Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 370 Reunion

After Bai Xiaoyu apologized, she stood frozen in place, hoping that Xiao Yanchao would soften his stance and say "forgive me" so that this embarrassing situation could pass quickly.

But after waiting for a long time, Xiao Yanchao kept his eyes down and didn't say a word.

His silence was like a fine needle, pricking Bai Xiaoyu's heart and making her feel uneasy, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.

"Chaochao, can you forgive me?" Bai Xiaoyu suppressed her anxiety and forced a gentle smile.

"I don't forgive you."

Xiao Yan Chao finally raised her head, her clear eyes showing no trace of timidity, her tone polite yet firm.

“My mother said that not everyone’s apology should be accepted; a mistake is a mistake.”

Although he didn't understand Bai Xiaoyu's sudden change of expression, he keenly sensed that her apology was full of perfunctory words and lacked any sincerity.

These words were like a slap in Bai Xiaoyu's face. She was so angry that she wanted to grind her teeth to powder, but when she caught a glimpse of the governor's cold gaze, she could only forcefully suppress all her anger and dared not utter the slightest dissatisfaction.

"Chaochao, Grandpa will take you inside. You'll be late for school."

The governor didn't look at Bai Xiaoyu again. He bent down, picked up Xiao Yanchao, turned around and walked into the kindergarten, leaving her standing there.

The surrounding parents immediately erupted in discussion, pointing and whispering without any attempt to hide their opinions.

Every word felt like a knife piercing Bai Xiaoyu's heart.

Her face turned ashen, her lips trembled with anger, and in the end, she could only lower her head in embarrassment, quickly squeeze through the crowd, and slink away.

"Xiaoxi, just who is your friend Chaochao?"

Qin Shengsheng watched Bai Xiaoyu's retreating figure, secretly feeling a sense of satisfaction.

Just because Chaochao, at such a young age, could make Bai Xiaoyu suffer, she liked this child from the bottom of her heart.

She recalled the governor's imposing manner earlier and couldn't help but lower her voice, "And his grandfather, he's too formidable! I didn't dare to breathe loudly when he was speaking!"

"A dynasty is just a dynasty, what kind of background could it have?"

Little Qin Xi shook her head, seemingly understanding but not quite. She slung her backpack over her shoulder and ran towards the kindergarten, not forgetting to turn back and wave to Qin Shengsheng.

"Auntie, I'm off to school!"

She thought to herself that with Chaochao by her side, the originally somewhat boring kindergarten life suddenly became interesting.

Qin Shengsheng watched her niece skipping away, feeling both angry and amused. Thinking about Bai Xiaoyu's actions today, her heart tightened, and she secretly resolved: even if the sky were to fall, she would absolutely not leave the kindergarten today; she would keep a close eye on them and ensure that Chaochao and Xiaoxi were never bullied again.

But as soon as she turned around, her gaze suddenly stopped, and her eyes widened instantly.

At the intersection ahead, a car pulled up in a flash. The door opened, and Han Yan got out with a familiar figure.

It turns out that Xiao Yanchao went missing last night, and Yan Lan and Han Yan didn't sleep a wink all night.

This morning, Uncle Tao said he would take the child to kindergarten, so the two of them immediately drove over, but they got stuck in traffic on the way, which is why they are still here.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!"

Qin Shengsheng could hardly believe her eyes, fearing that the person in front of her would suddenly disappear like she had a few years ago.

Ignoring the stares of others, she pounced on Yan Lan like a madwoman, hugging her tightly with her arms, as if she would disappear if she let go.

Yan Lan was startled by the sudden hug and was momentarily stunned.

Han Yan, standing beside him, quietly turned her face away, her expression showing a hint of guilt.

Of course she knew that Qin Xi was in this kindergarten. She deliberately sent Chaochao there so that the two siblings would have more opportunities to spend time together, but she did not expect to run into the Qin family here.

"Waaaaah... Sister-in-law, it really is you..."

Qin Shengsheng's tears welled up instantly.

"So I wasn't mistaken yesterday, right? When Liu Shiyu bullied me yesterday, you were secretly helping me, weren't you?"

Yesterday in the building, Qin Shengsheng suspected that someone had helped her, but after watching the surveillance video, she still couldn't be sure that the person was Yan Lan.

Now that she was standing right in front of me, all my doubts were instantly answered, and the image of Yan Lan protecting her several times at the No. 1 Middle School a few years ago became clear in my mind.

Looking at Qin Shengsheng in her arms, whose makeup was ruined from crying, Yan Lan's heart was touched.

She raised her hand and patted Qin Shengsheng's back, saying with a mix of helplessness and heartache, "Shengsheng, don't cry. How old are you? Why are you crying like a child? Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"

After much coaxing, Qin Shengsheng finally stopped crying and smiled through her tears, but she still held onto Yan Lan's arm tightly, refusing to let go.

"Sister-in-law, where have you been all these years?"

Qin Shengsheng sniffed, her voice still choked with sobs, "My mom searched the entire Singapore, but she couldn't find you anywhere..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Shengsheng bit her lip in annoyance. She really knew she had to bring up the most sensitive topic!

Back then, my sister-in-law and brother divorced, and she left with a broken heart. Now that they've just reunited, bringing up these things is just like rubbing salt into her wounds.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she secretly blamed her brother for everything.

Yan Lan clearly didn't care about this little incident, and simply avoided the topic of divorce, saying, "I went out for a while, missed some old friends, and then came back."

"Then why did you come to St. Mary's Kindergarten?"

Qin Shengsheng's attention was immediately drawn to the new question. Her eyes lit up, and she guessed naturally, "Sister-in-law, you must have come to see Xiaoxi!"

Upon hearing the name "Xiao Xi," a fleeting glint flashed across Yan Lan's eyes.

"Sister-in-law, you are Xiaoxi's mother, you should come to see her openly and honestly!"

Qin Shengsheng became more and more excited as she spoke, shaking Yan Lan's wrist with anticipation in her voice, "Let's have dinner together after she gets out of school, okay? And let's invite my mom too. If she knows you're back, she'll be so happy she won't be able to sleep!"

Faced with Qin Shengsheng's expectant invitation, Yan Lan's fingertips curled up quietly, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

How could she not want to see her daughter? But she had reservations.

If the mother and daughter are truly reunited, how can Chaochao, who attends the same kindergarten, keep it a secret?

The resemblance between the two children's eyes and brows will eventually reveal that they are twins.

Just as she was clutching the hem of her clothes, her thoughts in turmoil, a voice as cold as ice suddenly came from behind her, precisely interrupting the conversation: "No."

Yan Lan froze, and almost instinctively turned around.

A black sedan was parked on the side of the road at some point. The door opened, and Qin Shi's tall figure stepped out of the car.

He wore a well-tailored gray suit, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay. When his gaze fell on her, it carried a complex and inexplicable feeling.

Those three words instantly made the surrounding air quieter.

"Brother! Why won't you let your wife see the child?!"

Qin Shengsheng stomped her feet in anger.

“When we divorced, we agreed that Xiaoxi would go to the Qin family and it had nothing to do with her.”

Qin Shi's cold voice echoed in the air.
