Chapter 251: Chapter 251 Uninvited Guest
It felt as if things were developing in a different direction.
He could only give an embarrassed smile and then nod in agreement.
"You do seem quite devoted. Let’s go together now," she said.
Soon, the two of them made their way to the kitchen, ready to lend Li Yanling a helping hand by washing and chopping vegetables.
It must be said that with their help, everything proceeded much faster, and soon a full table of dishes was prepared.
The three sat down together once again.
Anyone unaware might think that they were indeed a family of three.
Honestly, they did look very warm and loving.
At this moment, the young Kai continued speaking.
"Uncle Liu just asked me about the parent-child sports event, and since I was going to tell Mom anyway, it’s supposed to be the day after tomorrow."
Hearing this, Li Yanling immediately nodded.
"Alright, no problem. Mom will make sure to dress up beautifully to attend your parent-child sports day," she said.
The child at the table grinned and then added,
"Mom, you’re already very beautiful without dressing up, I think you’re a thousand times prettier than any other parents I’ve seen!"
Li Yanling couldn’t help but laugh blushing at this compliment.
"You always know how to flatter your mom," she said.
"I’m not flattering, just telling the truth. It’s not flattery, just honest words," the child insisted.
Liu Zheng, watching this heartwarming scene, felt very content, knowing he had played a part in it.
He quickly nodded and added,
"Yes, Kai is right; you’re very pretty even without any makeup."
The three of them were chatting and enjoying their meal together, clearly in a harmonious atmosphere with smiles on their faces, showing that they were all very pleased with one another.
But just when they were happily enjoying their meal, suddenly a series of urgent knocks at the door interrupted them.
The smiles on everyone’s faces faded upon hearing the knocks as a feeling of unease settled over them.
All of them paused, and after a while, Li Yanling spoke up with a troubled face,
"Kai, go see who it is."
Hearing this, Kai wouldn’t just sit there; he immediately stood up, ready to go and see who it was.
But the truth was, they hadn’t opened the door yet, and deep down, they already had a guess as to who it might be.
And they probably guessed right about who was outside.
Who else could it be but that old hag?
Besides her, it was unlikely anyone else would come at this time.
Indeed, when Kai opened the door, he found it was indeed that old hag.
At that moment, Kai’s facial expression instantly darkened; he truly did not want to see her again.
Because in his heart, he had understood who truly cared for him and who was feigning kindness.
"What are you doing here? I’ve packed your luggage and got everything ready for you. You should leave now," he said.
After he had spoken, he even raised his hand to point at the luggage placed at the door.
And upon hearing these words, the old woman was naturally not about to let the matter rest.
She immediately grasped Xiao Kai’s hand tightly and then began to speak.
"Xiao Kai, I am your grandmother, how can you treat me this way, do you realize it’s unfilial!"
If this had been before, Xiao Kai might have been somewhat influenced by these words.
But now things were completely different.
Xiao Kai had indeed grown up.
He knew what he should do and what he should not do, and that Grandma had only been using him to carry out violence against his mom.
No matter what.
He could not allow what had happened before to happen again, nor could he fall back into that same vortex.
Coldly, he addressed the old woman before him.
"Grandma, you’re being utterly ridiculous, don’t pretend that I don’t know how you treated my mom, I understand now, and I won’t be controlled by you anymore!"
"I’ve made myself very clear, my luggage is already packed, and you shouldn’t stay in my mom’s house any longer. You had better leave quickly, as I don’t want to see you again!"
It must be said that Xiao Kai was very determined, showing no hesitation in this matter and acting decisively and efficiently.
This truly gave Liu Zheng great peace of mind.
For to make such a change was by no means easy, at first he had completely trusted Grandma and did not believe in Li Yanling at all.
"Fine, fine, so now the both of you are treating me like this, right? You’re completely unfilial children, and you will definitely go to hell in the future!"
Just then, the old woman seemed to have seen Liu Zheng sitting in the living room through the peephole.
Already fuming with rage, her anger only intensified upon seeing that Liu Zheng was actually inside.
She immediately rushed forward, and before Xiao Kai could react, she was already in front of Liu Zheng and Li Yanling.
Looking at the dishes on the table, she didn’t hesitate to lift her hand and swept them all onto the floor.
It all happened so suddenly that everyone present was stunned.
The next second, she lifted her hand to slap Li Yanling across the face.
However, this time Xiao Kai immediately sprang into action, rushing from the door toward her, trying to stop everything.
But because he was a bit too far away, it was already too late.
At least Liu Zheng was now beside Li Yanling.
He quickly lifted his hand and firmly grasped the old hag’s raised hand.
At this moment, Li Yanling had already closed her eyes, feeling very afraid.
Mainly, it was because she had gone through too much of this before and it had likely become a habit.
She had indeed been hit by the old hag too many times before.
So in this moment, faced with this situation, she had even forgotten to dodge, and just stood there obediently.
If it had been in the past, dodging might have led to a more severe punishment.
She had thought that the slap was about to land on her face, but when she opened her eyes, she found that the hand had already been firmly grasped by Liu Zheng.
