The old lady gazed at Xiaomei with an affectionate smile.

 “Hmph!” Xiaomei snorted loudly and threw Xiaojiao a scornful look. She haughtily raised her chin and quipped, “I don’t want to play with her.”

Wang Yuexiang studied her expression, but her benign smile didn’t falter. “Why not?”

 Xiaomei replied, “Grandmother won’t love me anymore now that she is here. You will give everything to her.”

 The gleam in Wang Yuexiang’s eyes flickered for a moment but she continued to smile at Xiaomei. She gently said, “I won’t. Grandmother will love you and your sister.”

Xiaomei refused to believe her and she raised her voice. “You’re lying. I don’t want her to stay in our house!”

 Su Yue was afraid that Xiaojiao might get affected, so she darted forward. But Ming Ansheng stopped her.

 She looked at Ming Ansheng with a puzzled look. Ming Ansheng smiled and consoled her, “It’s fine.”

 Su Yue pressed her lips tightly and hung her head.

 Xiaomei was so young, and certainly she wouldn’t bear a grudge against her. But obviously, someone had taught her to say that.

 “Xiaomei, what are you doing?” Ming Anyu took a step forward as he stared at his daughter.

 He chided her softly.

 Xiaomei pursed her lips and her eyes glistened. “Daddy, I don’t want a sister. This is our house and I don’t want her here.”

 Ming Anyu sternly lectured her, “You are her older sister and we are a family. You have to take care of your younger sister.”

 She felt aggrieved. And it seemed as though her father didn’t take her side. She rubbed her eyes and wailed loudly.

 She ran towards the stairs and shouted, “All of you like her! No one likes me anymore!”

 Ming Ansheng tried to grab her, but he wasn’t fast enough.

After Xiaomei stormed up the stairs, Wang Yuexiang’s face hardened. She glanced at Ming Anyu and spoke sternly, “I don’t want to reprimand you, but your wife is getting out of hand.”

“Mother, this matter…”

 Ming Anyu wanted to explain, but Wang Yuexiang cut across. “Enough. We are not dumb. Tell her that our family is very simple. To me, three grandchildren aren’t enough, but that doesn’t mean that I am biased towards anyone. Tell her to stop creating trouble. If she continues, then both of you shouldn’t come back that often. Leave Xiaomei with me.”

 Ming Anyu stepped forward with a smile and clung to Wang Yuexiang’s arm. He mumbled, “Mother, don’t be angry. I will tell her.”

 “Alright, go and rest.” Wang Yuexiang threw Ming Anyu a disapproving look and nudged him.

 Su Yue studied Wang Yuexiang quietly and she was rather surprised. She was known to be gentle and refined and she was soft-spoken too. She didn’t really raise her voice even when she was angry.

 Although she didn’t exactly raise her voice earlier on, she sounded so stern and imposing.

She was far more authoritative than what she had expected.

She inched nearer to Ming Ansheng and whispered, “Your mother is shrewd.”

 Ming Ansheng grinned. “Even you could tell, how could she possibly not?”

 Was he implying that she was dumb? Su Yue glared at Ming Ansheng. “What do you mean?”

 Ming Ansheng shook his head and chuckled. “Nothing. It means we should go up and rest soon.”

 He wound his arm around Su Yue’s waist and led her upstairs.

 …

 After a shower, Ming Ansheng came out of the bathroom, with only a towel wrapped around his waist.
