Mother would never take that sum of money back. Zhuang Nainai could buy herself one year’s worth of snacks with it.
As she thought of this, her heart wrenched slightly.
She thought about how, every time she asked Mother for a red packet, Mother would always be smiling.
Every mother is probably like this. Although they complain about their children, they would still spend money on their children ever so willingly and gladly.
She looked down. Just as she was in a daze, another red packet suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
Taken aback, Zhuang Nainai looked up, only to see Ding Mengya looking at her with a tinge of carefulness in her gaze. She also said cautiously, “This is…… for the children.”
As Zhuang Nainai stared at the red packet, she was stunned.
She was reminded of Mother Zhuang, so she did not accept the red packet immediately.
The atmosphere in the room became tensed suddenly.
While Zhuang Nainai was still recollecting her memories and unable to snap back to reality, another hand appeared in front of her. Si Zhengting took the red packet. “I have to take a look at how much you have given your grandson and granddaughter.”
Before even opening the red packet, Si Zhengting frowned. “Madam Ding, do you care to explain why the sum of money in this red packet is twice of mine and Sister’s?”
With furrowed brows, he stared at Ding Mengya as if he was very vexed.
However, seeing him like this made Zhuang Nainai feel like he was a child asking for a sweet.
Ding Mengya couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “Because there are two children in Nainai’s womb!”
Si Zhengting raised his brows and did not say anything anymore. Instead, he turned to look at Zhuang Nainai.
He had taken the red packet because he had to act as the mediator between Zhuang Nainai and Ding Mengya.
At the moment, Zhuang Nainai did not want to accept the red packet, so he just kept it on behalf of their children.
Just as Si Zhengting thought of this, Zhuang Nainai suddenly reached out and snatched the red packet from his hand. She even looked down with a smile and patted her bump. “Babies, you must remember that this Grandma is your biological Grandma~ The two of you already have a red packet before you guys are born~”
As soon as she said this, Ding Mengya’s eyes welled up. She immediately turned her head over and turned back only after a while.
Zhuang Nainai glanced at Si Zhengting with a very materialistic gaze. “You already have so much. Why are you stealing our babies’? The babies’ red packet is my red packet. I will keep it on behalf of them.”
After saying this, she shoved the red packet into a big pocket of her pajamas.
She had just put the red packet inside her pocket when another red packet was handed toward her.
Taken aback, Zhuang Nainai looked up. Then, Ding Mengya said, “Nainai, this…… is for you.”
She sounded extremely cautious, yet there was still a tinge of anticipation in her voice.
When she said that the red packet was for the children, Si Zhengting could still take it to lighten the mood if Zhuang Nainai rejected it. At least, this Chinese New Year wouldn’t become too awkward. However, that was only her way of testing the waters.
She only dared to give Zhuang Nainai this one after she accepted that.
If Zhuang Nainai hadn’t accepted that one, she probably wouldn’t have given her this.
Zhuang Nainai saw through Ding Mengya’s plan instantly. She suddenly felt that she actually wasn’t as carefree as she seemed. She was actually a very thoughtful person. If the incident five years ago did not happen, they would probably get along well, wouldn’t they?
Taking in a deep breath, Zhuang Nainai knew that she shouldn’t accept this red packet before she even knew whether Mother Zhuang was alive or safe or not. However, she could not do such a heartless thing, seeing the gaze coming from Ding Mengya and Si Zhengting.
