"I'm not playing with you," Liu Shengrui said, his tone sounding quite disdainful of Qiao Xinruo.
Qiao Xinruo: "..."
Okay, she finally understood what Liu Shengrui meant.
But dreaming of playing with her two little darlings!
Don't even think about it!
"Who wants to play with you?" Qiao Xinruo returned the disdain, still standing firmly in front of Lu Siyuan, resolutely preventing Liu Shengrui from getting close to the brother and sister.
Liu Shengrui immediately became anxious.
What is his status at home?
Even when Mo Youyou was angry, she couldn't bear to hit him hard. And Zhang Cuihua always indulged him no matter when or where. When had he ever suffered such grievances or experienced the feeling of having his requests completely rejected?
Never before had he heard of this, so for a time, Liu Shengrui couldn't accept this fact at all.
He wants to play with Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an!
He wants to swap cats!
If anyone gets in his way, he'll take them out first!
Liu Shengrui tucked the little Mimi into his arms and immediately attacked Qiao Xinruo, flapping his little arms and hitting her repeatedly while shouting and yelling to vent his dissatisfaction and anger.
"I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death—"
"Let's play!"
"I want to play!"
Liu Shengrui was like a mad dog, making Qiao Xinruo frown. But she wasn't the type to be foolish enough to "take a beating." She couldn't directly retaliate against Liu Shengrui, but stopping him from continuing his nonsense and controlling his arm was the right thing to do.
"Who are you going to kill? You?" Qiao Xinru grabbed Liu Shengrui's arms with both hands, preventing him from swinging his arms at her like a madman.
Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an were stunned when Liu Shengrui hit their aunt, and then they got angry!
This person is so annoying!
"You're not allowed to hit my aunt!" Lu Siyuan stepped out from behind Qiao Xinruo and accused her, "You have no manners at all!"
"Exactly!" Although Lu Si'an didn't dare to stand up like her brother, she hugged the milk tightly and peeked out from behind her aunt. "You're rude, we won't play with you!"
“Yes, I’m not playing with you!” Lu Siyuan repeated.
Even the milk in Lu Si'an's arms let out a timely "meow," as if repeating its owner's meaning and rejecting Liu Shengrui's advances.
Liu Shengrui was extremely anxious after being rejected.
Unlike before, Qiao Xinruo's refusal only angered Liu Shengrui because she had stopped him from playing with the siblings. But now, the siblings themselves expressed their refusal, saying they didn't want to play with him, so Liu Shengrui was naturally anxious.
"Play!" Liu Shengrui was so anxious that he broke free from Qiao Xinruo's hand, but he didn't hit her anymore. Instead, he took his little cat out of his arms and explained to the brother and sister.
"Me too, I have a little Mimi!"
Let's play together!
As he spoke, Liu Shengrui handed over Xiaomi and pointed to the milk in Lu Si'an's arms, seemingly not intending to give up on exchanging the kitten.
"Let's play together!" Liu Shengrui emphasized.
"No way..." Lu Si'an quickly refused, hugging the milk even tighter, and hiding behind her aunt, afraid that Liu Shengrui would go crazy again and rush over.
“We’re not playing with you,” Lu Siyuan said. He still remembered having his face pinched and didn’t want to play with a kid who bullied him.
"See? They don't want to play with you, so hurry up and leave," Qiao Xinruo said. She didn't want to get entangled with a child, especially one she disliked.
If it weren't for the fact that she's an "adult," she would have been much less polite to Liu Shengrui long ago.
Moreover, with so many military wives present and watching, she really couldn't take action and could only try to handle the situation rationally.
"I'm not leaving, I want to play! Play!" Liu Shengrui was particularly persistent.
Once he sets his mind on something, he has to do it.
He wants to play with Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an, so he has to play with them, and no one can stop him!
"Play!" Liu Shengrui kept emphasizing.
He refused to give up and insisted on exchanging Xiaomi with Lu Si'an.
The person who took him out for a walk today was not Mo Youyou, who was at work, but Zhang Cuihua, who was out buying groceries.
Just now, Liu Shengrui was carrying Xiaomi in front, rushing forward by himself, while Zhang Cuihua could only follow behind.
When she caught up with her eldest grandson again, she saw this scene.
Naturally, Zhang Cuihua mistook Qiao Xinruo for Su Yueya and immediately became very dissatisfied with Su Yueya.
Relying on the fact that she was once Su Yueya's mother-in-law and an elder whom she had served for three years, she put on airs again, feeling that she could "teach Su Yueya a lesson".
"Crescent Moon, what are you doing?"
Zhang Cuihua rushed over to protect her angry grandson, to prevent Su Yueya from suddenly losing her temper and hitting her own grandson.
She assumed the role of an elder, as if she were still Su Yueya's mother-in-law, and began to lecture.
Are you deliberately preventing Xiao Rui from playing with your son and daughter?
"Sigh, I know there are many grudges between adults, but I won't say who was right or wrong now, since it's all in the past."
With so many military wives watching, Zhang Cuihua, still concerned about her reputation, didn't want to dredge up old grievances, as that wouldn't be good for her son. However, she could still be evasive and vague, thus creating an image of herself as sensible and portraying Su Yueya as petty.
"People always want to look forward. How much you hate me, Dekai, or Youyou is a matter between us adults. But it has nothing to do with Xiaorui. Xiaorui is just a little kid who is not even two years old and has never offended you. Why do you have to stop the children from playing together?"
“Our Xiao Rui is very well-behaved. He likes your son and daughter, so let’s all play together. We’re all family members living in the same compound, and we see each other every day. Why do you have to make things so awkward?”
"Or is it that you still can't let go of the past? Crescent Moon, one can't dwell on the past forever..."
Qiao Xinruo laughed out loud.
Come to think of it, she had never actually fought Zhang Cuihua directly, but from what she knew about her past, she knew that Zhang Cuihua was not a "reasonable" person. It was quite strange that she was being so polite and reasonable in front of her today.
It seems that this old man has also learned to adapt, to read situations and gestures, and to use different methods to achieve his goals in different scenarios.
For example, right now, Zhang Cuihua is pretending to be so reasonable just to frame Su Yueya and make people who don't know the truth misunderstand that Su Yueya is the one who is petty, disrespectful to elders, and impatient and intolerant of children.
