Chapter 1182: Chapter 1224: Heart-to-Heart Conversation

Seeing Ling Yueyue unabashedly praising herself like that, Huo Jiantian pursed his lips and said mercilessly, "I’ve seen shameless people, but never someone as shameless as you! You really have thick skin! Did I ever say you were excellent? It’s just because they’re so detestable and extreme, that’s why you stand out! Hmph...!" While speaking, he didn’t forget to give a big snort from his nostrils, tilting his head arrogantly, refusing to look at Ling Yueyue.

Seeing him finally regain some of his former playful and cute demeanor, Ling Yueyue breathed a slight sigh of relief, feeling somewhat comforted in her heart.

Seeing Ling Yueyue silent, Huo Jiantian turned his head to look at her, puzzledly asking, "If they aren’t your biological parents, then who are your real parents? How do you know they aren’t your real mom and dad?"

In his questioning, there was slight confusion, but more concern.

Ling Yueyue didn’t hide it and spoke directly, "You’ve met my biological mom too, she’s Tiantian’s grandaunt, my aunt!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Jiantian widened his already large eyes in disbelief at Ling Yueyue, "Tiantian’s grandaunt, your aunt? How could she be your biological mother? Isn’t she your stepfather’s sister?"

Ling Yueyue gave a self-deprecating smile, "Yes, she was originally my aunt, my dad’s sister, but suddenly she became my biological mom, someone who never accepted me and didn’t want me since childhood! It’s precisely because I suddenly found out about this that I’ve been in a bad mood these past few days and neglected you, I’m really sorry, I promise I won’t do it again! I hope you won’t hold this against me and don’t think that Tiantian and I are the real family, and you’re an outsider! In my and your dad’s hearts, you and Tiantian are equally important! Even though you’re not my biological child, and you always call me a wicked stepmother, I’m very grateful and will never forget when your grandparents and aunt bullied me, you stood up for me! Since I love your dad, of course I also love the people he cares about! Please don’t have any other thoughts in your mind!"

Originally feeling down, after hearing Ling Yueyue’s words, Huo Jiantian suddenly felt very guilty, lowered his little head, and said apologetically, "You shouldn’t be saying sorry to me, you haven’t wronged me, I’m too petty, failing to see your kindness to me, too jealous of how you treat Tiantian better than me! Actually, I noticed your changes these past few days, but I just focused on myself, ignoring how you were feeling, sorry, I hope you can forgive me!"

Listening to Huo Jiantian’s words, Ling Yueyue suddenly felt he had matured a lot, so she couldn’t help but reach out and pat his little head, smiling, "You don’t need to apologize to me, you’re still young, a child’s heart is the most fragile, I understand!" After saying this, Ling Yueyue paused for a moment, then continued, "So, promise me, don’t overthink anything, just remember, no matter what happens, no matter when, you are the most beloved son to me and your dad, understood? Tiantian is as important to us as you are. Actually, you’re even more important, understand?"

Huo Jiantian looked at Ling Yueyue’s face for a long time before seriously nodding, "I understand!"

Seeing Huo Jiantian finally understood, Ling Yueyue nodded with satisfaction, "Good that you know! In that case, return to the way you were, I won’t mind you being mischievous, just follow your heart, understand?"

"I understand!" Huo Jiantian responded softly.

Ling Yueyue smiled and said, "Alright then, I’m going down first! Earlier you seemed to have no appetite and didn’t eat much, making me worry that you didn’t eat much either! Now I’m hungry, so I’ll go down to eat, are you staying here to do your homework or coming down with me to eat? I remember the kitchen made your favorite corn and shrimp today!"

Originally not feeling hungry, upon hearing Ling Yueyue’s words, Huo Jiantian couldn’t help but touch his stomach, and after thinking for a moment, blushing, nodded.

"Come on! Let’s go down and eat first, then do homework!" Saying this, Ling Yueyue took Huo Jiantian’s hand, getting ready to leave together.

As they reached the door, Huo Jiantian suddenly stopped, holding onto Ling Yueyue’s hand.

Seeing Huo Jiantian stop, Ling Yueyue turned around and asked puzzled, "What’s wrong? Why aren’t you moving?"

"I think it’s a good thing they’re not your real parents. They don’t deserve to be your parents at all! In my opinion, Aunt is actually better than them! Besides, I can see that Aunt sincerely likes you and Tiantian, and genuinely cares for you!" Huo Jiantian said earnestly.

Even though he was only six years old, he had eyes and could see! He could tell if a person’s kindness was real or not!

And as for the former set of so-called parents of the wicked stepmother, they openly treated the wicked stepmother poorly! They didn’t like the wicked stepmother and didn’t hide it at all.

And Aunt! Aunt started visiting his home quite frequently half a month ago! Although she came over as Tiantian’s grandaunt, she was nice to him too, practically bringing him gifts every time.

Regardless of how much those gifts cost, the thought mattered! And every time grandaunt came, she was always polite and courteous, truly from her heart liking Tiantian.

So, if grandaunt is the wicked stepmother’s biological mother, it’s a good thing for her, and there’s no need for her to be sad about it.

Ling Yueyue gave a self-deprecating smile, sarcastically saying, "If she’s genuinely good to us, if she truly cared about me as a daughter, she wouldn’t have abandoned me back then! I’m a mother now, and I know better than anyone, how can one bear to give away their own flesh and blood? So, no matter how well she’s treating me now, in my heart, she’s no different from my previous fake parents, they’re indistinguishable!"

Especially after she found out the truth, she waited at home for so long, just wanting a chance to hear her explanation, and see her repent in front of her!

But she waited and waited, only to hear she had left!

This made her heart feel so heavy.

Huo Jiantian smiled stiffly and said earnestly, "She’s much better to you than your previous fake parents! Anyway, I like this grandaunt, and if she’s your biological parent, I’d be very happy!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "What does it matter to you if she’s my biological mom? Why are you so happy?"
