Mr. Xie, please respect yourself! I am your grandfather's ancestor.

Ten minutes later, Ye Qing and Chu Ruoyun, who had received their milk tea, took Si Tong straight to a mobile phone store on the fourth floor and bought her the latest model and the best-configured mobile phone, and also bought her a newly launched tablet computer.

After buying these things, Ye Qing and Chu Ruoyun took Si Tong to a restaurant outside for lunch.

Because they were worried that Si Tong might not be able to get used to Western food, the two chose a nearby Chinese restaurant with a nice environment.

After entering the restaurant and turning the corner, a little girl of about seven or eight years old bumped into me.

Si Tong reacted quickly and supported the little girl.

"Lingling? Why are you here? Where is your mother?" Chu Ruoyun asked in surprise.

"Aunt! Mom, Dad and I are having dinner here. My little sister said she wanted to go to the bathroom, so Mom and Dad accompanied her to the bathroom!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ruoyun frowned. Wouldn't it be fine if someone could accompany her to the bathroom? What if Lingling ran away alone?

But she didn't say this in front of the child. Instead, she turned to Ye Qing and said, "Sister-in-law, take Si Tong to the private room first. I'll stay with Ling Ling for a while."

Ye Qing glanced at Lingling, then nodded and left with Si Tong.

Si Tong followed Ye Qing, but after taking only two steps, she turned back to glance at the little girl in Chu Ruoyun's arms.

She sighed silently, feeling sorry for the little girl who had to live with such a family and even had to pay for her parents' stupidity.

Seeing her looking at the little girl, Ye Qing explained, "That's Ruoyun's niece, her name is Shan Ling, she's seven and a half years old this year, very cute, isn't she?"

Her tone was a little melancholy, but she didn't say much. She was born into a scholarly family and her upbringing was ingrained in her bones. She would never talk about other people's family affairs behind their backs.

Of course Si Tong knew why she spoke in such a tone, it was just that she felt sorry for the little girl.

This is also what she noticed when she saw Chu Ruoyun for the first time today.

Born in a family that favors boys over girls, Chu Ruoyun has two brothers, one boy and one girl, and she has a younger sister and a younger brother.

Since childhood, she and her sister have been instilled with the idea that boys are the best and that only those who give birth to boys are superior.

It’s just that Chu Ruoyun has more independent ideas than her sister. She doesn’t think that her parents’ ideas are right just because of their indoctrination. Her sister is timid and submissive, so she is not as firm as she is.

They are all your own children, do you feel pain?

The answer is definitely, it hurts.

But if her sister were to choose one, she would definitely choose her son without hesitation.

Si Tong had seen too many of these things every time he went down the mountain to lead his disciples for training.

After retracting their gaze, Si Tong and Ye Qing were led by the waiter to the innermost private room.

After waiting in the hall outside for a long time, Chu Ruoyun finally waited for her brother-in-law Shan Chengxu to come out to look for her child.

Seeing his daughter standing with Chu Ruoyun, he hurried forward and flattered, "Sister? What a coincidence, you're here to eat too? Which box are you and your friends in? Tell me the box number and your brother-in-law will pay for you later."

Chu Ruoyun didn't have much affection for her brother-in-law, but for the sake of her sister, she still pretended to be nice to him.

She declined him politely, "No, thank you for your kindness, brother-in-law. Now that you are out, Lingling is in your care. Don't leave her alone in the future. What if she gets lost?"

"Well, she's so old now. Besides, there are surveillance cameras everywhere here, so she can't get lost." Shan Chengxu said what was in his mind subconsciously.

But he regretted it right after he said it. To save his image, he quickly said to Lingling, "Lingling, Daddy has been looking for you for a long time. Didn't I just hold your hand? How can you let go of Daddy's hand?"

Shan Ling tilted his little head, somewhat confused and frightened.

When did her dad hold her hand? Didn’t their little brother ask them to accompany him to the toilet before he would pee, so did they all go to the toilet with him?

They ignored her at that time.

But she didn't dare to say that her father lied, otherwise her father would become very fierce and beat her.

Chu Ruoyun sneered and did not expose him in person. It's not like she had not tried to persuade her sister's family before, but her sister was an old woman who had a child, so she always brought out her mother's tricks.

Over time, she stopped trying to persuade him, because it was someone else's family affair after all.

The most important thing is that they have never abused Shan Ling, so she has no right to bring Shan Ling to her side and raise him.

But every time Chu Ruoyun saw their indifferent attitude towards Shan Ling, she felt distressed and angry.

What?

There's nothing I can do.

Chu Ruoyun had no intention of waiting for her sister, so she just said something to Shan Chengxu and left.

Shan Chengxu watched Chu Ruoyun disappear around the corner with a smile, then the smile on his face disappeared in an instant and he turned to look at Shan Ling with an unfriendly look.

Shan Ling looked at him and quietly took two steps back.

In the private room, Ye Qing knew her best friend's taste, so she ordered the dishes directly.

Si Tong supported his chin with both hands and looked out the window.

The rainy season is about to begin, and the sky outside is not very sunny.

It's normal to have thunder in such a weather...

If someone else is unlucky enough to be struck by lightning, it should be understandable.

Well, this way the little girl won’t get beaten today.

But, that life-changing incident a month later...sigh.

Chu Ruoyun adjusted her mood at the door of the box and then entered the box.

"Have you finished ordering? Where are we going later? Do you want to go shopping again?"

Si Tong raised his eyebrows and pointed outside, "It will rain soon, wait for the thunder to strike... Let's go back after the rain stops."

Ye Qing looked outside and said, "It is indeed cloudy today, but judging by the rain, it won't rain for a while."

Chu Ruoyun glanced at the weather forecast on her phone. "The weather forecast shows that it won't rain until after 8pm."

Si Tong curled the corners of his lips and said nothing more, his fingers moving intermittently.

The dishes were served quickly, and just as a few people started to eat, there was a loud thunder outside.

There was only one sound, and then it started to rain lightly.

The rain didn't last too long, only about half an hour.

When Si Tong and her two companions finished their meal and went to pay the bill, they heard a waiter whispering in the corridor that a customer had just been struck by lightning when he went outside to get snacks for his son!
