Before noon.

Around 11 am, Fen Zhou City Party Committee Family Quarters.

The taxi stopped at the entrance, and Dong Xuebing got out of the taxi. He carried the health supplement in his arms and looked at the building. He clenched his teeth and went up the stairs slowly. He got to face the music, and after Sister Xu’s consolation, he felt better.

Alright.

I will face any punishment as what I did was wrong.

Dong Xuebing took a deep breath before pressing the doorbell.

Ding dong… ding dong…. The door opened, and Xie Huilan appeared.

“You are back.” Xie Huilan said.

“Yes.” Dong Xuebing looked inside the apartment and asked softly. “Where is Mum?”

“She is in the room.” Xie Huilan opened the door to let Dong Xuebing come in. “Hehe… did you miss me?”

“How can I don’t miss you?” Dong Xuebing rolled his eyes. “But I miss my Mum more. Huilan, is Mum still angry with me?”

“What do you think?” Xie Huilan pointed towards the bedroom.

Qu Yunxuan walked out of the kitchen. “Xiao Bing?”

Dong Xuebing replied. “Aunt Xuan, are you cooking lunch?”

Qu Yunxuan nodded and sked. “It was raining yesterday. Did you get caught in the rain? Come over and let me see.”

Dong Xuebing waved his arms. “I am fine.”

Qu Yunxuan examined Dong Xuebing and stroked his arms lovingly.

Xie Huilan narrowed his eyes. “Yunxuan, you are spoiling him.”

Qu Yunxuan looked at Xie Huilan. “I am speechless about you. How can you be so uncaring about him? What if he falls sick?”

Xie Huilan laughed. “He is an adult, and it’s not bad for him to experience such sufferings.”

Qu Yunxuan disagreed with Xie Huilan. “How can you be so heartless? I cannot allow him to suffer.”

Xie Huilan laughed. “Trust me. I am more concerned about him. It’s only the way I show my concern is different.”

Dong Xuebing saw Xie Huilan and Qu Yunxuan were about to quarrel and quickly stepped in. “Ah, Huilan, Yunxuan, can you two don’t quarrel? Please help me please my mother first.”

Xie Huilan smiled. “We are not arguing.”

Qu Yunxuan added. “We are chatting. When did we quarrel?”

Fine…. I am the bad guy now.

Dong Xuebing looked at them. “I… I will see Mum now. You two can carry on.”

“Go.” Qu Yunxuan pointed toward the bedroom and said softly. “Sister Luan is inside. You must watch what you say and give in to her.”

Dong Xuebing nodded. “I know.”

Xie Huilan reminded Dong Xuebing. “You must lower your position.”

“Yes. I am going in now.” Dong Xuebing knocked on the door and entered the room.

Bedroom.

Luan Xiaoping was carrying Little Qianqian on the bed with her back facing the door. Dong Xuebing could not see her expression and was nervous. “Mum.”

Luan Xiaoping did not move or look at him.

Dong Xuebing walked over with a smile and put down the health supplement. “Mum, I know you are angry with me. I am sorry. I bought some health supplements for you. You must take care of your health.”

Luan Xiaoping scolded. “I think you are trying to kill me.”

Dong Xuebing panicked. “What are you saying? How can I be trying to kill you?”

“Get out. Did I allow you to come back?”

“Mum, I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”

“Get out! I don’t have a son like you.”

Little Qianqian woke up from her nap and started crying.

Luan Xiaoping hugged Little Qianqian in her arms. “Oh… stop crying…. My precious granddaughter.”

Little Qianqian seemed to understand her and started to calm down.

Dong Xuebing was surprised. Mum had scolded him for having a child with Aunt Xuan. But now, she is very concerned with Little Qianqian. He patted his mother’s arm lightly. “Mum, look at your granddaughter. She wants you to forgive me.”

Luan Xiaoping continued to cuddle Little Qianqian and ignored Dong Xuebing. “My precious girl…. Stop crying.”

“Mum.”

“Don’t talk to me.”

“My daughter is here. Can you don’t embarrass me?”

“You don’t want to embarrass yourself?! Then why did you do such these?! Huh?!” Luan Xiaoping got mad again.

Dong Xuebing wiped the sweat on his forehead. “I made a mistake, but it had happened. Give me a chance to turn over a new leaf. Furthermore, how can you have such a cute granddaughter if I was not with Aunt Xuan? Right?”

Luan Xiaoping kept quiet.

Dong Xuebing pinched Little Qianqian’s cheeks. “Qianqian, say something for your Dad. Help me plead with your Granny.”

Luan Xiaoping pushed Dong Xuebing’s hand away. “Stop it! How can you pinch her so hard?”

Dong Xuebing argued. “I did not use any strength. Here, give me Qianqian. Let me try to cheer her up.”

Luan Xiaoping gave Dong Xuebing a stare. “Do you know how to take care of children? You only know how to get into fights.”

“Let me carry her if you don’t believe. She will stop crying when I carry her.” Dong Xuebing boasted.

Luan Xiaoping scolded. “Get lost. You will drop her.”

Dong Xuebing was speechless. His mother refused to let go of Qianqian and liked her very much.

After a while, Xie Huilan entered the room. “Mum, Haha…. Lunch is ready.”

Luan Xiaoping’s attitude towards Xie Huilan was different from Dong Xuebing’s. She nodded. “Alright. Let’s have lunch together with Yunxuan.” She kissed Little Qianqian’s forehead. “Let’s go and have lunch.”

Xie Huilan smiled and said to Dong Xuebing. “Look at Mum. She had been carrying my goddaughter since yesterday.”

Luan Xiaoping looked apologetically at Xie Huilan and held her hand. “Huilan, I…. Sigh…. My son had failed you.” To her, Xie Huilan was her daughter-in-law, but she had been carrying Yunxuan’s daughter. She was afraid Huilan might be angry.

Xie Huilan waved her hand. “Don’t say this. Yunxuan and I had talked about this. Qianqian is my goddaughter.”

Luan Xiaoping continued. “Don’t worry. I will not let brat off lightly.”

Qu Yunxuan took out the food from the kitchen. “Sister Luan, why is Qianiqan crying?”

Luan Xiaoping glanced at Dong Xuebing. “Her father made her cry.”

Dong Xuebing grumbled in his heart. You are the one who shouted and woke her. How come it’s my fault now?

Qu Yunxuan quickly carried her daughter, but she did not stop.

Xie Huilan smiled and reached out. “Here, let me try.”

Qu Yunxuan passed Qianqian to Xie Huilan carefully. “Be careful.”

Xie Huilan smiled and carried Qianqian. She looked into her eyes and rocked her gently. “Smile…. Smile for Godma…. Haha….”

Little Qianqian looked at Xie Huilan and stopped crying. She made some baby talk and started to place with her clothes.

Xie Huilan smiled and teased Little Qianqian with her fingers.

Luan Xiaoping and Dong Xuebing were surprised to see Qianqian close to Xie Huilan.

Qu Yunxuan smiled. “Look…. My daughter is closer to her godmother than me.”

Xie Huilan stroked Qianqian’s head and explained. “Haha…. It’s because you all are too concerned for this little fellow. Babies understand our facial expressions, and she will stop crying when I smile at her.

Luan Xiaoping nodded. “That’s true. Here, let me carry her.”

Dong Xuebing was speechless. “Mum, I think you are spoiling her. It’s not good for her upbringing.”

Luan Xiaoping gave Dong Xuebing a stare. “What do you know?! Who was the one who brought you up? You don’t know anything.”

Dong Xuebing surrendered. “Yes, you are right. I am wrong.”

Everyone sat at the dining table.

Luan Xiaoping should sit at the head of the table, but she insisted on carrying Little Qianqian while having lunch. She would not relent even when Qu Yunxuan and Xie Huilan talked to her.

Everyone was speechless.

During lunch, Dong Xuebing poured three glasses of Baijiu and raised his glass. “Mum, Huilan, and Yunxuan. This is a toast to you all. I know I am wrong, and I don’t dare to ask you all to forgive me. But I must drink these.”

Dong Xuebing finished the glass of Baijiu and felt his stomach hurt.

Luan Xiaoping turned to Huilan and Yunxuan. “Stop him. Don’t let him drink anymore. Bring the glasses over.”

Dong Xuebing refused and finished the second glass.

Luan Xiaoping got mad. “I said to stop drinking! It’s all in the past. No matter what you do, you are still my son. Why would I disown you?”

“Mum….” Dong Xuebing’s eyes turned red.
