"Dad," Han Xiangdong swallowed hard, "Why are you talking as if I've become heartless? How could I have?"
"Isn't this a reminder to you?" Han Baozhu rolled his eyes at his son.
"I know, don't remind me. I'm your son. As long as you're not heartless, I absolutely won't... Ouch." Han Xiangdong had just finished speaking when Liu Sujuan slapped him on the head, causing him to scream in pain, "Mom, what are you doing?"
"You seem to be itching for a beating lately, how about we..."
"No!" Han Xiangdong quickly moved away from his mother. "I was wrong."
Liu Sujuan then lowered her hand, which she had raised again. The kid deserved a beating.
"Wrong, hit..." Shuo Shuo suddenly banged on the table with a small spoon, glaring at Han Xiangdong, looking both cute and fierce.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Le Yao's nose tingled with a little soreness, because her family was always like this. During meals, the four of them would always chat, laugh, and play around. Her younger brother always seemed like he was asking for trouble and didn't like studying. Every time an exam ended, the house would be in chaos, but the next day he would still be playing as usual...
"Alan?" Han Xiangdong suddenly reached out and waved his hand in front of her eyes.
Le Yao snapped out of her daze: "What's wrong?"
"I called you just now and you didn't respond. What were you spacing out about?" Han Xiangdong looked over with a hint of doubt.
"It's nothing, I just thought of my biological mother." Le Yao smiled, her eyes a little red.
"Alright, Alan." Liu Sujuan patted Le Yao's hand. "Your mother would definitely want you to be happy."
Le Yao sighed inwardly, knowing she was referring to Cui Na, but she couldn't explain, so she could only nod and continue eating.
After lunch, Han Baozhu and his wife accompanied Shuo Shuo for a nap, while Han Xiangdong went to the store to help out with Shen Yi.
Le Yao was miserable, lying there doing practice tests. She still had five tests left to finish, given by the fussy principal. School started the day after tomorrow, and she had to finish them. However, what made her feel a little better was that Qian Meiqi and the others were also doing practice tests, so they were in the same boat.
Only Qiao Qiao is still hanging out on Qiao Zi's set, sending photos over every now and then, making everyone envious and jealous.
Just as she finished two practice tests, Zheng Ruyu sent a message saying she would arrive in three to five minutes. Le Yao then asked Tao Qing to go to the main gate to meet her.
The property management of Longting Community is very strict. Each household needs to verify the number of people in their family through facial recognition and fingerprints. If someone is not a resident of the community, they must be accompanied by a resident to enter on their first visit. After registration, they do not need to be accompanied on their next visit, but they must have the resident's phone number for confirmation.
So there's a reason why property management fees are expensive.
Soon, Tao Qing led Zheng Ruyu in.
"Young Madam," Zheng Ruyu greeted with a smile, "the environment here is truly lovely."
"Yes, because it's expensive."
Zheng Ruyu paused for a moment, then laughed, "Young Madam is so funny." Then she noticed the test paper spread out on the table and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Is Young Madam rushing to finish her homework?"
“Yes, school starts in two days. If I don’t finish my homework quickly, I’ll probably get scolded when I go back to school.” Le Yao sighed, then tidied up the papers. “Please sit down. I’m divorced from Lord Jue, so please don’t call me Young Madam anymore.”
