That night, Le Qinzhen slept with Mu Xiaoshi.
The little girl had cried just now, and her eyes were still slightly swollen. Le Qinzhen wiped her cheeks with a wet towel, feeling distressed and guilt welling up in her heart, which was sour and unbearable.
She thought of what Mu Xiaoshi had said to her just now. She felt sad and happy at the same time. Fortunately, Mu Xiaoshi still had a kind and clean heart after experiencing so many cruel things.
Why did she fail to see this side of her daughter? She was so harsh and demanding on her. What she clearly needed more was confidence and encouragement.
As for Aunt Shu, she did not treat Mu Xiaoshi poorly in material terms, nor did she impose any physical punishment on Mu Xiaoshi. It would be difficult to convict her.
But she can fire Aunt Shu. She can also prevent Aunt Shu from finding any job as a nanny.
***
After Si Tian brought the two children home, Ji Zhile clamored that he wanted to play chess with Ji Ningyi again and that he must defeat his brother with his own strength.
He was very confident, so Si Tian didn’t want to stop him. She quietly became a bystander.
It was just that Ji Zhile’s level of chess was just such to the extent that even Si Tian could be irritated as a bystander. Even if he played poorly, he often didn’t see Ji Ningyi letting loose. He only concentrated on blocking Ji Ningyi’s chess pieces, but he failed to block the important places.
Seeing that Ji Ningyi’s chess pieces were connected into five pieces, he even asked coquettishly if he could go back one step and try again.
Ji Ningyi had a good temper and agreed with him. Just like that, Ji Zhile still didn’t win. After playing three rounds, he gave up and stopped playing.
He may have realized that he owed his brother a little, so he took the initiative to go to the room to find snacks for them.
Ji Zhile ran away. Si Tian comforted Ji Ningyi: “Don’t be angry, Ningyi. You won’t play chess with Zhile next time until he realizes his mistake.”
Ji Ningyi said, “Mom, I’m not angry. It’s just a game. Just for fun.”
“Then, Ningyi, are you happy?” Si Tian didn’t believe that he was happy.
Who would have fun with someone who plays chess but regrets the steps afterward?
“I’m happy.” Ji Ningyi said, “It’s not about the game. It’s about having fun with Zhile.”
“I have the most fun playing with Mom.” He added.
Si Tian’s heart melted immediately. She hugged Ji Ningyi: “Play, let’s play tomorrow!”
After telling the two children a bedtime story at night, Si Tian lay on the bed and listened to Xiao Ai’s report on the latest completion of the side mission, which was already 90%.
Si Tian thought that the key to Mu Xiaoshi’s future change was indeed Le Qinzhen. The child’s favorite person must be her mother. The degree of completion that had stopped for a few days soared tonight.
Xiao Ai murmured: [Why is there still 10% left? I thought that it would all be completed tonight.]
Si Tian asked, “Are you in a hurry?”
[Yes.]
Xiao Ai said: [Our system is very busy.]
Si Tian said a few words of comfort, such as taking more rest and relaxing, but she didn’t think much about other things because Xiao Ai would still be bound to her for more than ten years.
At noon the next day, Si Tian was eating.
Xiao Ai shouted in her mind: [Ah, host, the completion of the side mission is full!]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the side mission: Changing Mu Xiaoshi’s future.
Reward issued: Life value 200 days
Congratulations to the host!]
Si Tian was stunned for a moment. Xiao Ai rarely spoke suddenly while she was eating. Even the system had a good habit of respecting people during meals.
Si Tian smiled: “That’s good, we’re all happy together.”
Xiao Ai introduced: [It’s because Mu Xiaoshi’s mother fired Aunt Shu. According to the original plot, Aunt Shu would have been working at Mu Xiaoshi’s house until Mu Xiaoshi went to high school, leaving an indelible shadow on Mu Xiaoshi’s childhood. Now, those are gone.]
[Host, there are no side missions anymore. The main missions are also progressing in an orderly manner.]
[Host, I have to leave too.]
