Chapter 22 - 22 21 Were Even Now
Chapter 22: Chapter 21: We’re Even Now Chapter 22: Chapter 21: We’re Even Now Mianmian had intended to negotiate with Zeze—if he wanted to see the butterfly, she would let him see it. She had not expected Zeze to just yank the butterfly away.
In pain, she teared up and covered her hair, “How could you pull on my little butterfly like that.”
Zeze made a face, “Meh, I just wanted to snatch your little butterfly; come on and hit me.”
As he tried to run away, he was stopped by Su Chenfei, and the butterfly was taken from him.
The tall man picked up the little boy as if he were picking up a chick and brought him back to Mianmian’s side, “Apologize to my little auntie.”
When Zeze’s mother saw her son being dragged by Su Chenfei, she glanced at the live-stream camera and said with a smile, “You’re Su Chenfei, right? I’m Xu Weiwei; I debuted a year earlier than you, so I’m your senior. It’s normal for kids to fight. They should resolve it themselves. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to be so harsh on my son?”
“I know you’re not petty. Let my son go, and I’ll have him apologize to the little sister.”
With her seamless words, Su Chenfei frowned. She spoke of seniority to assert dominance, then said children fighting was normal, was this a dig at him for being petty?
So what if he was petty?
Didn’t she see how his little auntie was tearing up, about to cry?
“No, he can apologize first and then I’ll let go.” Su Chenfei glanced at Xu Weiwei with contempt, “You can’t control your son.”
“Su Chenfei, listen to me, let the child go first,” Qin Tao also came over, “Don’t be impulsive, he’s just a child, not an adult. Holding him up by his collar could suffocate him.”
[Why does it feel like Qin the actor’s words have a deeper meaning?]
[Who cares about the hidden meaning? His little auntie lost so much hair, if it were my child, I’d make them apologize too.]
[Shouldn’t adults keep out of children’s conflicts? Let the children resolve it themselves.]
The audience was divided and quarreling over this matter.
Although Su Chenfei was reluctant to give face to Xu Weiwei, he was willing to give face to his brother Qin Tao. Reluctantly, he released Zeze’s collar and said coldly, “Apologize quickly!”
After speaking, Su Chenfei crouched next to Mianmian and gently blew on her, offering comfort, “There, there, it doesn’t hurt, doesn’t hurt, be a good girl.”
His heart was almost breaking.
Mianmian did indeed have a tuft of hair dropped from her head about the size of a toddler’s pinky finger, the skin was reddened, and the bald spot was very conspicuous. Nearby, Director Hu signaled to the crew, and cameras immediately zoomed in on Mianmian’s head, capturing the injury clearly.
Those viewers who had been saying Su Chenfei was in the wrong fell silent upon seeing Mianmian’s missing hair.
Indeed, Zeze had gone too far. How could he pull a little girl’s hair like that? What if he had used a bit more force, would he have torn off a piece of her scalp too?
“Seventh grandchild.” Mianmian’s eyes were red, her small hand touching the top of her head, feeling the smooth, slightly painful bald patch, panicked, “Am I going bald? Will I become ‘Mediterranean’ Mianmian in the future?”
The childish query made Su Chenfei feel both heartbroken and amused, “No, no, we just need to eat more black sesame seeds, and your hair will grow back very soon.”
“That’s right, and He Shouwu is also good for hair growth.” Mianmian calmed down, walked over to Zeze from her chair, her little face stern, “You pulled out my hair, you need to apologize to me!”
Zeze was already covering his ears, not wanting to listen to his mother nagging, and now upon hearing Mianmian demanding an apology, he made a face at Mianmian again, “Meh, I’m not going to apologize to you, you’re an ugly freak.”
Mianmian was infuriated, her fair little face puffing up as she placed her tiny hands on her hips and tilted her chin upwards, “I’m not a weirdo, and if you don’t apologize, Mianmian will retaliate.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Weiwei looked at Mianmian with disdain, “What’s with this child? It’s not like my son did it on purpose. Look, I’ll apologize on behalf of my son. Your hair fell out, can I just compensate you with money?”
Her words sounded very arrogant.
Just as Su Chenfei was about to respond with sarcasm, Mianmian, standing by his side, cut in before him, “That won’t do, you are you, he is him. If he did something wrong, your apology on his behalf is useless, he is still in the wrong.”
The words of this little person turned Xu Weiwei’s face from green to white, she didn’t know what to say in return, and could only turn to scold her son fiercely, “Did you hear that? If you did something wrong, apologize quickly, or else she will retaliate and hit you.”
Upon hearing this, Zeze lifted his chin, “Let her hit me, it’s none of your business.”
Xu Weiwei saw her son’s resistant look and truly felt worn out.
Four years ago, her career in the Entertainment Circle was on the rise, but she was pursued by North City’s rich second generation Wang Jian. Thinking that after marrying into a wealthy family, she would be supported and wouldn’t have to struggle with a bunch of women in the entertainment industry, bloodied and bruised, she accepted Wang Jian’s proposal. But who knew, after getting married, her mother-in-law couldn’t stand her, branding her as nothing more than someone for sale from the entertainment industry.
With her mother-in-law stirring up trouble, her husband Wang Jian quickly became estranged from her and took on mistresses. If it weren’t for her getting pregnant and giving birth to a son, they might have already divorced.
But even having a son didn’t help. After the child turned one, her mother-in-law forcefully kept the son close to her, not allowing him to bond with Xu Weiwei at all.
This time, going on the Variety Show was because her father-in-law had a secret child, her mother-in-law was making a fuss about killing herself, and Wang Jian was no longer giving her money, that Xu Weiwei quietly took this job.
It also took a lot of coaxing to bring her son over, hoping to make a comeback on the Variety Show, to have some work during the Wang Family’s turmoil. However, along the way, her son threw tantrums no less than ten times, driving her, who already lacked experience with children, to an exasperating point where she felt like banging her head against the wall.
Now that her son also pulled another child’s hair and completely refused to apologize with the camera capturing everything. How could the audience possibly like him with such an attitude, especially when he couldn’t even pretend to be remorseful?
Xu Weiwei looked at the camera again, resigned to her fate, and irritably said, “Fine, fine, fine, you have it your way, I won’t intervene. Let her retaliate, beat you to death for all I care.”
After she spoke, she truly stepped back two paces, looking at Mianmian, “Go ahead and hit him, I can’t manage him, that’s that.”
Mianmian looked carefully at Xu Weiwei before nodding seriously, “Okay, then. Mianmian will retaliate now.”
Having said that, she reached out and grabbed Zeze’s hair.
Zeze sported the watermelon-head haircut popular among little boys, with long hair in the middle and shaved sides. Mianmian caught a good handful. She estimated it roughly equal to the amount of her own hair that had fallen, and with an equivalent tug, a tuft of Zeze’s hair also fell out.
When his hair was pulled out, Zeze was dumbfounded with pain, his once proud eyes instantly filling with shock. He resembled Xu Weiwei with his double eyelids and large eyes, fair skin, and when his eyes rounded in surprise, he looked somewhat adorable.
[I’m dying of laughter, our Little Auntie really retaliated.]
[Su Chenfei’s Little Auntie is so fierce, no one will want her in the future.]
[To the person before, I remember you saying that children should resolve children’s matters, right? So why, now that the children are resolving it themselves, are you cursing her to be unwanted?]
After pulling on Zeze’s hair, Mianmian turned to look at Su Chenfei, “Seventh grandchild, where is the hair I lost?”
Su Chenfei didn’t expect his own Little Auntie to be so fierce and was stunned for a while before handing the hair to Mianmian. It was the hair he had retrieved from the hairpin.
Mianmian held strands of hair in both hands, looking super serious as she said to Zeze, “Look Zeze, you pulled out this much of mine, and I pulled out this much of yours, we’re even now.”
What do you think?
