Chapter 235
"Zhao Zhao, come here." Chen Xinya noticed Wu Zhaozhao huddled in the corner and frowned slightly. Then she relaxed her expression, waved her hand and asked the child to come over to her in a gentle voice.
Wu Zhaozhao was a little resistant, but this was not her home and the person in front of her was not her mother. She knew she had no room for willfulness or refusal.
The little girl moved slowly and indecisively to the couple. When her wrist was held, she subconsciously struggled, but quickly loosened her grip.
Chen Xinya didn't notice the child's subtle movements. Instead, she looked up and carefully observed Wu Zhaozhao's features. Then she said to her husband, "Zhaozhao has a good foundation. She needs to take good care of herself and get her skin back to normal. She should also learn some etiquette. She will definitely be no worse than Yinyin."
"You can arrange all these." Li Gaoyang nodded in agreement, and then smiled and said to Wu Zhaozhao, who looked confused, "Zhaozhao, this will be your home from now on. Do you like it here?"
Wu Zhaozhao pursed her lips and nodded slightly under the gentle gazes of the two men.
In fact, his body was tense as he tried to prevent himself from revealing any insincere grievance or cowardice.
She didn't like this place. No matter how gentle the two uncles and aunts smiled, no matter how big the house was or how many dishes were on the table, she still didn't like it...
But she was precocious since she was young and knew how to read people's expressions. She knew that if she said she didn't like it, these two uncles and aunts might be unhappy again.
Wu Zhaozhao was a little afraid that they would look at her with that strange and dissatisfied look again.
It was just like the look in her eyes when she and Mianmian were comparing two stickers in the store and choosing between them when she was coming home from school.
As expected, her answer made the two men relax with satisfaction. Chen Xinya raised her hand to touch her daughter's hair, and the next second they were discussing what kind of hair care to do for her. Then Wu Zhaozhao felt like a broken doll. In the eyes of these two adults, her whole body needed to be sent to the repair shop for repair and replacement.
Li Gaoyang still remembered that the child said at the dinner table that he would go to school the next day. When the atmosphere was harmonious, he said to his wife: "I will ask my assistant to change the schools of the two children as soon as possible. Ayin... It's good that Ayin went back. I thought she was too willful and liked to throw tantrums. She didn't seem like our child. Now she's back. She's our own child. If we teach her well, she won't be like that again."
"As for the two children's household registration and the things my family bought for Ayin, I'll ask my assistant to deliver them to the Wu family sometime. There's no need for our two families to contact each other anymore. After all, they're only five or six years old now and are beginning to understand things. If the two families get entangled with each other in the future, it will be a lot of trouble."
Listening to her husband's words, Chen Xinya nodded in agreement: "Yes, and those photos of me and Yinyin at home... I will ask Sister Li to put them all away. We will educate Zhaozhao well in the future. In fact, I would like to change her name, but after all, we have called her that for so many years, it is not good to change it suddenly."
She originally wanted to throw away all the photos and traces of Li Yin's life, but after all, she had raised her child for five or six years, so she secretly wanted to keep some of those good memories.
It's just that both of them are busy with their careers, and usually the child is taken care of by a nanny. Apart from arranging various courses for the child and providing a good material environment, the most time they spend with the child is when they go home to see her during work breaks. If they have enough time, they will have a meal with her. If not, they will hug her and coax her for a while before leaving in a hurry.
So when they think about it carefully, they really don't have that much affection for Yinyin, especially after they learned that the child was not their biological child, they even had a subtle feeling of "as expected" in their hearts.
But after all, the biological child was not raised by oneself. If one wants to turn her from an ugly duckling into a white swan, one must spend more time and effort.
In front of Wu Zhaozhao, the couple pointed out all the points about the child that did not meet the requirements. Later, when Wu Zhaozhao was still confused, they assigned her many courses, striving to transform her image as quickly as possible and get rid of her original roughness and pettiness.
At this time, the servant who was responsible for cleaning the bedroom where Li Yin originally lived came down with a stack of things and placed them on the low table in front of the two of them.
"Miss, please leave these as well." After she said that, she silently observed Wu Zhaozhao, who was particularly reserved and even cautious. She silently sighed in her heart that she didn't know whether this child was lucky or unlucky, and shook her head secretly and stepped back.
She had worked in many host families, but the couple in the Li family seemed to be the easiest to get along with, but were actually the most difficult to get along with. Although they always communicated with people with a smile, they actually had extremely high requirements for everything. If they noticed anything that did not meet the standards, they would have a talk with them and have their salary deducted.
In the past, she only thought that smiling but hiding a dagger was an adjective, but since working in the Li family, she found that this word was almost reserved for the Li family.
The only one who does not fit this adjective is Li Yin, who is always said to be "out of line" by the couple. Turns out... Li Yin is not their biological child. Who wouldn't sigh when seeing this?
Chen Xinya had no idea what the servant was thinking, and was staring in a daze at the stack of bank cards and various expensive children's accessories.
Perhaps she didn't expect Li Yin to leave these things behind. Her expression was a little complicated. After a while, she let out a breath and said slowly: "After all, we have raised this child for so many years. If there is a chance in the future, we should take care of their family a little. That Wu Wan...is disabled. I'm afraid Yin Yin will suffer a lot when she returns."
When the "materialist" label was removed from Li Yin, she felt that the image of her daughter had become better, and the long-delayed worry finally emerged in her heart.
Li Gaoyang nodded slightly. It was not impossible to take care of them. Although it seemed that his family would suffer the most from exchanging the two children, Li Yin left the money and Wu Wan refused Zhao Zhao's child support. They were not the kind of people who would seek repayment for a favor.
Wu Zhaozhao finally heard a familiar name in so many strange conversations that made her uncomfortable. Her eyes lit up slightly, and she quickly mustered up the courage to ask, "Uncle... do you know when my mother will come to pick me up?"
What answered her was the slightly gloomy and dissatisfied looks of the couple.
Wu Zhaozhao: “…”
She realized something, and the light in her eyes dimmed little by little. She lowered her head and listened to what they said, "This is your real home" and "We are your parents".
In fact, she had heard it many times. No matter how dumb she was, she had some guesses in her mind. The tears her mother shed when she was separated from her, and the child who had clearly gone home with her but didn't come back with her...
Wu Zhaozhao vaguely knew that her life would never go back from the moment she got on the bus, but she didn't understand, not at all.
Why is my mother suddenly not my mother anymore?
Why did the uncles and aunts I had never met become my parents?
Why would my mother give herself to someone else and take other children home?
There were so many whys, and neither my mother nor the kindergarten teacher gave any answers to the questions.
So many people who were unwilling to believe turned into grievances and fears in the silence and dissatisfaction of the Li couple.
Until Chen Xinya said angrily: "I am your mother, you have my blood in your body, I went through so much hardship to give birth to you after ten months of pregnancy, how come you just can't understand?"
Li Gaoyang also said in a deep voice: "Zhao Zhao, Daddy understands that you are not used to it when you first came home, but you must remember in the future that we are your parents. You must be obedient and can't call us uncle or aunt anymore, understand?"
You have to listen...
When Wu Zhaozhao thought of the words her mother cried and warned her when they separated, she could no longer hold back her tears. She shook off Chen Xinya's hand, broke down and cried, saying that she wanted to go home.
Go back to the home where there is only me and my mother.
She didn't want to stay in this place at all and didn't like these strange and scary people at all!
But her breakdown and her appeals were doomed to produce no results.
Chen Xinya rubbed her forehead with a headache. She was too busy and seldom participated in the process of raising children. However, Li Yin grew up in such an environment. She and her husband did not have to worry about many things because of her words and deeds. But Zhao Zhao, who had just been brought back, needed to start from scratch.
Thinking about what the old lady had said before that it didn't matter whether the baby was a boy or a girl, as long as they were brought up well, and how her second brother and his wife were always sarcastic about Li Yin being a girl, Chen Xinya thought about the shares and property that were completely in the hands of the old lady, and finally made up her mind. After Wu Zhaozhao was taken away by Sister Li to be coaxed, she discussed with her husband Li Gaoyang the feasibility of temporarily putting down their work and participating in raising their daughter.
"It's not too late to start training now. Five or six years old is the age when he is a little sensible but not very memorable. You are also aware of the results of the previous physical examination... It is impossible for us to have another child. Zhao Zhao appeared at just the right time. We have to start all over again. The better we raise Zhao Zhao, the more we can take care of my second brother and others after the old lady passes away."
She said this tactfully and with emotional intelligence. What does it mean to take care of the second brother? Of course, only when you have enough capital to occupy an absolutely high position, you are qualified to say "take care".
Li Gaoyang thought of his medical examination form from a while ago, and clenched his fingers holding the water cup slightly, then nodded in agreement: "You have always been more thoughtful than me, so let's do as you say. After all, this is our only child, and we must let her get close to us slowly. We can't let her develop Ayin's personality. It will be too late to regret it then. It's a good time to pay more attention to the child and cultivate our relationship now."
At the same time, in another bedroom, nanny Li Wen held the child who was crying breathlessly in her arms, sighed distressedly, lowered her head to help her wipe the tears from her face little by little, and patted her back. Amid Wu Zhaozhao's unstoppable sobbing, she coaxed her in a low voice: "Zhaozhao, be good, don't cry. What if you keep crying and damage your eyes? If that happens, your mother will definitely be very distressed, right?"
Wu Zhaozhao sobbed and couldn't utter a complete sentence. She could only listen to the aunt slowly coaxing her and saying to her: "Zhaozhao, don't make your new parents angry. You are still just a child now, and children can't be more stubborn than adults. So if you want to live a good life, you must learn to be obedient and sweet-talk them. Then when you grow up and want to do something, they will naturally not be able to control you..."
Li Wen knew that her words might be too realistic, and the host family would certainly not be happy to hear such "provocation", but she raised Li Yin herself, and seeing that the two members of the host family were indifferent to the child, she knew that if this newly adopted child confronted them again, he would probably suffer more.
She was a soft-hearted person, especially when she thought about Miss Yinyin going back to live a more ordinary life, she couldn't tell whether she felt relieved or distressed and worried, but she also felt distressed and sympathetic for this innocent child whose life was also replaced.
In short, take care of them as much as you can. It is better than watching a family quarreling and adjusting, with the adults feeling uneasy and the children frightened.
I just don't know if Miss Zhao Zhao can listen to me...
I don’t know whether Miss Yinyin can adapt to the new family and whether she will suffer.
From her observation, in these two families, the soft-hearted ones are particularly soft-hearted, while the cold-hearted ones are particularly cold-hearted. However, the most innocent and pitiful ones are these two children.
