Chapter 4: A Smile is Worth a Thousand Gold Mingyi has all the options
Although the two people fighting were small, they made quite a noise. The first person to come over was the Ming family's housekeeper. He quickly separated the two people and then looked at Ming Li with a nervous expression: "Master Ming Li, are you okay?"
Ming Yuxuan on the opposite side covered his elbow with his hand and lowered his head. Yes, before his mother came, she had specifically told him to please the young master of the Ming family, but he seemed to have messed it up.
Mingyi in the stroller yawned out of boredom, but she didn't even yawn, okay?
"What happened?" Ming Xinzhi came over at this time. He first checked Ming Yi in the stroller. After making sure that she was okay, he looked at Ming Li who was supported by the housekeeper.
"Grandpa, it's him. He wants to snatch my sister from me. How can he call Mingyi sister!" Mingli rubbed his buttocks after saying this. He was pushed to the ground just now and it hurt so much.
At this time, Mingxian and Mingyan, who heard the news, also glared at Ming Yuxuan with a common hatred. It didn't matter how they fought among themselves at ordinary times, but they had to unite against the outside world at the critical moment.
"Nonsense, Mingyi is the youngest, there's nothing wrong with Yuxuan calling her sister." The old man's assistant whispered Ming Yuxuan's name to him beside him.
"Yuxuan, are you okay? I'll let the doctor take care of you." Ming Xinzhi's gaze fell on Ming Yuxuan's arm.
"Grandpa, I'm fine. I don't have any other thoughts. I just want to take care of my sister." Ming Yuxuan was still young after all, and although his words were appropriate, the look he gave Ming Li was clearly full of dissatisfaction.
A gleam of light flashed in Ming Xinzhi's eyes. Ming Li and the others were spoiled by their families and didn't understand any strategy at all. This was the future of his Ming family, and he couldn't tolerate them any longer.
At this time, Ming Yuxuan's parents ran over, pressed his shoulders and apologized frantically, and even twisted his arms with their hands, signaling him to apologize quickly.
"It's normal for children to fight." Ming Xinzhi stopped them, lowered his head and looked at Ming Yuxuan and asked, "Do you like your sister very much?"
Ming Yuxuan thought of her soft cheeks and nodded without hesitation, saying with certainty: "I like it."
"Then would you like to stay here with your sister?" Ming Xinzhi coaxed.
"Can I?" Ming Yuxuan looked up and asked with some surprise.
"Great-grandfather!" Mingli, Mingxian and the other two looked at Ming Xinzhi with dissatisfaction. Why could he stay in the old house to accompany his sister?
Ming Xinzhi ignored the three people and just looked at Ming Yuxuan: "As long as you are willing."
Ming Yuxuan's parents were stunned by the great news and they wanted to accept it for him immediately.
"I do." Ming Yuxuan nodded hurriedly, fearing that the old man would regret it.
"Okay." Ming Xinzhi nodded with a smile, then turned to look at the assistant beside him. He would be in charge of negotiating everything that followed.
Ming Xinzhi's gaze fell on Ming Li and the other two. When he spoke again, his tone was unquestionable: "You three should move back to the old house as soon as possible."
[Didi, your exclusive playmate is here]
Mingyi in the stroller frowned delicately. Are the three little speakers going to come together?
"Hello, sister." Ming Yuxuan, who was sure that he could stay, reached out and held the small hand in the stroller. There was gratitude in his eyes. Because of her, he didn't have to go home and could stay here. There was nothing better than this.
Ming Yuxuan's parents happily followed the old man's assistant to the reception room to discuss follow-up issues. The couple were both ecstatic and did not show any reluctance to part with their child. The assistant had a look of contempt on his face.
When the full moon banquet ended, Mingyi received the crown and the exclusive follower NPC. As for the three small speakers, she simply ignored them.
The guests left one after another, and Ming Yuxuan was arranged by the housekeeper to live in the annex building. He stood at the door and felt the envious gazes from those people. He was a little confused. Did so many people want to stay and play with his sister?
"Grandpa, are Mingli and the others also going to stay in the old house?" The person who asked the question was Mingli's father Ming Siyan.
"Yes, I will arrange teachers to teach them." Ming Xinzhi glanced at the three people standing next to the stroller while speaking.
"Aren't they a little too young?" Ming Siyan asked his wife.
"Mingli is already four, Mingxian and Mingyan are three, they're already at the age of learning. Didn't you all go through the same thing back then?"
Before Ming Siyan could say anything else, Ming Li spoke first: "Dad, I'd like to live in the old house."
"I'm willing to do that too." Mingxian quickly expressed his attitude.
"I'm willing too." Ming Yan followed unwillingly. They were Ming Yi's brothers and they couldn't let Ming Yuxuan take his sister away.
Ming Xinzhi snorted coldly: "Even the children are more sensible than you. If you can't bear to leave your children, move back with them."
The Ming family's old house is very large, with five auxiliary buildings alone, enough to accommodate all the direct branches of the Ming family.
The people who were most happy about this matter were Ming Siyuan and his wife. They had been worried that the old house was rather deserted and Mingyi had no playmates, which might affect her personality.
After everyone left, it was Mingyi's time to breastfeed. The pacifier was put into her mouth and she opened her eyes lazily. It was Ming Siyuan who was feeding her.
You Shiliu was instructing her aunt to put the gifts received today into Mingyi's room.
[Didi, congratulations on receiving the gift house]
On the day after the full moon banquet, there were four more boys in the old house. The old man acted decisively and had already found a teacher.
At the breakfast table, Ming Xinzhi glanced at the four of them one by one, his tone carrying a rare sternness: "Starting today, you will also have classes after school."
Mingyi, who was in the stroller, stretched her little feet and rattled the bell. Everyone's attention was drawn to her. Mingli was the first to speak up, "Grandpa, can we take our sister to school with us?"
"Of course not, let's eat." It is the rule of the Ming family not to talk while eating or sleeping. Ming Yi was drinking the tasteless milk powder. When would she be able to eat anything else?
Time flies, and Mingyi is three months old in a blink of an eye. The hundred-day banquet is getting closer and closer. Ming Yuxuan has been in the old house for more than two months. Apart from attending classes, he stands next to the stroller to watch over Mingyi every day.
Mingyi, who was over three months old, was becoming increasingly fair and lovely. She had finally reduced her sleep time and felt her strength had increased. She raised her hand and touched the rattle on the stroller. Ming Yuxuan ran over and called out skillfully, "Auntie, it's time to make milk for Mingyi."
Compared to those three little loudspeakers, Mingyi was very satisfied with Ming Yuxuan. At least he understood her needs.
More than two months was enough time for the four of them to go from being strangers to being familiar with each other, not to mention that Ming Yuxuan was very sensible about the current situation, so the four of them were currently getting along well, at least on the surface.
Mingyi, who is more than three months old, can already drink milk from the bottle by herself, and the amount of milk has increased from 30 ml at the beginning to 150 ml. At this time, Ming Yuxuan will use a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her head and forehead, and then Mingyi will smile back at him.
"My sister smiled at me." Ming Yi's response made Ming Yuxuan very happy.
Mingli and the other two who heard the news quickly surrounded the stroller and looked at Mingyi in the stroller with a smile: "Sister, smile."
No matter how the three men teased Mingyi in the stroller, they were unable to make Mingyi smile at them as they wished.
Ming Xin, who had come out of the study, saw them all gathered around the stroller and frowned, "What are you doing?"
"I tried to make my sister laugh, but it's a pity that she doesn't smile at us." Mingxian said with a sigh of disappointment.
"Mingyi can laugh now?" The old man recently flew to Switzerland to inspect a sanatorium there and just came back today.
When he came forward, Mingyi in the stroller gave him a toothless smile, which attracted the three people next to him to cheer: "As soon as the great grandfather came, my sister smiled."
"Sister, smile again." This was Ming Yan's unwillingness to give up, but unfortunately Ming Yi was too lazy to even glance at him.
Ming Xinzhi was immediately overjoyed. He leaned over to look at Ming Yi and said with a smile, "Ming Yi, did you know that your great-grandfather brought you a gift?"
When Mingyi heard about the gift, her eyes lit up. The old man went to Switzerland this time, not only to inspect the environment of the sanatorium, but also to pick up the pocket watch he had customized for her.
[Ding Di, congratulations on unlocking the achievement - A smile is worth a thousand gold]
The three-month-old baby already had endless energy. Even with a pocket watch around her neck, she still didn't feel it was a burden. The watch chain was rose gold, the cover was engraved with "MY", and the outer ring was inlaid with diamonds. The light reflected by the diamonds made Mingli beside her react: "Grandpa, where are our gifts?"
"The housekeeper will put it in your room later." He picked up the pocket watches of the other four people.
Mingyi's little hands were playing with the pocket watch on her chest. She opened the cover directly, and inside was a photo of her full-month birthday. She smiled with satisfaction and reached out to Ming Xinzhi, indicating that she wanted to be hugged.
"Our Mingyi is so well-behaved." Ming Xinzhi reached out and took Mingyi out of the stroller. His eyes were full of kindness, completely devoid of the sharpness he had in the business world.
The hundred-day banquet is approaching, and there is another important thing at the old house, that is, all the children of the Ming family will have their own personal assistants before the age of seven. This time, Ming Xinzhi plans to decide on Ming Yi's as well.
The position of personal assistant to the Ming family has always been very popular. Not only does it pay well, but it also allows for annual vacations and various benefits. Although many people mock this job as being like a nanny, many still strive to get in.
"When is the interview scheduled?" Ming Xinzhi turned to look at his assistant.
"Are you going to have an interview in person at 2 o'clock this afternoon?" the assistant asked.
"No need, let them interview themselves." The resumes of all the candidates who came for the interview had been screened, and there was no problem with their education and background. Who could stay depended on how they impressed their respective interviewers.
"What about Miss Mingyi?"
"It's up to her to make the decision. Mingyi has all the options."
