Chapter 1559: Chapter 1559: Life in the Courtyard (11)

This morning’s incident, Mu Qiancheng somehow knew about it. When he returned for lunch, he asked, "Xue’er, I heard you were bullied today?"

"Where did you hear that from? There’s no such thing." Jiang Xue smiled and shook her head, surprised at Mu Qiancheng’s information network. This incident just happened this morning, yet he already knew about it.

"Good, as long as there wasn’t." Mu Qiancheng ruffled Jiang Xue’s hair and said, "If anyone bullies you, just hit them back."

"Hit them back? Aren’t you afraid I’ll ruin your reputation?" Jiang Xue looked at Mu Qiancheng in surprise; it’s rare for someone to say such a thing. After all, this is a workplace, not some other place.

The image of the spouse also represents the image of the man; if she really hit someone, it would definitely affect Mu Qiancheng. After all, they are a couple.

"Don’t worry, it won’t be a problem. As long as you aren’t bullied, that’s enough." Mu Qiancheng said with a smile. In his eyes, the only thing he cared about was Jiang Xue, and he couldn’t be bothered with anything else.

"Alright, I understand." Jiang Xue smiled and nodded, accepting Mu Qiancheng’s goodwill. As long as others don’t trouble her, she won’t actively seek trouble either.

After lunch, Mu Qiancheng went back to work. Jiang Xue took a nap for a while, then brought her child downstairs to stroll around the courtyard. When the sisters who were chatting saw Jiang Xue, they greeted her with smiles.

Jiang Xue nodded back at them but didn’t join them. She took her child to play aside; today, Little Reunion had a small leather ball in his hand.

Mother and son were happily playing when a little boy came in, snatching Little Reunion’s ball and starting to play with it by himself.

Jiang Xue looked on, slightly unhappy. She thought, this child is too domineering; he didn’t even ask before taking the ball to play.

Little Reunion, seeing his ball taken by the boy, wasn’t upset but approached him, saying, "Brother, play with me."

However, the boy looked at Little Reunion with disdain and said, "I wouldn’t play with a little brat like you."

With that, the boy hugged the ball and walked away. Jiang Xue was extremely angry and said coldly, "Put the ball down!"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Jiang Xue, the boy not only didn’t put the ball down but made a face, saying, "Chase me, if you catch me, the ball is yours."

After hearing the naughty child’s words, Jiang Xue’s face darkened, and she said again, "I told you to put the ball down, didn’t you hear?"

Her voice carried authority, making the boy a bit fearful. But soon he thought of something and brazenly said, "You catch me, if you do, the ball is yours; if not, it’s mine."

"Are you sure you’re not putting it down?" Jiang Xue didn’t want to speak nicely to the naughty child any longer, and stepped towards him. The naughty child turned to run but tripped and fell to the ground, bursting into tears.

As soon as the crying began, the child’s mother came over and said to Jiang Xue, "You’re an adult, how can you bully a child?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue looked up and realized the naughty child’s mother was one of the army wives from the chat group just now.

When the child had come to steal the ball, she probably saw it too but did nothing. Now that the child fell, she arrived quite quickly.
