Chapter 500: Chapter 399: Discussion

When Ren Qingqing didn’t get a reply, she felt uneasy. "President Jun, that’s the gist of it. Some details might be slightly off, but it’s more or less accurate..."

Ren Qingqing: "If you’re not satisfied, I can continue to investigate. I guarantee I’ll get you all the details."

Jun Xinghe replied, "No need. This is enough."

’I don’t need to hear any more.’

’Any single one of those things is enough.’

"Sigh."

Jun Xinghe sighed.

He was only just realizing what a miserable life his son-in-law had lived before.

’No wonder he’s so mature and steady. Such a good kid, and he was mercilessly bullied by that mother-daughter duo who exploited his love for Tongtong.’

He knew Jiang Liu had no other choice. He couldn’t just throw Tongtong to the wolves.

A woman like Li Xiaoyan might even sell Tongtong to human traffickers for money.

’If she fell into the hands of traffickers...’ The thought made Jun Xinghe even more furious.

’I have to treat Xiao Jiang and Tongtong better from now on. My own family has suffered so much. As their father-in-law, I need to give them more warmth...’

Jun Xinghe thought for a moment.

Then he asked, "Do you know what happened after that?"

"Huh?"

Ren Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then she caught on and replied, "Don’t you worry, President Jun. President Jiang might seem handsome and warm, but I think he’s the type of man who will never forgive you for the rest of his life if you cross him."

Ren Qingqing: "That kind of personality is a good thing for President Jiang. He might be willing to give you a chance, but he definitely has a temper."

Ren Qingqing: "From what I know, President Jiang seems to have had a sudden breakthrough after the divorce. Then that woman had ideas about getting back together, but with President Jiang’s personality, he would definitely refuse."

Ren Qingqing: "The two of them haven’t met. Besides, the young miss is always sticking close to President Jiang. If there was a problem, she would definitely be the first to notice."

As a woman with many years in the professional world,

her thoughts were meticulous, and she had immediately pinpointed Jun Xinghe’s worries.

Her boss was clearly worried that Jiang Liu would be moved by that woman again. After all, with a relationship that lasted several years, he was concerned there might be some lingering attachment.

After listening to the voice messages, Jun Xinghe

instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

His affection for his son-in-law rose to a new level.

What he feared most was his son-in-law being indecisive and wavering in matters of the heart.

If that happened, not only would he be upset, but his daughter would also have to suffer.

"Good, good, good. Little President Jiang won’t disappoint me."

Jun Xinghe smiled with satisfaction.

’As long as he lives a good life with my daughter, it’s fine if he teases my silly girl a bit, just as long as he doesn’t go too far.’

’As her father-in-law, he was on his son-in-law’s side.’

Ren Qingqing hesitated for a second before asking tentatively, "President Jun, what’s the plan? Should we act like it never happened, or should we retaliate?"

’She thought it would be best to just act like it never happened.’

The other party hadn’t actually done anything to disturb public order or destroy private property.

If they really pursued it, it would be over something trivial. There was no need for that.

Of course, in Ren Qingqing’s eyes,

if Jun Xinghe truly wanted to take action and teach them a lesson,

that would be truly terrifying.

For a top-tier big shot from Jing City to make a move, Yang Yixue’s twenty-million net worth would be like a bubble hitting a rock.

Not to mention her finances were currently in decline.

Jun Xinghe put down his phone to think.

’He definitely couldn’t let this go. He had to get some payback for his son-in-law and granddaughter.’

But,

this matter was a bit tricky to handle.

As Jiang Liu’s father-in-law, for him to suddenly make a move against his son-in-law’s ex-wife... If outsiders found out, they would gossip.

It wasn’t very appropriate.

There was another important point.

Jun Xinghe wasn’t sure what his own granddaughter was thinking.

What if he took action against Yang Yixue? As Tongtong’s mother, would Tongtong be angry with him?

If that happened, wouldn’t cracks start to appear in this newly formed, happy family?

Jun Xinghe considered the problem with rigorous and comprehensive thought.

He hesitated for a moment, phone in hand.

Then he called Jun Qingmeng.

*

At the kindergarten, Jun Qingmeng was just about to put her phone in the office to go look after the napping children when it suddenly rang.

She was a little surprised when she saw the caller ID.

"What’s up?" Jun Qingmeng answered the phone, her voice icy.

Hearing his daughter’s voice, Jun Xinghe was taken aback for a moment before he said, "I’ve run into a bit of a situation here and I don’t know what to do. I need to ask you to make the call."

?

Jun Qingmeng frowned, completely baffled.

’What could her always-autocratic father possibly need her to decide...?’

Jun Qingmeng thought for a moment, then said flatly, "Go on, I’m listening."

Her tone wasn’t as cold as before.

"Here’s what happened."

Jun Xinghe said in an emotionless tone:

"Last night, a woman with her head covered showed up at the entrance of Xiao Jiang’s second shop and tried to cause some damage. My investigation shows that this person is Yang Yixue’s mother, Li Xiaoyan."

"And?" Jun Qingmeng asked.

Jun Xinghe continued, "So for something like this, how do you think I should handle it? Should I ignore them, teach them a little lesson, or... make them disappear from Xiao Jiang’s world?"

He was vague about the last part.

Jun Qingmeng was stunned. She asked in confusion, "What’s the use of telling me this? I can’t be the one to decide. Why don’t you ask my husband?"

’Jiang Liu makes the decisions at home. Besides, this is my husband’s business. What could she do about it if he asked her?’

Jun Xinghe was taken aback by her words. "You’re saying I can ask Xiao Jiang directly? Isn’t that... inappropriate?"

He was worried about the complicated relationships involved.

He was afraid his son-in-law would be displeased with him.

Jun Qingmeng rolled her eyes and, imitating Jiang Liu’s tone, said irritably:

"Honestly, I don’t even know what you’re thinking. My husband and Yang Yixue have nothing to do with each other anymore. You could say they’re strangers. A stranger is trying to trash my husband’s shop, and you’re asking *me* what to do instead of him?!"

The stiff relationship between the two of them eased a little.

Jun Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a lighter tone, "Then what about Tongtong?"

Jun Qingmeng said, "I’ll ask her for you. Tongtong probably won’t have any objections."

She was very respectful of Tongtong’s feelings.

But she still had to ask.

Leaving the office, Jun Qingmeng caught sight of a child. "Xiao Xian, go get Tongtong for me."

"Teacher Jun, Tongtong is downstairs. I’ll go right now."

"Mhm."

Xiao Xian sped downstairs, the little boy bursting with energy.

Having received a mission from his teacher, he felt like he had transformed into Ultraman.

He got downstairs.

Xiao Xian immediately spotted Tongtong hitting leaves with a wooden stick, the little girl pouting out of boredom.

’She really wanted to go home and find her daddy right now.’

"Tongtong! Teacher Jun needs to see you!"

"Mama?... Where is Teacher Jun?"

"She’s waiting for you in the office. Hurry up," Xiao Xian urged.

’He had to complete the teacher’s mission quickly to get praised.’

"Oh, okay. Thank you."

Jiang Tongtong thanked him politely in her childish voice, patting the dirt off her jeans.

’She’d gotten her pants dirty again. Lately, Mama had been the one washing her clothes.’

Tongtong felt a pang of guilt.

She went up to the third floor.

Passing by the cartoon-covered green walls, Jiang Tongtong arrived at the office door.

The teachers who passed by didn’t pay her any mind; everyone knew that Jun Qingmeng and Jiang Liu were married.
