Chapter 300: She’s not Better Looking than me
Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars
As Xie Yunjin pondered, Zhao Yuluo heard what Lu Jiao had said and started to cry.
She was truly sad this time as she cried, “I have a mother! I have a mother!” Lu Jiao thought she appeared pitiful and allowed her nanny to comfort her.
Before the nanny could do anything, Zhao Yuluo ran back and raised her head at Lu Jiao, “Aunty, can you be my mother?”
Hmmph! That bad guy hit her so she will steal his mother.
Lu Jiao was stunned. What was this girl thinking? She was so sad one second then the next, she was asking a stranger to be her mother. What was going on?
Lu Jiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
The four little ones, however, were furious. They jumped out and pushed Zhao
Yuluo out.
The four little ones guarded Lu Jiao and warned Zhao Yuluo, “She’s our mother, not yours.”
It wasn’t just the four little ones who were overthinking, even Xie Yunjin was wondering if Zhao Yuluo was acting this way on Zhao Lingfeng’s orders.
Lu Jiao was speechless towards the whole situation.
Zhao Yuluo had stopped crying and now tearfully stared at Lu Jiao, “Aunty, how about you be my mother? We have a giant house and lots of expensive treasures. I can give you everything. How about you be my mother? Aunty, lots of people want to be my mother but I don’t want them. I want you.”
The four little ones gritted their teeth, “She’s our mother! You can’t take her!”
Lu Jiao wanted to prevent another fight and offered, “Yuluo, I’m your dad’s friend. You can call me aunt Lu but nothing more.”
Zhao Yuluo wanted to say more when Lu Gui came in, “Brother-in-law, sister, master Hu and Lady Li came to visit with their two children.”
Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao knew that Hu Shan and Li Yuyao were here.
Now that Xie Yunjin was ready to accept magistrate Hu’s job offer, he didn’t react as impatiently as he would’ve before. He said to Lu Jiao, “Let’s welcome them together.”
“Okay.”
Lu Jiao liked Li Yuyao so she stood up and got ready to go.
The four little ones realized who the visitors were as well. One of the children they brought must be sister Xiaoxiao.
The four little ones thought of Hu Lingxue and then looked at Zhao Yuluo. They taunted in disdain, “Do you know sister Xiaoxiao? She’s prettier than you and she’s a nice person.”
The four little ones then grabbed their parents’ hands to go with them.
Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin let them be.
However, they couldn’t just leave Zhao Yuluo alone. Therefore, Lu Jiao asked
Zhao Yuluo, “Do you want to come with us?”
Zhao Yuluo heard the four little ones’ comments and did not think that the so-called prettier and nicer Xiaoxiao really was all that. She raised her head and chest like a peacock and walked to the front of the group.
Xie Yunjin frowned at her.
Lu Jiao pulled on his sleeve, “Stop getting so angry. She’s just a kid.”
Xie Yunjin looked toward Lu Jiao.
He knew Lu Jiao and she wasn’t exactly patient. Right now, she seems to have a bigger heart toward this Zhao Yuluo than she normally would. Did she like that child? If that was the case, would she catch feelings for Zhao Lingfeng because of Zhao Yuluo?
Xie Yunjin denied that thought as another thought arose in him. If Lu Jiao liked baby girls, they could have one in the future.
Xie Yunjin’s expression was turning unnatural. He quickly looked away and whispered, “oh well, I’m an adult and I shouldn’t get so offended by her behavior.”
Lu Jiao felt like he was acting strange but didn’t think too much about it. The group went to greet Hu Shan’s family.
Honestly, Hu Shan didn’t want to come today. Xie Yunjin and him repelled each other and fought every time they met. So what was the point of coming here? His dad, however, ordered him to come to get Xie Yunjin to be his assistant. Therefore, Hu Shan had no choice but to come.
Li Yuyao also wanted to take this chance to visit to get familiar with the route and visit more frequently in the future. In the end, the family decided to come together.
In the front courtyard, Hu Shan totally expected Xie Yunjin to treat him with disdain and mockery. Today, however, Xie Yunjin was very friendly.
Hu Shan was shocked by Xie Yunjin’s good attitude. But concluded in the end that he was nice due to their wives’ sworn sisterhood. In some ways, they were now a family and had to treat each other with friendliness.
Hu Shan smiled more today and was better at choosing his words, “Brother Xie, sorry for visiting today unannounced.”
Xie Yunjin responded just as kindly, “You’re being so polite. We are a family now and there’s no need for all this etiquette.”
Hu Shan laughed, “That is true.”
Li Yuyao stopped worrying given the nice exchange.
Hu Shan had never liked Xie Yunjin. He’s always complained about how fake and cold he was. She was really scared that he was going to fight Xie Yunjin again today.
After all, the magistrate sent Hu Shan here with a mission today.
Now that it was clear there was no conflict, Li Yuyao finally greeted Lu Jiao, “Jiaojiao, look at me, visiting so randomly. Do you blame me?”
Lu Jiao reached out to Li Yuyao, “What are you talking about? Sister? I can’t even express how much I welcome you. Come and sit.”
The two families sat down.
Inside the living room, Zhao Yuluo continued to stare at Hu Lingxue. No matter how much she stared, she didn’t think Hu Lingxue was prettier than she was. The four bad boys must be blind.
Zhao Yuluo concluded arrogantly, “She’s not as good-looking as I am.” Her words garnered everyone’s attention and they all stared at her.
Hu Shan heard this little girl insult his daughter and was furious instantly. He angrily said to Zhao Yuluo, “Who are you? Where are your eyes? My daughter’s so much prettier than you.”
His daughter was a great kid, who always smiled kindly and was obedient. Hu Shan loved his daughter.
Therefore, his fury ignited when he heard Zhao Yuluo’s words.
The four little ones supported that statement, “That’s right! Sister Xiaoxiao is better looking and she’s kind.”
Hu Lingxue wasn’t upset because of what Zhao Yuluo said. She was more shocked by what the four little ones had just said.
“You called me ‘sister’.”
At her house last time, they weren’t willing to call her that. Even when she tried to bribe them with toys, they refused..
