Mommy, don't be afraid, I'll bring you blind boxes and scam you out of a wealthy family to

kindergarten.

During free time, Wen Li and Qiu Xin sat in a corner, building with blocks.

A shrill voice rang out from behind: "Qiu Xin, you've been hiding here?"

The two looked up and saw a princess dress covered in sequins.

The girl had her pigtails styled in Roman curls, her hair clips were studded with real diamonds, and she was holding an expensive doll, looking arrogant and haughty.

Two children followed behind her, standing like her little followers.

Wen Li was a little confused: Who is this again?

Qiu Xin clutched the building blocks tightly and whispered, "Shen Yaya..."

The Shen family's company is quite large, and Shen Yaya is an only child who grew up being pampered. At such a young age, she already has a lot of arrogant princess syndrome.

"Qiu Xin, why are you wearing that shabby outfit again?" Shen Yaya deliberately raised her voice to attract the attention of the surrounding children. "My mom said your family is so poor that they can't afford to go to our kindergarten. You only came here because you begged someone. Look at you, you can't even afford new clothes, you look so tacky."

Qiu Xin's face turned pale instantly.

She was unaware of the adults' financial situation; however, living under someone else's roof had made her accustomed to endurance, and she had no idea how to refute Shen Yaya's exclusion.

Seeing that Qiu Xin remained silent, a hint of smugness flashed in Shen Yaya's eyes.

His gaze shifted and landed on Wen Li, who was standing next to Qiu Xin.

Wen Li was wearing a kindergarten uniform, her long hair was half tied up, and there were no flashy logos on her headband.

In Shen Yaya's eyes, who calls herself a "heiress," she is clearly just an "ordinary person" who can be manipulated at will.

"Qiu Xin, you've found a new follower?" Shen Yaya deliberately shouted loudly, "I heard my mom and Aunt Li say that you're a burden that neither of your parents want to deal with, and this one—"

She glanced at Wen Li with disdain: "They probably don't even have a mother—you two just happen to keep each other company, both unwanted wild children!"

Qiu Xin shrugged at what she was told.

In the past, Xiao Wenli would probably have had her old wounds reopened.

But then she remembered Baba's arms, Gugu and her uncle's smiling faces, her grandmother's hands, and her grandfather's gifts.

She has a family; she's not an unwanted child.

Wen Li's eyes were clear, and her voice was soft and sweet: "Did you eat anything really bad today?"

Her tone was neither angry nor sarcastic, but rather purely concerned.

Why doesn't this person play by the rules?

Shen Yaya was stunned for a moment, then instinctively puffed out her chest and retorted, "What? I had pudding for lunch made by a French chef that my dad specially hired. It was very expensive!"

Wen Li sighed softly, looking at her with pity: "Then why did your words sound so bittersweet?"

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Tell your dad to get a different chef."

*Pfft*

The children around couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

Shen Yaya has always been arrogant and domineering in class, and many children have long disliked her; however, because the teachers have to give face to the Shen family, no one dares to rebel.

This new doll is amazing!

Shen Yaya stomped her feet angrily: "You're talking nonsense! You're the one who's sour, you're the one who's bitter! You're a bad child, nobody wants you!"

She turned and glared at him, and one of her lackeys immediately chimed in, "Children without mothers are so annoying!"

Another follower reached out to push Wenli.

Just then, Qiu Xin rushed over and stood in front of Wen Li, her face flushed red: "You're not allowed to talk about Wen Wen like that!"

She shouted back with all her might, "Wenwen has a dad! She has lots of family! They'll all be picking her up from school today! You're the rude, bad kid!"

After she finished yelling, she gasped for breath, her little fists clenched tightly.

The eyes that always avoided eye contact were now surprisingly bright.

Shen Yaya was startled by Qiu Xin's outburst.

In her eyes, Qiu Xin had always been the easiest to bully, never showing any signs of wanting to bite.

Shen Yaya subconsciously took a step back and fell flat on her backside into the pile of building blocks, tearing her delicate dress.

"Waaah—you're bullying me! I'm going to tell the teacher!"

Completely losing face, Shen Yaya simply sat on the ground and started wailing.

Just then, the school bell rang.

Teacher Zhang came over: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Shen Yaya opened her mouth, about to cry out, but then her eyes darted around and she said nothing more.

Wen Li, unaware of Qiu Xin's wicked intentions, reached out and took Qiu Xin's hand first.

The girls' hearts were pounding, and their hands were sweaty.

Wen Li said softly and sincerely, "Qiu Qiu, you're amazing! Like a little warrior!"

Qiu Xin was still a little scared, but when she met Wen Li's bright eyes, the pride of protecting her friend overcame all her fear.

She was a little embarrassed: "From now on, I'll protect you every day!"

Wen Li nodded and squeezed her friend's hand: "Mommy and Daddy both love Li Bao very much. Qiu Qiu's parents also love Qiu Qiu very much. Don't listen to her nonsense."

Qiu Xin sniffed: "Mmm!"

-

At dismissal time, the entrance of this best kindergarten in Tanzania is filled with all kinds of luxury cars, resembling a car show.

The window of the middle Keltibach was lowered halfway, and the woman in the back seat had exquisite makeup, was dressed in gold and silver, and her designer clothes covered her from head to toe like armor.

She looked angry and was on the phone.

"Honey, our darling isn't in a good mood today. I asked her what happened, but she won't say. Why don't you ask the headmistress which inconsiderate teacher or child made our Ya Ya suffer..."

All the cars around her were cheaper than hers, and even if they were just driving by, they couldn't help but stare at her with disdain over the fact that her windshield had been stripped off.

Until I caught a glimpse of a Cullinan.

The woman opened her mouth in surprise: "Honey, Ya Ya's school, when did they get a school of this caliber...?"

The car door opened, and a long leg stepped out first.

Duan Xianchen took off his sunglasses, a smirk playing on his lips, determined to win.

This car is too flashy for a lawyer; clients would be intimidated by it, so it usually just sits gathering dust in the garage of the old house.

However, since they're here to pick up the little princess, the grand entrance must be the main event.

He arrived an hour early to wait for the baby; he was determined to claim the title of "Number One Pick-Up Person" today!

However, this sense of triumph did not last long.

He strolled leisurely to the front of the parents' waiting area and caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar car out of the corner of his eye.

It has an understated appearance, but the brand is quite prestigious, and the numbers on its license plate are unusually short.

Those who are ignorant might think it's a violation of the rules.

Duan Xianchen's gaze swept over the spotless car body, and he stiffened slightly.

The car window slowly rolled down.

Qin Zhiyuan took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "What a coincidence."

Duan Xianchen frowned: "What are you doing here?"

Qin Zhiyuan put down her thermos: "Yesterday, Lili asked me to pick her up from school."

Duan Xianchen momentarily doubted his elder brother: "Didn't we agree that I would pick you up?"

Qin Zhiyuan smiled faintly: "I don't know, I just promised the little girl."

She glanced at the toddlers playing not far away and lowered her voice: "Picking up children from school is also a very important thing. I didn't do it well before, so..."

She didn't finish speaking.

But Duan Xianchen understood.

Those days he missed during his childhood can never be turned back.

All we can do is fill in the gaps with Xiao Wenli.

He swallowed hard, but ultimately said nothing, only turning his gaze toward the school gate.

As the number of parents increases, the wind blows stronger.

Qin Zhiyuan, who lives in the tropics year-round, is not familiar with the weather in Tan City and is dressed rather lightly today.

Duan Xianchen glanced at it only once before looking away.

He knew that his second sister had driven this car before and had put the cashmere shawl in the back seat cabinet.

But he did nothing.

When the school bell rang, the children flew out of the school building like little birds.

Wen Li soon spotted them.

"Uncle—!"

"grandmother--!"

The little bundle of joy, carrying their little backpacks, ran all the way.

After stopping in front of the two, she looked left and right, her eyes shining brightly: "You've both come to pick up Pear Baby!"

Qin Zhiyuan smiled and patted her head: "You keep your word."

Wen Li pulled one child along, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "Li Bao, were you the first one picked up today?"

Duan Xianchen raised his wristwatch, his expression serious: "That's right."

The little bundle of milk immediately jumped up and down happily several times.

A gust of wind blew in her face, and Qin Zhiyuan subconsciously pulled her clothes tighter.

Wen Li immediately noticed: "Grandma's cold?"

Qin Zhiyuan shook her head: "I'm not cold."

Duan Xianchen glanced at it but didn't say anything.

He took two steps into the car first, took out the shawl, but instead of handing it to Qin Zhiyuan, he stuffed it into Wen Li's arms.

Wen Li blinked.

Her little mind worked quickly; without any prompting, she ran to her grandmother, holding up her shawl high: "Grandma, here!"

Qin Zhiyuan took it, her fingers stroking the soft material.

She knew perfectly well whose idea this was.

But when he looked up, Duan Xianchen had already turned his face away, looking elsewhere as if nothing had happened, as if it had nothing to do with him.

The smile in Qin Zhiyuan's eyes deepened.

She adjusted her shawl: "Thank you, Lili."

Then she bent down and whispered in the little girl's ear, "Also, on behalf of Grandma, say thank you to Uncle."

The little girl mimicked her, whispering, "Uncle didn't give it to Grandma himself, was he shy?"

Qin Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Yes, he's still the same as when he was a child, easily embarrassed."

The two cars, one after the other, drove in the same direction.

The area in front of the kindergarten gradually quieted down.

On the other side, Ktibachri.

Shen Yaya finally found her chance and feigned a sob: "Mommy, someone bullied me today..."

The woman's face suddenly turned cold: "Who?"

"That country bumpkin Qiu Xin, along with the new student, talked bad about me..." Shen Yaya sobbed, "and made the whole class laugh at me..."

The woman narrowed her eyes: "Okay, Mommy will handle it. Don't be afraid, baby, I want to see..."

Look who these Tom, Dick, and Harry dare to mess with the Shen family?!
