âMummy.â Qiao Mo Shang wrapped his arms around Ning Meng Yaoâs neck tightly before uttering after some time: âBad.â
âMe? Bad? Then I wonât take you to see your little brother next time, and I wonât let you play with him.â
âDi Di.â
Ning Meng Yaoâs face darkened: âNot Di Di, little brother.â
âMummy, Di Di.â
Ning Meng Yao looked at her son in frustration and said helplessly: âLittle brother is sleeping now. When he grows big, he can play with you, Little Monkey.â
âPlay.â
Old Hei looked at the well-behaved Little Monkey in Ning Meng Yaoâs arms, he felt a sense of envy and jealousy.
This guy had to torment people when he was jealous, so Qing Shuang and her husband became his devastating targets. He kept pestering them about wanting a grandson and the two now hid away from him whenever they saw him.
âMiss, Chen Qi said he wants to see you.â Qing Huai approached Ning Meng Yao and whispered to her.
Ning Meng Yao nodded, âAlright, Iâll be right there.â
âYes.â
Ning Meng Yao put her son in Qiao Mo Fengâs arms, âFengâer, look after your little brother. Take him out to have a stroll, but donât let him pluck the flowers.â The flowers were all grown by Qiao Tian Chang, but they were plucked bald by Qiao Mo Shang. Seeing them broke Ning Meng Yaoâs heart.
After the incident with Nangong Yan, Qiao Tian Chang had gone to the capital, and had not returned yet. He did not tell her the reason why he went there, and she did not ask him.
âI got it, Mother.â
âLittle Monkey, you must listen to your brother, okay? If I find out that you bully your brother, I wonât give you nice snacks later, understand?â
âMummy... Bad...â Qiao Mo Shang turned his head, facing Qiao Mo Fengâs arms, and let his mother stare at his little butt in dissatisfaction.
Ning Meng Yao squeezed Qiao Mo Shangâs cheeks. Then, she got up and left.
âI will give you snacks to eat, so you mustnât make a racket, okay?â
Qiao Mo Fengâs life was very fulfilling these days. He liked this place. He studied with the children in the village every day and learned martial arts with them. When he returned home, he played with his brother for a while and then did his homework. Although most of the time, he did not know where his mother was, Qiao Mo Feng knew that his mother must be still well and alive, and she would come back to him one day.
Ning Meng Yao looked at the haggard Chen Qi and asked faintly, âYou said you want to see me, whatâs the matter?â
âBoss, I want to know how my family feels after not seeing me for such a long time.â Chen Qi had been thinking about this question for more than a month, were all his contributions to his family meant nothing this whole time?
Ning Meng Yao looked at Chen Qi unexpectedly. She could see an obvious epiphany from his expression. It seemed that this person was not stupid and hopeless.
âYou want to know? Would you like to go back and see? But this time, donât bring anything back, not even money. Qing Huai has not been to your home for a month. When you returned, tell your family that you were kicked out from the workshop because I found out that you have been stealing from the workshop, and I did not even pay you for this month. Then, you can see how they treat you.â Ning Meng Yao suggested. She wanted him to see his familyâs true colors.
Chen Qi was silent for a moment, then he nodded: âI understand.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although this method was a bit immoral, it was the best way to show his familyâs true colors. Chen Qi still trusted and had faith in his mother and his wife. Perhaps Boss was just lying to him.
Ning Meng Yao stood at the gate of the workshop and watched Chen Qi leave. Qing Huai stood at the side, and asked doubtfully: âMiss, will Chen Qi really return after settling his things?â
âHe will. The people in his family are a special sort. If they knew that he had no way to make money anymore, and that he may even cause them to go to prison, what do you think his family would do?â Those people were just selfish and greedy people. It would simply be a miracle if his family would care about him knowing his current state.
Qing Huaiâs eyes flashed slightly when he thought about what happened when he went to Chen Qiâs house.
Just as Miss said, it was possible that Chen Qiâs family would really leave him.
After two hours, Chen Qi stood in front of his house with his face pale.
When his family saw him, his mother quickly ran out: âSon, youâre back! Where the heck did you go all this time, why didnât you come back?â
