Chapter 53 So angry I wanted to grind my teeth
Nine-year-old Li Erya wasn't afraid of her, after all, the little princess wasn't even as tall as a person's thigh at this point.
She mimicked her mother's sharp and sarcastic tone, saying, "A lazy and greedy girl like you will never find a man when you grow up!"
This is a phrase her mother often uses, employing Helian Jiao as a negative example to educate her daughters.
Gu Tingyun frowned upon hearing this. This girl was far too unreserved; he worried she might corrupt his little turtle.
Helian Jiao rolled her eyes at her, her sweet, childlike voice ringing out loudly and forcefully: "Mind your own business!"
This is what my grandmother did when someone said something like that before.
The little princess has completely mastered her grandmother's style; her cheeky tone and adorable expressions are enough to make anyone's teeth itch.
Li Erya was not only itching to fight, but also itching to beat her up. She was so angry that she wanted to rush up and give her a good beating, but she didn't dare to actually do it.
Because every time Helian Jiao got into a fight with other children, no matter who started it or who won or lost, Ma Xiulian, who doted on her granddaughter, would storm into the other party's house and yell at them for two hours straight without stopping.
But she always managed to be in the right, so the other parents couldn't win an argument or reason with her, and in the end they could only apologize with their noses in their mouths.
This happened last time too!
It was clearly her younger sister, Sanya, who had a front tooth knocked out by this fierce girl, but her family still had to apologize to this brat, and Sanya even got a beating from her mother.
After that, she warned them not to provoke this brat, or Ma Xiulian would skin them alive if she came to their door cursing.
Cursing was useless, and hitting was also ineffective. Feeling extremely frustrated, Li Erya cursed viciously, "Just wait and see if you can remain an old maid for the rest of your life!"
Then he angrily walked away with the pig feed on his back.
Helian Jiao didn't even flinch, while Gu Tingyun looked at her seriously and said, "Sweetie, you're not allowed to play with her anymore."
Helian Jiao pouted and said with a look of disgust, "I'm not going to play with her!"
Dragons are very petty and hold grudges, especially against those who dare to try to steal food from their mouths.
So Gu Tingyun felt relieved and then sincerely praised, "My darling, you are very pretty and cute. You will definitely be liked by many people in the future."
Helian Jiao immediately beamed and said, "Of course I'm the prettiest and cutest!"
She's incredibly narcissistic and vain.
Gu Tingyun nodded in agreement, "Yes, my darling is the prettiest and cutest."
Upon hearing this, Helian Jiao reflexively covered her face and took two steps back, shouting, "Don't pinch my face!"
In the past, every time the big bad dragon praised her for being cute, he would pinch her cheeks or pinch her nose so that she would breathe through her mouth.
Thinking of this, the little princess quickly covered her nose again.
A hint of regret flashed in Gu's eyes as he realized his little scheme had been seen through. He reached out his hand to her and said, "I won't pinch you. Come here, let's go home."
Upon hearing this, the wary look on Helian Jiao's face vanished instantly.
Although the big bad dragon often teased her, he never lied to her.
He muttered, "It's my home, not yours."
As she spoke, Gu Tingyun walked over and took her little hand again, readily changing his tune: "Yes, let's go back to my darling's home."
After returning to the Chen family home, Helian Jiao took out a red string and said, "Let's play cat's cradle!"
Young Master Gu, who has considered himself a man since he was one year old: "...Okay."
For the sake of the little turtle, he'll reluctantly play a little girl's game just this once.
