Chapter 37 Being a Good Wife and Mother
Auntie Wu bent down and retracted her hand that was about to carry her things. She walked towards the washroom.
Chi Yaoxi stared at Wu Shu, this woman who bared her fangs and brandished her claws, commanding blindly, and couldn’t help but frown. Is she crazy?! She must be crazy?! Why is she shouting at a hardworking auntie? Isn’t she looking for trouble?
Although she was his wife in name, when she saw Wu Shu behaving atrociously here, Chi Yaoxi felt that she should step out and intervene.
Chi Yaoxi was just about to take a few steps forward and reason with Wu Shu when the little guy woke up. He tugged on the corner of Chi Yaoxi’s shirt and whispered for his mommy to ignore that bad woman.
Chi Yaoxi suppressed the anger in her heart and followed the little fellow upstairs.
“Chenchen, let’s go to the study room to read. It’s quiet there.”
The two of them sat in front of the desk. The little guy was flipping through a book called “Foreign Famous Stories”. At such a young age, he was smart enough to recognize man words and could basically read by himself.
Chi Yaoxi also picked up a fashion magazine and flipped through a few pages randomly. She did not read anything. Thinking that the woman was still downstairs, Chi Yaoxi was a little worried.
Earlier on, the little fellow did not allow her to interfere. Chi Yaoxi could not help but ask softly, “Chenchen, you saw that auntie scolding people. She did something wrong. Why didn’t you let Mommy reason with her?”
The little fellow put the book away and approached Chi Yaoxi. He hugged her arm and pouted. He said in all seriousness, “I’m doing this to protect Mommy. That bad auntie is very cunning. If Mommy goes to talk about her, she will target Mommy. Daddy is not at home, so he can’t protect us immediately. This trick is called ‘using stillness to counter motion, using unchanging to deal with all changes’.”
When Chi Yaoxi heard the little guy’s argument, she smiled and pinched his little nose. She said happily, “Little baby, you’re so smart. Who did you learn it from? You’re so
good at it.”
Upon hearing his mother’s praise, the little fella’s big watery eyes rolled around as he said happily, “I’ve read the ‘Art of War’ before. Daddy bought that book for me.”
“That’s great! Mommy will reward you by making your favorite snack this afternoon, okay?”
The little fella pulled his mommy’s hand and jumped up happily. He felt that it was such a blissful weekend with his mommy by his side.
Wu Shu did not enjoy her lunch even though it was scrumptious.
When she first arrived in the morning, she was arrogant and domineering. When she saw that Li Qianming was not at home, she wanted to show her imposing aura and let the servants in the villa, especially Chi Yaoxi, know that she, Wu Shu, was not so easy to bully.

However, she later realized that things did not develop as she had expected. Throughout the morning, she had been giving instructions to the servants downstairs, but Chi Yaoxi had stayed upstairs and did not come down. She had ignored her strong attitude.
Wu Shu’s original plan was to strike out with heavy punches, but she didn’t expect that her punches would be like hitting cotton, completely useless. It was really boring.
After lunch, the little guy went upstairs for lunch. Wu Shu saw Chi Yaoxi busy in the kitchen and followed her. “Why? Does Missy still want to do it herself? I can help.”
