I was surprised. Looking at the fine steak on the table, I couldn't help but take another glance at Sheng Yun. Every steak was sizzling, and every steak was covered with a small stainless steel dome pot. When it was opened, it was steaming and fragrant.
"When I came out of the wok, I was already 30% done. Now that it's been so long, I should be 70% done. Duo, Auntie, sit down and eat. Duo Duo, that ketchup is yours. " Sheng Yun pointed at the steak on the table and said to Duo Duo with a smile.
I didn't expect him to have such a domestic side to him.
The steak was delicious and the ingredients were very special. He had already tasted my taste and ate it with a mouthful of incense.
Nanny Liu was also praising the steak endlessly, except for Hua Duo. She sat on the table and watched as the steak was in a dilemma. "Dad, Duo Duo has never eaten a steak before. She doesn't know how to cut it."
"Let me help you." Sheng Yun walked over, took her hand from behind, and taught her how to cut the steak into small pieces. Looking at this scene, I felt a bit weird.
So Duoduo came to my and Sheng Yun's house, the next day, I let Nanny Liu take Zaizai to my old house. During the day, when we were at work, I had two other people watch over her, and there was a full surveillance at home so that I could observe her movements while I was at work.
Sheng Yun had already tacitly agreed to all of this. His trust in me had reached an unprecedented level.
Through the monitor, I saw Dodo obediently watching television in the living room, then playing the piano alone, and after a while, to my surprise, she took a broom and rag from a corner, and began to do the housework with great skill, laughing as she watched cartoons on the television. Apart from doing housework, the other children were no different from the others.
This child, it was really hard to understand. Did she do all this to please us? If she was just acting, why didn't she contact Xiaoyun while we were away?
I watched her every move on the screen, and I noticed that she was surprisingly energetic. She was on her hands and knees, cleaning every corner of the living room with a rag, as if she was used to doing these things. I guessed it was probably because the three sisters used to bullying her when she was with Xiaoyun in the United States.
She didn't come into our room, she didn't rummage around, she just wiped the floor, she wiped the table, she watched cartoons, she just wandered around the room when she was bored. I couldn't see the expression on her face, but at that moment I felt a familiar loneliness in her.
At that moment, I suddenly felt some pity, but in a flash, I immediately warned myself not to have any kind intentions towards Duo Duo.
Very soon, Sheng Yun contacted Duo Duo's boarding school. In the outskirts of Western District of Hangcheng, there was a private school. The school environment was elegant and secluded, and many of the rich and powerful people's illegitimate children were sent there.
Sheng Yun and I chose a weekend and specially brought Duoduo to investigate there. On the way, she kept looking out of the window, her face calm.
"Duo Duo, do you miss your mother?" I saw that she was silent, so I asked tentatively.
"I don't want to." She shook her head, her face impassive. That expression didn't seem like it was an act.
As the driver drove, Sheng Yun, Duo Duo and I sat side by side on the back seat. Duo Duo's answer made Sheng Yun recover from his daze. He turned around and asked Duo Duo, "You really don't want to?"
Duoduo shook her head. "I really don't want to."
At that moment, Sheng Yun and I looked at each other with the same shocked expression on our faces.
I thought that after Duoduo came over, she would often cry and make a ruckus. She would try to take over Sheng Yun's favor. However, he didn't.
She acted unusually obedient, going nowhere every day, enjoying herself at home by herself, waiting for us to go to and from work, sleeping well, even washing her own clothes.
She was so obedient that Sheng Yun and I couldn't find any reason to blame her.
"Do you want to go to school?" Sheng Yun lowered his head and asked again.
"Wherever my dad wants me to go, I'll go. Dad, I just want to be with you guys. I don't want to go anywhere. " Duo Duo turned around and hugged Sheng Yun. Her body trembled and she started to cry.
"Duo Duo, be obedient. Don't cry." Sheng Yun said softly.
At that moment, I felt a trace of heartache from Sheng Yun's tone.
"Dad will be obedient. I will stay here and study hard. I know Mom and Dad will probably leave me here forever. I will be good. Dad, wuu …" "As she continued to whimper, her voice was low and oppressive, causing one to feel a twinge of guilt.
Just as they were about to reach the school gate, Sheng Yun suddenly shouted, "Forget it, we're not going anymore. Let's go home!"
At that moment, I looked at Sheng Yun in astonishment. He didn't look at me, but lowered his head to look at the heartache on Duoduo's face. Then he made a gesture that surprised me, and he took her in his lap.
Dodo was nestled in his arms. She stopped crying and suddenly looked at me. I saw the pride in her eyes!
Everything had been deliberately done by her! Being obedient and obedient was just to win Sheng Yun's heart!
It turned out that this was Xiaoyun's real intention in sending her flowers over! I understand it all at once!
I underestimated the child's precocious maturity and acting skills, I also neglected the kinship of the flesh is itself unceasing connection!
"No!" We've already contacted the Principal, so let's go down and take a look. " I know that Sheng Yun had a tender and loving heart toward Duo Duo. Duo successfully awakened the fatherly love in Sheng Yun's heart. For me, this is an extremely bad omen.
"Shubei, forget it. We should contact a nearby school, okay?" Sheng Yun put Duo Duo back into her seat, then looked at me and asked.
My heart skipped a beat. I know that no decision he makes will leave any room for manoeuvre.
Thus, I fell silent. In just half a month, Duo Duo had already opened Sheng Yun's heart. Father and daughter relationship, it's only right and proper. Sheng Yun doesn't have to bear the guilt towards me, on the contrary, once he opens his heart, he will feel even more guilt towards Duo Duo.
She must have known that the more obedient and pitiful she acted, the more Sheng Yun would love her.
When we got home, Sheng Yun made a phone call and hurried back to the company.
In the living room, there were only two people left, me and Duo Duo. She looked at me with a smug smile on her face, a smile that wasn't supposed to be on a child's face.
"Happy? You think you can get Daddy's love, right? " I asked, looking at her.
"I know you're upset, but you'll be even more upset in the future. Aunt Shubei, is your heart hurting? " It was clearly a childish voice, but the words that came out were exactly the same as Xiaoyun's.
"Duo Duo, what you're doing is something your mother taught you, right?" I asked, crouching down as patiently as I could.
Because I knew that the surveillance would record everything about us, including our conversations.
"Mom said we have to get back what belongs to us. You are our enemy, and I will help mother destroy you. " Dodo looked at me smugly.
In the end, she was still a child, but after obtaining a small victory, she couldn't help but reveal her secret. But I'm glad.
"What else did your mother say? Your mom still loves Sheng Yun, right? " I asked again.
"Tch!" Unexpectedly, Duo Duo snorted and said, "Only stupid women like you care about love, status is the most important, no money, no power, no respect, only people with money and power can look up to it."
"Is that what your mother told you?" I couldn't help but ask, "Duoduo, you are just a child. How can you say such words?"
"Stop pretending to be an adult in front of me. It won't be long before this house's owner isn't necessarily anyone else. No matter how many women my father had, I was his only daughter. I knew that as long as I was obedient, my father would definitely like me. " Duo Duo said proudly.
"You really don't miss your mother? Do you want to talk to your mother on the phone? " I asked again.
A hint of expectation appeared in her eyes, but she quickly shook her head and said, "You don't need to test me, I won't contact my mother. My mother told me not to contact her. But why should I tell you this? My father will not like you very much. "
I dialed Xiaoyun's number right in front of her and turned on the megaphone. When Xiaoyun's voice came through the phone, she shouted, "Mom!"
"Didn't I tell you not to contact me? "Why are you so disobedient?" Xiaoyun shouted in alarm from the other end of the phone, and then she pretended to whisper, "Why are you using her cell phone to call me? Where is she? "
"Of course I'm by the side. Duoduo is alone at home, how can I be at ease? Especially after she told me your purpose, I can't be at ease. " I said into the phone.
"What have you done to Dodo? "Xu Shubei, you cousin, if you dare do anything to my daughter, I'll definitely not let you off!" When Xiaoyun heard my voice, she lost her composure and shouted into the phone.
"Mom, dad is starting to feel sorry for me, just like you said! We will soon be able to live together as a family of three! " she called into the phone.
"Xiaoyun, is this your goal? Trying to tie a man's heart with a child? I thought you had some skill, but I didn't expect you to be so mediocre. " I said coldly into the phone.
Just then, Dodo suddenly grabbed my hair, grabbed an ashtray from the coffee table and slammed it down on my head, shouting, "Mom, I hit her for you!" I'll smash her with an ashtray! "
