Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife Chapter 1515 - 1516: One Thing Subdues Another

When speaking of Mother Qi's greatest vulnerability these days, it's none other than her fresh newborn grandson, Xiao Qi.

Though she harbors displeasure toward Cheng Su and discontent with the name they've picked, the instant Father Qi issued his threat, Mother Qi's expression shifted dramatically, and she wavered.

Through repeated clashes, she's realized her daughter-in-law's nature: unyielding, resolute, fully capable of carrying out Father Qi's warning—holding onto the grandson without returning him or allowing her visits. That's precisely the kind of move she could execute.

Still, with the daughter-in-law absent at that moment, Mother Qi puts on a bold front and declares, "I dare her to! He’s the eldest grandson of the Qi family!"

Father Qi sees right through her facade and remains silent.

Growing uneasy, Mother Qi adds, "Tomorrow, I'll consult Granny Mi to check the name's suitability; if it doesn't fit, we must change it. A child's name isn't something to take lightly!"

Qi Fengping chuckled inwardly, her mother had been rattled by her father's words—truly, this eldest nephew could keep her mom in check!

Mother Qi is genuinely terrified; she's truly worried Cheng Su might intentionally bar her from seeing the baby—wouldn't that leave her pining away? Weighing the name against visiting the grandson is like pitting sesame seeds against a watermelon; she'd never choose the tiny seeds over the massive fruit.

Privately, Father Qi told Qi Fengping, "Your mom's obstinacy must be tamed; we can't keep spoiling it."

Qi Fengping responded, "I believe Mom's perfect remedy is Xiao Qi. Dad, going forward, whatever the issue, just mention Xiao Qi, and Mom will surely yield."

Father Qi concurs, "Finally, someone has emerged who can manage your mom!"

The proverb "every force meets its match" holds true; previously, no one could curb Mother Qi, but now, a mere reference to the grandson forces her retreat.

Qi Fengping smiles.

"It's not meant to hurt your mom's feelings, yet as she ages, her actions grow harder to fathom. Our household improves daily, and harmony is the key to lasting fortune—I can't bear constant family strife." Father Qi sighed. "Your sister-in-law is wise and kind-hearted; since joining our family, she's wronged us Qi none, rather, we've reaped endless gains. That includes your sister and little brother—it's mainly you..."

Qi Fengping's smile dims a bit as she presses her lips together.

She grasps her father's implication; owing to her own circumstances, Cheng Su had offered real aid.

"Dad, I haven't forgotten—I won't overlook sister-in-law's kindness." Qi Fengping assures him.

Father Qi replies, "Pingping, gratitude and satisfaction are essential; your sister-in-law doesn't leverage debts, but we must discern right from wrong. The family's thriving now, and I wish it endures forever!"

With the lineage-preserving grandson arrived, should he rise to glory later, even in death, Father Qi could face the ancestors proudly.

"It surely will—now with your grandson, simply bask in the good fortune!" Qi Fengping offers in praise.

Father Qi lights up at her words: "I'm relishing the blessings already!" Gazing at his younger daughter, he continues, "No concerns left; Jianguo’s in university, bound for success. For you, should university elude you this round, secure a job, wed well—it's equally fine. It's your elder sister that worries me, raising two kids with Xiao Bao still so young."

He thought he comprehended before, yet Father Qi can't help fretting, anxious that Qi Fenglian might endure hardships.

"Dad, no need to fret—fate unfolds for all; in due time, elder sister might encounter a fine husband once more!" Qi Fengping consoles.

Father Qi nods, yearning for exactly that.
