"Control your daughter! What does she mean by her mother's inheritance? We agreed that everything in the family would go to Lil Tian. Lil Tian is your flesh and blood. Your daughter will go to another family when she marries one day," the woman snapped.
"That's enough. People will make fun of us if you go on!" The man comforted the woman.
The little girl turned around and put her hand on the little boy's face, which was slapped. Her face was full of distress as she asked, "Does it hurt?"
Ling Yiran did not see the little boy's expression but saw him shake his head, presumably telling the little girl he was not in pain.
Looking at the siblings, Ling Yiran could not help but feel distressed.
From the conversation earlier, it was obvious that the woman was the two children’s stepmother. Her biological child was the chubby one called Lil Tian.
The girl and boy must be the children the husband had with his ex-wife.
The two seemed close. When the little boy was slapped by his stepmother, the little girl stood up for him and tried her best to protect him. When the stepmother wanted to slap the little girl, the little boy suddenly turned aggressive.
However... the children were too young! They would probably suffer in a family like this.
One could tell by the way the little girl and the little boy were dressed. They did not seem to be children of the same family compared to the way Lil Tian was dressed.
