Chapter 1490: Chapter 1255:
"Kids these days are clever as foxes. Even at four or five years old, they’re full of cunning."
This remark from Jiang Hongfa was undoubtedly referring to Gao Xinyue.
"It’s not that the kids are inherently cunning, but their growing environment influences them. To put it plainly, they’ve been affected by those around them."
Jiang Boya said this, thinking of Wang Xiaohui’s demeanor. At the same time, he recalled Old Lady Gao’s insincere smile and snorted, saying, "The two men seem alright, but as for that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair, you must have noticed they’re not decent people. It’s difficult for a young girl surrounded by such a grandmother and mother to develop proper values."
"Hmm."
Jiang Hongfa expressed agreement.
...
On the way back to the courtyard in the car, neither Old Master Gao, Old Lady Gao, Gao Qiming and his wife, nor Gao Xinyue spoke a word.
Once inside the living room, Old Lady Gao could no longer hold back. She immediately expressed dissatisfaction with Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya’s attitude, saying with a sullen face:
"What kind of attitude was that? You went personally to apologize, but the old one barely acknowledged it. The son showed little respect in his words. And the young one, sharp-tongued, even started discussing principles with Qiming’s wife. What could a child possibly understand?!"
"What do you mean by barely acknowledging?" Old Master Gao glared. "Regarding the incident at the kindergarten last Saturday, Old Master Jiang wasn’t even there. Even if Mr. Jiang Boya mentioned it later, he wasn’t involved, so what do you expect him to say?
Besides, Mr. Jiang Boya’s attitude—I didn’t see any issue."
The fact that he used a respectful form of address indicates that he is well-mannered and understands etiquette. I really don’t understand why the old lady keeps nagging as soon as she enters.
Suppressing his impatience, Old Master Gao sat on the sofa: "As for the young girl you mentioned, I felt she was quite polite and knowledgeable, not to mention, did the child say anything wrong?"
Old Lady Gao didn’t know how to respond.
"Since the child was right and meant well, why do you see it as wrong?" He shifted his gaze to Wang Xiaohui: "What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaohui was momentarily stunned, then quickly responded: "I was wrong. I shouldn’t have gotten angry with the child, nor should I have laid hands on her. The child didn’t say anything wrong."
"Did you hear that?"
Old Master Gao’s gaze returned to Old Lady Gao: "One must be reasonable and understand the depths, yet I don’t see this from you mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couple. You could even say you don’t compare to a child who is not even four years old. If I were you two, I’d be ashamed after hearing what the child said."
"Old man, you..."
Old Lady Gao’s chest felt tight, neither up nor down, causing great discomfort.
"Little Moonlight and Little Yu are similar in age, slightly older than the young girl, but you should think carefully; doesn’t the young girl’s speech make sense,
Also, when I first saw the young girl, I noticed her intelligence, which was confirmed. Who wouldn’t like such a child? It’s evidently reasonable that Little Yu enjoys playing with her."
With delicate features, rosy-cheeked like a New Year painting child, such a child is genuinely charming. He could tell the child’s character is good, but why can’t Little Moonlight play with her?
Not only can they not play together, but because Little Yu caused the young girl trouble, making him truly puzzled.
"Don’t praise other people’s children like that."
Old Lady Gao snorted coldly.
"Mom! Dad is right; don’t stir up trouble and ruin his mood." Gao Qiming spoke up, looking at Old Lady Gao with some helplessness, saying: "Wrong is wrong, right is right. That child’s goodness is obvious and undeniable. Trying to deny it only shows you’ve lost your senses."
"I’m your mother, how can you talk to me like this?"
Old Lady Gao, furious, rebuked Gao Qiming: "Little Moonlight is our family’s treasure, your wife is part of the family. I can’t stand a mere little girl lecturing our own!"
"Mom, calling it protection is fine, but in reality, it’s confusion and lack of judgment!"
Old Lady Gao was beyond upset upon hearing Gao Qiming’s words, swiftly grabbing a feather duster to strike her son.
