Capítulo 223: Ren's Trick
This year, February 11th was New Year's Eve.
But this year was a bit different from previous years.
This year, Ren's family had a new member—his baby son! Ren's parents were also spending the New Year at his house.
Everything should have been wonderful, but right now, little Yueyue was very angry!
"Daddy!"
Yueyue stood with her hands on her hips, looking up at her naughty father, puffing her cheeks in frustration. "Why didn't you give me my red envelope!? A red envelope is supposed to keep me safe and sound for the year!"
Yueyue was furious, and the consequences were serious!
How could her daddy not give her a red envelope? Was he bullying a child?
"And you have the nerve to ask?" Ren glanced at his daughter, who was confidently arguing, and thought about what he had discovered. His anger rose even more. "After what you did, you still have the guts to ask for a red envelope?"
"Huh?" Yueyue looked puzzled.
What did she do?
Was it because she deleted her dad's game save?
Or was it because she spent all his in-game currency? Or maybe it was because she got caught tattling to Mom?
But since Daddy didn't say what it was, she should play dumb. Maybe he was trying to trick her!
Quick images flashed through her mind. She was sure she hadn't left any evidence!
As long as there was no evidence, she was innocent!
Thinking this, Yueyue crossed her arms confidently. "What are you talking about? I don't understand! I'm a good kid, I didn't do anything wrong!"
"Heh!" Ren sneered.
He stood up and walked upstairs under the curious gazes of the others.
A few seconds later, he came back down with a notebook in his hand.
"Explain this! This essay almost made me lose my mind!"
Ren slammed Yueyue's winter break homework—an essay—onto the table.
Jada and Ren's parents picked up the essay and read it.
Then they exchanged glances. "What's wrong?"
They didn't see anything wrong with it.
It was well-written and on-topic.
"Exactly! What's wrong?" Yueyue picked up the essay, looking it over from all angles, not finding any mistakes. "No spelling errors, and it didn't stray from the topic!"
Yueyue looked at Ren with innocent eyes, as if questioning him.
Hearing her say this made Ren even angrier!
"Your teacher assigned you to write about 'Family Love.' And what did you do? Oh, Mom has love, Grandma and Grandpa have love, even Ruirui has love!" Ren's voice grew louder as he pinched Yueyue's soft cheeks. "But what about Daddy's love?! Do I not have any love? No conscience at all! Look at your snacks, your toys, think about..."
Ren was so angry that he started to babble.
Yueyue saw this and couldn't help but laugh.
That's right, she did it on purpose!
Her dad had teased her last time!
She had fallen down, and all he cared about was Ruirui!
"Laugh, laugh, all you do is laugh!" Ren pointed at her essay in frustration. "I don't care, you must rewrite it and include my love for you!"
"Huh?"
"Huh, what? You're driving me crazy!"
"Grandma~~ Daddy's bullying me!!" Hearing that she had to rewrite her essay, Yueyue immediately turned to her grandma, pouting.
"Alright, alright." Hearing her granddaughter's plea, Grandma's heart melted, and she glared at Ren. "The essay is fine as it is! Why force her to include your love? You're just picking on Yueyue!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
With Grandma backing her up, Yueyue's confidence soared.
She hid behind Grandma and waved her tiny fists at Ren, then proudly lifted her head. "Happy New Year! Hand over my red envelope!"
"..." Honestly, Ren didn't want to give her the red envelope, but...
His mom was watching, so he had no choice.
Taking a deep breath, Ren pulled out the prepared red envelope from his pocket.
He made a decision: after Jada finished her confinement period, the baby's full moon celebration, and his parents went back home, he would teach this little girl a lesson!
She needed to learn what cruelty was!
And it would start with her snacks.
As Ren thought about this, little Yueyue, who had just received her red envelope and was feeling quite pleased, suddenly shivered with a sense of dread.
She looked around but didn't see anything unusual, so she shrugged it off.
Maybe it was just her imagination?
With that thought, the family resumed eating their dumplings.
…
After the meal, the house was filled with harmony.
Ren's parents were taking care of the baby.
Jada was lying on the couch with her feet on Ren's lap, enjoying a massage.
As for Yueyue, she was sitting on another couch, holding her red envelope and happily counting the money inside.
Although she didn't spend money, she loved the feeling of counting it. It made her feel secure!
But compared to the rest of the family, Ren was in a foul mood, especially as he watched Yueyue happily counting her money!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became!
Suddenly, an idea popped into Ren's head.
He gently moved Jada's feet off his lap and slowly walked toward Yueyue.
Hearing the footsteps, Yueyue instinctively looked up and saw her dad approaching with a smile.
This immediately made her wary. She hugged her money to her chest and warned, "What do you want? I'm telling you, don't even think about taking my red envelope!"
"Why would Daddy take your red envelope?" Ren chuckled, sitting down next to her. Yueyue quickly scooted away to keep some distance.
As the saying goes, "A bad daddy isn't up to any good!"
She wasn't going to fall for it!
"Then why are you here?"
"Do you know what a bank is, Yueyue?" Ren ignored her question, instead asking something that puzzled her.
Not just her—Ren's parents and Jada, who had been watching, were curious about what he was up to.
"I know, but what does that have to do with you coming over here?" Yueyue tightened her grip on her money. "I'm not a bank! And even if I were, I wouldn't have extra money!"
