Volume 1 Chapter 6 Girls Love Dolls (2/2)
Han Changhong protested, ”How could you say that? I bought the doll especially for Luo'er!” He felt his chest swirl into bewilderment, startled by seeing how his wife and daughter treated little Luo like an outsider.
Irked by her husband's interruption, Du Liu retorted, ”Changhong, can you not butt in? It's already hard enough to raise my own children and now somebody else comes in and makes this job even harder! Look she's even made our own daughter upset.” Her merciless eyes glared at the helpless child, as she menacingly commanded, ”Han Luo, hurry up.”
Han Luo stepped closer and mumbled, ”Here, auntie” She tried to hand over the doll. Her face looked like she just lost something precious.
Du Liu ordered, ”Give it to your sister Luilui.”
Han Luo's pitiful eyes were glued onto the floor as she walked toward Han Luilui. She meekly offered the doll and muttered, ”Sister Luilui, you can play.”
Han Luilui had already stopped crying, yet her eyes were filled with a different emotion. Anger. She scowled at Han Luo repulsively and hurled the doll onto the ground. ”I don't want your used doll. How dare you!” The doll fell on the floor and had become fractured.
Little Luo was frightened by her cousin's action. When she had seen the broken doll, Han Luo hurriedly ran to it and picked it up. Her eyes were drowned in tears.
Han Sheng Ming was silently watching the dilemma from the start. However, when he saw Han Luo's tears, he couldn't hold back. He rushed forward and pushed his sister. ”Why did you do that to little Luo Luo? You should say if you didn't want it! Why did you have to break it?”
Han Luilui dropped to the floor and felt pain all over her tiny body. She screamed in fierce frustration. ”Brother Sheng, who is your sister? Me or her?”
Han Sheng Ming protectively hugged Han Luo while responding to his sister, ”She is much nicer and cuter than you could ever be!”
Han Luilui was always envious of Han Luo, who was a year younger than her. Han Luo was an adorable and obedient child. She was also a gifted quick learner. She was always laughing and always friendly. Everyone liked her. But Han Luilui could only feel a fit of dark jealousy for her cousin, and the insult from her brother made this jealousy darker. Han Luilui cried out loudly and called for her mother. ”Mommy!”
Du Liu was on the verge of losing all patience. To her, her son was a precious gem, and she could never scold him no matter what he did. Her only choice was to scold her headstrong daughter. ”Luilui!” Du Liu thought that her daughter was as intelligent as her, but today proved that this wasn't really the case.
Han Changhong's patience had already been lost. ”I saw enough. You disappointed me. And you too, Liu. How could you spoil your daughter like this?” He didn't forget to berate his wife.
Du Liu's countenance had blackened bitterly.
Han Changhong didn't wait for his wife's reaction. He swiftly picked up Han Luo and carried her in his arms. ”It's all right, Luo'er. I'll make you the biggest dollhouse with a hundred dolls.”
