Chapter 126: Give Daddy Another Chance

~7 min read 1,324 words

After dinner, Yanbao seemed to have some secret to tell the other two little ones, so he grabbed them and ran straight upstairs.

The three little ones went to Mobai's bedroom together.

Yanbao closed the door and carefully locked it, then looked at Mobai with excitement and asked, "Mobai! Do you feel like Daddy and Mommy's relationship seems to have gotten a little better?"

Mobai had just been pondering this very thing, and upon hearing this, he nodded immediately: "I felt it too. Daddy used to always be fierce toward Mommy, but he hasn't been these past two days!"

No sooner had his voice fallen than his little arm was pinched by a small hand.

"Brother Mobai! Do you want Daddy and Mommy to make up too!"

Tiantian looked at the two brothers in front of her with some dissatisfaction, her little mouth pouting high.

Yanbao was taken aback upon hearing this.

Mobai's expression was even more awkward.

How could he have forgotten that his younger sister had never liked Daddy...

But Yanbao had always hoped that Daddy and Mommy would make up!

Which side should he really stand on?

Mobai furrowed his little brows, his expression looking somewhat troubled.

Yanbao also noticed the little girl's mood and asked cautiously: "Tiantian... don't you want Daddy and Mommy to make up? That way we would be a real family..."

"But I don't like Daddy!"

Tiantian retorted without hesitation: "Even if we don't live together, we are still a family! I would rather be with Mommy and go back to the Base to live with Godmother!"

"Then... then do you really not want Daddy anymore?" Yanbao paused, thinking of the message Tiantian had sent that morning.

He had originally thought it was just an angry remark, but he hadn't expected that it seemed real now.

Tiantian indeed shook her head heavily right away.

"It doesn't matter if I don't want him! He isn't good to Mommy! He doesn't deserve to be my daddy at all!"

The little girl was puffed up with anger, and after she finished speaking, she recounted everything she had heard that night.

Mobai and Yanbao both fell silent and exchanged a glance, their little faces both looking conflicted.

"Daddy was indeed a bit excessive... but Daddy hasn't been fierce to Mommy again these past two days! Tiantian, will you please give Daddy one more chance?"

Yanbao didn't want to give up just like that; he whispered a plea and tugged on Mobai's sleeve.

Mobai blinked, his little expression also somewhat conflicted.

He had also disliked Daddy very much before, but ever since he was saved by Daddy and had lived here for a few days, he felt that Daddy didn't seem as bad as he had imagined; it was just that he always argued with Mommy...

But what if the two of them could really make up?

Then the family could really be together!

Mobai's thoughts drifted toward Yanbao's side before he knew it, and he couldn't help but speak up to persuade her: "Tiantian, just pretend you're staying here to keep us company, and then... observe Daddy a bit more, is that okay?"

With both brothers pleading, the little girl didn't rush to refuse this time.

She pondered for two seconds, snorted coldly, and turned to the sofa on the side.

"For the sake of you two, I'll stay here for now!"

Tiantian agreed helplessly, keeping all her complaints to herself.

Anyway, she was only staying for her brothers' sake!

As for how that stinky daddy was, she didn't care at all!

On the other side.

Jiang Baobao was staying in her room, heavy with worries.

She stood by the window, her fingers gently picking at the phone in her palm as she stared blankly.

She had already had someone investigate the affairs of the Jiang Family company...

Wanting to help Grandma and her uncle take back the Jiang Family was likely not something that could be accomplished in a short time.

And then there was her uncle's illness; if her uncle had really been receiving continuous treatment...

Jiang Baobao's brows were tightly locked; she always felt something was not quite right.

Logically speaking, when a person is sick,

they would only persist in using medication and seeing a doctor regularly if it could be cured.

If it couldn't be cured at all, there would be no need to waste time and money.

Her uncle's illness looked very serious, and Grandma said her uncle went for check-ups regularly, but why had there been no improvement at all for five whole years?

And the Doctor hadn't given up on the treatment?

No matter how Jiang Baobao thought about it, it felt strange; after pondering for a moment, she made a call to Cai Xiaotang.

Hearing the call connect, she went straight to the point and asked: "Xiao Tang, do you know any brilliant brain specialists?"

"Brain specialist? Why are you asking about this?" Cai Xiaotang's voice carried confusion.

Jiang Baobao sighed helplessly.

"I saw my grandma and uncle on the road a couple of days ago..."

She briefly told Cai Xiaotang about the Jiang Family's situation.

No sooner had her voice fallen than she heard a bang from the other side!

Cai Xiaotang slammed the table hard, her palm going numb, and she cursed like a machine gun: "Could they be any more shameless? Making others live in a dilapidated Flower Room while putting on the airs of a living Bodhisattva? How are they not ashamed! Back then they occupied your parents' assets and let you go to a school full of hoodlums without caring, and now they've actually reached their hands into the entire Jiang Family! Aren't they afraid of being struck by lightning when they walk outside?"

"Cough... Xiao Tang... please calm down first..."

Jiang Baobao listened to her crazy output and was instantly caught between laughter and tears.

She then slowly explained: "I suspect there's a problem with my uncle's car accident, but first I have to find a way to get him medical care. As for the Jiang Family side... to put it nicely, they are taking care of him, but in reality, they have him under house arrest and have also controlled Grandma. I have to find a way to slowly maneuver around them..."

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but sigh, and after two seconds of silence, she said somewhat hesitantly: "I do seem to know a brain specialist; he was a classmate of my brother's. I'll go back this weekend and find a way to arrange for you to meet."

"Alright, I won't stand on ceremony with you then; I'll treat you to a meal when I get back!" Jiang Baobao said, a hint of a smile finally appearing on her face.

Hanging up the phone, Cai Xiaotang tossed it aside, yet she still felt a tightness in her chest.

That family of Xia Huiya is just too outrageous!

They practically have "insatiable greed" written all over their faces!

Cai Xiaotang rolled her eyes at the ceiling, speechless, and decided to go get something to eat to change her mood.

The next second, however, she heard her phone ring again.

She picked up the phone casually, and seeing the three characters "Mu Liusu" on the screen, a flash of surprise crossed her expression before she pressed the speakerphone and tossed it aside.

"Xiao Tang, where are you right now?"

A lazy male voice came from the phone.

Cai Xiaotang sat back down on the sofa and replied nonchalantly, "I'm away on a business trip. You big busybody, how did you suddenly think of me?"

Mu Liusu chuckled softly, then said in a low voice, "It's you who never takes the initiative to contact me, right? Dad has arranged a blind date for you; when will you have time?"

"A blind date?"

Cai Xiaotang was so shocked that she jumped up from the sofa instantly.
