I take my daughter to school at eight o'clock, and after school in the afternoon, I pick her up to go to her tutoring class.

Am I not tired?

I'm already exhausted, it's not easy for me, I've already worked so hard, why would I adopt a child and make things even harder, making our already meager life even worse?

I could have rested for a while, so why did I have to work myself to death?

Finally, I don't want to adopt; I'm not capable of doing so.

Raising a child is not as simple as feeding them; there are also illnesses, schooling, and the need to care for their physical and mental health.

I can barely take care of my own daughter, I don't have the ability to raise another one. Being a single mother is not easy, I'm exhausted!

I could have hired a lawyer to sue you for harassing me, but I'm giving you a chance now. I'll let it go since these episodes weren't aired. It's not easy being an intern like you two.

But if even a single drop leaks out, I will sue you.

I will file a complaint with the TV station.

After Mo Yan finished speaking, both of their faces darkened. The little girl wanted to say something, but the cameraman stopped her.

The lawyer behind Zhang Ning stepped forward. "Hello, I'm Attorney Yang. This is my business card. I hope we won't meet again. What do you think?"

The two of them ran away as fast as they could, fleeing in panic.

Seeing their reaction, Zhang Ning immediately made a phone call.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it."

Looking at their expressions, Mo Yan knew they would definitely release the video secretly. But it didn't matter; she thought it was a good thing that it was released.

We'll discuss the next step later.

"Zhang Ning, why are people these days so good at expressing sympathy?"

Or is it that they feel free to speak without restraint whenever someone else is making a scene, judging others by what they believe to be the most upright moral standards?

It has to be said that Mo Yan's words hit the nail on the head.

That is, one can freely comment on things that don't concern them, and in the most relaxed tone.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you. They won't be able to send it out."

"No, let them publish it, and then I'll sue them. I want them to know what the consequences are of using public opinion to harm others."

Zhang Ning then realized that Mo Yan had said those things on purpose.

"Did you say that on purpose?"

Mo Yan raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything, and took her daughter back.

After returning home, Mo Yan put down her things and looked at Xin Xin.

"Xin Xin, in the next few days, someone might come to you and ask you to agree to live with Yu Yang. They'll definitely say some terrible things about Yu Yang. What will you do?"

Xin Xin looked at her mother and said, "Mom, don't worry, Xin Xin will protect you."

I will tell them that our family is already struggling enough and we can't afford to raise another child.

"Silly child, what Mommy means is that you shouldn't worry, and don't listen to what they're saying, okay?"

"Mmm-hmm."

Mo Yan turned to Zhang Ning and said, "Please protect Xin Xin for me and don't let those people bother her. She's just a child, and I don't want them to get involved."

Zhang Ning nodded. "Okay."

On New Year's Eve, Mo Yan prepared the New Year's Eve dinner and invited Zhang Ning and his lawyer, who was also a good friend, to dinner.

The two also said that they had never had a proper New Year's Eve dinner.

They ate New Year's Eve dinner together, set off fireworks together, watched the Spring Festival Gala together, and made dumplings together.

We started cooking dumplings after midnight and gave Xinxin lucky money.

Xin Xin received a red envelope and sweetly offered her New Year's greetings.

The dumplings were cooked, and each person ate two before they dispersed.

They came to our door again on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

This time, they came with their work IDs, saying they were from the "Family Gossip" program crew [the IDs were just randomly chosen].

They've watched a few episodes of the show these past few days. It's all about finding families with various conflicts, and regardless of who's right or wrong, as long as someone goes there, they're guaranteed a happy ending.

"Hello, we hope you can participate in our program. Our program is broadcast live. Would you like to participate?"
