Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Ying Bao happily ran around the garden of the Jing family house with a kite. Xu Xiyan sat down beside her grandfather, Jing Huaduo, and poured the old man a cup of tea.
“Have some tea, Grandfather.”
“Mmm.”
Jing Huaduo drank the tea, moving his eyes away from Ying Bao and onto Xu Xiyan.
“How’re things? Is the shoot going well?”
Xu Xiyan would never complain about her troubles. She smiled. “It’s all good. It’s going very well.”
Jing Huaduo did not press her or ask any more questions. He had seen the news that she and a man named Ma Haodong had been involved in a scandal, but he would not interfere with his granddaughter’s affairs.
As long as she did not get involved with the Huo family, he would allow her to see any man she wished.
“Grandfather, has Ying Bao been obedient?” Xu Xiyan asked. “Has she given you any trouble?”
“No. Our little Ying Bao is sensible and well-behaved. She’s just like you when you were a child. She’s curious and loves learning, particularly about herbal medicine. With her by my side, every day is a happy and interesting day.”
Jing Huaduo loved Ying Bao with all his heart, mainly because the little girl was a thoughtful, sensible, and lovable child. It was difficult not to love her.
Ying Bao ran in a large circle around the garden with her kite. When she came back, she saw her mother and happily ran towards her, yelling “Xi Baabyyy!”
“Ying Baaaoo!”
Xu Xiyan stood up and bent over with her arms wide. The little girl flew into Xu Xiyan’s arms like a bird and hugged her tight.
They showered kisses onto each other. Then Xu Xiyan released Ying Bao, holding her little face in her hands. “Let Xi Baby have a look at you. Has our little cutie grown fatter?”
Ying Bao smiled, showing off a row of little white teeth, then pointed at her chubby little face.
“Yes, Xi Baby. Baby has grown more fat! Yesterday, great grandpa weighed me. Baby has grown one kilogram, and it’s all here.”
“Yeah, I see it. You’re so chubby and even more lovable!” Xu Xiyan said affectionately, pinching the little girl’s nose.
After Ying Bao was done playing with her mother, she suddenly turned serious and asked, “Xi Baby, did you get into trouble lately?”
“No, I didn’t!”
Xu Xiyan was surprised. She didn’t know why her daughter would ask such a question.
Ying Bao pouted and ran over to her great-grandfather, picking up his cell phone. She swiped the phone with her little finger, then showed the screen to her mother.
“Xi Baby, don’t lie to me. Baby is not a three-year-old anymore. You were being bullied. They’re all bad people. Baby hates them.”
Ying Bao showed Xu Xiyan a picture of her being splashed with coffee. No wonder the little girl was worried about her.
It was unexpected that the incident had already spread onto the internet in such a short time.
Xu Xiyan took the phone from Ying Bao and carefully checked the article on the forums site. There were already a lot of people following and commenting on the article.
Almost all of them had commented that Xu Xiyan deserved it. Some even said the coffee was nothing, and that it should’ve been acid.
Looking at the long chain of hate comments, Xu Xiyan only clicked her tongue and said nothing. She returned the phone to Jing Huaduo and said, “Grandpa, I’m going to take Ying Bao to my place this afternoon. I’ll bring her back here tomorrow.”
“Sure thing. Go have some fun!” Jing Huaduo chuckled.
Ying Bao clapped her hands in delight and hopped like a rabbit. “Yay! Baby can hang out with Xi Baby again!”
“Yeah, your Orange Mommy is coming, too,” Xu Xiyan said, poking at her cute little nose, “and Uncle Dazhi as well.”
The little girl thought for a moment, then said, “Let’s have steam boat for dinner tonight, okay?”
