Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.

Zhou Yanqian took her hand and asked, "Where's Xiaoxu?"

"I don't know, he's probably at work," Jinxi said. "Anyway, he always leaves early."

Going to work is great, going to work is wonderful! Last night, Jinxi tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep until 2 a.m.

After dropping off Zan Zan, she'll come back and catch up on some sleep. Her parents are looking after the martial arts gym, so there won't be any problems.

Zhou Yanqian nodded. Yes, being CEO Zhou means getting out to work early.

He used to leave home very early.

Looking at it this way, going to kindergarten is better than going to the company, at least he slept until 7:30 before getting up.

The two went down to the second floor, but they didn't expect that Zhou Linxu was standing by the dining table, bending down to untie the apron he was wearing.

Hearing the noise, he turned his head to look at the two people, one big and one small, holding hands, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Awake? Come and have breakfast."

Zhou Yanqian tilted his head, rubbed his eyes, and thought to himself, "Why is my father still here?"

Zhou Linxu's gaze fell on Jinxi, who was still wearing her pajamas. She looked haggard, clearly indicating that she hadn't slept well.

He walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jinxi exclaimed, then stammered, "Oh, I was reading a novel last night and accidentally stayed up all night."

Zhou Linxu simply nodded and said gently, "Then I'll take Zanzan to kindergarten later. You can go upstairs and rest for a while after you finish your breakfast."

Zhou Yanqian released Xiao Xi's hand and rubbed his arms.

What's wrong with my father today? His tone is so gentle it's almost dripping with tenderness, it makes him feel so uncomfortable.

Little Zhou Zanzan glanced at his father with a hint of disdain before heading to the dining table.

Huh? Has he forgotten something?

Last night, his father seemed to have woken him up, and he didn't remember what his father was saying.

Forget it, if I don't remember it, I'll just pretend it never happened.

Zhou Yanqian sat down at the table and discovered that it was his favorite wontons. He was so lucky!

Zhou Yanqian picked up a small spoon and started eating, watching the show as he ate.

We haven't finished talking about Xiaoxi and Xiaoxu yet.

Seriously, he's going to be late for kindergarten.

If being late means you don't have to go... well, that's not impossible!

Unfortunately, I can't skip kindergarten.

After Zan Zan ate the first wonton, the two sat down.

Zhou Linxu said, "I made this seasoning, I don't know if it tastes good, you should try it."

Jinxi picked up a spoon and stirred it. "Why did you suddenly decide to make breakfast?"

Zhou Linxu answered freely: "I got up early, but I only cooked a little bit; the aunt did the rest."

Zhou Yanqian nodded. Only his aunt could make such delicious wontons.

Oh dear, why didn't we get to eat such delicious wontons when Grandpa and Grandma came?

He asked, "When are your grandparents coming to visit?"

Jinxi said, "You miss them? How about I send you to your grandma's house for a few days after your class today?"

Zhou Yanqian said, "Sure!"

Crushed ice... ice cream... milk tea... hehe...

Jinxi glanced at him and said, "I'll tell Grandpa not to buy ice cream, crushed ice, milk tea, cake, or snacks."

Zhou Yanqian snorted. Xiao Xi just can't take a joke!

Jinxi, who couldn't afford to play games, took a bite of wonton and exclaimed, "Phew! That feels so good!"

Zhou Linxu raised his hand and pinched Zanzan's nape: "When you go to your grandparents' house, will you come back to sleep there?"

"We'll see," Zhou Yanqian said. "I can sleep alone too."

Jinxi thought about it for a moment, and realized that Zhou Zanzan's free sleeping posture meant that he would lie down on the floor as soon as he fell asleep.

Zhou Linxu clearly had also thought of that, and he said, "You should go home and sleep."

Zhou Yanqian turned to look at him: "How old are you? You still need me to sleep with you! Can't you sleep by yourself?"

After understanding, Jinxi couldn't help but chuckle.

Zhou Linxu pinched the back of his neck again: "You'd better not talk."

The elderly father couldn't take it anymore.

Zhou Yanqian scoffed, "Come on, let's hurt each other!"

Just then, Zhou Linxu's phone, which was lying to the side, rang. He picked it up and glanced at it; it was a call from an out-of-town number.

Zhou Linxu glanced at the region information before answering the phone: "Hello."

After hearing something said on the other end, Zhou Linxu frowned slightly, then finally hummed in agreement: "Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."

Jin Xi noticed that Zhou Linxu's expression was not good, and after he hung up the phone, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Linxu was about to say something, but swallowed his words because Zanzan was there.

He said, "It's nothing, let's have breakfast first."

Jinxi hummed in agreement. She had naturally noticed Zhou Linxu's glance just now. He looked at Zan Zan, which meant that the phone call was related to Zan Zan.

Zhou Yanqian was unaware that he was now eating three meals a day normally and had a very good appetite.

After breakfast, Zhou Linxu said, "I'm going upstairs to change my clothes. You wait for me here."

Zhou Yanqian waved his hand; he was currently bonding with Daju and Dali.

Jinxi also said, "Baby, I'll go upstairs to change my clothes too."

Zhou Yanqian said "oh," unable to understand the couple.

If he wants to go upstairs to change his clothes, then he can change his clothes. He can't run away from home, can he?

After the two entered the elevator, Jinxi asked, "What happened?"

"The Song family found my sister-in-law's grave and said they want to move her ashes." Zhou Linxu felt a headache coming on: "I need to go and take care of this."

Jin Xi asked in confusion, "What exactly is going on?"

Zhou Linxu hadn't said much before, so Jinxi was completely confused by what he was saying.

What do you mean, the Song family found Song Lanqing's grave? Didn't they know about Song Lanqing's grave before?

Zhou Linxu said, "When I found Zanzan, my sister-in-law was being kept at a Taoist temple by them, who said it was for some kind of ritual to help her pass on to the afterlife."

The ritual of deliverance was just their guilty conscience; they were probably afraid that there really were ghosts and gods in this world, and that Song Lanqing would climb up and take their lives.

That Taoist temple didn't look like a proper one at all; even the box outside the urn was covered with all sorts of random talismans.

He later consulted a master who said it was a suppression curse, and that the Song family would prevent Song Lanqing from ever being reborn.

Zhou Linxu was furious. Although he didn't believe in these things at all, he was still afraid that they might have some real impact. So he listened to the master's advice, found a proper Buddhist temple in the area to chant sutras for a period of time, and bought a plot of land in the cemetery next to the temple before he could finally bury Song Lanqing.

After hearing this, Jinxi couldn't help but feel disgusted: "Isn't my sister-in-law a member of the Song family? Why is she treating her like this?"

People always have a sense of awe towards ghosts and gods, so how could the Song family treat Song Lanqing like this?

After they both got off the elevator, Zhou Linxu looked at her and said, "This time, I'll be back as early as tomorrow morning."

Jin Xi asked, "What are your plans to do?"

Zhou Linxu thought for a moment: "Let's see what the Song family is up to."

Jinxi said, "If you handle this, who can guarantee they won't cause trouble in the future? Besides, my sister-in-law lives in her hometown, which is far from Jincheng, so it's inconvenient for her to go and pay her respects."

Zhou Linxu pursed his lips and asked, "What do you think?"

Jinxi said, "Why don't we move your sister-in-law's grave back?"

Move them back?

Zhou Linxu blinked, and Jin Xi said, "It'll be more convenient for Zanzhan to visit them this way, don't you think?"
