Xiao Yue didn’t notice Quan Yu’s gaze had sharpened. Before Quan Yu could say anything, Ah Si suddenly looked around and asked in panic, “Brother, where’s your son?”
“Rou Rou? He’s behind me.” Ah Zhong turned around and his expression shifted. Where is that kid?
Once Quan Yu heard that, he immediately abandoned Xiao Yue to help look for Rou Rou. The boy probably wandered off when he was dealing with this woman.
Mo Li led the boy as they walked along the buffet tables.
“He is so cute! When are you two going to give me one to play with?”
“Rou Rou, greet grandma!” Mo Li poked Rou Rou’s cheek and smiled. But Rou Rou shook his head when he saw Jiang Yao. Mo Li was confused. Based on her knowledge, the boy was never shy around strangers.
“I won’t call her grandma, because she is pretty auntie! Pretty auntie is pretty sister’s mother!”
“Oh, you are such a treasure!” Jiang Yao was tickled. She pinched Mo Yun beside her, blaming him for not giving her a grandchild to play with.
“Mom, what are you doing? You still have Mo Li! She’ll be a mother before I do.” Mo Yi and Jiang Yao immediately glared at him. Mo Yi turned to glare at the other boys at the party who were sneaking glances at Mo Li. “Hmph, these brats really think they have a chance with our daughter? Over my dead body!”
“That’s right! Li Li is still so young. She is not to be in a relationship until she’s 25! No, after 35!”
“What are grandpa and pretty auntie talking about? Rou Rou wants to know to!”
Mo Yi chuckled self-deprecatingly when he heard Rou Rou call him grandpa. However, he couldn’t help but pinch the boy’s face because he was too cute.
“You are so cute, worthy of the Mo Family name!”
“Dad, he is not one of the family. Mo Li found him at the party.” Mo Yun sighed when he saw the glow in his father’s eyes.
“But look at his eyes, nose, brows, they are…”
“Absolutely unlike the Mo Family’s.”
Jiang Yao glared at her son. Mo Yun could always find a way to ruin their mood.
“Li Li, why don’t you bring Rou Rou to find his father. He must be worried sick.” That was what Jiang Yao said, but she couldn’t bear to part with Rou Rou.
Mo Yi smiled brightly as he studied Rou Rou who was eating the snacks. He asked, “Rou Rou, do you like these snacks? Grandpa has more of them at home!”
Rou Rou’s interest was immediately piqued. “Handsome uncle, can you give them to Rou Rou then?”
Mo Li and Mo Yun shivered when they saw their father take on the persona of the evil witch from those common fairy tales. “Of course, Rou Rou, come home with me and you’ll have all the snacks you can eat~”
Rou Rou was immediately hooked. Mo Yi had grasped the child’s weakness. “Okay, Rou Rou will go inform daddy about this.”
Rou Rou jumped out from Mo Li’s embrace and ran towards Ah Zhong rubbing his tummy.
“Brother Yu, what are you looking for?” Just as Xiao Yue said that, she felt something flutter under her billowing dress. She looked down and saw Rou Rou who was crawling out from under her dress. Rou Rou’s oily hands grabbed Xiao Yue’s dress and left behind 2 small handprints.
“Sister, have you seen Rou Rou’s father?”
“Ah! Where did this beggar child come from? Someone throw him out immediately! Do you know how much my dress cost? You have ruined it with your dirty hands!” Xiao Yue didn’t expect the child to sneak up on her. Her dress was on loan and oil stains were very hard to remove.
Xiao Yue’s stern tone scared Rou Rou that he started to tear up. Xiao Yue’s scolding also grabbed the guest’s attention.
“It’s a dress from last season. Do you need to act like that?” Mo Li’s voice rang out. Rou Rou turned to Mo Li with tears streaming down his face.
“Rou Rou, come to auntie.” Jiang Yao was surprised that the daughter of the Xiao Family had such poor upbringing. How could an adult treat a child like that?
Rou Rou shook his head. “Daddy told me… that if I do something wrong, Rou Rou needs to apologize. I shouldn’t have dirtied big sister’s dress. This is Rou Rou’s fault.”
Everyone was impressed by the boy’s maturity. In contrast, Xiao Yue looked so immature and cruel. Just like Mo Li said, Xiao Yue’s dress was from last season. It shouldn’t cost that much to the Xiao Family. There was no reason to berate a child over it.
Hearing the commotion, Xiao Ming turned to Xiao Yue. “What’s happening?”
