Chapter 357: Chapter 358: There’s Meat to Eat When Following Brother Xiao Yue

Translator: 549690339

Her own thoughts startled her, making her gentle smile even more warm and lovable.

She must take Lingyue back home!

The Gu Family couldn’t be allowed to adopt Lingyue!

Once she brought Lingyue back, she’d pull out all the stops to treat him well, and make him appreciate, depend, and listen to her.

Then, she’d gradually alienate Lingyue from the Gu Family, causing the distance between them to widen until they completely cut ties and refused to have anything to do with each other. Then Lingyue would be entirely within her control!

Thinking of a Lingyue, completely cut off from the Gu Family and subservient to her, she smiled even more affectionately: “Xiao Yue, your father and mother have come to see you.”

Ling Fangzhou frowned at her, greeting Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei first: “Young Master Gu, Madam Gu, sorry to intrude on you again.”

Xie Wennan was embarrassed immediately.

She was so focused on coaxing Lingyue back home that she forgot to greet the hosts.

This was basic courtesy, and yet she had forgotten.

She hurriedly smiled at Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei, saying politely: “Young Master Gu, Madam Gu, thank you for looking after Xiao Yue during this time! Recently, Xiao Yue’s younger siblings and I fell ill, we didn’t want to risk infecting Xiao Yue, so he stayed at your home for a while. Now that the children and I have recovered and Fangzhou is back, we would like to take Xiao Yue home. Xiao Yue is our responsibility, and we do not wish him to trouble you any further.”

“You’re lying!” Xiao Shumiao, clutching Lingyue’s hand tightly, jumped off the sofa. His big eyes, full of hostility, glared at Xie Wennan: “You’re a bad egg, a liar, you’re lying!”

Anxious that his parents would fall for her lies, Xiao Shumiao grabbed Gu Junzhu’shand and shook it vigorously, “Dad, she’s a liar, she’s lying!”

He couldn’t exactly articulate how she was lying.

But he knew for sure, the woman standing across from him, smiling with a false air, was a liar trying to trick his Brother Xiaoyue into going home.

He wouldn’t let Brother Xiaoyue go home.

At his home, Brother Xiaoyue could eat lots of delicious food, but if he went home, the bad woman wouldn’t feed Brother Xiaoyue, and Brother Xiaoyue would get thin from hunger again!

Being hungry was extremely uncomfortable, he definitely wouldn’t let Brother Xiaoyue go home to starve.

He wanted Brother Xiaoyue to stay at his home forever and ever, where Brother Xiaoyue would always have meat to eat!

Gu Junzhu stroked his small head soothingly, cooing at him, “Alright, alright, Dad knows, she’s a liar, she’s lying, don’t worry!”

Xie Wennan’s face was a picture of embarrassment, her smile barely holding.

When a child claimed she was a liar, she could comfort herself by saying he didn’t know better.

But when an extraordinarily distinguished and noble man also called her a liar, it was extremely uncomfortable.

She felt heat creeping on her face, overwhelming shame made her want to turn and run away, to leave immediately.

But, she couldn’t.

She promised Ling Fangzhou last night that she would take Lingyue home.

Even if she hadn’t made that promise, she wouldn’t allow Lingyue to build a good relationship with such a prestigious family.

She must take Lingyue back home.

She must!

She forced herself to smile gently and kindly, speaking softly to Xiao Shumiao: “Dear child, you’ve misunderstood Auntie, I’m not a liar! I’m Xiao Yue’s mom, and I want to bring Xiao Yue home! Only with their parents can a child call a place home, you wouldn’t want to live away from your mom and dad, would you? The same goes for Xiao Yue, only when a child’s with their parents can they grow up healthy and happy. So, dear child, will you let Xiao Yue go home with Auntie?”
