Chapter 1235: Chapter 1139: Inciting the Child to be a Lobbyist

Xia Yangyang felt a pang of heartache when she saw such a young child sigh.

Suddenly, Xingxing turned around, “Aunt Yangyang, can you help my mom? I hope my dad and mom can be together.”

Xia Yangyang appeared very troubled, “But I don’t know how to help you.”

Gu Qichen also walked in from the doorway.

He had heard everything they were discussing clearly.

Xingxing said, “I want a complete family. Aunt Yangyang, you are my mom’s friend and also my dad’s friend. You must have a way, right?”

Xia Yangyang felt extremely troubled.

But Xingxing’s eyes were filled with childlike innocence.

He seemed naive, but his longing was hard to bear.

At that moment, Gu Qichen came over.

Gu Qichen directly asked, “Xingxing, who taught you to say these things?”

Xingxing blinked, “Uncle Gu, no one taught me. I said it myself.”

Gu Qichen sat down on a nearby small sofa and took Xingxing’s hand, “If you don’t tell the truth, we can’t help you. Also, you are best friends with Xia Ye, aren’t you? Xia Ye never befriends dishonest children.”

After hearing this, Xingxing’s expression changed, and then he looked down and said, “It was my mom who taught me.”

Xia Yangyang suddenly felt a jolt inside.

She had not expected this at all.

But after Gu Qichen asked this question, Xia Yangyang realized something seemed off.

These words had actually been taught by Gong Xue’er.

A chill ran through Xia Yangyang.

So, was Gong Xue’er using her child as a tool, a bargaining chip to manipulate her?

Xia Yangyang suddenly remembered.

Earlier in the kitchen, Gong Xue’er had sought reconciliation and hoped Xia Yangyang would speak with Lu Haotian.

Xia Yangyang could not understand how Gong Xue’er could think of such a plan.

How could she conceive the idea of involving her?

It was utterly ludicrous.

Naturally, Xia Yangyang would not agree.

Xia Yangyang thought that this would be the end of the matter.

But she hadn’t anticipated Gong Xue’er’s next move.

Her next move was using Xingxing, manipulating the child with the idea of a complete family, coaxing him to speak these words.

But what does a child know?

Xingxing could only understand with his own thinking.

Gong Xue’er had never considered the damage her words could inflict on the child.

Putting all that aside for a moment,

Just the use of Xingxing was something Xia Yangyang found unacceptable.

Xia Yangyang felt that no matter what happened, children were the bottom line.

How could she use a four- or five-year-old child for her own selfish desires?

Xingxing’s eyes still held such purity.

Facing Xingxing’s face, Xia Yangyang felt at a loss for words.

Xingxing still looked innocent, his voice soft as he said, “Aunt Yangyang, I didn’t mean to deceive you. It’s just that my mom said not to say it was her idea. Actually… actually, I don’t want to lie either. But mom said only if we do this would dad marry her, and then I could go to school and live together with mom and dad like other kids.”

Xia Yangyang said, “Xingxing, no matter the circumstances, lying is always wrong. Your dad and your mom’s issues are something no one else can help with; they have to resolve it themselves–it’s an adult matter. But no matter what, your dad still loves you a lot. You need to believe that.”
