Mianmian's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this. "No, Mom is a responsible good mother! She's a good mother! You're saying bad things about my mother, I don't like you anymore, I want to find my mother!"
As Mianmian spoke, tears began to fall again, and she cried even harder. She hated people who spoke ill of her mother.
Moreover, she didn't want to be without her mother; she wanted to be with her mother forever.
While speaking, Mianmian pushed Jiang Jingxiu away, jumped off the bed, and ran out of the hospital room. The room was large and beautiful, far better than the rooms she had stayed in before, but she didn't like it at all. She suddenly missed the times when she lived with many people.
This was the first time Jiang Jingxiu had seen his daughter's mood change so drastically. Mianmian had been so soft and well-behaved before, never causing trouble. He thought that was just how she was; he never expected Mianmian to have tantrums.
Jiang Jingxiu immediately got out of bed and carried his daughter back, coaxing her, "Don't cry, I misspoke. Don't be angry."
But Mianmian kept crying, incessantly demanding her mother. Jiang Jingxiu, after trying to soothe her for a while, was at his wit's end. Annoyed, he put Mianmian back on the bed. "Stop crying, I won't let you see your mother again! Just give up on that idea!"
This was also the first time Mianmian had seen her father get angry. Although he wasn't very fierce, his serious expression was enough to make her unhappy. Her tears fell even harder. "I don't want Daddy anymore, I want Mommy! I don't want Daddy anymore, I never want Daddy again."
Jiang Jingxiu was speechless.
Mianmian continued to cry, her tears falling as if they were free, as if she intended to cry them all out.
Jiang Jingxiu sat by her side, watching her cry. He wanted to see how long she could cry. Half an hour later, Jiang Jingxiu surrendered. His heart ached so much it felt twisted. He couldn't stand it anymore. "Alright, alright, I'll let your mother come see you. Stop crying, my precious ancestor!"
"I want Mommy to stay with me! Wuwuwu!" Mianmian continued to cry.
"Okay, okay, you can stay with her as long as you want, as long as you stop crying. I'll agree to whatever you want!" Jiang Jingxiu thought, what else could he do? He had to give in to whatever the child said.
"Wuwuwu, so Daddy is a big bad guy! Wuwuwu, now I know Mommy was right." Mianmian cried, turned over, and lay down. She fell asleep not long after.
She was too tired from her tantrum, and crying had taken a toll on her body. Now, only sleep could help her recover.
Jiang Jingxiu, his head throbbing, had no choice but to call Jiang Mi and ask her to come see their daughter.
Upon receiving the call, Jiang Mi immediately grabbed her bag and rushed out. Although she knew Jiang Jingxiu would take good care of their daughter, she was still worried. She hadn't seen her daughter for two days and was close to a breakdown.
Yang Qian felt the same.
Mother and daughter got up and went out. The bodyguards watching them also received the news and escorted them downstairs to the hospital.
By the time they arrived at the hospital, Mianmian had woken up and was still bothering Jiang Jingxiu. No matter how he tried to coax her to eat, she refused, sitting on the bed with her arms crossed, sulking. Her eyes were red like a rabbit's from crying so much.
When Jiang Mi and Yang Qian walked into the room, Mianmian's eyes immediately lit up. She opened her arms towards them and said, "Mommy, Grandma, Mianmian missed you so much. Where have you been these past few days? Did you abandon Mianmian?"
Jiang Mi rushed over and hugged her daughter tightly, tears of heartache falling. "How could that be? Mommy... Mommy was looking for a house, and I've been a bit busy with my part-time job, so I couldn't come see you sooner. I'm sorry, don't be angry with Mommy."
