Chapter 578: Chapter 578

He knew he was about to be abandoned, it was always . This wasn’t the first time, adults were just ; once they used someone up, that person immediately became a burden.

He told himself not to be sad in his heart; after all, he was used to it. Although this time he could enjoy being cared for like a son, with warmth and safety, he ultimately wasn’t their biological son.

They had their own biological son, and if it weren’t for their own son, how could he be here? He was nothing more than a stand-in.

Now that he finished the work he was supposed to do, he should leave honestly. At least they let him have a full meal.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head, holding his small hand, "Get in the car, what’s your name? Since you’re becoming my son, you’ll be my son from now on. Since you don’t have parents, let me be your mother."

She picked up the little chubby boy and put him on the seat.

The little chubby boy raised his little face proudly. He tried hard to suppress his desire to break down, keeping a straight face, "My name is Little Douya. Do you really want to be my mother? Being my mother means being it for a lifetime; adults just love to say one thing and mean another."

That expression made it look like he didn’t care who was going to be his mother.

But in his heart, he was very nervous. His eyes were fixed on Jiang Xiaoxiao’s expression, fearing that she’d suddenly change her mind.

Jiang Xiaoxiao patted his head, "You’re so round, how can you look like a Little Douya? From now on, let’s change your name to Little Baozi. I think Baozi is better than Douya. Look at you, with your chubby build, how can you still be called Little Douya?"

Little Douya looked at himself. Indeed, to be someone’s stand-in, that man fed him a lot of good food.

And the result of eating with abandon was indeed making himself round .

Baozi it is then. Baozi is better than Douya anyway. His favorite is big meat baozi; being called Baozi is quite good.

But the woman in front of him hadn’t said yet if she’d be his mother for life.

He just knew adults were so good at lying.

"I don’t want you to be my mother at all! You’re not my birth mother anyway."

If he didn’t desire it, he wouldn’t be sad. He didn’t want any mother.

What use is a mother, anyway?

Those mothers would always, in the name of love, appear to outsiders as the best mothers in the world, so gentle and kind, but behind closed doors, they were bad and mean, not giving him food, even locking him in a dark room, some even hit him.

He didn’t want a mother at all.

Jiang Xiaoxiao chuckled, her laughter provoking Baozi’s displeasure.

With accusing little eyes, he glared at Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Song Moting gave him a pat on the back of the head.

"Hey, kid, you already learned to glare at your mom! Let me tell you, being my son means you have to follow rules, have to respect your elders."

Baozi looked at Song Moting with resentment, but he knew this man was very powerful.

He couldn’t beat him.

He saw first-hand how this man brought them out, knowing full well that he could only submit to someone .

Hmph! Just bullying children; when he grows up, he’ll definitely grow strong enough to slap this man ten times for his one pat on the head.

Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others got in the car.

Old Mrs. Song, Old Sir Song brought Tang Yuan, and Bai Yiyi was already standing at the door, having received the news early. As soon as they heard the noise, they opened the door.

Seeing the couple, tears rolled down the old couple’s faces, never expecting that their grandson had nearly faced doom.

Old Sir Song’s sharp eyes studied Song Moting, relieved in his heart, glad he was unscathed.

After getting in the car, Jiang Xiaoxiao gave Song Moting some peach juice, and the small injuries on his body had already healed.

"Come in quickly, come in quickly, you’ve suffered enough, hurry in. Auntie made a whole table of good food for you."

Old Mrs. Song hurriedly wiped away her tears.

As one grows old, they become more and more emotional.

Tang Yuan dashed into Jiang Xiaoxiao’s embrace, his small body clinging tightly, with chubby little arms wrapping around her neck, his soft little cheeks pressed against her face.

Soft and warm breaths brushed against Jiang Xiaoxiao’s ear.

"Mama, Mama, where did you go? Tang Yuan couldn’t find you, neither you nor daddy were here, Tang Yuan missed you both so much."

Jiang Xiaoxiao hugged him tightly, kissing his little cheek, making him laugh gleefully.

"Mama and daddy missed Tang Yuan too. We rushed back right after finishing things up. Mama missed Tang Yuan."

The mother and son touched foreheads, laughing together.

Seeing this, Baozi was deeply envious. This was the child of that mother; he was just the one suffering in his place.

Jealousy ignited a fierce anger within him.

Old Mrs. Song pulled Jiang Xiaoxiao down onto the sofa, checking her over, while Song Moting recounted some things to the old lady that could be told.

Bai Yiyi hugged Jiang Xiaoxiao, reluctant to part. She could already understand adult words.

For the past few days, grandpa and grandma couldn’t eat or sleep well because little sister and brother-in-law had an accident.

She’d be sad even when taking care of Tang Yuan.

She was five when she lost her grandparents, but Tang Yuan was only two, maybe he wouldn’t even remember his parents.

This would be the most tragic thing in the world.

Now that her sister was recovered, she felt a bit uneasy.

Afraid her sister and brother-in-law would once again go on dangerous endeavors.

The adult world is very complicated, how could sister and brother-in-law encounter so many bad people?

Bai Yiyi decided she would have to become strong to protect her sister and Tang Yuan.
