Chapter 197: Chapter 196: The Hair Hasn’t Grown Out Yet

In the Su Family Reception Hall, one could only hear the cries of a child.

The butler and bodyguards looked straight ahead, pretending not to notice the drama unfolding.

They were long-serving members of the Su Family and certainly knew the character of their masters; when Old Lady Su said to drive someone out, it was merely to scare them, not yet a sign of genuine anger.

If she were truly angry, she would have treated the Lin sisters the same way, directly telling them to get out.

Lu You slapped his son twice, and seeing his son crying heartbrokenly, he stopped but then, observing the faces of the Su Family members and noticing they weren’t even looking his way, he thought they felt the punishment wasn’t enough and quickly added a few more hits.

These hits were louder and heavier; Lu Chen’s delicate buttocks swelled up significantly.

Su Chaoyu and Su Chaoyang saw this and felt extremely satisfied. They smugly made faces at Lu Chen and continued to look at their mother.

Their earlier excitement had passed, and the two little guys looked closely at their mother for a while before saying with curiosity, "Mommy, didn’t you have enough to eat? You look like you’re very hungry."

"And your face, why is one side higher than the other?"

What the brothers were trying to express was that Lu Xuan had lost weight, and her face was swollen. But with their limited vocabulary, they were not able to express themselves accurately.

Su Chenyi understood what his sons meant, and in fact, he also wanted to ask.

It wasn’t that he was holding on to old feelings; he was simply curious.

When Lu Xuan left the Su Family, she had been full of indignation, accusing him of only caring about painting, not being a qualified husband and father, and certainly not a qualified son.

If he were a qualified son, he should leave his parents and brothers, completely leave the family, and make a name for himself outside.

Lu Xuan also said that she was an excellent dancer, and whether domestically or abroad, she could easily carve out a career for herself and would never step foot in the Su Family again.

So why was she back now? And why did she look so haggard?

As Su Chenyi pondered, Lu Xuan softly answered the two children, "Mommy is okay, just not in the mood to eat. Have you two eaten properly?"

"Yes, yes, we’ve been very behaved," the twins replied in unison, glanced at the others in the Reception Hall, and took advantage of Lu Chen’s crying to ask Old Lady Su, "Granny, can we take mommy to meet Little Auntie?"

They wanted their mother to meet Little Auntie too!

Old Lady Su shook her head in refusal, "I told you earlier that Little Auntie is doing very important work, and no one should disturb her, understand?"

Su Chaoyu felt very upset.

He really wanted his mother to meet Little Auntie!

As Su Chaoyu was feeling disappointed, he suddenly heard Mianmian’s voice.

"Why is a child being hit here?"

The adorable little bald head stood next to the back door of the Reception Hall, her big eyes filled with confusion.

Su Chaoyu was overjoyed, "Little Auntie, you’re here! Come over, this is our mommy! My mom’s name is Lu Xuan, isn’t she beautiful?"

Su Chaoyang also joined his brother, saying, "Little Auntie, our mommy only has us two kids. I heard from grandpa and grandma that your mommy is sleeping, so we can share our mommy with you, and then you’ll have a mommy too!"

Su Chaoyu also thought this was a good idea.

Little Auntie didn’t have a mommy, but they did, so it was perfect to share their mommy with Little Auntie, then she wouldn’t have to miss her mommy!

So he followed his brother in persuading Mianmian, "Little Auntie, our mommy can really dance, she’s super good at the swan dance, you’ll definitely like it."

Mianmian was a bit bewildered by her two great-nephews’ enthusiasm.

She was pulled in front of Lu Xuan and came face to face with her.

Mianmian had grown accustomed to only recognizing the past in the new people she met, not the future. So she didn’t think about why and just greeted Lu Xuan cordially, "Hello, um, my great-niece-in-law? I’m Su Mianmian, Chaoyu and Chaoyang’s Little Auntie."

Lu Xuan had just returned to the country when she heard from her parents and brother about the new "Little Auntie" in the Su Family. She assumed it was an adult, only to find upon seeing her that it was a bald toddler, her expression one of shock.

"Ah, hello, Little Auntie, I’m Lu Xuan."

After Mianmian greeted Lu Xuan, she looked at the other people present.

Well, apart from Lu Xuan, the faces of the Lu Family members all broadcasted that they were unpleasant scoundrels. But as a generous elder, she couldn’t be too petty. A brief greeting would suffice, "Hello there~ Good morning~ The weather is lovely today."

Having said her piece, Mianmian had no desire to chat further and quickly averted her gaze.

Old Lady Lu was just about to exchange a few words with this legendary elder from the Su Family when she saw the bald child turn her head away, plunging her into an awkward situation.

It seemed that none of the Su Family had any manners; this Mianmian who appeared out of nowhere was even worse, so repulsive!

Over there, Lu You was still sporadically slapping his son Lu Chen, albeit with much less force. He had no choice; he intended for his son to be disciplined a bit to appease the Su Family, thinking that they were renowned for their kind hearts and wouldn’t bear to see a child smacked too many times.

But to his astonishment, the Su Family elders didn’t care at all, leaving him no choice but to keep up his act of punishing his son.

Now that the main event, Su Mianmian, had arrived, Lu You quickly found an excuse, "Son, hurry, go call your great-auntie, and give her your gift."

He took the beautifully wrapped box and handed it to his son. Fearing the valuable gift inside might be damaged, he assisted by holding it himself and led his son, who was crying a mess, to Mianmian’s side.

Mianmian glanced at Lu Chen and noticed she could foresee his fate, blinking in confusion. Lu Chen would grow up to be a big liar, arrested by policeman.

But of what use was seeing this?

Mianmian didn’t dwell on Lu Chen any longer and instead turned to Lu You, her little head churning with thoughts, conjuring a way to reject the gift from the undesirable family.

"Mianmian isn’t celebrating her birthday today, so there’s no need for gifts."

Lu You had feared Mianmian’s refusal, so he’d prepared a response in advance, smiling as he said, "I’ve seen your live-streams before, You looked especially elegant in that crown, and it suited you so well. So I had a designer rush to make another one, this time with South African blue diamonds, a different color from the silver ones you had before. Let me open it and put it on for you... huh?"

Lu You’s voice came to an abrupt stop.

He stared, speechless, at Mianmian’s smooth bald head, now at a loss for words.

A crown is something that needs to be affixed to hair.

Yet here was Su Mianmian, a child with not a single strand on her head, and he had foolishly talked about placing a crown on her as if he were a fool.

This was absurd.

Why on earth would the Su Family let a girl have a shaved head? Could it be they knew he was bringing such an expensive gift and deliberately didn’t want to accept it?

Mianmian, oblivious to the wild thoughts of the man in front of her, touched her smooth scalp, "Sorry, but if it’s a crown, then Mianmian needs it even less. My hair hasn’t grown back yet."

What else could Lu You say?

Lu You could only offer an awkward smile, just as bewildered by the situation.

If the gift wasn’t suitable, then this approach was a dead end, wasn’t it?

Desperate for a remedy, Lu You apologized, "My apologies, Little Auntie. I wasn’t aware you’d lost your hair. The gift was ill-prepared. Next time, I’ll bring you a better one."

No sooner had Lu You finished his flattering apology than the boy he was holding, Lu Chen, suddenly swiped viciously at Mianmian.
