Sun Jia dabbed a cotton swab with medicine and helped Shen Yu clean the small piece of broken skin on his face. She didnât 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, âWhatâs wrong with you? You canât hit his face even if youâre angry. What if heâs really disfigured? He still has to rely on his face to make a living.â
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 didnât dare to do anything to him. However, he was still angry, so he softly said, âWhen 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.â
Sun Jia snorted. She knew that he was telling the truth, but she was still a little angry. âIâm not scolding you. Just wait to be scolded by Shen Yuâs fanatical female fans.
Mr. Liang raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, âSo be it. Who cares about them? 1 canât hear them anyway.â
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 Liâs 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 Yuâs 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 couldnât help but say, âAiyo, alright. Hurry up and save it. Itâs just a little scratch. Itâll be fine in less than three days. It wonât even leave a scar. If you continue to cause trouble, not only will Uncle hit you, but even Cousin will beat you up.â
Shen Yu looked puzzled. âWhy? I clearly didnât provoke him recently?â
Shen Zhao chuckled. âHave you forgotten why Uncle hit you?â
Shen Yu shrunk his neck and finally reacted.
After Shen Yuâs ruckus, Jing Yao wasnât as nervous as before. During dinner, Liang Xunâs parents knew that Jing Yao would feel uncomfortable if they were too solicitous, so they didnât 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, âWho is your brother talking to? Heâs been on the phone for so long. Why does he have to deliberately avoid us?â
âI think itâs with my future sister-in-law,â Shen Zhao said calmly.
Sun Jia didnât believe him at all. âHim? Forget it. How can a young boy who will never grow up be liked by girls? Of course, his female fans donât count.â
Shen Zhao smiled and did not say anything.
Sun Jia looked at Jing Yao, who was smiling, and suddenly said very seriously, âIn my opinion, among our children, Liang Xun is the least worrisome. Heâs mature and steady, has a successful career, and has good looks and character.â
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 Xunâs 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, âYaoyao, when are you going to change your way of addressing Little Auntie and Uncle?â
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 Xunâs parents, including Jing Yaoâs 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, âDad, Mom, you can go back.â
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, âDidnât they already give me the gifts?â
Liang Xun smiled at her and teased, âThese are the change of address fee.â
ââ¦â Jing Yao..
