The phone watch played the sound of a little boy crying in distress.
Chaochao was shocked to hear this. Her big eyes widened as she looked around. How did Brother Shize know?
Could it be...?
Chaochao pondered, chin in hand, then got angry. Those two older brothers had secretly told Shize?
That's so cunning!
Ji Shize was so engrossed in the melodrama that he couldn't pull himself out. The little boy, holding back his sobs, choked out, "Little sister Chaochao, if you don't want to be friends with me... that's okay, I... I won't force you..."
Standing to the side, Mr. Ji looked at his son, who was "so sad that his tears flowed like a river," with an indescribable expression. His eyes revealed a hint of disgust. The tears on his face were even heavier than the rain that fell the day Yiping asked her father for money.
No, no.
Chaochao quickly explained, "Brother Shize, you'll always be Chaochao's best friend! Oh, don't cry, Lingling and I..."
Huo Qin, listening from the side, felt increasingly uneasy.
He glanced at the little dumpling who was hurriedly explaining.
Tsk, doesn't that sound like a scumbag cheating on two women?
Chaochao reluctantly explained the whole story to Ji Shize, but didn't mention that Lingling's family was going bankrupt. After Chaochao promised that she would only invite Brother Shize out to play next time, or she would eat one less candy every day, Ji Shize finally felt relieved and reluctantly hung up the phone.
Before Chaochao could even breathe a sigh of relief, Lingling called!
Chaochao: !!!
The little dumpling clutched the watch, looking around in fear.
"Chaochao, have you seen the video online?"
Lingling cautiously asked.
video?
After thinking for a moment, Chaochao honestly replied, "I watched an episode of Ultraman this morning."
Babies spend limited time using electronic devices; they usually use tablets to video chat with their parents or watch cartoons.
Little did they know how vast the internet world was.
Lingling paused for a moment upon hearing the answer: "Ah, it's not a cartoon, oh well..."
She hesitated and said, "Chaochao, I'm sorry, didn't I say before that my family went bankrupt?"
Chaochao nodded worriedly, "Yes, yes."
Lingling glanced at her mother, who was sighing and rubbing her forehead beside her, and awkwardly touched her face.
Last night, she stayed up all night as punishment, wrote the poem thirty times, and then went to sleep. This morning, her mother woke her up and she saw the trending topics and realized that netizens all over the country had seen the two of them picking up trash!
After learning that she was collecting garbage to supplement her family's income, Wei's mother looked blank, as if to say: Huh? What are you talking about?
After Lingling presented a series of compelling pieces of evidence, a long silence fell between the two.
"I guessed wrong. There's nothing wrong at home. My mom isn't eating because she wants to lose weight, and she said she wanted to sell things because she wanted to buy new ones..."
Speaking of this, Lingling couldn't help but think, "I can't blame her. Adults are so complicated. Losing weight is not as important as eating what you like."
Fortunately, she covered her face quickly and ran fast, so it was hard to see clearly. I was just afraid that her classmates from the middle class would recognize her.
As for Chaochao... with her face covered in yogurt, she probably wouldn't be recognized, right?
Lingling thought about how she had also saved a lot of Chaochao's emojis, and then realized that she was the culprit who had covered Chaochao's face with them, so she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
After hanging up the phone, Chaochao finally had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief. Luckily, Lingling didn't ask about Brother Shize.
However, she was also happy for Lingling.
It's so good that Lingling's family didn't go bankrupt and still has food to eat.
But all that's left for her to worry about is her irresponsible father.
The little dumpling glanced at Huo Qin on the desk.
Huo Qin: "?"
Chaochao said, "Daddy just said that Lingling said her family won't go bankrupt!"
"Hmm." Huo Qin nodded, unsurprised.
Chaochao tried hard to recall what Lingling had said yesterday that she hadn't been scammed.
Chaochao took out her little notebook from her backpack. On one page was a drawing of a string of upside-down firecrackers, a butt, and a heart in the middle.
The little dumpling frowned in deep thought—
can't read.
What did she mean by drawing this picture in the first place?
The steamed bun with milk filling became a trending topic, and everyone around me saw it, whether quickly or slowly.
Despite the double whammy of the blurry image from the video site and the yogurt smeared on his face, Grandpa Huo, Xie Jingcheng, Yu Ci, and the others still recognized the child as Chaochao at a glance.
The two older brothers took turns calling to check on Chaochao, asking if she had gotten hurt or encountered any trouble outside, and to make sure she didn't sneak out again...
After hanging up the phone.
They did everything in perfect unison, downloading the video and saving the memes first.
Grandpa Huo first called, angrily scolding Huo Qin for daring to let his granddaughter collect garbage to support him. Then, in the afternoon, he came to the company and stole the little dumpling away.
There's no way around it, I've already played the video on a loop fifty or sixty times, I still have to see the real milk dumpling to really enjoy it.
Huo Qin, who had returned from the meeting to find his house had been burgled, was coldly staring at Xu Sheng.
"Mr. Huo, it's like this. Mr. Huo has already taken Miss Chaochao back to the old house."
Xu Sheng lowered his head, sweat beading on his forehead under the man's pressure, and said, in accordance with Old Master Huo's words, "The old man said that if you want to go back, you can."
Huo Qin laughed in exasperation.
Xu Sheng was drenched in cold sweat, inwardly screaming for help.
Why should he be the scapegoat for your and your son's problems? A working man's life is also a life!
On the bus, Chaochao, who had been suddenly abducted within a minute, was still somewhat bewildered.
What just happened?
It's like she teleported.
Grandpa Huo affectionately patted her head and slipped a card with five million yuan into the small pocket of her clothes.
