Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Tao Ti Misses Grandpa Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Tao Ti Misses Grandpa Cheng Guodong couldn’t stop the old man’s reckless words in time. Just as Tao Ti had slowly started to forget her sorrow, she suddenly snapped back to reality, her eyes widening, her round pupils instantly misted over, and the corners of her eyes reddened.
“Wuu wuu…” Tao Ti lowered her head, making whimpering sounds like a little beast.
The little girl kept her head down while tears, large as pearls with broken strings, fell heavily. She didn’t dare to cry loudly, as if severely holding herself back. Yet, the quieter her sobs were, the more heartbreaking it became.
Tian Leran angrily stomped on Tao Mo’s foot with all her strength.
Tao Mo winced from the pain, but didn’t dare to utter a sound and lowered his head in admission of guilt.
Hearing the crying, Liu Mingzhu rushed over with a fairy tale book, and upon seeing her daughter cry, threw the book aside, picked her up, and soothed her, “Don’t cry, my good baby, don’t cry, don’t be sad. Let’s go back to the room and listen to a story, shall I tell you a story…”
Liu Mingzhu’s voice was very gentle, like a stream flowing in the spring breeze. Little Taotie subconsciously nestled into her embrace, “I am a child without a grandfather now…”
The only person who loved her was also gone.
Had Grandpa been reincarnated yet?
I miss Grandpa so much…
Unable to hold back her tears, Little Taotie cried harder and harder, her small body trembling.
Liu Mingzhu looked down at her daughter in her arms, whose nose and eyes were red, overwhelmed with heartache, and carried her back to the room.
Although she did not know who had made her sad, it must have been someone here. Liu Mingzhu turned back with a fierce glare, sweeping her eyes over everyone present.
My daughter-in-law is formidable! She even dared to glare at me! Ah well, let it go. Who asked me to be at fault? If she glares, let her glare!
Lying on the bed, Little Taotie looked up at the starry sky on the ceiling and the slowly swinging dreamcatcher, feeling a slow calm settle in, though the tears still flowed.
Liu Mingzhu wiped the tears from her corners of her eyes, but no sooner had she done so when the tears flowed again.
Tao Ti was different from any other child she had interacted with. Tao Shen didn’t like to cry when he was little. If he was upset, he would definitely find a way to retaliate. Being a Scorpio boy, he had a strong sense of revenge and would never allow himself to be wronged, and so he was the least worry of all.
Tao Bin was different, often sick in his childhood, always crying due to illnesses. Later, after going to Shaolin Temple, his body improved and he became wilder and stopped crying.
Tao Yinyin loved to cry and make a fuss, and would even fake cry to achieve her goals, resorting to crying and rolling on the ground. Stopping her tantrums required fulfilling her wishes, otherwise there would be trouble.
Tao Ti, on the other hand, was different. Her crying was silent, and she struggled to restrain herself, her little face turning red yet reluctant to make a sound, barely letting out a sob or two. Her crying was pitiful, tugging at one’s heartstrings, making one want to cry with her.
Liu Mingzhu’s nose tingled as she laid down on the bed, turned to her side, and hugged her child tightly, kissing her forehead, “Baby, stop crying. If you keep crying, Mommy will want to cry too.”
Tao Ti was immersed in her own sorrow and didn’t pay attention to her title.
“Stop crying, okay? Good child, don’t cry anymore…”
The soft crying sound continued by her ear. Hearing the crying as if zoned out, Little Taotie’s ears twitched and his dark pupils brightened faintly. Vaguely turning her head, she faced a beautiful and gentle face with tears.
“Aunt Mingzhu? Why are you crying?”
Little Taotie hurriedly used her small hands to wipe the tears on her face, coaxing her: “Don’t cry, I’ve wiped your tears away. Don’t cry anymore, crying too much will make you ugly, your eyes will turn into those of a red monster…”
