She looked as though she had a belly full of grievances to express.
So it turns out this is someone’s bird.
What more could he possibly have to say about it?
Ni Yan chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, I know you’ve been wronged. Just wait, Mommy will avenge you."
Is this a call to arms?
Master Du’s brow twitched, and he tried to keep his tone even as he said, "This is your son?"
Before Ni Yan could answer, Duoduo spread his wings, looking ferocious as he scolded, "You little bastard!"
This bird was definitely relying on humans now.
If it had been before today, Duoduo would have been as scared of Master Du as a mouse is of a cat. How could he dare to act this way?
Ni Yan smiled and said, "That’s just the way he is, don’t take it to heart. But tell me, how did you manage to catch him and lock him up?"
The middle-aged uncle realized that Ni Yan’s status was not simple.
Having followed Master Du for so long, apart from Jiaojiao, he had never seen any woman dare to speak to Master Du .
Not even the two mistresses of the household dared to.
"Miss Ni, this has nothing to do with Master Du. Seeing that the myna could talk, and knowing Master Du likes to tease birds, I took it upon myself to catch it. Master Du actually wanted to release it, but I said that birds raised in captivity can’t survive in the wild, and Master Du was afraid it would starve, so..."
Ni Yan nodded, "I see, but you can rest assured. Our Duoduo is free-range, and his survival skills are very strong. He won’t starve even if he isn’t fed for ten days."
Master Du chimed in timely, "Your son is named Duoduo? Well taught."
Ni Yan nodded, "Come, son, let’s greet Master Du."
"You little bastard!"
Ni Yan smiled lightly, "Don’t be fooled by the fact that Duoduo is only a bird, he’s actually very smart and understands human nature."
Master Du: "..." He should curse, he’s blind, he acknowledges it.
He should have realized earlier that Duoduo wasn’t calling for Yangyang ...
Jiaojiao found this amusing, the girl was outright with her insults.
When had the illustrious Master Du of the ten-mile foreign district ever been scolded to his face ?
And yet, the person in question could only swallow the slight.
Jiaojiao smiled radiantly, "Young lady, your son is very handsome. By seniority, he should call me third younger brother. What should he call me?"
Third younger brother?
Ni Yan was taken aback for a moment.
Master Du introduced, "This is my second sister, Jiaojiao."
"Miss Du." Ni Yan wasn’t pretentious, continuing, "My name is Ni Yan. Ni with a man radical, Yan as in ’jade becomes warm and produces smoke under the sun.’"
Jiaojiao replied, "That’s a beautiful name, as beautiful as you are."
"Thank you, Miss Du."
Jiaojiao continued, "I’ve heard from my second brother that you are his savior. If anyone should be thanking, it should be me thanking you. Don’t be so formal with me, I’m a few years older than you, just call me sister."
Ni Yan smiled lightly, "Master Du has already thanked me, Sister Jiaojiao you are too kind."
The girl wasn’t affected or coy, and her forthright personality was very appealing to Jiaojiao.
"Then I’ll call you Yangyang," Jiaojiao said.
Ni Yan nodded, "Okay."
Jiaojiao went on, "How do you feed your bird? He’s so obedient. My third brother also has many birds, and none of them are as well-behaved as Duoduo."
Ni Yan said, "Actually, there’s no secret. I’ve always let him roam free, and over time, he’s become attuned to human nature."
"Oh, is that so," Jiaojiao said, naturally linking arms with Ni Yan, "By the way, Yangyang, you don’t look very old?"
"Nineteen," Ni Yan replied.
Jiaojiao smiled, "No wonder your skin is so good, so white! I’m getting old, old! I feel like an old lady compared to you."
Ni Yan said, "Having good skin is because of choosing the right skin care products, it has nothing to do with age."
"Skin care products?" Jiaojiao frowned slightly, "I use imported skin care products, and they don’t do much. Yangyang, what brand do you use?"
Ni Yan looked up at Jiaojiao and then said, "Sister Jiaojiao, I suppose you have oily skin?"
"What’s oily skin?" Jiaojiao asked.
"Oily skin means that there is an excessive buildup of sebum on the face, causing the pores to become clogged and prone to pimples and acne..."
Before Ni Yan could finish her sentence, Jiaojiao, as if she had found a confidante, eagerly continued, "Yes, yes, yes! Yangyang, you are so right! My skin is prone to acne!"
