508 The Secret About the Past 126 (2/2)
”Hey, stand right there.”
”What do you want?”
”Could you bring me to find my Daddy?”
”Your Mommy was the one who raised you and your Daddy has only taken care of you for a few days. Why are you so attached to him?” Jin Yiheng questioned.
”That's none of your business.”
”Then don't ask me to bring you out. It's none of my business either,” Jin Yiheng sneered and left the dining table.
Jin Bao'er remained in her seat to finish her food, after which she stealthily went to the living room and dialed Shi Shaochuan's number, which she had already memorized.
The call was picked up in no time.
”Daddy, it's me.”
Surprised to hear that it was his daughter who called, Shi Shaochuan answered, ”Bao'er, have you had your meal?”
”Yes. Daddy, bring me away. Not only did Mommy scold me, she even hit me too. I want to be together with you.”
Shi Shaochuan hit the roof upon hearing her words. ”Your Mommy scolded and hit you?”
”Yes, she slapped my face several times.”
”Okay, Daddy will come now to bring you home. Wait for me.”
Jin Bao'er expressed assent and hung up the phone.
Jin Qingyue came out of her room to see that Jin Bao'er was sitting quietly on the couch. ”Have you eaten?” she asked.
Jin Bao'er nodded.
Noticing that she seemed to have snapped out of her tantrum, Jin Qingyue said softly, ”Bao'er, you're Mommy's little baby. I don't want to marry your Daddy again because we don't have feelings for each other anymore. There's no way we can go back to being husband and wife. But we're still your parents, and that's a fact that will never be changed. My love for you will never change either. Do you understand?”
Jin Bao'er nodded again.
Jin Qingyue lifted her up and placed her onto her lap. ”My Bao'er is five and a half years old now. You're almost too heavy for Mommy to carry.”
They then sat there quietly for a while. Moments later, Jin Qingyue's phone began to ring.
After taking a look at the caller display, she put her daughter down and went outside to answer the call.
”Hello.”
”Jin Qingyue, I'm right outside your gate. Bring Bao'er out.”
”Why should I do that?”
”Are you still fit to be a mother? Bao'er is still so young, yet you actually had the heart to hit and berate her. Are you even human?” Shi Shaochuan snapped in a tone of disdain.
”I didn't do that. Who did you hear it from? Shi Shaochuan, I've yet to question you. What are you teaching our daughter? Why did you tell her that she doesn't have to attend school as long as she's pretty? Are your brains fried?”
”Hah… who did I hear it from? I heard it straight from the horse's mouth when Bao'er called me just now. Cut the crap and bring her out. I'm right by the entrance,” Shi Shaochuan scorned.
”Keep waiting then.” Jin Qingyue hung up the phone and strode back inside quickly. She sat down beside the landline telephone in the living room and picked up the handset to see the previous dialed number, only to find that it indeed belonged to Shi Shaochuan.
At this very moment, she was utterly disappointed.
”You're only five years old, yet you already know how to lie and frame your mother! You actually told your Daddy that I hit and scolded you? Since when did I do that?” Jin Qingyue hollered, staring at the daughter she gave birth to and raised single-handedly, tears welling up in her eyes.
”Who told you to forbid me from looking for Daddy?”
”You…” Jin Qingyue did not know what else to say and thus stood up and returned inside the guest room without uttering another word.
Jin Bao'er followed suit.
She stood by the door and craned her neck through the crack to take a peek. Realizing that she had upset her mother by lying to her, Jin Bao'er called out softly, ”Mommy…”
