When it comes to protecting his child, Qi Shifeng's actions can be described as a "role model".
When Liu Ning could still see the child before, she had tried to speak ill of others in front of Youyou.
Especially after she learned that Qi Shifeng still had feelings for Xu Tingyu, she even said bad things about Xu Tingyu in front of Youyou.
Qi Shifeng didn't give chance after chance like Qian Luo did.
He made a decisive decision right away and didn't allow Liu Ning to see Youyou anymore.
Moreover, after more absurd incidents happened, he straightforwardly told Youyou that from then on, he shouldn't listen to a single word his grandma said.
Mom and Dad were his guardians.
Although Youyou didn't understand what had happened between the adults, he knew that anyone who spoke ill of his mom was not a good person.
Grandma saying bad things about Mom was really wrong.
Thanks to Qi Shifeng's swift and decisive actions, Liu Ning had restrained herself a lot.
At least, on the surface, she didn't dare to bother Youyou anymore.
The biggest problem with Qian Luo now was that he wasn't firm enough in dealing with his parents' interference in his children's education.
Each time he showed favoritism was an attempt by his parents.
This ingrained preference for sons over daughters wouldn't change without a heart - rending lesson.
Qian Luo listened and nodded thoughtfully. Then he suddenly looked at Xu Tingyu.
"Miss Xu, did you have a good relationship with your younger brother before?"
If it weren't for the fact that there was no malice in his expression and eyes, but instead a bit of innocent foolishness, Xu Tingyu would definitely have thought he did it on purpose.
He should have known that her younger brother was no longer alive, and almost everyone regarded it as a taboo.
In fact, as soon as Qian Luo said the words, he realized it was inappropriate.
But since the words were out, he couldn't take them back, so he could only continue to look at Xu Tingyu innocently.
She composed herself and became the gentle and demure Xu Tingyu again.
"I had a very good relationship with my younger brother. But personality is largely innate. Although my parents were partial, my younger brother was kind - hearted by nature."
"Moreover, the preference for sons over daughters in my family wasn't that obvious. At least, before I was sensible, I always thought there was no difference between my brother and me."
The tone of her last sentence became a bit sarcastic.
Xu Jia had a good relationship with her. Besides his innate kindness, another reason was that Xu Jianmin hid his preference for sons over daughters very well, and Zhang Qiu was very good at putting on a show.
At that time, Xu Tingyu didn't have any conflicts of interest with Xu Jia, so the relationship in their family was harmonious.
It was only when the peaceful appearance was broken and interests became scarce resources that their true natures were revealed.
They didn't hesitate to sacrifice their daughter to protect their son's interests.
"Mr. Qian, some people are born dull, while some are born sensitive. Everyone has a different personality."
"I used to be a bit dull in matters of the heart and often couldn't detect when others disliked me."
"So most of the time, no matter how badly others treated me, as long as they smiled at me, I thought it meant they liked me and it was a sign of friendliness."
"This kind of insensitivity isn't the same for everyone. Some children are very sensitive. So my experience can't serve as a reference for you."
She was actually a bit worried about the little girl named Zhaozhao.
If her parents continued to ignore the fact that she was being looked down upon at home, what kind of person would she become?
She might also stop loving herself.
Qian Luo was deeply touched. He kept saying to the two of them, "I really did think things too simply. I'm not a qualified father at all."
"And after hearing what you said, I really feel I'm a terrible person. I'll go back right now and give my Zhaozhao a hug."
As he said this, he stood up and was about to walk out.
When he was almost at the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "I'll go back first to deal with family matters. How about we have dinner together tonight?"
Without waiting for the two of them to refuse, he continued, "We haven't gotten together for a long time. I'll bring my two children then. What do you think?"
"Please help me persuade my wife to stop giving me the cold shoulder. I really can't stand it."
"I'll reserve a table. See you tonight."
After saying that, without giving the two of them a chance to speak, he ran away.
Xu Tingyu came back to her senses, glanced at Qi Shifeng, and said calmly, "Your friend has a completely different personality from yours."
She hadn't met many of Qi Shifeng's friends. Although she knew Qian Luo, she wasn't very familiar with him.
She only knew that the other person liked to crack jokes and always had a big smile on his face whenever she saw him.
It was really surprising that Qi Shifeng would be friends with someone of this personality.
"Qian Luo once saved my life," Qi Shifeng suddenly said, looking at the disappearing figure outside the door.
Their personalities were indeed worlds apart.
Before he was forced to work in the Qi Corporation, even when his personality wasn't as taciturn as it was later, he wasn't an easy - going person.
But Qian Luo was different. He was enthusiastic, humorous, and wherever he went, there was laughter.
Although they had been in the same class since kindergarten, they didn't have much interaction.
In fact, Qi Shifeng wasn't very good at making friends and mostly kept to himself.
In the sixth grade of primary school, after school, he had to discuss a problem with the teacher, so he came out a bit late.
When he got to the school gate, he didn't see the car sent by his family to pick him up.
This usually wouldn't happen. Normally, the family would send a car to pick him and Qi Ruixi up every day.
Qi Ye in junior high school was picked up by a different car.
This time, not only didn't he see the family car, but he also didn't see Qi Ruixi.
He waited for a while, but the car didn't come. When he was about to call home to confirm, he received a call from the family driver.
"Second young master, my car broke down on the road. I can't come for the time being. I've asked my friend to pick you up."
The other person apologized and told him the license plate number of his friend's car.
He also asked, "What about Xixi?"
"Xixi had a performance today and went home at 3 p.m."
After hearing this, Qi Shifeng didn't think much more and hung up the phone.
Soon, the car the driver uncle had mentioned arrived.
He thought it was a bit strange because this car didn't look like the one usually used to pick people up.
It was not only a shabby van but also looked a bit scary. The car windows were sealed, and the license plate looked odd.
Just as he was wondering, the car stopped in front of him. Two people got out and without saying a word, picked him up and stuffed him into the car.
He wanted to shout for help, but his mouth was covered.
And since it had been a while after school, there weren't many people at the school gate.
No one noticed his abnormal situation.
The car quickly left the school gate. He had his hands and feet tied, and his eyes were blindfolded.
Obviously, it was a kidnapping.
