Hearing the ntion of her two sons, Yang Chuxia busily waved at them.
Yangyang managed to get off the chair by himself, wiggling his little bottom down without the help of Ming Liu, while Lele, being lazy, didn’t want to wiggle down by himself. He stretched out both hands towards Li’s mother, waiting for her to help him down before slowly walking up to Yang Chuxia.
"Lele, Yangyang, that lady there is Aunt Zhou. Go, say hello to Aunt Zhou."
Madam Zhou watched the two children and estimated they were just over a year old, yet they walked quite well. However, it is often said that children who walk early tend to speak late.
Was Madam Ye joking by having these two children greet her? Could they say one word or two?
Upon hearing their mother’s words, Lele and Yangyang took each other’s hands and walked up to Madam Zhou.
"Hello, Aunt Zhou!"
"Hello, Aunt Zhou!"
The two children greeted her in unison, their voices loud and clear, which took Madam Zhou aback for a mont.
She then laughed, "Good, good, hello to you too."
She casually asked, "Lele and Yangyang, right? Which one of you is Little Lele?"
Lele glanced indifferently at her and said, "I am Lele, and this is my brother Yangyang!" Not only did he introduce himself, but he also introduced Yangyang.
Madam Zhou was impressed inwardly; the child spoke very clearly and intelligently.
"Madam Ye, how old are your two young masters exactly?"
"One year, one month, and ten days!"
"Oh, so young and already speaking so fluently," Madam Zhou was genuinely surprised this ti. She had seen her fair share of children about a year old; most of them could only say simple words like daddy or mommy, and even then, only with adult guidance. But the little one before her had clearly spoken on his own.
"The children started speaking early; they could talk at just over seven months." Yang Chuxia didn’t hide this fact.
"That early?" Most kids would be at least eight months old.
Madam Zhou thought to herself that the Ye Family’s children were indeed smart and adorable.
Seeing that she had nothing more to say, Lele and Yangyang returned to their chairs, although Lele took a few more glances at her.
In his young mind, it seed that the ladies who had also been called "aunts" had given them sothing in days before. This lady was an aunt too, so why hadn’t she given them anything? Well, he didn’t yet understand those were called eting gifts and also didn’t know that not everyone cares about keeping up appearances and observing etiquette.
"Indeed, these two do speak quite early."
After a little while, Madam Zhou couldn’t stand seeing Yang Chuxia’s pride any longer. It’s human nature; when you’ve done nothing at all but excel in all aspects compared to her, she becos envious and looks for ways to make you uncomfortable. And that was precisely what Madam Zhou was like.
"By the way, why haven’t we seen your cousin sister around?"
She was referring to Cao Lingling, whose intentions had been clear to everyone; that’s why she brought her up deliberately, to make Yang Chuxia feel awkward. After all, they are relatives; even if one feels unsatisfied inside, one has to bear it.
Yang Chuxia chuckled inwardly; finally, she wasn’t pretending to be friendly anymore.
"Ming Liu, go and get the cousin sister!"
"Yes!"
Before Ming Liu could bring the person, Madam Zhou deliberately found sothing to say, "Speaking of which, your cousin sister is quite a beauty, and she seems well-mannered and articulate. However, you’ve been away in Mianyang all this ti, and a male and a female cousin living under the sa roof, even if nothing is happening and even with maids and old won around, it’s still not appropriate. These days, I’ve been hearing quite a lot of idle talk about your family." While saying this, she sneakily observed Yang Chuxia’s expression, and upon seeing so displeasure, she secretly smiled.
