Ye Ling remained silent, as if she hadn't noticed anything.
On the other side, the child couldn't wait any longer, constantly tugging at his mother for candies, leaving only the sound of the child asking for candies in the room. Wang Ping glanced at Ye Ling and pulled her son over to deliver two harsh slaps on his back.
She cursed, "I told you to eat sweets, and you're just so shallow-eyed. Can't you see others are quiet, yet you're still asking."
The child didn't understand this; seeing no candies and being hit by his mother, he began to cry loudly. Suddenly, the room was filled with cries, and in this makeshift shelter that's hardly soundproof, this ruckus was likely heard by everyone around.
Shen Chun looked fearful, her mouth open as if she wanted to speak but dared not, saying to Ye Ling, "Sister-in-law, it wasn't intentional…."
