259 Chapter 252: She is the Little Angel
Xu Miaomiao was eating just fine until she saw Lin Yile serve herself a second bowl of rice, which frightened her.
"Mom, Mom..."
She reached out to tug on her mother's sleeve, then said through her tears,
"Did you really make sothing delicious for Lele? Why is she eating so much?" People might say she ate a lot, but she wasn't eating that much at all. It was Lin Yile who was eating a lot, right?
But she genuinely didn't understand. The girl, who used to eat only a bowlful, is now such a big eater?
"Perhaps she has grown up?"
When Xu Miaomiao asked her mother, her mother had no idea. When Lin Yile ca, she was like a little rabbit, eating only a small bowl. Now, Lin's parents were away on business, so they left Lin Yile with her. They paid 500 yuan a month. What if there was sothing wrong with this child?
No, this wouldn't do.
When she ca back, she discussed it with her husband, and then took a day out to take Lin Yile for a check-up. But the results showed that there was no problem at all.
Lin Yile was as normal as she could be.
The doctor's explanation for her sudden increase in appetite was that she might have started developing.
And the word 'developnt', led the mom to a belated realization.
Lin Yile had recently gained so weight, her face had rounded off, and she was comparable to Xu Miaomiao, the healthy baby.
As the doctor said there was nothing wrong, they didn't worry. The mom was fretting about what to cook for the children the next day. After all, these children were about to take exams again. High school students had a hard life; there was never-ending howork.
If the nutrition was not good enough, if they didn't eat well, wouldn't their bodies be affected?
When Tang Yuxin opened the door to her house, she noticed that sothing was different. There was a tablecloth on the table with small flower patterns, and even the unknown bottle standing on the cabinet was covered.
The whole house already felt warr, no longer as cold as before. The so-called coldness didn't an the temperature was too low, but it referred to the emptiness as the house had been uninhabited for a long ti.
At this mont, a woman erged from the kitchen.
She was still as thin as before, her face sunken in, and her arms and legs were skinny, resembling sticks.
Upon seeing Tang Yuxin, the woman hesitated.
"You're back," she said with a smile. Despite her unattractive appearance, her smile was very infectious.
Tang Yuxin didn't know how to respond. Then, the sound of the door opening ca again.
"Lily, is dinner ready? I've bought so beef, let's cut it later."
The voice of Tang Zhinian echoed outside, followed by a series of footsteps.
Tang Zhinian was delighted to see Tang Yuxin standing by the door.
"You ca over today, what a coincidence," he said, lifting up the beef in his hand, "Dad bought beef. I was just thinking about bringing so over to your Uncle Xu's for you. You love beef the most."
He continued speaking while bringing the beef into the kitchen and washing his hands to start chopping.
Neither he nor the two won outside noticed the awkward atmosphere.
This was just like an encounter between an ex and a current girlfriend.
Well, it was indeed an encounter between an 'ex' and the 'current' girlfriend. Isn't it often said that a daughter is her father's lover from a past life?
Not long after, the three of them sat down together. Tang Yuxin was eating her al in small bites. She felt that her father wasn't entirely hers anymore, and soone was trying to snatch him away from her.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce her," Tang Zhinian said as he pointed to the woman beside him, "This is your Auntie Ren. We owe her a lot. She's much better now, only needs so recuperation. She has nowhere to go, so she's staying here for now."
Ren Li also felt quite awkward. She just bowed her head, eating her rice, and didn't dare to pick up any dishes.
After the al, Ren Li wanted to wash the dishes, but Tang Zhinian took them to the kitchen before she could.
Outside, Ren Li and Tang Yuxin were staring at each other.
Tang Yuxin tapped the table lightly with her fingers, her cold eyes fixed on Ren Li.
"Enough, you don't have to look at like that."
Ren Li stood up.
"Co in with ."
Saying so, she already walked into her room.
Tang Yuxin also stood up, followed her in, and with a slam, closed the door behind her, leaving two separate worlds outside. Tang Zhinian was still busy in the kitchen. If he didn't spend about half an hour in there, he typically wouldn't co out, and later he had to clean the house and take out the garbage. So, the won had at least half an hour.
In this ti, Ren Li could explain her circumstances, and of course, Tang Yuxin could find out whatever she wanted.
Ren Li leaned against the wall and pulled open the curtain. This place was better.
She sighed. There were less heart-wrenching intrigues here. Ordinary people always imagined how great it would be to be rich, but it was not good at all. All the fighting and plotting were unimaginable.
Tang Yuxin found a place to sit and prepared to listen to the story.
"My na is Ren Li, my real na." Ren Li turned around and leaned forward slightly, casually, naturally, yet with a certain unique charm, which didn't resemble that of a commoner's daughter.
"Thank you for saving ."
"No problem," Tang Yuxin supported her face with her hand on the table, "Okay, keep going, I'm listening."
Ren Li laughed, "You and your father are nothing alike. Your father is honest and kind, but you're not. You're a little devil."
"I'm actually a little angel," Tang Yuxin always denied being a little devil. Of course, Xu Miaomiao and others referred to her as Tang Monster, but she would never admit having any association with the word 'monster'.
Ren Li's eyes twitched slightly.
"How could such an honest man have a daughter like you? How did you grow up?"
With that, Ren Li reached out and kneaded Tang Yuxin's face like kneading dough. Oh, the advantages of youth, her face was so tender.
"And…" She kneaded again, "Your dad's skin is so dark, how could he have a child as fair as you? Could it be, your mom is fair?"
"Believe ," Tang Yuxin suddenly smiled, "My mom is darker than my dad, she definitely can't bear a child as fair as ."
And when she said 'my mom', one could clearly detect the sarcasm in her voice.
