Guide the Villain Father to Be Virtuous - Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Bullying (4)

“She pinched our faces! Last time I squeezed the faces of other little girls, Mom, didn’t you say that I was bullying them?”

“…”

“So, if you disagree with me pinching your face, it’s bullying. But you… agreeing to pinch your face is not bullying you. So I didn’t bully you, understand? You have to apologize to me,” Huo Xiaoxiao struggled to explain.

The faces of the little boys turned red.

In this way, the parents of several children were also embarrassed, and their faces were full of shame. “I’m sorry, Mr. Huo. We were too impatient to blame Little Miss Huo, sorry. Chenchen, please apologize.”

“Sorry.”

“Sorry.”

“Sorry.”

The faces of several little boys flushed.

Huo Xiaoxiao looked at Yi Qian, but he did not speak.

He still remembered that Huo Xiaoxiao hadn’t taught him Rubik’s Cube properly and refused to apologize.

Huo Suicheng didn’t say anything and stroked Huo Xiaoxiao’s back. “Are you tired?”

Huo Xiaoxiao yawned and nodded.

It was pretty boring here with these childish kids.

Huo Suicheng didn’t wait for the end of the banquet but left early on the excuse of something.

On the way home, Huo Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but ask Huo Suicheng, “Daddy, aren’t you going to ask me?”

“Ask you what?”

“About bullying.”

Huo Suicheng looked at her, his tone uncaring. “Bullying is fine. You’re a child.”

‘…is it really right to teach children this way?’

If you bullied someone without asking why or guiding positively, were you not afraid of being poorly taught by your father?

Luckily, she had an adult mind; if it were any other kid, they might have grown up arrogant and overbearing.

“But how come I never knew you could play Rubik’s Cube?”

Huo Xiaoxiao’s face stiffened. She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep to escape the question. “Daddy, I’m sleepy. I want to sleep.”

Seeing her eyebrows tremble, Huo Suicheng laughed helplessly.

Ever since Huo Xiaoxiao became a child, she had the same excuse.

When Huo Suicheng and Huo Xiaoxiao arrived at the Huo Mansion, the banquet at the Yi family’s main mansion also ended.

After sending the guests off in good spirits, Yi Yang and Xu Xinyi asked Yi Qian what was going on in the room tonight.

“Yi Qian, tell Mom what happened tonight? Did Xiaoxiao bully you?”

Yi Qian thought about it and said, “I was playing Rubik’s Cube, and she could also play. I wanted her to teach me, but she said she wanted to pinch my face before she taught me. So I let her do it.”

“And then what?”

“And then I didn’t learn, and she taught me again, but I still couldn’t. I didn’t want her to go. I wanted her to keep teaching me, but she wouldn’t. So we didn’t let her go.”

“And then what happened?”

“Later, she agreed to teach me, but we had to let her pinch our faces. They became red in the end.”

“So, Huo Xiaoxiao didn’t bully you guys?”

Yi Qian shook his head.

“Then why didn’t you just say so?”

“You didn’t ask me. Besides, she said she would teach me to play Rubik’s Cube, but I haven’t learned it yet.”

“Xiaoxiao is right… The Rubik’s Cube can’t be learned in a short time. You wronged her today, do you know? You said she pinched your face, but you didn’t say why she pinched your face, and you also didn’t say you let her pinch it. You lied about this, and you wronged her.”

Yi Qian was slightly stunned.

“It’s like the last time Daddy wrongly accused you of sneaking the eggs away without asking why you threw them away and said you were a lying child.”

“I didn’t secretly throw away the eggs!” When two things were mentioned together, Yi Qian seemed to have some empathy and understanding. “Then… what should I do?”

“The last time Daddy wronged you, what did he do?”

Yi Qian looked at Yi Yang. “Daddy apologized to me.”

“What else?”

“Bought me a present.”

“So?”

“I have to apologize to Huo Xiaoxiao and buy her gifts as an apology.”

“That’s right! A man should know his mistakes and correct them. Not to mention that Xiaoxiao is younger than you, she is your little sister. As an older brother, you have to take care of her. Well, after your grandfather’s birthday, it will be your birthday in two days. When the time comes, we’ll invite Xiaoxiao to come to your birthday. You can give her a gift in person and apologize to her, OK?”

Yi Qian’s eyes looked at Xu Xinyi uneasily. “Will she… come again?”

“You’ll know if she’ll come when you call her yourself and invite her to her birthday in two days.”

Yi Qian nodded his head.

Yi Yang made a call to the Huo family.

When the call came through, Yi Qian held the telephone, plucked up his courage, and said, “Uncle, I’m looking for Huo Xiaoxiao.”

Hearing a laugh on the other end of the phone, a kind voice asked him slowly, “Find Xiaoxiao? Who are you?”

“I’m Yi Qian.”

“So you’re the little kid from the Yi family? Wait a minute, Xiaoxiao will be right over.”

“Well, I’m not in a hurry.” Yi Qian sat on the couch with his back straight, one small hand holding the telephone while the other was unconsciously clasped on the couch cushions. He listened with rapt attention to the movement coming from the phone.

He was a little nervous.

He knew it was not good to be hurt, as he had almost cried when his father wronged him.

Huo Xiaoxiao perhaps cried too.

“Hello?” Huo Xiaoxiao’s milky voice came from the phone.

Yi Qian pursed his lips, his little face instantly turned red, and he said out loud in a rush, “I… I’m Yi Qian. In two days on my birthday, I want… I want to invite you to my house.”

“Oh.”

An emotionless ‘oh’ made Yiqian instantly lose confidence, and he asked in a low voice, “Will you… will you come?”

“I don’t know.”

Yi Qian was a little discouraged.

“I’ll… I’ll wait for you on my birthday.” After speaking, he hurriedly wanted to hang up, but he couldn’t help putting the telephone on his ear again and say, “You must come!”

Finished, he hung up the phone.

“Did she say yes?”

Yi Qian wasn’t quite sure. “She said she didn’t know.”

“It’s OK. It’s still a few days before your birthday. You’re going to pick out a gift for her.”

“Mm.” Yi Qian nodded heavily.

He reluctantly picked his favorite model car from his secret base.

He wanted to give this car model to Huo Xiaoxiao and say sorry to her.

On his birthday, the whole old house was decorated with balloons and ribbons, and a lot of friends came to celebrate his birthday.

That night, he placed the gift on his bedside table and solemnly said to it, “Huo Xiaoxiao, I’m sorry.”

He always remembered that he owed Huo Xiaoxiao a gift and an apology, which he would definitely pay when he saw her again.
