Chapter 365 - Untitled (1/2)

However, in front of so many people, she had to remain dignified. Arguing with a child wasn't something an adult would do, especially one of her status.

She stood up and squatted down in front of Rainy.

”Tell Granny, what's your name?” She tried her best to keep a gentle smile on her face and to make her voice more harmonious, but Rainy just stayed silent with wide eyes.

”Tell Granny your name, and I'll buy you some candy,” She started to cajole her. Children all loved sweets, right?

Rainy just stared at her. Her eyes revealed a fake smile while her face was expressionless.

”Oh, Mrs. Li. Her nickname is Rainy, and her surname is Gao. Her parents have yet to give her a name.” The teacher explained anxiously at the side, squinting profusely at her and whispering her name softly. Wasn't she usually obedient? Why wasn't she today?

Mrs. Li's face darkened. She had never met someone who was so disrespectful towards her, even though she was a child. She had to make her call her Granny.

”So you're Rainy? You're very cute. If you call me Granny, I'll buy you anything you want.” She had loads of money. Her son-in-law was a money-maker, and so his money was to show filial respect to her. She could have whatever she wanted.

”Dolls, candies, clothes, toys, whatever you want… as long as you call me Granny.” She rested her head on Rainy's shoulders and then squeezed forcefully.

Rainy did not make a sound. She bit her lip and looked at the huge claw on her shoulder. Her rosy face was unusually pale.

Pain was radiating from her shoulders. Mommy… Tears were welling up in her eyes, but she still refused to speak stubbornly. Mrs. Li's eyes became icier. She was such an unyielding child.

The teacher was anxious, looking at Rainy. ”Madam, Rainy is still young and insensible.” They already knew that this Mrs. Li had hurt the child. Her parents would ache for her if they found out.

”I'm not blaming her. I just like her and want her to call me granny.” Mrs. Li smiled, but her eyes were icy cold. She didn't believe that as an adult, she wouldn't be able to keep a mere girl in check. She wasn't trying to pick a fight with a kid, but she really hated her eyes. Hence, she wanted her to call her Granny. Otherwise, she wouldn't let the matter drop.

She let go of Rainy's shoulders at last and carried her up, but Rainy struggled in rejection.

”Child, say 'Granny'.” She pushed Rainy's face towards her forcefully. She must hear her call her Granny.

Rainy turned her face away again, her mouth shut tight. She refused to speak no matter how much this bad person hurt her. She hated her, for she remembered her face. She had slapped her mother before.

She bullied her mom, and so she didn't want to call her granny.

The undisguised hatred in the child's eyes made Mrs. Li, who was always looking down her nose on everyone, furious all of a sudden; and she let go abruptly.

There was a shout from the teachers and the other children.

The teacher hurriedly lifted Rainy, who had fallen on the ground, and checked the child carefully. ”Are you okay, Rainy? Tell me where it hurts.” Even though she merely fell from the distance of an adult's height, she was still just a small child.
