"Ann, don’t step on the small footstool," Qin Sui’an’s expression turned serious.
"It’s dangerous for Ann."
"You..."
Shao Xinxin tightly clenched her fists, her mind went blank, unable to come up with any words to refute her.
Damn it! She looks foolish, but why did she suddenly become so clever at this critical moment?
Qin Sui’an was about to bypass Shao Xinxin and continue walking forward when someone suddenly grabbed her hand.
Shao Xinxin held onto her arm, glaring at her.
"Are you saying that it’s dangerous for me to step on a small footstool? Qin Sui’an, are you implying that I want to harm you?"
Qin Sui’an met her fierce gaze, her eyebrows furrowing slowly.
"Ann didn’t say that."
"You may not have said it, but that’s what you meant!"
Shao Xinxin pulled her towards the balcony and said, "Qin Sui’an, if you don’t take this little apple yourself, it will become mine from now on!"
"This was given to Ann by Grandpa and Grandma! It’s not yours!"
Qin Sui’an forcefully shook off her hand, glaring back angrily.
"Old man is right, you’re bad!"
Shao Xinxin frowned at her.
"Who is the old man?" Why on earth did an old man suddenly appear out of nowhere?
"Ann is going to find Daddy!"
Qin Sui’an ignored her question and continued to bypass her, quickening her pace towards the door of the room.
"Qin Sui’an!" Shao Xinxin stomped her foot in frustration.
She tiptoed, picked up the little apple placed on the railing, and extended it outside the balcony.
Qin Sui’an turned her head and saw the little apple in her hand.
Her cheeks puffed up with anger, and she angrily said in her childish voice, "You can reach the little apple! You deliberately made Ann go get it!"
"Yes, I did it on purpose. So what?"
Shao Xinxin smirked, provocatively looking at her, threatening, "If you leave now, I’ll throw the little apple down! It will shatter if it falls from the building!"
Diamonds are the hardest substance in nature, so a diamond little apple wouldn’t be so fragile and break.
But Shao Xinxin was betting on the fact that three-and-a-half-year-old Qin Sui’an didn’t understand anything.
"No, you can’t! You can’t harm Ann’s little apple!" Qin Sui’an clenched her little fist in desperation.
She was about to rush forward to save her little apple when she heard the old man anxiously shout at her:
"Ann, don’t go! She’s tricking you! Your little apple is made of diamond, it won’t break!"
The old man saw this scene and angrily scolded Shao Xinxin, "You little brat! How can you be so wicked?!"
Qin Sui’an’s footsteps abruptly stopped, her rosy lips pursed into a straight line, and her round eyes stared intently at the little apple in Shao Xinxin’s hand.
As soon as she heard Grandpa getting angry, she tried to comfort him in her childish voice, "Old man, don’t be angry. Ann won’t listen to her. Ann will go find Daddy."
Upon hearing Qin Sui’an mention the old man again, Shao Xinxin suddenly felt a chilling sense of foreboding.
She looked around, "Qin Sui’an, who are you talking to? Who is the old man?"
Could it be that there was something unclean in her house?
Qin Sui’an ignored her and hummed lightly.
She turned around and continued walking towards the door.
"Qin Sui’an! Stop right there!" Shao Xinxin realized she couldn’t deceive Qin Sui’an anymore, her plan had failed.
Her expression twisted with extreme anger, and a murderous intent surged in her eyes as she rushed toward Qin Sui’an.
Just as Shao Xinxin was about to grab Qin Sui’an, she felt an electric-like pain in her fingertips.
"Ah!" Shao Xinxin held her hand and took two steps back.
A dazzling light enveloped Qin Sui’an.
The bright light seemed to emanate from the silver bracelet she was wearing as if it could blind her eyes.
Shao Xinxin covered her eyes, and after a while, the light disappeared.
She looked at Qin Sui’an in astonishment, then glanced at the pair of silver bracelets on Qin Sui’an’s wrist.
What on earth is happening?!
Qin Sui’an felt the silver bracelet on her wrist becoming warm.
She touched it in confusion and then looked at Shao Xinxin, who was staring at her in shock.
The old man also saw the light protecting Ann. He widened his eyes in surprise.
"This...I knew it! Those silver bracelets are extraordinary!"
Just at that moment, a commotion came from downstairs, accompanied by the familiar sound of geese honking.
Qin Sui’an’s ears twitched lightly, followed by a gleam in her round eyes as she exclaimed with joy, "Grandpa and Grandma are here! The big white goose is here too!"
Without further delay, she hurriedly dashed out of Shao Xinxin’s room on her little short legs.
Shao Xinxin suddenly snapped back to reality, her expression flustered.
Did her grandpa and grandma really come?
She glanced down at the diamond apple in her hand and hastily found a place to hide it.
Just as Shao Xinxin finished concealing the diamond apple and was about to leave the room with Qin Sui’an, she abruptly halted her steps.
No, if she followed Qin Sui’an out of the room now and Qin Sui’an mentioned everything that had just happened to her family, knowing how doting they were towards Qin Sui’an, they would retaliate against her and make her suffer!
After a few seconds of calmness, Shao Xinxin’s gaze shifted towards the balcony railing.
Seemingly having made a significant decision, she took a deep breath and strode purposefully towards the balcony.
**
The dark green Rolls-Royce came to a stop at the entrance of the Shao residence.
The bodyguard circled around the back of the car and respectfully opened the rear door.
In the next second, a pure big white goose leaped out from the back seat.
The big white goose flapped its wings anxiously, its tiny eyes scanning the surroundings.
"Ga, ga!" The goose caught a whiff of Ann’s scent! Ann must be nearby! Without waiting for anyone else, nor for the Shao family servants to open the iron gate in front, the big white goose agilely squeezed through the gap between the iron bars and rushed into the villa.
"Ga, ga!" Don’t be afraid, Ann, I have arrived!
Qin Huo, leaning on his cane, stepped out of the back seat and immediately spotted the big white goose barging into the Shao family’s residence.
He sighed helplessly, "This big white goose."
Lan Jin gazed at the big white goose with a smile in her eyes.
"It’s quite intelligent, this big white goose accompanying our Ann. It’s rather nice."
Qin Huo, with one hand on his cane and the other supporting her, helped her out of the car.
The Shao family servants arrived late, and upon seeing even the two most esteemed elders of the Qin family present, they nervously stammered, "Old Sir, Madam..."
Qin Huo glanced at the Shao residence and remarked, "I heard that our children have all come to visit the Shao family."
"President Qin, Master Fujia, Master Qianyi, and Miss An’an are also inside," the servant respectfully gestured, "Please come this way."
From inside the villa, a clamor could be heard, as if an argument had erupted.
Qin Huo and Lan Jin exchanged a glance and then proceeded toward the Shao residence.
