Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

“What choice do I have? There were so many matters clashing together. Her eyes… ”

“Shut up. What’s so scary about differently colored pupils? You are ignorant.”

“I’m ignorant? Have you seen anyone with eyes like hers? Three great masters have already said that she is a cursed child and that she will bring calamity to the family. She can come home after she overcomes her predestined fate.”

“Bah!” The woman scolded. “What kind of sh*tty great master? Why didn’t the great master whom I invited say that her life was hard and that she was cursed? Your great masters did so in order to please your Old Master in your family. That was why they followed his words and said so. To think that you are educated. You really believe this?”

The little round-faced girl hid behind the screen and looked at them quarreling. The little wolf dog reared by Tang En’s family came in. It saw her, and being unfamiliar with her, it barked loudly at her. The little round-faced girl was so frightened that she screamed. In her state of panic, she knocked over the screen.

The woman got into a rage and shouted at the wolf dog. “Get lost!”

The little round-faced girl was frightened and ran over. She jumped into the woman’s arms. The man glanced at her. “Ye Wen, you are crazy. You dare to bring her back. Do you want to anger Dad to death?”

“Are you blind? Did you see her differently colored pupils? There’s nothing wrong with her eyes.”

The little round-faced girl raised her head and blinked her eyes. “Madam… ”

The man restrained his temper a little. He wiped his sleeves and left. The woman carried the little round-faced girl, sat in the car hurriedly, and left.

“Mommy…”

The woman stretched her hand and touched her head gently. “Emma, don’t be afraid. Mom will definitely bring you home.”

“I have a home,” the little round-faced girl said. “Is he… daddy?”

“He is not worthy.”

The little round-faced girl did not talk. The woman kissed her on the cheek. “I usually let the butler teach you etiquette. You must learn. Do you remember? Don’t only bother creating trouble and doing meaningless things. As a refined lady, you must have the character of a refined lady. Look at Daisy. I hired a teacher for you, but you did not learn a single thing. Other people have learned the essence. Be more focused.”

“Oh…” The little round-faced girl said dully, “I also don’t like it.”

“I also don’t like your dad. Didn’t I also marry him?” The woman gave her a jab on her brain. “Emma, wait until you grow up. You’ll understand. Whether you like it or not, nobody cares except for yourself.”

…

When Ye Tingyun left, he set the top floor to private mode. There were quite a number of modes on the top floor. After turning on private mode, only he could only enter the floor with his fingerprints and iris. This was so unless there was someone who could grow wings and flew onto the top floor.

Even if anyone grew wings and flew into it, the counter-tracking system would also be activated on the top floor. In other words, no one else besides him could enter. Ye Chu also could not come down. The whole annual event still had to go on for a few hours, but the medicine he gave her should be able to keep her asleep for a few hours.

“Brother Junchen… ”

After Ye Tingyun hosted a program, he came over to look for Ye Junchen. Emma was seated beside Ye Junchen. She called Ye Tingyun sweetly. “Brother… ”

“…” Shen Qianshu was dumbstruck.

Little Tong Hua touched his chin.

Both mother and son exchanged glances. What did they miss?

Ye Ling coughed once to hint to both mother and son to pay attention to managing their expressions. Shen Qianshu and Tong Hua resumed back to normal in a second. Ye Tingyun smiled politely to her. “Brother Junchen, I want to talk to you about some matters. Is it convenient?”

“Sure!”

Emma watched as Ye Junchen and Ye Tingyun left. The main table was left with Ye Ling, his family, and her. It was quite awkward though she did not seem to sense it. She talked softly to little Tong Hua.

Ye Tingyun pulled Ye Junchen to a remote area. Ye Junchen did not understand.

“What is it? You are so secretive.”
