Chapter 210 is a bit pitiful.

Tian Lei's mother is indeed overthinking things.

Her original plan was to take Xiao Tiantian away as well, which would make it easier for people to think that it was done by those people that Secretary Lei had offended.

Tian Lei's mother even initially considered getting rid of Xiao Tiantian directly.

Before, when that little thing was staying at Yao Shula's house, it couldn't find any opportunities at all. No matter where it went, that little thing always had someone by its side.

Now that little guy is in elementary school, there are plenty of opportunities on his way to and from school!

However, if Xiaotian is taken away separately, it's easy for people to implicate their own daughter.

It's believed that the stepmother couldn't tolerate the child...

But what if Tian Lei's child also gets lost?

Then Tian Lei went from being a suspect to a victim.

Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?

However, Tian Lei's mother didn't say these things in front of Tian Lei, because if she did, her timid daughter would definitely disagree.

She was already frightened by the old man of the Lei family.

"Xiao Lei, I'm doing this all for your own good. You should think it over carefully and not keep blindly following the same path and narrowing your own future," Tian Lei's mother reminded her again.

Tian Lei's mind was in turmoil; her brain was a complete mess, and she just nodded no matter what her mother said.

However, she still asked a question.

"Can you really find Tian Mi a good family to marry into?"

"What are you saying? This isn't my own granddaughter! We tell outsiders that the child was stolen, but we're actually raising her elsewhere."

Once things have calmed down, you can still sneak off to see her; it's not like you're sending her to some remote mountain forest.

Don't worry, I already have someone in my heart, and now I'm just looking for a good opportunity.

The baby will be 100 days old in a little over a month! You should give the baby a proper celebration, and let your husband hold the baby more often during this time.

The more he loves children now, the more heartbroken he will be when he loses one!

"Listen to me, you won't go wrong!" Tian Lei's mother whispered.

Tian Lei nodded, then stood up while holding the child.

"Mom, let me see you out! Tiantian should be back in a little while. Tomorrow is Lao Lei's birthday, and he'll definitely be staying at home."

Don't let him see you!

Tian Lei's mother nodded and stood up as well.

The two went out together. Xiao Tiantian, who had been pressing her face against the door, listened to the sound of the door closing and then there was no more sound. Only then did she let out a long sigh of relief.

Xiao Tiantian continued to sit cross-legged on the ground, thinking about what she had just heard.

Are these things really true?

In order to have a boy, they actually wanted to give away their newborn baby to someone else and lie to the father, saying that the child was stolen because the father had offended someone.

Dad... he's really quite pitiful!

This time, Xiaotian really felt sorry for her father.

At that moment, Xiaotian pinched her arm to calm herself down.

My older sister said that no matter what happens, you must stay calm, keep a clear head, and not panic!

What they just said...

Should I tell my dad after he gets off work?

No! Even if I told them, they definitely wouldn't admit it.

What I need to do now is... tell my older sister about it as soon as possible!

Xiao Tiantian instinctively reached for his schoolbag and headed back to Yao Shula's house...

As soon as Xiaotian opened the door, something occurred to her...

I can't leave! Aunt Li knows I'm back. If I leave now, what if she lets something slip to my stepmother?

That won't do; it will definitely alert the enemy.

Just then, Aunt Li returned with the braised food, and Xiao Tiantian took his toys and sat down on the sofa in the living room to play.

...

Twenty minutes later, Tian Lei returned carrying the child. Seeing Xiao Tiantian sitting on the sofa, she quickly smiled and asked, "When did Tiantian get back?"

"I just got back a little while ago! What? Do you think I came back too early?" Xiao Tiantian asked immediately.

Tian Lei quickly smiled and was about to say that she didn't mean it that way when Xiao Tiantian had already run to the kitchen to talk to Aunt Li.

"Auntie, what are you making for dinner?"

"Your dad told me that you like to eat pork ribs, braised! And steamed eggs with minced meat, that's also one of your favorites."

"Smoked chicken is one of your favorites, eat more tonight!" Aunt Li said with a smile.

Little Tiantian nodded immediately, then praised Aunt Li for making increasingly delicious food.

Aunt Li was amused and immediately and secretly stuffed a smoked chicken leg into Xiao Tiantian's mouth.

...

Xiao Tiantian is back; Secretary Lei finally returned home at his usual off-get off work time.

Secretary Lei was in good spirits after seeing his son, whom he hadn't seen for two weeks.

He was recently dismissed from his positions as secretary of two townships, which puts him under considerable pressure. In addition, some people are laughing at him behind his back, and he hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.

If these things had happened in the past... it would have been a simple phone call from the Lei family.

But now...

After putting down his briefcase, Secretary Lei picked up Xiao Tiantian.

Sensing that Xiao Tiantian was handling things a little more heavily than before, Secretary Lei finally smiled a little more.

"Tian Tian, ​​are you doing well at school?"

“Great! Hello teacher, hello classmates, everything is great!” Xiao Tiantian said immediately.

Secretary Lei glanced again at Xiao Tiantian's little schoolbag on the sofa.

"Why aren't you carrying the backpack you brought from Shanghai?" Secretary Lei asked with a smile.

Little Tiantian chuckled and struggled to get down from Secretary Lei's arms, then took his little schoolbag and presented it to Secretary Lei.

"No other student has that backpack, so if I carry it... that's not good!"

My older sister said that at school, you should get along well with your classmates and not be treated differently.

Just like how Dad mingled with the masses, we can't be treated specially.

"But my older sister had Grandma Yao embroider words and other patterns on my schoolbag, so it's still the best-looking one among my classmates," Xiao Tiantian said proudly.

Upon hearing this, Secretary Lei took another closer look at the small satchel and smiled when he saw the four characters "天天向上" (meaning "Strive for Progress Every Day") on it.

Yes, your older sister's family treats you very well and is very caring!

"Come on, Tiantian... let's eat!" Secretary Lei said, pulling Tiantian to sit down at the table.

Little Tiantian, however, grabbed his schoolbag and pulled Secretary Lei towards his room.

"Dad, let's eat later, I want to show you something!"

"What are you looking at! Can't you wait until after you finish eating?"

"I have to see it now! Dad, come with me..."

...

From the moment Secretary Lei entered the room, Tian Lei was unable to exchange a single word with him, and her heart sank to the bottom.

Sure enough, he only had eyes for his son.

He says that boys and girls are the same, but doesn't he actually prefer his son?

Mom is right, I need to make some plans for myself.

Tian Lei looked at her daughter, who had already eaten and drunk her fill and fallen asleep...
