Li Miaoyu said dissatisfiedly: "What are you looking at me for? It has nothing to do with me!"
Wei Zhide whispered: "But Dad will also be scolded, but Aunt Miao won't..."
"I just got beaten by your mother."
Li Miaoyu said angrily, "It's such a happy decision. When your mother finds out, she will say that it was father who made us eat... one box for each of us!"
She dragged Wei Zhide to the sofa, grabbed a box of ice cream, opened it, and said to the little guy: "Eat it quickly, eat it quickly... No, don't be in a hurry, taste it slowly."
Wei Zhide looked at his father, hesitated for a moment, then took a scoop of ice cream and handed it to his father.
Li Miaoyu said happily: "Yes, smart, let your father eat it, and he won't be able to run away later. Isn't this how Jianjia and Weirui framed you last time?"
"There was no frame-up."
Wei Zhide explained to the sisters in a low voice, "We agreed that if they want to eat, I will help them get it."
"You are stupid."
Li Miaoyu patted him gently and said, "Eat quickly."
Wei Qingfan ate his own spoon, returned the spoon to his son, and said with a smile: "Okay, eat it. When mom finds out, just tell the truth. Don't lie. Mom is so smart, we can't deceive her."
of."
Li Miaoyu hummed: "To be honest, it was you who instigated me. Anyway, don't try to bring trouble to me."
Wei Zhide had someone to support him, so he no longer struggled and started eating happily. Suddenly he stopped and looked at his father and then at Aunt Miao.
Li Miaoyu asked: "Do you want your sister to eat together?"
Wei Zhide nodded.
"We only have two boxes in total."
Li Miaoyu whispered, "If you share it with them, we will have less to eat."
Wei Zhide also whispered: "I can eat less, just taste it."
Li Miaoyu said angrily: "Then you go and give it to your sister. Auntie Miao has to eat it herself."
"good."
The little guy happily agreed, took more than half of the box of ice cream to give to his sisters, and soon came out of the room empty-handed.
Wei Qingfan smiled and asked, "Why don't you stay in the room and eat together?"
Wei Zhide shook his head and said nothing.
"You must be craving for food just looking at it in the room, right?"
Li Miaoyu said with a smile, stretched out the remaining half of the box in front of him and shook it, "Do you still want to eat?"
Wei Zhide looked at her, shook his head and said, "No, this belongs to Aunt Miao."
Li Miaoyu then continued to eat the ice cream, "You gave the ice cream to your sister, didn't they say anything?"
Wei Zhide watched Aunt Miao eating the ice cream, looked away with difficulty, and whispered: "Weirui was just eating, and Jianjia asked me where I got it..."
Wei Qingfan smiled and asked: "Then you said it?"
"Um."
Wei Zhide nodded.
Li Miaoyu asked again: "Then Jianjia ate it? Then you came out?"
Wei Zhide nodded again.
Li Miaoyu then asked: "Did you come out on your own, or did Jian Jia ask you to come out?"
Wei Zhide hesitated and said truthfully: "Jianjia asked me if I wanted to play there. I said no, so I came out..."
"You're stupid!"
Li Miaoyu poked his head with a finger, "Your mother is so smart, why are you so honest? Jian Jia deliberately let you out, just to plot my ice cream..."
She snorted, pushed the ice cream to Wei Zhide, and said, "Okay, Aunt Miao has finished eating. I'll give you the rest...I'll go find Jian Jia to settle the score."
Wei Qingfan said funny: "You'd better go find Wanwan, I hope you teach her a lesson in the next life."
Wei Zhide had just taken the ice cream from Aunt Miao. Hearing this, he quickly returned the ice cream to her and explained: "I came out, Jianjia didn't ask me to ask Aunt Miao for it..."
"She's like a little fox, she won't say anything directly."
Li Miaoyu snorted and suddenly heard footsteps on the stairs. He quickly lowered his voice and said: "Your mother is here, let's run quickly..."
She took Wei Zhide and ran to Li Wanyun's room. Wei Qingfan looked towards the stairs and saw his mother, Li Wanyi and Jiang Qinghuai coming up together. Huang Hua, who looked quite thin, also followed, but he was nowhere to be seen.
"Hehe and Yaya are staring."
Jiang Qinghuai was afraid that Huang Hua would be old and sad when he saw her, so he explained with a smile, "I don't know what I'm staring at with my big eyes and small eyes."
Wang Shuhua turned around and looked around. She didn't see her grandchildren, so she hurriedly asked: "Where are the people?"
"Where's Wanyun's room?"
Wang Shuhua went to find her grandchildren, while Li Wanyi came to Wei Qingfan and sneered: "Have you finished eating?"
Wei Qingfan laughed and said, "Did you see it too?"
"Miaomiao is so loud, who can't hear it?"
Jiang Qinghuai curled his lips, "If it weren't for the fear that Xiaode would eat too quickly and choke, senior sister would have come here in the morning."
Li Wanyi glared at her, but did not deny it. She slapped Wei Qingfan with her backhand and said: "Don't always encourage him to make mistakes. Isn't it good to be good? He doesn't need any pioneering spirit, let alone
If you need to take risks, being prudent is enough.”
"you think too much."
Wei Qingfan squeezed her hand and then Jiang Qinghuai, "I just want him to be happy and not always think so far ahead. He is not even six years old."
"I feel so too."
Jiang Qinghuai leaned against him, looked at Li Wanyi, and said with a smile: "Sister, you think too much, just let nature take its course, don't have so much psychological pressure, and in the new era, it doesn't have to be a boy.
Only then can we establish a family, so don’t put so much pressure on Xiao De.”
Li Wanyi was deeply affected by the patriarchal mentality, but when she became a parent herself, she seemed to be making the same mistake, but in different forms:
She dotes on Wei Rui, but has strict requirements on Wei Zhide.
To put it another way, this means that we have higher expectations for Wei Zhide, but have a somewhat casual attitude towards Wei Rui.
This is partly due to the fact that Wei Zhide is the eldest, and also because of his desire to raise Wei Rui to be like Li Miaoyu, and even partly due to the influence of Wei Zhiyan’s birth.
——There are four children in the family, two boys and two girls. The two boys were born to her and Li Wanyun respectively. From a "powerful" perspective, this is a bit unbalanced.
Li Wanyi is not unsmart, but it is inevitable that she will still have the shackles brought by her own experience and the limitations of the authorities. Wei Qingfan, Jiang Qinghuai, Li Miaoyu, and even Li Wanyun have all seen some clues, so they are all using their own methods.
to "neutralize" her influence.
Li Wanyi has too much influence in the family, and Wei Qingfan doesn't want to be too obvious. Together, the four of them can just barely maintain a balance with her.
However, Li Wanyi was extremely smart after all. Wei Qingfan and Jiang Qinghuai explained a little more clearly. She immediately noticed something was slightly wrong. She first looked at Wei Qingfan and Jiang Qinghuai suspiciously, and then showed a thoughtful expression.
She pondered for two seconds, looked at Wei Qingfan and Jiang Qinghuai, and asked in a suspicious voice in a low voice: "You all think there's something wrong with my mentality?"
Jiang Qinghuai hesitated for a moment and did not express his position as usual, but looked at Wei Qingfan.
This is her way of survival, not a way of truth, but a concept. No matter how close the relationship is, she will never conflict with Li Wanyi in these aspects.
From an objective point of view, she is Wei Qingfan's secretary, and Li Miaoyu is the second largest shareholder of the ancient poetry company. After working in the past few years, she has gradually begun to take over the company's financial power. No one is more powerful than Li Wanyi, who runs Qingyun.
"Important" because Ancient Poetry Company is the focus of Wei Qingfan's industry, which is not on the same level as Qingyun and Qingyu.
However, Jiang Qinghuai had a clear understanding of this. She and Li Miaoyu, and even brought Li Wanyun together to rebel against Li Wanyi, had no chance of success or resistance.
Moreover, just like how she occasionally expressed her stance when Li Wanyi and Li Miaoyu were having fun, Li Miaoyu and Li Wanyun had no reason to stand opposite Li Wanyi.
Therefore, despite being harmonious and close to each other for so many years, she still avoids taking a stand on similar matters.
If she really wanted to say something, she would have said it in a thoughtful way when she was alone with Li Wanyi. If a third person was present, she would have kept silent.
No matter how close the family is, this is no longer their business alone. They all have children and family members behind them. Wei Qingfan's property is getting bigger and bigger, so he has to be more and more cautious.
Li Wanyi herself is strong enough. Behind Li Miaoyu are Li Shuqing, Zhao Yaquan, and even her grandfather. It is just her and Jian Jia without any help behind her.
"Kind of."
Wei Qingfan never talked about this matter with Li Wanyi, because this is a normal situation and human nature, and her idea does make sense. For several children in the family, such a role is indeed needed.
Otherwise, if the growing environment is too relaxed, it may not necessarily be better.
But since Li Wanyi asked, he naturally didn't hide it, nodded and said with a smile: "Especially after Zhiyan was born, I feel that you are a little anxious."
Jiang Qinghuai smiled and said: "If Xiaoyan was a girl, maybe... No, if Xiaode was a boy, you would still be like this. If Xiaode was a girl, you wouldn't be like this."
Li Wanyi didn't speak. She sat there and reflected for a while, then said: "It seems a bit..."
Jiang Qinghuai smiled and said: "We are all too unruly. Someone has to be more serious. The main reason is that Miaomiao and I are not good at teaching children. From now on, senior, you can play the red face more often, and I will play the bad side with him."
Li Wanyi rolled her eyes and stopped worrying about this issue, saying, "I'll go back and think about it slowly. Let's not talk about it for now. Where are you and Miaomiao going to play?"
Wei Qingfan asked: "Are you going too?"
"How can I have time?"
Li Wanyi rolled her eyes at him again, "Jian Jia Jia Wei Rui wants to go out to play, and Xiao De seems to want to go out to play too. Don't worry, it won't affect you. You can take your wedding photos at a different time or at a different location."
Jiang Qinghuai said: "We can wait until they finish filming before we go."
Wei Qingfan thought for a moment, "Wan Yun is going? Can't we just leave her at home?"
"I can't go. If she wants to go, we can go together. The main thing is that someone has to watch Xiao De and the three of them. I can watch Xiao Yan at home."
Li Wanyi also leaned on his shoulder and sighed, "I feel like I have been locked in life, and it is difficult to go out for a walk."
"Don't take yourself too seriously."
Wei Qingfan stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, "The company won't be able to function without you. Besides, we have a mobile phone and a computer. If something happens, we can't delay it. Let's take this opportunity to go out and play together."
Li Wanyi was a little moved, but still a little hesitant, and said: "We will discuss it later and finalize your and Miaomiao's itinerary first."
Li Miaoyu had almost finalized the trip for the two to take wedding photos. After some discussion, they quickly decided on Europe as the main venue. However, Li Miaoyu also proposed that he want to go to Australia to take photos of kangaroos. Several children responded positively after hearing this, so they started
Divide the journey into two parts.
In mid-November, Wei Qingfan accompanied Li Miaoyu to Europe to take wedding photos, and then returned to Beijing to take their children to see kangaroos.
Originally I planned to go with the whole family, but because it was a bit difficult to take care of the elderly with children, and Li Wanyun had her son at home, she also needed someone to accompany her, so the final decision was made by Li Miaoyu, Jiang Qinghuai, Wei Qingchan, and Wei
Qinghuan and his four children, Wei Zhide and Yang Cunan, went to play together.
Wei Qingfan has something to deal with at the company, so he will set off with Li Wanyi in a few days.
Li Miaoyu and the others set off on the 25th and spent a few days there. Wei Qingfan and Li Wanyi had tickets for November 30th to meet up in Canberra.
However, just the day before departure, on the morning of November 29, Wei Qingfan was in a meeting at the company when he suddenly received a call from Jiang Qinghuai.
Wei Qingfan was a little strange and confused. Jiang Qinghuai knew that he was in a meeting and usually sent messages, so why would he call directly?
Because of this doubt, he was worried that something had happened, so he hesitated and did not hang up the phone. Instead, he took out the wireless earphones, hung them on his ears, and answered the call.
"Husband, it's not good!"
As soon as the call was connected, Jiang Qinghuai's voice came from the other side. He was very anxious and seemed to be crying, "Miaomiao has been taken away!"
"By whom?"
Wei Qingfan was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't care about the meeting. He immediately stood up and walked outside, while softly comforting him, "Don't worry, I'm here. Tell me slowly, what's wrong?"
"We had just finished eating and were about to go back to the room to rest. Suddenly, people from ASIS came to find Miaomiao, saying that she was suspected of commercial crimes and asking her to cooperate with the investigation... Now Miaomiao has been taken away by them, and Sister Chan and I are following them.
