Chapter 512 Skillful Dabao
Here he comes again! I knew he was up to something the moment he called. He is just a kid. How could he set traps like this?
“How could you say that I’m separating your family? It has nothing to do with me.” Nan Xing was confused.
“Even though Grandma is the one who asks for Daddy, if you watch and do nothing to help, you’re indirectly separating us!” Dabao responded.
Erbao, who was next to Dabao, gave her brother a thumbs up. He is so smart. I would never think of saying that.
“Kid, don’t you try to put the blame on me. Just say what you want directly. Stop beating around the bush!” Nan Xing scolded.
“I’m not beating anything. I’m just asking you to meet Grandma on Daddy’s behalf and find out what Grandma wants. That’s all. I couldn’t be clearer about this.”
“I knew you were up to something. And I couldn’t be clearer about this either. I don’t want to go, and I have nothing to talk to her.”
“If you don’t agree to it, it means you want to separate us!” Dabao was beyond exasperated.
“How could you say that? Your grandma wants to see your daddy. Just ask him not to go then.” Nan Xing was losing his patience.
“Grandma asks to meet at the hotel. We want to find out why. We can only find out if you go personally. You said that you loved us. Yet, you don’t want to help us but choose to do nothing. It is not different than separating us. If we get separated, Mommy will have no choice but to take us to go overseas again. By then, you won’t be able to see us again. Will you be happy with that?”
Dabao questioned Nan Xing with a pitiful tone. Nan Xing suddenly felt a massive pressure on his shoulders.
It sounds like I will regret it if I don’t agree to help now.
“You can play games and drink some other time. Could you please help my sister and me for this one time?” Dabao continued to put pressure on Nan Xing.
“Ah, dang it. Fine. I’ll go. If I don’t, I bet you’ll define me as the worst criminal.” Nan Xing sounded utterly displeased.
“Thank you, Uncle Xing. Don’t forget to wear a black suit. Plus, please try to speak maturely while having a conversation and try to act like Daddy. “Dabao was beyond delighted.
“What do you mean by that? Are you saying that I’m immature? Do you still want me to help you?” Nan Xing was angered.
“It’s my bad. Uncle Xing, you are such a mature man. I believe you can act perfectly like Daddy. Let’s keep in touch…”
Before Dabao could finish his sentence, Ning Ran’s voice came from outside. “Dabao, what are you doing hiding in the room?”
“Uncle Xing, I got to go. We are counting on you.”
The second Dabao hung up his phone, Ning Ran came into the room.
“Why are you both hiding here? You are playing on the phone secretly, aren’t you?” Ning Ran shouted.
“No, I am teaching Erbao history,” Dabao lied.
“That’s right.” Erbao immediately nodded her head.
“Really?” Ning Ran eyed them suspiciously.
Even though the two kids were smart, they were her children after all.
She could tell easily if they were telling the truth.
Dabao was not that obvious as he looked composed. Erbao, on the other hand, seemed extremely nervous.
“Yes,” Dabao and Erbao responded simultaneously.
“Then what history did Dabao teach you?” Ning Ran questioned Erbao.
“Hmm… It’s about…” Erbao immediately responded.
“Don’t try to lie to me! Tell me now. What exactly were you guys doing here?” Ning Ran scolded.
Erbao could not hold it together anymore as she shifted her gaze toward Dabao.
“It’s nothing, Mommy. I’ve made a call to Uncle Xing and asked him for a favor.” Dabao still seemed utterly composed.
“What is it about?”
“I can’t tell you about that. But I promise it is nothing bad.” Dabao looked utterly serious.
Naturally, Ning Ran believed Dabao as he had always been a good kid. He seldom created trouble for Ning Ran.
“All right then. Don’t play phone games. If Erbao keeps staring at the phone, her eyesight will turn bad!” Ning Ran reminded.
“Don’t worry. I will keep an eye on Erbao. I won’t let her play with the phone.”
“Okay. Then I will continue to cook.”
After Ning Ran walked out of the room, Dabao and Erbao exchanged glances and heaved a sigh of relief.
“Dabao, if anyone finds out about this, will you let me face it alone?” Erbao asked worriedly.
“Never.”
“Then why did you pretend to be me when Grandma called just now?” Erbao was still brooding over it.
“I’ve told you. You are more persuasive to Grandma. Stop thinking about this. I promise I will be fully responsible.” Dabao sounded like a real man.
“Okay, I trust you.” Erbao nodded.
Just then, someone came again. It was Nan Chen this time.
He did not hear the kids’ voices in the living room, so he asked Ning Ran to check it out. After Ning Ran did that, he was still concerned, so he went personally to check on the kids.
“Why is my phone here?” Nan Chen glanced at Erbao.
Like Ning Ran, he suspected Erbao was secretly playing on his phone.
“It wasn’t me. Dabao was the one who took it.” Erbao promptly clarified herself.
“Grandma called just now, and I answered it,” Dabao admitted right away.
“Really? What did she say?”
“She asked if you had eaten. If not, she would like to eat with you,” Dabao said.
“And? How did you reply her?” Nan Chen questioned.
“Grandma doesn’t like Mommy, so I did not dare to say that you’re with Mommy. I told her that you were busy and could not make it,” Dabao elaborated.
“Okay. It’s fine then.” Nan Chen nodded.
“Then I called Uncle Xing and asked him to go over there. I was worried that Grandma might be lonely to eat alone. So I asked Uncle Xing to accompany her,” Dabao added.
Nan Chen felt somehow peculiar. How could he be so thoughtful? However, he has always been a good kid.
“Is there anything else?”
“No. Uncle Xing has agreed to go,” Dabao answered obediently.
“Good. Then I’ll return to the kitchen.”
As soon as Nan Chen walked out, his phone vibrated again. It was a call from Bai Hua.
“Grandma, I’m Erbao,” Dabao answered the phone.
Erbao was rendered speechless by that. Why is he still pretending to be me? Is he trying to put the blame on me?
“Why is it you again? Where is your daddy? Why didn’t he call me back?” Bai Hua shouted.
“Daddy already went out. He forgot to bring his phone,” Dabao replied.
“Is he already out? Why didn’t I see him? Where did you tell him to go?”
“Nanting No.1 Hotel’s presidential room A888,” Dabao responded.
“Okay, that’s right. If he is already on the way, it’s fine then.” Bai Hua hung up after that.
