Lu Yunling's voice was shrill: "It's you, you're disgusting."
"Enough! Get out," Qiao Ze's voice was icy, he and Sui Yu spoke at the same time.
Ye Anning took a deep breath and turned to Shen Nian to say: "I'm sorry, your birthday this time may not be very pleasant."
Shen Nian shook her head: "It was my oversight." She shouldn't have invited Lu Yunling.
She looked at Lu Yunling coldly: "My birthday is over, now let someone take you home."
Lu Yunling said in disbelief: "You're kicking me out for this jerk?"
Shen Nian's disgust for her was almost at its peak: "An Yan is not a jerk, you are."
Finally, Shen Nian called Lu Yunling a taxi and sent her back. She didn't even want Lu Yunling to take their family's car anymore.
But at least the taxis here could fully guarantee the safety of children, given the price.
An Yan had been keeping her head down, not knowing what she was thinking.
The grape she was holding gently rubbed her clothes, as if comforting her.
After seeing off the guest, Shen Nian sat down next to An Yan and gently said, "Don't be upset, An Yan."
The little girl's voice was very small: "Nian Nian...An Yan is not disgusting." For some reason, when she heard that sister just now say she was disgusting, she felt very upset.
Shen Nian felt heartache and panic at the same time, because she had also used such vicious words to attack An Yan before.
Ye Anning was the same, her hands were shaking.
In a panic, she wiped away the little girl's tears and forced herself to calm down: "An Yan is not disgusting at all, it's the person just now who's disgusting."
An Yan grabbed Ye Anning's clothes carefully and said, "Sister, An Yan really likes sister and Nian Nian...and brother too, don't dislike me, okay? An Yan will be very good."
Ye Anning's eyes were red: "An Yan, don't listen to what that person just said, she said it on purpose. Our An Yan is so cute, the cutest in the world."
Sui Yu squatted in front of the little girl and looked at her seriously: "An Yan doesn't have to be good, An Yan can do whatever she wants with brother and sisters."
He didn't want his sister to become a very well-behaved child. He just wanted his sister to feel free to do what she wanted.
Qi Linhan stroked the little girl's head, his voice as gentle as possible: "An Yan, we won't play with that person just now, ignore her."
After rubbing her eyes, An Yan looked at everyone. After making sure that everyone did not dislike her, she plucked up the courage to say, "Nian Nian, An Yan doesn't like that person just now."
Shen Nian was also fed up with children like Lu Yunling. She gently said to the little girl, "I don't like her either, our An Yan is the best."
The little girl seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She finally smiled instead of agonizing over Lu Yunling's words.
"Nian Nian, An Yan will give you a present."
Shen Nian smiled lightly: "Okay, what gift does An Yan want to give me?"
An Yan got up from the ground, ran to the back of the sofa to find the gift box she had hidden, and presented it to Shen Nian like a treasure: "For Nian Nian!"
Shen Nian took the gift box and curiously said, "An Yan, can I open it and take a look now?"
An Yan hugged the motionless grape and nodded seriously: "Okay."
Shen Nian solemnly unwrapped the gift box, and was pleasantly surprised to see a exquisite set of books inside.
In her previous life, Shen Nian was a quite famous writer. She really enjoyed writing. The set of books An Yan gave her now was exactly the kind she had wanted to buy for many years but could never find.
She hugged the well-behaved little girl in front of her: "An Yan, thank you, I really like this gift."
An Yan pursed her lips, a little embarrassed: "Nian Nian, this is my favorite book, I thought you would definitely like it too."
Shen Nian was taken aback. She hesitated a little: "An Yan, you gave me your favorite book."
The little girl smiled happily: "As long as Nian Nian likes it, it's fine."
Shen Nian was moved by the little girl: "Thank you An Yan, I really like it."
After all this fuss, the others also presented their gifts.
Shen Nian didn't unwrap their gifts anymore, she just took An Yan to cut the cake and let the little girl eat her fill.
Perhaps because she had cried too hard just now, An Yan fell asleep after eating the cake, lying on the table ready to sleep.
Sui Yu gently pinched the little girl's face: "An Yan, don't sleep here, will you let brother carry you home to sleep?"
The little girl rubbed her eyes and made whimpering sounds, following Sui Yu's actions to let him carry her.
Ye Anning followed Sui Yu very naturally, wanting to see what the little An Yan looked like when she fell asleep.
Shen Nian also followed directly. Naturally, the others would not stay at Shen Nian's house by themselves, and they all followed to An Yan's home.
Qi Linhan's gaze suddenly swept over the grape following leisurely behind them. His eyes darkened and he turned to Sui Yu to say, "I have something to tell you guys later."
His voice was not intentionally lowered. Qiao Ze and the others around could also hear it.
Ye Anning frowned, feeling that it should be related to Lu Yunling.
When they arrived at An Yan's home, Liu Man saw the little girl sleeping in Sui Yu's arms. She just blinked at them and took An Yan upstairs without a word.
Sui Yu glanced back at them and said lightly, "Let's go to the backyard to talk about whatever you want to say."
Qi Linhan nodded and followed. As he passed the grape, he also grabbed it.
The grape rolled its eyes very helplessly, but didn't struggle.
Shen Nian asked anxiously: "What do you want to tell us?"
Qi Linhan didn't sound very happy: "Do you still remember what I said back then?"
"You always indiscriminately put the blame on her, even though she is the closest person to you, yet you have caused her the greatest harm."
When these words were brought up again by Qi Linhan, everyone's faces were not very good-looking.
After a long silence, Ye Anning asked hoarsely, "So what exactly is going on?"
Qi Linhan pressed his eyebrows: "I don't have any evidence. All I can say is that the things you thought An Yan did were probably not done by her at all."
His eyes turned cold: "I can only suspect that these things are all related to Lu Yunling."
Judging from An Yan and grape's reaction just now, it could be roughly guessed.
In fact, when he said this, the other people had already believed it, they just had a hard time accepting it for a moment.
After being reborn, they basically held the idea of changing An Yan. Thinking to prevent An Yan from doing those things again.
But they never thought that those things were not done by her at all.
Perhaps...they had thought about it before, but didn't dare think it through.
Because if An Yan really hadn't done those things, it would mean that they had driven an innocent, kind-hearted child to her death step by step.
