The CEO's Paranoid and Spoiled Wife
Chapter 554 - 553: Speechless

Chapter 554: Chapter 553: Speechless

Zhao Zhenzhen was still crying, having become trapped in her own emotions.

It was not good for a child to keep crying continuously, and Zhang Xuehan, despite disliking Zhao Yingling, turned back to her and said, "Go and comfort her."

Children are naturally reliant on the people close to them; a mother’s comfort can somewhat be effective.

Zhao Yingling, after staring at Zhang Xuehan for a few seconds, finally snapped back to reality, "Oh, right."

She hurried over to embrace Zhao Zhenzhen, "Stop crying, stop crying..."

Zhao Zhenzhen, hugging Zhao Yingling, cried bitterly, but the sobbing gradually grew weaker.

Everyone was in the living room until Zhao Zhenzhen calmed down, and then Zhang Xuehan approached, squatting in front of Zhao Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, Brother Xiao Yu pushing you today was wrong. Should I ask him to come over and apologize to you?"

"No..."

As soon as Zhao Yingling started to speak, she was silenced by a stern look from Zhang Xuehan. Once Zhao Yingling stopped talking, Zhang Xuehan turned to call Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu was obedient and walked over to Zhang Xuehan, looking at Zhao Zhenzhen whose eyes were swollen from crying, and sniffled, "I’m sorry, Zhenzhen, I didn’t mean to make you fall."

He just wanted her to stop bullying Zhouzhou.

Zhao Zhenzhen hid in Zhao Yingling’s arms, ignoring Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu glanced at Zhang Xuehan and pouted as if he was about to cry again.

Zhang Xuehan patted his head to signal that it was okay.

It was only much later that the atmosphere in the living room gradually began to ease.

However, Zhao Yingling did not bring Zhao Zhenzhen over to apologize to Zhouzhou; she lay in Zhao Yingling’s arms as if she had fallen asleep.

Finally, Su Tong said, "You take Zhenzhen up to rest; we will keep cooking. You can come down once the food is ready."

Zhao Yingling hesitated until she saw Zhang Xuehan’s impatient expression, and then she agreed.

After Zhao Yingling carried Zhao Zhenzhen upstairs, Zhang Xuehan let out a long sigh and went to sit on the couch. Xiao Yu was not as lively as usual but followed Zhang Xuehan like a Little Weiba.

"It’s okay now, don’t be afraid," Zhang Xuehan said, comforting him as she picked him up.

Xiao Yu nestled in Zhang Xuehan’s arms, speaking softly, "Mom, I didn’t do it on purpose. I just pulled her a bit, and then she fell down."

"It’s alright, mom knows you didn’t do it on purpose, and we’ve apologized to Zhenzhen already. But you can’t do that again next time, got it?"

"Yeah, I got it."

...

After the meal was finished, Zhao Yingling came down from upstairs, and Su Tong glanced at her, "How is Zhenzhen doing?"

"She’s fine; she’s already asleep," Zhao Yingling answered and then adopted an indifferent expression, "She’s just a scaredy-cat who also loves to cry."

Upon hearing these words, Zhang Xuehan felt a surge of inexplicable anger welling up inside her. She couldn’t understand how her own child could cry like that, yet Zhao Yingling could speak so dismissively.

But ultimately Zhang Xuehan didn’t say anything. Not only did Zhang Xuehan stay quiet, but so did Ye Wanwan and Su Tong.

The group finished their meal in quiet, then cleaned up simply before going back to their respective rooms.

At night.

The live stream had already been turned off, Zhouzhou was asleep, Ye Wanwan lay in bed with her phone in hand, looking at the screen at Shen Yi, "I feel quite speechless about the situation now."
