Chapter 161: Welcome to a life of luxury our Mingzhu.
When the living room doors were opened, little Mingzhu’s eyes were widened. She was old enough to recall that every time she went to a gathering like this, filled with adults, trouble always found her and her mother.
She looked from the many relatives to her mother. Her small hand reached out and tugged at Mei Mei’s shirt. "Mommy, they are many. Why?" She asked, her big eyes filled with caution.
Mei Mei leaned towards her with a reassuring smile. "We have a big family, mommy’s family. You have met some of them before when mommy was in the hospital. Do you remember them?"
She bit her bottom lip and nodded slowly. "Mommy, how many relatives do we have?"
Mei Mei decided to just mention the number of people in her family chat group. "Mmm, like eighty three."
"EIGHTY THREE!" Mingzhu’s tiny fists clenched. It was such a big number, the same as all the babies in her former kindergarten put together and more than the ones in her new class.
Suddenly, someone shrieked and Mingzhu was ambushed and ripped out of Jingzhe’s arms by great grandpa Jun. "My great great great granddaughter. Our Mingzhu, you have grown so much!"
Chi Zimo snatched her from him, put her down and squeezed her cheeks like she was a stress ball. "Wow, Mei Mei, this is like seeing a young you. She looks so much like you."
Before Mingzhu could complain about the old grandma style of cheek pinching, Chi Rui lifted her up with a single hand and spun her in the air. "Our Mingzhu, you are so tall for your age, no wonder you are a general." [He was lying, she was not tall. In fact, she was short for her age.]
She was liberated and found herself in the embrace of great grandma Jun. "Good girl, call great great grandma."
Her little head was turned to grandma Chi. "Baby, those are too many words, just call great grandma."
