Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel
The small family of four had been torn into two groups because of him. Unfortunately, Little Eggshell was still small and Su Youran couldn’t get her to understand adult matters. Even if she could, Little Eggshell would not believe her. After all, her great-grandfather completely doted on her and fulfilled her every wish.
For some reason, at that moment, Emma came to mind.
Although she didn’t think it was right for her to think of Emma, she didn’t want to be stuck in this predicament anymore. She needed to find a way to win back Little Eggshell’s heart, otherwise, there would be no point saying anything later.
So, she explained to Nangong Quan that she wanted to see Emma. Nangong Quan wanted to object, but just as the words reached his l*ps, he swallowed them back down.
“Go ahead…I’ll get someone to drive you there.”
His relationship with his daughter was managed badly and his wife was put in a difficult position. He didn’t expect his wife to be so immersed in Little Eggshell’s matter, so he couldn’t let his daughter continue being spoilt.
So, he agreed to let Su Youran meet with Emma because Emma was honestly an expert at comforting people.
There were some things that women couldn’t talk about in front of men, but in front of other women, they had endless things to vent about, and Su Youran had some venting to do.
Soon after, Nangong Quan gave his assistant a phone call, “Go get Cai Er from school right now.”
“But, she’s in the middle of class…”
“Take the day off,” Nangong Quan said. If he didn’t act quickly, Elder Nangong would end up taking her away again.
“OK, President,” the assistant immediately went to carry out his mission.
…
Actually, Emma never expected that Su Youran would ever meet with her again. Although she was in a position to ignore Su Youran if she wanted to, Su Youran was already at her front door, so there was no reason to ignore her.
Stepping foot into Hyatt Regency again, Su Youran appeared very tense. After all, she was now Nangong Quan’s wife and she was meeting with their enemy’s wife. It seemed a little wrong, but apart from Emma, she couldn’t think of anyone else that could help her.
“Just act like how you used to, you don’t need to be so nervous,” Emma assured. “Youran, are you experiencing difficulties?”
“Emma, there’s something I need your help with,” Su Youran said after gathering her courage. “Cai Er doesn’t listen to me nor her father anymore. We are both very worried.”
“The old man is driving a wedge bet**en you guys because Little Eggshell has a good relationship with my two rascals,” Emma replied. “So, it makes sense that you came looking for me.”
“I’m really out of ideas now.”
“The old man’s intent is still unknown, so it’s impossible for me to not feel cautious of him,” Emma laughed gently. “I’m simply afraid that Elder Nangong will treat Cai Er like a long term chess piece and keep her by his side. My two rascals can always change schools, but what about you?”
“That’s why I’m here to look for you…” Su Youran looked at Emma with sincerity. “Can you teach me how to win back Cai Er’s heart?”
Emma thought for a second and smiled, “Logically speaking, Little Eggshell is a girl. You should understand how a girl thinks. Elder Nangong may be full of tricks, but he would never understand the mind of a little girl.”
“There’s only one way to coax a child. You need to understand what they like.”
“Hold onto Little Eggshell’s secret and help her keep it a secret. That way, you will be on the same side. That’s the trick Elder Nangong is currently playing. From the way that Little Eggshell treats you, he must have been feeding her bad ideas about the two of you.”
“But, of course, the most important factor is Nangong Quan!” Emma spent that afternoon telling Su Youran about her experiences with children and sharing her views on life.
Of course, Emma never thought she’d end up being a parenting counselor.
But, Su Youran was a person with principles. If she hadn’t been forced to her limits, she wouldn’t have come to look for Emma.
Because of this, Emma could tell that the Nangong Family was truly in a mess. As long as Elder Nangong was still around, she could no longer act casually and let the two brothers continue at the same school as Little Eggshell.
Since fate wasn’t on their side, they couldn’t continue stepping into dangerous territory.
If the old man actually decided to use Little Eggshell against the twins, it would be too late to feel regret.
So, Emma called Roberts Zichen over, held him bet**en her legs and asked, “If Mommy makes you change schools, what would you think about it?”
Roberts Zichen did not have much of an opinion, but Roberts Zixi was obviously unhappy. As for Eric, his response was for the twins to finish their current semester first.
If he knew this would happen, he wouldn’t have let them come in contact in the first place…
…
Meanwhile, after Nangong Quan took Cai Er from school, he left her in his office so she could do her homework.
If this was in the past, Little Eggshell would have sat on his lap in a cute and cheeky manner. But, Little Eggshell was no longer close to her father.
After all, Elder Nangong had told her that her Daddy and new Mommy were planning to have a little brother, and they would no longer love her anymore when that happened. Whereas, her great-grandfather would continue to love her.
Seeing the current situation, Nangong Quan put down the documents in his hand and waved Little Eggshell over, “Little Eggshell, come here.”
Little Eggshell thought for a second before she ran towards her father’s arms and sat on his lap.
“Can you tell Daddy why you’ve been so distant lately?”
“Great-grandfather told me that you and Mommy were giving birth to a little brother and that you won’t care about me anymore…”
“Just because great-grandfather told you that, do you believe him? Little Eggshell, you’ve been living with Daddy for five years now. When have I ever been bad to you? Daddy’s been so nice to you, yet you only trust great-grandfather. How can Daddy not be hurt by that?”
“Sorry…Daddy,” Little Eggshell lowered her head with guilt.
“Daddy doesn’t need your apology, Daddy needs you to tell him why you trust great-grandfather so much.”
“Daddy, I’m hungry…” Little Eggshell suddenly changed the subject.
But, it didn’t work on Nangong Quan. Instead, he said to her, “Cai Er, Daddy will make things clear for you. If you still want stick to great-grandfather, that means you no longer want Daddy. Other kids don’t need to worry about this because other kids have loving grandfathers, but your great-grandfather is not like that.”
“Daddy…Great-grandfather’s nice…” Little Eggshell immediately spoke up for her great-grandfather
“Fine, if you choose Great-grandfather, you can go live with him. Daddy will no longer be with Cai Er. To protect you, there are some things that Daddy can’t tell you, and for your own good, there are some things that Daddy can’t let you do. But, if you think Great-grandfather treats you better, then go follow him.”
As soon as Little Eggshell heard this, her eyes began to turn red, “Daddy…do you not want Little Eggshell anymore?”
“It’s Little Eggshell that doesn’t want Daddy anymore. Do you know how much Mommy worries about you every day? Yet, you don’t appreciate her efforts and you even give Mommy attitude. Cai Er, you’ve been able to understand right from wrong since a young age, but not this time. You’ve made Daddy very disappointed…”
Nangong Quan spoke to Little Eggshell slowly in a gentle and understanding tone.
“Daddy won’t blame you if you decide to choose great-grandfather, but I will be heartbroken for a very long time knowing that my own daughter doesn’t trust me…”
“Daddy, I don’t want to be separated from you. I don’t want that.”
“But you don’t trust Daddy; you don’t have faith in my decisions anymore.”
Little Eggshell began to cry and whimper, but Nangong Quan did not place any p**ssure on her. Only after she finished crying, did he slowly ask her to explain everything, including the ideas that the old man had been feeding her.
This included the part where he said that a stepmother was different to a real mother.
After hearing from Little Eggshell, Nangong Quan did not say a word, but…he was deeply unsettled on the inside
After their chat, Little Eggshell fell asleep on Nangong Quan’s lap all the way until he finished work and carried her home. But, when he stepped foot into the living room, Elder Nangong was waiting for them.
As soon as Elder Nangong saw Nangong Quan carrying Little Eggshell into the living room, he said, “Let me carry her…”
“I can take care of my own daughter…” Nangong Quan refused.
“But, Cai Er likes being around me.”
“That was yesterday!” Nangong Quan said coldly. “Grandfather, now that things have gotten to this point, let me make things clear for you. Stop trying to drive a wedge bet**en Cai Er and I; she’s my daughter. Also, stop trying to manipulate Cai Er so she can be used as a chess piece. I won’t allow that unless I’m dead!”
“Interesting…” the old man laughed.
Nangong Quan ignored the man as he carried Little Eggshell back to her room and placed her on her bed.
But, Little Eggshell suddenly sat up and hugged her father, “Daddy, I already woke up while we were on our way back. I heard what you said to Great-grandfather.”
“Although I don’t understand what a chess piece is, I can tell that it’s not a good thing.”
“Daddy, I’m sorry…”
“From now on, keep your distance from Great-grandfather, OK?”
“OK.”
