Shen Mei had snatched the kettle and was about to throw it away when Shen Ning, in pain, lifted her foot, causing Shen Mei to lose her balance, and the kettle fell.
“All, it hurts so much!” She suddenly screamed in pain, clutching her foot.
Although the kettle hadn’t boiled yet, it was still quite hot, and it splashed all over her feet.
“What happened?” Li Zhenting was playing with Lan Lan and Ding Ding and didn’t notice this side. When he heard the scream and turned around, he saw Shen Mei clutching her feet in apparent agony, furrowing his brow.
“Zhenting, Sister burned me with boiling water,” Shen Mei looked at him tearfully, her expression full of grievance.
Li Zhenting stood up, frowning as he glanced at Shen Ning.
Shen Ning retorted coldly, “1 didn’t do anything. She pushed me with her foot, and I just lifted mine. It’s not my fault she couldn’t keep her balance.” “Nonsense! I was about to boil water for my son, and you used your foot to push me. Oh, it hurts so much,” she cried out in pain, tears streaming down her face. She then turned to Shen Ning, looking pitiful, and said, “Sister, I know you don’t like me, and 1 may have been a bit strict with my demands. But 1 didn’t mean to make things difficult for you. After all, Ding Ding is my only son. I understand him well. He’s had digestive problems since he was little and never eats randomly. In the past, he either had me or a high-level nanny by his side, and everything he ate had to be approved by me. I saw that you didn’t seem to understand anything, and I was worried. 1 spoke a bit too fast, but I absolutely had good intentions. It wasn’t directed at you.”
After speaking, she looked at Li Zhenting, tears streaming down her face, and said, “Zhenting, I’m Ding Ding’s mother, and 1 also have the right to care for our son. 1 don’t oppose you getting him a psychologist, but 1 also have a responsibility to give some guidance, don’t 1?”
As she continued, she cried even harder, her grievances pouring out.
Li Zhenting furrowed his brows tightly, setting Lan Lan down and walking over to Shen Mei. He bent down, picked her up, and placed her on the bed. He examined her feet, which were fair and had turned quite red.
Immediately, he called for a doctor who prescribed some medication for the burns and treated her wounds.
After a while, Li Zhenting suggested that Shen Mei take Lan Lan home. However, Shen Mei was reluctant and insisted on taking care of Ding Ding personally, not trusting anyone else.
Li Zhenting found himself in a bit of a dilemma. If he forced Shen Mei to leave, it was true that Ding Ding was her son, and he couldn’t separate a mother from her child. However, anyone with common sense could see that Shen Ning and Shen Mei had a hostile relationship, and they were engaged in a power struggle, which wasn’t good for the child.
“Ding Ding, come here, Mommy wants to hug you.” Ever since Shen Mei arrived, Ding Ding had looked visibly downcast, hardly saying a word. He lay in bed, still sickly. Li Zhenting had ordered a hearty lunch to cheer him up, and Shen Mei tried to win him over by reaching out her hands affectionately, trying to be endearing.
However, Ding Ding didn’t even glance at her.
“Ding Ding, there’s so much delicious food here! We have your favorite cola chicken wings, charcoal-grilled oysters, hot dogs, and beef meatballs,” Shen Mei, thinking she knew what Ding Ding liked, continued to tempt him with his favorite treats.
But Ding Ding just looked towards Shen Ning and called out to her, “Auntie, come here, 1 want you.”
The smile on Shen Mei’s face instantly vanished, leaving her standing there awkwardly.
Shen Ning, on the other hand, was filled with anxiety and hesitation, unsure of what to do and remained where she was.
Ding Ding’s actions were becoming more pronounced, and she feared that Shen Mei might become embarrassed and hold a grudge against Ding Ding because of this.
After all, Ding Ding would have to live with her and Li Zhenting in the future.
She suppressed the pain in her heart and forced a smile at Ding Ding, “Ding Ding, your mommy is here. Spend some time with her.”
“No, I don’t want her, 1 only want you,” Ding Ding opposed without hesitation. He sat up and reached out his hands towards her, looking pitifully at her.
Shen Ning’s heart was in agony..
