Chapter 107: We Need to Punish Daddy a Little

~7 min read 1,372 words

Jiang Baobao pondered for two seconds, and the answer appeared in her heart instantly.

Not a chance.

How could Li Beijue be that kind-hearted?

She opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but she couldn't bear to shatter the little girl's beautiful fantasy.

After two seconds of silence, she then stroked her little head and said, "Not necessarily, but if Tiantian wants anything, Mommy will go buy it for you tomorrow!"

"Yay! Mommy is the best!" The little girl laughed happily in an instant.

The two talked for a while longer, and then a servant came to the door.

Jiang Baobao gave Mobai and Yanbao a few instructions before carrying the little girl away.

She had assumed she would be staying on the same floor as Mobai and Yanbao, but she hadn't expected the servant to lead them directly downstairs to the first-floor corridor.

Jiang Baobao scanned the surrounding rooms and couldn't help but frown.

If she remembered correctly... these were supposed to be the rooms for the servants...

Just as she was thinking this, she heard the servant who had brought them there say in a low voice, "Miss Jiang, the other guest rooms have furniture; only this one is still fit for living. I'm afraid you'll have to make do."

Jiang Baobao sneered in her heart.

Which guest room didn't have furniture?

Did Li Beijue think she was as easy to fool as a three-year-old?

Forget it...

For the sake of Mobai and Yanbao, staying here for a while wouldn't be the end of the world.

Anyway, she would take all three children and leave sooner or later!

Jiang Baobao didn't say anything more; she thanked the servant, held Tiantian, and pushed the door open to go inside.

It was just that...

"Mommy... it's so small here... it's not even as big as my room at home..."

As soon as Tiantian entered, she whispered a complaint, though she didn't seem truly dissatisfied.

The space here was cramped.

A narrow single bed could barely accommodate one adult and one child; the sheets were clean, but there was no soft mattress.

To the side was a desk and a simple wardrobe.

Even the window was just a small, square pane.

Other than that, there was nothing else.

Jiang Baobao stroked the little girl's head with a heart full of pity, closed the door behind her, and a cold smile appeared at the corners of her lips.

This wasn't just a servant's room.

It was also the smallest one!

To specifically arrange for her to stay here, that bastard Li Beijue really went to great lengths to make things difficult for her!

It was just that Tiantian had done nothing wrong, yet she had to suffer here with her...

Jiang Baobao cursed Li Beijue one hundred and eight times in her heart.

There was no private bathroom here to bathe in.

She had no choice but to take Tiantian to the public restroom to wash up briefly.

Back in the room, the little girl looked at the interior, which was a world of difference from upstairs, and suddenly pouted, asking, "Mommy, does Daddy dislike me very much?"

Jiang Baobao was slightly stunned and instinctively asked back, "Baby, why would you suddenly ask that?"

"Because the brothers have big rooms! But Mommy and I can only stay here; the room is tiny, the bed is tiny, and there are no toys..."

Tiantian spoke with the seriousness of a little adult, and after finishing, she didn't forget to add, "And today when I picked food for Daddy! He glared at me! He really, really dislikes me! I can tell!"

The little girl complained about Li Beijue with dissatisfaction, her little head unable to wrap itself around the situation.

When they first met, Daddy was clearly very gentle!

How could he be so hateful now!

Jiang Baobao sighed in her heart, not knowing how to explain it for the moment.

Li Beijue still didn't know Tiantian's true identity... that was why he was like this...

She pondered for two seconds, then picked the little girl up and explained with a smile, "Because the brothers are little men and need to grow tall, that's why they need big rooms! But Tiantian is a little princess, so the room should be a little smaller. Besides, with Mommy here, Tiantian doesn't need toys, right?"

Jiang Baobao's explanation was very convincing, coaxing the little girl into a smile.

Tiantian finally stopped dwelling on the room, but she shook her little fist and said with dissatisfaction, "Whether it's a big room or a small room, I dislike Daddy just the same!"

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but shake her head in amusement, but then she suddenly thought of something.

Since Tiantian was staying here now, she had to be careful about how she addressed Li Beijue!

If Li Beijue found out that Tiantian was also his child, he would definitely use any means necessary to snatch her away!

Just thinking about it made Jiang Baobao feel a wave of palpitations.

She pondered for two seconds, then suddenly took hold of Tiantian's little hand seriously and whispered, "Baby, don't call him Daddy anymore from now on; call him Uncle, okay?"

"Uncle? Why? How did Daddy become an Uncle?"

Tiantian tilted her little head in confusion.

Jiang Baobao didn't want her to know too much, so she had a sudden flash of inspiration and explained with a smile, "Because he made our little princess angry! So we have to punish him! We'll make him an Uncle for now!"

"Okay! Bad Daddy deserves to be punished! I'll call him Uncle from now on!"

The little girl raised both hands in support of this suggestion.

Jiang Baobao pinched her little nose in amusement, finally feeling at ease.

This should be fine...

Mobai and Yanbao looked identical, so she had no way around that, but Tiantian looked very similar to her, so she could be disguised!

She absolutely must not be discovered again!

……

Evening.

Jiang Baobao tidied up with Tiantian and prepared to sleep, but the little girl clamored to go upstairs to find her brothers and listen to stories together.

Jiang Baobao had no choice but to agree helplessly.

The three little ones lay on Yanbao's bed together, listening to Jiang Baobao tell stories, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Watching them all sleeping soundly, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but reach out her finger and trace it across each little one's small face.

If all three of them were by her side... how wonderful that would be.

It is just a pity...

Jiang Baobao sighed in her heart.

She tucked the quilt in for Yanbao and carried Mobai back to his room.

Only then did she finally take Tiantian and return to the small room downstairs.

Looking at the little girl sleeping with a serene expression, Jiang Baobao did not have a shred of sleepiness.

She sat by the bedside for a while, then suddenly thought of the events of the day.

What exactly had Grandmother and the youngest uncle experienced over these years?

How could the youngest uncle have suddenly become mentally impaired?

Jiang Baobao thought about it, pondered for two seconds, then took her phone and went to the corridor outside.

Because she was afraid of disturbing the little girl sleeping in the room, she walked a bit further away with her phone.

Finding a quiet corner in the living room, she then dialed a number.

Hearing the call connect, she immediately said: "Go and investigate what has happened to the Jiang Family in the past few years; the more detailed, the better. Tell me as soon as you find out."

The living room was quiet for a moment.

The person on the phone said something, and Jiang Baobao suddenly frowned.

She then commanded: "Don't ask so much, just do as I say."

There was no room for negotiation in Jiang Baobao's tone, and after speaking, she hung up the phone directly.

She did not rush to leave, however, but instead looked silently out the window.

She did not know why, but ever since stepping into the Li Mansion, her heart had not been able to calm down for a single moment.
