Chapter 105
Heeding her mother's earnest advice, Xu Qingyan dared not delay and ended the meeting early to pick up her child from kindergarten.
In fact, Xu Yirou is usually one of the children who is picked up early from the Mushroom Class. When the three siblings are unable to leave, their daughter-in-law Jiang Yan will fill in for them.
The engine roared like lightning as it sped past the road, and before passersby could even see the car, the roadside was already empty.
Two top-of-the-line supercars and a low-key Rolls-Royce Phantom were parked side by side in front of the kindergarten.
"Holy crap, who is that person? They're willing to drive a luxury car worth hundreds of millions, aren't they afraid of getting scratched or bumped?"
That's absolutely outrageous.
"Here he comes, let's see who it is... Oh, young master He, then it's alright."
The four people stepped off the car amidst great attention, walking with their heads held high. He Nianzhu turned the short distance of less than 100 meters into a red carpet, exuding extraordinary temperament.
The four's stylish entrance drew frequent attention from passersby, leaving the teachers waiting at the kindergarten gate speechless.
What's going on today? Why are all four of you here?
Teacher Liu from the Mushroom Class had a kind of oppressive feeling, like a leader had come to visit, and wiped the sweat from her forehead without making a sound.
"Da Bao, Er Bao, Xiao Bao, Yan Yan!"
Xu Yirou was like a very bouncy little ball, bouncing around in place and calling out at the top of her lungs.
The three siblings smiled in response, and Jiang Yan took Xu Qingyan's arm and went over.
"My Queen."
"Little Auntie".
"Your Highness."
"Little Meatball." The four responded in turn.
They arrived early, before the entrance became a traffic jam, so it was the perfect time for them to leave.
As soon as the colorful little fence gate opened, the mother of a four-year-old child, carrying a small schoolbag on her back and holding her granddaughter Bubble's hand with her left hand, swung her shiny black ponytail in a lively arc.
Xu Yirou skipped and hopped out.
Before the three siblings' maternal smiles had faded, they noticed a small tail trailing leisurely behind the cub's mother.
Xiao Weiba was wearing a high-end custom-made suit. She had fair skin and red lips, and a cold expression. She squinted and looked the three of them up and down.
His chubby little face was filled with arrogance as he raised an eyebrow: "I heard you're my children?"
"..."
"Come on, call me Daddy."
The three siblings: ? ? ?
Outrageous!

Xu Qingyan remained silent, his dark eyes shooting out coldly.
hiss.
He Nianzhu had a look on her face that said, "What in this world is worth your longing? Why are you so eager to find death?"
"You brat, are you asking for a beating?" He stretched out his long arm and lifted Xu Cheye up like a chick, his tone unfriendly, "Who do you think you're calling Dad? Huh?"
That tiny little thing dares to defy the Heavenly Gang? Who gave him the guts?
Suddenly, his feet left the ground, and Xu Cheye kicked wildly with his short legs, yelling, "You unfilial son, put me down! I really am your father!"
"Go to hell."
He Nianzhu's handsome face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Tsk, what an incorrigible brat.
"Looks like you won't learn your lesson unless I teach you a lesson."
"What are you doing, you little brat?!"
"Oh ho." He Nianzhu laughed in exasperation. "How dare you call me 'little brat'?"
*Smack*
Xu Cheye got a slap on the bottom.
A group of little ones were perched on the railing, craning their necks to look out. Their mouths were agape, and they were chattering away.
"Hey, isn't that Cheche?"
"Oh my god, Cheche got a spanking!"
"Ew~ How embarrassing!"
Xu Cheye's face flushed bright red, and he struggled even more violently: "Let me go!"
"Did you make a mistake? Do you still dare to talk nonsense?"
Although Xu Cheye has awakened his memories of his past life, he is only more mature than other children his age. In the end, he is still a child and cannot be compared with President He in his previous life.
His cheeks were flushed red as he frantically cried out, "Rou Rou, save me!"
Xu Yirou blinked as if waking from a dream, and said slowly, "Erbao, stop. Cheche is your dad starting today."
Clang clang clang—
The world falls silent, so we can hear the shattering sounds of the three siblings.
Today, let's begin, Dad.
At first, I just found it funny and thought that I would just teach Qianqian a lesson and let it go, but then...
He Nianzhu's eyes were blazing with anger.
Okay, very good!!
Even rabbits know not to eat the grass near their burrows, but this little devil is going to take the whole pot and all the grass for the three of us!
He Nianzhu's heart was bleeding, and her lips trembled with anger.
Xu Yirou was completely unaware that because of her words, the three children had silently broken down their defenses and were almost unable to stand.
"Erbao, let go of Cheche."
Xu Yirou tiptoed and struggled to free Xu Cheye from her son's grasp, asking anxiously, "Cheche, are you alright? Does it hurt?"
Xu Cheye, still shaken, straightened his wrinkled collar and tried to keep a straight face: "I'm fine, Rou Rou."
Hey, still being gentle? Anger level +20.
"He's fine, but I'm in trouble." He Nianzhu gritted her teeth. "You brat, what did you do to my little aunt?"
That little brat must be using his good looks to fool his mother and try to become her little father. How despicable!
Xu Cheye covered his buttocks and defensively retreated to a safe distance.
"It's too complicated to explain in a few words, I'll tell you when I get home."
Xu Qingyan's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Whether it's explained in a sentence or two or not, doesn't that mean that kid really did a lot of things?
I've seen arrogant people before, but I've never seen anyone this arrogant. Xu Niancheng's dangerous gaze fell on Xu Cheye.
Seeing that Xu Cheye was about to get beaten up again, Jiang Yan nudged Xu Qingyan's arm: "Everyone around is watching, why don't we go back first? And call Xu Yue again."
"Okay, let's get in the car first." Xu Qingyan lowered his eyes, took Xu Yirou's hand, and walked briskly. "Your Majesty, let's go home."
Xu Yirou obediently followed, "Cheche, come on, let's sit together~"
Xu Qingyan's temples throbbed.
He lowered his eyes, his expression cold: "Aren't you going back to the Xu family?"
Xu Cheye, the eldest son who was facing him with a frosty expression, breathed a sigh of relief: "Go back, I told A-Yue that I'll have dinner with you all tonight."
It means they've decided to stick with them.
Unlike He Nianzhu, Xu Qingyan was not prone to expressing his emotions. He was always patient and restrained. No matter how dissatisfied he was with Xu Cheye's reckless behavior as a father, he would not easily lose his temper with a cub.
With Xu Yirou and Jiang Yan protecting her, He Nianzhu couldn't do anything to Xu Cheye and could only watch him get into the car.
Even though they weren't in the same car, Xu Cheye felt uneasy the whole time.
"Little figurine, you've gone too far! How could you be my dad's dad! I considered you a good friend, and you actually want to be my grandpa? Is that how you treat a friend?!"
"mean!"
"...Didn't we agree that we wouldn't call them mini figurines anymore?"
"You want to be my little grandpa, so what's wrong with calling you 'little figurine'? I only call you 'big bad guy' because my mom's here!"
Jiang Yan was embarrassed and quickly covered her mouth.
If it weren't for her mother Jiang Yan holding her tightly in her arms, Paopao would have rolled up her sleeves and started hitting him long ago.
Xu Cheye closed his eyes, speechless, wondering to himself where his little granddaughter got her fiery personality from.
Upon arriving at the Xu family villa, the real chaos began.
"I am your father!"
"The evidence is on you—"
Xu Cheye took the initiative, focusing his energy and revealing the secrets of the three children in one go.
"Da Bao has three red moles on his left buttock, Er Bao has a thumb-sized birthmark on his buttock, and Xiao Bao has a Big Dipper-shaped birthmark on his back!"
The living room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The three siblings' faces were more colorful than the spilled condiments.
Like a chicken with its neck stuck, He Nianzhu broke free first, her heartbroken, hoarse voice filled with disbelief:
"Mom, you even told him this?"
"This kid doesn't seem like a good person. I absolutely cannot accept him as my stepfather!"
Xu Yirou shook her head innocently: "Erbao, Mommy didn't say that."
He Nianzhu didn't believe it.
Not only did he not believe it, but no one present believed it either.
Xu Niancheng took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Mom, I don't object to you and Cheche playing house, but games can't be applied to reality."
“We have our own fathers, we don’t need a little father.”
Young dad, pay attention!
Xu Yirou sighed and gave Xu Cheye a helpless look: "Cheche, then wait until you grow up to be a father."
A background music track simultaneously played in the minds of the three siblings.
[The promise we made growing up together, so clear, I believed it after we ticked it off.]
Pah, pah, pah, what a load of crap.
Okay, I'll just bear with it and wait until Mom's initial excitement wears off.
“I am He Ting and Xu Cheye. I have remembered my past life.”
The boy instantly shed his childishness, his expression becoming unusually calm. He tilted his head slightly, his pupils dark and bright, his face showing no fear.
He spoke casually, "Ayan, the Xia family has already asked you to acknowledge your kinship, hasn't they?"
Except for the two cubs, everyone else's expression changed.
Xu Niancheng and He Nianzhu's pupils trembled as they stared intently at Xu Cheye in front of them.
After a moment of blankness, Xu Qingyan quickly reacted, his gaze sharp as a knife, unleashing a fierce and powerful aura.
"What do you mean by your past life?" He looked at him and said, word by word, "How much do you know about the Xia family? If you dare to lie to me, even a single word, even if you are the young master of the Xu family, I will not let you off easily!"
The difference between recognizing the mother and recognizing the father is laid bare at this moment.
They no longer readily accept and believe that their mother has shrunk overnight, as they had before.
One is a father who has been dead for five years, and the other is a mother who is right next to them. Even setting aside their feelings, they find it hard to believe that their deceased father would return in such a mystical and magical way.
Should they believe in the illusory concept of reincarnation?
Xu Cheye was not intimidated by his son's imposing manner. A smile of appreciation curved his lips as he calmly said:
“Ayan, it seems you’ve grown a lot in the five years I’ve been gone. Luckily, my memory returned early, otherwise your dad would probably have been scared to tears.”
"You ask me how much I know about the Xia family. Actually, you've investigated almost everything, haven't you?"
Xu Cheye said with his hands behind his back, "Back then, I accidentally discovered that you and Rou Rou were being monitored. At first, I thought it was someone sent by your grandmother, so I ignored it."
"When I finished my work and had time to get rid of them, I found out that those people were targeting you and your son from the beginning. After finding some clues, I followed the trail and found out that you were Xia Jianming's eldest son."
"The mastermind behind sending people to monitor you is his wife, Qin Yuan. Because of her, you were abandoned in Huangshan Village, which she had carefully selected."
"So that you will be forever trapped in poverty and destitution, and that you will never have the chance to come back and take back your inheritance."
Xu Yirou was completely bewildered.
These inside stories struck Xu Niancheng and He Nianzhu like thunderclaps, making them feel as if their bodies had been exploded.
"Brother, is what he said true? Would those beasts from the Xia family really treat you like that!"
The brother and sister thought it was just a simple case of abandonment, never imagining there would be such a complicated situation.
Xu Qingyan remained silent.
Xu Cheye immediately understood. He pushed the tall chair next to him over, climbed up and stood up, barely reaching Xu Qingyan's shoulder.
"Don't you know what kind of person your brother is?" He patted his son's shoulder with an old-fashioned air. "Ayan is always so sensible that it breaks your heart."
The moment Xu Qingyan was touched by the small, tender hand, her body stiffened.
Xu Cheye glared at him: "What, you still don't believe I'm your father?"
That dignified yet affectionate demeanor is rarely seen in a child, yet he managed to do it.
Xu Qingyan's lip line was taut and straight.
After a long pause, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he slowly and laboredly whispered, "Dad."
