"Hey, Zhenting, if you keep doting on Lanlan like this, it won't be good for her." Li Wanqing shook her head. "Look at how seriously Keke and Xiaoxiao take their meals. They don't waste a single grain. They eat whatever's cooked at home. That's what good children do."
Under Shen Ning's education, Coco and Xiaoxiao are very well-behaved when eating and are not picky about food, but Dingding and Lanlan do not have such good habits.
"Mom, Lanlan is only five years old and still a child. Don't worry so much. I know what to do." Obviously, Li Zhenting didn't take it seriously and didn't want to listen.
Li Wanqing shook her head helplessly. Lanlan had many shortcomings. If she was not taught when she was young, it would be difficult to teach her well when she grew up. But her son doted on her, so she had no choice.
With her big little eyes, she looked at her daddy holding Lanlan, his voice gentle and his face full of concern. She was so sad.
She ate her meal, tears falling uncontrollably.
Shen Ning looked at Xiao Xiao and felt very sad.
After dinner, Li Zhenting really took Lanlan out to eat hand-made beef balls and beef sausage.
"Mommy, why doesn't Daddy like me?" After Shen Ning took Xiaoxiao upstairs, Xiaoxiao was depressed and asked in a low voice.
Chen Ning stroked her head and smiled: "Silly child, how could Daddy not like his own daughter, not to mention that my Xiaoxiao is so well-behaved. That's why Daddy likes Lanlan and treats her well, because Lanlan is his daughter. But Daddy doesn't know you are his daughter now, so he is not so good to you, but don't take it to heart, he will treat you well when he knows in the future."
"Okay." Xiaoxiao nodded sensibly.
Shen Ning held her in her arms, patted her back and comforted her. With her mother's comfort, Xiao Xiao quickly felt relieved.
The night is dark, with a crescent moon and stars hanging in the sky.
After the children fell asleep, Shen Ning stood on the balcony, staring blankly at the night sky with swaying tree shadows.
She remembered very clearly that when she was ten years old, she had dinner with her father Shen Deshun and Lan Feiyun, mother and daughter.
Just like today, she had her chopsticks knocked away by Shen Mei because she picked up a chicken leg. She was unwilling to accept it and replied, "You are not the only one who can eat the chicken leg." Immediately, Lan Feiyun pointed at her nose and called her a bitch.
Chen Mei cried and made a fuss.
That night, her father Shen Deshun slapped her hard in the face. The slap made her eyes full of stars. She couldn't stand steadily and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
She staggered upstairs and fell on the bed crying.
In the second half of the night, she had a headache, tinnitus, and a high fever, but no one in the house cared about her life or death. When she was delirious with fever, she thought she was dead.
Fortunately, she was strong and managed to get through it.
It was that slap that caused her headaches for more than a month. Even now, she can still feel the pain and excruciating agony whenever she thinks about it.
From then on, she no longer dared to pick up food first in that family and could only eat the leftovers.
She just doesn't want to think about the past, but even the slightest thought of it will make her suffer.
She lowered her head, her face already covered with tears.
"Why are you hiding here crying?" A man's voice came from behind.
She was startled and turned around, and Li Zhenting was already standing beside her.
"Nothing." She turned her head and wiped the tears from her face, looking at him coldly: "Mr. Li, is there anything wrong?"
"Did anyone bully you?" Li Zhenting looked at her with doubt in his eyes.
"No." Shen Ning sneered: "Boss Li, it seems that the beef balls tonight are delicious. Lanlan must be very happy eating them."
"Yes, do you want to eat too?" Li Zhenting smiled.
"I don't want to." Shen Ning said coldly, "But Mr. Li, do you think Lan Lan did the right thing tonight?"
