Hearing what Doris said, Lina, standing next to Doris, was so embarrassed that she couldn't keep the smile on her face.
Lina and Bright were both sensitive, and they could sense Doris's hostility toward Lina.
Bright squatted down and took Doris's hand. "Daddy grew up with Auntie Lina. She's like my own sister, so it is fine to call her aunt."
"Dad, since you grew up with her, I think it is fine to call her sister." Doris deliberately treated Lina as her generation, so that she would separate Lina and her dad, "Dad, look how young sister Lina is. It sounds too old to call her aunt."
Bright felt helpless about Doris, and said, "You are..."
Doris was just a child, and it wasn't surprised that she cared about much.
Doris didn't care about what her dad said, "What's wrong with me?"
Her innocent eyes rolled, as if to say, "Did I interrupt you two?"
Bright pinched her tiny nose and said softly, "Go over the couch and read."
Doris, of course, was unwilling to do so, "Daddy, does mom know sister Lina?"
Lina answered, "I just came back from abroad and missed your father so much, so I came from City J to City H to see your father. Your father and I have known each other since we were kids, and we had been close. We are like family, so you and I are family."
"You and I are unrelated by blood; how can you be my family?" Doris did not want to be in the family with Lina. Any woman who wanted to be with her father was her mother's rival in love and her enemy. Doris answered back, "Family should have blood relations, shouldn't it?"
"Doris, your father and mother don't have blood relations, are they family?" Lina was displeased by the little girl who went against her, so she said it on purpose.
Lina thought this would leave Doris speechless, but Doris disappointed her. The little retorted, "They're not related by blood, but they're legally related, and they're lovers. And what about you? You are related by law or by blood?"
Doris's big black and white eyes lit up with a sweet smile.
Who could have thought that this five-year-old girl would be so articulate as to answer Lina back, and left her embarrassed?
Lina was speechless for a moment. She gritted her teeth, and couldn't imagine how she was embarrassed by a five-year-old girl.
She took deep breaths to calm herself down, "I'm not related to your father by law or by blood, but I am family in his heart, and that's enough."
The people in heart were the most important. Lina got a nice shot.
"My father's heart is full of my mother and me, and there is no room for you, sister, so don't cry." Doris stretched out her hand and asked, "Dad, you love me and mom most, don't you?"
"Yes, I love you and your mother most." Bright answered Doris's question, implied to tell Lina that they were not kids anymore.
Lina knew what Bright meant, and she was very sad about his directness.
