BXBX NOVEL Chapter 435 - 435 Bad Mother.
"Sigh~ That dress was a rare kind. Sister Wang\'s husband bought it from another city… What a pity…" While mumbling, she turned to Luo Lixi. Even though she was expressing sorrow for others, inwardly Bin Manman was gloating.
\'Serve her right! She told me to bully that Sun woman yet dared to say I am short-tempered?! Getting a dress spoiled is already letting her off the hook easily!\' Bin Manman sneered in her mind as she made a miserable expression on her face.
Hearing her, Madam Tang\'s face eased a little. She turned to Wang Haixiao and then to Bin Manman. With an indifferent voice, she murmured, "If it\'s from her husband, then even if it\'s worth a fortune, it wouldn\'t be a pity in her mind."
Bin Manman chuckled wryly as her sight fell on Wang Haixiao. The little boy could comprehend that his father was being looked down again and instantly his eyes dimmed. With an unhappy and sceptical face, he glanced towards the way his mother had run-up to and in the next moment, he ran there too.
Bin Manman smirked as she giggled inside. \'So what if you are the only and dearest grandson of uncle Wang?! At the end of the day, your mother forced you to abandon your father\'s surname. Heh! child of a mere researcher…\'
Luo Lixi merely gave any attention to the things happening behind her. Her eyes fell on the pink dessert left on the table. After regaining her energetic expression, she turned towards her grandmother and spoke out, "Put me down~"
"Ah?Oh!" Madam Tang\'s attention returned to Luo Lixi. As the latter said, she put her on the ground. After stabilizing herself, Luo Lixi walked slowly towards the pink dessert.
Her brain was running like a horse, millions of thoughts about the bitter taste she felt and the dessert swirling inside her little head.
Without saying anything, she whirled around and began to walk towards the stairs, intending to walk up to the second floor.
Xiao Chi came back from the kitchen and saw the little girl trying to lift her little legs on the stairs with a frown.
She hurriedly went towards her and leaned down to pick her up. "Little Miss, don\'t run around with food. Go beside your grandma and eat."
Earlier, Madam Tang was eyeing Luo Lixi. She wanted to see what the little baby wanted to do. But her own maid interrupted her curiosity!
"I… want to bring it to Ma. She must be hungry?... That\'s it. She\'s hungry!" At first, Luo Lixi\'s little mind was dazed and she failed to give an immediate answer. But after a while, she made up an excuse.
When Bin Manman heard it, she glared at her own kid who was busy looking at Luo Lixi being carried back. She snorted and tapped on his head with her forefinger and gritted her teeth while whispering.
"Even a younger child than you has the thought of caring about her mother. And look at you, sitting here like a woodblock and refusing to smile... Such a waste that God has given you my good features! Humph!"
"..." Suddenly getting tapped on his skull, Zhao Yichen was frightened. But then, he hid his head and backed away as he whimpered with a painful face. "It hurts, Mama!"
"You are a boy. You should get used to the pain. Don\'t act like a sissy or you will die when my father drags you into the training ground in the future!" Bin Manman whispered angrily as she twisted the skin of Zhao Yichen\'s back.
The little kid was used to this barbaric behaviour of his mother. If he dared to cry, then when they would return to their home, his mother would punish him more intensely. Therefore, with red eyes, he stifled his cries down.
Luo Lixi\'s ears were attracted to the subtle noise which was coming from Bin Manman\'s side. Her eyes contracted into slits when she saw the pitiful look of Zhao Yichen.
Luo Lixi\'s eyes flared up like an angry mother hen and she shouted angrily while pointing at Bin Manman with her left forefinger, "Don\'t hurt him! Just because you are his mother doesn\'t mean you can abuse him! I will complain to grandpa Bin if you…"
Halfway through her outburst, Luo Lixi suddenly stiffened because Madam Tang suddenly turned her little face around and asked in disbelief, "Grandpa Bin?! You, you know him, child?!"
Instantly, Luo Lixi coward away as her furious face deflated into a scared one. She stuttered anxiously, "I, I, ah!"
Xiao Chi saw the pitiful look of Luo Lixi and chuckled, "Madam, she is a little child after all. Young Master must have shown her to Master Bin."
"It must be the case." Madam Tang relaxed her face as she patted the little cheeks of Luo Lixi. On the other hand, Luo Lixi began to sweat profusely because of her blunder. \'I nearly messed up again!\'
While Luo Lixi grinned cutely, both Bin Manman and Madam Tang were still astonished. After all, Elder Bin was a very strict person and any children would pee in fear if they saw the frightening gaze of that man.
Luo Lixi and Zhao Yichen were exceptional in that case for some unknown reason. While Luo Lixi was trying to find a way to hide the dessert so that she could research it, she was unaware of the fact that her simple act of protecting Zhao Yichen caused a great change in the kid\'s mind.
\'When Mama gave me pain, nobody cared, not even my father. Yet you… My friend…\' Zhao Yichen\'s little dark eyes twinkled when he stared at the little awkward face of Luo Lixi. His face was so serious that Bin Manman scowled when she noticed.
"Hey, what\'s wrong with you? Did you finally become a fool?" The woman asked in irritation as she wanted to pinch Zhao Yichen subconsciously.
But remembering Luo Lixi\'s earlier words she stiffened. \'Damn, girl! Made me embarrassed in front of everyone!\'
Madam Tang took Luo Lixi from the maid\'s hand and tried to take the little plate as she spoke indifferently, "You don\'t need to bring it to your mother. My granddaughter doesn\'t need to work so hard for someone. There are maids for this work."
When the old lady\'s fingers touched the plate, Luo Lixi frowned and spoke out urgently, "No! Maid won\'t do. I want to feed Ma with my hands~"
Looking at the innocent and pure face, Bin Manman got jealous. Again she glared at Zhao Yichen and scared her own son. The fact she missed to notice was that Sun Xumei doesn\'t threaten and scold her child as she does!
The heck! She wanted the same treatment from her son! Poor Yichen~
The more Madam Tang heard, the more jealous she became. With a forced smile, she glanced at Luo Lixi\'s eyes and asked, "My good child~ What about me? Won\'t you feed grandma?"
Luo Lixi\'s lips wavered upon hearing it. With a hesitant face, she looked down on the pink dessert and then looked up at her grandmother.
In the next moment, she whispered in a mosquito voice. "Don\'t you have a maid? Ask her to feed you, grandma~"
The forced smile on Madam Tang\'s face vanished instantly. For some reason, she felt like some witch had cast a spell on her granddaughter and caged her brain.
Without any doubt, in her imagination, this witch was her \'daughter in law\' whom she had to accept despite reluctance!
Xiao Chi saw the face of her master growing dark. She glanced at Luo Lixi and asked teasingly, "But baby, your mother also has a maid. That woman will feed your mother. You can feed your grandma first…"
"Am I grandma\'s maid?" Luo Lixi blinked cutely and asked.
"No. You are her dear granddaughter." Xiao Chi\'s lips twisted as she answered back.
"Then why are you telling me to feed her? Didn\'t you say a maid can feed her? I want to feed Ma. She doesn\'t have any maid…" Luo Lixi whispered as her hold tightened on the little plate.
Madam Tang\'s expression changed upon hearing her. She asked with great interest, "Your mother… doesn\'t have any servants?"
Luo Lixi shook her head. Then she looked up at Madam Tang and said with a broken voice while choking, "Baba has said... all the maids in our home are mine… I can bother and torment them all I want. B... But I can\'t do so with Ma~ Sob~"
Her voice sounded like she was on the verge of crying.
"…" Madam Tang
"…" Xiao Chi
"…" Bin Manman became extremely jealous and spoke loudly in irritation, "What is with Baiyun?! How can he spoil this wife like a queen?! Aunty, at this rate, she will jump on your head one day!"
Luo Lixi glanced at Bin Manman and noticed the bitter face of the other person. Inwardly, she grinned while outwardly, her eyes were brimming with tears, sad for her poor mother.
"Fine! Fine! I can\'t argue with a little child. Xiao Chi, bring her to her mother!" Madam Tang said with a helpless sigh and sat down on the sofa.
She ignored Bin Manman\'s words and then motioned Zhao Yichen to come to her. When the kid arrived beside her, to appease her anger, she began to feed Zhao Yichen with eyes full of affection.
But contrary to her disappointment, Luo Lixi didn\'t mind like Wang Haixiao and said, "Grandma, give me five more sweets. Mama is hungry~"
"…" The poor heart of Madam Tang was hurting badly.
