Chapter 526: The New Mom
Chapter 526: The New Mom
After another five minutes, Zhou Chenglei finally emerged from the room, looking sullen and dejected, with Zhou Ying by his side.
The couple exchanged a glance.
As Zhou Chenglei helped her into the car, Jiang Xia smiled and handed Zhou Ying a pack of chocolate, asking, "Yingying, do you want some chocolate?"
Zhou Ying shook her head.
Jiang Xia opened one for herself, put it in her mouth, and mumbled, "Sweet chocolate, it melts in your mouth, and it seems to melt away my bad mood today."
Zhou Ying looked at her in surprise.
Could chocolate really melt away a bad mood?
Jiang Xia offered her another piece, "Do you want some?"
Zhou Ying took it, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth.
"Is it good?"
Zhou Ying nodded, "It's delicious."
She loved chocolate the most.
Zhou Chenglei returned to the car, took a water bottle from the passenger seat, opened it, and handed it to Jiang Xia, "After something sweet, have some water. Yingying, drink some water after you finish. Do you have water in your flask?"
Jiang Xia angrily replied, "I don't want to drink, and I don't need you to worry about me! Didn't you say you wouldn't care about me anymore?"
Zhou Ying raised her head, about to say something, but was startled by Jiang Xia's furious expression.
She had seen her aunt angry before, and she was so fierce that she even hit her uncle!
Zhou Ying was so scared that she couldn't speak.
Zhou Chenglei was also stunned for a moment, and then he saw Jiang Xia blink.
Realizing what she meant, he quickly agreed, "I didn't mean it when I said I wouldn't care about you. It was just anger talking."
Jiang Xia humphed and then turned to Zhou Ying, "Yingying, Auntie is so unhappy, it makes me feel so sad. Your uncle is so mean to me!"
Zhou Ying was completely taken aback and didn't know what to do. In her opinion, Auntie was even meaner!
Her uncle was also startled.
Zhou Ying glanced at her uncle.
Zhou Chenglei started the car and said, "Yingying, help me cheer up Auntie. Uncle has to drive."
Zhou Ying: "..."
How was she supposed to cheer her up?
Would Auntie hit her too?
Zhou Ying forgot her own worries and racked her brains, finally coming up with a way to cheer her up, "Auntie, Uncle didn't mean it. Don't be angry with him."
Jiang Xia: "Your uncle is so mean! He won't let me go to the seaside to gather seafood, he won't let me eat crab, he won't let me do this, he won't let me do that. If I don't listen to him, he gets angry and says he won't care about me anymore! I don't need him to care about me! I hope he never cares about me again!"
Zhou Chenglei: "I was just angry, and you can't take angry words seriously. Don't take it to heart, how could I possibly not care about you?"
Jiang Xia then asked Zhou Ying, "Yingying, what do you think? Should Auntie take it to heart when your uncle gets angry?"
Zhou Ying immediately shook her head, "Uncle is right, angry words don't count. They're just words said in anger! Auntie, don't take it to heart when your uncle gets angry."
Jiang Xia agreed, "Then I'll listen to Yingying and won't take it to heart when your uncle gets angry. Yingying is right, angry words don't count. So, if anyone says something bad to you when they're angry, don't take it to heart, okay? Those are just angry words."
Zhou Ying: "..."
It seemed like she had fallen for Auntie and Uncle's trick!
Jiang Xia held Zhou Ying's hand, "Thank you, Yingying. Auntie feels better now that she's spoken up! Were you unhappy too? Do you want to talk about it? That way, you won't feel unhappy anymore."
Zhou Ying lowered her head and remained silent for a moment, but she couldn't help but say, "Mom won't let me go to her, she wants me to find a new mom. Is Dad going to find another mom for me? Is that why he didn't come to pick me up? Does he want me to live with you from now on and not with him? Am I going to be like Zhou Zhou?"
Jiang Xia never expected Li Xiuxian to say such things to her child.
Jiang Xia knew that rumors would eventually spread, and Zhou Ying would have to face them sooner or later.
However, she never expected that the first person to hurt her with words would be Li Xiuxian, not an outsider.
Zhao Cheng Lei tightened his grip on the steering wheel after hearing this.
"Making mistakes and taking it out on the child. And what's this about a new mother?"
"Deliberately misleading the child!"
