Meng Yao saw Rong Qiao and Chen Ying arguing and had no intention of getting involved.
Meng Yao turned around, intending to leave quickly while they were not paying attention.
She walked very quickly.
"Meng Yao!"
Meng Yao recognized it as Rong Qiao's voice. She didn't expect that he would come to trouble her again so soon.
"Meng Yao, stop right there. You turned around and left when you saw your aunt! Is this your attitude and upbringing?! What are you hiding from?!"
Meng Yao curled the corner of her mouth. Rong Qiao really kept talking about "self-cultivation".
Meng Yao did not stop, no matter how Rong Qiao shouted at her from behind.
She didn't care what Guan Rongqiao thought, so Meng Yao pretended she didn't hear anything.
Suddenly a childish voice rang out: "Sister-in-law!"
There was a tone of crying in the voice.
Meng Yao paused for a moment and remembered that it was Xu Mu's voice.
"Xu Mu where are you going!!"
Xu Mu broke free from Rong Qiao's hand and ran forward madly with his short legs. He looked chubby, but he ran fast.
The distance was not far to begin with, and in just a flash, Xu Mu had already hugged Meng Yao's legs.
He cried pitifully, his nose was red, and he shouted: "Sister-in-law, please save me! My mother is so fierce! Please save me, wuwuwu..."
After he said that, a few more tears fell and he hugged Meng Yao's legs tightly.
Meng Yao paused, lowered her head and saw Xu Mu's dark eyes.
Meng Yao thought that she didn't look gentle, and could even be called "bad", so why did Xu Mu come to her for shelter? She had only hugged him last time.
Xu Mupang grabbed the edge of Meng Yao's shirt with his hands, and said with red eyes: "Hug~ Hug~~"
Although she was not a good person, Meng Yao thought that she was not capable of ruthlessly shooing away a cub.
Especially since Xu Musheng had a chubby face, Meng Yao, who seldom came into contact with children, found him somewhat cute.
Meng Yao bent down slightly and picked up Xu Mu.
Xu Mu hugged Meng Yao's neck tightly, but he didn't use any strength, so he didn't feel uncomfortable.
The little face came close to her, and the smooth touch made Meng Yao stunned. She squinted and looked over, and saw Xu Mu's big eyes like black grapes, watery and bright.
Rongqiao has a good son.
Unable to dodge, Meng Yao carried Xu Mu and walked over. Actually, Meng Yao was not afraid of Rong Qiao, she just felt that there were some troubles.
Seeing Xu Mu being so close to Meng Yao, Chen Ying's eyes flashed with inquiry and complexity.
Although Xu Mu looks cute, chubby and adorable, his personality is actually not as cute as he looks. He is sometimes willful and has a bad temper, and is usually very arrogant. Sometimes he won't even let others touch him.
I didn't expect that after only meeting her a few times, Xu Mu liked Meng Yao so much and was so dependent on her.
But if we really think about it, Xu Mu only showed his love for Meng Yao at the old lady's birthday party last time. Before that, his attitude towards Meng Yao was lukewarm...
That's really strange...
After just a few steps, Meng Yao already felt the pain in her elbows.
She looked at the little fat boy in her arms. He was really not thin, and his face was round...
Rong Qiao stared at Meng Yao, his face almost turning blue with anger.
"Xu Mu, come down quickly and come to your mother!"
Xu Mu shrank back at her stern voice; he was just a five-year-old child.
It was just the angry words of a child, but Rong Qiao was so angry that he couldn't control himself: "I told you to come down quickly! You didn't even listen to me? If you continue like this, don't come home with me!"
Every time she saw her son getting so close to Meng Yao, Rong Qiao felt an inexplicable anger in her heart. She was usually strong-willed and excellent in everything, and rarely encountered anything unpleasant, but since she had a confrontation with Meng Yao... she felt that she rarely had a comfortable time.
Rong Qiao also hated Meng Yao before, but she looked stupid back then, nothing like she is now, as if she was covered with thorns, swaying her body arrogantly as if to pierce people's flesh.
Xu Mu's tears rolled down again after being scolded by Rong Qiao.
Rong Qiao was even more annoyed: "Why are you crying?!"
Not only did Xu Mu's crying not stop, it became even louder.
Meng Yao felt her shoulders were wet. She didn't expect that this child could cry so much.
"do not Cry."
It was just a faint tone, but Xu Mu stopped crying instantly. His big eyes were blank and there were tears on his face, about to fall, making him look even more pitiful.
Xu Mu wouldn't listen to anything he said, but he would listen to anything outsiders said. The anger in Rong Qiao's heart was almost indescribable.
Chen Ying sighed, walked over and took out a handkerchief to wipe Xu Mu's tears.
She stretched out her hand: "Yaoyao, give Mumu to me. I will take Mumu to find the old lady."
Xu Mu hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his hand.
The weight in her arms suddenly disappeared, and Meng Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
Rong Qiao asked, "What do you mean?"
Chen Ying lowered her head slightly: "Don't you feel bad for him crying like this? Such a young child..."
Rong Qiao was about to explode when he heard Chen Ying continue, "Ah'an is also over there, maybe Mumu will be happy to see him."
Xu Mu shook his head secretly. He didn't like Rong Wei at all.
It was not only because Rong Wei looked fierce, but also because Rong Qiao asked him to approach him deliberately. Although he was young, he was the most intuitive one to "dislike" him.
Rongqiao asked him to learn music. He was quite interested in it at first, but he stopped liking it after being scolded by Rongqiao too many times.
Rong Qiao's expression changed, and he seemed to have calmed down: "If that's the case... just take him over to have a look."
Rongqiao has always believed that being with outstanding people will only make you better.
"Yaoyao, then you go around first, I will come to find you later." Chen Ying held Xu Mu in his arms.
Xu Mu blinked his big eyes, seeming reluctant to leave Meng Yao: "Sister-in-law, remember to play with Mu Mu..."
Meng Yao nodded.
When Rong Qiao saw this, he felt an indescribable sense of suffocation in his heart.
*
Meng Yao unknowingly walked to the garden she had visited before. Compared to the dead of winter, almost all the flowers in the garden were in full bloom at this time, and there were several new varieties, competing for beauty.
Meng Yao walked slowly to the pond to look at the carp and some other kinds of fish, but she couldn't quite tell them apart.
She reached into her pocket, took out the candied fruit she had prepared long ago, tore open the package and stuffed it into her mouth.
She leisurely kicked a stone on the stone bridge, the breeze blew her hair, and her mood seemed to become much more relaxed.
"I didn't expect to see you here again. It seems you like the garden very much..."
A smiling voice sounded.
Meng Yao turned around, and the first thing she saw was the rippling peach blossom eyes, which looked like they were covered with a layer of shallow water.
