My baby is two and a half years old. Daddy, hurry up and make some milk!

Shen Wanning received a call from Xiao Nanfeng in the morning.

She thought he was calling to tell her about Lin Zhixia's situation, but unexpectedly, he was calling to borrow the child.

"What? Borrow Le Bao?"

Shen Wanning thought she had misheard.

"Yes, sister-in-law, Xiaxia's mother came to see her, and she brought a little girl with her. That child looks like a real troublemaker. I'm worried that Xiaxia will get hurt, so I'm thinking of bringing Lebao over. After all, who can be more mischievous than her?"

That's true, but do you want to listen to what you're saying?

Saying your own mother's child is the worst in front of her—only you could do that.

Shen Wanning's lips twitched after hearing this, speechless.

However, since it concerned her best friend, she still called the kindergarten teacher and told her that Le Bao's uncle would pick her up later.

The chubby boy, who hadn't even attended two classes at kindergarten, was taken away to carry out a mission because he was considered too unruly by others.

After picking up Le Bao, Xiao Nanfeng told her that she was going to protect her godmother, whose family had a bratty kid. If that kid bullied her godmother, she should go and beat him up.

He also promised Le Bao that after finishing this order, he would secretly buy her ice cream.

When the chubby girl heard that this was a great job, she thought, "I was originally supposed to protect my godmother, but I didn't expect there would be extra pay." She immediately felt that this was an important task and promised to complete it.

The atmosphere in the apartment was heavy.

Lin Zhixia felt annoyed and frustrated watching the mother patiently coaxing the little girl.

How old is she?

"She's 5 years old."

Lin's mother was a little afraid to look Lin Zhixia in the eye.

"Was it born when I was in college?"

Lin's mother nodded.

No wonder, no wonder for several months, her mother was never home when she went back home; when she asked, she was told that her mother had gone on a business trip.

They must have already decided to keep it from her back then, right?

"If we hadn't been discovered this time, were you planning to keep it from me forever?"

Lin Zhixia's voice was somewhat hoarse.

"Xiaxia, Mom... Mom was just afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it."

The little girl being held by Lin's mother was throwing a tantrum, yelling that she wanted potato chips and bossing Lin Zhixia to get them for her.

"Can't accept it? You still did it anyway. Did any of you ask me a single question from beginning to end?"

What's the point of bringing her here today? Are you trying to provoke me, or do you think that since she's all grown up, I have to accept it even if I can't, and then you're putting on a show of sisterly affection?"

Lin Zhixia's words struck a chord deep within Lin's mother's heart.

She did indeed bring Lin Zhixia with her youngest daughter today, someone who could accept her.

With a "crack," Lin Zhixia's younger sister threw the water glass on the ground. The shards of glass from the shattered glass grazed Lin Zhixia's instep, leaving a bloody mark.

"I want potato chips and a Coke, get them to me right now."

The little girl pointed at Lin Zhixia's nose, refusing to let it go.

Lin's mother exclaimed in surprise and rushed to check if her younger daughter was injured, completely unaware of the cut on her older daughter's instep.

Lin Zhixia watched this scene, closed her eyes, and ignored the injury on her foot.

"mom."

That cry of "Mom!" was uttered with all his might, and was filled with a deep, unbearable pain.

"You kept pressuring me to get married, was it so you could get rid of me and return to your new family with a clear conscience?"

She held back for a long time, but finally asked the question that was on her mind.

"Xiaxia, why would you think that way? Mom just wants you to be happy."

Hearing her mother's lack of confidence, Lin Zhixia completely gave up.

The little girl, who hadn't gotten any potato chips or cola, broke free from Lin's mother, walked up to Lin Zhixia, and gave her a push.

This scene was witnessed by Le Bao and Xiao Nanfeng as they entered through the door.

Shen Wanning gave Xiao Nanfeng the password to Lin Zhixia's house. She was afraid that her best friend would not want to open the door and would want to take responsibility on her own, so she gave him the password so that he could open the door himself.

Fortunately, Xiao Nanfeng chose to open the door directly instead of knocking, otherwise he would not have witnessed this heartbreaking scene.

When Le Bao saw someone pushing her godmother, she rushed forward without saying a word and knocked down the little girl who was two years older than her.

When Lin's mother saw her youngest daughter push Lin Zhixia, she was about to pull her back, but the sound of the door opening interrupted her. Then, she saw a small cannonball rushing over and knocking her youngest daughter down.

The little girl who was hit lay on the ground crying loudly. Because she was spoiled at home, even though she was two years older than Le Bao, she was a picky eater and loved to eat junk food, so her figure was not as plump as Le Bao's.

Lin's mother quickly pulled her youngest daughter up, looking at Le Bao with a reproachful gaze.

Why is this child like this? I used to think she was cute.

"Waaaaah, Mom, hit her! Hit her for me!"

The little girl, who had been helped up, started throwing a tantrum and demanding that Lin's mother hit Le Bao.

She had never suffered such grievances at home; everyone there doted on her and pampered her.

"Sweetie, little one, you didn't mean it."

Even if you gave Le Bao ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare to hit her.

"I don't care, hit her, or I won't want you to be my mother anymore."

Lin's mother couldn't coax her, so she glanced at Le Bao.

The chubby boy stood like a guardian angel, spreading his arms to block Lin Zhixia's way.

At this moment, Xiao Nanfeng stepped forward, put his arm around Lin Zhixia's shoulder, pulled her closer to him, and looked at Lin's mother with a cold gaze.

Feeling uneasy under her gaze, Lin's mother lowered her head and continued to soothe the child.

Le Bao was annoyed by the little girl's crying; she herself had never acted like this when she cried.

"Stop howling, you're crying because of your debt to the mud, I'll still beat you up."

The chubby boy took two steps forward and clenched his fists.

"Well."

The little girl, who had been crying uncontrollably, froze at Le Bao's shout. Because she stopped so quickly, she couldn't help but hiccup.

Then, feeling scared and wronged, she hid in her mother's arms.

"Le Bao, how could you do this? How could you bully your sister?"

Seeing her youngest daughter's frightened expression, Lin's mother became somewhat displeased.

"Hmph, Grandma's mean, the baby doesn't like mud anymore."

Le Bao crossed her arms and looked very angry.

She remembered this mother-in-law, her godmother's mother. She had given her food before, and she had even visited her home, but the little one had forgotten.

Children are very sensitive, and she quickly sensed that her mother-in-law was treating her godmother badly.

So she chose to stand on her godmother's side.

Lin Zhixia scoffed, her laughter particularly jarring in the room.

"What, Mrs. Lin, oh no, I should say Mrs. Xia now, are you trying to discipline the Lu family's children?"

Previously, Xiao Nanfeng treated her with great respect because she was Xiaxia's mother. Now, however, he will not give a kind look to anyone who has hurt Xiaxia.

"Xiaxia, Young Master Xiao, what's going on here?"

Lin's mother completely avoided Xiao Nanfeng's words. She was shocked by the scene before her, and then overjoyed.

"Look at you, you're with Nanfeng and you didn't even tell the family."

In her eyes, being able to get close to Xiao Nanfeng was like winning the lottery.

"Home? Do I even have a home anymore? Besides, do I need to report to you who I'm with and what I'm doing? You didn't tell me about your divorce, remarriage, and having children, did you?"

In Lin Zhixia's mind, although her mother was strict and domineering, she was not snobbish.

It turns out that everything was just what she thought.
