“Grandma!” Li Wanqing was in the study, doing embroidery, when Coco and Xiao Xiao rushed in. Their voices were sweet and adorable.
“Oh, Ding Ding, Xiao Xiao is here too,” Li Wanqing took off her glasses and looked at Xiao Xiao with a warm smile. “It’s been a while, and you’ve grown taller.”
“Grandma, I missed you so much,” Xiao Xiao said with a sweet and tender voice that could melt hearts. She ran up and playfully punched Li Wanqing’s leg with her tiny fist, while Coco joined in by giving her a shoulder massage. The two little ones were happily busy.
“You’re such good children,” Li Wanqing said with a smile that couldn’t be contained. “My grandkids, what would you like to eat? Tell Grandma.”
“Grandma, we don’t want to eat anything,” Coco shook his head, looking at Li Wanqing with an earnest face. “We have a request, can we?”
Li Wanqing was taken aback. These two little ones were so polite, they must want something from her.
“Tell me, and let’s see if Grandma can help.”
“Grandma, I don’t want to see the date when Daddy announces his marriage to Mommy today. 1 want to cancel it. I don’t want Daddy to marry Mommy,” Coco said with determination, his face showing reluctance.
Li Wanqing was surprised. This little guy had brought up this issue again. What was going on? Her own son didn’t like his parents being together!
Shen Mei, as a mother, seemed to be quite a failure in this matter. She must have failed terribly.
“Ding Ding, this is your Daddy’s decision. Your Daddy is already grown up, and Grandma can’t change that,” she sighed and patted his head gently. “Why don’t you want your Daddy and Mommy to be together?”
Suddenly, Xiao Xiao spoke up, “Ding Ding’s Daddy doesn’t like Ding Ding’s Mommy, and Ding Ding’s Mommy doesn’t love Daddy.”
Li Wanqing was stunned. She said, “Xiao Xiao, you shouldn’t say such things. Your Daddy and Mommy are happily living together. But Ding Ding’s Daddy and Mommy can’t be together unless they get married. Ding Ding’s situation is different from yours. Children should not speculate about adult matters, understand? It’s not right.”
Xiao Xiao’s eyes welled up with tears, and she lowered her head. “Grandma, I’m just like Ding Ding. I’m even worse. I only have Mommy. I’ve never seen Daddy, and now that I’ve found him, Daddy doesn’t love me.”
Li Wanqing was taken aback and immediately picked up Xiao Xiao. “I’m sorry, Xiao Xiao. Grandma didn’t know about your situation. I shouldn’t have said that to you. If you ever need Grandma’s help, you can talk to me.”
“Thank you, Grandma.” Xiao Xiao leaned into Li Wanqing’s embrace, sighing deeply.
Perhaps talking wouldn’t make a difference. Daddy really didn’t love her Mommy. She had to find a way to make Daddy fall in love with Mommy!
Li Wanqing glanced outside the window at the young men and women celebrating downstairs and shook her head.
She had strongly disapproved of the party that Shen Mei had organized for her birthday. It was too noisy for her liking, so she had chosen to hide upstairs and do some embroidery.
The Li family, despite being the wealthiest, had always valued frugality and discretion. She couldn’t stand Shen Mei, who was so ostentatious and extravagant. Even with her own children, she couldn’t take proper care of them. Li Wanqing genuinely disliked her.
But her son liked her, and since Shen Mei had also given birth to a pair of twins, she had to turn a blind eye to Shen Mei’s extravagance.
Downstairs,
Shen Ning was busy making coffee for the guests when her phone rang.
She checked her phone and saw that it was Uncle Mali calling, so she immediately answered.
At the moment, Uncle Mali was still unaware that Shen Ning had been pressured into signing the contract with the Lan Feiyun and Shen Mei. She dared not tell him, as he would surely be furious.
“Shen Ning, who allowed you to make a call?” Shen Mei stormed over, her anger evident in her voice, as she scolded Shen Ning loudly.
Shen Ning had no choice but to hang up the phone and walk towards the coffee pot..
