Wandering among the heavens, learning has no end.

"We'll listen to Xiao Ji, Ziqiu. Don't worry, if we don't agree, no one can take you away."

Li Haichao looked at He Ziqiu and said.

He Ziqiu smiled and nodded: "Mm."

He Mei was still somewhat worried.

After all, he was the person who knew Zhao Huaguang best among those present.

She worried that Zhao Huaguang wouldn't follow the rules.

He Ziqiu noticed that He Mei seemed a little absent-minded, so he grabbed her hand and said, "Mom, I won't go with him."

He Mei came to her senses and smiled: "Of course I know, he doesn't deserve to be your father, nor does he deserve to take you away."

"You think you can take my brother away? No way!"

Li Jianjian echoed this sentiment.

The family continued eating, and Ji Yuan looked at Ling Heping and said, "Dad Ling, I'm counting on you to find a lawyer. You're a policeman, you should be able to find a pretty good one."

Money is no problem; I'll pay for the lawyer. Don't be shy.

"Row."

Ling Heping nodded.

……

The next day.

Ji Yuan first went to the school's dean of students, and then went with him to the school gatekeeper to tell him not to let Zhao Huaguang into the school.

Zhao Huaguang came to the school yesterday. There are surveillance cameras at the gate. Ji Yuan showed the surveillance footage to the gatekeepers and pointed out Zhao Huaguang's appearance.

With the head of the teaching department arriving, the gatekeeper naturally agreed to Ji Yuan's request.

However, even the head of the teaching department was somewhat bewildered.

First Ling Xiao, then He Ziqiu.

The parents of the students at their school are all so frustrating.

Don't you know your child is already a senior in high school? Especially with only one month left until the college entrance exam, why are you still making things difficult for them?

The school held a meeting that very day.

Strengthen security at the gate.

In the future, unless it's for something like a parent-teacher meeting, if a student's parents want to come in, the security guard will first notify the student's homeroom teacher, and then the homeroom teacher will confirm with the student before letting them in.

……

In the following days, Zhao Huaguang actually came again.

This time, however, they were stopped directly.

Zhao Huaguang smiled at the gatekeeper and said, "I am a student's parent."

"No entry."

The gatekeeper didn't even bother to glance at Zhao Huaguang.

"Why aren't the students' parents allowed in?!"

Zhao Huaguang was not convinced.

"No entry."

The gatekeeper took a sip of tea and said calmly.

"You...can do it..."

Zhao Huaguang wanted to get angry, but the occasion was inappropriate, so he held back, pointed at the gatekeeper, picked up his bag, and turned to leave.

……

Unable to enter the school, Zhao Huaguang went directly to the beauty salon that He Mei was currently running, which he had found out about through connections.

However, it was another wasted trip. Now that the beauty salon is on the right track, He Mei no longer spends every day in the shop.

These past few days, He Mei has been almost constantly in Jin Ding Lane.

The main reason was to prevent Zhao Huaguang from approaching Li Haichao alone, as she was worried that Li Haichao would suffer a loss.

Unable to find anyone at the beauty salon, Zhao Huaguang had no choice but to go to Jinding Lane instead.

……

Before even arriving at Haichao Noodle Restaurant, he first called He Mei.

In order to reunite with He Ziqiu, he inquired about many things.

They learned that He Mei had returned and also found out He Mei and Li Haichao's current phone numbers.

Hai Chao Noodle Restaurant.

He Mei's phone rang, and Zhao Huaguang's voice came through the phone after she answered.

"He Mei, it's me, Zhao Huaguang."

Upon hearing Zhao Huaguang's voice, He Mei's expression froze.

“Zhao Huaguang, I know you went to see Ziqiu. I advise you to give up on that idea. Ziqiu will not acknowledge you as his father, and he will not carry on the Zhao family line.”

He Mei said firmly.

Zhao Huaguang smiled and said, "I'm also telling you that I will definitely acknowledge He Ziqiu back!"

I am He Ziqiu's biological father; that is an unchangeable fact.

I'm on my way to Li Haichao's house. Let's meet there.

After Zhao Huaguang finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Hai Chao Noodle Restaurant.

After hanging up the phone, He Mei immediately went to the kitchen to find Li Haichao.

I told Zhao Huaguang about the phone call and that he wanted to come over.

Li Haichao immediately said, "It's alright, call Attorney Zhang."

As Li Haichao spoke, he took out his phone and called a very capable local lawyer that Ling Heping had contacted.

This lawyer Zhang's law firm is not far from Jinding Lane.

Before long, Attorney Zhang arrived at 202 ahead of Zhao Huaguang.

……

202.

When Zhao Huaguang arrived, he looked at the old neighborhood with a look of disgust.

When Zhao Huaguang reached the door of room 202, he knocked on it.

A moment later, the door opened.

Zhao Huaguang was taken aback; it was someone he didn't recognize.

He had seen photos of Li Haichao's family beforehand and was certain that the person in the suit in front of him was not a member of Li Haichao's family.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao, I am the lawyer hired by Ms. He Mei. I will be communicating with you on behalf of my client."

Attorney Zhang politely extended his hand and said.

Zhao Huaguang's face immediately darkened.

He hadn't expected that he would meet the lawyer before even seeing He Mei and Li Haichao...

He was also somewhat incredulous that these poor bastards and country bumpkins would actually hire a lawyer.

……

Zhao Huaguang quickly left Jin Ding Lane with a grim expression.

When faced with a professional lawyer, he was completely baffled.

At the same time, Zhao Huaguang is now beginning to feel that things are getting tricky.

And they began to consider underhanded tactics.

He now knew that he couldn't openly take He Ziqiu away, so he had no choice but to resort to underhanded tactics.

As Zhao Huaguang left, he glanced at Haichao Noodle Shop with a somewhat gloomy look in his eyes.

……

weekend.

The day arrived when Qi Mingyue's mother, Jin Xiangyu, was going to invite Ji Yuan and the other three to dinner.

A private room in a fairly large restaurant.

Ji Yuan and his three companions, along with Qi Mingyue and her daughter, sat around a table.

“My Mingyue always mentions you to me. I’ve been wanting to invite you to a meal for a long time, but I’ve been too busy to have the chance.”

Jin Xiangyu said with a smile.

"Thank you auntie."

Li Jianjian thanked her happily first.

Jin Xiangyu smiled and said, "No need to thank me..."

Qi Mingyue looked at the menu and was caught in a dilemma.

She actually has a bit of an indecisiveness.

It wasn't because of myself, but because of family reasons, that it gradually developed.

For example, when she's out and about and wants to order a dish, after she's made her selection, she'll be told why it's always the same few dishes, and then her mother will change it for her.

Another example is buying clothes. She chooses what she likes, but her mother says it doesn't suit her and insists on choosing it for her herself. After choosing, her mother asks her if she likes it. What can she say? She can only say it's fine.

But even after I say it's okay, I still get nagged for being too indecisive.

Qi Mingyue is sometimes speechless, but she doesn't dare to talk back to her own mother.

Many parents are like this: when they give their children choices, the children make the choices, but then they don't listen to the children's opinions.

Gradually, when children constantly say "it's okay," people start to say that their children lack initiative.
