Chapter 259: How Could They Still Think of Themselves as Jiang Yu’s Parents
After saying that, she scolded An Yimin, “And you, seriously, why are you making Yu Yu stand there? Hurry up and let her sit!”
An Yimin said, “Alright, alright, I know. I just haven’t said it yet. Do you think you’re the only one who dotes on Yu Yu?”
Xun Shaorong pretended to be displeased and glared at him. “You only know how to say nice things. Show me some action. Ai, I have no time to debate with you.”
She went back into the kitchen to get Jiang Yu some water.
Jiang Yu sat down on the sofa.
Soon, Xun Shaorong walked out and handed her a light blue ceramic cup. Jiang Yu thanked her and when she looked down into the cup, she was stunned.
There was a slice of lemon in the cup.
Xun Shaorong said thoughtfully, “Just how you like it, lemon in water. It’s fresh, I just bought it today. Also, I’m preparing some of your favorite dishes for lunch today. I bought them specifically for today. I bet it’s been a long time since you’ve had these dishes, right?”
After Xun Shaorong reported the list of dishes, she asked, “Is there anything else you want to eat? Just tell Mommy, I’ll get your daddy to go out and buy it now.”
An Yimin coughed twice.
“Ahem.”
Xun Shaorong glared at him. “What? Is your throat itchy? If it’s itchy, then take some medicine. Why do you get sick the moment Yu Yu gets here? Go away, don’t infect Yu Yu.”
An Yimin was anxious. Why didn’t she understand him?
What do you mean by “just tell Mommy”? What about “ask your daddy”? Yu Yu has already returned to the Jiang family. How could they still think of themselves as Jiang Yu’s parents?
Jiang Yu shook her head. “There’s no need. That’s plenty to eat.”
Xun Shaorong said habitually, “Alright then. Mommy will be in the kitchen.”
An Yimin added, “Yu Yu, you stay here for a bit. I’ll go into the kitchen to see if there’s anything I can help with.”
Jiang Yu nodded.
An Yimin followed Xun Shaorong into the kitchen. As soon as he closed the door, he immediately lowered his voice and scolded, “How could you forget to change your words again? I’ve already said it before. We’re no longer Yu Yu’s parents. If she calls us ‘mommy and daddy’, if word got out, it wouldn’t look very good.”
“You have to remember to change your words. Otherwise, if others find out, they’ll point their finger at Yu Yu. Don’t make things hard for Yu Yu.”
Xun Shaorong finally came to her senses. “Did I say something wrong again?”
“Yes!”
“Sigh, I can only blame myself. I was too excited to see Yu Yu. It’s just that, after saying it for so many years, it’s really hard to change…”
“Even if it’s hard to change, you have to change it!”
An Yimin’s tone became stern, “Besides, you also said that Yu Yu hasn’t eaten these dishes for a long time. Upon returning to the Jiang family, I’m sure she has eaten all kinds of good food. You really have to pay extra attention to your words.”
Xun Shaorong was startled and muttered, “I feel like Yu Yu just went on a long trip. It’s like she was sent to a boarding school, and then she’s finally home for the winter and summer holidays. Which mother doesn’t prepare good food and drinks for their child when they come home?”
“Yu Yu wasn’t sent to a boarding school though. She went back to where she belongs. If you don’t change your thinking, this won’t work out well.”
An Yimin patted her shoulder, “I understand how you feel but the last time we met, the older brothers of the Jiang family were all pretty good. They really care about Yu Yu. It’s a good thing that she went back to the Jiang family. She’s with a family who really cares about her, you don’t have to worry too much.”
Xun Shaorong lowered his eyes and sighed. “I understand.”
