Unbeknownst to them, their granddaughter had an extremely close relationship with Yan Shao's son. As a result, the little girl was always wary and hostile towards anything or anyone that might be detrimental to her.
Zhu Qianying and Bai Shao exchanged a glance, knowing that at this point, the matter could no longer be kept secret.
Zhu Qianying walked over, squatted down, and gently hugged her son.
“Baby, listen to Mommy.”
Only then did Zizai's attention shift from Zongmao and his wife to his mother's face.
"Mommy, what do they want to do?"
The little one was already a bit flustered. Facing his mother, his anxiety grew even stronger. As he spoke, his lips trembled, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Zhu Qianying felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She reached out and touched her son's head, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
“Sweetie, Aunt Xiaolu and Aunt Xiaoshao are going home with Grandpa and Grandma.”
The little guy stared wide-eyed at Zhu Qianying.
Tears welled up in her eyes and gradually filled them.
With a loud "Wah!", Zizai suddenly burst into tears, catching everyone off guard.
Tears welled up in her big eyes and streamed down her face.
Seeing her son crying so sadly, Zhu Qianying's heart broke.
Bai Xiaolu, who was also leaning against Bai Shao with a wary expression, first had tears welling up in her eyes when she heard Zizai's words. When Zizai burst into tears, her tears also streamed down her cheeks.
She hugged Bai Shao tightly, looked up at Bai Shao with her little face sobbing, and asked with her little shoulders shaking, "Mommy...do we really have to go?"
Bai Shao's eyes reddened, she took a deep breath, and reached out to wipe away her daughter's tears. "Baby, yes, we're going home with your grandpa and grandma..."
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Bai Xiaolu finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears, crying, "I don't want to... Mommy... I don't want to..."
The cries of the two little ones instantly echoed throughout the entire villa.
The usually dignified Zong Mao couple were somewhat at a loss when their two children started crying.
Bai Shao and Zhu Qianying kept coaxing the two children.
The two children cried harder and harder, and before they knew it, they were holding hands and then hugging each other and crying. The elders present were also worried because of their crying, especially Zhu Qianying and Bai Shao, whose eyes were red and they didn't know how to comfort the two children.
Bai Xiangdong, who was originally chatting with Chen Jing in the bedroom, was also startled by the crying and was pushed out by Chen Jing.
Zong Mao naturally knew Bai Xiangdong, but this was the first time he had met him, and Bai Xiangdong was the same.
The two men glanced at each other from a distance, then looked away.
Bai Xiangdong doted on Bai Xiaolu. Seeing his granddaughter crying like this, he asked Chen Jing to quickly push him over and help comfort the two children.
But for Bai Xiaolu and Zizai, unless they were told that Xiaoluzi didn't need to go with his grandparents anymore, anything they said would be a waste of time and superfluous.
So, despite the six adults present taking turns trying to persuade them, Zizai and Xiaoluzi continued to hug each other and cry loudly.
Yan Shao was outside making a phone call to Qin Xiu to give him some instructions. Because the matter was urgent, even though he could vaguely hear the two children crying one after another, he still patiently explained everything clearly. After finally hanging up the phone, he pushed open the door and hurriedly ran into the living room.
Looking at the elders and two mothers in the living room surrounding the two little ones who were crying like a burst dam, Yan Shao was also very troubled.
Even so, he still walked over, without thinking, squatted down beside the two children, opened his long arms and hugged the two children who were crying their hearts out tightly.
"Okay, stop crying, okay?"
Yan Shao gently coaxed them. Compared to Zhu Qianying and Bai Shao, his voice seemed to have a strange magic. The two little ones, who had been refusing to listen to reason, paused their crying for a moment. Yan Shao buried his face between the two little faces, rubbing one against the other. Despite being a clean freak, he didn't mind having his face covered in tears and snot from Zizai and Bai Xiaolu.
"Good boy, Zizai. You're a man, listen to Daddy, okay? Don't cry!"
After comforting his precious son, Yan Shao then rubbed his face against Xiao Luzi's cheek. "Xiao Luzi is your older sister, don't cry anymore, okay? If you keep crying, you'll become ugly!"
As if by magic, the two little ones gradually stopped crying in Yan Shao's arms.
Zhu Qianying quickly realized what was happening and went to the washroom. She brought out two wet towels, handed one to Bai Shao, and kept the other for herself. She separated the two children who had been crying their hearts out together and wiped the tears off their faces.
Because of the two children's commotion, Zongmao and his wife, who had originally planned to leave after seeing their granddaughter pick up the child, had no choice but to stay for lunch. After the two children were tired from crying, they coaxed them to sleep before finally carrying Xiaoluzi onto the plane.
The bodyguards helped carry the luggage onto the plane. Bai Xiangdong was also put on the plane first, and Bai Shao boarded last.
Before boarding the plane, Zhu Qianying hugged Bai Shao and repeated her previous words once again.
"Xiao Shao, remember, you must call me if anything happens!"
Bai Shao nodded, and the two said goodbye with tears in their eyes.
As the plane gradually took off, Zhu Qianying's heart was also on the edge of its seat.
She could vaguely imagine how heartbroken Zizai would be when he woke up and found that Bai Xiaolu was gone.
And Bai Xiaolu, sitting on the plane, is probably the same!
Even so, she was powerless to stop it all, nor could she change it.
Zhu Qianying stood on the lawn, looking up, watching the plane go from a huge object to a ball, then from a ball to a tiny speck, until it disappeared from her sight. She remained standing there motionless.
Yan Shao, who had been standing by her side the whole time, sighed softly and put his arm around her shoulder to comfort her.
"Ying'er, let's go back, we can't see her anymore..."
Zhu Qianying closed her eyes slightly and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Young Master Yan, what should we say when Zizai wakes up?"
Zhu Qianying dared not imagine that scene, because the scene of her son and Bai Xiaolu's breakdown at noon was too shocking. Just thinking about it made Zhu Qianying feel extremely sad.
At that time, Bai Xiaolu was still alive.
But now, Bai Xiaolu is no longer here.
Yan Shao sighed inwardly and patted her on the back.
"Ying'er, he'll experience this sooner or later. If it's not Bai Xiaolu, it will be someone else. We can't stop it, we can only tell him that this is reality, and he has no choice but to accept it!"
Yan Shao's words made Zhu Qianying feel very heartless, but what else could she and he do besides tell Zizai this?
