Chapter 17 The Game Begins 10
"Madam, just tell me, what do you want in exchange for my forgiveness?" There was still a hint of arrogance in Sun Tu's tone.
Zhao Lingmeng listened to the scumbag's tone and thought to herself, "What a scholar's backbone! Even when asking for help, there's always a sense of almsgiving in the heart."
"Didn't you see that I couldn't even get out of bed after giving birth? Just wait until I'm done with my confinement before coming back! Don't make me angry during this period. I just don't want to see you right now." Zhao Lingmeng said while eating.
"After you finish your confinement, do you know what's going on outside? Do you know that I'm about to face my year-end assessment? Do you want to ruin my future? Even if you don't care about me, you should at least think about Jing'er and the others!" After Sun Tu finished speaking, he winked at Sun Qijing, meaning that he should speak for him.
Sun Qijing pretended not to see his father's actions. Yesterday, when he asked his father to speak for him, his father pretended not to see it. Although Sun Qijing was only three years old, he was a child who held grudges.
Another reason is that I have to live with my mother now, and things are different from before. The competition is more intense, and I don't want to be a child that my mother hates.
Sun Qijing looked at his younger brother next to him, and seeing that he didn't even raise his head, Sun Qijing knew that this little guy was also a sissy.
"Men are in charge of the outside world, while women are in charge of the inside world. Isn't that what you, your mother and I always told each other? You should take care of the things outside by yourselves! I'm just a woman in the inner house and there's nothing I can do about it." Zhao Lingmeng was so confident and had no guilt at all.
"Zhao Lingmeng." Sun Tu was truly angry, and a feeling of powerlessness rose from the bottom of his heart. It felt like Zhao Lingmeng was simply unmovable. No matter how much he pleaded, she wouldn't listen.
When Zhao Lingmeng heard Sun Tu calling her name so loudly, she threw her chopsticks on the table with a bang. She said angrily, "Are you sick? Can't you speak more quietly? I know my own name, and it's making so much noise all day long."
Not only Sun Tu, but also the two children beside him were stunned. Especially Sun Qijing, who was already a bit savvy. He felt that his father really didn't understand the situation. Asking for help could make his mother so angry.
Sun Qijing had always considered his mother a bit timid. Back then, she wouldn't dare contradict anything her grandmother or aunt said. Now, surprisingly, she was furious. With animal instinct, they sensed danger. The two children drank their soup without even looking up, as if they were drinking some fine wine.
Zhao Lingmeng glanced at the two children who were pretending to drink soup in the corner, refusing to leave. Zhao Lingmeng had never raised a child herself, so she didn't know what a normal reaction would be for a child that age in such a situation.
Anyway, Zhao Lingmeng looked at the two quiet children in the corner and thought they were quite well-behaved.
Dong Yuan handed Zhao Lingmeng a pair of clean chopsticks. Zhao Lingmeng took the chopsticks and said while eating, "You are not as sensible as two children. They both knew that I was in confinement and knew not to get angry with me. What's the point of having you as a husband?"
Sun Tu didn't know what to say now, but he didn't leave. He sat down at the table in the room and told the people outside, "Is there any food? Bring me some."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Wu had no choice but to come in and ask, "Master, only Madam has light meals."
"Okay, give me one too!" Sun Tu thought, at least it's free here.
Upon hearing this, Nanny Wu thought that she couldn't make the decision on this matter! So she glanced at her wife. Seeing her wife nodded, Nanny Wu went downstairs to prepare.
Zhao Lingmeng wasn't a saint, but she felt that it was just a meal and wouldn't change anything. As long as she didn't restore Zhou and Sun Yue's health, that would be fine. As for Sun Tu, he had spent so much money, so a meal wouldn't be a big deal.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, Sun Qijing drank the soup in the small bowl in two gulps. Then he said to Zhao Lingmeng obediently, "Mom, I'm done. Can I go out and play?"
When Sun Qiming saw that his so-called brother had finished drinking, he immediately drank it in two gulps as well. He also looked at Zhao Lingmeng and said loudly: "Mom, I've finished drinking too. I want to go play too."
"You two have finished drinking! Jingjing, why don't you and Mingming go to the next room to play? There are a lot of toys in there. You can play with them separately or by yourself. But you are not allowed to monopolize them. You two can take turns playing. Okay?" Zhao Lingmeng said with a hint of negotiation and a bit of coercion.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Sun Qijing first, and saw him nod. Then she looked at Sun Qiming, and saw that the little guy was pretending to look at the floor.
Zhao Lingmeng was not easy to fool. "Sun Qiming, did you hear what your mother said?"
Sun Qiming saw his mother staring at him fiercely and couldn't escape. He glanced at Sun Qijing next to him and nodded reluctantly.
"Brother, let's go." Sun Qiming learned to say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs without any instruction.
Sun Qijing looked at his mother in surprise. He didn't expect that his mother didn't let him let Sun Qiming play, but just let us play by ourselves or play together. In Sun Qijing's heart, he suddenly felt that this mother was not bad.
Then Sun Qijing looked at the guy next to him who was talking but not thinking, thinking that this guy actually wanted to step on me to show off in front of my mother, and immediately took the initiative to walk over and hold Sun Qiming's hand, "Brother, let's go play together."
Sun Tu, who was sitting nearby waiting to eat, was stunned by the scene. Hadn't these two brothers been at odds since childhood? Sun Qijing moved back home just one night, and they fell in love!
When Sun Qijing was passing by Sun Tu with Sun Qiming, he saw his adoptive father looking at him with wide eyes in shock, as if he had never seen the world before.
Sun Qijing rolled his eyes at Sun Tu, as if to say, "Mind your own business!" Sun Tu wanted to stand up and teach this kid who didn't know how to respect his father a lesson. But Sun Qijing was so smart! Seeing that things were not going well, he immediately took Sun Qiming's hand and ran outside.
Sun Qiming also disliked his father. He used to team up with his grandmother and the others to bully his mother, causing her to hide and cry. Sun Qiming thought to himself, "I don't want to like these people." He followed Sun Qijing's lead and ran away.
"Hmph, these two brats." Sun Tu muttered in a low voice. But in his heart, he still liked his two sons very much. They looked very smart.
Zhao Lingmeng also heard it, but she just didn't want to pay attention to him. So she focused on eating and didn't even look at Sun Tu.
Sun Tu looked at the backs of the two little guys who ran away, then glanced at Zhao Lingmeng who was eating in bed. He could only sigh silently.
