This district where Bai Shanshan’s mother lived was filled with retirees from the factories.

It was because Bai Shanshan’s father had once been a worker in the factories before he passed away from cancer. Since they all lived in a staff unit, the surrounding neighbors were acquainted with each other.

At this moment, after Madam Yan made such a huge ruckus, the people in the surroundings immediately crowded over.

They had originally planned to protect Bai Shanshan’s family, but after hearing Madam Yan’s words, everyone started hesitating.

Madam Yan cried loudly at the entrance, “My son was so good to her. After she grew so fat during the marriage, my son didn’t divorce her. But now, she wants to divorce him so she can bring my granddaughter along and marry into a rich family. She simply has no conscience at all. She is an ingrate!”

Bai Shanshan and her mother stood outside the door.

Bai Shanshan looked at Madam Yan. “Mother-in-law, don’t say that. I’ve stated that I won’t marry Chu Cimo!”

“You won’t? He just publicly stated in the face of the Chu Family’s shareholders and reporters that he would pursue you forever until you agree. Now, you might say that you won’t, but what happens if you agree after the divorce? Who can we complain to? So, you have to return the child to us. Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi, where are you? Follow grandma home!”

Bai Shanshan started.

Chu Cimo actually said that he would continue pursuing her forever before the shareholders?

Why was he so silly?

Although Bai Shanshan knew nothing about company management, she also understood that if the leaders of a company were shaken by something, the share price of the company would definitely tank.

Hence, she bit her lips and her eyes gradually reddened.

Madam Yan continued scolding her. At this moment, Yan Zihao also rushed over and supported Madam Yan by holding her arm. He then looked at Bai Shanshan. “Shanshan, take it as I’m begging you. Let us not divorce, okay?”

The surrounding neighbors began pointing and whispering at Bai Shanshan.

“Yeah, the Yan Family has treated the daughter of the Bai Family pretty well. They would give Madam Bai $3,000 every month as living expenses!”

“The Bai Family’s daughter has not worked for so many years. The Bai Family could only survive due to the Yan Family helping them financially…”

“Just because she grew slimmer and became a little more pretty, she wanted to commit adultery?”

“No matter what, the child belongs to the Yan Family, but she wants to bring the child with her to marry a rich family? Isn’t this a little too immoral?”

“…”

The whispers and comments by their neighbors caused Bai Shanshan and Madam Bai to be at a loss of what to do.

Bai Shanshan waved her hands to explain. “Things are not like that, they…”

“Shanshan, I know I was wrong. As long as you come home with me, I can ignore the matter between you and Chu Cimo. After all, Xiaoqi has to have a father, right?”

Yan Zihao interrupted her and looked extremely sincere.

The neighbors also persuaded her.

“Daughter of the Bai Family, you better go home with your husband!”

“Why are you making trouble? Where can you find such a good husband?”

“For the sake of the child, you should really return…”

Yan Xiaoqi secretly peeped through the window. After hearing what the neighbors said, she suddenly sneaked out of her room.

If she wasn’t here, her mother wouldn’t have to feel so vexed.

When Yan Xiaoqi thought of this, she lowered her head and went down the stairs.

She followed the wall and just as she was preparing to leave, she heard a buzzing sound up ahead. Since she was scared, she shrank her body and hid in the corner. Only after Shen Ruojing’s motorbike zoomed past did she heave a sigh of relief and continue forward.

Her leg hadn’t healed yet, but she stood up straight and continued limping as she walked forward. Just when she reached the entrance, someone caught hold of her shirt and lifted her up.

Yan Xiaoqi started. After that, she saw a pair of phoenix eyes looking at her.

“Where are you planning on going?”

Chu Cimo stared at Yan Xiaoqi in contempt. At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief secretly. Luckily, he had a feeling that Madam Yan would make trouble here since she had done the same thing at his house. In that case, Bai Shanshan’s residence would surely be very noisy. Hence, he had directly rushed over. If it wasn’t for this, this little girl might have run off to god knows where!

If Yan Xiaoqi went missing, would Bai Shanshan, someone who loved her daughter so much, still be able to live?

When he thought of this, a hint of anger surged in Chu Cimo’s heart. “Why is a kid like you so insensible? If you ran off, what would your mother do?”

Yan Xiaoqi was originally scared and frightened. But now that she was being scolded by Chu Cimo, she felt even more aggrieved, hence, she started crying. “Boohoo…all of you are bad people…without me, you would be able to marry mommy, and my daddy wouldn’t make things difficult for mommy! Bad uncle, let go of me! I want to leave!”

Chu Cimo’s expression turned dark. “You want to leave? You are only five years old, where can you go? You will immediately be abducted the moment you leave home and will be sold to the mountains as feed for the wolves!”

This sentence frightened Yan Xiaoqi so much that she no longer dared to move. She then lowered her head and sobbed.

“What are you crying for? Why are you so annoying?” Chu Cimo placed her back on the ground and spoke with disdain, “Follow me back.”

“I’m not going back…Boohoohoo…daddy and grandma are right outside…boohoohoo…if I return now, they will bring me away…I don’t want to be separated from mommy…”

Yan Xiaoqi was crying so badly that snot came out of her nose.

Chu Cimo. “…so disgusting!”

He then took out a handkerchief and passed it to her with disdain. “Wipe it yourself.”

Yan Xiaoqi wiped her nose, but how could a five-year-old clean it thoroughly?

Hence, Chu Cimo decided to squat down and took out a tissue. “Why are you so stupid?”

After that, he feigned using a lot of force, but when the tissue came in contact with Yan Xiaoqi’s face, all the force immediately dissipated as he gently wiped her nose for her.

Yan Xiaoqi looked at Chu Cimo. Her father had never cared for her like this. Every time, her father would only verbally say that he loved her, but his gaze was filled with loathing.

However, although this bad uncle sounded very fierce and unwilling, he had carried her to the toilet previously and also wiped her nose for her today.

All of a sudden, Yan Xiaoqi innocently made a decision. “Uncle, I don’t want to be my daddy’s daughter. Can I be your daughter?”

“I don’t want an ugly and dirty daughter like you!” Chu Cimo’s lips twitched. “In the future, I’ll get your mommy to give birth to an adorable and tender little girl or little boy.”

Yan Xiaoqi lowered her head in disappointment. “I’m also very adorable.”

Actually, Yan Xiaoqi was truly very adorable.

Bai Shanshan and Chu Cimo were both good-looking individuals, so Yan Xiaoqi’s features were also very exquisite.

Chu Cimo glanced at her and coughed. “If you can guarantee that you will be so obedient in the future, I can force myself to agree to your request.”

Yan Xiaoqi grew proud. “Hmph, I should be the one disdaining you for not being mature. You don’t even have a job and your family has to support you!”

“What a brat, what do you know?!” Chu Cimo jumped up. “You are not adorable at all!”

Yan Xiaoqi felt even more hurt. “Fine, I’m not adorable. I don’t want to be your daughter even if you beg me now!”

Chu Cimo sneered. “Whoever wants you to be their daughter will be a dog!”

As he said this, he brought her to the Bai Family’s home entrance.

Just when he walked over, he saw Shen Ruojing already standing there. Shen Ruojing had a cold look on her face as she looked at Yan Zihao mockingly. “Who says that Yan Xiaoqi is your daughter?”
