Although Zhao Damei's words angered them, her first display of such backbone made them take a second look at her.
But Zhao Damei wasn't satisfied with just saying that. She gritted her teeth and said to them, "From now on, if I still have the nerve to go to your house, then I'm a coward and a bastard!!"
"snort……"
Zhang Xiu sneered upon hearing this, and then said, "I hope you really can keep your word!"
As she spoke, she tried to take the children home.
Zhao Damei was quite pleased with herself.
Although she didn't get rid of Baili Wanwan, she was fortunate to have this luminous pearl, which was a great bargain.
"Auntie..."
They had only taken a couple of steps when Baili Wanwan suddenly tugged at Zhang Xiu's hand.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xiu lowered his head and asked her softly.
Baili Wanwan bit her lip, then said to Zhang Xiu, "The luminous pearl... is in that wicked grandmother's hands..."
Before Zhang Xiu could say anything after Baili Wanwan finished speaking, Wan Yuekui's expression changed.
"stop!"
He immediately turned around and called out to Zhao Damei, who was about to leave.
Zhao Damei glanced at them disdainfully, her eyes still brimming with barely concealed joy.
"What? You've changed your mind? You want to apologize to me?"
"You're dreaming!!" Wan Yuekui rolled his eyes, then continued, "Give us back what you're holding!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Damei's eyes immediately began to dart around.
Now, besides feeling guilty, she is naturally afraid.
So she clutched her chest tightly, trying to appear nonchalant as she spoke, "What are you talking about! I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Stop pretending!" Wan Yuekui said angrily. "That luminous pearl was obtained by Wanwan, you'd better return it right now!!"
Zhao Damei naturally refused; if the luminous pearl were to be returned, it would be tantamount to taking her life!
"Why do you say the luminous pearl is on me! Don't you dare frame me!"
With that, Zhao Damei prepared to leave.
Baili Wanwan was also angry to see that she was determined not to return the item, so she secretly activated her spiritual power.
As if sensing something, the pearl slipped from Zhao Damei's arms and rolled to the ground.
"My luminous pearl!!" Zhao Damei saw the luminous pearl fall out and, disregarding all decorum, hurriedly chased after it.
But at this moment, Wan Yuekui seemed to be quicker and more agile than she was.
Moreover, the luminous pearl that night was imbued with Baili Wanwan's spiritual power, and it seemed to be being manipulated by someone, rolling towards the crowd.
Just as Zhao Damei was about to catch up with the luminous pearl, Wan Yuekui bent down, picked it up, and held it tightly in his arms.
"Didn't you say you didn't know anything about luminous pearls? Then what is this?" Wan Yuekui shook the luminous pearl in his hand, then turned and handed it to Zhang Xiu.
Zhao Damei was so angry she almost fainted.
She wanted to pester him further, but Zhang Xiu and the others were no longer willing to pay attention to her.
"If something isn't yours, even if you forcibly take it, it will vanish in an instant."
Wan Suizhou gave her a lukewarm look, then went home with the other children.
Zhao Damei was left slumped on the ground, furious.
Her scheme failed, and she didn't get the luminous pearl. Thinking back to the harsh words she'd just uttered, she now wanted to slap herself.
But these things have nothing to do with the Wan family.
That evening, Zhang Xiu prepared a sumptuous dinner to calm everyone's nerves, especially Wanwan, who had gone through hardships.
The next day, Zhang Xiu took Wanwan to the county town.
The grouper that Wanwan caught is bigger than the last one. If we go early, we're sure to get a good price for it.
When they arrived at the market, Zhang Xiu didn't rush to sell the fish. Instead, he took Baili Wanwan and bought her a lot of food.
Baili Wanwan hesitated as she looked at the food.
Seeing that she seemed hesitant to speak, Zhang Xiu asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Wanwan shook her head, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke up: "Auntie, may I bring some food to see Lin Yang'er?"
Since what happened last time, Baili Wanwan hasn't played with Lin Yang'er for a long time.
Here, Lin Yang'er was also her first inseparable confidante.
"Of course," Zhang Xiu agreed without hesitation.
“Then we’ll buy some more. You can take it with you to eat, and you don’t have to rush back. Your aunt can pick you up later.”
Zhang Xiu knew that it was not easy for Wanwan to have a playmate at her age, so she was very understanding.
"That's great! Thank you, Auntie!"
Baili Wanwan's eyes sparkled with laughter, like a gentle spring breeze, making Zhang Xiu feel very comfortable.
Zhang Xiu escorted Baili Wanwan to the Lin residence and was relieved to see Lin Lan personally leading her inside.
Lin Lan was very happy to see Baili Wanwan arrive, and hurriedly ordered the servants to prepare delicious food and drinks, and invited Lin Yang'er out.
"Wanwan, you can come visit often if you have time. Yang'er and I miss you very much..."
Lin Lan invited Baili Wanwan into the house, poured her a glass of almond milk, and spoke gently.
But Wanwan shook her head.
She didn't have much time. Most of the time she would accompany her aunt to sea, and occasionally she would go to school where Grandpa Wan would teach her to read.
If she can't memorize it, Grandpa Wan will punish her just like he did with Brother Kui and Brother Chi.
As the two were talking, a hurried jog came from outside.
Before even seeing anyone, Lin Yang'er's excited voice rang out.
"Fairy sister, I miss you so much!"
Wanwan looked up and saw a little girl wearing a pink dress and with her hair tied in a bun running in, panting.
It's been over a month since I last saw Lin Yang'er after leaving the Lin family.
Unlike when I first met her, when she was thin and timid, she had gained a lot of weight, her complexion was much better, and even her hair was shiny.
It's clear that the Lin family truly treated her well.
"Sister Yang'er, I brought you something delicious!"
Baili Wanwan placed the delicious food her aunt had bought on the table, and then enjoyed it with Lin Yang'er and Lin Lan.
Time always flies when kids of the same age are playing together. Lin Yang'er clung to Baili Wanwan, chattering incessantly.
After playing for a while, as it was getting close to noon, Baili Wanwan got up to say goodbye. But Lin Yang'er suddenly changed her expression, hugging Baili Wanwan's arm with a very aggrieved look, as if she was very reluctant to part.
"Yang'er doesn't want Fairy Sister to leave. Can't Sister stay here?"
“But my aunt is waiting for me, and I don’t want her to wait too long…” Wanwan was also in a dilemma.
Because Wanwan was the first to save Lin Yang'er, Baili Wanwan was very special in Lin Yang'er's eyes.
Even though her life is much better than before, she still can't help wanting to rely on Baili Wanwan whenever she sees her.
