Chapter 618: Chapter 616: What Are You Up To_1

"Can we be blamed for this? I already said that Xia Ningxing was cheating!" Ning Mo could act and endure, but Ning Xiaoyou couldn’t bear it for a moment and immediately started arguing with them.

Anyway, she absolutely refused to admit that Xia Ningxing won by merit.

"You say she cheated just because you say so? Where’s the evidence?" The elder, upon hearing a junior dare to talk back to him, became quite angry.

The reason he said this wasn’t actually to defend Xia Ningxing, but rather hoping she could produce evidence to confront Xia Ningxing directly instead of just talking nonsense.

Just as Ning Xiaoyou was about to retort with a few more words, someone couldn’t bear it any longer, slammed the table, and scolded the messy situation:

"Enough! What time is it, and you’re still fighting amongst ourselves!"

Stopped, Ning Xiaoyou and the elder snorted coldly at each other and finally stopped bickering.

Someone else said, "What we should be thinking about now is how to stop Xia Ningxing from becoming the Ning Family’s Family Head!"

"But what can we do?"

"How about we just focus on the cheating accusation?"

"But we have no evidence either, how can we prove that her achievements came from cheating?"

"If there isn’t any evidence, can’t we just create some?"

Everyone thought of this simultaneously, then huddled together, whispering and starting to scheme.

Xia Ningxing was still celebrating, unaware of what was happening for the time being.

At the dining table, Chuanchuan stared at the dishes spread across the table, then looked at the dull and boring baby food in front of him, and suddenly lost his appetite, eyes fixated on the dishes.

Only to see his large, round eyes glancing left and right, then taking advantage of the moment Xia Ningxing, Lu Tingli, and Mrs. Xia Ning weren’t paying attention, he swiftly reached out his little claw to steal a drumstick to taste.

Hiss!

It smells so good!

It must taste delicious!

The one-year-old Chuanchuan, who had never eaten a drumstick before, was salivating profusely.

Finally!

The little hands grasped the drumstick!

Wow!

Chuanchuan’s heart throbbed with excitement, his eyes gleaming.

He quickly grabbed the drumstick and was about to stuff it into his small mouth, almost tasting it, when unexpectedly...

A "snap" was heard.

It was Lu Tingli slapping the table.

Following this, the little one heard Lu Tingli’s cold and authoritative voice from above his head: "What are you doing? Trying to steal a bite?"

Caught red-handed, Chuanchuan was immediately stunned.

The drumstick, now at his lips, was neither to be eaten nor put down.

Facing his own father’s intimidating gaze, Chuanchuan instinctively shook his head and gulped, "No... didn’t steal... for Mommy..."

Only to see the little guy, clever as ever, looking up with his pair of clear, black grape-like eyes, and swiftly placing the drumstick into Xia Ningxing’s bowl, making it seem as if that was what he meant to do all along.

Xia Ningxing: "..."

Lu Tingli: "..."

Mrs. Xia Ning: "..."

This is way too cunning!

If Xia Ningxing hadn’t been certain that the child hadn’t been possessed by someone else, she would’ve doubted that he was the original person.

Xia Ningxing felt helplessly amused in the moment as she stroked his little fluffy head, "Chuanchuan, it’s not that Daddy and Mommy won’t let you eat, but these things aren’t suitable for you right now. They are too greasy and your stomach can’t handle it."

"I... I understand, Mommy!" The little guy nodded, stammering out a milky reply.

Perhaps because he had just been caught red-handed stealing food, the little guy, although very tempted, still tried hard to restrain himself and didn’t engage in any further sneaking of food.

"Family Head, would you like a drink?" At that moment, a maid came forward with freshly squeezed fruit juice, respectfully asking.

"Pour some," Mrs. Xia Ning nodded. Seeing Chuanchuan staring eagerly at the bottle of blueberry juice, she smiled kindly and then told the maid who was pouring the juice, "Pour some for the little one too."

The juice was all naturally made without additives, rich in nutrients, so even a small child like Chuanchuan could drink a little.

"Yes," the maid responded. After pouring for Mrs. Xia Ning, she went to pour a tiny bit for the little guy.

Although it was just a spoonful or two, it was enough to make Chuanchuan happy for half a day.

After all, he had lived for a year and it was the first time he had tasted something other than breast milk, formula milk, and rice soup. How could he not be happy!

Ah, truly too humble!

The little guy stared at the juice in the cup, not daring to drink it, just tasting the flavor a little bit at a time with his tiny mouth.

This was about to melt the hearts of everyone present.

Even though Lu Tingli still had a poker face, his heart had already softened like he had stuffed a rabbit inside.

After pouring for the little guy, the maid came up to Xia Ningxing, but somehow she lost her balance and the juice from her hand spilled straight onto Xia Ningxing’s head.

Nobody expected that pouring a juice could lead to an accident, and because they were so close, Xia Ningxing inevitably suffered a mishap.

Splash!

Almost all the remaining juice from the bottle poured onto Xia Ningxing’s head.

"What are you doing?" A sudden splash of the cool liquid made Xia Ningxing exclaim in shock.

At that moment, her hair, which had been as smooth as silk, was drenched everywhere, and now "drip, drip, dripping" down.

Moreover, because the juice was sticky, a lot of her hair stuck together in clumps, and there were also blueberry seeds and skin floating on it, looking truly disheveled.

"Mommy!" Chuanchuan cried out in alarm, trying to climb out of the high chair, but the chair had safety measures, which he simply couldn’t undo.

"Chuanchuan, were you scared? Mommy is okay." Even though her hair felt sticky and uncomfortable, seeing that the little guy seemed frightened, she didn’t care about the discomfort on her head, quickly lifted her face, and forced out a smile to comfort him.

It didn’t matter that she got doused, but she couldn’t let the little guy be scared.

You see, children are fragile, and sometimes a slight scare could result in a fever that lasts for days.

Chuanchuan, seeing his mother like this and still so concerned about him, quickly shook his head, "Mommy, I’m okay, not, not scared!"

Seeing this, Xia Ningxing nodded in relief.

It’s good that he wasn’t scared.

Otherwise, she might not have been able to resist strangling the maid.

"What are you even doing!" Lu Tingli grimaced angrily, reprimanding the maid and going over to Xia Ningxing with a clean towel handed to him by a guard to wipe her hair.

"What’s going on here, can’t you even pour a drink? Are you disabled?" Mrs. Xia Ning stood up angrily, pointing at the maid, "I’m telling you, if you scare my Chuanchuan into any harm, I won’t let you off the hook!"

The maid, trembling with fear, kept bowing and begging for mercy, "I’m sorry, Family Head, I’m sorry, Miss Xia, I’m sorry, Young Master Chuanchuan, I didn’t do it on purpose, please don’t punish me, I really know I was wrong."
