"Justin, Major General Ouyang fought against me for daddy," the little girl complained in between sobs. Her nose was red and her eyes were still wet with tears. She looked adorable. Since her most prominent backer had arrived, she cried even harder. Moreover, she wiped her tears and snot with his white shirt. That kind of privilege only belonged to Jasmine. Anyone else who did that to Justin would be very likely to come to regret their decisions quickly as they were beaten black and blue.
"Let's give daddy to her for now. Let me play with you instead, okay?" Justin asked in a soothing voice while wiping her tears away. Just as Leena had observed, Justin loved his sister even more than Duke loved Leena.
"Hmm! Jasmine wants to go horseback riding with you, brother!" the little girl smiled even when her eyes were still moist and red after her brother's offer. After all, she was only a kid.
"Ah! "Why on earth would you want to play that again!" Justin felt helpless before his supreme little sister. Being a gentle and sophisticated individual, he had to satisfy his sister by playing her favorite game - horseback riding. Only in her version, Justin was the horse. He had to lie prone with a hunched back and let her ride on his back. Edward secretly took pleasure in Justin's misfortune, because the little girl didn't want anybody else to play the horse.
Daisy tried suppressing her laugh with her hand over her mouth to no avail. The scene unfolding before her was too funny. Her regal and sophisticated son, a prodigy and genius, on his knees on the ground playing horseback with a little girl whose smile could reach the heavens. As long as nobody fought her for her husband, she didn't care whom the little girl brought disaster to.
When years went by the time came for Jasmine to attend primary school, she grew up to become even prettier. She was lively and outgoing, and devilishly charming as well. She made friends in droves in her class and other sections in her grade. Her popularity was mainly due to how Daisy educated and disciplined her daughter. Although Jasmine was a girl, Daisy didn't want to treat her like a rare flower in the garden. Instead, she applied some of her spartan military training but also gave her freedom to explore her environment. As a result, Jasmine was set on the path to become an iron lady.
This was to the dismay of Edward and Justin, but neither of them dared challenge Daisy's parenting decisions. In the Mu Family, Major General Ouyang had the final say in bringing up the children.
To be fair, Daisy took a long time to carefully consider the decision she made. She wanted her daughter to be well-liked and respected instead of becoming a spoiled rich girl who thought others to be beneath her. She strove to root out any sign of that mentality. So despite the disagreement of the two men in the family, she still brought up her daughter her own way.
At the school grounds, the bell rang and soon the grounds were filled with schoolchildren waiting to be picked up. "Jasmine, is your elder brother coming to pick you up?" one of her classmates asked. As soon as school was over, she was surrounded by her fellow female classmates, each of whom had a crush on Justin.
