TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS

Chapter 399: Slapping Xiao Wu's Mouth

Xiao Wu raised his head and glanced at him, but he did not say anything. Her expression was completely different from the reluctant gaze she had when she saw Mu Jingzhe come out this morning. If he did not know clearly that he had just been out for a day, Mu Jingzhe would suspect that he had been gone for several years or had transmigrated again.

Mu Jingzhe took a deep breath. "Xiao Wu, you don't even want to talk to me anymore?"

"No." Xiao Wu immediately denied it and looked at Mu Jingzhe. "Mom, that's not it."

"Good." Mu Jingzhe smiled and stroked the soft hair on his head. Then, he saw his head. "The hair on the back of your head has grown longer."

Sensing his usual warmth, Xiao Wu's heart stiffened. "Mama…"

“Mm, I'm here. Xiao Wu, I don't like long-winded. You know that, right? So can you tell me what really happened to you?”

Xiao Wu pursed his lips. “I... Actually it's nothing. It's just. When I was suddenly protected that day, I felt a little different from him. You know I used to really want to know .. my birth mother. This time, when I came back, I felt she changed a lot, so I went to look out of curiosity.”

"I understand. So you're just curious. No other reason, right?”

"No." Xiao Wu denied it.

Mu Jingzhe looked at Xiao Wu for a moment. "Well fine then. I'm just afraid something's gonna happen to you or she's gonna hurt you. After all, he had a bad track record. If she's a good mother, I won't stop you from meeting her. You know that, right?"

"I know." Xiao Wu nodded. "Mom, don't worry."

Xiao Wu finally did not say that he would not look for Shao Qiyun anymore. She also did not say that she missed Mu Jingzhe, as before. Only one day had passed, but they seemed to have grown apart.

The strawberries he had been picking with great difficulty were obviously only slightly sour when he tried them. However, when he took it home and ate it again, he realized that they were not only acidic, but also slightly astringent. He did not manage to taste their sweet and sour taste, and his mouth was filled with astringency.

The atmosphere felt very heavy. Although the family had gathered to eat strawberries, the situation did not improve. Mu Jingzhe waved his hand. "Stop eating. Let's eat when I buy a good one next time.”

However, Xiao Wu stopped Mu Jingzhe, not letting him throw it away. “They're delicious. I want to eat sour strawberries.”

The remaining half of the strawberries ended up in Xiao Wu's mouth. Shao Xi looked at him coldly and did not say a word.

However, Shao Dong felt that Xiao Wu was doing this because he wanted to show that he appreciated Mu Jingzhe's efforts, so he asked Shao Xi not to say anything.

When Mu Jingzhe saw that Xiao Wu had returned to normal, he thought that this matter with Shao Qiyun had ended. When he returned from the papermaking factory again, he made many efforts to make Shao Xi and Xiao Wu reconcile.

Although there were many ways to resolve their previous quarrels, they were clearly inappropriate this time around. Mu Jingzhe originally wanted to think of another way. He even wondered if he should pick strawberries again, thinking they might taste better now that they are ripe. However, this does not resolve the conflict. Instead, the conflict continues to get bigger and bigger.

A few days later, Xiao Wu started going to school alone even earlier. Every time he went to school alone earlier, he would go to meet Shao Qiyun. Shao Xi had been watching him and caught him again.

This time, Xiao Wu was much calmer than the first time. He even said, “He's alone. I'll just go to look around.”

“Why did you see that thing? Do you think it's not enough that he tried to kill you once, so you're planning to let him kill you a few more times? Shao Zhong, have you forgotten what kind of person he is? You are not allowed to see it again. ”

“Shao Zhong, what does your silence mean? Mama's still here. We agreed to be kind to Mom for the rest of our lives. What does it mean that you will see Shao Qiyun? Do you know how annoying and overwhelming your actions are? You betrayed Mother. Listen to me, if you dare to leave again, I won't let it slide!”

"She's my mom, too, so I'll go."

Xiao Wu's answer really angered Shao Xi. "Your mother? Shao Zhong, are you going to acknowledge that woman as your mother? You're nuts! Shao Zhong, you are crazy!”

Shao Xi was so angry that she stomped her foot, but Xiao Wu was still the same as usual. "I'm not crazy. I am free to admit it or not. Whynot? Your biological mother is dead, but my biological mother is not.”

"Shao Zhong, that's too much." Early in the morning, Shao Dong heard their quarrel and did not even have time to put on his shoes before rushing out. When he heard this, he immediately retorted.

"I didn't say anything wrong." From the corner of his eyes, Xiao Wu saw that the door of Mu Jingzhe's room was also open. He and Little Bei had come out, but he did not look up. He simply lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "I'll go first."

"You won't!" Shao Xi also looked at Mu Jingzhe. After seeing the expression on Mu Jingzhe's face, he was furious. "Listen to me, Shao Zhong, I really won't let you betray us!"

Shao Nan added, “Xiao Wu, you suddenly started seeing Shao Qiyun lately, making the atmosphere at home tense. By the way, you are free to do so. If you insist on looking for it and admit it, we will not stop you. But if you go, don't come back. We don't want a sister like you!”

Shao Nan had to show Xiao Wu the seriousness of the matter. It was impossible for the two mothers, Shao Qiyun and Mu Jingzhe, to coexist. He had to tell Xiao Wu the severity of the matter and also tell him who to choose.

There is basically nothing to doubt. Shao Nan thought that Xiao Wu would definitely choose Mu Jingzhe and should be aware of the severity of the matter. He did not expect Xiao Wu to say directly, “Alright, I will not be back then. Incidentally, she's my own mother. Here, the five of us fight over one mother.”

Xiao Wu's words exploded like water in an oil pot. "Whatchu mean? Don't tell me you're going to leave Mom and only care about Shao Qiyun? Don't you even care about Mom anymore? ”

Shao Xi was furious and did not even dare to look at Mu Jingzhe.

“You are the one who cannot accept that I have two mothers. I can only make choices. Incidentally, Mama still has the four of you, and she only has me. I'll admit it.”

Xiao Wu's words were still very calm, but this made them even more furious. Shao Xi was unwilling to pounce on Xiao Wu. "Shut up!"

"Little xi, stop!" Mu Jingzhe and Shao Dong shouted simultaneously, but before they could stop him, Shao Xi slapped Xiao Wu again.

Xiao Wu's mouth and the surrounding skin quickly turned red from the slap, but he did not retaliate or scream in pain.

Shao Xi looked at Xiao Wu, her eyes filled with anger, as if she wanted to eat it. In the end, Mommy still heard it. He must be sad now.

In reality, Mu Jingzhe had no time to be sad. He only fell asleep in the middle of the night because he stayed up late. In the morning, he fell into a deep sleep when he heard the sounds of quarrels and woke up in a daze. Then, he heard their conversation.

Even though he had heard it, he continued to feel like he was having a nightmare. This is something that only happens in nightmares, right?

However, when he pinched himself, it was painful. That's when he realized that this was not a dream.
