Zhu Yanyi finally understood. Cheng Chen definitely did not like that woman. But who was she, and what had she done to make her so disgusted? Although Cheng Chen was young, Zhu Yanyi remembered her being very polite. To show such open dislike meant the woman must have done something truly terrible.
Cheng Chen ignored the woman completely. She walked over and grabbed Zhu Yanyi’s hand. "Sister, come with me." Then she pulled her and ran.
"Brother, slow down. I can’t run fast," Zhu Yanyi panted. She had learned a little martial arts, but she was only five years old. Cheng Chen jumped around every day and was already eight. His speed was too fast for her.
"Then let’s walk slowly." Hearing Zhu Yanyi call her "Brother," Cheng Chen’s mouth split into a wide grin. She was very happy.
Cheng Chen didn’t care about his father nearby. He just pulled Zhu Yanyi into the house. Cheng Baokun looked helplessly at Zhu Shunyao and smiled. "That boy cries for a sister every day. Now his wish is granted."
Zhu Shunyao laughed. "It is good for a boy to have responsibility. It is your blessing, Factory Director."
"We will be family from now on. Don’t call me Factory Director. I am two years older than you. Call me Brother," Cheng Baokun said directly.
"Brother Baokun," Zhu Shunyao called him.
"Good. Come in, brother, sister-in-law. We have things to discuss inside." Cheng Baokun generously invited Zhu Shunyao and his wife inside. He completely ignored the woman from before.
Cheng Chen led Zhu Yanyi into the room. There were many people inside, all relatives of the Cheng family. It showed how much the Cheng family valued this godparent ceremony. Cheng Chen shouted, "Mom, Mom, Sister is here!"
"I heard your voice from far away." A teenager walked out. Cheng Chen blinked his eyes. "Brother, when did you get here?"
Cheng Xu was stunned. He tapped Cheng Chen’s head lightly with his finger. "I have been standing here the whole time. You ungrateful little one. I am your brother, and you just ignore me."
"Hehe," Cheng Chen laughed dryly. Then she pushed Zhu Yanyi forward. "Brother, this is our sister, Ani."
Cheng Xu looked at Cheng Chen with a half-smile. Then she examined Zhu Yanyi. Thanks to the Spirit Spring, Zhu Yanyi was not fat, but her figure was perfect. Her skin was especially delicate, white with a faint pink glow, like a ripe peach. She was very cute. Her face was not stunningly beautiful, but it looked very comfortable. Her eyes were clear and innocent. Although Cheng Xu was young, she had seen many people and things growing up in the Cheng family. She understood at once why her younger brother liked her. She was a very comfortable person. Being with her, one did not need to worry about being tricked. "Ani? Is your name Ani?"
Zhu Yanyi said seriously, "My nickname is Ani. My full name is Zhu Yanyi. Zhu as in 'words', Yan as in 'colorful', and Yi as in 'full of spirit'."
"You know idioms? So amazing." A woman walked out from the side. She looked about thirty years old, sharp but with a hint of kindness. Zhu Yanyi recognized her. It was Chen Ailian, Cheng Baokun’s wife.
"Zhu Yanyi. A good name. I am your eldest brother from now on. My name is Cheng Xu. Cheng Chen is my useless second brother." She pointed to Chen Ailian. "This is my mom. From now on, she is your godmother."
So direct. Zhu Yanyi was stunned by Cheng Xu’s words. Did she not know she was only five years old? She spoke so quickly.
