A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1504 - 290: A Mother’s Strength, Born Amid Hardships
"I’m so angry."
A little head peeked in at the door, a timid young girl looked over, Meng Shujing took a deep breath, pulled out a smile, and waved at the little girl: "Xuanxuan, come to grandma."
Wei Xuan ran over, threw herself into Meng Shujing’s arms. Meng Shujing held the thin little body tightly, feeling overwhelming heartache, "Look at this child, she looks so much like your second sister when she was little... I don’t know when your second sister will come home." She sighed deeply.
"Xuanxuan, let auntie hold you." Yan Xing particularly adored this little niece, often holding her for no reason, and Wei Xuan never felt shy, always being gentle and obedient to everyone, making her especially lovable.
Wei Xuan snuggled in Yan Xing’s arms, hugging her shoulders. Yan Xing took the snacks from the table and stuffed them into her hand, "Eat it quickly."
Wei Xuan looked at the snacks in her hand, then glanced up at Yan Xing, as if to confirm she could really eat them. The look made Yan Xing’s heart ache.
"Good child, these are all yours, eat up."
Wei Xuan showed a sweet smile, broke the pastry into two halves, put the larger piece in her pocket and patted it.
Yan Xing understood her intention; she wanted to save that piece of cake for her mom. This child... how can she be so understanding... having gone through such dark things, yet still possessing such a pure heart. Yan Xing suddenly felt a bit teary.
Then Wei Xuan brought the remaining pastry to her mouth, eating it very slowly, as if savoring a rare delicacy.
She had been starved for a long time, found thin and unrecognizable when rescued. After returning, we couldn’t give her heavy nourishment, fearing her body wouldn’t take it. Took her to the hospital for a check-up, lacking many trace elements, seriously malnourished, so much that at six years old, she looked like a two or three-year-old child, the doctor said malnutrition had seriously affected her skeletal development... and many other bodily issues...
After these few days of supplementary nutrition, her little face finally had some flesh. Yan Xing pinched her cheek, laughed: "Little Xuanxuan, how can you be so adorable? Auntie really loves you."
Wei Xuan smiled sweetly, her smile full of sunshine and hope, opened her mouth but made no sound.
At that moment, Yan Nanxiao walked in from outside, seeing Meng Shujing, snorted coldly: "You know to come back?"
"This is my home; why shouldn’t I come back?" Meng Shujing retorted. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Yan Nanxiao hated being contradicted, his anger surged, he walked over wanting to hit Meng Shujing. Seeing grandma being bullied, Wei Xuan swiftly slipped down from Yan Xing’s arms, ran over and hugged Yan Nanxiao’s leg, opening her mouth to bite.
Yan Nanxiao, in pain, kicked Wei Xuan away, the little girl flew away like a kite with its string cut.
"Ah...." Meng Shujing screamed, lunging to fight Yan Nanxiao: "You beast, she’s still a child, what do you have against her? She’s your own niece."
"Unlucky star, only bringing misfortune, go back wherever you came from." Yan Nanxiao pushed Meng Shujing, caught off guard, her head hit the table leg, instantly bleeding.
Yan Xing rushed over to pick up Wei Xuan; Wei Xuan’s face turned pale with pain, but she held back the tears, instead smiling to wipe Yan Xing’s tears. Big teardrops rolled down Yan Xing’s cheeks; she didn’t understand why so much had changed overnight at home. Though father had been foolish, he never mistreated her and mom; yet suddenly, he turned moody, often hitting and cursing mom.
She feared her father, but at this moment, a surge of anger welled up in her chest. She stood up, faced Yan Nanxiao: "Dad, why did you hit mom? Clearly, you’re in the wrong first, Xuanxuan is just a child, she doesn’t understand anything, how could you be so cruel to such a child and say such heartless words to your own granddaughter?"
Yan Nanxiao saw his usually timid youngest daughter dare to contradict him, instantly enraged, "Say what you just said again?"
Yan Xing clenched her fists, held her head high: "What you did was wrong, you should apologize to mom and Xuanxuan, and promise never to do it again...."
"Whack...." A slap landed directly on her face, leaving Yan Xing dazed.
"I’m the king here, you want me to apologize? You’re dreaming, I’ll wake you up with a beating." He threatened, glaring at Meng Shujing: "You only give birth to useless things, Boss got driven out of the house, shamed me. Second went straight to become a monk, I’m ashamed to even mention it, Lao San... dares to defy me, look at what kind of offspring you’ve given me, had I known this, I would have strangled them at birth, so now they don’t infuriate me...."
