TGLC Chapter 32.4

Xie Qingyu felt as if she were seeing things.

After all, in her memory, her former mother-in-law, although she treated her well, always maintained the poise of a noblewoman, and her smile was always proper and composed.

Xie Qingyu’s status was actually not good enough for Duan Zihui, but no one could disobey his grandfather. So, although Du Qinrong didn’t like Xie Qingyu, she always maintained politeness toward her, as well as a subtle distance.

Overall, she treated her well.

She was generous with what she could give to her daughter-in-law.

However, Xie Qingyu had never seen her laugh like that before.

Duan Zihui was about the same.

He had serious disagreements with his father at work. Although his mother didn’t interfere much in his affairs, Duan Zihui rarely came home, so his relationship with her was somewhat strained.

He rarely saw his mother laughing so heartily.

“Grandmother?”

Zhuzhu felt a little confused by the sudden appearance of the grandmother. The bag in her hand fell to the ground, and Zhuzhu immediately struggled in the grandmother’s arms.

“Let go of me!”

“Mom, please save me!”

“The bad woman is going to take me away!”

Du Qinrong was holding her quite tightly. Seeing the child struggle, she immediately comforted her, “My little darling, I’m your own grandma.”

She couldn’t break free.

Her parents just watched as the woman clung to her without coming closer. The little girl pouted, tears welled up in her eyes, and then she burst into loud sobs.

Xie Qingyu only suddenly came to her senses at this moment.

Duan Zihui quickly went over and took the little girl from Du Qinrong’s arms, his face slightly displeased. He gently scolded, “Mom, don’t scare the child.”

Du Qinrong innocently replied, “I didn’t scare her! I saw how cute this little darling is as soon as I came in, and I couldn’t help but come over and hug her.”

“Honestly, you have a daughter, why didn’t you tell your family?”

“Mommy!” Zhuzhu’s cries interrupted her.

When Little Zhuzhu cried, she didn’t want her father to hold her; she reached out to her mother instead.

“Woo, woo, Mommy, I’m going to be kidnapped by bad people, and you won’t save me.”

“Woo, woo, don’t you want your little baby anymore?”

Xie Qingyu quickly took Zhuzhu from Duan Zihui’s arms. The girl immediately lowered her head, hugged her shoulders, and started crying.

Du Qinrong hadn’t expected her impulsive actions to frighten the little girl; she felt a little embarrassed.

Xie Qingyu patted Zhuzhu on the back and explained to her, “Zhuzhu, this is Grandma, Daddy’s mom.”

The little girl sobbed pitifully, her voice broken as she cried, “I know…she’s Daddy’s…Mom.”

“She’s just like Daddy…just as bad. She tried to snatch the child as soon as she arrived, woo, woo, woo… If Daddy wasn’t born from her, then who was? They’re both the same big bad people.”

“I…I don’t want to go with bad people.”

Xie Qingyu quickly comforted her, “Okay, okay, you won’t go. Don’t cry. Mommy won’t let anyone take my baby away.”

Zhuzhu then slowly stopped crying.

Du Qinrong, standing to the side, looked utterly innocent: She just wanted to hug her. She was so cute, so was it wrong for her, as her grandmother, to like her?

When did she start trying to snatch the child?

She glared at Duan Zihui.

It was because of him that her beloved granddaughter had misunderstood her.

Duan Zihui never expected that, after so much time had passed, the incident would still be dragged up by Zhuzhu and dredge up the past. With his mother glaring at him like that, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
