Chapter 7 Nian Nian Conquers Grandma
Li Yan's arm holding the phone froze.
Whose voice was it? Don't tell him it was Ms. Wang's. He didn't dare to believe it.
The video call continued, and then a lower male voice came from the speaker.
"Is this child Gui Lin's? What a joke, he looks like he's only one year old. How could that guy have the guts to have a child and keep it a secret for a whole year?"
"Oh, please be more polite. You almost scared the baby to tears. Also, I just heard what Assistant Li said. He said it himself. This is Gui Lin's son. Look how good this child is. I think he is ours."
After Wang Xiulin finished speaking, she couldn't help but mutter, "She's really pretty, with round eyes. She's blessed."
Nian Nian pursed her lips with a look of grievance, and was watched in turn by Wang Xiulin and Shi Jianfeng within the camera range, especially Shi Jianfeng. The aura of a superior that had accumulated over the decades was too strong. Wearing a pair of glasses and with a stern face, he looked at Zi Zi as if he was being scrutinized for no reason.
Nian Nian's animal instincts made him want to escape, but he couldn't walk steadily or run fast, so he could only freeze on the sofa. After a few seconds, Nian Nian covered his eyes with his hands.
After his vision was blocked, everything in front of him was pitch black, as if Jianfeng was no longer afraid when he could not see. Only his mouth was exposed, not covered by his little hands, and his pout became more and more intense.
The feelings of grievance and fear accumulated more and more. When it reached a certain level, Nian Nian's tear glands opened, and bean-sized drops of water fell from her face through her fingers. "Wuwuwuwu...papa...hiccup...wuwuwuwu..."
Li Yan had already collapsed. The current mess made him want to throw up. He glanced at his watch, figuring that Shi Ge should be back soon, so he leaned over to wipe Nian Nian's tears. "Don't be afraid, Nian Nian, Dad will be back soon. Let's go get him, okay?"
At the same time, he apologized to the camera and said that he accidentally dialed the wrong number.
The two people on the other side of the screen didn't care at all. They just saw Nian Nian crying pitifully, with her pink little face turned red, and they felt anxious.
She didn't care that Shi Guilin had made the child angry, nor did she have time to ask who the child's mother was. Wang Xiulin began to comfort her through the screen: "It's Nian Nian, right? Nian Nian, grandma is not a bad person, don't be afraid, ah, what if your voice becomes hoarse from crying..."
Li Yan was embarrassed and thought to herself how could she call herself grandma? She was really good at accepting things and was worthy of being Shi Ge's biological mother.
She coaxed him patiently, her fifty-eight-year-old voice mellow with the calmness of years, her tone soft and gentle with the Southern accent. Before she knew it, Nian Nianzhen's crying had subsided and she glanced timidly at the camera.
Seeing that Nian Nian had stopped crying, Wang Xiulin smiled and unconsciously raised her voice: "Little Nian Nian, I'm your grandma, your father Shi Guilin's mother. Can you call me grandma?"
This string of ethical and logical words was too long for Nian Nian's brain to process, so he didn't say a word. However, the aftereffects of his crying made his little body tremble uncontrollably.
This tremor caused her face to tremble, causing Wang Xiulin to look at him more eagerly. She couldn't help but sit up and get closer to the camera. Then she pointed her index finger at herself and slowly said, "Nu-nu ...
Nian Nian's eyelashes, stained with tears, fluttered in clusters. Her voice, still milky and nasal, was filled with the sound of crying as she babbled, "Na, na na."
"Hey, listen, it's so cute." Wang Xiulin covered her mouth with one hand, smiled and pulled Shi Jianfeng's arm beside her.
Shi Jianfeng remained silent, with a stern face, his eyes behind the glasses fixed on Nian Nian.
Nian Nian looked at him for a while and missed her father again.
Suddenly, Shi Jianfeng squeezed in front of the camera, and after a long silence, he pointed at himself and said, "Grandpa."
It means to let Nian Nian call him.
Nian Nian looked at the serious face magnified on the screen, her hands nervously placed on her chest, her mouth tightly shut, at a loss as to what to do. Shi Jianfeng waited patiently, the old man and the child staring at each other in silence.
At this moment, there was a "beep" sound from the entrance, followed by the sound of a door opening and closing.
"Nian Nian, Dad is back!"
It was Shi Guilin's voice. At that moment, Li Yan felt liberated from the bottom of his heart.
Nian Nian even stretched out her arms eagerly for a hug: "Papa."
Shi Guilin quickly walked to the sofa and sat down. He picked up Nian Nian and kissed her on both cheeks. "Do you miss me, baby?"
It was a warm moment between father and son when a voice with a hint of anger suddenly interrupted: "Why don't you first explain where the baby in your arms came from?"
Ms. Wang Xiulin's lips curved slightly, her eyes filled with menace. Shi Jianfeng remained silent beside her as usual.
Shi Guilin's eyelids twitched, and he turned to look at the phone that was on a video call: "..."
Three seconds later, he shifted his gaze speechlessly to Li Yan, who was silently holding up his phone as a stand.
Li Yan immediately backed off: "I accidentally dialed the wrong number." Then he added: "I haven't told you about Nian Nian yet."
Shi Guilin couldn't bear to watch it. Sometimes he really wanted to fire Li Yan, the unfortunate thing. He had originally planned to slowly talk to his family about his intention to adopt Nian Nian, but now, he had revealed it directly, and the child was exposed.
"Mom, things are not what you think." Shi Guilin paused, "Dad, don't look like that, I didn't mess with girls."
He covered Nian Nian's ears with his hands, lowered his eyes and whispered, "I found Nian Nian while filming in the mountains. He was abandoned. He's very well behaved, and I want to raise him."
The scene froze for a moment. Shi Guilin remained silent, his thumb caressing Nian Nian's small, white ear lovingly. He knew full well that the chances of his family agreeing were slim. They would consider the decision to adopt a child incredibly hasty and reckless, and no one thought he had seriously considered it.
"Really?" This question was strangely mixed with surprise. Shi Guilin looked at Wang Xiulin in surprise and found that her eyes were actually red.
Wang Xiulin raised her finger and tapped her moist eyes. "Such a well-behaved and lovely child was abandoned? That family is too much. They only care about giving birth but not raising her. Poor Nian Nian."
After wiping away her tears, she calmed down and said with some resentment, "What a bunch of fools with no vision. I don't think I can raise them well if I keep them." Then she changed her tone, "I think Nian Nian is so lively and blessed. I liked her at first sight."
Shi Jianfeng: "Yeah. Your mother is right."
Shi Guilin: “…” That’s strange, do his parents like children so much?
"Let's hang up first. I can't explain it clearly for the time being. I just finished filming the play. After lunch, I will take Nian Nian home. We will talk in detail when we get home." Shi Guilin put down his hands that were covering Nian Nian's ears.
"Okay. It's late, Nian Nian must be hungry. Feed him carefully and don't let him choke." Wang Xiulin didn't say a word of concern. After giving her instructions, she turned around and waved to Nian Nian: "Niannian, grandma will see you this afternoon and give you a big red envelope. Bye."
Shi Guilin grabbed Nian Nian's hand and helped Zizi manually say goodbye to the two people on the other end of the phone. After hanging up the phone, he fell into deep thought.
After a while, he supported his chin and looked at the little ball sitting on his lap.
"Did you drug my parents?"
