Chapter 926 - Accident (2/2)
This child had been weak and sickly since he was small and she thought he would be well-behaved and sensible when he grew up, but in fact, he was very playful.
“Call me mom, don’t call me Wanwan anymore.”
Little Xingxing stuck out his tongue, straightened his body and saluted to Shangguan Wan. “Yes, Mom Wanwan.”
The new recruits were all amused by the little fellow.
Shangguan Wan held her forehead. She instructed for Instructor Wu to train the new recruits well and left, pinching the naughty boy’s ear.
Although she was pinching him, Shangguan Wan did not exert any strength.
“Madam Shangguan, be gentle. Our family does not advocate violence!”
Shangguan Wan stuffed the naughty little thing into the car.
The chauffeur covered his mouth and laughed when he saw the scene behind. The past few months, Young Miss did not talk or smile much and seldom relaxed the frown on her face.
If it was not for Little Young Master’s liveliness at home, he did not know how solemn it would be.
On the way back, Shangguan Wan was angry with the little fellow again. The teacher had sent a message to her, saying that the little fellow declared in front of the teacher that studying was useless, holding guns and leading an army was where the real talent lay.
After reading the message, Little Xingxing ignored Shangguan Wan and his handsome and exquisite face approached her. “Wanwan, don’t be angry. If you’re angry the wrinkles at the corners of your eyes will come out.”
Almost instinctively, Shangguan Wan immediately raised her hand to touch her face.
“Hahaha, I’m kidding. Our Wanwan is a natural beauty, you’re beautiful even when you’re angry.”
Shangguan Wan glared at the naughty boy, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She raised her index finger and poked his forehead. “You must behave yourself in school in the future.”
“It’s not that I’m not well-behaved, but the things we’re learning are too easy. It’s an insult to my intelligence!”
Shangguan Wan was speechless.
The chauffeur and maid were laughing at the conversation between mother and son.
By now, the car had arrived at the city. They pa.s.sed an intersection and after waiting for the traffic lights, a hurrying figure suddenly burst out from the road just as the car was about to move.
The chauffeur slammed on the brakes.
But he was a step late and the woman who had run out fell to the ground.
The chauffeur let Shangguan Wan know before he hurried down the car.
Fortunately, the woman who was knocked down was not seriously injured, only her knees were sc.r.a.ped. The woman knew that she was knocked down because she dashed out and she did not blame the chauffeur. “I was in a hurry to catch the bus across the street.”
Shangguan Wan also got out of the car and looked at the woman who was in a hurry. She frowned and said, “Auntie, it’s dangerous for you to do that. Your knees are injured, we’ll take you to the hospital first!”
The woman waved her hand hurriedly. “No, no. I still have to go back to cook dinner for my employer. To tell you the truth, my employer is a strange-tempered person and doesn’t like people being late. If I don’t arrive on time, he will fire me! The pay is good, so I don’t want to lose this job. I’m really okay, thank you all!”
Looking at the frightened woman departing, the chauffeur could not help muttering, “What employer would be so unreasonable?”
Not wanting to gossip about people, Shangguan Wan said, “Let’s go back,” before getting back into the car. But in her heart, she did not have a good impression of the employer mentioned by the woman.
Shangguan Wan had finally decided to settle down in Yukou Border and she built a three-storey house here.
The courtyard was full of flowers and plants and the servant had grown vegetables in the backyard.
Little Xingxing went next door to play with his friends, and the maid was cooking while Shangguan Wan sat on the swing of the yard, answering her phone.
