Chapter 124
As the roar got closer, the first thing that caught the eye was two extremely ostentatious silver-red and silver-gray Lamborghinis driving side by side, followed by a series of luxury cars including Bugatti, Pagani, Koenigsegg, Rolls-Royce...
It's a thrilling sight to see several top-tier luxury cars driving side by side. The melodious roar, coupled with the sleek, imposing lines of the cars, stirred the excitement of the car enthusiasts present, who couldn't help but join in the cheers. The cheers and whistles made it feel like a real race, and many children even jumped and cheered along.
There were too many children around the kindergarten, so it was not suitable to drive in. These twenty or so extremely expensive and cool cars simply drifted and parked neatly on the street next door.
Lou Yaoyao and Cao Yuhao were also very excited by the atmosphere around them, and they kept standing on tiptoe to look. The smaller Jiaojiao was completely blocked from view by the people around him, and he was a little anxious because he couldn't see, so he pulled his father's trouser leg on tiptoe to look.
Upon seeing this, Li Yubai immediately picked up Jiaojiao and held her in his arms. His superior height was enough for Jiaojiao to have a wide field of vision.
Finally able to see, Jiaojiao tilted her head back with her eyes curved, rubbed her father's chin, and said sweetly, "Hello, Dad."
Li Yubai lazily rested his chin on Jiaojiao's furry head, and lowered his eyelids to hide the smile in his eyes.
Not far away, more than 20 luxury cars opened their doors in unison. The first thing that came into everyone's sight was the shiny leather shoes, followed by the straight legs set off by the trousers, and then a very brilliant and very stylish BGM sounded.
Everyone present: “…”
With their 5.2 vision, they swear that they definitely saw the man on the left side of the fourth row at the back take out his cell phone to play background music. Don't think that they can't see it because he played it quickly and hid at the back.
Moreover, with suits, hairspray and sunglasses, this group of rich second-generations are dressed not very similarly, but exactly the same.
Jiang Xu and his friends, who thought they were very handsome, hadn't even had time to close the car door when a traffic police officer approached them: "Illegal parking, blocking the road, a fine of 200 yuan and two points deducted."
Jiang Xu: “…”
Su Yi: “…”
Onlookers: "Pfft..."
Mo Hao turned around and yelled, "Ding Jiabei, look at the bad idea you came up with."
"You can't blame me for this. Isn't that what's written in novels? And weren't you all very excited when I proposed this idea?"
"Stop talking nonsense and come up to pay the fine."
"Here I come, don't rush me."
At the entrance of the kindergarten, Lou Yaoyao, who was originally very excited, suddenly fell silent after seeing their faces clearly. As if she felt embarrassed, she silently covered her face with her hands.
Jiaojiao, who was in her father's arms, found it very funny after seeing this and followed her actions by covering her face with her hands, leaving only a pair of round eyes exposed.
Li Yubai looked down at Jiaojiao, then at the group of conspicuous people not far away, and inexplicably felt the urge to cover his face.
After Jiang Xu and his group paid the fine, they drove to the parking space designated by the kindergarten and walked towards the kindergarten gate.
As they walked, people around looked over, wanting to see whose child was making such a big fuss.
Although Ledi Kindergarten can be considered an aristocratic kindergarten in a sense, no one's children have ever gone to school with such a big fuss, so they are very curious.
Jiang Xu: "Hey, where's Jiaojiao?"
Su Yi: "Weren't you here just now?"
After searching for Jiaojiao but failing to find her, Jiang Xu and the others grabbed Cao Yuhao, who was still watching the fun, and asked, "Where's Jiaojiao? Why are you alone?"
"Isn't it right here?" Cao Yuhao said as he turned his head to look to the left. Only then did he realize that Jiaojiao, Lou Yaoyao and Uncle Li had long disappeared, leaving him alone standing there watching the fun foolishly.
"Isn't that Cao Yuhao?"
"Director Cao's son?"
"Mom, that's Cao Yuhao from our class!"
"The cub who went on Time and Space last year."
"Oh, it's him. What's the relationship between these people and his family?"
"Such a big scene, could it be that Director Cao asked some celebrities to come and support his son?"
"Oh, I see!"
Cao Yuhao heard their conversation: "?"
At this moment, in the kindergarten, Lou Yaoyao was holding her breath and running inside with Jiaojiao in her arms. As she ran, she muttered softly: "Dark history, dark history, this is dark history, these people have no good intentions..."
Li Yubai followed beside her, and when he saw that Lou Yaoyao could no longer hold Jiaojiao, he took her from her arms.
To explain why Jiaojiao is in Lou Yaoyao's arms, we have to talk about Lou Yaoyao's thought process.
She was determined to save Jiaojiao from the scene of social death, and was worried that Uncle Li would not leave, so she coaxed Jiaojiao down from Uncle Li's arms, then squatted down, gathered all her strength, and ran with Jiaojiao in her arms.
"Sister Yaoyao, what is dark history?" Jiaojiao asked while staying in her father's arms.
Lou Yaoyao put her hands on her hips and took a few breaths, then looked up at him and said, "It's something that will make you socially frustrated when you think about it when you grow up!"
Jiaojiao tilted her head: "Social death?"
Not knowing how to explain these two words, Lou Yaoyao simply said, "You'll understand when you grow up."
"oh."
Today is the first day of school. I don’t have to attend classes as normal, but I have to try two classes.
The children lined up and walked into the classroom according to the teacher's instructions, while the parents stayed in the monitoring room to watch their children's performance.
In the monitoring room, Lu Jie and Jun Xiangze, who arrived later, sat next to Li Yubai. They looked at Jiaojiao in the monitoring, their faces full of pride and complacency. If you didn't know, you would think this was their child.
In the kindergarten, after a class, the teachers distributed desserts to the children.
Jiaojiao, sitting on a stool with a small spoon in hand, thought for a long time between the small cake and the small pudding, and finally chose to eat the small pudding first.
While Jiaojiao was eating the pudding with a spoon, the fat boy sitting next to him had quickly finished the two desserts.
The little fat boy, who hadn't eaten enough, smacked his lips, then turned his gaze to Jiaojiao's little cake. As he looked at it, he suddenly reached out and took the little cake that Jiaojiao had put aside and hadn't eaten.
Jiaojiao reacted belatedly and quickly reached out to grab the edge of the plate.
Jiaojiao's dark eyes widened as she asked in confusion, "What are you doing with Jiaojiao's cake?"
"I've finished mine, but you haven't yet. I'll help you finish it." The little fat man said righteously.
Jiaojiao puffed out her cheeks: "I don't need your help."
"I want to eat."
"This is Jiaojiao, you can't eat it."
"Give it to me, I want to eat it."
Jiaojiao raised her chin and acted fiercely: "My brother and sister are Cao Yuhao and Lou Yaoyao from the senior class."
This is what Sister Yaoyao and Brother Yuhao taught him to say.
Children in the senior class?
The little fat boy thought about it for a while, and although he was reluctant, he still let go of the small cake in his hand.
Sure enough, in the eyes of younger children, older children are sometimes more intimidating than their parents.
Jiaojiao took the snacks back and placed them on the other side before sitting down with peace of mind and continuing to eat the pudding with a small spoon.
The little fat boy next to her kept staring at Jiaojiao, swallowing his saliva as he looked.
Jiaojiao, who was being stared at by him, turned her head to look at him from time to time. Seeing that he was so greedy that he was about to drool, she took out a candy from her pocket and gave it to him.
The fat boy took the candy, hugged Jiaojiao and gave her a kiss: "Thank you."
Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, raised her hand to wipe the saliva off her face, and shook her head: "You're welcome."
After two trial classes, Jiaojiao ran out carrying the small schoolbag she was given and holding the small cake that the teacher had packed for her.
When she saw her father, she handed the small cake in her hand forward like a treasure: "Dad, give it to me."
Li Yubai squatted down and picked up Jiaojiao. He took the small schoolbag off his back and carried it. He also took the small cake in his hand: "How is it? Are you still getting used to it?"
Jiaojiao nodded: "Adapt."
"So you'll officially start school tomorrow?"
"good."
"Will you cry?"
"Jiaojiao, be good and don't cry."
Although she said she wouldn't cry, Jiaojiao couldn't help but tear up when she said goodbye to her father the next day and was led by the teacher to the kindergarten.
Jiaojiao, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and green overalls with a little rabbit printed on them, and carrying the little yellow duck backpack distributed by the kindergarten, walked into the kindergarten while constantly looking back at her father who was standing at the kindergarten door.
The reason why Jiaojiao didn't feel anything yesterday was because she knew that her father was sitting in the monitoring room next door. Today, after knowing that her father would no longer be watching her in the monitoring room, she suddenly couldn't help but want to cry.
Teacher Li Yu, who was holding Jiaojiao's hand, squatted down and rubbed the head of the child, who was as white and tender as a glutinous rice dumpling: "What's wrong with Jiaojiao? Are you reluctant to leave your father?"
Jiaojiao nodded with red eyes, her voice starting to tear up: "Yes, Jiaojiao is reluctant to leave."
Li Yu smiled and said, "I'm going to tell you a secret. Jiaojiao's dad will be waiting for her at the kindergarten gate. After school, she'll be able to see him as soon as she leaves the kindergarten."
Jiaojiao sniffed and asked curiously, "Really?"
"real!"
After hearing what the teacher said, Jiaojiao no longer felt like crying. As long as he thought of his father accompanying him at the kindergarten gate, Jiaojiao was not afraid of anything.
Li Yubai, who was standing at the entrance of the kindergarten, kept watching Jiaojiao until he could no longer see her back.
The afternoon sun shines through the shade of the trees, the white clouds in the sky drift slowly by, and occasionally a gust of wind rustles the leaves on the roadside. The vehicles passing by leave the sun behind, leaving behind a trail of exhaust fumes.
Li Yubai did not leave the kindergarten. He leaned quietly against the wall. Only in this way could the anxiety and worry in his heart be slightly relieved.
Listening to the sound of reading coming from inside, Li Yubai couldn't help but recall the scene when he first met Jiaojiao.
I didn't feel anything at the time, but now when I think back on it, my heart aches. How could such a well-behaved child be abandoned, and abandoned on a rainy day.
Fortunately, he went out that day!
Fortunately, he picked him up that day!
When Li Yubai thinks about it now, he still feels fortunate and happy for picking up Jiaojiao that day.
Time passed as the sunlight slanted, and in the afternoon, the kindergarten bell rang for the end of school.
Not long after, Jiaojiao ran out with her small schoolbag on her back and her short legs under the supervision of the teacher.
When Jiaojiao came out of the kindergarten and saw her father, she immediately threw herself into his arms.
A small, soft ball fell into his arms. Li Yubai's heart, which had been worried all day, suddenly felt comforted, and every part of his body sighed.
Jiaojiao threw herself into her father's arms, raised her head, and tugged at her father's clothes on his chest with her little hands, saying, "Dad, Jiaojiao misses me."
"Yeah." Li Yubai responded softly, ruffling his furry hair and saying, "I miss Jiaojiao too."
When he was in kindergarten, he didn't understand why some children would cry. Not only the children would cry, but some parents who sent their children to school couldn't help but wipe away their tears. He always thought it was exaggerated at that time.
Now that he has Jiaojiao, he suddenly understands that when he sends the child he has always loved and pampered to an almost completely unfamiliar place, even if he knows in his heart that there is a high probability that nothing will happen, he still can't help but worry.
Are you worried about whether Jiaojiao can adapt and whether she will cry?
Are you worried that Jiaojiao will be wronged or bullied by other children?
I even worry about whether he can get used to the food in kindergarten.
This was different from the feeling Jiaojiao had when she went to play at Jun's house in the past. He knew that Jiaojiao would never be bullied or wronged at Jun's house, but in kindergarten, he could not absolutely guarantee these things.
For a moment, Li Yubai even thought about not going to this kindergarten. He could teach what was taught in the kindergarten, so it didn't matter whether he went to school or not. But in the end, he resisted the urge.
He wanted Jiaojiao to have a complete and happy childhood, and the company of friends was essential to such a childhood. He couldn't tie him down just because he was worried about him.
Thinking of this, Li Yubai tightened his arms, picked up Jiaojiao and walked back: "What do you want to eat tonight?"
"I want to eat fried spareribs." Jiaojiao said crisply.
"Well, anything else?"
“And there’s smooth and fragrant egg custard.”
"good."
For the next period of time, every time Li Yubai sent Jiaojiao to kindergarten, he would stay outside the kindergarten and not leave.
This behavior lasted for half a month until he was completely sure that Jiaojiao was safe and happy in kindergarten, and then he stopped.
One day, Jiaojiao came home from kindergarten and was sitting at her desk doing her homework. Suddenly, she looked up at Li Yubai with sparkling eyes and said, "Dad, Jiaojiao can write her own name now."
"Really?" Li Yubai came over with some fruit and sat down. He said seriously, "Let me see how it goes."
Jiaojiao immediately grabbed the pen and wrote carefully, stroke by stroke, reciting as she wrote: "Li Jiao."
Jiaojiao has small hands and not enough strength to hold the pen. Although the words she writes cannot be said to be beautiful, they are definitely neat.
Li Yubai has never been stingy in praising Jiaojiao. Not to mention that Jiaojiao's writing is quite neat, even if his writing is incomplete, Li Yubai, who hides his child complex, can still praise her to pieces with his eyes closed.
Jiaojiao was very happy to be praised for her success. After thinking for a while, she suddenly said, "Jiaojiao wants to write Daddy's name. Daddy will teach me."
"Okay." Li Yubai agreed, leaned over, held Jiaojiao's little hand, and guided him to write his name stroke by stroke.
It was the first time that Li Yubai taught Jiaojiao to write, and his movements were a little unfamiliar, but gradually they got much better.
He held Jiaojiao's hand and wrote it several times. Jiaojiao practiced it several times by herself. The words she wrote could barely be recognized as the three words "Li Yubai".
When he saw Jiaojiao stumbling over and writing her own name, an unfamiliar and indescribable emotion sprouted in Li Yubai's heart, making him soften.
He touched the back of Jiaojiao's round head and said, "Can you give me this calligraphy?"
Jiaojiao tilted his head to look at the name of his father he had written. Unsatisfied, he puffed his cheeks and looked up and said, "Wait until Jiaojiao writes it nicely before giving it to Dad, okay?"
Li Yubai didn't think the writing was bad, but when he met Jiaojiao's serious eyes, he still said, "Good."
Jiaojiao rarely showed his stubborn side. He held the pen and wrote stroke by stroke over and over again. Li Yubai's persuasion did not stop him.
When night fell and the moon replaced the sun in the sky, Jiaojiao finally finished writing a piece that he was relatively satisfied with. He ran into the kitchen, raised his fair little face, and showed it to his father with bright eyes.
After Li Yubai took it and looked at it carefully, he praised it generously, which made Jiaojiao's eyes curved into a pair of small crescents, and she circled around him happily.
Li Yubai pinched his face and told him to wash his hands and prepare for dinner.
The next day, with Jiaojiao's consent, Li Yubai framed the two names written by Jiaojiao, Li Jiao and Li Yubai, and hung them on the wall of the living room.
He framed the two names that Jiaojiao wrote best, but he also carefully put away the other names that Jiaojiao wrote not so well and placed them in his study.
Since then, the little red flower that Jiaojiao received for the first time, the certificate of honor that she received for the first time, and the painting of her father that she drew for the first time were all hung on the wall of the living room by Li Yubai.
Every time Jiang Xu or Jun Xiangze came, he would intentionally or unintentionally mention the names and paintings on the wall.
Jiang Xu, Jun Xiangze and others were so jealous that they secretly coaxed Jiaojiao to draw a picture for them as well.
Jiaojiao agreed without any coaxing, and started painting after finishing her homework that afternoon.
Jiang Xu and Jun Xiangze, who got the paintings, immediately took them to a place that specializes in framing famous paintings and had them framed in the most expensive frames. Then they took them home and hung them in their study or bedroom, posting them on their WeChat Moments to show off all day long.
The result of showing off was that Jiaojiao sat at the table with a watercolor pen in hand, frowning and painting non-stop. She was happy that the uncles liked her paintings, but also worried that there were too many uncles and she would never be able to finish them.
Time passed slowly. As Jiaojiao's kindergarten life gradually got on track, Jiang Xu and his friends also successfully became familiar to the kindergarten teachers.
Many things become easier once you get to know her, such as picking up Jiaojiao from school.
Li Yubai was filming and sometimes too busy to handle it, so he would ask for leave to come pick up Jiaojiao. Jun Xiangze and the others heard about this from somewhere and began to try to dissuade Li Yubai from taking leave, saying that it would have a bad impact and that they could handle things like picking up Jiaojiao.
A group of people surrounded Li Yubai and advised him not to ask for leave, saying they would take care of everything.
People who don't know the reason think that they are very nice to Li Yubai when they see this, but in fact, they each have their own little thoughts.
Li Yubai was speechless when he was persuaded. Don't think that he didn't know what these people were thinking. Each and every one of them was coveting the position of Jiaojiao's godfather.
It's just that they have been fighting for this position in private, and they still haven't decided who will be the godfather, so they are trying every possible way to make their presence felt and gain favor in front of Jiaojiao and him.
Seeing that they couldn't persuade Li Yubai, Jiang Xu and the others turned to persuade Jiaojiao.
Given how much Jiaojiao cares about her father, she would definitely not want her father to be so busy that he has to take time off to pick her up from school.
This was indeed the case. After knowing that her father was working so hard that he had to take leave to pick her up, Jiaojiao had a serious talk with her father.
Finally, under the attack of Jiaojiao's tearful eyes, Li Yubai agreed to let them pick up Jiaojiao when he was too busy.
When Jiang Xu and the others learned about this, they couldn't help but cheer.
Time passed day by day. After helping Li Yubai pick up Jiaojiao many times, the teachers in the kindergarten were already confident in letting Su Yi and others pick up Jiaojiao.
Gradually, this group of people went from picking up Jiaojiao from school on time to picking her up about half an hour in advance, taking her out to play for a while, and then sending Jiaojiao to the crew to find her father.
As children, they are very tired after going to school all day, so of course they want to play or eat something delicious to relax, but they do all this without telling Li Yubai.
Besides them, Mu Yichen, Shi Huairou, and Jun Che would also come to pick up Jiaojiao, Lou Yaoyao, and the others. Because Li Yubai had informed the teacher in advance, and they had a familiar driver accompanying them, picking up Jiaojiao went smoothly.
After picking up Jiaojiao, they went to the crew where Li Yubai was filming to do their homework, and then played together after finishing.
That day, Wang Xingyi arrived at the gate of Ledi Kindergarten with a cheerful look on his face: "Teacher Li, I'm here to pick up Jiaojiao."
Li Yu: "Jiaojiao, he was picked up by Mr. Jiang."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xingyi was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands angrily.
It was Jiang Xu again. It was agreed that it was everyone's turn to pick up Jiaojiao. Last time, he let this guy take Jiaojiao away in advance. Unexpectedly, he was the one who intercepted her again this time, and he was the only one who did it.
Wang Xingyi, who was so angry, showed a sinister smile. He took out the recording of Jiang Xu complaining about Li Yubai during the last adventure and sent it to Jiaojiao.
You want to intercept him, right? You want to be Jiaojiao's godfather, right? He's dreaming!
Jiang Xu, who was stabbed in the back by Wang Xingyi that night, suddenly appeared in Wang Xingyi's room at 4:30 in the morning with a hideous ghost mask on and disheveled hair.
According to the young nephew who lived in Wang's house at the time, Wang Xingyi's screams that night were so tragic that the Wei family next door were woken up by their howling, and they ran to their house at night to ask if something had happened.
Time flies, and the days are pleasant but with all kinds of harmless ups and downs.
Because of the protection of the upper circles in the Beijing circle, Jiaojiao has never been discovered by Su Qutao. Su Qutao, who has been unable to find the reason why these people are out of his control, becomes increasingly irritable.
She couldn't control the people in the Beijing circle, so she turned her attention to other places, such as Hai City and Jiangcheng.
She shifted her focus from Jing City, and the young Jiaojiao was powerless to do anything about it. After all, Jiaojiao was still young, and it was impossible for her to follow her to Hai City and Jiang City just for Su Qutao.
They also speculated that one of the reasons why Su Qutao shifted her focus was that the protection of Jiaojiao by the Beijing circle was too strict, and she could not find a breakthrough point, so she moved the battlefield to other unfamiliar cities.
Because they are unfamiliar with these places, the chance of Jiaojiao being exposed increases. Therefore, neither Li Yubai nor Jun Xiangze agrees with Jiaojiao going to Hai City or Jiangcheng.
To put it bluntly, people are close to each other and distant from each other. Compared with Jiaojiao, those strangers who have never met or have only met a few times are far inferior to Jiaojiao in their hearts.
It's not that they haven't thought about arresting Su Qutao, but there's no reason. She hasn't broken any law. Charm is a mysterious thing, and the police won't put anyone in jail for it.
All those who gave her gifts and money did so voluntarily, and she herself was also very cautious. Until she actually broke the law, there was nothing we could do to her for the time being.
Moreover, not all people who are bewitched by Su Qutao will come to find Jiaojiao. Many people who have problems do not think that they have any problems. They just feel that they have found true love and are crazy about her.
The longer one is bewitched and the deeper one falls, the harder it will be to wake up. Facing those who cannot wake up in a short period of time, the chance of Jiaojiao being exposed to Su Qutao will increase.
Therefore, there are still some rich and powerful people around Su Qutao.
This meant that even if they wanted to design a plan to send Su Qutao to prison, they could not really hit her, because some people were willing to take the blame for her, and some people were willing to use the power in their hands to protect her.
However, out of humanitarianism, they will remind the people of Hai City and Jiang City to be wary of this woman named Su Qutao, and will also tell them to come to Jing City if something really happens.
But at that time, whether the people of these two cities believe it or listen to it will be their fate.
I have something to do tomorrow, so I don't know if I'll have time to write. I stayed up late and wrote two chapters.
