[I hate kids I hate kids I hate kids]
[How dare she? Ming Zhi is a singer, and she’s just showing off in front of an expert!]
[I seriously suspect this kid is deliberately trying to steal the spotlight! So young and already so scheming!]
…
Ming Zhi couldn’t see the comments in the live stream room. She casually played a few universal chords and said, “Come on, let me hear where your pitch is.”
Little Yu stood upright, swaying her head and singing in a sweet, childish voice:
“Do you know that MACAU is not my real name?
I’ve been away from you for too long, mother…”
Ming Zhi was stunned from the very first line.
She had expected Little Yu to sing popular children’s songs from short video apps, but she never imagined she would start with this song.
Her slender fingers hesitated for a moment before switching to the accompaniment for this song.
“But what they took away was my body
You still keep the soul within me
…
Mother, oh mother, I want to return
Mother, mother…”
The little one’s voice was tender and sweet, filled with genuine emotion.
In the live stream room, comments from casual viewers instantly drowned out the remarks from Mù Fěi’s fans—
[Ahhh, don’t kill me with patriotism!]
[Oh my, the little one’s sweet voice hits right in the soul from the very first note! This song really sounds the best when sung by a child!]
[At an age when she can barely speak clearly, she already knows how to sing “Song of the Seven Sons.” Wuwu, stop saying our little one is sick! She’s clearly been raised well!]
[It suddenly occurred to me that at Little Yu’s age, she might not even understand the concept of patriotism. So when she sings this, she’s probably just missing her mom. Wuwu, the line “Mother, I want to return” really got me. Tears in my eyes.]
…
Within minutes, netizens spontaneously edited Little Yu’s singing into short videos and posted them on social media.
In no time, the likes skyrocketed.
Many viewers even tuned into the “A Loving Family” live stream just to watch this clip.
…
After finishing her song, Little Yu puffed out her pink cheeks proudly and said, “Sister, am I amazing~”
At the orphanage, Sister Xiao Tian always said she sang really, really well~
So the little one had always believed she was the best singer in the whole world.
From a professional perspective, Little Yu’s pitch and rhythm were far from perfect.
But her emotion? Unbeatable.
Ming Zhi’s cherry lips twitched slightly, and she swallowed her cold, critical remarks, reluctantly uttering, “…Not bad.”
“So, did you learn it? Do you want me to teach you again?”
Who did she think she was looking down on?
Ming Zhi sang a few lines a cappella.
A professional was a professional—even without accompaniment, her singing was breathtaking.
“Wow—” Little Yu looked at Ming Zhi with admiration, her big, dark eyes sparkling. “Sister, you’re actually the best singer in the world!”
Hmph, did she think a few sweet words could fool me?
Ming Zhi tried to keep a straight face, but the corner of her mouth still betrayed her with a slight, involuntary upward twitch.
Well, who doesn’t love a little one’s flattery~
While things were harmonious upstairs, a sudden change occurred downstairs.
Yún Fēng had no idea how to cook—he was just talking big. In the end, it was Mù Fěi who did all the work.
Mù Fěi busied herself washing vegetables and cutting meat.
Meanwhile, Yún Fēng stood nearby like a hands-off boss, not even bothering to pick up an overturned oil bottle.
Mù Fěi felt resentful, but Yún Fēng’s line, “Darling, with a wife like you, what more could a husband ask for?” easily won her over again!
“Alright, alright, stop causing trouble here.” Mù Fěi shooed him away, casually picking up the phone Yún Fēng had just placed on the table.
Coincidentally, several new messages popped up on the screen.
【Darling, I want that crocodile skin bag~】
【You promised to buy it for me, no backing out now, kisses~】
【Didn’t you say you hated that old woman so much that seeing her makes you sick? Why are you still doing a live stream with her! Honestly!】
Mù Fěi’s expression changed.
Yún Fēng sensed something was wrong and snatched the phone back, his tone sharpening: “Honey, focus on cooking.”
Mù Fěi wanted to lash out—but she held back.
Her first thought was that she absolutely could not let the audience find out that she had not only married into a fake wealthy family, but that her husband was also a scumbag!
Fortunately, the camera hadn’t captured the content on the phone screen, so she could continue playing the role of the pampered wife of a wealthy family.
Yún Fēng slammed the door and left.
Mù Fěi stood frozen for a moment, her cheerful cooking mood turning ice-cold.
Damn Yun Xiaoyu… it’s all her fault!
If Yun Xiaoyu could earn more money, how could her husband ever stray?
Mealtime.
Míng Zhī led Little Yu downstairs.
Mù Fěi’s cooking skills were average, and Míng Zhī was picky, so the sight of the table full of dishes killed her appetite.
Little Yu, however, ate with great relish, her cheeks puffed out.
Mù Fěi frowned: “Yun Xiaoyu, girls shouldn’t eat so much. If you get fat, you won’t be pretty anymore, and no one will like you.”
She moved the spare ribs away from Little Yu and Míng Zhī, replacing them with a vegetable salad. She deliberately placed the ribs in front of her husband: “Honey, eat more. Men have higher metabolisms and burn energy faster, so they need more meat.”
Míng Zhī slammed her chopsticks down: “What do you mean? So only men deserve to eat meat, and we women don’t? The Qing Dynasty fell ages ago!”
Yún Fēng forced an awkward smile: “Your aunt doesn’t mean it that way… She’s just worried you girls will gain weight… Look at her—to maintain her figure, she only eats two lettuce leaves per meal!”
Míng Zhī ignored him and defiantly brought the ribs back, placing several pieces in Little Yu’s bowl: “Eat! Girls need to eat meat! Meat helps you grow taller! Meat gives you strength!”
Little Yu timidly met Mù Fěi’s dark, glaring eyes and was too scared to even pick up her chopsticks.
Her thigh seemed to ache faintly again.
“I… I’m full.”
Míng Zhī was exasperated. You’re supposed to become the future villain queen—stand up for yourself!
In the live stream room, chaos had already erupted.
【What kind of feudal thinking is Mù Fěi showing? Don’t be so obsessed with men!】
【Girls are only pretty when they’re thin! Who’d marry a fatty? /eye roll/eye roll】
【Can the production team add a block function for guests? I really don’t want to see that brat Míng Zhī anymore.】
【Honestly, it’s all Yun Xiaoyu’s fault! If she didn’t eat meat, none of this would’ve happened! Look at her greedy face—like a starving ghost reincarnated! No manners at all!】
【??? Some people are taking dieting way too seriously. It’s barely understandable for adults to lose weight moderately, but why would a three-and-a-half-year-old need to diet?!】
…
The meal was anything but harmonious—everyone was seething with anger.
Míng Zhī went to the bathroom and came out to find Little Yu missing.
“Where’s Little Yu?” she demanded of Yún Fēng in the living room.
Yún Fēng chuckled evasively: “Your aunt took Little Yu for a nap.”
Míng Zhī sneered: “Is that so?”
“I’m a baby too, I want to sleep with them!”
Yún Fēng: ??
You’re already 16 years old, what kind of baby are you?!
Master bedroom, bathroom.
There were no cameras set up here. Mù Fěi raised her hand and turned off both of their microphones.
Her face was dark, her resentful gaze practically wanting to carve a hole in Little Yu.
Little Yu retreated step by step, her small, milky voice tinged with sobs: “Mommy, Little Yu was wrong…”
