Chapter 278 – FLNC Ch.278 Gambling (2)
“She looks a bit like Qin Xue, and she has a Xue in her name, too. Don’t look at how much of a failure Qin Xue is now. When she was pretty, she was truly amazing.” Zhuang Boshan took another puff of his cigar, popping out a few rings of smoke before saying, “A little princess should be nurtured from a young age, get the persona down as soon as possible. Then, when she grows up, if anything doesn’t fit, then you can just adjust it with some surgery. As long as you hand your daughter over to my company, I guarantee you that she’ll turn into a great beauty!”
Le Xiao’s eyes were slightly red. She squeezed out some tears and said in a trembling voice, “Mr. Zhuang, I…really don’t know how to repay you.”
The man did not hold back in front of the girl at all. Reaching over, he hooked up Le Xiao’s chin with his finger. “Repayment is not necessary. Just stay with me tonight.”
The little girl did not dare to speak on the man’s lap. The smoke coming out of his mouth was disgusting and made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
When Zhuang Boshan went into his cabin to sleep, Liu Xue grabbed Le Xiao’s hand and said, “Mama, I don’t like that Uncle. His mouth smells bad.”
Worried that his assistant outside would hear, he slapped her daughter across the face. “What are you saying? Don’t say things like that again, do you hear me?”
Holding her cheek, the young girl pouted.
“And no crying!”
She had no choice but to force her tears back. Then, she was taken to another room to rest while her Mama who accompanied her every night went into that Uncle Zhuang’s room.
At his age, she had no idea what it meant for her Mama to sleep with Uncle Zhuang. She thought that it was the same as her mama accompanying her at night. But she felt especially sad because she didn’t like that Uncle Zhuang. She couldn’t understand what her Mama liked about him. She also didn’t want to go to any island. She just wanted to go to an amusement park with her Mama.
In Liu Xue’s mind, the image of Tuantuan lying on Lu Ting’s shoulder and sleeping peacefully was constantly replaying in her mind. If her papa was still around, then she must also be able to sleep peacefully on her papa’s shoulder like that, too.
And Le Xiao also had no idea that her own actions would become a lingering childhood trauma in the child.
—
The sea was very windy so the ship was constantly bobbing up and down. Lin Yueqi was a little seasick and was lying uncomfortably on Lu Ting’s lap.
Just the thought of being able to visit that very special island filled Tuantuan with excitement. She was leaning against Lu Ting’s shoulder, holding an iPad Pro and drawing how her mama looked tonight when she won the award.
At the same time, she was constantly muttering something, which translated to, “Mama was super pretty tonight. I gotta make her shine. Also, I don’t like that uncle who gave Mama the award. I want to draw him with a pig ear and pig nose.”
After she finished drawing, she elbowed Lu Ting and said, “Papa—”
“Shhh.” Lu Ting made a silent gesture at her, signaling for her to keep her voice down.
The chubby girl shrugged and lowered her voice. “Papa, I heard from Mumu that the amusement park in Haigang City is super big. There’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. There’s also Maleficent and Donald Duck! Also, also! Mumu said that there’s a lover’s cliff on Mara Island, and you can see a rainbow bridge that connects to the sky. It’s super pretty! Mumu said that I’ll be able to see the rainbow bridge as long as I like him. Papa, will we be able to see the rainbow bridge?”
“…” Lu Ting did not expect that little pig hoof from Song Renze’s family would be so underhanded.
If Tuantuan sees the rainbow bridge, then wouldn’t that prove that she liked Song Mu? That little pig hoof, so sneaky at such a young age. Wouldn’t he ruin his daughter in the future?
