Chapter 172: If You Bully Mommy Again, We're Leaving

Jiang Baobao felt a sharp pain suddenly shoot through her lower leg.

Her brows twitched violently, and she subconsciously looked down, only to see a stream of bright red blood slowly flowing down from her lower leg.

The floor was already in a state of disarray and a complete mess.

There had been a vase on the cabinet used for decoration; just now, as Jiang Baobao grabbed the cabinet, the vase naturally fell off and shattered all over the floor.

The broken porcelain shards had directly sliced into her lower leg!

Li Beijue also seemed to have his nerves stimulated by that red color, and he abruptly let go of his hand.

The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly reached a stalemate.

Jiang Baobao took a deep breath, unable to find the words to describe her current mood.

"Li Beijue."

She spoke in a low voice, her tone icy as she slowly continued: "You know in your heart what you have done. The children are not fools. If you truly hadn't made them sad and upset, then even if I really wanted to sow discord between you, it would be impossible to succeed!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard a series of thumping footsteps coming from the stairs not far away.

The next second, the figures of the three little ones quickly appeared in the hallway.

They had heard the sound of a heavy object hitting the floor while upstairs, so they had run down at full speed.

Seeing the mess clearly, the three little ones all widened their eyes in surprise.

"Mommy! Your leg is hurt!" Tiantian was the first to spot the bloodstain on Jiang Baobao's fair lower leg and ran over in a panic.

Mobai and Yanbao also hurried to catch up, both stepping in front of Jiang Baobao.

"Who told you to bully my mommy again!"

Mobai darkened his little face and turned abruptly to glare at Li Beijue, his eyes filled with undisguised disgust and even a trace of faint hatred, his fists clenched tightly.

Li Beijue was slightly stunned, a sharp pain suddenly piercing his heart.

No one could remain unaffected when glared at like that by their own children.

Yanbao also kept a cold face; although he didn't throw a tantrum like Mobai, his tone lacked its usual cuteness, and he asked icily: "Daddy, why is Mommy hurt?"

Li Beijue opened his mouth, but meeting the gazes of the two little ones, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

The next second, he heard Mobai say viciously: "Daddy, if you bully Mommy again, Tiantian and I will not stay here anymore!"

Li Beijue's expression turned stern, his look instantly becoming sharp.

Mobai's aura was not to be outdone; after dropping that sentence, he pulled Jiang Baobao and turned back toward the room.

"Bang!"

The door slammed shut fiercely in front of Li Beijue.

For the first time in his life, Li Beijue had a door slammed in his face like this, and for a moment, he stood where he was, unable to collect his thoughts.

Had he just been threatened by a five-year-old child?

Li Beijue took a deep breath, the anger in his eyes erupting completely, the veins on the back of his hands standing out.

He stared expressionlessly at the door in front of him for a long while before turning and striding away.

Returning to the study, he remembered that his computer was still being controlled by Mobai, and he couldn't do anything at all.

Li Beijue felt irritable, and suddenly, he reached out and threw the documents on the desk onto the floor!

With a "swish," the snow-white documents scattered in the air and slowly landed on the ground.

Yet, the violence in Li Beijue's heart did not subside in the slightest.

Just then—

He suddenly heard his phone ring.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and he patiently glanced at the caller ID, discovering it was a call from Gu Ruohan.

He pondered for two seconds and answered it casually.

"Hello? President Li, are you busy right now?"

Gu Ruohan's somewhat annoying voice came from the other end of the line.

Li Beijue had no interest in listening to his nonsense; he held his patience and replied in a low voice: "Speak if you have something to say."

"Oh, you seem to be in a bad mood. Who provoked you again?" Gu Ruohan was all too familiar with this tone of his and asked teasingly.

Li Beijue did not speak, his deep eyes flashing with a dark light, bottomless.

On the other end of the phone, Gu Ruohan shivered for no reason.

Oh no... this ancestor seems to be in a really bad mood; I'd better be careful...

Gu Ruohan hurriedly adjusted his emotions before asking seriously: "I just called to show some concern about Yanbao's mental state lately. Is he doing okay?"

"Mm," Li Beijue responded faintly.

Both people on either end of the phone fell into silence.

Gu Ruohan held his phone, wanting to find a topic but not knowing what to say, yet not daring to hang up rashly, feeling miserable inside.

Why on earth did he have a lapse in judgment and call Li Beijue when he had nothing better to do?

Now look, he had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own feet!

Gu Ruohan took a deep breath and then bit the bullet, tentatively asking: "Then... what are you in a bad mood about? Why not tell me? Maybe I can help you resolve your worries?"

Li Beijue did not speak.

Gu Ruohan subconsciously held his breath, waiting for his reply.

Just when he thought Li Beijue might hang up the phone directly—

Li Beijue suddenly asked: "How much do you know about the psychology of young children?"

"Huh?" Gu Ruohan was stunned by his question before answering: "I do understand psychological issues, and if you're talking about their thoughts... I suppose I understand a little. Are you and Yanbao having a conflict?"

"Mm, I suppose so," Li Beijue responded faintly, followed by another long silence.

After a while, he recounted everything that had happened today.

Gu Ruohan only listened to half of it before feeling a headache.

"Big Brother, I have discovered that your way of thinking has entered a misunderstanding."

After hearing Li Beijue finish speaking, Gu Ruohan immediately reached a conclusion.

"A misunderstanding?" Li Beijue was somewhat puzzled.

Gu Ruohan immediately revealed an expression of being disappointed that they could not live up to expectations, and explained helplessly: "You always feel that they are children, so their minds are immature and they will be swayed by other people's words, but you have thought about it completely wrong. Precisely because they are still young, they are the most clear about right and wrong, and they are the most capable of sensing whether a person is good or bad. Setting Mobai aside for now, Yanbao has grown up by your side since he was small; do you still not trust him? Would he dislike you because of a few words from others?"

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for an instant, and his thoughts stirred slightly.

Gu Ruohan continued to advise: "Didn't I tell you before that you need to properly cultivate your relationship with the two of them and use less of that commanding tone when speaking to them? Also, regarding this matter, you didn't even know which day was Jiang Baobao's birthday beforehand; everything was just a coincidence. Then you just need to explain it clearly; there is no need to be so quick to vent your anger on Jiang Baobao..."

As Gu Ruohan spoke, he sighed helplessly in his heart.

Pausing for two seconds, he could not help but gossip and ask: "So... have you two had any developments recently? Is there really not even a tiny bit of possibility left?"
