"What should we do then? I only know how to boil water," Xiaoxiao shrugged, her large eyes filled with helplessness.
She really couldn't cook! And Ding Ding was even worse, he couldn't even recognize a potato!
"You fool," Coco patted her head. "From now on, learn from your brother. Otherwise, when you grow up, you won't be able to find a husband."
"Okay, big brother," Xiaoxiao looked at him with admiration, her smile beaming.
Meanwhile, Ding Ding sat on the sofa, his head lowered in silence.
Coco's return meant that he had to go back to that home.
But he didn't want to go back.
In these few days, he had searched online and learned that he and Coco were biological siblings, and Shen Ning was his actual mother.
He had only spent a few days with his biological mother, and he didn't want to leave her.
"Brother," Coco walked over and patted Ding Ding's shoulder. "We're all family. If you have any troubles, talk to me. I'll help you."
Coco consoled Ding Ding like a wise little adult.
Having stayed at the Li Manor for three days, he understood Ding Ding's current feelings and sympathized with him.
A child without a mother was like a rootless plant, but Ding Ding's situation was even more complicated. Not only did he lack a mother, but he also had a wicked stepmother. There were no words to describe it.
After a moment of silence, Ding Ding nodded.
Later, Coco turned on the computer.
The three little heads crowded together.
"She's so ugly, that ugly witch," Xiaoxiao commented as she looked at the pictures of Shen Mei posing on the computer, sticking out her tongue in disgust.
"She's so cruel and never cares about Ding Ding," Coco nodded. "She's the one who hit our mommy. But I kind of got revenge for mommy."
Coco recounted his experiences, and even Ding Ding looked at him with admiration, nodding in agreement.
The three little heads leaned in closer, huddled together, and spent quite some time discussing. Finally, Coco entered Shen Ning's phone number into the computer.
After a while, a location tracker on the computer revealed an address.
Coco smiled. It was the address where mommy worked now.
This afternoon, he would go and pick mommy up from work, giving her a surprise.
In the living room of the Shen family...
"Mom, what should I do? That wicked woman, Shen Ning, has returned," Shen Mei collapsed onto the sofa as soon as she arrived home, tears streaming down her face, pounding the sofa as she wailed loudly.
"Oh, my precious daughter, what happened? Tell Mom, which wicked woman has returned?" Lan Feiyun rushed over, comforting her beloved daughter and gently stroking her head, her heart filled with concern.
"Mom, Shen Ning has returned."
"Shen Ning?" Lan Feiyun looked at her in disbelief. "Didn't she die from childbirth six years ago at the hospital?"
"No, she didn't die at all. We were all deceived by that nurse."
Shen Mei wept, tears flowing as she gritted her teeth.
"Not only is she alive and well, but she has also become a renowned perfumer in the United States. As soon as she returned to Guqi, she seized half of the company's shares. Now Zhenting trusts her a lot. Mom, what should I do?"
Lan Feiyun stood there, her eyes wide with shock, unable to find the words to respond.
"What are you afraid of? Zhenting has promised to marry you, and besides, you have Ding Ding and Lan Lan. Shen Ning is all alone. Surely Zhenting wouldn't abandon you and choose her over you?" After a moment, she comforted Shen Mei with confidence.
Thank goodness they had kept Ding Ding back then. It prevented the Li family from suspecting Shen Mei.
Shen Mei straightened up.
"Mom, what I'm most afraid of now is Shen Ning's relationship with Ding Ding. If Zheng Zhenting finds out, I'm done for. And you know, Lan Lan isn't Zheng Zhenting's child." She spoke with trembling fear.
Lan Feiyun's face darkened with concern.
