i Yun spent quite so ti coaxing i Mu in the room until she finally stopped crying.
Wang Yue had already overheard the father-daughter reconciliation from outside the door and happily went downstairs to tell Zhao Yan to prepare for dinner.
As soon as she descended the stairs, she spotted i Yan sitting on the sofa, and her eyebrows imdiately furrowed in anger. “It’s you, little brat, who ran to your dad to complain about and got scolded! Watch how I deal with you today!”
i Yan agilely jumped off the sofa and quickly moved to the other side of the coffee table, facing off with Wang Yue on opposite sides of it.
To catch him, Wang Yue had to maneuver around the coffee table.
“Little brat, you dare to run away! Let catch you and teach you a lesson!” she shouted.
“Co! I’m not afraid of you!” i Yan taunted her and, seeing her attempt to pounce, swiftly moved to the other side of the coffee table, evading Wang Yue’s grasp.
However, Wang Yue accidentally knocked her knee against the coffee table, causing her to cry out in pain. “You little brat, you dare to hide!”
“Do you an I should stand still and let you hit ? I’m not a fool!” i Yan teased, feeling triumphant as he ran to the other side to stay out of Wang Yue’s reach.
When i Shu returned, she saw i Yan and Wang Yue facing off in the living room.
i Yan quickly ran over to her sister and sought shelter behind her. “Sister, Aunt Wang wants to hit !”
“Why do you want to hit Yanyan?” i Shu frowned, shielding her brother behind her.
Feeling protected, i Yan’s tail wagged even higher.
Wang Yue was infuriated by his smug appearance, but she couldn’t hit him in front of i Shu. She could only suppress her anger and say, “Your brother needs better discipline. Your dad thought you would be a good sister and could take care of him, but ever since you ca back ho, i Yan has beco more and more unruly. If you can’t handle it, let Auntie take care of him.”
“My brother is my responsibility. You have no right to ddle in i Yan’s affairs,” i Shu replied coldly, glancing at the bandage on Wang Yue’s forehead. She then turned her attention to her brother to check if he was hurt.
Under i Shu’s protective gaze, i Yan snuggled closer to her, his big eyes blinking cutely. Worried that she might be too concerned for him, he tried to comfort her in a soft voice, “Don’t worry, Sis. 1 won’t let anyone bully .”
i Shu smiled and ruffled his hair. “Good, that way I can feel at ease.”
“Feel at ease about what?” i Yun’s voice ca from upstairs as he slowly descended the stairs with i Mu.
i Mu’s eyes were still red and swollen, but she didn’t seem angry after the scolding. Instead, she appeared to be quite content.
i Shu knew what had happened.
i Yun and i Mu must have lied to her father while she was away.
But it didn’t matter.
She had discovered sothing more important.
“It’s nothing,” i Shu put down her bag and walked to her father’s side, pouring him a cup of hot tea. “Dad, I rember Mom left behind a necklace she loved the most. I miss her a lot. Can you show the necklace?”
i Yun was montarily stunned, then a profound sadness filled his expression. “Sure, I often take it out to look at it when I’m alone. Your mother looked the most beautiful when she wore those pieces of jewelry. Now that you’ve returned, it’s ti to pass those things on to you. Just wait, I’ll go upstairs and get it for you.”
“Okay,” i Shu sipped her tea slowly and sat in her place, seeming to smile faintly.
On the side.
Wang Yue tensed up as soon as i Shu ntioned the necklace, and her mind buzzed for a mont. She quickly tried to stop i Yun. “Honey, it’s almost ti for dinner. Let’s look at it later, so as not to get the necklace dirty.”
i Yun looked at her strangely, “Why would the necklace get dirty for no reason?”
Wang Yue fidgeted with her clothes. “Honey, there’s nothing wrong with missing your deceased wife, but I’m your current wife. If you want to be alone with i Shu to see it in the study, that’s okay, but if you take it out, I… I just feel like you don’t love as much as you loved Bai Ling.”
“What are you saying? Why are you suddenly comparing yourself to a dead person?” i Yun brushed away her hand, “Alright, I’ll go with i Shu to the study to look at it. i Shu, co with .”
Wang Yue suddenly beca nervous, and her breathing started to quicken.
Even i Yan noticed sothing unusual about her behavior.
As a child who often got scared after causing trouble and feared punishnt, i Yan knew exactly why Wang Yue was reacting this way.
He smirked and teased, “Aunt Wang used to know that my dad would miss Mom in the study, right? Why didn’t she care before, but suddenly she cares today? Is it because Mom’s necklace can’t be taken out today?”
Wang Yue widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at i Yan.
How could this little brat suddenly beco so clever!
i Yun also realized the situation, and his face darkened.. “What did you do with Bai Ling’s jewelry?”
