Chapter 875: 877, perform a show (first update)

"Sure, please try it quickly; it won’t taste good once it’s cooled." Xiao Jinzi nodded eagerly.

Bird’s nest soup is a tonic and naturally wouldn’t be made in large quantities, so after just a couple of sips, the old Madam Mo finished it and smiled, "Your mother’s cooking skills really aren’t bad at all--give her my thanks when you go back."

"Granny, you’re too polite; this is all my mother should do." Xiao Jinzi said with a smile, his eyes landing on the sweater on the sofa with a bit of curiosity, "Granny, what are you doing here?"

Old Madam Mo explained with a smile, "Autumn is approaching, and this is a sweater I’m knitting for Bao Bao and Bei Bei."

"Granny, you’re amazing--you can even knit sweaters!" Xiao Jinzi’s eyes shone with admiration, and he continued, "My grandma can’t do anything! She has never knitted a sweater for me. It’s nice to have a grandma... I wish I had one too..." As he spoke, Xiao Jinzi’s gaze gradually dimmed, looking very pitiable.

Old Madam Mo’s heart softened at this pitiful sight, and she quickly embraced Xiao Jinzi, comforting him, "Good child, don’t be sad. You have a granny too; from now on, granny will dote on you."

Xiao Jinzi began to cry out loud, "Granny, thank you. I want a sweater like this too; could you give me one?"

"Of course, I can." Old Madam Mo nodded, picked up the tape measure beside her, and said to Xiao Jinzi, "Come here, let granny take your measurements."

Xiao Jinzi rubbed his eyes, and a quick flash of triumphant gleam passed through his swollen red eyes.

Having charmed Granny so successfully, his grandma and mother would surely be very happy when he got back.

Old Madam Mo took Xiao Jinzi’s measurements and wrote them down seriously.

After all, Xiao Jinzi was two years older than Bao Bao and Bei Bei, so his height and size were different.

Looking at Old Madam Mo with anticipation, Xiao Jinzi said, "Granny, when will you finish? I can’t wait to wear it, and you’re the first person to make clothes for me."

Xiao Jinzi appeared very excited.

Old Madam Mo replied with a smile, "Don’t worry; once I finish Bao Bao and Bei Bei’s clothes, I’ll make yours. I’ll have someone send it to you then. Rest assured, it will be done before autumn."

At these words, a hint of impatience flashed through Xiao Jinzi’s eyes. Those Bao Bao and Bei Bei are so annoying! They’re everywhere! Now they’re even competing with him for Granny’s attention!

Shameless!

Xiao Jinzi’s eyes flickered, and embracing Old Madam Mo’s arm, he cooed, "Granny, could you please knit my sweater first? No one has ever knit one for me before; I’m not as fortunate as Bao Bao and Bei Bei to have a grandma who makes clothes for them..." His voice was filled with grievance as he spoke.

Indeed, Xiao Jinzi was quite pitiable.

He had no father and no grandparents...

He lacked so many loving and caring people around him.

In that instant, Old Madam Mo’s heart melted.

She looked at Xiao Jinzi and continued, "Alright, alright, granny promises you. Don’t be sad anymore, Xiao Jinzi."

"Thank you, Granny. You’re the best." Xiao Jinzi hugged Old Madam Mo’s neck excitedly and acted spoiled.

Old Madam Mo also smiled happily.

Li Xiangzhi stood outside the door, very satisfied with all that was unfolding.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion according to her plan.

Seeing that Xiao Jinzi had completed the task so brilliantly, Li Xiangzhi left quietly.

"Granny, I don’t really have anything to thank you with, so how about I demonstrate the special ability I’ve recently learned?" Xiao Jinzi looked at Old Madam Mo considerately.

Old Madam Mo smiled and said, "It’s hard to be so sensible at such a young age, then go ahead and perform it for granny."

Xiao Jinzi happily demonstrated his newly learned special ability for Old Madam Mo.

Old Madam Mo watched happily and even applauded, "Xiao Jinzi is really amazing."

With that, Xiao Jinzi became even more proud of himself.

He scoffed inwardly at Old Madam Mo; she had seen nothing yet. The truly impressive abilities were yet to come.

But then he thought about it; those twin brothers were just good-for-nothings after all and probably couldn’t even learn the most basic special ability, no wonder Old Madam Mo applauded for him.

For a moment, Xiao Jinzi was extremely proud and proceeded to demonstrate an even more advanced special ability to Old Madam Mo.

Just then, the voices of Bao Bao and Bei Bei came from outside the door, "Granny, Granny, we’re back!"

Hearing the voices of Bao Bao and Bei Bei, Xiao Jinzi held his head even higher. Those two good-for-nothings would surely be stunned when they saw the outstanding him-- after all, not everyone can learn special abilities.

"Bao Bao, Bei Bei, over here." Old Madam Mo stood up with laughter in her eyes.

"Granny, we’ve missed you so much." Bao Bao and Bei Bei climbed onto the sofa, one massaging Old Madam Mo’s legs, the other kneading her shoulders.

Old Madam Mo was overjoyed and couldn’t stop smiling.

Xiao Jinzi was still performing his water-based special ability, creating a water dragon that surged directly towards Bao Bao.

Bao Bao didn’t even glance at Xiao Jinzi, unsure what he was proud of. Water-based abilities were the lowest level in the Superpower World; he’d stopped playing with that when he was two. Yet, Xiao Jinzi was now showing it off like treasure.

Nonchalantly, Bao Bao picked up a grape from the table and tossed it toward the water dragon.

Instantly,

There was a splash, and the backwash drenched Xiao Jinzi from head to toe.

Xiao Jinzi hadn’t even had time to react before he was completely soaked; he stood there, stunned.

What happened?

The water was supposed to drench Bao Bao, so why did it end up on him instead?

Xiao Jinzi had intended to use this opportunity to teach Bao Bao and Bei Bei a lesson, to make them recognize his prowess.

But instead, it was he who ended up drenched!

Could there be some problem here?

Before Little Gold could react, a slapping sound arose from the air, "Wow! Little Gold, you’re so amazing, the show you’ve performed is so incredible!" Bao Bao played the trick of playing dumb.

Bei Bei also said with a face full of admiration, "Yeah, that’s right, Little Gold, you’re really impressive, perform another one for us, please."

The two siblings sang praises in turn, leading Little Gold in circles.

Madam Mo couldn’t detect anything amiss and truly thought that Little Gold was performing some kind of show.

Little Gold looked at Bao Bao and Bei Bei with a smug expression and spoke, "Wait, I’ll perform another one for you."

Little Gold once again conjured a water dragon, only this time, he shifted his target toward Bei Bei.

Bei Bei curled her lips slightly. Though she didn’t understand special abilities, she was trained in ancient martial arts, Qimen Dunjia, and Bagua, and solving a minor low-level special ability wasn’t a problem for her.

Don’t think that Bao Bao and Bei Bei are only four years old, but they are clever indeed, no one can take advantage of them.

And so, Little Gold was once again drenched by the water.

His clothes were completely soaked through.

Bei Bei jumped up and clapped her hands, "Wow, Little Gold, you’re so great, it’s really fun, why not perform another one for us?"

Watching someone get drenched like a drowned rat, of course, was amusing.

The key was, Little Gold had no clue that he was being deliberately fooled by Bao Bao and Bei Bei, and continued to act arrogantly and domineeringly in front of them.

Even soaked, he thought he was better than two nobodies!

In front of Bao Bao and Bei Bei, Tong Tianjin was full of a sense of superiority.

Little did he know, in the eyes of Bao Bao and Bei Bei, he was just a clown jumping on the beams.

"Qinghe, quickly get a clean towel, look at this child, all drenched!" Madam Mo said with a face full of distress, "You silly child, it’s fine to perform, but why get yourself so wet?"

Little Gold said with a grin, trying to please, "As long as it can make Grandma and my younger siblings happy, even if Little Gold has to pay more, Little Gold is willing."

Bei Bei also said with a smile, "Little Gold, you really have filial piety."

Madam Mo turned toward Qinghe, "Qinghe, quickly send Little Gold back to the east wing room, don’t let the child catch a cold."

Qinghe glanced at Madam Mo and then answered, "Okay, madam, I understand."

To show how well-behaved and clever he was, Little Gold obediently followed Qinghe away.

However, no sooner had Little Gold left, Bao Bao and Bei Bei couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into loud laughter.

The two little fellows laughed so hard they couldn’t even stand up straight.

"You two little mischievous sprites!" Madam Mo said laughing as she poked Bao Bao and Bei Bei’s heads, "You are not allowed to trick Little Gold next time."

Although Madam Mo was old, she was not confused; she obviously knew that what happened just now was related to Bao Bao and Bei Bei.

She also saw through Little Gold’s tricks.

Because she saw through Little Gold’s tricks, that’s why Madam Mo didn’t expose Bao Bao and Bei Bei’s lies, but went along with Little Gold’s narrative.

It seems now that Little Gold isn’t as naive as he appears on the surface; this child, though young, harbors no small ambitions, and at such a tender age, he already knows how to scheme. Did he really think her two grandsons would take that lying down?

"Grandma, wasn’t it fun just now?" Bao Bao laughed so hard he couldn’t straighten his back.

"Enough, enough, stop laughing," Madam Mo said, holding Bao Bao and Bei Bei’s hands and speaking with a smile, "Bao Bao and Bei Bei, Little Gold, you see, he’s not like you; he has been without a father since he was little, if in the future he doesn’t provoke you, then don’t provoke him. After all, he won’t be staying here for many more days."

"No father?" Bei Bei looked at Madam Mo, a fleeting look of pity in her eyes, "Then he’s really pitiful, grandma, where is his father?"

Bei Bei, kind-hearted since childhood, instantly regretted her actions just now upon hearing that Little Gold had no father.

A child without a father is the most pitiable.

Bei Bei’s big eyes turned red.

Madam Mo sighed, "His father left him when he was very young, so, if possible, let him have his way from time to time; he’s a pitiful child too."

"Okay, grandma, I understand." Bei Bei nodded her head considerately.

Bao Bao puffed up his cheeks, and then said, "Grandma, although he is quite pitiful, having no father can’t be his capital to bully others. If he doesn’t bully me, that’s fine. If he bullies me and my sister, I will certainly fight back." Bao Bao is a very calm baby, and in temperament, he’s more like Mo Zhixuan.

Bei Bei is a throwback, with a brain like Chu Jin and a temperament a bit like Madam Mo.

Kindness, that’s her greatest weakness.

Madam Mo nodded, "Naturally, the grandchildren of the Mo family must not be bullied by others."

Bao Bao and Bei Bei are the darlings of Madam Mo’s heart, of course, she wouldn’t allow others to bully them.

At the roadside bakery.

Duanmu Sheng sat in her office, opposite her were Lin Hong and his wife, Lin Lan.

The assistant brought three cups of hot tea to the three of them, and the rising steam seemed to create a barrier between their gazes.

Duanmu Sheng took a sip of her tea, then spoke with a brimming smile, "Aunt and uncle, please have some tea."

"We’re not thirsty, Sheng Sheng, no need to be so polite. Actually, the reason we came here was to discuss something with you," Lin Lan said softly, a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

Duanmu Sheng smiled faintly, "Aunt and uncle, I’ve been raised under your watchful eyes since I was little, whatever it is, just speak to me directly."

Duanmu Sheng could tell that Lin Hong and Lin Lan had something serious to say.

"Sheng Sheng, take a look at this first." Lin Lan handed a document to Duanmu Sheng.
