Shen Mei raised her eyes and suddenly noticed Xiaoxiao scrutinizing her. She curved her lips and was about to greet her with a fake smile.
However, Xiaoxiao turned her head away, pretending not to have seen her.
Shen Mei frowned. This little girl was dressed plainly, clearly from a modest background, and she had never liked her from the beginning.
What was even stranger was the look of hostility and unfriendliness in the girlâs eyes whenever she looked at her. It made Shen Mei very unhappy.
With each passing moment, her dislike for this little girl grew stronger. It seemed that she couldnât let Ding Ding bring her home in the future.
âMadam, Young Master, Miss Shen, itâs time for dinner,â Butler Luo approached them and invited them to the dining table.
âAlright, letâs eat,â Coco immediately held Xiaoxiaoâs hand and happily ran towards the dining table. They climbed onto their seats and sat closely together.
Lanlan, with a displeased look on her face, glanced at Xiaoxiao.
âXiaoxiao, come, try this,â Coco turned the plate and served a big crab into Xiaoxiaoâs bowl.
Xiaoxiao looked at the red crab shell and shook her head, saying, âI canât crack it.â
âItâs okay, Iâll help you,â Coco replied and started to load Xiaoxiaoâs bowl with various dishes, including crayfish and cumin spare ribs, all of which he had instructed the kitchen to prepare. He picked up small tongs and carefully worked on the crab meat, placing each piece into Xiaoxiaoâs mouth. He didnât eat any himself.
Li Wanqing was extremely surprised.
Ding Ding cared for Xiaoxiao so much!
She had never seen Ding Ding like this before, being so attentive to someone else. It seemed like this child was full of compassion.
Who said he was cold and heartless?
Now, she could rest easy!
Lanlan pushed around her food with her chopsticks, showing no interest in eating. She occasionally watched Coco and Xiaoxiao being close, pouting her lips.
âWhy donât you ever feed me, Brother?â She asked, displeased.
Coco didnât even look at her and replied, âSheâs a guest.â
âWhat kind of guest is she? She looks so shabby. From now on, youâre not allowed to bring her home anymore,â Lanlan said angrily. Xiaoxiaoâs arrival had completely stolen her limelight, and she didnât want to see her. She issued her declaration with an authoritative tone.
Li Zhenting frowned. âLanlan, Xiaoxiao is Ding Dingâs classmate, and itâs normal to invite classmates over. Youâre the host, so you should be polite to guests.â
Li Zhenting was quite dissatisfied with Lanlanâs domineering attitude. Her possessiveness was too strong, and she always wanted to be the center of attention, insisting on getting everything she liked. This trait reminded him a bit of Shen Mei, which he disliked the most.
Lanlan was criticized by her father, and her haughty demeanor lessened. Her eyes turned red.
Meanwhile, Shen Mei, wearing an apron, was serving dishes to Li Wanqing at the dining table. She was busy flattering her mother-in-law and trying to please Li Zhenting, feeling joyful in her efforts. @@novelbin@@
However, when she heard Li Zhenting scolding Lanlan, her smile disappeared. She looked displeased as she glanced at Xiaoxiao, her dislike for her growing stronger.
âLanlan, come here to Mommy,â she gestured for Lanlan to come over, then sat next to Li Zhenting.
Lanlan immediately ran into her motherâs arms.
But even as children, they naturally preferred to play with kids their own age.
On the other side, Coco and Xiaoxiao were getting along so well, and she was left all alone. She was still very unhappy about it.
In the past few days at the kindergarten, Coco hadnât paid her any attention at all. After class, he would always run to the fence and engage in some sort of flirting with Xiaoxiao. She couldnât stand it anymore. Little did she know that he would boldly bring Xiaoxiao into their home.
It seemed that Dad supported them.
And she remembered now that last time, when she ran into Ding Dingâs room, he was talking to a little girl, and she recognized that it was Xiaoxiao.
She pouted, her eyes filled with jealousy..
