Chapter 126:I Only Want Auntie

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

She longed to reach out and hold the child close to her, but Shen Mei was here, and she was the child’s mother.

It wasn’t because she was weak, but the timing was wrong. Taking control now would only provoke Shen Mei’s jealousy and harm Ding Ding. After all, she couldn’t compete with Li Zhenting for custody of the child.

“Ding Ding, come on, let mommy feed you,” Shen Mei didn’t give up and extended her hands to pick up Ding Ding with a sweet smile on her face.

“No, go away.” What surprised everyone, including Shen Ning, was that Ding Ding turned out to be so determined. He pushed Shen Mei away and looked at Shen Ning with disgust, extending his hands towards her. “Auntie, come here.” Everyone was shocked, including Shen Ning.

At that moment, Shen Ning’s heart trembled.

The child was still so young, unaware of the complexities of human nature. He liked what he liked and disliked what he disliked.

She had thought that after all these years of Shen Mei raising Ding Ding from a young age, there would be some emotional connection between them, and he wouldn’t reject her like this.

But she never expected it to be so bad!

This also confirmed from another perspective that Shen Mei had never genuinely cared for Ding Ding. If she had, Ding Ding wouldn’t be in such a pitiful situation.

But his actions would only fuel Shen Mei’s resentment because she was not a kind-hearted person.

Sure enough, she saw a glint of coldness in Shen Mei’s eyes, and her fingers clenched into fists.

All at once, her heart ached to the extreme. How had this little child grown up? How much neglect had he endured to develop such an extreme personality?

“Zhenting, look, Ding Ding is deeply hostile towards me. I don’t know what I did wrong. Although sometimes I may not be as caring towards him, I am his real mother, at least showing him love. 1 suspect someone with ulterior motives might be using him.” Shen Mei’s face turned pale, resembling a wounded rabbit, her eyes filled with tears as she gazed at Li Zhenting, looking utterly miserable.

Her words were quite clear; she suspected that Ding Ding had been manipulated by Shen Ning, leading him to treat his real mother this way. If that were the case, the situation would be very serious.

Li Zhenting narrowed his eyes, feeling a hint of doubt in his heart.

Ding Ding’s rejection of Shen Mei was indeed chilling, considering she was his real mother. At least in front of Li Zhenting, Shen Mei had always shown great care for Ding Ding. While she might not have contributed much, she certainly did her part. Ding Ding’s ill treatment of Shen Mei was clearly unjust.

Although Li Zhenting had witnessed Shen Mei’s indifference to a sick Ding Ding last night, it didn’t necessarily mean she had ill intentions or didn’t care for her child. Shen Mei had grown up in a privileged environment and might have felt repulsed by a child’s bowel movements, but that didn’t necessarily indicate she was a bad mother.

Therefore, when Li Zhenting returned home and saw how Ding Ding was treated, he didn’t reprimand Shen Mei. Additionally, as he was planning to hire Shen Ning as a home tutor for Ding Ding, it wouldn’t have been appropriate to criticize Shen Mei.

“Ding Ding, your mommy may have made some mistakes, but she gave birth to you and raised you. She usually cares for and loves you. She’s your elder, and you should learn to be grateful. You shouldn’t be so disrespectful to your mommy,” Li Zhenting approached and sternly scolded Ding Ding.

Ding Ding pouted and retorted, “Hmph, you just like Lan Lan and her. Then maybe you shouldn’t come to see me anymore. I only want Auntie.”

Li Zhenting couldn’t believe his ears. This kid had even started disliking him now. It seemed like he had lost his way in teaching him, and Ding Ding was becoming unmanageable.

“Ding Ding,” he said sternly.

Seeing his father’s dark expression and feeling the chill emanating from him, Ding Ding became somewhat frightened. He pursed his lips and teary-eyed, looked towards Shen Ning.

Unable to hold back any longer, Shen Ning rushed over and scooped Ding Ding into her arms..
