After a long day, and knowing she had to go to work the next day, Hua Li washed up and went to bed early.
Luo Yan and Xiao Xiu were not sleepy yet, and played until after 8 p.m. before Luo Shicheng made them go to bed.
Luo Yan lay down but couldn't fall asleep. Cheng Yichen's words kept replaying in her mind, and she couldn't accept that someone would treat her child like that.
Just then, Luo Yan heard a noise outside, so she quietly got out of bed and opened the door...
The lights were off outside, but the dim moonlight streamed in through the window, making it clear that Luo Shicheng was sitting on the sofa.
What's going on? Luo Yan was full of questions.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Luo Shicheng noticed Luo Yan, got up, turned on the light, and asked her.
Luo Yan, "Drink water."
Luo Shicheng prepared half a cup of warm water for Luo Yan. Luo Yan drank it, handed the cup back to Luo Shicheng, and sat down on the sofa, just like him.
"Go back to sleep," Luo Shicheng ordered.
Luo Yan pointed to Luo Shicheng's reddened eyes, "Want to cry?"
"I didn't cry, I just rubbed my eyes."
Even if it was rubbed, why isn't she sleeping at night? Luo Yan's pure gaze left Luo Shicheng speechless.
"Go to sleep, Dad is asleep too."
Luo Yan nodded and took Luo Shicheng's hand as they walked to the guest room.
Following Luo Yan's instructions, Luo Shicheng lay down on the bed, and only then did Luo Yan go back to her room to sleep.
In the morning, the whole family got up on time. Luo Shicheng went to the army base, and Hua Li took the two little ones to exercise.
Luo Yan clearly saw that Luo Shicheng's eyes were bloodshot, but she couldn't figure out why.
"What are you doing?" Mo Sanshan asked, peering over the wall to watch the commotion.
Lost in thought while practicing her skills, Luo Yan grabbed a pole leaning against the courtyard wall and headed straight for Mo Sanshan.
Mo Sanshan screamed in terror, "Mom, help!"
Is Wu Cuihua back?
Curious, Luo Yan vaulted onto the wall and saw Mo Sanshan climbing down the ladder and running toward Xiao Yanru, who rushed out of the house.
Xiao Yanru also saw Luo Yan perched on the wall, and her heart nearly jumped out of her chest. She left Mo Sanshan and whispered Luo Yan's name.
"Yanyan, be good and come down quickly."
Luo Yan jumped off the wall, startling Xiao Yanru so much that she clutched her chest.
Hua Li heard Xiao Yanru's voice and went to the next room.
"You and Battalion Commander Mo got your marriage certificate?" Hua Li asked Xiao Yanru seriously.
Although Xiao Yanru and Mo Xian were both experienced, as the matchmaker, she didn't want the two of them to live together before they even got their marriage certificate.
Xiao Yanru said shyly, "I received it. I received it the day after we watched the movie last time."
She begged Mo Xian to help Hua Li, but Mo Xian said that if she wanted his help, she had to get a marriage certificate first, otherwise Hua Li wasn't his friend and how could he help her? So she got the marriage certificate in a daze and moved into the Mo family home.
That's more like it. Hua Li took Xiao Yanru's hand and asked, "Are you alright?"
Xiao Yanru: "I'm living a life of luxury. Er Ya cooks the meals, Mo Xian does the laundry, and Lao Da and Lao San do the cleaning. I just need to take care of myself."
Hua Li was satisfied. "That's good."
Xiao Yanru held Hua Li's hand with immense gratitude, "I owe it all to you that I met such a wonderful family. I don't know how to thank you enough."
Hua Li said, "You're welcome. Your well-being is more important than anything else."
After chatting for a few minutes, Hua Li went home to continue practicing.
After Luo Shicheng returned and they ate together, Hua Li and Xiao Yanru rode their bikes to work, while Luo Shicheng and Mo Xian took their child to kindergarten.
Upon arriving at the kindergarten, Luo Shicheng immediately spotted An Xiaotong, who was supposed to be back in her hometown. Lin Qingping also saw her and made a point of explaining to Luo Shicheng.
“An Xiaotong is the orphan of a martyr. Her grandparents are too old to take good care of her. Besides, An Xiaotong was misled by bad people before, and it was not that the child intentionally wanted to harm Yan Yan. So we decided to give An Xiaotong another chance.”
However, if you feel this is inappropriate, we can ask An Xiaotong to withdraw.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yan was the first to speak up, "Yan Yan isn't afraid."
Luo Shicheng believed in Luo Yan's abilities and let Luo Yan and Xiao Xiu walk into the kindergarten on their own.
An Xiaotong looked at Luo Yan and smiled, a smile like a hunter seeing his prey. Luo Yan, on the other hand, turned her gaze to the four soldiers guarding the kindergarten gate.
An Xiaotong followed Luo Yan's gaze to the soldiers, but Luo Yan raised her hand as if it were a pistol, pointing the muzzle at her.
"Bad boy, biubiu."
An Xiaotong shuddered as if she had really been shot, fear gripping her heart instantly.
"You're the bad one, you're the one who should be shot."
An Xiaotong ran away crying.
"Ha," Luo Yan rolled her eyes and walked into the middle class with Xiao Xiu.
She agreed to go back to the kindergarten and continue to suffer from the noise just to see how shameless Xiang Yu could be.
As expected, Xiang Yu did not disappoint her; An Xiaotong had become her pawn.
Things are getting more and more interesting. Luo Yan sat down on the chair next to Xiao Xiu and gave An Xiaotong a wicked smile.
After calming down, An Xiaotong was furious that Luo Yan had scared her and wanted to yell at her, but then she saw Luo Yan laughing in a terrifying way that looked like she was about to skin her alive.
An Xiaotong felt a chill run down her spine and burst into tears again.
Despite her bad reputation, An Xiaotong did not elicit any sympathy from Lin Qingping or the caregivers; they didn't even ask her anything.
Luo Yan refused to return to the noisy little class no matter what, and Lin Qingping turned a blind eye in order to keep the model student.
Luo Yan and Xiao Xiu listened attentively in class and played with their friends after class. They didn't object even when An Xiaotong insisted on joining them.
Luo Yan took some time to specifically go to the VIP room to look for Xiao Rong's two grandsons, but they were both gone.
It seems that without her maternal grandfather as a pillar of support, Xiao Rong's children have no ability to stand on their own two feet.
Xiao Rong has been scheming for so many years, but she hasn't been able to use her grandfather's connections to help her children rise to the top. So what's the point of all her scheming?
Luo Yan shook her head and walked back with her hands behind her back, like an old cadre on patrol. She was seen by Teacher Zhang, who smiled and told Teacher Xiao Zhang when he took the children to play in the yard.
Luo Yan was a hero in their class, but she went to the principal's class. She couldn't say anything, and Teacher Zhang gave her a few perfunctory words with a forced smile. She was very sad that Luo Yan hadn't even come to see her since she came back.
Just then, Ms. Zhang's skirt was gently tugged. When she turned around, it was An Xiaotong from the middle class.
Teacher Zhang dislikes An Xiaotong at all, but maintains a friendly attitude.
"An Xiaotong, what's wrong?"
An Xiaotong pointed to Luo Yan, who was playing hopscotch with other children under a tree not far away.
"Teacher, I picked this up after Luo Yan fell down."
Teacher Zhang looked around but didn't see Lin Qingping. Since Luo Yan was indeed a child in the junior class, she reached out and took the copper thimble from An Xiaotong's hand.
When Teacher Zhang realized that it was a thimble that had been polished to a patina, his expression immediately changed.
"Are you sure this is Luo Yan's?" Teacher Zhang asked An Xiaotong.
An Xiaotong nodded. "She said before that an uncle gave it to her to play with."
Teacher Zhang's face darkened, but given An Xiaotong's past record, Teacher Zhang remained suspicious.
"Why didn't you return it to Luo Yan yourself? Why did you give it to me?"
An Xiaotong looked embarrassed and replied in a low voice.
"I know Luo Yan is angry with me, I don't dare..."
