Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1326: Chapter 1213: (Part 4)

"You and Jian are out playing too?"

Ming Wei asked Xiao Tong.

"Yes. Dad kicked us out. He’s worried Jian and I will turn into bookworms." Xiao Tong, a gentle little girl, replied softly.

Ming Wei: "My mom often tells my brothers and me that whether it’s studying or working, we need to balance work and leisure."

"Yes, my dad says the same thing." Xiao Tong nodded and smiled.

Ming Wei turned to Jian: "Han Qian said she wants to marry you when she grows up. Do you like her?" Wen Yi felt a bit uneasy as she heard Ming Wei ask Jian about what she had said.

Jian’s cheeks turned red, as he glared at Ming Wei: "I’m not familiar with her, and I won’t marry her when I grow up!" He turned his eyes to Xiao Tong: "Sis, I’m going home."

With that, Jian turned and left.

"Dad told us to go out and play!"

Xiao Tong grabbed Jian’s arm: "Are you mad at Vivi?"

"No."

Jian shook his head: "I just think playing outside is boring." His gaze fell on the hand Xiao Tong was using to grab his arm, and Jian stared at it steadily.

Xiao Tong, feeling his gaze, involuntarily let go.

After Jian walked away, Xiao Tong said: "Vivi, Jian isn’t mad at you, don’t be upset."

"I’m not upset." Ming Wei shook her head and asked Xiao Tong: "Why didn’t you bring Xiao Xuan out?" Xiao Xuan is Shen Yun’s son with Xiao Jin, Xiao Tong’s half-brother on her father’s side.

Hmm, and he shares a mother with Jian, but has a different father.

Xiao Tong: "My grandma took Xiao Xuan to their compound yesterday."

Ming Wei responded "Oh," and then, with a few other little girls, started playing a game of sandbag toss.

...

Shen family.

"You want to see Jian?" In the living room, Mrs. Shen sat on the sofa, quietly watching her previous son-in-law, Austin, for a while. She thought about what Austin had said, and after some time, she spoke to confirm his sudden appearance.

Truth be told, this was Mrs. Shen’s first time meeting Austin, but she thought Austin seemed alright, believing that this previous son-in-law probably had no issues with his character.

But still, her daughter got divorced. She suspected that there were some exaggerations in the explanations given after returning home.

"Yes, I’m here partly for business and partly because I want to see Jian. Ever since Jian and his mother left me, I haven’t seen him. I am undoubtedly an inadequate father to Jian."

Austin sat upright, his demeanor calm and composed, giving off a gentlemanly impression.

Wen Yi blinked, a bit uncertain, saying: "Not two, but three?"

"You’re right!" Ming Wei’s clear voice carried a smile as she said: "My mom had two brothers and a sister, they’re all very good-looking, you’ll definitely like them when you meet them!"

Unexpectedly, the smile on Wen Yi’s face disappeared. She tugged on Ming Wei’s sleeve, pulling her aside and whispered: "Vivi, Aunt Kang had a baby, and suddenly three of them. Would she stop liking you and your brothers?"

Ming Wei replied seriously and confidently: "No! My brothers and I are also her children, she wouldn’t stop liking us."

"Vivi... do you really trust Aunt Kang that much?"

"My mom is the best mom in the world, of course, I trust her. Besides, my brothers and I are very well-behaved, she has no reason not to like us."

"Vivi, it’s not that I don’t trust Aunt Kang to treat you and your brothers like before, but now she has her own babies, just like Auntie Su in our house, she doesn’t treat me, my elder sister, or little sister Xiao Yu well at all."

After hearing what Wen Yi said, Ming Wei blinked: "Sister Wen Yi, Auntie Su didn’t treat you, Sister Wen Yue, or Wen Yu well even before having Wen Peng. She’s completely different from my mom, don’t compare Auntie Su to my mom, or I’ll get mad!"

"I’m sorry... Vivi, I overthought it."

Wen Yi held onto Ming Wei’s hand, shaking it gently, saying: "Please don’t blame me, okay? I’m just concerned about you, I didn’t mean to speak badly about Aunt Kang."

"I’m not blaming you, but Sister Wen Yi, you really shouldn’t compare my mom to Auntie Su." Ming Wei’s face still showed some baby fat, she puffed her cheeks, looking adorably annoyed: "Sister Wen Yi, I don’t like hearing bad things about my mom, not at all. In my heart, my mom is my Little Fairy, the best mom ever!"

Wen Yi bit her lip, and after a while, she said: "Vivi, I’ve always been envious of you. Aunt Kang and our Auntie Su are both stepmothers, but Aunt Kang treated you and your brothers well from the moment she became your stepmother, while our Auntie Su pretended to be good to me and my sister at first... soon after, she started losing her temper at us, even hitting and scolding us..."

"Does Uncle Wen know?"

Ming Wei tilted her head and asked.

"He knows, but it doesn’t help."

Wen Yi replied dejectedly: "From last year to this year, whenever my dad came home for a break, Auntie Su would argue with my dad."

"I’ve heard it before." Ming Wei furrowed her brow: "Auntie Su shouldn’t do that. Uncle Wen works so hard, and when he finally gets home to rest, Auntie Su still has to cause trouble, that’s not right."

"I’m not upset." Ming Wei shook her head and asked Xiao Tong: "Why didn’t you bring Xiao Xuan out?" Xiao Xuan is Shen Yun’s son with Xiao Jin, Xiao Tong’s half-brother on her father’s side.

Hmm, and he shares a mother with Jian, but has a different father.

Xiao Tong: "My grandma took Xiao Xuan to their compound yesterday."

Ming Wei responded "Oh," and then, with a few other little girls, started playing a game of sandbag toss.
