Chapter 15: You Offended Me Today
Li Manor.
In the bedroom.
Lanlan was wearing a beautiful dress, tossing one toy after another like a fairy scattering her treasures. Soon, the toys were scattered all over the floor.
With each toss, she would twirl happily, holding up her skirt.
Coco was infuriated and angrily asked, "Why are you doing this?"
Lanlan blinked her big eyes and arrogantly replied, "Because I like it."
Coco laughed in anger, "Just because you like it, you think you can do whatever you want? Do you think you're an empress? No, even an empress wouldn't behave like this. Let me tell you, you've crossed the line today, and the consequences will be severe, do you understand?"
Lanlan twirled her skirt again, not caring at all, and giggled, "Oh well, if I've crossed the line, so be it. What can you do to me?"
In the past, she was the one bullying Dingding, and Dingding could do nothing but be cold towards her. Moreover, her mommy always protected her.
Coco's face turned red as he gritted his teeth. He finally understood the cunning nature of this little troublemaker.
Yesterday, he called Xiaoxiao and asked her to bring Dingding back from the Arcade Center. From Xiaoxiao, he learned that Dingding had been bullied by a girl named Lanlan and left home after being slapped by her in anger.
Hmph, little troublemaker!
I'm not Dingding. Let's see how long you can be arrogant!
"Lanlan, I command you to pick up all the toys and put them away," Coco ordered Lanlan, starting to count, "One, two, three..."
Lanlan shrugged, looking at him with disdain, "What's the point? Wait until Mommy comes back, you're in big trouble."
But before she could finish her sentence, Coco rushed towards her like a ghost and pushed her onto the bed, raising his chubby hand to spank her bottom, "I'll teach you a lesson for bullying others and making a mess with my toys. Let's see if you dare to do it again."
"Ouch! It hurts!" Lanlan cried loudly, grabbing at her bottom, struggling to catch her breath.
The butler and servants outside were in a panic.
"What's going on? Get the spare key to open the door!" Soon, the calm and imposing voice of Li Zhenting echoed from outside.
Coco was taken aback. Uh-oh, his deadbeat dad was back!
He quickly thought of a plan, rolled over on the floor, and started crying loudly.
The door opened, and Li Zhenting strode in, his tall figure exuding a chilling aura.
In the bedroom.
Toys were scattered everywhere, and two little treasures, one lying on the bed gasping for breath and the other rolling on the floor, crying incessantly.
Li Zhenting's face tensed as he walked over, grabbing Lanlan and questioning her, "Lanlan, I didn't scold you last night, yet you still went too far, bullying Dingding again. Do you think I won't discipline you?"
Lanlan opened her mouth, angry and anxious, her little face turning purple.
Only heaven knew how unjust she felt. Although she had started the trouble this time, she hadn't gained any advantage. Instead, she got a spanking.
But her dad was too terrifying at the moment. She didn't dare say a word.
"Zhenting, don't scare the child. She doesn't know any better..." Shen Mei hurriedly ran over, hugged Lanlan in her arms, and Lanlan immediately cried loudly in her embrace.
"You, be quiet." Li Zhenting's eyes were cold as he sternly warned Shen Mei, "Don't think I don't know what happened yesterday. Lanlan slapped Dingding."
Shen Mei opened her mouth but dared not speak.
She certainly understood her daughter's willfulness.
By now, Coco had been picked up by the servants.
He wiped his tears and, with a childish voice, approached Li Zhenting, tugging at his large hand and pleaded, "Daddy, she's just a child. Just scold her a little. She'll change in the future."
Li Zhenting looked at Dingding's pitiful and sensible appearance, sighed, and picked him up. He said to Shen Mei, "Today, Lanlan will stand in the corner for an hour. You need to educate her properly. If this kind of thing happens again, the punishment won't be so light."
After speaking, he carried Coco and walked towards the study.
