Chapter 226: Chapter 227: Let’s Go Find Daddy!
Translator: 549690339
After Lingyue transferred to school in Jiang City and became classmates with Qu Yinyin, it took no more than two days for the entire class to know that Lingyue was a “jinx”, whoever hung out with Lingyue would be out of luck.
Lingyue was isolated.
The only relative he had passed away unexpectedly and he was thrown into a strange environment. The people around him had ill-intentions towards him. Nobody talked to him, nobody interacted with him, Lingyue was becoming lonelier and more silent each day.
Ye Xingbei empathized with him deeply.
After all, she was treated the same way by Jiang Siyou and Jiang Lingyu when she returned to the Jiang Family.
But back then, she was already fifteen, being capable of escaping from a forced marriage.
Lingyue, on the other hand, was only eight, still a confused child.
Perhaps it was because she had been through similar experiences, Ye Xingbei particularly pitied Lingyue and tried her best to treat him well.
Ever since she brought Lingyue by her side, whatever Xiao Shu had, Lingyue was sure to share.
Considering her age, she might not dare to say that she treated Lingyue as her own, but certainly, like an elder sister, she was doing her best to treat Lingyue well.
Lingyue was also a kind and sensible child. If anyone showed him a bit of kindness, he wished to repay them with tenfold.
He was just an eight-year-old kid, yet he behaved like a small adult, sticking by Xiao Shu, guarding him as if guarding the apple of his own eyes.
He is a good-hearted and righteous kid. Whoever raises him, this child will certainly give back more when he grows up.
Ye Xingbei simply could not understand what Xie Wennan was thinking.
Ling Fangzhou did not trick her into marriage.
Before they got married, Ling Fangzhou had made it clear to her that they would raise Lingyue together after they got married.
But after they got married, Xie Wennan immediately went back on her word and saw Lingyue as a thorn in her side.
Some might say, being a stepmother is tough. So long as they don’t hit, scold, or abuse the child, they should be considered good stepmothers.
But Ye Xingbei can’t agree with that.
After all, although Xie Wennan doesn’t hit, scold, or abuse Lingyue, her cold violence is still a form of violence and it’s even more harmful.
After all, physical violence hurts the body, while cold violence hurts the spirit.
Most individuals who commit crimes or are mentally ill when they grow up are those who had an unhappy childhood and an unhappy family.
If Lingyue hadn’t helped Xiao Shu, and she hadn’t brought Lingyue to the Gu Family to thank him, she would have been really worried that such a good child would end up being ruined under Xie Wennan’s care.
At first, Ye Xingbei thought that once Lingyue recovered from his wounds and his stepmother came to pick him up, she would let Lingyue go back.
But the more people interact with each other, the deeper their feelings become.
After interacting with Lingyue for a while, she became attached to him and hoped to keep him by her side a bit longer.
When it became absolutely necessary to let him go, she would send him back.
It seems that it would be no problem for her to keep Lingyue for a few more months.
Ling Fangzhou had just left on a mission and reportedly wouldn’t be back for several months.
Xie Wennan didn’t care about Lingyue at all and probably wished Lingyue would disappear and never return.
Ye Xingbei gently stroked the top of Lingyue’s head with affection, “It’s all right, things will be different from now on. You have your aunt and Xiao Shu. We’ll always be with you!”
Even if he was taken back to the Ling family, she would always keep an eye on him and wouldn’t let him go astray.
Lingyue nodded and said softly, “Thankyou, Auntie.”
“Good boy!” Ye Xingbei rubbed him with a smile, calling out to the rampaging Xiao Shumiao, “Xiao Shu, let’s go, it’s time to find daddy!”
“Yeah! Let’s go find daddy!” The little guy cheerfully ran back, took Lingyue’s hand, and ran towards where their car was parked, his little short legs moving eagerly.
