Chapter 820
Chapter 820: Chapter 804: More Eating, More Toys Chapter 820: Chapter 804: More Eating, More Toys If she had truly wanted to find someone, she would have found them by now.
Ren Li likely sent some messages to that side over the years, but did anyone from there ever come looking for her, inquire about her?
No, not at all.
Now Chengcheng is all grown up, yet in his heart, his grandpa is still Old Master Wang, and his uncles are Wang Zitan and the others.
Don’t put too much faith in so-called kinship.
For some people, their kinship is really too fragile, too brittle to withstand a single blow.
They are my family.
Ren Li still stubbornly wanted to make excuses for her own family.
“Sang Zhilan is also my family.”
Tang Yuxin said indifferently, this wasn’t a very good example.
If they could treat Ren Li’s family like that back then, she didn’t believe they would have any intention to repent.
Not every parent loves their child, nor is every parent truly sincere towards their child.

And she and Ren Li just happened to meet such unpleasant relatives.

They were helpless, and they had to accept the reality, that was all there was to it.
“But…” there was still a sliver of hope hidden in Ren Li’s heart.
“What if they have changed, what if they realize their mistakes?” Tang Yuxin lightly touched her red lips.
“Then I wish you good luck.”
What else could she say?
She could only offer such a blessing.
Indeed, not every parent loves their child, but not every mother is called Sang Zhilan, there are always exceptions, those who truly know how to repent.
She couldn’t, because of her own experiences, negate others.
That would be unfair to others, and equally unfair to Ren Li.
She had had enough of Sang Zhilan, had suffered enough persecution in her past life.
But maybe the people of the Ren Family were different; Shangli might fare better than her.
“Thank you, Yuxin.”
Ren Li felt much comforted when she heard Tang Yuxin’s words, and she planned to take Chengcheng back to recognize his relatives in a few days.
Chengcheng had grown so big, yet he had never met his maternal grandparents.
Tang Yuxin just smiled.
Yes, Chengcheng was now quite big, but a child of that size no longer needed his grandparents.
After all, this was Ren Li’s affair, and she wouldn’t interfere.
Everything was unknown, for in her previous life she hadn’t met Ren Li, and she didn’t know what Ren Li’s fate would be in this life either.
Ren Li was superfluous, and so was Chengcheng.
She always felt somewhat uneasy here, but Ren Li seemed to have come to terms with it; she seemed to be in a better mood, so Tang Yuxin had even less heart to crush her spirit any further.
Besides, there are some women who can’t be defeated now, like Ren Li at the moment.
Frankly speaking, she had already become a powerful woman.
In fact, Ren Li was homesick, which Tang Yuxin could understand.
Even after her rebirth, she still had some expectations of Sang Zhilan, but those expectations eventually turned into disappointment, motherly love into hurt.
Until now, she no longer needed a mother and had passed the age where she needed one.
Between her and Sang Zhilan, there were no longer debts or harms owed to one another.
Even if Sang Zhilan had wronged her, that was all in the past.
But Ren Li hadn’t let go; Ren Li still had hopes.
In the evening, when Tang Xincheng came back, he, as usual, played with Gu Dabai, his nephew, for a while.
Regrettably, Xiaobai was still being cared for at the Gu Family’s house; both Grandpa and Grandma Gu were there, and even Qiqi could take care of her little brother.
They didn’t want Xiaobai to come back, so the two kids had been separated for quite a few days since their last meeting.
But luckily, there were two, so one for each person, no rush, no fuss.
“Qiuqiu…”
Tang Xincheng dangled his tender little feet, his mouth smeared with food, as he cleaned his whole tiny face like taking care of an ancestor.
He was already so big, yet still needed to be fed.
He remembered that by the time he was a little over two, he ate by himself, but this little dummy, every time at mealtime, would end up with food all over his face.
“Mmm, what’s up now?”
Tang Xincheng again fed his little nephew a mouthful of rice.
Ever since the little one was born, he practically became a little nanny—washing diapers, feeding milk, soothing him to sleep, letting him ride on his back, not just once or twice, but had become second nature.
“Qiuqiu, Gu Dabai no eat, no eat.”
Gu Dabai turned his little face away, indicating he didn’t want to eat anymore, or was he just being petulant?
“Have one more bite.”
Tang Xincheng took the spoon again and fed his little nephew a big mouthful of egg custard, saying, “Mmm, eat more to grow faster.
Look at your little cousin, how ugly he was, all shriveled up, but because he ate a lot, now he’s turned out so handsome.
And handsome kids have the advantage.
You’ve got so many toys, they fill several rooms, way more than your ugly little cousin, so if you want more toys, eat well.
The more you eat, the more you’ll get.”
Upon hearing about more toys, Gu Dabai’s eyes indeed lit up.
“Another bite.”
Tang Xincheng held the egg custard to his little nephew’s mouth, and Gu Dabai, very much in the spirit of giving face to his uncle, took a big bite.
So Tang Xincheng kept talking while stuffing Gu Dabai’s mouth, until a large bowl of egg custard had settled into his belly, and then he finally stopped feeding him.
“Burp…” Gu Dabai let out a burp, then patted his chubby belly.
Tang Xincheng, curious, poked it too.
Ah, the watermelon’s ripe, he had eaten so much.
“So full, so full…”
Gu Dabai lay sprawled out, exposing his little tummy, just so Uncle would rub it.
The door outside opened, and Ren Li walked in.
“Grandma, grandma, hug hug…”
Gu Dabai stretched out his little arms to Ren Li; he wanted Grandma to pick him up.
He could only call out Grandpa and Grandma now, but as he grew older, he would be able to distinguish better.
Ren Li picked up Gu Dabai and couldn’t help but sigh; she was only so old and yet already called someone’s grandma, while in reality, her son was still in primary school.
Although she found her role as honorary grandmother a bit strange, it didn’t stop her from loving Gu Dabai.
“Good grandson, give Grandma a kiss.”
Ren Li planted a strong kiss on Gu Dabai’s little face, finding him more and more adorable the more she looked.
Tang Zhinian’s genes really were remarkable, producing children who were all so fair and beautiful, from Tang Yuxin to Dabai and Xiaobai, all utterly endearing, extremely so.
Gu Dabai also covered Grandma’s face with drool and then started gnawing on his little finger, playing with Grandma and babbling with Mom.
Meanwhile, Tang Xincheng continued to sit on the side doing his homework.
The profile of his face, showing a certain firmness, resembled both Tang Zhinian and Ren Li, making him quite standout in a crowd.
