Zhao Yun was not willing to be outdone, "You even pinched Guoguo's face until it turned red."
Shen Mingzhu didn't want to listen to the quarrel between the brother and sister, so she went upstairs to see her daughter.
In the study, Guoguo nestled obediently in her brother's arms. She had stopped crying, but was still sobbing.
Crystal tears hung on her crow-feather-like eyelashes, her pretty pink and white face was covered with tear marks, her black eyes were watery, like washed grapes, and when she saw Shen Mingzhu come in, she pouted her little mouth and was about to cry again.
"Mom~"
The baby's voice was tinged with tears, and Shen Mingzhu's heart melted when she heard it.
She hugged her daughter in her arms and comforted her with concern, while asking what was going on with the twins and son in the study.
Chen Xiaolu recounted the story.
The plastic building blocks come in a set, which is more than enough for Guoguo to play with by himself usually, but with Chen Xiaolu and Liang Xiaowen added, it is not enough.
Guoguo and Liang Xiaowen were fighting over a piece of building blocks. Guoguo accidentally broke up Liang Xiaowen's building block model. Liang Xiaowen got angry and pinched Guoguo's face.
"Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't protect my sister."
Looking at her son who was full of regret and self-blame, Shen Mingzhu comforted him, "It's okay, it's not your fault."
…
When Shen Mingzhu carried her daughter downstairs, the living room had returned to its previous harmony, with people drinking tea and chatting.
Seeing Shen Mingzhu coming over with the child in her arms, Pei Wenping stood up and gave up the single sofa seat she was sitting on.
Shen Mingzhu did not sit in the seat vacated by Pei Wenping, but walked to Zhou Hui and her daughter holding Guoguo.
"Xiao Wen."
Liang Xiaowen was leaning on Zhou Hui bored, and when she heard Shen Mingzhu calling her, she looked up subconsciously.
Shen Mingzhu said: "Guoguo pushed down your toy. I apologize to you on Guoguo's behalf."
Hearing this, Zhou Hui smiled and said, "Oh, Mingzhu, you are too polite. It is unavoidable for children to play together. It's nothing."
Shen Mingzhu smiled and didn't respond to Zhou Hui's words. She still looked at Liang Xiaowen, "Xiaowen, Guoguo is younger than you. If she does anything wrong in the future, come to me and I will definitely give you justice, but you can't do anything to her. Can you promise your aunt?"
Liang Xiaowen pursed her lips, looking unconvinced.
"Xiao Wen, your Aunt Mingzhu is talking to you, answer her."
Hearing her husband's words, Zhou Hui hurriedly pulled her daughter, "Xiao Wen, say sorry to Guo Guo."
Perhaps because she couldn't save face, Liang Xiaowen turned her head away angrily and buried her face in Zhou Hui's arms.
Zhou Hui hugged her daughter and laughed dryly, "This child is usually very obedient. I guess she feels aggrieved today."
Zhao Yun walked over and picked up Liang Xiaowen.
"Apologize to Guoguo!"
Liang Xiaowen's face turned red and she struggled hard, "Let me go!"
"You are capable of bullying others, but you are incapable of admitting your mistakes, right? Liang Xiaowen, are you ashamed?"
"mom!"
"Xiaoyun, let go first."
Hearing her daughter's call for help, Zhou Hui couldn't help but speak out.
Zhao Yun angrily pushed Liang Xiaowen away and turned to Shen Mingzhu and said, "Aunt Mingzhu, I'll apologize to Guoguo on behalf of Xiaowen. Don't worry, Guoguo is also my sister. No one will bully her when I'm around."
Zhao Yun's words were charitable of a brother, but they also made Liang Xiaowen look uncultured.
Zhou Hui didn't look very good.
Shen Mingzhu didn't want to make the scene too awkward, so she nodded, and the matter was over.
However, Zhou Hui felt uncomfortable and couldn't help complaining to Zhao Dafa after returning home.
Zhao Dafa said indifferently: "When you are out, you have to earn your own reputation. If a child does something wrong, you should educate him. You should learn a lot from the Shen family's sister in this regard."
"When Xiaoyun made mistakes before, I would just beat her with a belt. Xiaowen is a girl, so I can't beat or scold her. But as a mother, you have to discipline her. Don't spoil her personality at such a young age."
Zhou Hui was already furious with Shen Mingzhu for embarrassing her and her daughter, and now her husband was speaking on Shen Mingzhu's side. She felt extremely upset.
But she had to listen to what Zhao Dafa said.
So angry.
"Xiao Wen."
Zhou Hui came to her daughter's room and said, "Let's go and apologize to your Aunt Mingzhu."
Liang Xiaowen was already unhappy because of the unpleasantness in the Pei family, and she was angry. When she heard Zhou Hui's words, her eyes instantly turned red.
"I won't go, I won't go!"
Seeing her daughter being wronged, Zhou Hui felt very distressed.

She held her daughter in her arms and coaxed her gently, "Xiao Wen, Mom knows you're wronged, but we can't make Uncle Zhao unhappy. Without Uncle Zhao, we wouldn't be able to live the good life we have now. Have you forgotten what Uncle Zhao promised you, that he would buy you a big house when you passed junior high school? Before Mom and Uncle Zhao get married, we can only endure it."
Although Zhao Dafa admired Zhou Hui, he was not a man who would be blinded by lust.
His idea is that the two parties should live together for two years and if they can get along well, they can get a marriage certificate. If they are not suitable for each other, they can separate.
As for the grand banquet, it was just to give Zhou Hui enough dignity and avoid gossip.
Shen Mingzhu also learned by accident from Zhao Yun that Zhou Hui and Zhao Dafa did not obtain a marriage certificate, so she was too lazy to respond to Zhou Hui's various little thoughts.
Under Zhou Hui's coaxing, Liang Xiaowen had to wipe away her tears and go to Pei's house to apologize.
…
After seeing the mother and daughter off, Pei Yang returned to the living room and saw Shen Mingzhu sitting on the sofa, carefully applying a hot towel to the red area where his daughter was pinched to relieve the bruises. She looked unhappy, so he stepped forward to comfort her, "Sister Zhou has brought Xiaowen to apologize, and you're still angry?"
Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes at him, "It's not your child, so of course you don't feel bad!"
"Why isn't she mine? Guoguo is my daughter, my biological daughter."
"Besides planting a seed, what else have you done?"
Pei Yang: “…”
Pei Ziheng stepped forward and patted Shen Mingzhu on the back to calm her down. "Mom, don't be angry. Being angry will give you wrinkles."
Pei Yang cleverly copied his son's homework and stroked Shen Mingzhu's hair, "You don't like them, so just don't have any contact with them in the future. Son, you have to take good care of Guoguo in the future, and don't let Liang Xiaowen get close to Guoguo again."
"You only know how to order your son around. What's the point of having you as a father?"
Knowing that Shen Mingzhu was angry and what she said was not very pleasant, Pei Yang naturally did not take it to heart.
"I'll go boil some water and give Guoguo a bath. He's been crawling on the ground all day and is covered in dirt."
"Mom, I will protect Guoguo in the future, don't be angry."
Looking at her sensible and considerate son, Shen Mingzhu's anger suddenly disappeared. She reached out and hugged him to her, "Be good, mommy is not angry anymore."
Pei Ziheng snuggled in her arms obediently, his black eyes twinkling.
Bullying his sister and making his mother angry.
Liang Xiaowen! ...
When Zhou Hui returned home and saw Zhao Dafa getting ready to go out, she secretly pushed her daughter.
Liang Xiaowen ran forward smartly, "Dad!"
Zhao Dafa put on his shoes while looking at the mother and daughter, "Going out?"
"I went to apologize to Aunt Mingzhu and Guoguo. Dad, I know I was wrong. I will never bully Guoguo again." (End of this chapter)
