"Forget it, you're quite pitiful too."
Gu Qianying felt a pang of sympathy for Bai Li Su and didn't say anything more.
"Thank you for understanding me."
Bai Li Su looked at the woman before him and thanked her. He knew she wouldn't blame him anymore.
On the other side.
After Xiao Yi Hao ran out crying, he felt increasingly upset. He truly hadn't expected his mother to be so fierce this time.
He felt wronged because he believed he had done a good deed, and his mother shouldn't have scolded him.
"Hmph, really, so sad."
Xiao Yi Hao hid in a small cave within the rockery and cried.
He didn't know how to face his mother. He just didn't understand why his mother had suddenly become so stern.
From the time he could remember, his mother had never been harsh with him. Every day, she praised him as a good boy.
But today, he was scolded by his mother for the first time.
Bai Li Meng Ran was playing in the garden. As she played, she seemed to hear crying. Curious, she went to find the source of the sound.
After searching for a long time, she finally found it. Someone was crying inside the rockery.
Curiously, she walked in and saw a cute little boy, about her age. She quickly asked him what was wrong.
"Why are you crying here by yourself? Did something happen? Can you tell me if I can help you?"
Bai Li Meng Ran looked at the little boy with tear-streaked cheeks and said with some sympathy. She was kind-hearted and wanted to help him.
"My mother scolded me today. It's the first time my mother has scolded me, so I feel so sad. My mother might be really angry this time, and I don't know what to do. So I hid here to cry."
Xiao Yi Hao looked at the beautiful young lady before him and said with some grievance. He still didn't understand why his mother had reprimanded him.
"Perhaps it's because your mother thinks what you did was wrong, which is why she criticized you so harshly. But your mother definitely still loves you. My mother always says she loves all her babies."
Bai Li Meng Ran looked at the little boy before her and said earnestly. She hoped this little boy would stop crying.
"Bai Li Meng Ran, but you don't know, my mother has always loved me very much. But she was very angry today. Maybe my mother doesn't want me anymore. She hasn't come to find me until now."
Xiao Yi Hao thought that perhaps his mother truly didn't want him because he was disobedient.
Had he become an unwanted child? The more he thought about it, the sadder he became.
"Don't worry, your mother definitely loves you. Look, you're so big now, and you're still crying. Aren't you ashamed? Please don't cry anymore, okay?"
Bai Li Meng Ran earnestly comforted the young boy before her. She was also a cherished child, doted on by her mother.
"Alright, thank you for comforting me."
Xiao Yi Hao thought about it and realized that he was indeed grown up now and couldn't always be crying.
His mother didn't seem to like babies who cried all the time.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp..."
Xiao Yi Hao hadn't eaten since morning. He was a bit hungry, but he had no money on him. He didn't dare to go back now, as he didn't know if his mother was still angry.
"Are you hungry? Please wait for me for a moment. I'll go home and get you something delicious."
Bai Li Meng Ran heard Xiao Yi Hao's stomach rumble. She thought about how she had plenty of snacks at home and decided to bring some for him.
"Okay, thank you."
Xiao Yi Hao's face turned slightly red, feeling quite embarrassed, but he was really hungry.
"Mhm, you just wait here for me."
After Bai Li Meng Ran finished speaking, she quickly ran to the kitchen at home and got peanut crisps, pineapple crisps, and a big chicken leg. She thought these should be enough for him.
"Wow, there's even a big chicken leg."
Xiao Yi Hao looked at the big chicken leg in Bai Li Meng Ran's hand and couldn't help but swallow. It smelled so good.
He really wanted to eat it. He was so hungry. His stomach rumbled again.
"Yes, yes, here you go."
Bai Li Meng Ran handed the big chicken leg to Xiao Yi Hao and couldn't help but smile a little as she watched him devour it.
"I'm sorry, I'm just too hungry."
Xiao Yi Hao also noticed that Bai Li Meng Ran was watching him try to suppress her laughter. He knew his eating manners weren't good right now, but because he was so hungry, he couldn't afford to eat slowly.
"It's okay. I brought it because I like to eat. Eat slowly, no one will snatch it from you. It's all yours."
Bai Li Meng Ran, afraid Xiao Yi Hao would think she wanted to eat it, quickly explained.
"You're truly too kind, thank you so much."
Xiao Yi Hao ate more than half of the chicken leg before he could catch his breath.
"Seeing you eat so deliciously makes me want to eat too."
Bai Li Meng Ran said somewhat awkwardly, looking at Xiao Yi Hao. In fact, she had already eaten, but seeing how delicious the food looked in front of him, she felt a craving.
"I haven't touched this part yet, here you go."
Xiao Yi Hao, being sensible, offered half of the chicken leg to Bai Li Meng Ran. He was a good and sensible child. All these delicious foods were brought by Bai Li Meng Ran.
Therefore, it was only natural to give some to Bai Li Meng Ran. He was not a selfish person.
"If you give it to me, can you still eat enough?"
Bai Li Meng Ran hesitated, looking at the big chicken leg Xiao Yi Hao offered, and said with concern.
"I'm almost full."
Xiao Yi Hao said sensibly and then ate a piece of peanut crisp.
"Alright then."
Bai Li Meng Ran and Xiao Yi Hao happily ate some snacks in the rockery.
"If your mother is angry, you can ask your father to intercede for you. That way, your mother won't be angry with you out of respect for your father."
Bai Li Meng Ran thought about it. Her brother was like that. Whenever he angered their mother, he would bring their father to coax their mother together.
"But I don't think I have a father."
Xiao Yi Hao was stunned when he heard Bai Li Meng Ran mention his father. In his memory, he didn't seem to have ever seen his father.
"How is that possible? Everyone has a father. Think carefully, perhaps you've forgotten because you haven't seen your father in a long time."
Bai Li Meng Ran was also surprised when Xiao Yi Hao said he hadn't seen his father. She couldn't understand how someone wouldn't have seen their own father.
"Never mind, don't be sad. It's okay if you don't remember your father. We can find a new father for you. How about finding a father you like?"
Bai Li Meng Ran suddenly felt very clever. What was the big deal about not having a father? They could just find another one.
"I think what you're saying makes sense. Can you help me find a father? Because I've never seen a father before, and I don't know what a father should look like."
Xiao Yi Hao frowned and said with some difficulty.
