“Uuhh Wahhh!”
Ye Ying’s hand didn’t even touch the boy yet when Bai Xiachen burst into tears. In front of this heartfelt appearance, no sane person could possibly bear to remain indifferent.
I really don’t understand why someone would be willing to move against such a lovely child?
This is truly and utterly heartless!
“You little!” The girl’s inner heart surged with anger as she forced herself to smile: “I think you must be misunderstanding something, I only want to take you to a quieter place to talk. After all, there are many people around so it wouldn’t be good if they misunderstand you.”
“No, I won’t go with you. If I go with you then I will never see my mother again.” Climbing up from the ground, Bai Xiachen cranks up the tearful appearance to a whole new level.
“Aunties, uncles, big brother and big sisters, please don’t let her take me away, I don’t want to be a child ****.”
Now that’s all the crowd needed to push them over the edge. They’ve long felt uncomfortable to witness a child being forced into something so illicit, yet the boy himself still felt the need to remain polite in his manner of speech.
“I remembered now,” a bystander suddenly exclaims from the side, “the evaluation of Miss Ye Ying may be excellent over the years, but there has never been any woman around her. The people are always males and she seem to be very much enjoying the fact.”
“Yes, and… if it was replaced by the average person, they would certainly have a change in face after being exposed by the little guy. The fact that she’s still able to smile so willingly must mean she’s a very deep thoughted woman.”
To be able to attend the alchemy convention meant they are no fools. Just a bit of hint and a bit of insight was more than enough to connect the dots for those in attendance. Of course, it would’ve been a different story if the character here was the lady of the Medicine Sect, but it’s not!
Ye Ying’s only a distant relative of the current old lord. Even if they do reprimand her, the hosts themselves wouldn’t do anything, especially when this said relative was the unsupportive type whose done nothing to contribute aside from leaching around.
Now, no longer able to keep up that smiling façade, the woman turns bitter and signals her follower to move and grab the impudent brat before more damages could be done. Unfortunately for her, a third person had rushed over to cut into the fray in that split second.
Hugging the baby boy: “Oh my poor Xiachen, Uncle here is so useless, I couldn’t protect you and your mother.”
“Uncle, how come you are here?” Still leaking tears of pity on that face, Bai Xiachen sounded nervous with unease: “Didn’t I tell you not to come? If you are also taken away by this horrible witch then Mother really would be all alone then.”
Showing a resentful and enraged face, Mo Li Shang looked like a determined warrior ready to meet his end: “I would rather die than to go with this old witch. You must do the same my dear Xiachen. Don’t worry, if anything our family can start over in the afterlife. I will never leave sister or you okay!”
