The old man stopped his wife.
He had also noticed Luo Bing's problems.
How had Luo Cheng taught him? This child couldn't even say the word "thank you"? He doesn't apologize when he makes mistakes, and doesn't say thank you when he should. Such a child could only live in an ivory tower; if he had to live on his own outside, the consequences would be unpredictable.
In any case, nothing good would come of it.
It was good that Lin Xiao was here to play the tough guy.
Today's incident involved only family members. If it were outsiders, even a simple dispute would take a lot of time. Losing money was a minor issue; the real concern was the escalation of conflict.
"He's just a child!"
The old lady couldn't bear it.
However, among everyone present, only the old lady felt this way.
The old man's expression was very stern. He had decided that he would not let this matter with Luo Bing slide. From now on, he would ensure this was the last time.
Luo Bing cried for a long time. He then realized that no matter how much he wailed, nothing happened.
Unlike before, his parents didn't come to comfort him, his grandparents didn't fuss over him, and his great-grandparents didn't react.
He just cried there.
It didn't work anymore.
Lin Xiao sat beside him with a stern face. Xun'er kept her distance from him, and Luo Buyu's family acted as if they saw nothing.
"Are you done crying?"
Lin Xiao's voice rang out.
Hearing his voice, which was devoid of any emotion, Luo Bing was taken aback. He didn't understand. He looked up at Lin Xiao, wondering why his parents and aunts and uncles always comforted him, bought him toys and snacks when he cried, but now... there was nothing?
He felt his worldview collapsing.
"If you're done crying, then start from the basics. Come, say 'thank you'." Lin Xiao continued to press.
This time, Luo Bing, with his five-year-old mind, seemed to understand the situation. He tilted his head, then looked at the old lady and said, "Thank you."
"That's right. Eat."
Lin Xiao nodded, as if it were over.
However, not long after they started eating, Lin Xiao began again: "Luo Bing, pay attention when you eat. Don't spill food everywhere."
"Don't watch cartoons while eating!"
"Don't spit garbage!"
Lin Xiao tirelessly corrected Luo Bing's bad habits, again and again. The rest of the family finished eating, but Luo Bing, with tears in his eyes and biting his lip, could only obediently follow Lin Xiao's instructions, step by step.
"Mommy, Luo Bing Gege is so stupid."
Xun'er ran into Luo Qinghan's arms. Usually, she would be by Lin Xiao's side at this time, but Lin Xiao was clearly busy and had no time. So, she nestled into Luo Qinghan's embrace. She looked at Luo Bing, who was being constantly educated by Lin Xiao, and blinked her eyes.
Hearing Xun'er's words, Luo Bing felt even more humiliated. He covered his face, then cried out loudly and rushed out.
"Bing Bing!"
Seeing this, the old lady cried out anxiously and prepared to rush out.
"Grandma, don't worry." Lin Xiao stopped her. "Don't worry, everything is under my control. He won't get lost."
"Then why aren't you chasing after him!"
The old lady pointed at Lin Xiao. "Are you happy now?!"
