Fang Xiu responded, then added, "Well, I’ll send Haohao back to your place tonight. Let mom help with so work here for a few days. I trust you to take care of Haohao, and honestly, his constant fussing is getting on my nerves."
Fang Pingying was about to ask her about how to deal with Zhou Yuni. These past few days, Zhou Yuni was probably scared by what Luo Zhiyong said last ti and didn’t dare to wait downstairs anymore. Instead, she started to lurk around the corner of the house, probably ready to rush over and snatch Haohao at the sight of him.
Not that I’m afraid she would actually snatch him, but I worry it would frighten Haohao.
While pondering, Li Yuchun ca back with Haohao from grocery shopping. As soon as Haohao saw Fang Pingying, he happily got down from Li Yuchun’s arms, ran to Fang Pingying, hugged her legs, and loudly called out, "Aunty!"
Fang Pingying bent down to pick him up, kissed his chubby cheek, and smiled, "You little chubby boy, what, you missed your auntie?"
Haohao nodded vigorously, counting on his fingers as he began, "Missed, missed eating at, cakes, and missed big brother, big sister too."
Seeing him talk so joyfully, Fang Pingying smiled and pinched his cheek, "You little rascal, turns out you only miss the food and your siblings, not your auntie at all."
The little guy, whether he understood or not, didn’t say a word and just nestled in Fang Pingying’s arms, refusing to co out. Moreover, because he looked forward to going back with Fang Pingying, he insisted on following her wherever she went, fearing that Fang Pingying would go back by herself and leave him behind.
Actually, though Haohao is Fang Xiu’s biological son, after giving birth, Fang Xiu started working outside, and it was Fang Pingying, having more flexible ti, who took care of Yaoyao and the others, including Haohao as a result. Oftentis, Haohao was even closer and more affectionate with Fang Pingying compared to Fang Xiu.
Fang Pingying stayed in Fang Xiu’s shop all afternoon, and they closed the shop early in preparation to take Haohao back with Fang Pingying.
Haohao had quite a few things to bring over, so Fang Xiu and Li Yuchun went together. Li Yuchun said she also wanted to see Yaoyao and the others, missing her two grandchildren after several days.
However, it was unfortunate timing, as Fang Pingying had yet to discuss with Fang Xiu how to avoid Zhou Yuni when bringing Haohao back. As soon as they arrived downstairs, they saw Zhou Yuni standing there alone, craning her neck looking towards the stairway entrance, obviously lying in wait again, hoping to see Haohao.
Haohao, the little one, had sharp eyes and spotted Zhou Yuni from afar. He still rembered Zhou Yuni pinching his hand that day, and he imdiately yelled loudly, "Aunty, that bad person."
Perhaps hearing Haohao’s voice, Zhou Yuni looked in his direction. The first thing she saw was Haohao in Fang Pingying’s arms, and she ran over to Fang Pingying’s side full of excitent, stretching out her hand to touch Haohao, while calling out, "Haohao, Haohao, you’re finally back."
Fang Pingying took a step back, not letting her touch Haohao.
At this mont, Haohao, still holding onto the grudge of being pinched by Zhou Yuni, turned around, leaned on Fang Pingying’s shoulder, and shouted loudly, "Aunty, let’s go, go."
aning he didn’t want Fang Pingying to pay any attention to Zhou Yuni.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuni moved to Haohao’s other side, with a smiling face, calling out to Haohao, "Haohao, it’s grandma, your dear grandma. Don’t you recognize ?"
This ti, before Haohao could speak, Li Yuchun, irritated, shoved Zhou Yuni and glared at her as she shouted, "Zhou Yuni, do you have any sha at all? You took US$ 100 from my daughter, basically selling us Haohao, do you not rember? And now you have the gall to co asking for him back?"
As soon as the issue was ntioned, Zhou Yuni couldn’t help but clench her teeth in hatred towards Fang Pingying.
Because Fang Pingying deliberately set her up, it was Zhou Yuni who insisted on getting that US$ 100, which led to Luo Zhiyong blaming her later on because Luo Zhiming was actually reluctant to take the money, and she was the one pushing for it.
Though resentful, she could not retort and hesitantly said to Li Yuchun, "At worst, I will pay the money back to you."
Li Yuchun rolled her eyes, looked disdainfully at her, and snorted, "Hmph, Zhou Yuni, not only would I never agree to it, but even if you were to pay us back, could you? Would that impressive daughter-in-law of yours be willing to let go of such a large sum of money?"
That remark completely shut Zhou Yuni up; indeed, that US$ 100 had been mostly spent recently, and it had been snatched away by Xu He under the guise of buying things for the child.
Unable to pay back the money, she played dumb and shouted, "I don’t care about the money, he’s my grandson, and I have the right to see him."
After saying that, she pointed at Fang Pingying with indignation, "Moreover, it was she who deliberately misled us, causing to fall for her trick. Just goes to show this woman is no good."
"You..." Li Yuchun saw her bad-mouthing Fang Pingying and wanted to respond, but suddenly Fang Xiu, who had been silent all this ti and showed no emotion, spoke up. She addressed Fang Pingying and Li Yuchun, "Big sister, mom, you two go upstairs first, I’ll talk to her."
Fang Pingying looked at how calm Fang Xiu was and felt a bit uneasy, she glanced at her, but Fang Xiu nodded back, signaling she could handle it.
Only then did Fang Pingying decide to go upstairs with Li Yuchun.
But Zhou Yuni stretched out her hand to stop them, "You go if you must, but leave my grandson behind..."
Before she could finish, Fang Xiu suddenly pulled her back, whispering softly, "Stop yelling, if you want to see your grandson, then let’s have a proper chat."
Hearing this, Zhou Yuni sensed an opportunity and stopped insisting on keeping Haohao, allowing Fang Ping and Li Yuchun to go upstairs, and then turned her gaze to Fang Xiu, asking, "Fang Xiu, just say it, what do you want for you to give my grandson back to ?"
After a pause, seeming to realize the lack of persuasiveness in her words, she added, "No matter what conditions you propose, I’ll agree, even if you say you want to remarry Zhiming, I can consider it."
Fang Xiu’s face flashed a sneer, she bit her teeth secretly, but when she looked at Zhou Yuni, her face returned to normal and she said indifferently, "Yes, ever since I divorced Luo Zhiming, I’ve dread of getting back together with him, only there hasn’t been a chance."
At these words, Zhou Yuni was ecstatic, "Really?"
She well knew that Fang Xiu, because of riding on Fang Pingying’s coattails, was living quite well in the city, plus now knowing Haohao is her own grandson, she had no idea how much she regretted letting them get divorced. If there was a chance for them to remarry, she would not hesitate to ditch Xu He and bring Luo Zhiming and Fang Xiu back together.
Fang Xiu looked at her and nodded, "Really."
Though sowhat skeptical, Zhou Yuni felt convinced by Fang Xiu’s serious expression and actually believed her, nodding vigorously, "Well then, to show your sincerity, bring Haohao down and let him co back with first. I’ll go back and discuss with Zhiming, and he just might agree to remarry you."
