DD Chapter 49

 

 

Jiang Er was having breakfast with Dudu when suddenly a surprised voice sounded beside them.

 

“Wow, Dudu, you’re here too?”

 

Jiang Er looked up and saw a girl wearing Huanyu’s gym clothes standing beside them, looking at Dudu on the seat with surprise.

 

Jiang Er asked in confusion, “Do you know Dudu?”

 

Yu Ziqi quickly said, “I’m Dudu’s aunt. I happen to be having lunch here too. Can I join you guys?”

 

Jiang Er vaguely remembered that Yu Shanshan used to have a sister, but this sister seemed not to be a real sister, but a stepsister. Could this be her?

 

Jiang Er was about to ask her to sit down when Dudu suddenly spoke up, “Uncle, she’s not my aunt. My mom said I don’t have an aunt, she’s pretending!”

 

Afraid that Jiang Er wouldn’t believe him, he added, ‘she even fought with my mom last time.”

 

Yu Ziqi didn’t expect a three-year-old kid to be so articulate. His words made her face stiffen, and she wanted to scold this annoying kid, but she quickly smiled and said, “Dudu, I really am your aunt. My last name is also Yu, just like your mom’s. I had a little quarrel with your mom, and she’s ignoring me now, so she said I’m not your aunt. But actually, your mom and I get along very well. Look, I still have a family photo of me, your mom, and your grandparents in my phone.”

 

Yu Ziqi quickly found the only family photo taken five years ago in her phone. It was a photo that her stepfather had ordered the whole family to take back then. Yu Shanshan reluctantly agreed to it at the time. She inadvertently saved it and it came in handy now.

 

Jiang Er looked at the photo, indeed it was a family photo of Yu Shanshan’s family, and the woman next to Yu Shanshan was indeed the one in front of him. But why didn’t Dudu acknowledge her identity?

 

Jiang Er frowned, not sure what was going on. Just as he was about to call Yu Shanshan and ask, he saw Dudu jump off the seat, then grabbed his little tiger bag that he carried with him, rummaged inside for a while, and suddenly hid something behind him without letting anyone see. Then he looked up at Yu Ziqi with a cute face and said, “You said you’re my aunt. Then bend down and listen to me say something. Then I’ll know if you’re really my aunt.”

 

Yu Ziqi did as he asked, smiling as she bent down to Dudu’s face. “You want to say to Auntie, ah—”

 

Before Yu Ziqi could finish her sentence, she covered her eyes and screamed like crazy, unable to open her eyes because of the pain.

 

Seeing this, Dudu quickly pulled Jiang Er, who was still confused, and ran outside. “Uncle, let’s run quickly, don’t let the bad guys catch us.”

 

Jiang Er instinctively followed the little guy and later found that the little guy was running too slowly, so he picked him up and ran out like a streak of smoke. When they reached the elevator and it started going up, he put Dudu down, panting, and asked the little guy in confusion, “What are you doing? What did you spray on her eyes just now?”

 

Dudu showed him the anti-wolf spray he was still holding tightly in his hand. ‘this is what Mom gave me. Mom said it’s a weapon to deal with bad guys.”

 

Jiang Er saw that the little guy was holding a bottle of anti-wolf spray and asked in confusion, “But she’s supposed to be your aunt. Why did you spray her with this?”

 

Dudu put the spray back into his little bag, zipped it up, then answered, “Mom said she doesn’t have any sisters. If someone comes pretending to be my aunt, they must be big bad guys trying to kidnap me. I must fight against the big bad guys!”

 

Actually, what Shanshan originally said was: Anyone who wants to be related to you is a big bad guy. But after the last incident where Dudu accidentally injured Grandpa, Shanshan narrowed down the definition of the bad guy to specifically include anyone who claims to be Dudu’s aunt, urging Dudu to fight them.

 

Dudu remembered this statement firmly.

 

Jiang Er pondered for a moment and roughly understood. The girl just now was probably Shanshan’s stepsister, but their relationship was very bad. Shanshan didn’t want to acknowledge this sister, and consequently didn’t want Dudu to have any contact with her either.

 

It seemed that next time he encountered this woman, he”d better stay away.

 

But this little chubby boy from Shanshan’s family was really clever. A grown-up being bullied so badly by a little kid, it must have made the grown-up feel like they were going to cough up blood.

 

He really liked this kid and even wanted to take him home.

 

So Jiang Er carried Dudu back to the gym and shouted to the sweating Shanshan, ‘shanshan, let me adopt your little chubby boy. I like him too much.”

 

Shanshan raised her eyebrows arrogantly and said, “Get in line. Everyone who wants to be my son’s godfather has lined up around the Earth.”

 

Jiang Er clicked his tongue and could only regretfully put down the smart little chubby boy in his arms.

 

As soon as Dudu was put down, he ran to Shanshan and proudly said, “Mom, I fought against the bad guy just now, and this time I didn’t make a mistake.”

 

Shanshan’s heart skipped a beat. The last time she accidentally injured his grandfather still haunted her, so she immediately asked, “Little chubby boy, who did you fight against?”

 

Dudu said, ‘she said she’s my aunt. I remembered what you said, that anyone who claims to be my aunt is definitely a big bad guy, so I sprayed her, and then she screamed.”

 

Shanshan’s spirit lifted, “Did she really say she’s your aunt? Is she the same one who fought with Mom last time?”

 

Dudu nodded, “It’s the same person.”

 

Shanshan couldn’t control her emotions and fell onto the mat with a thud. She didn’t care and got up, holding the little guy’s face and kissing him, praising him, “Good son, you’re amazing. You finally vented my anger.”

 

Praised by his mother, Dudu was also very happy and promised to do even better next time.

 

Jiang Er and Yan Shao shivered as they watched. This mother and son were too terrifying!

 

After lecturing Yu Ziqi, Shanshan originally thought she would come over to argue with her, but she waited for two days and didn’t hear anything. Everything was calm, which was completely unlike Yu Ziqi’s character. In the past, she wouldn’t have hesitated to come over and confront her.

 

Shanshan couldn’t help but wonder why Yu Ziqi was so afraid of her now. Or rather, why did Yu Ziqi want to curry favor with her?

 

She mentioned this doubt to Yuan Long, who fell silent for a moment before saying, “Indeed, something’s not right. I’ll have someone investigate your sister’s situation.”

 

Two days later, Yuan Long reported the investigation results to Shanshan.

 

“Your stepsister isn’t doing well in the entertainment industry, but she recently got a role as the second female lead in a film directed by a famous director. However, she obtained this role by becoming the mistress of Jingdu Entertainment’s vice president.”

 

Shanshan widened her eyes, “Isn’t Jingdu Entertainment’s vice president already in his forties? And doesn’t he have a wife and children?”

 

Yuan Long confirmed.

 

Jingdu Entertainment’s vice president, Wang Kun, often appeared in public as a well-behaved gentleman and a loving father. Many people thought his wife was very lucky to marry a successful man who loved his wife and family so much. But who would have thought that such a man actually had many mistresses behind his wife’s back?

 

Shanshan clicked her tongue twice, ‘so now Yu Ziqi is going to be someone’s mistress? How disgraceful!”

 

Yuan Long continued, “Wang Kun has many mistresses, not just Yu Ziqi, and his wife comes from a powerful family and is quite cunning. The mistresses caught by her usually don’t end well. Yu Ziqi probably also knows that following Wang Kun isn’t a long-term solution and is afraid of being caught by his wife, so she’s been looking for a new shelter.”

 

After hearing this, Shanshan dismissed the matter and instead talked to Yuan Long about her recent plans.

 

She planned to enroll her little chubby boy in a boxing training class.

 

“Now that the little chubby boy doesn’t have to go to school, he’s idle all day long. All he does is play, eat, and sleep. If this continues, he’ll become as round as a ball.”

 

Just as she pushed the door open and coincidentally heard her mother say he”d become as round as a ball, Dudu was furious, stomping his feet and making gestures as if he was going to hit someone, “Bad mommy, if you slander me again, I’ll hit you!”

 

Shanshan quickly aimed the camera at the little guy, complaining to Yuan Long on the other end of the phone, “Look, look, your son now wants to hit me.”

 

The little guy got even more angry and quickly ran over to clarify to his father, “Daddy, I haven’t become round as a ball! I’m still handsome!”

 

Shanshan poked the chubby cheeks, “Little chubby boy, you’re so narcissistic. You say you haven’t gained weight, but you’re fatter this month than last month!”

 

Feeling unjustly accused by his mother, Dudu was very dissatisfied, “I haven’t ! I haven’t gained weight. I think I’ve lost weight!”

 

Yuan Long laughed on the phone and didn’t intervene in the mother and son’s struggle.

 

Shanshan poked the little chubby boy, feeling that he was persistent, and decided to teach him today what clear self-awareness meant.

 

She took the weight scale from under the bed and placed it in front of the chubby boy, saying, “Come on, Pangpang, stand on it and see the reality for yourself.”

 

The little guy froze immediately, his eyes nervously darting around, avoiding looking at the scale in front of him. His chubby hands twisted uncomfortably, and he stuttered, “Mom, I just finished dinner, so there’s a lot of food in my belly. The weight of the food doesn’t count towards my weight.”

 

“Hehe.” Shanshan exposed his lie, “It’s been four hours since you finished dinner, dear. Just now, you even asked me for snacks, saying your stomach was empty.”

 

The little guy’s face turned red instantly.

 

Yuan Long almost burst into laughter on the other end, but he held it in, afraid of hurting the little guy’s delicate self-esteem. Seeing the pitiful look of the little guy, he, as a compassionate father, decided to save his son from embarrassment and said, “Even though it’s been a long time since dinner, the weight measurement might still not be accurate. Let’s weigh again tomorrow morning.”

 

Dudu vigorously nodded in agreement. Yes, it’s not the right time to weigh now, it’s inaccurate.

 

Since someone pleaded for him, Shanshan decided to let go of the chubby boy and said, “Go play.”

 

Dudu immediately scurried off to play with Er Bao, not even wanting to talk to his usually cherished dad.

 

Yuan Long indulgently chuckled, “You always tease him.”

 

Shanshan snorted, “I wasn’t teasing him. He’s indeed overweight. I want him to exercise more to avoid getting fatter as he grows up. He’s cute now because he’s chubby, but if he gets fatter as he grows older, it will be ugly. And then, losing weight will be as painful for him as it is for me now.” She was almost in tears from the pain.

 

Yuan Long also knew the hardships she was enduring, which most people couldn’t handle. He wanted to hug her through the phone and said, “Don’t push yourself too hard. Let’s take it slowly.”

 

“Oh, I can handle it.” Shanshan smiled cunningly, kicked off her shoes, stepped onto the scale, aimed the camera at the screen displaying the numbers, and urged Yuan Long to take a look, “Ding ding ding~ Look how much I weigh now.”

 

Yuan Long looked at the number on the screen and was astonished. It showed that her current weight was only 142 pounds.

 

“How did you lose so much weight? When I left, you weighed over 150 pounds.”

 

Shanshan smirked, “Because I’ve increased my exercise intensity during this period. After you left, I lost another ten pounds. Don’t I look much better now than before?”

 

Yuan Long was both happy and distressed for her, all his words converged into one sentence, “You look great, really great.”

 

Shanshan smiled happily. Although she knew she was still overweight compared to normal girls, she had lost so much weight compared to before. Now her face was half the size it used to be, and her whole body had shrunk significantly. The clothes she used to wear couldn’t fit anymore, so she bought some new ones that fit her now. She didn’t regret spending the money at all; instead, she felt great.

 

Moreover, she couldn’t reach her feet before, but now she could. Bending over and doing things were no longer difficult, and everything was much easier. In short, she felt like she had suddenly thrown off a half mountain of burden on her body.

 

What made her happiest was that she finally didn’t attract as much attention and gossip as before when she walked down the street. For her, this was really wonderful.

 

After experiencing so much pain and torture, and rejecting so many delicious foods and temptations, it was all worth it.

 

Shanshan fist-bumped Yuan Long, making a vow, “I will continue to work hard. When you come back next time, I will be even thinner and more beautiful!”

 

Yuan Long softly “hmmed,” but couldn’t help but say, “You already look very beautiful now.”

 

“Oh~” Shanshan’s old face was a little embarrassed by his words, and she covered her face with her hands, peeking at him through her fingers.

 

Seeing her playful appearance, Yuan Long couldn’t help but laugh along with her. The two of them laughed like fools for a long time, until Yuan Long realized it was getting late and hung up the phone. But before he hung up, he mentioned Dudu’s matter, ‘sending him to learn boxing is also a good idea. He’s strong.”

 

Shanshan fully agreed. If she had to find a good point about her chubby son, his strength was definitely a prominent one. It was evident from the fact that he was waving his arms and legs vigorously even when he was just born, stronger than other babies his age. As he grew older, his strength only increased. Although this kid was only three years old, his strength was comparable to that of a ten-year-old. Sometimes she would be sore from his accidental punches for a long time.

 

She felt like she accidentally gave birth to a strongman.

 

This little guy’s talent couldn’t be wasted. She had to make good use of it. Learning boxing would not only make the little guy’s talent not go to waste but also help him lose weight, preventing him from becoming a big fat guy in the future.
