"Aunt Xia, hello, this is my daughter An Xiaotong..."
As she spoke, Liu Jingqiu lowered her head and said to An Xiaotong, "Tongtong, call her Grandma."
Before she could finish speaking, Xia Suya scoffed.
"No wonder my honest and simple daughter-in-law is no match for you. You've figured out your tricks."
"You made your daughter call me 'Grandma' in front of my own granddaughter. Do you want my granddaughter to drift apart from me, or do you think that just because your daughter calls me 'Grandma,' I'll abandon my granddaughter and stop treating your daughter like a treasure?"
In Liu Jingqiu's memory, Xia Suya was quiet and elegant, and always disdained verbal disputes. However, the Xia Suya in front of her immediately saw through her secret schemes, and her words were sharper than knives.
Liu Jingqiu was caught off guard and shook her head repeatedly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Aunt Xia, you've misunderstood. I didn't mean that."
Xia Suya snorted coldly, "Whether you meant it or not, you know it yourself. You've almost ruined the Liu family, and now you're causing trouble here. Liu Jingqiu, let me tell you, my Luo family is not the Liu family that's as docile as a fish. Just because I don't say anything doesn't mean I'm easy to talk to."
Liu Jingqiu lowered her head, looking weak and helpless, but Xia Suya wouldn't take such low-level tactics seriously.
"Don't blame me for not warning you. Not to mention me and my husband Luo, even Shicheng, if he knew you dared to lie to him, would go crazy and no one could stop him."
Despite the sweltering summer heat, Liu Jingqiu shivered upon hearing this and was rendered speechless, unable to utter a single word of explanation.
"Whose house are you from?" Xia Suya asked again.
This place is full of high-ranking military officers. Liu Jingqiu could only be here so early in the morning if he knew someone here.
Liu Jingqiu remained silent.
She had long been dissatisfied with Xia Suya's fierce way of talking about her mother, and decided to use An Xiaotong, who was extremely powerful in her maternal grandparents' family, to intimidate Xia Suya with her hands on her hips.
“We live at your maternal grandfather’s house; you can’t come in.”
An Xiaotong snorted, her head almost reaching the sky.
Did Liu Jingqiu find her biological parents? Xia Suya asked An Xiaotong.
Whose family is your maternal grandfather's?
An Xiaotong pointed at the Chu family and said, "My maternal grandfather is Chu Tonghai. That'll scare you to death."
Chu Tonghai, very good. Xia Suya nodded with a smile.
"Liu Jingqiu, I'm giving you three days to move out of Jiangcheng, or you'll face the consequences."
Judging from Liu Jingqiu and An Xiaotong's arrogant manner, Chu Tonghai might not be an honest man. It wouldn't hurt to teach them a lesson.
Liu Jingqiu didn't know what Xia Suya did, but her dangerous intuition made her nod subconsciously.
As for whether they will really move away, well, unless Xia Suya stays here every day.
Xia Suya didn't take Liu Jingqiu seriously at all, and went back to pick up Luo Yan.
Sun Bailing was followed by his wife Xiao Rong. As soon as Xiao Rong saw Xia Suya, she immediately invited Xia Suya in.
"Sister-in-law, it's rare for you to come all the way here. Why didn't you stay at my house? We just made breakfast. Come in and have some."
Xia Suya's attitude towards Xiao Rong was lukewarm. "No, my daughter-in-law has prepared breakfast and is waiting for me to come back to eat."
Xiao Rong laughed and said, "What can a girl from a humble family do? Come and try my aunt's cooking. It's just as good as the chefs in Beijing."
Xia Suya said coldly, "The chef's dishes are just more elaborate in appearance, how can they compare to what my daughter-in-law makes by hand? Besides, I just like the simple, homey taste of home cooking..."
After saying goodbye to Sun Bailing, Xia Suya turned and walked back.
Xia Suya had only taken a few steps when she felt a stumbling block. Looking down, she saw Xiao Xiu tugging at her clothes, following closely behind.
Chen Yuanshan came over and stopped Xiao Xiu.
"Uncle Chen will take you to kindergarten, and then take you home to find Yan Yan after school, okay?"
Xiao Xiu pulled his hand away from Chen Yuanshan's grasp, hugged Xia Suya's leg tightly, and looked up at her with pleading eyes.
Xia Suya smiled, "I won't go to kindergarten today. I'll stay home and play with Yanyan."
Xiao Xiu jumped up happily, waved goodbye to Chen Yuanshan, and ran home.
Chen Yuanshan watched them leave and clicked his tongue, "Aunt Xia, you're going to spoil the child too much."
Xia Suya scoffed, "I spoiled all four of my children from a young age, and look at them, none of them have gone astray."
Chen Yuanshan, "..."
Seeing Chen Yuanshan get the short end of the stick, Luo Yan clapped her hands and laughed.
Chen Yuanshan smiled wryly, raised his hand and gently pinched Luo Yan's little nose, which made Xia Suya laugh as well.
...
Xia Suya chatted with Hua Li for half the night, causing Hua Li to completely oversleep the next day.
Hua Li glanced at the time; it was already past seven in the morning. She jumped out of bed.
Last night, Hua Li asked Xia Suya to stay in the master bedroom, but Xia Suya refused and stayed in the guest room where Luo Shicheng slept. At this moment, the guest room door was wide open, and it was obvious that Xia Suya had already gotten up.
When Hua Li walked into the kitchen, she saw Aunt Shi cooking, but did not see Xia Suya and Luo Yan. She asked Aunt Shi nervously.
"Aunt Shi, where is Yan Yan?"
Still haunted by the loss of her child, Hua Li is afraid whenever she can't see Luo Yan.
Aunt Shi smiled and said, "Your Yan Yan took her grandma for a walk."
Upon hearing this, Hua Li's anxiety subsided, and she helped Aunt Shi with the chores.
After Aunt Shi finished cooking and left, Hua Li waited for a long time but Xia Suya and Luo Yan still didn't return. Just as she was about to go out to look for them, she saw Xiao Xiu running home as soon as she stepped out of the courtyard gate, with Xia Suya following slowly behind, carrying Luo Yan in her arms.
Hua Li quickly stepped forward and reached out to Luo Yan, but Xia Suya turned away to avoid it.
She finally got to hold her granddaughter, so she's going to enjoy it to the fullest. Why should her mother try to take it from her?
Hua Li smiled and withdrew her hand that was hanging in mid-air. "Mom, the food is ready. Let's eat."
Xia Suya hummed in agreement and asked Luo Yan with pity, "Is Yan Yan hungry?"
Luo Yan nodded, "Grandma, eat."
Xia Suya's nose tingled with emotion. "Oh my, my precious granddaughter even knows to worry about whether Grandma is hungry."
She meant that Grandma also needs to eat, how could you interpret it like that? But whatever makes you happy.
Xia Suya led Luo Yan and Xiao Xiu to wash their hands, and after washing their hands, they sat down at the dining table together.
Xiao Xiu had already eaten at the Sun family's house, so she took charge of feeding Luo Yan.
Xia Suya and Hua Li don't need to worry about Luo Yan; they can just focus on eating their own food.
Xia Suya sighed as she watched Xiao Xiu take meticulous care of Luo Yan.
"These two kids have a really good relationship, especially Xiao Xiu, who is so sensible. No wonder you are willing to keep them and raise them."
"Xiao Xiu is indeed a sensible child..."
As she spoke, Hua Li sighed.
"Oh, you don't know, when I first found Xiao Xiu, she was covered in injuries and was so hungry that she sneaked into my house to find something to eat. I happened to have locked Yan Yan in the house alone, and even so, Xiao Xiu didn't hurt Yan Yan at all. She even took care of Yan Yan."
Xia Suya felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this, and changed the subject, saying, "This stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar is quite good today, delicious."
Hua Li explained embarrassedly, "Aunt Shi cooked all the meals, not me..."
Xia Suya said confidently, "The food tastes like the food cooked in whose pot it is. Aunt Shi can't make it taste the same when she goes back to Old Sun's pot."
Hua Li was both amused and exasperated by what she heard, but felt an indescribable warmth in her heart.
