Chapter 396: Being a Stepmother Is Hard (2)

"Good riddance—who told her to come to our house and play stepmother?"

"Exactly, exactly."

Li Jiajia remained silent.

Back in her room, she stood on the balcony and lit a cigarette.

Downstairs, the sound of Cai Yingxue playing the piano drifted up. She was playing a song titled "Dream Mother," surely on purpose.

By evening, Cai Minjun came home.

The house finally became lively.

All three children rushed toward Cai Minjun, each more eager than the last.

Cai Yingxue said she'd learned a cheerful tune today called "Joyful Song" and planned to play it for Cai Minjun after dinner.

Cai Minjun praised her: "That's right. At home, we should play joyful songs so everyone stays happy, am I right?"

Because Cai Yingxue often played songs that mourned her mother before, she'd been scolded by Cai Minjun several times.

"I understand, Dad," Cai Yingxue replied.
