âItâs no different from when I was with my own family. They did not give me money, but perhaps they thought that I didnât have anything to spend it on. âI heard that you used to manage all the assets of the Zhuang family. That was quite clear. Where did all your money go? Didnât you leave a small treasury for yourself?â Cen Shuang suddenly became energetic when she talked about money. She pointed at Zhuang Hong on the bed and said, âDid you give the card and the money to your mother without telling me? You only know how to side with your mother.â
After venting her anger, her mood was much better. She leaned on Zhuang Hongâs chest and whispered, âActually, your mother is not bad.â After saying that, she felt deflated and fell asleep without moving.
Every morning when Cen Shuang woke up, Lan Yibai would come to the room and help her change Zhuang Hongâs clothes. Although she told Cen Shuang to do it, it was obvious that she did not expect her to do it well. âWhy is it purple?â
Lan Yibai frowned as she looked at the mark on her sonâs arm. She felt that she wronged him as a mother. How did she not know that he was injured?.
Cen Shuang looked guilty as she gazed at Zhuang Hong. âI must have accidentally bumped into him.â
âI did not take good care of him.â
âMom, itâs not your fault. I did not take good care of him either.â She had, in fact, pinched him when she was venting her anger.
Lan Yibai had just taken the ointment from the medicine box when Cen Shuang ran over eagerly. âLet me do it. Iâll take better care of Zhuang Hong in the future.â
When she said that, Lan Yibai thought that the child had gotten the hang of it. She handed the ointment to Cen Shuang and prepared to take off Zhuang Hongâs pants. Cen Shuang was so scared that Cen Shuang quickly pushed Lan Yibai aside, afraid that she would see the mark on Zhuang Hongâs thigh. âMom, Iâll do it. Iâll get better at it if I do it a few more times.â
Lan Yibaiâs expression became even more tender. âSchool is starting tomorrow. Letâs go to the mall in the afternoon.â
Lan Yibai took a gold bank card and placed it in her hand. She bent down and left with the basin. Cen Shuang looked at the card in her hand and was slightly stunned. âI was just talking about not having money last night, and I got this card today. Could it be that thereâs a camera in the room?â
In the afternoon, Cen Shuang came back after spending hundreds of thousands of yuan. She displayed the true nature of the young miss to the fullest. She did not lack anything now. She even bought herself two new dresses. At night, Cen Shuang was bold as she lay in bed. She rested her head on Zhuang Hongâs waist, ate a plate of frozen grapes, and said, âYour family is richer than ours. I mean, when the Cen family was rich, they were not as rich as the Zhuang family. When my father was alive, he did not give me this much pocket money. Your mother gave me a card thatâs good for a million yuan. Do you think youâll want me to pay it back later on?â
Cen Shuang crossed her legs and turned to look at the man who could not move. She brought the half-eaten grape skin to Zhuang Hongâs mouth and asked âkindlyâ, âDo you eat grapes?â
After saying that, she put the grape skin on Zhuang Hongâs mouth and smiled. âAlthough you canât eat it, you can smell it.â âSpending your familyâs money and bullying your family is so much fun.â Suddenly, the door opened. She was so scared that she hurriedly put away the grape and pretended to cover Zhuang Hong with a blanket.
âItâs so hot. If you cover him with so many layers, heâll get a prickly rash.â Lan Yibaiâs voice came from behind her.
âMom, youâre here.â
âYouâre starting school tomorrow. I was afraid that you wouldnât be able to rest well, so I poured you a glass of milk.â After saying that, she saw Zhuang Hongâs face and said with a smile, âZhuang Hongâs complexion is much better compared to how it was a few days ago. Even his lips have moistened quite a bit.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Cen Shuang said with guilt in her voice, âIt must be because you took good care of him, Mom.â
âIâm not the only one whoâs taking care of him. You are also very attentive.â Cen Shuang felt guilty after hearing Lan Yibaiâs words. She was just torturing Zhuang Hong a moment ago. Thinking of the card that she had been given, she felt that she should indeed treat Zhuang Hong a little better.
âMom, please take a seat.â Cen Shuang got off the bed and handed over half a plate of cold grapes to Lan Yibai. She smiled and said, âYou eat the grapes.â
âItâs so cold. Girls should not stay up so late. Let the chauffeur drop you off tomorrow. If thereâs anything else you need,?you can tell me. Apart from Zhuang Hong, the Zhuang family wonât let you down.â Lan Yibaiâs gaze landed on Zhuang Hong on the bed. When would her son wake up? Lan Yibaiâs previous words were a promise and a warning to her. She told her that she would do very well in the Zhuang family. She would live better now than before. At the same time, she was expected to be faithful, and she was not allowed to cuckold her son. Cen Shuang obediently nodded and agreed to be a good wife. As soon as Lan Yibai left, she immediately glared at Zhuang Hong.
âSee, your mother said it again. Iâve only been here for a few days and sheâs already said that a few times. Itâs not like I seduced your cousin. Is it my fault for looking like this? Ugh, this makes me mad. Are you on your motherâs side too? I wonât let you sleep on the bed any longer.â Cen Shuang kicked Zhuang Hong angrily. She did not know how hard she had kicked him, but there was a clear âthumpâ sound as Zhuang Hongâs head collided with the bedside table.
