At the police station, Xi Ruiming was arrested on charges of kidnapping. Xi Jiuchen's bodyguard filmed and recorded all the evidence, and he could not escape.
Xi Jiuchen also re-applied for a re-investigation of his kidnapping case, with Xi Ruiming as a major suspect and the case of police officer Qiu Xingyue who died that year. The police attach great importance to this matter.
After coming out of the police station, Xi Jiuchen rushed to Tang Zhixia's community immediately. He called Zhan Qingye and told him what happened today and asked him to protect Tang Yuchen.
Zhan Qingye on the other end was also shocked, and quickly sent someone to the kindergarten to pick Tang Yuchen back to him, and he kept him by his side to take care of him these days.
Tang Zhixia was sitting on the sofa. The fear of kidnapping had dissipated. Complex emotions were surging in her heart. From the perspective of Mrs. Xi back then, if her only grandson was kidnapped, she would do anything crazy.
Not excessive.
Therefore, even if she threatens the mayor with the stock market crash to save people, there is nothing wrong with her.
The police station was under pressure and tried their best to save the young Xi Jiuchen. It was their responsibility.
Is it possible that without the pressure from superiors, her mother would not have died? She would not have experienced a motherless childhood again? Losing the person she loved most?
Tang Zhixia has not missed her mother so much for a long time. Her mother has always been the person living in her imagination, because she has no memory of being with her. She was only one year and eight months old at the time.
She didn't understand anything, only the mother in the photo looked at her so tenderly. Tang Zhixia couldn't control the tears streaming down her face, and she felt extremely distressed.
She doesn't hate anyone, but she doesn't want to meet anyone from the Xi family, including Xi Jiuchen.
She thought that what she should do was to cut off contact with the Xi family and stop touching anyone in the Xi family. That would be fair to her deceased mother.
At this moment, there was a knock on her door, and she probably guessed who it was.
But she didn't want to get up, let alone open the door.
"Zhixia...it's me, open the door." Xi Jiuchen's voice came.
The knocking on the door stopped for a while and then started ringing again. It was obvious that the man outside the door would not leave until he saw her.
Tang Zhixia wiped her tears, calmed down, washed her face, and then walked to the door and opened it.
She didn't look at the person outside the door, but said lightly, "Go away! I don't want to see you today."
Xi Jiuchen's heart immediately panicked. He didn't know what Xi Ruiming said to her, but he knew it must be something hurtful to her.
"Why don't you want to see me?" Xi Jiuchen asked hoarsely.
Tang Zhixia's eyes turned red and she raised her head to stare at him, "If you don't want to see me, you don't want to see me. Don't come to me again in the future, let alone contact me and my family. You Xi family should stay away from our Tang family."
"Zhi Xia..." Xi Jiuchen wanted to say something else, but the sound of a door closing blocked him.
Standing outside the door, Xi Jiuchen's handsome face was confused. Tang Zhixia's words hurt his heart and made him breathless.
He felt the trace of hatred in her eyes. What exactly did Xi Ruiming say to her?
Did she actually hate the Xi family?
No, Tang Zhixia didn't hate the Xi family, she just couldn't accept what the Xi family did to save people.
If the Xi family had not done this, would the mother still be alive?
Tang Zhixia closed his eyes. If his mother was still alive, Xi Jiuchen must have died when he was six years old.
The inexplicable pain in her chest made her suffocate.
Xi Jiuchen and her mother, she greedily wanted them to be alive.
Later, Tang Zhixia wanted to take her son home. She wanted to draw a clear line between herself and the Xi family. She wanted to lead her own life with her son, a life without the involvement of the Xi family.
Zhan Qingye heard her persistence on the phone and could only send the little one back before dinner.
"Mommy!" The little guy ran towards her as soon as he got off the car.
Tang Zhixia hugged her son and said to Zhan Qingye who got out of the car, "Thank you for taking care of Chenchen."
"This is what I should do, are you okay?" Zhan Qingye asked with concern.
"fine."
"Mommy, why are your ears hurt?" The little guy noticed with sharp eyes and cried out in distress.
"Mommy was accidentally scratched by something. It's okay." Tang Zhixia comforted her son with a smile.
But Zhan Qingye knew what she had been through, and he looked at her with concern, "Zhixia, no matter what happens, my brother and I will help you unconditionally."
"Thank you, go back!" After Tang Zhixia finished speaking, he took his son home.
When Tang Zhixia took his son home, he couldn't help but see the two people at the gate of the community. He looked familiar and said, "Mommy, are those Uncle Xi's bodyguards?"
Tang Zhixia deliberately denied it and said, "No, you saw it wrong."
Although Xi Jiuchen left, two of his men were standing downstairs while Tang Zhixia took her son home.
She wanted to take a long vacation with Li Mei, and she would not return to the company for the time being.
If the leave cannot be approved, she will resign.
Early the next morning, Tang Zhixia also asked for leave for her son and called Li Mei. Li Mei was surprised when she heard that she was going to ask for a three-month leave.
"Zhixia, have you told Mr. Xi about this matter?" Li Mei thought to herself that she couldn't make the decision on this matter.
"You can mention it to him. If he doesn't agree, I will come over and resign."
"Okay, then let me ask Mr. Xi." Li Mei replied.
Ten minutes later, Li Mei called back, "Mr. Xi agreed, and he gave you three months of paid leave, but I really can't let you go."
"Thank you." Tang Zhixia was also reluctant to leave her.
"Be sure to stay in touch."
"Well, Sister Mei, thank you for taking care of me during this time." Tang Zhixia said gratefully.
"Don't say that, I know very well that Mr. Xi acquired qr not because of its development prospects, but because of you. Without you, our Ruibao Pavilion's fate would not be so good." Li Mei saw through everything.
Tang Zhixia's heart twitched inexplicably, and then she asked the doubts in her heart, "Sister Mei, who negotiated with the client I went to see yesterday?"
Because her kidnapper seemed to expect her to appear there, it was like she had stepped into a trap.
Li Mei didn't know the story of the kidnapping, so she didn't think much about it, "This client was negotiated by Lin Jingjing. She was originally the one who went there, but she said that the client wanted to see you, so I sent you there."
Lin Jingjing?
Tang Zhixia frowned, is she related to this kidnapping case?
But she really couldn't figure out whether there was a relationship between Lin Jingjing and Xi Ruiming, or was there something wrong with the client? But why was it Lin Jingjing who took over at the beginning, and finally it was in her hands?
"Thank you, Sister Mei. Let's make an appointment next time."
"Okay!" Li Mei smiled.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Zhixia looked at the time and saw that it was time to prepare lunch for her son.
But there was nothing in the refrigerator, so she said to the little one, "Chenchen, go shopping with mommy."
"Okay!" the little guy said happily.
Tang Zhixia took a down jacket and put it on him. The weather outside was already about ten degrees Celsius, so he couldn't catch a cold.
After going downstairs, Tang Zhixia saw that the bodyguards were still there, and when she left, they followed her.
Tang Zhixia asked them to follow, and they went to a supermarket outside the door to buy vegetables.
Tang Zhixia was picking vegetables when she heard her son beside her suddenly shout in surprise, "Uncle Xi."
