The Struggles of Being A Mother of Villains

Ch.161 Papa, don't tickle Mama! (3)

Ji Xuang, "..." Ji Xuan who was dumbfounded throughout the whole thing didn't understand what was happening even now.

Ji Yu looked at Ji Xuan's spirited eyes. They weren't red at all! But she also wasn't too sure. It seems like if she looks at it this way, her Papa's eyes really did seem red. Is Papa really sad?

Ji Yu was lying on the dining table, looking at Ji Xuan. Blinking her peach blossom eyes, she said in a small voice, "Papa, you...can have the chicken soup."

Ji Xuan was instantly moved to the edge of tears. He stroked Ji Yu's head. "It's fine if Papa doesn't drink any. You, Mama, and your brother can have all of it."

Thus, Ji Yu became even more sensible. "Papa drink it."

Ji Xuan was even more moved now. "No, Xiao Yu can drink it."

After watching them go back and forth for a few minutes, Xiao Yu said indifferently, "There's still a big pot inside! All of us may not even be able to finish it."

Ji Xuan was stunned. Then, he saw Kong Yuqing at the side say with difficulty, "Young Master, there's still a lot inside."

Ji Yu answered very happily. "Then, everyone can drink soup!"

Ji Xuan, "..."

After the whole family had their meal, they sat on the sofa to rest.

Xiao Yu asked Ji Xuan, "Speaking of which, I heard a new tenant moved in next door. Have you seen them before?"

Ji Xuan thought for a moment before responding. "That's right, there is."

Xiao Yu made Ji Xuan a cup of coffee and handed it to him. "You know them?"

"They're the Wen family, one of the big shots in the clothing industry. Their family started even earlier than ours and they used to be tailors. Later, after the economic reform, they ended up starting a business and it was big at first. But nowadays, the company has been stagnant under Wen Tianlang's hands. Things are changing rapidly in today's society. It's been getting hard for them to keep up with the times." Ji Xuan took the coffee from her and asked, "Why do you ask?"

Xiao Yu crossed her legs and said, "Nothing! They're our neighbors, so I figured I should get to know about them."

Ji Xuan looked at her and asked, "Really?"

Xiao Yu nodded, and Ji Xuan didn't try to expose her either. After all, he had been a businessman for several years now, and he was quite sharp when it came to figuring a person out. Xiao Yu didn't seem to be concerned about them as one would with their neighbor, but rather like a spy lurking in the shadows and spying on the enemy's military situation.

"Mama, help me with my homework!" Ji Yu came over with a book.

Xiao Yu smiled. "Xiao Yu! There's a new big brother next door, did you know?"

Ji Yu was stunned. She shook her head. "Don't know."

Ji Xuan was also stunned. He turned and asked her, "How did you know that?"

Xiao Yu was shocked, but she remained calm on the surface. "I saw him, of course!"

Ji Xuan leaned back on the sofa and said, "Not a single one of the Wen family has moved in yet. From the house survey to the move-in, the only one who came by was Mrs. Wen. Xiao Yu..."

"Hahahaha...Xiao Yu! This question is no good! How can you answer it like this? Here, let Mama teach you!" Then, taking Ji Yu's hand, she walked towards the table.

Ji Xuan, "...Hey...""

Xiao Yu didn't even turn back. "Not now."

Ji Xuan, "...Xiao Yu..."

Xiao Yu, "Our Xiao Yu needs to do homework, not now!"

Ji Xuan, "...Ah, you teach her then!"

Ji Xuan sat on the sofa with a leisurely look on his face. Xiao Yu let out a sigh of relief and looked at Ji Yu's homework. "Here, see if there's anything you don't know, Mama will teach you."

Ji Yu nodded and opened her textbook. Xiao Yu looked at her homework for today and asked, "How come you brought your homework back today?"

Ji Yu said with a sad face, "Teacher Yi's grandma died. She was too sad and didn't have the mood to teach me."

Xiao Yu, "Well, that is pretty sad." While looking at her homework, she said, "Then, did Teacher Yi go to class today?"

Ji Yu nodded sadly. "She did!"

Xiao Yu also said with a sad face, "So sad and she's still going to work? Xiao Yu, you better not look for Teacher Yi these next few days."

Ji Yu looked shocked. “Really?"
