Chapter 228: Chapter 228 Foodies Will Never Be Sad Chapter 228: Chapter 228 Foodies Will Never Be Sad Tian Miaoke, completely ignored, felt such intense envy her eyes could practically bleed.
The Rose Bracelet had clearly cost a considerable sum at the auction, yet in front of his Princess, the Prince claimed that the bracelet was very cheap.
The string bracelet, so utterly ordinary, seemed to become more precious than the Rose Bracelet simply because his Princess had spoken a load of blessings over it.
Now Tian Miaoke had no doubts; she was his Princess, not his sister, and she had no chance at all, not even a disliked existence.
Tian Miaoke wiped away a tear and tugged at her dad’s sleeve, “Daddy, hug.”
She stretched out her arms, tears still hanging in her eyes, looking pitifully adorable.
The man, moved by his daughter’s distress, looked at her with eyes full of tenderness, bent down to lift her into his arms, nodded to Director Hua, and left.
Little Taotie looked at them, her eyes brimming with envy, her head hung low, her beautiful eyes dull and listless.
It seemed if one were too tired to walk, all it took was reaching out with both arms to be lifted by one’s father.
Little Taotie thought of the man at the police station, who claimed to be her biological father with such conviction, which made her feel even more despondent.
It was she who had rejected them, unwilling to stay in their home, so it was only natural for them not to visit her.
But still… her heart ached.
Her hand was suddenly held by a warm one; turning her head, she met Hua Jinyan’s gently rising smile, “Let’s go home, I brought a lot of delicious food for you!”
Delicious food! At the mention of these three words, who needed a dad or a hug!
What sorrow is there that a foodie can’t eat their way out of?
If one serving of delicious food isn’t enough, then have two, three, four… a hundred!
The feeling of fullness brings happiness!
Happiness dispels all unpleasantness!
So, can foodies be sad? No!
Little Taotie grinned, gripping Hua Jinyan’s hand tightly, nodding vigorously, and declared loudly, “Let’s go, we’re going home!”
Director Hua handed over a suitcase to Cheng Guodong with an apologetic smile, “Sorry for the trouble, I’m entrusting Jinyan to you all!”
Cheng Guodong was speechless but took the suitcase all the same.
Director Hua waved a hand, “I’m off to the film studio now, bye!”
Qin Xin’s mouth twitched, “Is your place a daycare center?”
Cheng Guodong palmed his forehead, “Maybe it is.”
“That kid isn’t too bad, though,” Qin Xin said, glancing at the boy holding his sister’s hand and beaming foolishly.
Cheng Guodong couldn’t bear to look at the two overly affectionate children and snorted, “If he dares to make my sister cry, I’ll snap him in half!”
Qin Xin shivered, “You’re really brutal!”
Cheng Guodong narrowed his eyes toward Hua Jinyan’s direction, “My sister is so adorable, how could she possibly be defeated by some misfortune from heaven? If my sister is crying in a corner, it must be because that brat is blind or he can’t keep his third leg in check! If I don’t snap him in half, would I leave him to bring disaster upon my sister?”
“You’re talking about going to jail,” Qin Xin patted his shoulder, “You have to abide by the law.”
Before Cheng Guodong could retort, Qin Xin lowered his voice, “These kinds of things should look like an accident. Like falling from a horse and happening to hit the ground hard, or a dog being too playful and biting where it shouldn’t…”
“Why get your own hands dirty?” Qin Xin winked, “Right, big brother?”
Cheng Guodong: “…” The real schemer is the second brother!
Arriving at Cheng Guodong’s place, he found a lineup of people standing at the door.
Tao Mo, Tian Leran, Tao Tiancheng, Liu Mingzhu, Tao Shen, Tao Bin–all were there without exception!
No one knew how long the Tao Family had been waiting there, as even the old patriarch’s nose had turned red with the cold.
