Chapter 913: At a Loss

Yuke blinked her large eyes; her father was very agitated.

But she did not quite understand what her father was saying.

If you don't understand, you have to ask: "Dad, swap what children? Do you want me to send someone out and swap for someone else's child to bring back?"

Just saying this, she felt very wronged; tears filled her eyes, ready to roll down at any moment.

"Don't..."

"Don't make trouble, go back to your room." Yu Cheng was impatient.

It was impossible to make things clear to his eldest daughter; if it could be made clear, she would have understood just now.

"Don't swap me, Dad, don't swap me, I'm not going anywhere, I'll just stay at home and keep you company..." Yuke suddenly hugged her father's thigh and started to cry, crying miserably and with immense sorrow.

Yu Cheng:...

He could not handle it, so he looked at his son-in-law.

In the past, when there was a situation like this, his son-in-law would come over to smooth things over, but today he did not.

His son-in-law did not know what he was thinking; he had a thoughtful look, and he did not even notice such a "lively" scene.

In the end, it was his second daughter who smoothed things over.

She whispered in her sister's ear: "Stop crying, the other family likes crying children the most."

Yuke immediately stopped, and obediently went back to her room.

The troublemaker was gone, but the serious business still had to continue.

Yu Cheng was too agitated; he was immersed in his own emotions and could not extricate himself, so naturally, he did not notice that his son-in-law had different thoughts from him!

Shi Youxuan noticed, and even Lao Qi, who was equally agitated, noticed.

She asked: "Brother-in-law, what are your thoughts?"

Gu Zhihao did not make a sound; he had not heard at all.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"

"Huh?"

"Are you calling me?"

Now he heard it.

Shi Youxuan: "Yes, we want to know what you think about this matter?"

"Me? I listen to Dad."

It was true that he liked boys, but to say it righteously—not wanting his own biological child but wanting someone else's—he could not do that.

Yu Cheng waved his hand: "You don't need to ask at all, of course we have to swap the children back. This matter cannot be delayed, we must do it immediately. Xuanxuan, give me Ji Yingjie's phone number, I will call her and talk to her."

Shi Youxuan did not stand on ceremony: "Dad, you are thinking of this matter too simply. If it could be solved by making a phone call, this matter would never have happened."

Yu Cheng was very agitated: "Why can't it be solved? She is in the wrong, her shameful deeds have all been exposed by us, so she should immediately apologize, admit her mistake, and hurry up to send my granddaughter back..."

Everything he said was correct; theoretically, that is indeed what should be done.

But in the affairs of the world, how can there be so many "shoulds"?

Or to put it another way, there are many things that "should" be done, but not everyone will do them!

Standing in one's own position and thinking about problems as a matter of course often cannot solve the problems.

Even Lao Qi could not help but speak up: "It's not that easy, that old woman won't return the child."

Yu Cheng was alert and immediately said: "If she doesn't return the child, Yulong is still my grandson. You cannot take him away, and even less can you acknowledge him!"

Gu Zhihao stood on the same front as his father-in-law: "That's right, Yulong is our family's child, you cannot snatch him away."

Lao Qi actually liked Yulong very much the first time he saw him.

This was his son, his own biological flesh and blood; the bond of blood is thicker than water, and just looking at him brought joy.

But he could only look, not hold.

Because Yu Cheng and Gu Zhihao were always guarding against him, not letting him get close to the child, let alone hold him.

What if the grandson was taken away and the granddaughter didn't come back?

"Rest assured, I am a person who understands the rules and speaks reason. If Meiyin is not brought back, I will not acknowledge Yulong," Lao Qi stated clearly.

"Hmm, it's a deal."

"It's a deal."

The temporary alliance was considered set.

Now they were discussing how to do it so they could swap both children back!

Calling to demand the children definitely would not work.

Doing that would not only fail to get the children back, but would also alert the enemy, and they might not even be able to see them in the future.

They could only use strategy, not force.

But it was impossible to explain clearly to Yu Cheng; he was set on his own logic, firmly believing that with reason, one can travel anywhere under heaven!

Ignoring the obstruction of his second daughter, his son-in-law, and Lao Qi, he insisted on making this call.

"Ji Yingjie, I won't waste words with you. We already know about you swapping my granddaughter. Send the child back, and for the sake of you being Xuanxuan's aunt, I can let bygones be bygones, otherwise..."

"Beep, beep, beep—"

The call was hung up.

"She actually hung up on me? She is in the wrong, watch me scold her to death!"

Yu Cheng angrily called again, but it could no longer get through.

The number was blocked.

And it was not just his number that was blocked; Shi Youxuan and the others' numbers were all blocked too.

"Xuanxuan, what should we do now?" Yu Cheng was at his wit's end and asked his daughter for ideas again.

Shi Youxuan: "I don't have any good ideas for the moment, let's talk about it later." After saying this, she stood up, preparing to leave.

He panicked: "Xuanxuan, don't ignore your father. I admit, I was indeed too impulsive just now. I will listen to you from now on, I'll listen to everything you say."

Shi Youxuan:...

She still had to explain: "Father, I am not angry with you, it's just that there really isn't a better way right now. You don't quite understand my aunt's temperament; she must be fully on guard against us right now."

"I estimate that the Ji Family is currently on high alert, and no one can get in, so we can only wait for an opportunity. Aside from waiting, we have no other options right now."

He still refused to give up.

"What if we sue her? We have evidence in our hands; one lawsuit and it's a sure win. Will she still be able to refuse to obey the verdict then?"

What could everyone say?

They could only say that he was still thinking about the matter too simply.

Sheng Hanyu reminded him with an expressionless face: "The Ji Family does not obey the laws of Jiangzhou, and even the laws of Q Country can do nothing to them."

The Ji Family is a very special existence in Q Country; if the women of the Ji Family were willing, they could even seize the power of Q Country.

Therefore, wanting to use the law to restrain Ji Yingjie is simply impossible.

"Is there really no law that can govern her?" Shi Yucheng was stunned.

Everyone nodded in unison.

Indeed, there is no law that can govern her, so we can only use strategy, not a direct attack!

Shi Yucheng was very agitated, pacing around the room in his agitation: "What to do, what should be done? We can't just let it go in a muddle. We must figure it out; whose child is whose child, it cannot be muddled. This is not something that can be muddled..."

The old man had high blood pressure, and he was prone to getting sick when he became anxious and worked up.

Shi Youxuan comforted him, saying there would definitely be a good way, telling him not to be anxious and to give her some time, as there were so many people discussing it.

After much persuasion, his emotions finally stabilized a little.

But Shi Youxuan knew that her father had a short temper; if she couldn't think of a good solution in a short time, he would still be incredibly anxious.

"Grandpa, play with Bao."

The chubby Yulong walked over on his short legs to pester his grandfather; he was still too young and did not understand that his grandfather's anxiety was caused by him.

He only knew that the adults were only busy talking among themselves and no one was playing with him, so he was unhappy.
