Sun Jia dabbed a cotton swab with medicine and helped Shen Yu clean the small piece of broken skin on his face. She didn’t know if Shen Yu did it on purpose, but when Sun Jia touched it, he hissed as if he was in extreme pain.
Although Sun Jia liked to scold the boys at home, her heart still ached.
After applying the medicine, she turned to Mr. Liang and said angrily, “What’s wrong with you? You can’t hit his face even if you’re angry. What if he’s really disfigured? He still has to rely on his face to make a living.”
Shen Yu sat beside Sun Jia and looked at Mr. Liang gloatingly.
Mr. Liang gritted his teeth at him. Because Sun Jia was around, he didn’t dare to do anything to him. However, he was still angry, so he softly said, “When did 1 deliberately hit him on his face? This brat is a loach and is very cunning. I only hit him once. He dodged and I accidentally slapped him in the face.”
Sun Jia snorted. She knew that he was telling the truth, but she was still a little angry. “I’m not scolding you. Just wait to be scolded by Shen Yu’s fanatical female fans.
Mr. Liang raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, “So be it. Who cares about them? 1 can’t hear them anyway.”
Jing Yao, who was sitting at the side, found it funny but also felt a little warm. In the past, everyone around her said that her parents were loving. Jing Mo agreed to Zhang Li’s requests, but it was quite obvious whether he loved her or not. She used to find it strange and only understood the truth yesterday.
Liang Xun was a very protective person. When he saw Shen Yu’s injuries, he thought that he had been bullied. Knowing that it was his father who had beaten him up, he could not be bothered.
Anyway, his father would not hit someone for no reason. He had been beaten before. As far as he remembered, he pulled the braid of a female classmate in the front row in kindergarten. He was actually just curious and did not use much strength, but that female classmate cried and complained to the teacher.
After his father found out about this, he went to the courtyard and broke a thin bamboo strip to hit him. The last thing his father could tolerate was bullying women, no matter what age they were.
Shen Zhao was the only person present who knew the cause and effect. Seeing that Shen Yu was still planning to act pitiful, she couldn’t help but say, “Aiyo, alright. Hurry up and save it. It’s just a little scratch. It’ll be fine in less than three days. It won’t even leave a scar. If you continue to cause trouble, not only will Uncle hit you, but even Cousin will beat you up.”
Shen Yu looked puzzled. “Why? I clearly didn’t provoke him recently?”
Shen Zhao chuckled. “Have you forgotten why Uncle hit you?”
Shen Yu shrunk his neck and finally reacted.
After Shen Yu’s ruckus, Jing Yao wasn’t as nervous as before. During dinner, Liang Xun’s parents knew that Jing Yao would feel uncomfortable if they were too solicitous, so they didn’t do much and asked Liang Xun to take care of Jing Yao.
After dinner, Liang Xun and his father went to the study on the second floor to discuss something, leaving Jing Yao and the others in the living room.
Shen Yu ran out of the courtyard to make a call. As Sun Jia called Jing Yao to eat fruits, she asked Shen Zhao, “Who is your brother talking to? He’s been on the phone for so long. Why does he have to deliberately avoid us?”
“I think it’s with my future sister-in-law,” Shen Zhao said calmly.
Sun Jia didn’t believe him at all. “Him? Forget it. How can a young boy who will never grow up be liked by girls? Of course, his female fans don’t count.”
Shen Zhao smiled and did not say anything.
Sun Jia looked at Jing Yao, who was smiling, and suddenly said very seriously, “In my opinion, among our children, Liang Xun is the least worrisome. He’s mature and steady, has a successful career, and has good looks and character.”
Jing Yao felt inexplicably shy and a little proud when she suddenly heard her praise Liang Xun.
Sun Jia heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Jing Yao. Although Liang Xun’s progress was slow, it was a good thing to make progress.
After that, the two of them chatted about something else. Halfway through, Sun Jia got up and left once. Shen Zhao asked Jing Yao in a low voice, “Yaoyao, when are you going to change your way of addressing Little Auntie and Uncle?”
Jing Yao blushed and did not answer.
When it was almost time, Liang Xun prepared to take Jing Yao back. There were many things in their car, all gifts prepared by Liang Xun’s parents, including Jing Yao’s birthday gift. There were gifts for the unborn child.
Mr. Liang and Sun Jia sent them out. They were about to get into the car when Jing Yao finally mustered her courage and said, “Dad, Mom, you can go back.”
Both of them were stunned. Then, they answered excitedly and each took out a red packet for Jing Yao.
Jing Yao was dumbfounded and did not reach out to take it. In the end, Liang Xun accepted them for her.
After getting into the car, Jing Yao took two red packets and asked Liang Xun in confusion, “Didn’t they already give me the gifts?”
Liang Xun smiled at her and teased, “These are the change of address fee.”
“…” Jing Yao..
