CHAPTER 262: CHAPTER 262: THE UNRULY FAMILY OF THREE

Looking over, I saw the little boy from earlier sticking out his tongue and making faces while running around.

He bumped into quite a few people in the process, causing them to frown.

"Whose kid is this? Why isn’t anyone watching him?"

"Exactly, it’s so dangerous!"

...

"Baby, come back! Mommy’s got the meat grilled for you, come eat..." A woman, upon hearing people talking about her child, stood up and called out unhappily to her son.

The boy paid no attention to his mother.

"What are you doing? Why are you taking my things?"

A man’s voice rang out, "Whose kid is this? Is no one watching him!

Letting him run around is one thing, but taking other people’s things, what kind of parenting is this?!"

People in the shop looked over and saw a man angry, pointing at the boy who was making faces at him.

The boy’s parents finally stopped wolfing down their food, rushed over, and pulled their child back.

Didn’t even say "Sorry."

"What a joke! Not keeping an eye on your own kid, don’t you know where this place is?

There are boiling hot pots everywhere, isn’t that dangerous?!"

The man’s voice continued to ring out.

The other people in the shop nodded in agreement; indeed, such a place was dangerous for children.

What if he got hurt by accident?

However, the parents didn’t care and even loudly retorted, "It’s not your kid, why are you so loud?

My kid’s very well-behaved!"

Everyone: ...speechless!

"Fenfen, what are you looking at?"

"What... nothing... nothing at all... hmm!"

Lin Xiaoyan overheard the voices next door, sneaked a glance, and happened to see the romantic scene of that young couple.

The young guy was giving his girlfriend a surprise.

"Wow! This is so beautiful~" The girl exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the bouquet in front of her, eyes gleaming at her boyfriend.

"Where did you hide it? How come I didn’t see it earlier?"

The guy: "I had the waiter put it away beforehand, and they just brought it over."

"It’s so beautiful, thank you, darling~ mwah!"

Lin Xiaoyan quickly turned her head, a smile unknowingly spreading across her face.

She looked up at Nan Xi, who also had a smile on her face.

They continued eating while eavesdropping on the sweet conversations of the couple next door.

Girl: "Why are you giving me flowers?"

Boy: "Because today is our 500th day anniversary!"

Girl: "You actually remembered, I totally forgot~"

Boy: "It’s enough that I remember, look what’s inside the flowers!"

Girl: "Inside the flowers? Ah! Lipstick! How did you know I wanted this shade?"

Boy: "Because I secretly looked at your shopping cart..."

...

Listening to their conversation, Lin Xiaoyan felt immensely envious.

However, thinking that she also had an amazing boyfriend, she stopped being envious.

She lowered her head, sending the conversation of the couple next door to He Qi’an.

He Qi’an was enduring his grandfather’s disdain, but seeing the message from his girlfriend, a smile crossed his eyes.

"What lipstick shade do you want? I’ll buy it for you too."

Seeing He Qi’an’s reply, Lin Xiaoyan replied with a smile, "I don’t need it, I was just sighing over how sweet the young couple is, it’s quite romantic."

Romantic?

He Qi’an opened the search engine, looking up ways to create romance for his girlfriend...

"Sigh, thinking about going to He Qi’an’s home tomorrow makes me nervous."

Putting down her phone, Lin Xiaoyan said to Nan Xi with a worried expression.

Nan Xi didn’t know how to respond; she’d never experienced something like this.

"Just... just relax, don’t be nervous. Minister He already met you.

The fact that Minister He mentioned having you over means he has a good impression of you.

As for the others..."

Lin Xiaoyan: "As for the others, it doesn’t matter.

If they really don’t like me, no matter how well I perform, nothing will change.

We’ll see how he reacts then.

If it really doesn’t work out, then we’ll break up. Anyway, we’re still..."

"Ah! My flowers! My lipstick!!!"

Suddenly, a shrill scream interrupted Lin Xiaoyan’s words.

Everyone looked over to see the girl from next door in distress, staring at the ruined bouquet reduced to a mess of broken petals, and the lipstick... broken!

"Who did this!"

The girl’s boyfriend came over, seeing the scene, his face flushed with anger, he coldly scanned the surroundings.

"Blah blah blah..."

The little boy from earlier was sticking out his tongue and laughing at the couple.

"It was you!" The couple said in unison.

The guy grabbed the little boy trying to escape, sternly asking, "Was it you who did it!"

"Mommy... Mommy... save me! There’s a bad guy!" The little boy struggled and shouted.

The boy’s mother immediately ran over at the sound, seeing her precious son being grabbed, she rushed over.

"Let go of my son!"

"What are you doing? Why are you grabbing my son!" The woman pushed the man away, rescuing her son into her embrace.

"Son, are you okay? Not hurt, right?"

The little boy howled towards the sky, "Hurt! Hurt! He just hit me!"

Lin Xiaoyan frowned deeply at what the boy said.

"Little boy, lying is wrong, that brother just grabbed your clothes, he didn’t hit you!

We all saw it!"

People around had already had enough of this mother-son pair, many testifying that the man didn’t hit the child.

"My son said he was hit, then he was definitely hit! My son doesn’t lie!" the child’s mother said unreasonably.

The man’s girlfriend angrily stepped forward, "Your son ruined my flowers and lipstick like this, we were about to look into it, and you dare to turn things around!

Like father, like son!"

"What did you say! Who are you calling a brat! Who’s the bad parent!" the woman angrily rushed toward the girl, raising her hand to hit her.

The man immediately stepped forward to protect his girlfriend, pulling her behind him.

"You dare make a move! If you do, I’ll call the police!

I’m a lawyer, think twice before you act!"

The man sternly looked at the woman.

Upon hearing he was a lawyer, the woman regained some sense, withdrew her hand.

However, she still didn’t relent.

"So what if you’re a lawyer? Does that give you the right to bully people! How pathetic to bully a child!"

"Ma’am, it was your son who ruined their stuff, wasn’t it? Now you’re just being unreasonable!" a man walked over, chuckling at the child’s mother.

"You saw it? You saw my son ruin the stuff?!

If you don’t have evidence, I’m going to sue you for slander!"

The man raised his phone, clearly showing the video of the boy sneaking over and destroying the couple’s flowers and lipstick.
