"You can go if you want to, and come back if you don't want to stay there. As long as grandma is here, there will always be a place for you where grandma is."
The more grandma said this, the more upset Ying Xixi felt, and the more she hated the cruel couple.
"But I want grandma to go to the White Forest with me." Ying Xixi hugged her grandma's arm and rocked her like a spoiled child.
"Grandma, please come with me and come back whenever you want, okay?
This is the first time I’ve left the Black Forest since I was a child, and I’m scared without my grandmother by my side.”
Grandma smiled from ear to ear, "You little bunny, you're still so spoiled even though you're an adult."
Ying Xixi started to act like a spoiled child even more vigorously, "Grandma, will you agree?"
"Okay, okay, grandma agrees."
The grandmother couldn't resist the granddaughter she had raised since she was a child acting so coquettishly to her, so she agreed immediately.
"Grandma, let's not tell them so soon that we're willing to go to the White Forest with them, okay?
Why should we agree immediately when they ask us to? Let’s wait a few days and see.”
Ying Xixi said this angrily. In her grandmother's eyes, she didn't look willful at all, but very cute.
"OK."
Grandma agreed.
The next morning, the grandparents went to the store early, and when Ying's parents came to the cabin, they found it empty.
Ying's mother frowned. "It's so early in the morning. Looks like they went to the store. Let's go find them there."
Father Ying was a little annoyed, "Xiao Li, we don't have much time to dawdle with the grandparents and grandchildren. Otherwise, why don't we just send someone to take Xixi back home.
When she has seen tall buildings, she will no longer miss the shabby wooden houses here."
Ying's mother hesitated. "I'm worried that if we forcibly take her away, she won't be happy. What if she resists later?"
"If you dare to resist, just give it a lesson."
Ying's father's eyes were cold, completely different from the silent and taciturn look he had shown in front of his mother-in-law last night.
"How about this, let's wait for two more days. If Xixi refuses us, we can find a way to take her away directly."
Ying's mother suggested.
"Okay, that's it for now. Let's go and take a look at the store."
Ying's father and mother asked about the animals along the way and found the wood carving shop.
Ying Xixi was carving a wood carving. When she heard the noise at the door, she looked up and saw that it was them. She lowered her eyes and continued what she was doing.
"What brought you here?"
Grandma frowned.
"Mom, what you said, can't we come?
You guys came too early this morning. We went to the cabin and didn't see you, so we came here just now."
After saying this, Ying's mother looked around at the wood carvings in the shop.
"Are these all carved by Xixi? They're well carved, very lifelike.
But these shouldn’t make much money, right?”
Grandma glared at her unhappily and said, "Xiao Li, you're so rich now that you're so proud of yourself. Have you forgotten that you also loved carving wood when you were a child?"
Ying's mother choked. She had really forgotten.
"Mom, that was so many years ago when I was a kid, there's no comparison between then and now.
There are many opportunities in the White Forest now, and I just hope Xixi can have more choices."
"Alright, alright, stop talking. If you two can be quiet, just sit down. If not, go out. Don't disturb my Xixi's work here."
Grandma lectured with a stern face.
Ying's father and mother were choked, unable to breathe out or get rid of the anger.
Ying's mother simply asked Ying Xixi directly, "Xixi, you've been thinking about this all night. What do you think?"
Ying Xixi stopped what she was doing and looked up at her mother who seemed a little exasperated.
“It’s only been one night, I haven’t thought it through yet.
You are urging me so hard that I doubt your purpose in bringing me to the White Forest."
Ying Xixi's gaze, as if she saw through something, made Ying's father and mother's hearts skip a beat.
Ying's mother quickly put on a smile, "Xixi, what are you saying? We are your biological parents, what purpose could we have?
We are taking you to the White Forest for your own good."
"oh."
Ying Xixi lowered her gaze and said "oh" indifferently.
Ying's mother was furious, but she couldn't say anything directly.
For the next two days, Ying Xixi and her grandmother treated the couple indifferently.
Originally, grandma really thought that these two people felt that they had not taken care of their daughter Xixi for more than ten years, and now they came to forgive their sins.
But after observing them for the past two days, she felt that they must have a purpose. As for what the purpose was, it seemed that she had to go to the White Forest in person to find out what the situation was.
Now she didn't dare let her granddaughter go to the White Forest with that couple alone.
She had to go and take a look to feel at ease.
On the third day, Ying's parents were already getting impatient.
They came to Ying Xixi again and asked her what she thought. Even though they tried their best to suppress their anger, it was revealed in their tone.
"Xixi, what have you thought about? What exactly do you want to do?!
You're an adult now, so even if you take a long time to think about something, it won't take more than three days, right?!
A mature adult should know not to waste each other's time. Time is money, don't you understand?!"
Ying's mother was almost about to put her hands on her hips and curse.
Ying Xixi casually put the finished wood carving into an exquisite box.
"So you're saying I wasted your time and money?
You guys saying this really makes me doubt whether I am your biological daughter or not!"
Ying Xixi looked at the couple indifferently, "You keep saying you're going to take me to the White Forest, and keep saying you're going to make up for my lost past.
Why are you accusing me of wasting your time and money now?!
Are you really going to make it up to me, or...are you going to use me to do something bad?!"
Ying's mother's heart tightened, and she almost thought that Ying Xixi had discovered something.
She blinked and tears fell.
"Xixi, I'm your mother! How could you think of us like this!"
Ying Xixi smiled, "Why are you crying again? If someone who doesn't know the truth saw it, they would think I bullied you.
Besides, I didn’t say I wouldn’t leave with you.”
Ying's mother's tears disappeared instantly, "Xixi, are you willing to go with us?!"
"I can go to the White Forest with you, but I want to take my grandmother with me."
Ying Xixi walked to her grandmother's side with a firm tone.
Ying's father and mother looked at each other and agreed.
"Yes, our original plan was to bring you two back home to enjoy a happy life together.
It’s just that you refused too quickly at the beginning, Mom.
That's fine, Mom, you go with Xixi, and we can take care of you in the future."
Ying's mother smiled, and her expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book.
"Grandma and I agreed to go with you, but we also need a day to pack our things."
