The driver was speechless after being rebuked, and wisely shut his mouth.
Lin Hui turned around and glanced at Yi Kangle reproachfully, "Why can't you just stay still! All you do is cause trouble for me every day!"
Yi Kangle silently endured the scolding, not daring to utter a single word.
After Lin Hui stopped breathing and started playing on her phone, he admitted in a soft voice, "Mom, Xiao Bao knows he was wrong. Xiao Bao will never do it again."
Lin Hui was unimpressed. "What do you know? When we go to Grandma's later, just remember to behave well!"
"Going to Grandma's again?"
Yi Kangle had just uttered a complaint when Lin Hui glared at him and shut him up.
Lin Hui glared at him, annoyed. "If you were even slightly more ambitious, would your mother still be married into the Yi family by now?"
Yi Kangle lowered his head and said, "I know I was wrong."
Lin Hui ignored him and continued fiddling with her phone.
Upon arriving at the Yi family's residence, Lin Hui immediately changed her demeanor, greeting Meng Jie with a beaming smile, showing no trace of her previous anger.
"Auntie, your skin looks even better after just a few days!"
Meng Jie had had enough of this kind of hypocritical flattery.
She took an elegant sip of her tea and looked at Yi Kangle, who was standing obediently beside her.
Why aren't you at school today?
Yi Kangle bit his lip, not daring to speak, and looked to Lin Hui for help.
Lin Hui immediately chimed in, "Mom, I get angry just thinking about this."
Meng Jie put down her teacup. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Lin Hui looked distressed. "Xiao Bao's kindergarten had an open day for parents, and I went. The principal of Xiao Bao's kindergarten actually told me that Xiao Bao has a personality problem, that he has a people-pleasing personality, and that he can't even cry. I'm so angry that my own child is being talked about like that."
As she spoke, she touched her empty tears, looking as if she couldn't continue.
Meng Jie glanced at Yi Kangle, then turned to Wu Fen and instructed, "Take Xiao Bao upstairs to play first."
After Wu Fen took Yi Kangle away, Meng Jie finally put on a stern face and reprimanded him.
"Say all sorts of things in front of the child. Doesn't a mother have even this much tact?"
Lin Hui, feeling even more aggrieved after being scolded, complained to Meng Jie, "Auntie, I was just in a hurry! I forgot for a moment, it's my fault, I'll be more careful."
Meng Jie ignored her, and Lin Hui continued, "The principal also said that Xiao Bao's condition is closely related to his family relationship, because his parents separated. He feels that he is different from other children and has psychological trauma."
She clutched her chest, looking as if she were in excruciating pain.
"When I heard that, I almost couldn't hold back my tears. It's all my fault. I gave birth to Xiaobao, but I couldn't even give him the most basic things to do. He ended up like this."
Meng Jie fell into deep thought, and after a while, she said, "I will contact a specialist in children and arrange for Xiao Bao to see a doctor."
Lin Hui immediately panicked and hurriedly said, "Auntie, there's no need to go to so much trouble. The principal said that this problem is actually easy to solve; all we need to do is provide Xiaobao with a healthy family environment."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Meng Jie expectantly, waiting for her reply.
"A healthy family environment?" Meng Jie nodded knowingly. "Call Yi An and tell him to come home for dinner tonight."
Lin Hui was overjoyed and almost shouted out in excitement.
She tried to suppress her excitement and gently replied, "Auntie, okay, I'll call Brother An right away."
She stood up, smiled triumphantly, walked out the door, and dialed Yi An's number.
"Hey, Brother An, why don't you go back to the Yi family tonight?"
Yi An on the other end of the phone hesitated slightly, "Why?"
Lin Hui tried her best to put on the same sad look she had when facing Meng Jie, "I went to Xiao Bao's kindergarten today, and the principal said that Xiao Bao has some problems."
"What's wrong with Xiao Bao?" Yi An asked urgently.
Lin Hui deliberately sniffed, pretending to have cried.
“Brother An, it’s not easy to talk about this over the phone. Why don’t you come to the Yi family’s house tonight and we can sit down and discuss it in detail?”
Yi An agreed without even thinking about it.
"Okay, I'll go back."
Lin Hui immediately smiled victoriously. She knew that Xiao Bao was Yi An's weakness. As long as she said that she had something to do, Yi An would not refuse any of her requests.
After calming herself down, Lin Hui returned to the living room and saw Meng Jie making a phone call to someone, speaking in a tone that sounded like she was giving a notification.
Lin Hui guessed it must be one of the company's employees.
After exchanging a few words, Meng Jie instructed Wu Fen to prepare dinner.
In order to please Meng Jie, Lin Hui took the initiative to act virtuous and helped in the kitchen.
Since she dared to say that, Wu Fen didn't dare to actually order her around; she only assigned her light tasks like setting the table.
Lin Hui looked at the five-person set of tableware handed to her and paused for a moment. "Is Uncle coming back tonight too?"
Meng Jie casually replied, "I just called him, he's coming back tonight."
Lin Hui then realized that the person who had just received the notice was Yi Ruihua.
But this wasn't her first time visiting, so she wasn't surprised by this situation.
As she set the table, Yi'an rushed back.
"What happened to Xiaobao?"
Meng Jie glanced at his hurried appearance and said unhurriedly, "Go take a shower first, we can talk about it later."
It was still in a commanding tone.
Yi An did not refuse. After taking a shower, Yi Ruihua also returned.
Yi An looked at the table full of people, paused, and realized that things were not so simple.
During the meal, Meng Jie gave Lin Hui a look, signaling for Lin Hui to tell her what happened during the day.
After Lin Hui finished crying and repeating the same words, Meng Jie issued an ultimatum.
"You're okay with having the wedding next month, right?"
Yi Ruihua paused for a moment, then quickly turned to look at Yi An.
Yi'an immediately put down the chopsticks she was holding.
"Regarding Xiaobao, I will find the best doctor; marriage is not necessary."
Meng Jie looked at him coldly, "Why not use the simplest and most effective method instead of going through all this trouble? Foolish!"
Yi'an listened to her shameless reprimand and retaliated in the same way.
"Mom, your real goal is to get me married, why go through all this trouble and use Xiaobao as an excuse? Isn't that just stupid?"
Meng Jie slammed her chopsticks on the table with a "bang," startling everyone else.
Yi Ruihua's gaze darted back and forth between the two for a while before she silently put down her chopsticks.
Meng Jie stared coldly at Yi An: "You come up here right now."
She left those words behind and went upstairs.
Yi'an followed her up.
Once they reached the study and the door was closed, Meng Jie's first words were: "You must marry Lin Hui. The wedding date is set for next month, and I will arrange for both sets of parents to meet tomorrow."
Yi'an heard that this was not a discussion at all, but clearly an announcement, and her face turned cold.
"Can you please stop dictating everything to me? I'm all grown up now, I have my own life, and I don't need your interference."
