Chapter 802: Chapter 802: Mom Will Come Later
“So next time, Mr. Butler won’t dislike my mom anymore?” Li Duidui’s thoughts were very clear, always able to grasp the key points. As he spoke, he looked toward the senior butler not far away, his cheeks puffed out like a child sulking and muttered, “Mom said Duidui shouldn’t dislike Mr. Butler just because he isn’t nice to Mom, but Duidui still won’t like Mr. Butler. Because Mom will always be Duidui’s mom. My mom hasn’t done anything to hurt Mr. Butler, so why does Mr. Butler dislike my mom and hurt her?”
Lin Zhiya gently tousled his soft hair, “Yes, Grandma doesn’t know why either. Perhaps sometimes adults like to look at people through colored lenses rather than simply because of who they are, like Duidui does.”
The senior butler stood uneasily in place, his aged face burning with shame. He wanted several times to defend his actions, but his throat felt as though it was stuffed with cotton, and he could not utter a single word, “Madam, young master, I…”
Li Duidui, who knew when to seize an opportunity, looked up with those clear, innocent eyes expectantly at him, “Can Mr. Butler like my mom? My mom is really nice, pretty and likable—lots of people like my mom. Can’t Mr. Butler like my mom too?”
This time, Lin Zhiya quietly watched the senior butler, her gaze as if waiting for him to make a choice.
The butler himself didn’t have much of an issue with Rong Yan, he didn’t dislike Rong Yan as a person, only looking down on her background and thinking she wasn’t a good match for Shengxiao. Now, faced with Li Duidui’s beautiful eyes, he found himself unable to say the word “no”.
He hung his head in shame, apologizing, “Sorry, young master, I was wrong. I will definitely correct this and make sure it doesn’t happen again!”
Li Duidui blinked, not sure if he understood, and stubbornly asked, “Will Mr. Butler like my mom?”
The butler raised his head, meeting his gaze filled with faint hope, his voice hoarse and heavy, “Yes!”
He wasn’t very fond of Miss Rong’s background, but he was quite fond of the young master. Now that the young master had spoken to this extent, he could not promise to like someone instantly, but he would at least try to see Miss Rong with a new perspective.
The beautiful little boy beamed a satisfied smile, “That’s good~ then I will like Mr. Butler too. I like everyone who likes my mom!”
His voice was childlike, but he was protective of Rong Yan through and through.
He liked whoever liked Rong Yan, which meant he had no regard for those who didn’t like her!
The senior butler, who had been with Lin Zhiya for decades, had seen all kinds of people and could not miss the warning hidden in his words. He looked at him somewhat surprised, but only saw his cute, innocent smile, as if there was no other meaning in his words just now.
Having dealt with the person who had spoken ill of Little Demon Rong, Li Duidui immediately turned around, grabbed Lin Zhiya’s sleeve excitedly and said, “Grandma, Mom sent me a message saying she has arrived here and will come to pick me up soon.”
“Yan is coming?” Lin Zhiya said happily and immediately instructed Mr. Butler, “Go, hurry up and have the kitchen prepare dinner. Hmm, let me think… Yan seems to have been working hard lately, tell them to make chicken soup, and prepare some other dishes. Remember to include a spicy boiled beef dish! Also, have them buy a fresh fish to come back with.”
