CHAPTER 283: CHAPTER 283: YI FAMILY DISCORD

Tuanzi is sending New Year greetings with her friends.

Even though she didn’t go to kindergarten, she made a group of good friends through the shows.

In "Travel with Parents 2," she met Liu Yue, who can dance but is a bit shy, Su Chaomu, who pursues romance, and the little bossy Tang Jing.

In "Go on an adventure together," she also met the tiger-headed Cui Jixing, the super cute mixed-race child Fu Youyou, the little prince Gu Jiujiu who wants to protect his family, and Xiong Chenli, who always wants to be her apprentice.

In "Leisurely Country Life," she met Wu Yu, the Buddha-like boy, Lin Ci, who can sing opera and perform with water sleeves, and Liu Bai, the tsundere boy who says one thing but means another.

Not to mention in the recent "Let’s Transform Together," she met the twins Ai Tanbo and Ai Fengyi, as well as the well-behaved and smart Yi Kai.

Tuanzi listed out the names she would call, feeling wise beyond her years.

"Oh my, Miaomiao has too many friends, I can hardly count them."

That’s what she said, but there was a shimmering smile in her big eyes. Clearly, she was enjoying it; otherwise, she wouldn’t be swinging her little short legs, making her voice sound as sweet as honey.

She called them one by one, and in the end, it was Yi Kai’s turn.

A man’s angry rebuke could be heard when the call connected.

Tuanzi immediately got up, her little face tense.

"What’s wrong, is your dad hitting you again? Where are you now? Are you hurt? Quickly find a place to hide!"

A string of questions was fired off.

"No, I’m now... in the car."

Yi Kai’s voice sounded somewhat disappointed, yet carried a hint of secret elation that he might not even have realized.

The background noise included not only the man’s angry rebuke but also an elderly yet stern voice.

Tuanzi realized, "Did your grandpa come to pick you up? Are you leaving with him?"

"Yes, because..."

The little boy lay against the car window watching the flushed Yi Fei and the very angry grandfather Ding Zhang.

He was initially a little scared, but just thinking about his brother who had pushed him outside earlier and the proactive call from Gu Miaomiao eased his fear.

The little boy tried to use concise words to describe his recent experiences.

During the live broadcast, his grandpa had contacted him. He didn’t mention Yi Fei hitting him, nor did his grandpa bring up anything else, awkwardly showing concern instead. Also, during conversations, he clearly sensed that his grandpa was following the show, otherwise, he wouldn’t have known so much about his newly made friends and his life by the sea.

This seemingly stern, yet actually warm care made him very relaxed and gradually expectant to chat with his grandpa, even meeting him.

Later one day, they finally met, his grandpa saw the injuries on him, was very angry, but seemed unsurprised, as if he had already learned about it from someone else.

With close contact, he gained a new understanding of his grandpa.

Gradually, his grandpa visited him more and more often, eventually being discovered by his father.

His father was very angry, but he couldn’t understand. Clearly, they were both his relatives, why couldn’t they visit him? He also wanted more relatives to love him, he would try hard to be a well-behaved and smart kid.

"Dad looked so scary at that time, I, I was really afraid of him."

He used to be afraid, not knowing what to do, muddle-headedly believing that’s how family should interact. But until he got close to his grandpa, he discovered family could be different.

The balance in his heart unknowingly tilted.

This New Year, Yi Fei also had no plans to take him to visit his grandpa, resultantly his grandpa came to the door himself, planning to take him away to take care of.

Tuanzi hurriedly asked, "You should have agreed, right? Listen carefully, so you can understand who’s genuinely good to you!"

"I know," Yi Kai was a bit embarrassed, yet somewhat sad, "I want to live with my grandpa, but I’ll still come back to visit dad occasionally, but dad was very angry, almost hit me in front of grandpa just now."

The background noise was still being made by Yi Fei and Ding Zhang.

Tuanzi tried hard to listen and got the gist.

Yi Fei accused Ding Zhang of meddling as an outsider, claiming he was Yi Kai’s guardian. Ding Zhang threatened him that if he didn’t let go, he’d expose what Yi Fei had done, Yi Fei then backed down.

[Ancient Martial System: Yi Fei will let go, he is the guardian, Ding Zhang will take him away to care for him, but Yi Kai is his son, he will be coming back after]

However, the environment greatly impacts people. Yi Kai, who grew up cared for by Ding Zhang, will definitely be different from now. When Yi Kai becomes an adult, Yi Fei’s so-called control will become a joke.

Tuanzi pondered.

[Ancient Martial System: Ding Zhang is very smart, directly snatching guardianship rights, Yi Fei would absolutely not let go, but just proposing to care, Yi Fei simply talks; he might even take the opportunity to reconnect with his father-in-law, attracting investment]

The fair little face showed disdain.

[Miaomiao: Such a person is really blinded by interests]

Even using his own son as a bargaining chip.

Confirming Yi Kai left with his grandpa, Tuanzi ended the call, unaware that another argument soon erupted in the Yi Family.

Yi Fei sat on the sofa smoking, glimpsed Yi Heng calmly going upstairs and called him, waiting for him to look over, he sneered.

"Did you already know that old man was contacting Yi Kai?"

Yi Heng’s expression was indifferent, "My relationship with Yi Kai is just like that, usually wouldn’t pay extra attention to him. Besides, during the live broadcast, I mostly stayed in the kitchen, didn’t manage anything else."

Yi Fei stared at him, changing his tone, "He’s free now, do you want to run too?"

Yi Heng remained silent.

"Ha," Yi Fei brought up another matter, "Don’t think I don’t know, you helped that woman Ai Jie using the marketing account raised by your studio, what, you fancy her?"

The hand on the stair railing suddenly clenched hard.

"That woman," various schemes flashed in Yi Fei’s eyes, "was married with two kids, even a few years older than you, could never enter our house."

Yi Heng turned, took a deep breath, when he turned back around he snickered, "Don’t think our house is so remarkable, she doesn’t even care for me. Anyway, she would never again step into the grave of marriage."

Some things, trying once in a lifetime is enough.

He believed Ai Jie initially believed in true love; otherwise, she wouldn’t have retired at the peak of her career to get married and have children. She’s a smart woman, must have felt love from Shan Hao to get married.

True love exists, but love has a shelf life. Some people’s love lasts a lifetime, some only a few short years.

Now restarting, aiming for the peak again, encountering many difficulties along the way, also being entangled by her ex-husband, with Ai Jie’s wisdom and decisiveness, she definitely wouldn’t dabble in love, which is ever-changing anymore.

Yi Fei acted as if he hadn’t heard, continued speaking to himself, "Not getting married, but can talk to her, utilize her current popularity, even let her introduce resources."

Yi Heng’s face turned completely cold.

"Even if not talking, we can buy press releases to stir things. After all, you helped her before, if other marketing accounts dig out this point, and then find people to sway your fans. People are always harsh on women, when everyone misunderstands you two were dating, surely more would sympathize with you."

Yi Heng laughed from anger, "Dad, it’s a shame you don’t open an entertainment company or work as an agent!"

A director, yet so adept in marketing; no wonder all these years, only the few movies made when his mom was here were watchable, what he makes now is all garbage.
