“Grandma says you have to drink water when you come back and have some dessert, or you can’t go back to your room.” Shen Mei forcefully grabbed his arm and seated him at the dining table.
Coco immediately felt pain in his shoulder!
At this moment, Butler Luo brought in some desserts and snacks.
In the past, Coco would happily eat these treats, but today he had no appetite at all.
“Butler Luo, I’ll take care of things here. You can go check the flower beds in the backyard, tidy them up a bit. Young Master mentioned it yesterday, saying that there will be a party at home in a while,” Shen Mei instructed Butler Luo as he walked by.
Butler Luo acknowledged and left.
“Ding Ding, let me ask you, have you met any other women recently? For example, someone around Mommy’s age?” Shen Mei asked tentatively.
Coco looked up at her with her bright red lips and shook his head.
“I heard you don’t like it when Daddy and Mommy get married. What’s the reason?” she continued. “Mommy raised you, and yet you don’t want Daddy and Mommy to be together. Don’t you want a family?”
Coco finally understood.
So, this ugly witch was wary of him because of this.
He deliberately scooped up a spoonful of cake and put it in his mouth, smashed it down, and suddenly stood up with a pained expression. “I’m thirsty; I want water.”
He wanted to take this opportunity to slip away; otherwise, he had no idea what this ugly witch might do!
“Sit down, I’ll pour it for you.” But Shen Mei had no intention of letting him go. She pushed him down hard and turned to get a glass of water from the water dispenser.
“Here, drink up.”
She placed the glass of water by Coco’s mouth.
Coco didn’t know it was hot water and reluctantly opened his mouth to take a sip.
“Air.” In an instant, he was scalded and screamed, sticking out his tongue, spitting out all the hot water, which happened to land on his own feet, causing his feet to shake and jump.
Shen Mei sneered.
But before her smirk could fade, Coco, who had bounced up, accidentally collided with the glass of water in her hand. Her face turned pale.
She hadn’t reacted yet.
The agile Coco raised his hand and pushed the hot water heavily, splashing it all over her.
The scalding hot water spilled onto her hands and feet.
“Ah!” Shen Mei was scalded and screamed repeatedly.
The backs of her hands and the tops of her feet, with red nail polish, turned red instantly. The water bottle fell to the ground, and she was in agony.
At that moment, Li Zhenting walked in through the front door with a briefcase.
Shen Mei had sharp eyes and immediately saw him. She covered her feet in pain, sat on the ground, and whimpered.
“What happened?” Li Zhenting’s face changed as he hurried over.
“Zhenting, I was taking care of Ding Ding and giving him afternoon tea. He wanted water, so I poured him a glass. I didn’t expect that he would splash the hot water on my hands and feet.” Shen Mei’s eyes were filled with tears, and she answered softly with a grievance.
Li Zhenting furrowed his brows and looked at Coco. “Ding Ding, why did you do this?”
Ding Ding’s increasing hostility towards Shen Mei had become more and more evident during this period. It gave him a headache, and the nature of this matter was becoming quite serious.
Coco looked at Li Zhenting, who unquestioningly believed her words, with indignation. His tongue was both painful and numb, and he shed tears of distress as he turned away.
“Forget it, he’s just a child. It should have been an accident. It’s my fault for not taking care of him,” Shen Mei said hypocritically.
Coco became even more angry when she said this. She had completely shifted the blame onto him.. An adult could be so calculating towards a child; it was shameless!
