Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

“I think it’s quite nice.”

“Repeat that again!” Lin Xiaojuan narrowed her eyes and asked dangerously.

​ 

Shen Qianshu said, “Hahaha, calm down, calm down. Little sixth sister-in-law, why are you so serious? Tong Hua was just playing around. Just let them criticize him. It’s not as if we haven’t been criticized by antis before. Just let them do whatever they want. Tong Hua’s pretty happy. Anyway, he’s not addicted to gambling. You should be able to settle these public relations matters easily.”

The term “little sixth sister-in-law” immediately caused Lin Xiaojuan to suppress her temper. She suddenly became embarrassed. It was surprising that her relationship with her best friend would take such an unexpected turn.

The sixth sister-in-law Lin Xiaojuan prohibited Shen Qianshu from bringing Tong Hua to places he was not supposed to go anymore so that he would not be caught playing in the casino. People had a natural inclination towards seeking excitement. If Tong Hua was caught again, there would be news saying that the nation’s son was addicted to gambling.

“Fine, fine, fine. Don’t worry. I will definitely not let him go anymore.”

Lin Xiaojuan thought that indeed, she was uneasy letting Shen Qianshu take care of the child alone. She even had to carry along a huge baby like Ye Ling. Naturally, she would not have the mental capacity to manage Tong Hua. Her poor Tong Hua was even caught playing at the slot machine alone. That girl did not even accompany him.

What a pitiful boy!

“Are you giving too much attention to your husband? You should at least accompany your child more. My married friends all threw their husbands aside and devoted all their efforts to their children. If you give your husband too much attention, won’t he not cherish you anymore?”

“What logic is this?”

“Your entire heart is on him. Everything rotated around him. He has a huge sense of security, so naturally, he wouldn’t feel threatened. He is certain that you will treat him as the core of your life. You be the judge. Will he still cherish you?” Lin Xiaojuan educated her. “The best relationship between men and women has a mysterious feel to it. Do you understand? If you distance from him sometimes, he would care about you even more.”

A mysterious feel?

Shen Qianshu secretly thought that when she went to the bathroom, she could leave the door open in front of him. There was not an inch of her body that was not seen by Ye Ling. He had seen all her pathetic states. Wasn’t it too late to talk about maintaining a mysterious feel now?

“I understand, I understand.” Shen Qianshu thought secretly, I can’t mess around with her. I should just apologize.

Lin Xiaojuan thought that for someone like her, who had an indifferent attitude, scolding her was like punching a pillow. Hence, she could only hang up. Shen Qianshu did not know to laugh or to cry and went online to look at Tong Hua’s news.

The criticisms were very bad.

Of course, most of them criticized Tong Hua’s guardian, though some also reprimanded Tong Hua for being deviant at such a young age. They said that he would become a rich second-generation who would spend his life playing around, eventually becoming a useless person. He might even get addicted to gambling.

There were many who insulted Tong Hua and looked down on him. The insults criticized her for being irresponsible and not deserving to be a parent. Shen Qianshu thought that the netizens were too violent.

Some of them even said that Tong Hua would become like Ye Yifan in the future—an untalented rich kid.

Shen Qianshu thought, Why is it bad to be like Ye Yifan?

When she married, she wanted to marry a capable man. However, for her son, she just wanted him to be peaceful and happy for his entire life. What was so bad about being like Ye Yifan?

He was wealthy, worry-free, and prosperous—what a great life! From his birth, he had already reached the destination of one’s life.

Ye Ling also saw the news about Tong Hua. He did not feel anything special. He had never considered this to be a big issue. Adults only played a guiding role in determining what kind of person the child would grow up to be.
