As expected, Ruan Guosheng did not stop Bao'er from crying by throwing the tangerine at him; instead, he made him cry even harder.
Second Ruan Aunt and Ming Li were both distressed, and they wiped away the remnants of the tangerine from Bao'er's forehead.
"Hubby, don't treat Bao'er like this. He is still a child..."
"Child, child! You know that he is a child, yet you don't keep a proper eye on him! You are two grown adults, and you still can't watch him! I won't believe that he simply went and threw the fruit platter at Ling Tianya!"
Second Ruan Aunt and Ming Li both fell silent. The boy had not simply thrown the fruit platter at Ling Tianya but had first stolen the tangerines from her. If they had stopped him then and told him that that was wrong, then perhaps the other things wouldn't have happened.
However, it was too late to regret that now. The pot had already begun fermenting.
