Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 578 - 577: If you like Xiaoxiao, just like her.
Chapter 578: Chapter 577: If you like Xiaoxiao, just like her.
After meeting with the Old Lady Su, Mianmian stood at the doorway waiting for the two would-be grandnephews. Today, the elders had also taken on the task of picking up the two boys.
The primary school finished later than usual, so Liao An and the others were picked up by a bodyguard.
While waiting, Li Jing and Pan Li were led over by a middle-aged man in a suit.
Upon first glance, Mianmian recognized the man’s identity.
He was the vagabond who had raised Li Jing and had aided the elderly Li Cuihua in the original trajectory of her fate.
Now that Li Jing and Li Cuihua had recognized each other, his adoptive father was treated well by Li Cuihua. He looked very clean, showing no signs of his past homelessness.
"Um, greetings to the elders, and to Little Auntie," the man greeted with restraint, bowing with the two children before adding, "I, I am Zhao Gang, the foster father of Li Jing and Li Li. Thanks to Little Auntie for looking after the boys in class, I would like to invite Little Auntie and the elders for a simple meal, if I may have the opportunity."
Just then, Situ Zha arrived, brought over by his stepfather, Han Yu, to greet the former bosses.
Zhao Gang appeared somewhat anxious. After Han Yu had finished speaking, Zhao Gang extended the invitation to Han Yu and Situ Zha as well.
After looking at Zhao Gang, Han Yu bent down to ask for Situ Zha’s opinion, "Would you like to dine with them?"
On Mianmian’s side, the two elders were awaiting her response.
Mianmian tilted her head, thought about her current relationship with Zhao Gang’s family, and nodded, "That would be nice, let’s go have that simple meal~"
She was now a boss, and it should be correct for a boss to get along well with their subordinates’ families, right?
Mianmian was not entirely sure but decided to go with her instincts and figure it out as she went along. After all, the zoo and the amusement park were hers, and she had to take responsibility for them.
With Mianmian’s agreement, Situ Zha also consented, "Then we’ll join you."
After agreeing, Situ Zha felt a mix of emotions. Was he about to have dinner with his "former father", as well as his current dad?
No, no, he shouldn’t think like that. The Li Jing here was just a namesake and not the reincarnation of the Li Jing he imagined!
Situ Zha shook his head repeatedly.
Elder Su was discreetly observing Situ Zha and, seeing him shake his head, picked up Mianmian and quietly asked, "What’s wrong with Situ Zha?""
Elder Su knew that Situ Zha was the reincarnation of Nezha and refrained from commenting about his interest in mythology to avoid scaring others. Hence, he treated Situ Zha the way one would treat any ordinary person.
"It’s nothing," Mianmian hadn’t yet told her grandnephew about Li Jing, and now was not the best time for that, so she quietly added, "Grandnephew, this little friend is Li Jing, and this is Li Li."
Elder Su was not the kind of person to be easily confused. Hearing the name Li Jing, he started to get an idea.
He glanced at Han Yu, Situ Zha’s stepfather, then at the child Li Jing, and his feelings became complex as well.
Being the reincarnation of a deity was not easy—after reincarnation, one’s children might not be recognized as such, leading to such awkward situations!
Before long, Old Lady Su picked up Su Chaoyang and Su Chaoyu.
The whole group then followed Zhao Gang’s car to a three-star restaurant.
Zhao Gang courteously invited everyone into a private dining room and handed the menu to Mianmian to order.
Mianmian ordered a few dishes just for formality, and as she finished ordering, a little monkey squeezed into her arms.
Xiaoxiao now had his own thoughts, all sly and crafty.
He went wherever he wanted and did not often stay with Mianmian. Although he came with Elder Su and Old Lady Su to pick up Mianmian today, he spent most of his time with the bodyguard assigned to him, directing him to places he found interesting.
At that moment, Xiaoxiao rested his chin on the table, looking curiously at the people seated around with his bright, round eyes.
Elder Su was originally instructing the waiter to bring some high-end fresh fruits, but before he could finish his sentence, Xiaoxiao hopped onto him in a few swift moves.
His fluffy little hands waved about, and his small head kept shaking: "Squeak, squeak, squeak."
"Big cousin, Xiaoxiao doesn’t want to eat the fruits from the restaurant; Mianmian will give him fruits to eat," said Xiaoxiao.
Upon hearing this, Elder Su changed his instructions and asked the waiter to bring some toys for the kids instead.
The waiter undertook the duty and returned shortly with some toys suitable for children, assuming that Elder Su wanted to give the toys to the kids to play with, so he immediately began to distribute them to the children present.
Seeing that the toys were about to be given away, Elder Su hurriedly said, "Wait, don’t give them all away, these toys are for our little Xiaoxiao."
Old Lady Su nudged Elder Su to remind him to be a bit more mindful.
It was all well and good to indulge the little monkey at home, but doing the same in public and putting the monkey before his grandsons wasn’t quite appropriate.
Elder Su, reminded by his spouse, smiled at his two grandsons: "Our little Xiaoxiao is younger than you both, it’s very suitable for him to play with toys, don’t you think?"
Su Chaoyang and Su Chaoyu exchanged a glance; Su Chaoyu spoke up, "Grandpa, if you like Xiaoxiao then you just like him, we don’t mind."
Su Chaoyang also said, "Yeah, yeah, we don’t mind. We’ve grown up; we’re not the petty kids we used to be."
When they referred to being petty, they meant the time when Mianmian first joined the Su Family. Back then, the two mischievous children had felt a bit sore, worrying that Mianmian would steal away their affection. As it turned out, not only did their love not get stolen, but now they could even play with the little animals, and their mom and dad had promised to get them a puppy of their own in a few days.
Everyone has things they like and dislike, which is quite normal.
So, there was nothing wrong with grandpa doting on the little monkey that Little Auntie brought back!
After Su Chaoyang and Su Chaoyu finished speaking, they pushed the toys in their hands towards Xiaoxiao. Then, both of them ran to Situ Zha’s side and stared at him, one on the left and one on the right.
Situ Zha: "You two got anything to say?"
Su Chaoyu said with a smile, "No, we just wanted to look at you."
Su Chaoyang also said with a smile, "Yes, we just wanted to take a look at you."
Situ Zha: ...
All right then.
Situ Zha carried on with his own things, fiddling with the toys that the waiter had brought over.
He then noticed that the two children weren’t actually getting too close, but were just watching his every move. Whenever he played with the toys, they watched; whenever he looked at someone else, they kept their eyes on him.
It was essentially a stare down harassment. freewebnσvel.cѳm
This feeling was a bit uncomfortable.
Situ Zha frowned, "Stop staring at me, you two, it’s annoying!"
The twins showed the same smile, didn’t respond, and kept their silence, continuing to stare at Situ Zha.
Situ Zha waved his fist, "Keep looking and I’ll get serious."
The twins still acted as if they hadn’t heard and continued watching him.
Situ Zha couldn’t really hit them, so he had no choice but to complain to Mianmian, "What’s with these two great-nephews of yours?"
Mianmian didn’t know either, so she shook her head, suspecting that the two great-nephews were suddenly interested in Situ Zha.
But in fact, the twins were thinking: Situ Zha is very strong, and they can’t beat him. But since Situ Zha indeed had been controlled and had hurt Little Auntie, they wanted to take this opportunity to stare at him as a small act of vengeance for their Little Auntie!
