Lu Anning's series of actions shocked the head teacher and the couple, and they only came to their senses after Lu Anning took Tang Rui away.

Tang Rui was led out of the school by Lu An Ning, still a little dazed. Things seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

Lu Anning opened the car door and turned around to see the kid staring at him. He couldn't help but laugh: "Was I very handsome just now?"

The child rolled his eyes: "Aren't you afraid of what my dad will say to you?"

"I'm right, what can he say? Besides, the one being bullied is his son."

If Tang Jingyuan came in person today, this matter would be even more difficult to resolve.

Tang Rui snorted: "Don't think you can please me like this. If you don't come, I can handle it myself."

In the past, those women who wanted to get close to my father often used this trick, but he would not be fooled.

Lu Anning looked at his stubborn back and shrugged. It was understandable that the child was very wary.

Lu Anning was about to take Tang Rui back to Ronghua Garden when she suddenly received a call from Du Man, asking to see her. Lu Anning looked at Tang Rui, hesitated for a moment, and did not answer.

Duman sighed in my ears: "An Ning, you and your father have fallen out, don't you even plan to see me?"

Lu Anning frowned. Her adoptive mother was quite nice to her.

"I'll come find you."

Du Man and Lu An Ning made an appointment to meet at her favorite dessert shop. When Lu An Ning showed up with Tang Rui, the smile on Du Man's face froze.

"An Ning, what are you doing?"

Lu Anning answered frankly: "Tang Rui, my husband's child."

Du Man couldn't believe it: "You would rather be someone's stepmother than marry the eldest son of the Pei family! An Ning, how could you fall to this level?"

Lu Anning felt the person next to him tense up noticeably, and said impatiently, "Mom, the child is still here! I'm doing very well now, and I don't want to talk about the past anymore."

Du Man sighed repeatedly and looked at Lu An Ning with only regret in his eyes.

"I've heard about your fight with your dad. Why bother? We're all family. Your dad still loves you very much, and I'm worried about you too. It's not a good idea for you and your daughter to keep fighting like this. Just do me a favor and make peace with your dad, okay?"

Du Man held Lu An Ning's hand and spoke earnestly. Unfortunately, she didn't buy it anymore.

"He's been forcing me!"

"As long as you nod, I will convince your father. Let's make an appointment and have a good meal together as a family. Since you are already married, at least let your father and I meet you, so that I can feel at ease. This is a deal."

Duman patted Lu Anning's hand gently, his tone gentle, but he didn't give Lu Anning any chance to refuse.

Lu Anning looked at Duman and was distracted for a moment, remembering the bowl of soup she had given him before.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Du Man said again: "Don't you even believe me now?"

Lu Anning thought for a moment and replied, "Okay."

Du Man glanced at Tang Rui, who was silent, and asked tentatively, "What does this child's father do? How is his family? Is he treating you well?"

How good can the conditions be for a divorced man with children?

Lu Anning smiled faintly: "Better than Pei Yongsheng."

Du Man didn't take it seriously. With Tang Rui around, the mother and daughter didn't talk much.

After leaving the dessert shop, Tang Rui rarely spoke: "Is that your mother?"

Lu Anning looked down at him: "Adoptive mother."

Tang Rui understood: "No wonder."

"Hmm?" Lu Anning didn't understand: "She treats me very well."

Tang Rui rolled his eyes, clearly unconvinced, and stopped talking. On the way back, Lu Anning took the initiative to talk to Tang Rui about something, and finally dug out some information. For example, Tang Rui was less than ten years old, already in the first grade of junior high school, and the youngest in the class. The kid he had fought with today was already fourteen years old.

No wonder there's such a big difference in size. So, is his fighting prowess inherited from Tang Jingyuan?

Lu Anning had a lot of questions. Seeing Tang Rui reminded her of the past and she couldn't help wanting to get close to him. Tang Rui was a man of few words and for once didn't lose his temper with Lu Anning.

Tang Jingyuan rushed home from work as quickly as possible, fearing a fight between the older and younger siblings. When he opened the door, he saw two figures busy in the kitchen. Tang Rui, wearing a small apron, listened to Lu Anning's explanation while diligently taking notes. It was a harmonious scene.

Tang Jingyuan couldn't believe it. This brat had changed his personality?

"Are you... okay?"

Lu Anning: "It's okay."

Tang Rui: "She beat up my head teacher."

Tang Jingyuan froze again, his blood pressure soaring: "You fought with the class teacher?"

"Don't get excited! We'll talk about it over dinner later. It's a good thing I went. If it were you, Experimental Middle School would no longer exist."

"What's going on?" The three of them sat down, and Tang Jingyuan stared at Lu Anning.

The heat of the thick soup blurred the sharpness in Tang Jingyuan's eyes. While Lu Anning picked up some food for Tang Rui, he slowly told him about school affairs and did not forget to show Tang Jingyuan the injury on the corner of Tang Rui's mouth.

"Tang Rui only comes back once every two weeks and spends most of his time at school. We should be more concerned about his school environment. The head teacher can't distinguish right from wrong. This child has suffered countless injustices in the past. Let's change schools!"

The father and son were startled and looked at Lu An Ning at the same time.
