Guoguo twisted her plump waist and turned her face to the side, looking like a proud little girl.

"Why?"

"I don't know you, so I won't hug you."

Yan Yi was very patient and said in a gentle tone: "Who said you can't hug someone if you don't know them?"

"Mother!"

After a pause, she bent her tender little fingers and said in a cute and sweet voice, "Brother said, Dad said."

Yan Yi smiled and automatically ignored the two men.

"Your mother is right. You can't hug strangers. But I'm not a stranger. I'm your mother's good friend, so I can hug you."

Guoguo tilted his head to understand for a while, then shook his head again.

"No."

"You won't hug someone you know?"

Guoguo didn't answer, but was attracted by the fruit basket on the coffee table.

The petal-shaped bamboo basket is filled with all kinds of colorful fresh fruits.

"It's a banana, don't take it!"

Guoguo pointed at the golden bananas and said in a childish voice, with a hint of pride in her voice, "Look, do you think I'm very capable?"

Yan Yi smiled, "What else can you do?"

As if encouraged, Guoguo paused for a moment, pointed at the yellow orange, and said in the same childish voice, "This is Orange, Wo Runji!"

"What is this?"

Yan Yi pointed at the imported red grapes in the fruit basket.

Guoguo looked at Hongti, then at him, was stunned for a few seconds and realized she didn't recognize him, so she turned around and ran away.

Yan Yi chuckled silently.

I thought the child ran away because he was angry. I was thinking about how to coax him, but I saw the child coming out of the kitchen pulling at the corner of Shen Mingzhu's clothes.

"Mom, what is this?"

"Here they are, red grapes. Grapes, how did your brother teach you?"

Guoguo tilted his head and thought for a while, then answered cheerfully in his baby voice: "Grape, Grape, Grip!"

"By the way, grapes are called Grip, and this is a red grape, so it's called Red~Grip."

Yan Yi looked at the woman who was teaching her children seriously and tenderly, and was absent-minded for a rare moment.

…

After Shen Mingzhu finished making tea, she sat down on the sofa with her daughter in her arms, and Yan Yi placed a bottle of ointment on the coffee table in front of her.

"I saw you had a scar on your face yesterday, so I stopped by the surgery department on my way to work and got a tube of scar removal cream. Apply it once in the morning and once in the evening, and it will help your skin heal as quickly as possible."

"Actually, that's not necessary. I didn't suffer any skin injuries, so I shouldn't have any scars."

"Then keep it, in case it comes in handy in the future."

At this point, Shen Mingzhu had no choice but to put away the ointment. "Thank you. And for what happened yesterday, you left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to thank you. I'm sorry for causing trouble to you and Qingqing yesterday."

Yan Yi smiled, "I was thinking last night, if I hadn't asked you to stay in the study group, you wouldn't have fallen out with Sun Feifei, and you wouldn't have suffered such an unprovoked disaster. In fact, I am also responsible for your misfortune. I came here today to apologize to you."

"Don't say that. Joining the study group was my own choice. If anyone is to blame, it's my own fault for not being tactful enough and making others hate me."

"You're doing fine. At least, I think so."

Shen Mingzhu smiled, lowered her head and used a handkerchief to wipe the fragrant mud off her daughter's face.

Yan Yi looked at the mother and daughter, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

"I just saw some books in your yard. Are you going to prepare for the exam?"

Shen Mingzhu: "Well, I've been too busy these past two years and haven't been able to spare the time and energy to study. I plan to take the exam again in January next year and try to get the diploma in one go."

Yan Yi nodded, "Then I wish you good results."

"Thanks."

Knowing that she was home alone with her daughter, Yan Yi did not stay long. Before leaving, he told her about the latest developments in the case.

With all the evidence and witnesses, Sun Feifei is unforgivable.

The two brothers who absconded were also arrested by the police.

Shen Mingzhu was shocked when she learned about the two brothers' criminal records.

If she hadn't carried a stun gun with her, she might not have been able to escape.

The electric baton was a preparation made before the Mid-Autumn Festival for going to the port city.

Gangs are active in Hong Kong, and young and dangerous people are rampant. She bought a stun gun and put it in her bag for self-defense.

…

"No way, Yingying, are you really going to admit your mistake to that bootlicker?"

Ouyang Xiaoyan and the others were surprised when they learned that Zhong Ying was going to apologize to Shen Mingzhu.

Zhong Ying stirred her coffee, propped her chin up in her hand and said happily, "Just tell me, it won't hurt me. Anyway, my cousin said that she will give me a new car when I graduate next year, so you guys should help me think about which car to choose."

"Wow, your cousin is so generous!"

"I'm so envious. I wish I had a cousin like this."

Everyone else was envious, except Ouyang Xiaoyan, who said sourly, "Yingying, you are too shortsighted. I think your cousin just wants to get rid of you so that you won't cause trouble for Shen Mingzhu again."

This really spoiled the fun and Zhong Ying was a little unhappy.

"I'm happy to get rid of me. At least my cousin spent real money on it. It's better than you always picking up your cousin's old things."

Ouyang Xiaoyan's face also turned bad. "You are so proud now. Your cousin wants to buy you a new car, but don't forget who is helping you behind the scenes."

"How dare you say that? You've only done more harm than good. You said you wanted to help me teach Shen Mingzhu a lesson, but you ended up offending Mrs. Ning and losing face. And that Sun Feifei, if you hadn't kept persuading me, I wouldn't have paid any attention to her, let alone been implicated by her."

"Ha~ Are you blaming me now? Who was it that said that Shen Mingzhu should be in trouble?"

"I did say it, but did you get it done? You still want me to clean up your mess!"

They were both rich girls from good families, and neither of them was willing to give in, so they ended up parting on bad terms.

The former sister group also broke up because of the breakup between the two.

…

When Pei Yang got home from get off work, Shen Mingzhu was sitting in front of the coffee table with her two children, making dumplings.

The afterglow of the setting sun filtered into the living room through the window. The mother and her two children were bathed in the light golden glow, as beautiful as a painting.

He washed his hands and walked to the coffee table, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to join in making dumplings. Seeing the fruit basket beside the coffee table, he casually picked a crystal clear red grape.

"Are there any guests at home today?"

"Yan Yi came over this afternoon."

The red grape that was about to reach her mouth stopped, "Did he buy the fruit basket?"

"Um."

Pei Yang bent down and stuffed a red grape into his daughter's mouth. Shen Mingzhu glared at him and said, "You're stuffing such a big grape into her mouth. Aren't you afraid it will get stuck?"

Hearing this, Pei Yang hurriedly pinched his daughter's chin, picked out the red grapes and threw them into the trash can.

"Mom is right, this is not a good thing, don't eat it."

Is that what she meant? Shen Mingzhu looked at him, "Are you sick?"

Pei Yang wiped the saliva off his hands with the handkerchief on Guo Guo's shoulder and said, "Yes, a little. Give me some medicine."

It would be best to treat stomach acid.

Shen Mingzhu turned around and called Pei Ziheng, "Bring the rat poison buried in the yard to your father."

Pei Ziheng: "Mom, how much do you want to pack?"

"Take his eating bowl and fill it up!"

"good."

Pei Yang: “…”

Don't love it anymore, right? ...

I haven't been to work for a few days and the documents on my desk are piling up.

Shen Mingzhu was looking through the restaurant's daily revenue report with a hint of joy on her face.

Julie was also excited. "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, business suddenly became prosperous. The twelve private rooms are full almost every day. I think we can take advantage of this opportunity to open a branch." (End of this chapter)
