Chapter 69: Hate Me?
Emily could not take it anymore. She reached out and pushed Shen Nan away so that Shen Nan could stay away from her. Then, she threatened Shen Nan in a low voice. Seeing the stunned expression on Shen Nan’s face, Emily had to admit that she felt much better now.
“How do you know?”
“You don’t have to care about this. But if you say another word, I’ll tell Third Aunt right away.” Seeing that her threat had worked, Emily smiled triumphantly.
“I won’t say anymore. I’ll shut up right away.”
Shen Nan nervously made a gesture of shutting up. Although he and his little friend were not going out to do bad things, if his mother found out about it, his butt would explode. For the sake of his butt… It was better for him not to provoke Emily.
So much so that when he returned to the Shen family, Shen Nan was still as quiet as usual. Emily greeted her family members and returned to her room. However, Shen Nan did not even open his mouth and hurriedly followed her.
“What are these two doing?”
Third Aunt was a little puzzled, especially about Shen Nan. Shen Nan’s personality was not a peaceful person. His behavior just now was really a little too strange.
Second Aunt looked at Shen Nan’s back and smiled. “Xiao Nan has a mischievous personality. Don’t think too much about it.”
“Did you see the look in that kid’s eyes just now? It’s clearly the look that he doesn’t dare to look at me when he does something bad. This kid must have done something bad behind my back. No, I have to ask him.”
The more Third Aunt thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. As she spoke, she got up and was about to ask Shen Nan about it, but she was stopped by Second Aunt.
“You’re usually too strict with Xiao Nan. Xiao Nan is such a good child. What bad things can he do? I think you’re thinking too much.”
“You don’t know. This rascal, as long as you give him a good attitude, he’ll dare to turn the tables on you. That’s why you can’t get used to it. Tell me, his father and I aren’t like this either. How did we give birth to such a thing?”
Looking at Third Aunt’s disdainful look, Second Aunt could only smile and say nothing. It was an unchanging law that parents could never be at ease when they saw that their children could not do anything well.
“Say, if he was as sensible as his brother and did not let others worry about him since he was young, would I still be staring at him every day? He’s not even eight years old yet, and his leg has been injured three times. If I don’t care about it, how am I going to deal with it?”
Third Aunt was worried. Every time Shen Nan was injured, her heart ached. However, Shen Nan was a child who remembered to eat but not to hit. When he was injured, he always said that he would not do it anymore. In the end, he would forget about it after a few days.”
“Alright, look at you. Xiao Nan has grown up. If you keep hitting him, he will have rebellious thoughts. Moreover, I think that after Millie came recently, Xiao Nan has become much more sensible. Everything has to be done slowly. How can everything be done in one go?”
“That’s true. Tell me, when I saw Millie on the sofa looking so sad today, my heart ached terribly. What do you think happened to Xiao Yu? Wasn’t he fine a while ago? Why did Millie’s entire person change after her forehead injury? Besides, Millie’s forehead has already recovered. Is Xiao Yu still planning to hide from Millie?”
Third Aunt could not help but think of Millie who had been sitting on the sofa in the afternoon. Her eyes flashed with a hint of heartache. She continued, “Do you think I should talk to Xiao Yu? If this continues, Millie will be very sad. I think Millie has lost a lot of weight recently.”
Second Aunt also frowned. She was also worried, but she did not know what to do. Firstly, she was afraid that Shen Yu would not like her and would become the same as before. Secondly, Emily was actually a strong child. They would expose the matter, that child would probably feel even worse.
“Let’s wait and see. Maybe we are thinking too much. Xiao Yu might really have something to do at school.”
Second Aunt struggled for a while in her heart. In the end, she convinced herself to let the children handle their own matters. When the time came, it would not be too late for them to come forward.
After returning to her room, Emily stared at the words on the book. She really could not read a single word. She had already discussed with Bai Yi yesterday that she would not train today because she needed a good rest.
Initially, she thought that she could look for Shen Yu when she had time today, but who knew that Shen Yu would not return like before. This made Emily feel uncomfortable.
