Dual trump card
Dual trump card
Liu Ning: "I saw everything with my own eyes. On one side I saw our kids struggling while on the other you fell down in the waterfall. Wh-when I ran to save our kids, Yang Mi's men caught hold of me. Seeing the amount of blood flowing from Jianyu's body, they left him to die there, taking away Qinqin, me and brother Zhichan's body."
"Rest everyone knows…. They planted the device in my skull to control Ding and my father. I know what my husband did was wrong, but don't punish Jianyu for his father's wrongdoings. My Jianyu is innocent! He has done nothing wrong with Qinqin! From the day he took your baby girl in his arms, he had his eyes on her only."
"What Mr. and Mrs. Feng have mentioned about Jianyu's accident years back is true. It's a miracle he survived such a bad fall." Qiao Li was done looking at Feng Jianyu's medical records. "It's a case of complete amnesia…. The chances of getting these memories are next to zero considering the time passed."
Feng Jianyu looked at Mo Zhichan pleadingly. "I'm doing this for my son…. His feelings for Xiao Qinqin is carved in stone…. No matter how much someone will try he is not going to give up on her until his last breath. And it's not one-sided, they both are stubborn for each other. It's the destiny that has brought them together, then who are we to separate them because of our old problems….."
"Why are you pleading?" Mo Zhichan instantly stopped Feng Dingxiong from saying anything more. "It was not your fault; I'd never hold you responsible for anything. In fact, I'm ashamed of myself, it's because of my invention Sister Ning and you had been through so much. If I was forced to live away from my wife and kids, then you had been through the same too. We just happen to be the victim of many interconnected situations created by the Yang family."
"In the past few days, I've seen Jianyu taking care of Qinqin diligently. And just now we've all witnessed Jianyu's importance in her life." Saying he glanced at his family who was awfully quiet. "And now that our kids are already MARRIED…. I, Mo Zhichan forbid the members of the Mo family to interfere in MY daughter's life." He chuckled, "Anyway, even if they try, I know what Qinqin will do….."

Meanwhile, in Xiu Mei's room….
Feng Jianyu was lying in Xiu Mei's bed with his head propped up while she was sleeping beside him. Or maybe pretending to sleep!
He rubbed his thumb on her cheeks, don't know why but it's his favorite part to do. The feeling of her soft squishy cheeks is irresistible. He bends down and sniffed her, her fragrance instantly brought a smile on his face. "Chipmunk…. If you are done acting, open your eyes. No one is there in the room other than me."
Xiu Mei "…"
She sneakily peeked through her right eye. Her face turned into a pout. "Earlier I really slept, but when mother spoke harshly I woke up. She should not have spoken to you rudely. Whatever happened has nothing to do with you. Why is she blaming an innocent?"
Feng Jianyu took a deep breath. "She was not rude but worried for you. Trying stepping into her shoes, think what she must be going through at the moment. Now that she got her family after so many years, isn't it obvious she would be protective of you? And how can you forget things happened because of Uncle Mo helped Feng family?"
"That's wrong. Everything happened because Yang Mi was after my father. And how CAN YOU forget that it was my father's invention that kept you away from your mother's love?" Xiu Mei felt her words contradictory now. Earlier she was blaming Feng Dingxiong but isn't that it was no one's fault. Everyone is a victim in some way.
Jianyu took her cold hands in his warm ones and Xiu Mei felt instant heat warming her body. She missed this touch. Yes… he is her personal human heater. She can't wait to sleep again in his arms! "See…. Do you understand? Now that we have vocalized our thoughts we realized the problems are from both sides. It's nothing love, both the families need a long talk to understand this point. Only then they will stop blaming each other."
The way Zeng Ruo kept on giving a cold shoulder to Feng brothers and Wang Shi, Jianyu has very much guessed the reason. Therefore, he made sure that the elders of the Feng family are available as soon as the topic is brought ahead.
Since the matter was between the older generations, it's best they solve it themselves.
"Hmm… But do you think they will understand? What if they tried to separate us? I won't let you go away from me. Nope… never… never ever… no… no… Just the thought of not having you in my life is killing me. I can't let that happen."
Seeing her shaking her head like a rattle drum he hugged her close to his chest. "Relax! It's not like our families are rivals or something. This resentment will soon be cleared once they talk peacefully. That's why I've arranged for the elders to be present here in case Mo family behaved out of the line."
His words realize Xiu Mei how much Feng Jianyu was prepared beforehand. "If they still behaved like stubborn toddlers, then I will take out my dual trump card."
Feng Jianyu pulled her away from his hug. "And what's that?"
