At the moment of stalemate, a soft little hand held Su Man's fingertips.
"Mom, does it hurt when you fell?"
Su Man didn't see anyone within her sight until she lowered her head and saw a little boy who was just as tall as her knees.
On his upturned little face, there are two lumps of soft flesh on each side, which look very easy to pinch. It is so adorable.
This is Zhao Man's son, Qiao Anning. Perhaps because he knows his mother's difficulties, this child has been very sensible since birth. Whenever he was bullied by Qiao Keke, he never cried or made a fuss. Even when he was forced to separate from Zhao Man, he promised Zhao Man with tears in his eyes that he would eat and sleep on time and not let her worry.
It is conceivable how heartbroken Zhao Man must have been when she learned the news of An Ning's death.
Perhaps the emotions of the original body still existed in her body, which made Su Man feel happy when she saw the child.
Su Man squatted down and touched his head, "It's okay, Mommy doesn't feel any pain."
...
Qiao Yingrui, standing by, showed impatience in his eyes. "Zhao Man, I'm talking to you. Why are you asking Keke what you mean? Are you trying to wrongly accuse a child?"
Qiao Anning mustered up the courage to step forward and said, "Dad, Mom didn't hit my sister. Mom just told her not to push me..."
Although he was only four years old, he still tried hard to help Suman explain.
But Qiao Yingrui had never been close to An Ning. Not only did he not believe it, but he frowned and said, "Zhao Man, look at what you have taught your child to be. He has learned to lie at such a young age. You are really capable."
Suman???
Are you okay?
She couldn't help but ask, "Qiao Keke couldn't tell a lie at the age of nine, but An Ning could at the age of four?"
These words obviously choked Qiao Yingrui. He was too lazy to talk nonsense with Su Man anymore and said softly to Qiao Keke, "Tell Dad what happened just now. Don't be afraid. Dad is here. No one dares to bully you."
Qiao Keke pouted and pointed at Su Man, "I wanted to play with my brother, but as soon as I came in, this bad woman beat me and kicked me out."
Qiao Yingrui looked distressed, and when he looked at Su Man again, he could hardly hide his anger, "What else do you have to say! Who gave you the courage to hit my daughter in my own home? Apologize to me now."
Su Man ignored Qiao Yingrui. She looked around, searching for something on the ground.
To prevent slipping, the floor in the house has deep grooves. It is impossible for Zhao Man, a grown-up, to fall so carelessly.
She vaguely remembered that she seemed to have stepped on something just now.
Seeing her looking around, Qiao Yingrui became even angrier, "I'm talking to you, what are you doing?"
At this moment, Su Man suddenly saw something shiny in the corner of the room. She picked it up and saw that it was a glass bead.
Su Man held the beads in front of Qiao Yingrui's eyes and asked, "Look, what is this?"
Seeing the marbles, Qiao Keke was a little nervous, but Qiao Yingrui didn't take it seriously. "It's just a child's toy. What does it have to do with you playing with Keke?"
"No, it's not just a toy."
Su Man stared at the flustered Qiao Keke and spoke slowly, "The day before yesterday, I bought a box of marbles for An Ning, but Qiao Keke snatched it away before I even opened it. Remember you said at the time that An Ning was young and you were afraid she might swallow it, so you gave it to Keke. This toy was supposed to be Keke's, but now it's in An Ning's room. Doesn't that explain the situation?"
"Just say what you want to say." Qiao Yingrui said coldly.
"What I mean is that Qiao Keke deliberately dropped the marbles on the ground in an attempt to trip me or An Ning."
"I don't have a dad. I don't have one."
Seeing Qiao Yingrui's gaze turning to her, Qiao Keke denied it.
Su Man said slowly, "Then how did your marbles get to An Ning's room?"
"I..."
Qiao Keke's eyes darted around. Although she had some ulterior motives, she was still a child after all. Facing Su Man's questioning, she managed to come up with a lame excuse after a long time, "I dropped it while I was playing here."
Su Man raised the corner of her lips, "Play? You forgot, you just said that I drove you away as soon as you came in, so when did you play?"
Qiao Keke was about to retort when Su Man added, "Just a reminder, you haven't been to An Ning's room all day today."
Qiao Keke completely put out the fire.
Qiao Yingrui also sensed something was wrong. He shook Qiao Keke in his arms and coaxed her, "Keke, what's going on?"
Seeing that she couldn't make it round, Qiao Keke curled her lips and burst into tears.
"Dad, I didn't lie. I really dropped it by accident. Woohoo, I want mommy. Only mommy believes me."
Seeing his precious daughter crying, Qiao Yingrui immediately put aside his suspicions that had just emerged and coaxed her in a soft voice, "Okay, baby, Daddy won't ask anymore. Daddy believes in you."
“…”
Qiao Yingrui has doted on his daughter since Qiao Keke was born, not to mention that after his ex-wife had an accident, he has been even more careful and protective of the bloodline left to him by his ex-wife, almost to the point of spoiling her.
Hearing her crying for her mother, Qiao Yingrui felt heartbroken. "Keke, be good. I'll take you back to grandpa's house tomorrow, okay? Grandpa and grandma love Keke the most."
Qiao Keke nodded with sobs, "Dad, I have a headache."
"Well, Daddy will take you to bed."
Su Man rubbed the goose bumps on her arms. "You're leaving like this before things are even clear?"
"What's going on? Coco is still a child. Why are you fighting with her? If you were nicer to Coco, she wouldn't be so hostile to you."
Su Man was completely speechless. She wanted to say something, but An Ning shook her hand and said, "Mom, I'm hungry."
