Fu Ziling pursed his lips tightly.
During this period of time, his elder brother had told him time and time again that Mummy was in a bad mood and that he should mess with her less.
Occasionally, on a few occasions, when he saw the maids doing something wrong, Mummy would sternly order them to correct it.
On one occasion, he heard the maids discussing privately that Mummy’s temper was getting worse and worse.
He wanted to refute the maid’s words, but he was powerless to do so.
Because he also felt that Mummy was becoming less and less like the old Mummy who loved and spoiled him unconditionally ……
Jing’er said that it was a new year and new weather, and that Mummy would soon be like her old self.
But why, he always felt that things were getting worse and worse?
“Mummy, did you really break cousin aunt’s finger?”
Fu Ziling opened his lips and asked in a slow voice.
The relaxed atmosphere that Ye Yunla had tried so hard to create suddenly froze.
“That woman is not your cousin’s aunt.” Fu Beijiu spoke indifferently, “She humiliated your long-dead grandmother and insulted your mommy, breaking her finger is the price she should pay.”
Fu Ziling pursed his lips and did not pursue the issue any further.
The dull atmosphere in the car continued all the way to the villa, and the children were not in high spirits when they watched the Chinese New Year Gala in the evening.
Little Yinyin, the most heartless child, also leaned against the sofa with a bitter face, not saying a word.
Ye Yunla let out a deep sigh.
The matriarch of a household determined the aura of the family, and now that she had become like this, the children were all too afraid to even speak up.
Little Yinyin was already autistic, so when she easily became a normal child, would she scare her back again?
“I’m a bit sleepy, I’m going up to rest, you guys take your time watching.”
Ye Yunla got up and went back to the bedroom.
Fu Beijiu stared at the TV screen, his jaw tense.
He tried to make the Fu family look no different from before, but the truth was that the sensitive children had noticed everything long ago.
They didn’t cry or make a fuss, and they tried to join him in creating family happiness and harmony.
It was only when Lara’s emotions flared up that the children automatically locked themselves into their shells.
Even Ziyan and Jing’er, who were the most understanding, had gradually become silent over the past half-decade or so.
Fu Beijue got up and walked to the cabinet, pulled it open and took out four boxes, holding them in front of the four children, “These are New Year gifts.”
The end of Fu Zi Ling’s eyes finally lit up: “Did daddy prepare them for us?”
“It’s not me, it’s your mummy.” Fu Beijiu’s mouth was tinged with a faint smile, “Open it and take a look, do you like it?”
Fu Zi Ling unpacked the gift box three times, it was a smart remote control plane, and it was a transforming a*sembly model, a toy he had been longing for for a long time.
“Wow, I love Mummy so much!” Fu Zi Ling jumped around on the sofa, “This is a limited edition toy from around the world, how did Mummy buy it back?”
Fu Beijiu lost his smile, “As long as you like it.”
“Wow, the Princess Elsa dress.” Little Yinyin took the dress out of the box and compared it to her body, “What a beautiful dress, more beautiful than all the Princess Elsa dresses I’ve ever seen.”
Fu Beijiu’s voice was gentle, “This dress was made by Mummy’s own hands, there are more than two hundred jewels on it, all sewn on by Mummy’s own hands.”
Little Yinyin’s face was full of emotion: “Can I go and say thank you to Mummy?”
Fu Beijiu picked her up, “Tomorrow, now Mummy is resting.”
Fu Ziyan opened the gift box that belonged to him, it was an oil painting, which at first glance was painted by Mummy’s own hands.
Ye Jingzhan’s gift was a laptop, top of the line configuration with many essential hacker features installed.
