Chapter 177 I Don't Like My Stepmother!
Lu Qianqian: Okay, I've finished giving birth, I can go back to the game now.
Xiao Chengcheng: Dad, can you help me clear a dungeon today? I can't get past it.
Lu Qianqian: Okay, what kind of dungeon?
Xiao Chengcheng: Blade Demon Domain!
Lu Qianqian: This is a four-player team dungeon. If you find some players of the same or higher level with decent equipment, you should be able to clear it.
Xiao Chengcheng: I never team up.
Lu Qianqian: ……
Xiao Chengcheng: I do all of this by myself.
Lu Qianqian: I admire you. You are indeed my son.
So, after Lu Qianqian and Xiao Chengcheng completed the five-star difficulty four-player dungeon, Blade Ghost Domain, the two sat on the BOSS's throne inside the dungeon and chatted.
Xiao Chengcheng: I haven't been in a good mood lately.
Lu Qianqian: Is it because of your stepmother?
After typing that word, Lu Qianqian's hand trembled slightly, but her eyes remained fixed on the chat box. She wondered what Xiao Chengcheng would say next, and whether she could accept it.
My heart started racing.
Xiao Chengcheng: Yes, it's because of her that everything in the house changed after she came.
Lu Qianqian's hands were trembling as she typed: Why?
Xiao Chengcheng: I don't have a mother, I don't know who my mother is, and my father is not my biological father.
Lu Qianqian was stunned. She stared at the screen in disbelief, read the sentence several times, and after confirming that she hadn't misread it, she asked in a trembling voice.
Lu Qianqian: Not your biological father??
Is Rong Changqing not Xiao Chengcheng's biological father?
Why didn't she know?
Xiao Chengcheng: Yes, my dad is actually my uncle. My parents left me first, and my uncle adopted me and became my dad. But I have been in poor health since I was a child, and my dad is very busy, so he left me with an aunt who is also his subordinate.
Lu Qianqian watched Xiao Chengcheng speak quietly, forcibly suppressing her inner shock and giving Xiao Chengcheng time to slowly express himself.
If he keeps holding it in, things will get worse.
Xiao Chengcheng: I have lived with my aunt for seven years and I have long regarded her as family. In my heart, my aunt is my mother.
Lu Qianqian's eyes were slightly red.
Xiao Chengcheng: But my dad married a stepmother and brought me back with him. This means that my aunt can no longer take care of me. I can't accept it at all. My dad doesn't consider my feelings at all. It's all because of that stepmother. She stole my dad and my aunt. If they have a child later, will they abandon me?
Lu Qianqian felt a heart-wrenching pain. What kind of ordeal could have made a seven-year-old child say such things?
Xiao Chengcheng: They already have a godson, and they treat him better than I do. I feel like I'll have to abandon him sooner or later, so I might as well go find my aunt. Only my aunt is truly good to me.
Lu Qianqian sighed deeply. After learning the whole story, she felt even more sorry for Xiao Chengcheng.
At this point, she put herself in the shoes of an outsider and asked him in an outsider's tone: "Is your stepmother not good to you?"
Xiao Chengcheng: No, not exactly.
Lu Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "No? She didn't hit you? She didn't scold you? Didn't her arrival throw your life into chaos?"
Xiao Chengcheng: She didn't hit me or scold me. Sometimes she even stood up for me. I just wasn't used to her taking my dad away and driving away my aunt.
Lu Qianqian: So, she wasn't actually that bad to you. Why do you hate her? Besides, your father will eventually remarry. If it's not her, it will be someone else. As for your aunt, she will also have her own children. You will eventually have to face all of this, it's just a matter of age.
Xiao Chengcheng: ……
Lu Qianqian: Son, just like me, outside of games, don't we still have to get married and have children?
After saying that, Lu Qianqian successfully made herself laugh.
Xiao Chengcheng: So, you will all have your own children, while I am destined to be alone.
Lu Qianqian was startled by his words and quickly said, "Why don't you believe that your parents don't love you anymore?"
Xiao Chengcheng: I can feel it.
Lu Qianqian was full of questions. When did she show that she didn't love Xiao Chengcheng anymore?
Was she clearly using her hobby?
Why can't this brat sense it?
Lu Qianqian: Then tell me, what are some signs that you don't love me?
Xiao Chengcheng: ……
He immediately thought of how Lu Qianqian and Rong Changqing had gone to pick up the little chubby boy and watch a movie, leaving him at home.
But the next second, he remembered Lu Qianqian standing up for him at school, protecting him at his classmate's house, building him a Ferris wheel and a windmill, and even helping him copy his homework.
Aren't these all good things to do for him?
Why did he forget about it a few days ago?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Qianqian asked: Where is he? Did he log off?
Xiao Chengcheng: No, she's very good to me, and she loves me in everything she does. It's just that I made her angry these past few days.
Upon seeing this sentence, Lu Qianqian suddenly burst into tears. This brat has finally figured it out.
But as an outsider in the game, she still had to pretend not to understand: You little kid, your words are so contradictory.
Xiao Chengcheng: Dad, I know, I know I was wrong. How, how can I get her to forgive me?
Lu Qianqian felt very comforted. Silly child, you don't need to do anything, I will forgive you!
Lu Qianqian: Based on what you just said, your stepmother must love you very much, so you don't need to go against her. Just give her a smile and a friendly greeting, and she will be very happy.
After saying that, she looked forward to Xiao Chengcheng calling her "Mom".
If she really shouted, she would definitely burst into tears on the spot.
Looking at these words, Xiao Chengcheng felt extremely awkward, and for a moment he said he couldn't shout them out.
Xiao Chengcheng: Let me think about it some more.
When Lu Qianqian saw this sentence, she was completely annoyed. Why do you still want to think about it? Come to Mommy's arms, you brat.
Xiao Chengcheng: Dad, thank you for spending so much time with me. You have to take care of the kids too, right? Go on, I'm going to sleep.
Lu Qianqian could only say: Okay, you should go to sleep early.
Xiao Chengcheng: Yes, goodbye Dad.
Then the two of them logged off. Lu Qianqian turned off her computer and sighed helplessly, "You brat, you can call me Dad so easily, but why can't you call me Mom?"
If she had known this beforehand, she would have just made him call her "Mom".
However, there is another thing to do now.
Lu Qianqian left the room and forcibly took Rong Changqing, who was watching financial news in the living room, outside for a walk.
Rong Changqing let her lead him, looking languid and as if he hadn't woken up yet.
After walking into a secluded grove, Lu Qianqian looked around carefully to make sure no one was around, then lowered her voice and asked Rong Changqing, "Is Xiao Chengcheng not your biological son?"
