Chapter 50
After Yueqing returned to the car and drove for a distance, the heat in his ears subsided and he saw the bag on the passenger seat. Then he remembered what he had forgotten because of the two kids' nonsense.
Jiang Sui's gift has not been given away yet.
But they are not going in the same direction, and he has a lot of things to do recently, so I'll wait a few days for him to come back before giving him the gift.
The most important thing in her heart finally came to an end, and coupled with the good response from the magazine, she was in a very good mood for several days. She also made appointments with several photographers for trial makeup shoots, but because she had to deal with the children's kindergarten matters first, the time was scheduled after the Lantern Festival.
She has her own plans.
Since I want to raise the children by myself, I can't relax even if the Jiang family will provide part of the child support. Otherwise, if I can't keep up, the custody rights may be taken away.
So I have to choose a high-paying career, and modeling is a good choice. I just need to balance work and family.
Xiaojia feels at ease with Sister Wang around, and she can spare more time to work once the children go to school.
Suddenly I felt that I had hope for the future, and I was no longer as confused as in the past.
She was relaxed here, but it had been raining for several days in the Jiang family.
Except for Jiang Suiji who felt nothing about Jiang Yu's accident, the other people were affected to some extent. It was Chinese New Year, and no one laughed in the house the whole day. Old man Jiang couldn't eat every day. If this continued, he would probably collapse.
But the entire Jiang family has a dumb gene. Jiang Suiji travels around the country and abroad every day. The remaining two old guys, Jiang Hechang, can only talk about reason, so the only one left is Jiang Heling.
Apart from this incident, he was not in a hurry to return to his home, but stayed here with the old man.
While his eldest brother was in the study, on a long-distance call with Jiang Sui, Jiang Heling walked over to the old man and lowered his voice, "Dad, let me take you for a walk."
Mr. Jiang shook his head: "I'm old and don't want to move."
In the past, Jiang Yu always gossiped in the old man's ear, so the relationship between father and son was average.
It was because of this that Jiang Heling had no expectations for getting married and having children. He felt that the Jiang family was not a healthy family, and therefore he himself was not healthy either. It would be a tragedy if his family became like that in the future.
He would rather live alone until the end of his life.
Now that Jiang Yu was gone, even if he wanted to say something, he would feel awkward. He couldn't come up with any euphemisms. He just forcefully helped the man up and stuffed the crutch into his hand: "You want."
"Your eldest brother and Suizhi have been in a mess lately. Why don't you think of helping them?" Old Master Jiang said unhappily as he was pushed. "It's just the same place. There's not even as much stuff as in the garden. I don't want to go!"
"You want to go? It's definitely a more fun place than any garden," Jiang Heling said. "Be quiet, so my brother doesn't hear you."
"What on earth are you trying to do?" Old Master Jiang raised his cane and was about to hit someone. "It's okay if you're not careful at other times, but it's already this late. If you cause me trouble again, I won't let you go!"
"You'll know when you get there."
Jiang Hechang, who was standing by the window in the study and talking to his son on the phone, saw a car driving out of the gate. It was his second brother's car, and he might have been unable to stay at home for a few days.
He didn't take it seriously: "When will you be back?"
Jiang Suizhi on the other end said, "Tomorrow, if the people here are worried, come back and bring a few people to watch over them."
"Those people in the group..."
"Not yours."
Jiang Hechang frowned: "Those are all old people, they have experience, otherwise who do you want to go?"
"Lin Shengxi."
"Lin..." Jiang Hechang felt that the name sounded familiar. It took him a long time to remember that he was his old friend's son.
But I often hear Lao Lin say that his youngest son does things aimlessly and only knows how to play, and he is not very old.
"Are you crazy?"
Not only is he not a member of the Jiang family, he is not even a member of the group, and he is also a rich second-generation who is not doing his job properly.
In comparison, Jiang Suizhi was much calmer: "His starting point is much higher than mine. If I can do it, why can't he?"
"I brought you up single-handedly."
"I brought him up single-handedly."
The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, and Jiang Suizhi suddenly laughed and said, "You forgot, now I have the final say in everything."
Jiang Hechang took a deep breath and had to admit that his son's execution ability was beyond his imagination, so he had no right to question it, because Jiang Suizhi was now even more capable than he was back then.
"Your second uncle is out, I'll go accompany your grandfather." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Jiang on the other end was a little confused when he heard this.
Recently, his second uncle has been very honest. Knowing that things are busy abroad, he has taken on the responsibility of taking care of the old man. He will stay with the old man before he goes to the northwest.
What are you going out to do at this time?
He tried to call Jiang Heling.
Unexpectedly, it was Mr. Jiang who answered the phone: "Your second uncle is driving. Let's talk later if you have anything to say."
“???”
Jiang then had a bad feeling.
He was silent for two seconds, then turned to the secretary beside him and said, "I'll book my flight in advance and go back tonight."
Jiang Hechang, who had come downstairs, saw that not only was his second brother missing from the house, but even his father was missing. He panicked and asked the babysitter, "Where's my dad?"
"Mr. Jiang Er took him out. He said that the old man was in a bad mood, so he took him out for a walk."
Jiang Hechang: “?”
When did they become so close?
No, does that mean I feel better now?
Forming a small group, right?
Mr. Jiang also wanted to ask about this. The sun rose from the west, and his second son actually drove him out in person.
However, he expressed deep doubts about the place his second son wanted to take him, because in his impression, his second son's company didn't have much to do, so he just spent the whole day drinking with some messy bosses.
The old man couldn't imagine himself being surrounded by those people.
Judging from the direction, it should be heading towards the city center, which is prosperous and impetuous.
"I advise you to think carefully before taking me there," said Old Master Jiang sternly. "This seriously affects our future relationship as father and son. I won't go to those messy places you frequent."
"..." Jiang Heling felt it was ridiculous, "What kind of person am I in your eyes?"
Mr. Jiang said bluntly: "Unreliable person."
"I'm really impressed." The car drove into the underground parking lot of a shopping mall. Jiang Heling's face darkened. "Get out!"
Mr. Jiang sat in the passenger seat without moving: "This is a place for young people."
What's the matter with him going there?
Jiang Heling was furious at his refusal to cooperate and refused to tolerate him. "I'll buy gifts for my grandchildren later. You can go empty-handed."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Then he was stabbed in the back by a cane: "What did you say?"
"I remember your ears were fine."
The old man hurriedly unbuckled his seatbelt, tucked his crutches under his armpits as he got out of the car, and walked briskly, "Hurry up! You're dawdling! We'll be late!"
Jiang Heling: "..."
He said that no one in this family was trustworthy and that they were all so cunning.
He hasn't eaten much for several days, but he's still so energetic, he almost wants to go play basketball.
It was not until this moment that Jiang Heling realized that he was the simplest person in this family.
On the other side, Yueqing is taking the children to see the kindergarten environment one by one.
Originally, she wanted to go and see it by herself, but the two children didn't want to stay at home, so she brought them out together and saw which one the children liked.
The result is that I like both of them, but I don’t want to go to either of them.
I still don’t want to go to school, and Yueqing didn’t force me. Instead, I wrote down the advantages and disadvantages of each school.
Jiang Suizhi looked for private international kindergartens. Although the tuition fees were high, the resources and environment were very good. They were just a little close or far away. Finally, he chose one in Yueqing that was not too close but not too far away.
In addition to the kindergarten environment, the environment around the kindergarten is also good. It is next to the police station and there is a business district.
This also makes it convenient to buy some more delicate daily necessities nearby when picking up and dropping off children.
School will officially start in just a few days, and the kindergarten principal and teachers have to come for meetings every day, so Yueqing made an appointment with the school leader and planned to consult and register first.
The person in charge who received the call came out quickly. When he saw Yue Qing, he was stunned for a moment, but soon changed his expression and said, "Hello."
Unlike ordinary private schools, this kindergarten is affiliated with an international school. Generally, children who go to school here will not go to other schools from kindergarten to high school. From kindergarten teachers to high school teachers, they are all famous teachers recruited from all over the world, and the annual tuition is hundreds of thousands.
Otherwise, the school would not be able to have such a prime location in the city center business district.
It is also because of this that every year there are many people who want to enroll their children in the fixed quota. These families are either rich or noble, and each one is richer than the other.
Some people who have nothing to do always take pictures of the luxury cars that pick up and drop off their children every day at the school gate.
The person in charge usually sees a lot of well-dressed parents, and at the very least, nannies who send their children to school.
But the parent in front of him didn't look like a nanny or a parent. She looked young and beautiful, but very simple. To be honest, some nannies who sent their children to school that the person in charge had seen were dressed more exquisitely than the person in front of him.
"Hello." Yue Qing extended her hand. "I'm the parent who just contacted you. My name is Yue Qing."
It had been half a year since the start of school, and anyone who could contact the school was probably no ordinary person. The person in charge didn't think much of it and said, "Please follow me."
There were no students today, so she introduced them as she walked. "We have a fixed number of admissions each year, and we only reserve one or two places. It just so happens that a child went abroad with his parents today, so we have an extra place. You guys are really well-informed."
That was because Jiang Suizhi was well-informed and must have checked whether there were any vacancies in this kindergarten.
She had looked into this school before coming to Yueqing. The tuition was indeed very high, but the teaching was good. She felt that she could afford the children's tuition, since she didn't have any material desires anyway.
The money earned is spent on the children.
On her way to the office, her cell phone suddenly rang.
It was the number from Jiang Sui's second uncle that she had left last time. She was a little confused: "Mr. Jiang?"
"Yueqing." Jiang Heling and the old man were both holding toys, and a toy store employee was helping to push a cart behind them. "Are you home? I wanted to come and see the two children."
"Sorry, we're out at the kindergarten right now and it might take a while before we can go back."
"Kindergarten?" Jiang Heling asked, "Which one? You went there alone for such a big event?"
"It's not a big deal."
"How can it not be a big deal?" Jiang Heling said, "When Jiang Yan went to kindergarten, he was followed by several cars, with nannies, his father, and his grandfather accompanying him. It was like he was being taken to the throne."
Jiang Heling felt that it was already hard for Yueqing to raise a child alone, and now she had to contact the school herself.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this niece-in-law was so pitiful. She was not treated the same as Jiang Yan had in the past.
Yueqing: "..."
She silently glanced at Ziqiang, who was wrapped tightly and had two large water bottles hanging around his neck.
So she really did wrong to the two children?
"I'll add your phone and WeChat later. Send me the address, and his great-grandfather and I will come over to see him." After a pause, Jiang Heling adopted a mysterious tone again, "Don't worry, I didn't tell his grandfather that we were coming to see you."
Yueqing was very confused about the background of this family.
Why is the child so mysterious that even his grandfather can't come?
But she seemed to hear that this uncle also brought the child's great-grandfather over.
hiss.
This really cannot be neglected.
She could only send the address of the kindergarten to her second uncle.
The person in charge picked up his phone right after the post was delivered and said, "Excuse me, I need to take a call too."
"good."
The two cubs held each other's hands, looked up and asked, "Auntie, is anyone coming to visit us?"
Yue Qing squatted down: "Second Grandfather wants to bring Great Grandfather to see you."
"Great-grandfather?"
The rocking car has not been taught to this generation.
"Great-grandfather is Dad's grandfather."
The kids sighed, as if they had never seen the world before: "Isn't that awesome?"
"Hmm." Yue Qing thought for a moment, and considering the recent changes in the Jiang family, guessed that the old lady might be feeling uncomfortable, so she said, "Can you promise me one thing?"
"OK!"
"Grandpa will be here soon, so don't talk about Mom and Dad."
Little Le Jia's eyes were pure: "But we don't have anything to say about our parents."
It's just a name for them.
Yueqing: "..."
Okay, she was worrying too much.
Little Le'an mumbled, bewildered: "I have my great-grandfather, my second grandfather, my uncle and my aunt, but why don't I have a father and a mother?"
"Because our family is special."
"Um?"
"We have two little heroes," Yue Qing said. "So unlike other families, when our little hero grows up, he'll know his mom and dad."
Yes, they are little heroes!
The two kids' eyes suddenly lit up. This was the first time they heard news about their parents from their aunt!
"I understand." Little Le Jia put his hand on his chin and pretended to be deep. "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight."
"Where did you learn that?"
Can you say such complicated idioms?
"It's in the video," Xiao Lejia said, "all those uncles said so."
After saying that, he shook his little hands, and his hand movements were very standard.
Yueqing: "..."
Okay, I already have the picture.
"Sorry to take up your time." The person in charge came over with his phone and said with a smile, "Let's continue. Oh, I forgot to ask, where do you live?"
"Mingzhang Garden."
Mingzhang Garden?
The person in charge seemed a little unfamiliar with the name at first, but after a few seconds he remembered that it was an upscale residential area, which was definitely much better than the average people's, but not too high-end. It seemed that no one in the school lived there.
"Is that so?" She nodded. "Please follow me."
After arriving at the office, the person in charge first poured her a glass of water, then poured water for the two children, and then said, "Miss Yueqing, have you prepared the information?"
"Yes." Yue Qing took out some copies and originals that the children needed for school enrollment from her bag and handed them over.
The person in charge flipped it twice and was stunned: "It's gone?"
"Is there anything else you need?" Yue Qing asked. "I looked at your official website and it seems that these are all I need."
"That's what I said." The person in charge hesitated for a long time when he saw the property certificate she provided. "It's like this, Miss Yueqing, our kindergarten has a default rule for admission, which requires the guardian to verify the capital."
Yueqing was stunned.
Capital verification?
What a niche word.
At this time, there was a knock on the office door: "Teacher Xu!"
"Mrs. Li." The person in charge stood up hurriedly. "You came so quickly."
"I was at the school gate when I called you. I'm familiar with your place, so I came straight here." Mrs. Li looked at the person in the office and first noticed her face. Then she saw the two children beside her and smiled, "There are other parents here too."
The person in charge nodded: "Yes, this lady is just like you, and she also plans to bring her child to school."
Madam Li's smile faded. "Didn't they say there was only one spot?"
"That's how it should be," the person in charge said with difficulty. "We didn't expect two parents to come on the same day before school started."
"My eldest daughter also goes to school here." Mrs. Li didn't hesitate and walked over to sit on the sofa. "If the child's grandparents hadn't wanted him to stay with them for a few more years, we would have taken him abroad. This was also a last-minute solution. The younger brother wanted to go to the same school as his sister, but we had no choice. Sigh..."
She looked at the passionate girl who had been silent all the time, and finally lowered her gaze from her face to her clothes.
What are they wearing?
"Does this parent have two children together?" Mrs. Li said.
Yue Qing nodded: "Yeah."
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Madam, there is only one spot available in this school. It wouldn't be appropriate to separate the two children, right?"
Yue Qing chuckled. "I've been talking to Teacher Xu since I entered the school, and I've also looked at the information. She never mentioned there was only one spot available. Could this be a temporary restriction?"
Then he said softly, "Also, my name is Yueqing, not some lady."
Seeing that she was quite easy to talk to, Teacher Xu quickly explained: "Ms. Yueqing, it's my fault for not explaining it clearly. I just saw the information and found out that you have two children. I thought they were here to play together."
"Really?" Yue Qing stood up and took the document he had taken from her. "But the information I gave you was organized. The first and second sheets were the identification documents of the two children. But you flipped to the end and read them before telling me that we needed to verify the capital. Didn't you look carefully before and didn't realize there were two children?"
Teacher Xu hadn't expected her to be so sharp and logical, and he felt a little embarrassed: "But Miss Yueqing, I'm telling the truth."
"If you hadn't answered the call, would you have told the truth?" Yue Qing asked.
"Why are you making things difficult for a teacher?" Mrs. Li stepped forward. "It's true that the school only has one spot, and it's also true that they need to verify your capital. If you're not satisfied, you can just not come to this school. Or are you unable to afford the money?"
Seeing that the aunt and this aunt seemed to be arguing, the two cubs immediately held hands and stood in front of the aunt: "Don't be afraid, aunt, we will protect you."
"Aunt?" Madam Li sneered. "This is the first time I've heard of an aunt bringing her child to school. I heard you live in Mingzhang Garden, and it's rare for someone there to get Teacher Xu's contact information. You finally have a child, but you can't even call them mom and dad. Your sponsor isn't willing to buy you a nice house or clothes. Look at what you're wearing! If you can't fit in, don't force it."
"Do you like it?" Yue Qing said calmly, without even a hint of anger. Instead, she gently led the two children behind her and said, "This is for you."
"you……"
"Teacher Xu." Yue Qing didn't look at her again, but looked at the person in charge who had been silent the whole time. "What is the minimum capital verification?"
Teacher Xu glanced towards Madam Li, then quickly looked away: "The disposable funds are 10 million."
"Okay." Yue Qing agreed without hesitation. "As you said, there's only one admission spot, and it's on a first-come, first-served basis. Does that mean my child can get in as long as I can prove I have 10 million?"
Mrs. Li was shocked: "You want to separate the two children?"
"It's just a kindergarten." Yue Qing said nonchalantly, "It's the second half of the year, and they're here to play anyway. I can send the other child to another school."
Madam Li sneered, "You sound like you really have ten million."
"Miss Yueqing, this is unnecessary," Teacher Xu urged. "Why must the two children be separated? Wouldn't it be better for them to be together?"
Yue Qing looked at the teacher calmly: "You just need to answer me, yes or no."
Her attitude is even incredibly gentle, yet she has an unquestionable aura.
Having said that, Teacher Xu could only bite the bullet and nod, "Okay."
"Okay." Yue Qing smiled and took out a card from her bag. "Then let's check it."
Now not only Teacher Xu, but even Mrs. Li next to him turned slightly pale.
Seeing that Teacher Xu was really about to take the card, Mrs. Li glared at Yue Qing and asked, "Does your child really have to go to school here?"
"No." Yue Qing smiled and finally looked at her. "After this semester, transfer both children to other schools."
"Then what do you want?"
"I like your expression right now." Yue Qing said calmly, "It looks comfortable."
Mrs. Li's face turned green with anger. It was obvious that Yue Qing was going to go against her, but seeing her unhurried voice and expression from beginning to end, Mrs. Li really didn't dare to take the risk.
If I really test my own child, there will definitely be no such opportunity.
If she hadn't heard that a child of the Jiang family was inquiring about attending kindergarten, and that this school was the most likely choice, she wouldn't have been so anxious to bring the child back home.
Although I have never heard of anyone in the Jiang family having children, no matter which one it is, whether it is secret or public, as long as there is a chance to get close, it is a relationship.
It's because all the power of the Jiang family is now concentrated in one person, but Jiang rarely shows up, and the others have completely cleared themselves of any wrongdoing, leaving no way for them to get close to them.
Yue Qing handed the card to Teacher Xu again: "What are you waiting for? Check it out."
Teacher Xu is now in a difficult situation. If she really does the test, she might offend Mrs. Li.
However, the information that Miss Yueqing brought over didn't clearly state anything, and there was no way to check her background. Seeing her attitude, she really didn't know which side to give up for a while: "Miss Yueqing..."
"I'll buy it for you, okay?" Seeing that Teacher Xu was wavering, Mrs. Li gritted her teeth and said, "How much do you want? I'll buy the spot from you."
"Buy?" Yue Qing laughed, "Do I need that little bit of money from you?"
Madam Li couldn't help herself and raised her voice several degrees: "Then what do you want to do!"
"Apologize." Yue Qing brought the child out this time. "Apologize for what you said just now."
"Are you crazy? You don't want money but an apology?"
"I have to say it twice now." Yue Qing raised the card, "My patience is limited."
Suddenly, the child standing next to Madam Li rushed out, holding the toy ball in his hand and throwing it at Yue Qing: "Don't bully my mother!"
The two boys who were guarding Yueqing immediately became angry and kicked her without even rolling up their sleeves: "Don't hit or bully your aunt!"
The little fat boy was kicked in the stomach and sat down on the ground, crying.
"Why did your child hit others? Will you do anything about it?" Mrs. Li picked up her own children, pushed the two children in frustration, and reached out to slap them.
But before his hand could reach the child's face, it was clamped down.
The slap that was originally intended to fall on the child was now delivered by someone else, landing loudly on her face.
Madam Li was usually weak and frail, no match for Yue Qing at all. She was stunned by the beating and sat on the ground hysterically: "How dare you hit me? I'm going to sue you!"
"Self-defense." Yue Qing squatted down and said with a smile, "There are surveillance cameras here."
Mrs. Li struggled to break free from her hand: "So what if there is one? Will the school dare to release it?"
"The school doesn't dare, but I do." Yue Qing pointed at the two kids' scarves. "My kids like to use a small camera to record their lives. If you're interested, you can search for their account online. Feel free to follow them. Coincidentally, everything you did today was recorded."
When Mrs. Li heard this, she used her hands and feet to kick Yue Qing and also wanted to snatch the cameras from the two children.
But the two children were busy beating up the fat boy and acting like little heroes, so they had no time to pay attention to her.
"As expected." Yue Qing sighed, "Apologies are just for fun. It's better to just take action. Thank you for teaching such an impolite child and giving me this opportunity."
Mrs. Li almost fainted from anger: "Teacher Xu! What are you still standing there for!"
"Ms. Yueqing." Teacher Xu reacted and felt that things were not going to end well. This Yueqing was simply unyielding and even dared to post it online. She hurriedly took out her cell phone and made a call, insisting that the security guard come and take away the camera.
Yue Qing was about to stand up to stop him when she heard a sudden noise at the door and she frowned.
"You're all just sitting around doing nothing, why don't you just come up here? Why would Jiang Suizhi recruit a bunch of idiots like you?" the person at the door said angrily, "Why don't you go and help?!"
Yue Qing was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, he found that it was Jiang Sui, his second uncle, and an old man with gray hair and a cane.
Jiang Heling walked in and skillfully grabbed the collars of the two boys, one on the left and one on the right: "That's enough, we'll have all our hair pulled out in a little while."
The two kids quickly protected their messy hair.
Several bodyguards went to take over the work of the young masters in a dejected manner. Madam Li, who had not even raised half of her body, was pushed down again.
When Mrs. Li heard the man say Jiang Suizhi's name, she stopped struggling and became completely dumbfounded.
"Are you Yue Qing?" Grandpa Jiang threw his crutches aside and helped Yue Qing up with both hands. "I'm Xiaoyan and Sui's grandfather. Are you okay?"
Yue Qing, who had just pressed the person to the ground and rubbed him, said: "...It's okay."
"You too, how could you do that?" Old Master Jiang scolded.
Yue Qing rubbed his hands awkwardly. This family probably didn't think that being too violent would lead their children astray.
"Just let the bodyguard come from now on, so as not to hurt your hands."
Yueqing: “…”
"Your second uncle has experience in this kind of thing. Let him teach you next time." Old Master Jiang said, "Also, he's the best at being a hooligan."
Yueqing: "..."
She was really curious about the composition of this family.
