Amid his motherâs dumbfoundedness, the boy started to grumble, âMommy, I donât understand how you could be so courteous to her still. A b*tch like herââ
He stopped suddenly, covered his mouth with his hand upon his realization of his poor manners, and hastily apologized, âOh, this wonât do! I mustnât swear; I have to be prim and proper.â
âPfft!â
The woman burst out laughing.
âWhatâs so funny?â The boy gave his mother a scornful look.
Yun Shishi could not suppress her curiosity. âWhat did you want to say?â
âWhat I wanted to say is, you should be rough with a bad woman like her! Thereâs no need to be merciful at all,â replied the lad.
âEh, Iâll remember that!â She could not help caressing her sonâs small head as she smiled at him indulgently. âYouyou, youâre really my knight in shining armor.â
âThat goes without saying! Of course, Iâm your knight in shining armor.â Cocking a brow, the lad felt smug. âIâm the first to disallow anyone who tries to bully you.â
âStill, how did you learn about the Rong familyâs demise?â
The boy snorted. âItâs easy to find that kinda information with a simple check.â
âI was still wondering why sheâs adamant on pestering us, so it turned out that sheâs doing it for her family.â
Her son replied, âNo powers are big enough to save that family, nor do I want to be implicated in their mess. The Rongs are struggling to hold on, hoping for a silver lining, but itâs all in vain. It isnât going to get better for them! Sooner or later, the family will declare bankruptcy.â
She listened in confusion; all she knew was that the Rongs were sinking and without hope!
âMommy, donât let a bad woman spoil your mood. Youâre out to have fun and be happy. Câmon and give me a smile!â
The mother-son pair looked at each other and smiled. The woman, especially, broke into a charming and moving smile when she heard her sonâs words, her eyes arching merrily.
When they arrived at the location, Yun Shishi got out of the car with Youyou in her arms. The man walked over to them for apparent reason. The other woman had already called him to complain, but he did not blame his younger son and, instead, smiled dotingly at him.
âWhat exactly happened earlier?â
The younger boy was the first to stand up and righteously accused, âThat bad woman bullied mommy; I couldnât stand it, so I asked someone to throw her out of the car!â
His father narrowed his eyes and stared penetratingly at him. Just when he thought that his father would scold him, he saw the man smile warmly at him, instead, and heard him say with relief, âWell done!â
Standing at the side, his older brother laughed. Trying to hold back his guffaw, he asked, âEarlier, in the car, that bad woman called daddy and complained that mommy had bullied her. Mommy, do you know what daddy said?â
âHmm? What did he say?â The woman glanced at her husband and was rather curious on how the man expressed his stand at that time.
Her older son supplied, âDaddy told her that she deserved it! Hahaha!â
Youyou nodded approvingly and praised his father in a serious voice, âDaddy did well!â
His sibling gleefully described the scene he observed while dancing around, âDid you know how much that woman had cried over the phone? Itâs enough to shake the heavens and earth! In my heart, I was thinking that she deserved it! She deserved to be thrown out of the car because she bullied mommy!â
He could not help teasing his brother, âMu Yichen, youâve grown up finally. The idioms are rolling off your tongue!â
His brother blinked at him mischievously and replied, âYes! Iâve been well trained by you!â
Well-trained...
Their mother had to cover her face in shame.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Isnât that term rather misleading?
