Chapter 313: Chapter 306: Are You Two Fighting?
Wu Chengzu just left Wu Jingjing with Bai Yiran and left. Looking at the poor child, she couldnât just ignore her, so she helplessly took Wu Jingjing back to her home.
Sister Liu was astonished to see Bai Yiran bring a dirty child home, but after hearing about Wu Jingjingâs plight, she sympathized deeply with her. She was a mother too; if this childâs mom knew her daughter was suffering such a fate, she would surely be heartbroken.
Xiao Lang was happy to have an older sister at home. Taking advantage of Wu Jingjingâs cleaning and freshening up, he rushed back to his room and got out all the toys he liked, waiting to play with his sister later.
Bai Yiran helplessly watched the unusually excited Xiao Lang; this kid really doesnât hold back.
After a while, Wu Jingjing, clean, dressed in Bai Yiranâs clothes, walked out. Since the clothes were too big, Wu Jingjing had to roll up the sleeves and cuffs, looking very loose and particularly funny.
Wu Jingjing scratched her head and stood there somewhat awkwardly looking at Bai Yiran, "Sister... Iâm done washing."
"Sister?" Xiao Lang said with a smile, "I call you sister, you call my mom sister, everyone is a sister!"
"You little brat! Whoâs your sister!"
Being spoken to like that by Wu Jingjing, Xiao Lang felt like his enthusiasm had been quenched, and he looked at Bai Yiran with a face full of grievance.
Bai Yiran sighed; this Wu Jingjing really wasnât cute.
Actually, as soon as she spoke, Wu Jingjing regretted it. She was just jealous that Xiao Lang had a gentle mom like Bai Yiran, while she had no mom, her dad didnât like her, and she was bullied by her aunt and her auntâs boyfriend... all of this made Wu Jingjing feel inferior. So, when she saw Xiao Lang laughing so brightly, her words instinctively carried hostility.
Bai Yiran rubbed Xiao Langâs head and softly said, "Sister is a bit tired, let her rest first, and she can play with Xiao Lang tomorrow."
Xiao Lang looked at Wu Jingjing with grievance, murmuring, "Then sister, have a good rest, we can play together tomorrow."
Wu Jingjingâs face shifted, but she eventually nodded and awkwardly said, "Okay."
Upon hearing Wu Jingjingâs reply, Xiao Lang immediately laughed and bounced away with his toys.
Bai Yiran arranged for Wu Jingjing to be in the room next to Xiao Lang; being close made it easier to take care of her. After a few days of wandering, the child was indeed tired and fell asleep as soon as she touched the soft bed.
Bai Yiran looked at the sleeping Wu Jingjing and gently helped her fix her messy hair, covered her with the quilt, and quietly left the room.
Lines of tears fell from Wu Jingjingâs eyes buried in the pillow, wetting it.
In the evening, Leng Yichen returned, and Bai Yiran told him about Wu Jingjing.
"Bai Yiran! Didnât I tell you to stay away from the Wu family? You actually brought his daughter home? What were you thinking?"
In the bedroom, Leng Yichenâs face was dark, his deep eyes piercing through Bai Yiran.
Bai Yiran quickly put on a smile, "I was asked temporarily, and he just left the child like that. Could I ignore it? Besides, that child is truly pitiful, donât you think?"
"There are so many people he could have asked, why did he only entrust the child to you? Bai Yiran, who do you think you are?"
Originally, Wu Chengzu forcibly threw Wu Jingjing onto her, which already left Bai Yiran frustrated, and now with Leng Yichen misunderstanding her, Bai Yiran felt even more agitated.
"Leng Yichen! Youâre being unreasonable!" Bai Yiran didnât understand, it was just a child, why was Leng Yichen reacting so strongly!
"Are you guys fighting?" Wu Jingjing was already standing at the door, looking at Bai Yiran and Leng Yichen with a pale face.
