"Mommy believes in you. Don't pay attention to that person just now; her mind isn't quite right, she has mental issues, and everything she says is wrong, understand?" Jiang Yan comforted her child.
"Yes, her mind is messed up. She should be locked up in a mental hospital, so you shouldn't believe her," Jin Lan also comforted Jian Yi.
Although Jian Yi was young, she was precocious and fully understood what her aunt had said. She said with some sadness, "Mommy, get up quickly and eat something. Daddy bought sour dried apricots. If you eat some, you won't feel like vomiting."
"Silly girl, it's seeing that person that makes Mommy want to vomit. Now that she's gone, Mommy doesn't want to vomit anymore." The reason Jiang Yan was vomiting so badly was because of that person, Jin Qing, and being pregnant, which made her unable to control it.
Jin Lan was also extremely remorseful. How could he have let his sister in, causing such chaos at home?
He helped the weak-kneed Jiang Yan up to sit on the sofa. Jian Yi had already brought her some sour dried apricots. Jiang Yan ate two and felt much better, leaning back with her eyes closed to rest.
After all the fuss, Jiang Yan managed to eat half a bowl of noodles without vomiting. She didn't have the energy to say more and went to sleep.
After Jiang Yan fell asleep, Jin Lan went to Jian Yi's room. As expected, the little one was hiding under the covers, crying secretly.
Upon hearing her father's voice, she quickly wiped away her tears.
Jin Lan pulled back her quilt and saw the little one's face streaked with tears as she desperately tried to wipe them away. He felt heartbroken. He pulled Jian Yi onto his lap and said, "Jian Yi, Daddy and Mommy both know you are a very kind and sensible good child. What that aunt said is completely wrong, so don't be sad, okay? You only need to care about the people you love. Don't bother with what those who hurt you say, because you know it's all wrong, and Mommy and Daddy know it's all wrong too."
"Daddy, I won't hurt Mommy, and I like my little brother too." Jian Yi started crying again. She was really scared that Daddy and Mommy would believe her aunt's words and not want her anymore.
"Daddy and Mommy believe in you absolutely. When the baby is born, you'll help us take care of him, won't you?" Jin Lan tried every means to comfort this child who already lacked security.
"I will!" Jian Yi nodded quickly.
"You'll definitely be the best older sister in the world, and you'll be able to take good care of your little brother or sister," Jin Lan said, stroking Jian Yi's head affectionately.
"I will, I definitely will." Jian Yi felt a little more settled after hearing her father say that.
"Then Daddy will read you a story, okay?" Jin Lan put the child on the bed and picked up a storybook to read her a bedtime story.
"Daddy, is Mommy asleep? Will she be uncomfortable tonight? You must watch her carefully," Jian Yi reminded him with concern.
Jin Lan was deeply moved. He was very sure that Jian Yi was an angel sent by heaven. This child was so kind and lovely that no one could help but like her.
"Don't worry, you go to sleep obediently. Leave taking care of Mommy to Daddy," Jin Lan reassured the child.
Only then did Jian Yi lie down obediently. Jin Lan began to read her a story. After one story, Jian Yi had fallen asleep.
This child was not only kind and lovely but also very easy to handle. She never caused trouble for him and Jiang Yan. In fact, she was still lacking security deep down.
