205 The Battle Begins

She still had to go back to her hometown as usual.

She didn’t need to visit Huang Qing’s place. This time, she was going back to Liang Wen’s house. After returning home, Chuchu felt much better. She didn’t have to worry about Xiao Yi stealing her limelight. They were good friends.

Chuchu even prepared a New Year gift for Xiao Yi. It was a whole set of Chinese and foreign fairy tales. She read it once and found it interesting. If Xiao Yi didn’t read books often, it would be less fun. After thinking for a while, Chuchu still decided to give this set of books to Xiao Yi. This way, the two of them might have more things in common.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi has prepared a New Year’s gift for Chuchu. It was a pair of furry brown gloves. Xiao Yi had a pair of pink gloves on his hands, which were exactly the same as the one he gave to Chuchu.

Good friends should have many things that were exactly the same. Chuchu understood Xiao Yi’s meaning. She was so touched that tears were about to fall.

However, she still held back her tears and tried her best to act mature. She straightened her back and gave Xiao Yi a big hug. After that, they looked at each other, not knowing what to say to their new friend.

The two of them held their gifts and giggled.

In fact, it wasn’t difficult to turn hostility into friendship.

The difficult part was the adults’ thoughts.

Liang Jie saw that the two children were getting along, and she was secretly happy. Last year, Qu Zhi didn’t give them anything. This year, seeing both children were good friends, she should at least show her gratitude, right?

Liang Jie pulled Xiao Yi, who was reading a book with Chuchu, out of the room and slapped the back of her head. “Aiya, stupid child! You don’t even want the money, go to your Aunt and ask for New Year’s money!”

Xiao Yi was a little confused by the slap. She turned around with tears in his eyes. “Why, Mom? We agreed to ask for it during dinner. Why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden?” The slap was so hard that it hurt Xiao Yi, but she didn’t know what she had done wrong.

In fact, Liang Jie saw that Chuchu and Sisi were dressed too well, and her heart felt unbalanced.

The two children in their family live more comfortably. Why couldn’t they take out such a small amount of New Year’s money? Did she just want to see her not living well? Did she just want to live a better life than her? Coupled with Qu Zhi’s high and mighty attitude, Liang Jie was getting angrier and more indignant.

However, she had no other choice and didn’t dare to vent her anger on Qu Zhi! Qu Zhi was now a Big Boss, and Liang Wen didn’t even dare to speak loudly in front of her. If she were to anger her, she probably wouldn’t end well.

She couldn’t bear to vent her anger on Liang Wen. This was her younger brother, so she couldn’t scold him.

It was not a good idea to vent her anger on Liang Chu. Now that Liang Chu was the most popular person in the Liang family, Liang De seemed to have started to dote on her as well. Liang Jie didn’t dare to lay a hand on Liang Chu, so she could only vent all her anger on Xiao Yi.

At that time, Xiao Yi was engrossed in the movie. She was sitting side by side with Chuchu and was giggling shoulder to shoulder. Liang Jie only felt she was laughing at herself. For a moment, Liang Jie felt that her child was selfish and stupid. She had to grovel to her knee to raise a useless idiot and was slapped without even using any force.

Xiao Yi stood on the spot and cried for a while, but Chuchu, who was beside her, heard everything clearly. After hesitating for a moment, she ran over to Qu Zhi and whispered in her ear, “Mom, can you give me my red packet money?”

Qu Zhi found her serious look adorable and mimicked her in reply, “Sure, what do you want to do? Are you willing to tell me?”

Chuchu then told Qu Zhi everything. She looked at her mother and sighed. “I want to give all the money to Xiao Yi.”

Qu Zhi patted Chuchu’s head. no need. “This is an adult’s matter. Mommy will settle it.”

She had never expected Liang Jie would be so crazy as to vent her anger on a child.

She had been thinking about the details of the press conference after returning to Jiang City, but now she knew she had to put those things aside.

There was still a battle before the press conference.

This battle was not for herself, but for the children.
