Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Mommy, mommy.”

As Li Wanqing felt overwhelmed, suddenly, she heard Dingding mumbling in his sleep. She leaned in closer and indeed heard Dingding calling out “mommy” in his dream.

Her face turned cold.

Right, where was Shen Mei?

Her child was in such a state of illness, and she, as his mother, was nowhere to be found!

A surge of anger welled up from deep within her.

This woman spent her days either shopping or playing mahjong, never putting any effort into their child!

Li Wanqing’s face grew darker by the moment.

In the afternoon, Shen Mei returned home, brimming with excitement and carrying bags of shopping.

Today, she had gone shopping with the young mistress of the Li family. They had competed in shopping, and of course, Shen Mei had emerged victorious, snatching away all the bags and clothes the other woman had her eye on, infuriating her.

Shen Mei was in high spirits, humming a tune as she entered the living room. However, to her surprise, Li Wanqing stood there with a stern expression, glaring at her intensely.

She suddenly felt anxious.

“Aunt…” She began, trying to sound conciliatory.

“Shen Mei, your son is seriously ill, and you have the heart to go shopping? Is this how a mother should act?” Li Wanqing scolded sharply.

Shen Mei was momentarily stunned and asked, “Aunt, are you saying Dingding is sick?”

“Who else could it be?”

Dingding was ill!

After a brief moment of shock, Shen Mei inexplicably felt a surge of joy in her heart.

However, she wouldn’t dare to show it in front of Li Wanqing.

“Then, 1’11 go check on him.” She immediately set her things down and rushed upstairs, her face filled with concern.

Li Wanqing watched her hurried figure and shook her head.

This woman showed no care for her own son; she genuinely disliked her. Li Wanqing thought that her former daughter-in-law, Shen Ning, was much better. She was modest and responsible. She couldn’t fathom how her son fell in love with this woman. If not for her son and grandson, she would have chased her away long ago.

“Dingding, how did you get sick? Are you feeling any better?” Shen Mei walked into Dingding’s room, looking at his pale face and feigned concern.

Dingding hadn’t eaten anything the entire day and lay listlessly on the bed, clearly unwell.

“Mommy, I need to use the bathroom. Can you help me get up?” He looked at Shen Mei, pouting, his face filled with discomfort.

His stomach was acting up again, and he had already had several bouts of diarrhea today.

“Okay.” Shen Mei responded and bent down to help him up.

But a child couldn’t control diarrhea, and as soon as Dingding stood up, there was a sudden gush, and everything ended up in his pants, still watery. It created a mess, even splashing onto Shen Mei’s lovely dress.

“Yuck, it’s so smelly.” Shen Mei immediately held her nose with her hand, her eyes filled with disgust. She scolded, “Couldn’t you have made it to the toilet? It’s all over me now, and this dress was expensive. You’ve ruined it.”

Dingding looked sad, pouting, “I couldn’t help it.”

“Really annoying.” Shen Mei muttered in disgust. “You stay here; I’m going downstairs to call the maid.”

With that, she hurriedly left the room, leaving the child all alone.

Dingding stood there, eyes welling up with tears.

But just as Shen Mei turned away, she looked up to find Li Zhenting standing at the doorway, his face dark and his gaze piercing.

She was dumbfounded.

When did Li Zhenting arrive, and why hadn’t she heard his footsteps at all?

“Zhenting…” Her legs went weak, and she stammered.

Li Zhenting’s sharp eyes cast a cold, harsh glance at her as he swiftly walked over to Dingding’s side. His strong arms lifted the child into his embrace..
