Huang Meihua didn't go over today. There were many things to do at home. Daniel is already grown up now, and besides, Hongmei is taking care of him, so she can rest assured.
Zeng Zhongkang and the other two are currently very busy.
Now the two little ones can play together very well. And Ningning even knows how to give in to him, showing a bit of an uncle's attitude.
However, both children were a little unhappy that Annie was missing in the morning. Daniel, in particular, kept shaking his head and looking for her.
"Sweetie, I'll definitely be back today. Can you wait patiently for a little while?"
Daniel smiled and nodded at Zhang Hongmei. The eight-month-old baby was so adorable that Zhang Hongmei couldn't put him down.
School is about to start, and this is when their senior year will be graduating.
Zhang Hongmei and her three classmates successfully obtained their graduation certificates. Of course, Zhang Hongmei's professor tried to persuade her to stay, but Zhang Hongmei found it amusing. Why would she stay for personal gain?
Tonight, we're throwing a celebration dinner for the four of them. All ten of them, including Kong Yushun, along with Wyatt and the Beth family of three, are present.
Now, the ten of them finally realized that their classmates who had come with them were going back a year earlier than them.
No one misses home. Everyone else is able to go back first, but I have to stay here for another year.
Dong Yuping held Zhang Hongmei's hand. "Hongmei, I want to go home too. I miss everything about home."
Zhang Hongmei patted her on the shoulder. "Then keep trying. You've made it through three years, just these last few months are all you need to do. Hang in there."
"Why am I not as smart as you? I wish I could skip a grade and stay in school."
Jiang Mingyan and Wang Minxia kept their eyes fixed on Carlos. They didn't care whether Carlos went back or not.
Daniel, who was in Cheng Guangxu's arms, was a bit fussy and insisted on being held by Zhang Hongmei.
Zhang Hongmei took him from her, saying, "Baby, you always think of your mother!"
The little guy chuckled, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Zhang Hongmei carefully dried him off. She scooped a spoonful of mashed potatoes and put it in his mouth.
“Hongmei, you’re so young, yet you’re so good at taking care of children.”
Daniel swallowed and looked at Zhang Hongmei, "Mom!"
He uttered those two clear words. Everyone was stunned.
Zhang Hongmei stared at Daniel with wide eyes.
"Mother!"
Now she really heard him clearly. She gave him a big kiss on the cheek. "Baby, you really didn't let Mommy down. Say it again."
"Mother!"
Huang Meihua wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes. They were tears of relief.
Carlos, however, was proud! His son was indeed capable.
When Annie heard her younger brother call for his mother, she went over and said, "Daniel, call me sister, sister!"
The little guy pursed his lips and didn't say a word.
"Zhao Haozheng, go get the camera and take lots of pictures of Daniel and me."
What was supposed to be a celebration party turned into a photo session because Daniel mentioned "Mom."
To ensure everyone had a good time, Zhao Tiancheng went out and bought more exam papers. They happily made noise until after 11 PM.
The children all went to sleep. The two older families also went to rest. Carlos Wyatt, Zhao Haozheng, and the other two went upstairs to the study to discuss work.
Now only the sixteen of them remain in the living room.
"The four of us will be leaving for home in three days. Please prepare anything you need to bring as soon as possible."
"Also, now that only the twelve of you are left, you must study hard. I will be waiting for you back home."
"I suggest you choose someone who has the final say, so that you won't be left without a decision-maker when something happens."
Also, you've all been through a lot, especially the five of you girls. You must be aware of potential risks and not blindly trust others.
Also, I will ask Zhao Haozheng to say this: If there's anything you're not doing well, then I'm sorry, you'll just have to go to school obediently.
Everyone present fell silent. This punishment must be extremely severe.
Zhang Hongmei really didn't hold back at all this time.
"Do you think I haven't taken care of you? I don't care what you think. I'm just telling you to behave yourselves throughout the year and not make any mistakes."
I don't know if you read newspapers, but you should know that it's very easy for someone to disappear here. And it's extremely rare to find them.
These words startled everyone. They also served as a wake-up call for everyone.
"And if anything happens to you here, I guarantee that even if you go back to China, I'll find a way to make you nothing. If anyone doesn't believe me, you can try. I'll show you what I'm capable of."
Everyone was taken aback. Why was he making such a harsh statement at this time?
Zhang Hongmei had her own considerations. The mountains were high and the emperor was far away. If something really happened, the emperor would be too far away to help and would not be able to take care of the situation.
Rather than watching them make mistakes, it's better to leave them with a harsh impression.
The six girls went into the dining room together. Zhang Hongmei gestured for them to sit down.
"I wasn't joking about what I just said. Jiang Mingyan and Wang Minxia, you two, put away your little schemes. What's your task now?"
Both of them lowered their heads, filled with rage, but there was truly no way to fight back.
However, he hated Zhang Hongmei even more.
"You two remember this: if any problems arise, don't come back. Don't believe me?"
“You’ve all been curious about who my husband is, haven’t you? I’m telling you today, Zhang Shouyi is my husband. Do you think I have the ability to do so?”
"Of course, not going back might please you, but I can also make sure you can't live here either. Believe it or not?"
The two men's hearts skipped a beat. They really couldn't afford to offend her; she was a leader! They simultaneously remembered that Zhang Hongmei had arrived in the leader's car to meet them, as well as the driver's behavior and Zeng Zhongkang's behavior.
Both of them looked pale. Especially Jiang Mingyan.
Zhang Hongmei naturally knew what they were thinking. "If you don't make any mistakes during this period, I will forgive and forget about the past when you return to China."
Did you all understand?
All five girls nodded. Is there anything else you don't understand?
Maybe I still considered staying here, but given the current situation, there's no way to survive here. I should just focus on my studies from now on. Should I hurry back home? If I really stay here, there are the McCann family and the Roy family. Even with Zhang Hongmei's company here, they have no way out.
Now both of them behaved. They've both come to their senses.
The men didn't know what they were saying. But when they came out of the dining room, they all seemed much quieter. Jiang Mingyan and Wang Minxia, in particular, looked especially downcast.
