Seeing this, Wen Shuqiao wanted to get up and go over, but Shen Jiazhou grabbed her arm and gestured for her not to go.

He glanced across the table; apart from himself, Wen Shuqiao, and Gu Xingyuan, everyone else acted as if they didn't see him, drinking and chatting happily.

Even Rui Rui's parents were chatting amongst themselves, completely ignoring the argument between the two children.

Shen Jiazhou looked at his cousin-in-law: "Is this how you usually take care of the kids?"

My cousin's husband chuckled and said, "Kids always fight and roughhouse, right? Fighting and roughhousing actually deepens their bond."

Shen Jiazhou sneered: "You're right."

He then got up, and Wen Shuqiao, seeing this, also hurriedly got up. She was anxious to see if Cancan was alright, but looking at Shen Jiazhou's appearance, she forced herself to calm down.

The two children were now clinging to their car models, their eyes fixed on each other, and the car models had even shifted their positions inside the car.

Shen Jiazhou walked over, and Cancan looked up, her face full of grievance: "Uncle, he, he stole my things."

Unexpectedly, Rui Rui burst into tears first: "Uncle Jia Zhou! He gave this to me!"

Cancan said, "I didn't!"

Shen Jiazhou: "Baby, let go."

Can Can pouted. Although she didn't understand, she obediently did as she was told. She let go of Rui Rui's hand, still looking at him with resentment.

Shen Jiazhou stepped forward: "Give me the things."

Rui Rui was still a little intimidated by Shen Jiazhou. He didn't want to let go, but he still cried as he handed the model to Shen Jiazhou.

When Rui Rui started crying, her cousin-in-law came over. He tried to smooth things over, saying, "Oh dear, they're just kids. Jia Zhou, don't be angry."

Shen Jiazhou looked at the race car and said, "I'm not angry, I just feel a bit unlucky."

He looked down at Can Can, who was now hugging Wen Shu Qiao's waist. Although she felt wronged, she didn't cry.

Rui Rui's cries were already as loud as firecrackers in the private room. His eyes were still fixed on the toy race car, and he tugged at his father's hand: "Daddy, I want that car! He gave it to me! It's mine now!"

My cousin's husband tried to comfort him, but Rui Rui cried even harder, as if he would cry all night if he wasn't given the toy car!

My cousin's husband was at a loss. He asked, "Jia Zhou, you watched Rui Rui grow up. You know his temper. It's all our fault. He's our only child, so we inevitably spoiled him a bit."

He glanced at the car and said, "How about this, I'll buy this car. Tomorrow, I'll definitely buy an even bigger and better car and give it to our Can Can. Is that okay?"

Rui Rui cried until her face turned red, while Can Can just kept frowning and looked very unhappy.

Wen Shuqiao also frowned in displeasure, seemingly having been holding back.

Shen Jiazhou said, "Gu Xingyuan."

Gu Xingyuan had been itching to get started, and as soon as he heard Shen Jiazhou call him, he got up and went over.

Grandpa Shen sighed and said slowly, "Jia Zhou, today is Can Can's birthday party, so just turn a blind eye. It's normal for kids to fight."

Shen Jiazhou said, "Grandpa, you're always like this, always trying to smooth things over."

He handed the car model to Gu Xingyuan, who then went to coax Cancan: "Xiaobao, Xiaobao, look, we got the car back."

Can Can bit her lower lip and nodded, burying her face in Wen Shuqiao's side, unwilling to look at them, and said to Wen Shuqiao in a muffled voice, "Auntie, I want to go home."

This place is not good at all.

The system also fell silent, not refuting his statement.

It also feels that things are not good at all right now.

Wen Shuqiao patted the back of his head, but didn't answer immediately. Instead, she looked at Shen Jiazhou.

She didn't understand why Shen Jiazhou hadn't let her come over earlier, so that Can Can wouldn't have had to suffer this injustice.

Rui Rui was still crying and making a fuss. His cousin-in-law had no choice but to say, "Jia Zhou, Rui Rui isn't in good health. If he keeps crying like this, something bad will happen. Just give him the car."

Gu Xingyuan stood up: "Hey, brother-in-law, isn't what you're saying a bit off? This car is a gift for Xiaobao. What do you want from Chen Er?"

He glanced at Rui Rui: "When the child cries and throws a tantrum, isn't it because you adults haven't managed him properly? Why should my little Bao give in?"

Shen Jiazhou was even more direct. He turned his head and said, "Cancan, come here."

Wen Shuqiao gently patted Cancan's shoulder, and Cancan reluctantly lifted her head from her aunt's side and slowly walked to her uncle's side.

He didn't want to see this child at all; he didn't want to be a mushroom (a gentleman)!

But my aunt said that we live in a civilized society and we can't hit people casually. Otherwise, she would let this kid experience the power of her top boxing skills!

The system snorted, its teeth itching with anger: [I'll have my uncle deal with them!] Let my uncle beat them up! Let my uncle beat them up!

Just as Xiao Tong finished chirping, he heard his uncle say, "Can Can, beat him up."

CanCan/System: !!!

My cousin's husband was also stunned, seemingly not understanding what Shen Jiazhou had said.

Shen Jiazhou said, word by word, "You wouldn't say anything if the kids were just playing around, would you?"

Then he looked down at Can Can and said, "Do it. Beat him until he stops crying."

At this moment, everyone at the table finally turned their attention to them, some watching with interest, some worried, some silent—a complex mix of emotions.

Grandpa Shen remained seated, but still advised, "Jiazhou, don't go too far. Your brother-in-law and Ruirui are guests, after all."

"Guests?" Shen Jiazhou slowly took off his watch. "Two choices: either let the children fight it out, or let the two of us fight it out."
