Rena was even more annoyed: "Who's stingy!" She took out all her treasured snacks from the cabinet.
"Eat it all, don't be shy." Rena glanced at Makise, "But don't be like some people who judge others by their own petty standards."
Makise's forehead was covered in red dots: "Hehehe."
Rena was grinding her fangs.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Yi Yue advised, "Don't eat too much yet. Dinner is about to start, and you won't be able to eat much if you eat too much later."
Reina Makise shouted in unison, "Then why don't you hurry up and do it!"
“Ah…” Yi Yue was at a loss.
"Heh!" "Hmph!" The two turned their heads away again to coax Lili. This left Yiyue feeling neglected and helpless.
"Dad, let me help you." Yixue stood up and smiled, going to the kitchen to help Yiyue.
As expected, Yixue is the most sensible. Yiyue couldn't help but think.
Yi Xue followed behind Yi Yue, blushing as she thought, "Dad must think I'm very sensible and well-behaved."
After preparing the meal, the family ate together at the table.
Rena kept putting food on Lili's plate, saying, "Last time you came, you didn't get to properly taste Dad's cooking. It's so delicious, you'll bite your tongue off."
Makise also put some food on Lili's plate: "Eat more so you can grow faster."
Rena and Makise both served food to Ruri, leaving Itsuki feeling neglected, and she could only manage a forced smile.
I spent half the day cooking, working so hard, and no one even picked up any food for me?
"Dad, you've worked hard." Yixue picked up a chicken wing for Yiyue. She originally wanted to pick up a chicken leg for Yiyue, but all the chicken legs were in Lingnai and Lili's bowls.
"Okay, Yixue, you should eat too," Yiyue said happily, picking up a duck neck for Yixue.
"Thank you, Dad." Yixue smiled as she accepted the gift, lowered her head, and began to suck on the duck neck with her chopsticks, her face slightly flushed.
“Cousin,” Lili said.
"Hmm?" Yi Yue looked at Li Li strangely.
Lili said, "Could you call my parents later?"
"why?"
"Because I wanted to make my parents worry a little. If they really care about me, they'll be able to find my cousin's house right away," Lili said.
Yi Yue asked, "What if your parents can't find this place?"
Lili lowered her head, and Reina said, "Then of course it's perfectly legitimate for her to live in our house."
Izuki shook his head; he wasn't as optimistic as Reina. He was racking his brains over how to face Lili's parents next.
……
bedroom.
Makise said, "Dad, Lili is so pitiful."
Yi Yue blushed slightly and said, "What should I call you?"
"What's wrong? Can't I call you Daddy Moon?" Makise said with a grin.
Izuki felt a little ashamed.
Makise said, "Alright, stop joking with Yue." Makise said seriously, "Lili's parents are very strict. They don't even let her touch snacks. If she makes a mistake, they like to beat and scold her. Her hands are covered in bruises."
Makise was heartbroken; how could she bear to hit such a lovely child?
"Sigh." Itsuki patted Makise's hand.
Just then, Izuki's phone rang.
Yi Yue checked the caller ID; it was Xia Hong calling.
“Moon…” Makise looked at Izuki.
Izuki gestured for silence.
"Hello, is this cousin? Is Lili with you?" Xia Hong asked directly on the other end of the phone.
Makise gripped Itsuki's hand tightly: "Itsuki, do you want to..."
Yi Yue shook her head and said truthfully, "It's with me."
Xia Hong breathed a sigh of relief, but her voice was tinged with dissatisfaction: "I knew she was hiding here with you. Thank you, cousin, I'll be right there."
Chapter 140 Arguing
After hanging up the phone, Xia Hong said to Li Li's father beside her, "See, I guessed it right away. The kid's got wings now, running away from home, where could he go? And he even said he wanted to recognize Ling Nai's parents as his parents, what kind of talk is that?"
Lili's father said angrily, "I've been looking for her for ages. When we get home, I'll give her a good talking to."
……
“Moon…” Makise hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
Yi Yue shook her head. "Can we really keep this from them?"
After leaving the room with Makise, Lili played with Reina in Reina's room.
Lili stared at Makise and Itsuki as they entered through the door, and her gaze made Makise feel very embarrassed.
Makise forced a smile and asked Lili, "Lili, what would you like to drink?"
Lili lowered her head and said, "Did my mom call you?"
Makise didn't speak, but Itsuki said, "I just called, they're coming to pick you up right away."
Reina complained, "Dad, why did you tell them Lili is here! If Lili goes back with them, she'll definitely get beaten again." She glared angrily at Izuki.
"Reina." Makise said helplessly.
Izuki lowered her head, not daring to look at Reina.
Lili pulled Lingna's hand: "Your uncle had no choice, so don't blame her."
Rena pursed her lips, feeling sad for Lili.
About ten minutes later, the doorbell rang.
Izuki Makise went to open the door.
Xia Hong forced a smile and said, "Cousin, thank you for your trouble. Lili is such a silly child... Oh, isn't this your sister-in-law? Why didn't you let me know you were coming back? You've become even more beautiful than before."
Makise managed a forced smile.
Yi Yue said, "Come in first and we'll talk."
Lili's dad has a bad temper and really wanted to say, "Why didn't you notify us earlier that the child is with you? It made us look for her so hard."
Xia Hong tugged at Li Li's father's hand, signaling him not to get excited, and the two of them went inside.
"Sit down, let me pour you some water," Makise said.
Lili's father said, "No need. Lili, we have something to do and will be leaving soon."
"They're in the room. I'll call them down."
Izuki called them down, but Lili lowered her head, not daring to look at them. Reina glared angrily at Lili's parents.
"We've been looking for you for ages!" Xia Hong said angrily.
Lili's dad pointed at Lili's head: "I'll deal with you when we get home."
Xia Hong said to Li Li, "Aren't you going to say goodbye to your cousin and the others?"
Lili whispered, "Goodbye!"
Rena couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward, saying, "Are you going to beat Lili up again when you get home?!"
"Reina." Makise held Reina's hand.
Xia Hong was a little embarrassed: "How could that be?"
"Lili said it herself, you guys beat her all the time!" Reina shouted.
Xia Hong gave Lili a reproachful look.
Lili's father said in a deep voice, "She's disobedient, of course I'll hit her. What parent would bear to hit a child who's obedient!" His tone was harsh, revealing his long-simmering anger.
"It's wrong for parents to hit their children!" Rena said righteously.
Lili's father asked, "Have your parents never hit you?"
“No!” Rena said.
Lili's father said, "Oh, no wonder."
The implication is that it's no wonder you're so disobedient and disrespectful.
"Do I need you to teach me?" Izuki said, protecting Reina and glaring at him angrily.
"Cousin..." Xia Hong was in a dilemma.
"Get out, you're not welcome," Yi Yue said.
Lili's father glared at Yiyue and then took Lili and Xiahong out.
"Don't do that again, okay?" Itsuki said softly to Reina.
Rena lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, Dad." She already knew that her actions just now had been too extreme.
Yi Yue said, "You didn't say anything wrong, you just said it the wrong way."
“Moon.” Makise patted Izuki on the shoulder.
……
"Waaah." Lili cried in her room.
Outside the door, my parents were arguing loudly; I could hear them clearly even from inside my room.
Because of Lili's matter, they ignited a fuse that had been burning for more than a decade, and all the trivial matters were brought to light.
