Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Charlene nearly burst out laughing when she saw the names prominently listed.

She hurriedly tried to type something to salvage the situation, but her fingers hesitated on the keyboard.

But Jenny had already taken the lead, eagerly sending a long message in the group, talking about her social anxiety and instructing her colleagues to take good care of Shengxia.

The others immediately responded, all assuring her, "Don't worry! It will definitely happen, little sister, don't be afraid."

"Meeting your idol is such a joyful thing, even an introvert should become an extrovert!"

Charlene looked at the screen full of promises. The situation was completely beyond saving. She had no choice but to go, and could only accept reality in despair.

To avoid embarrassing herself again, she quickly tried to salvage the situation in the group chat: "Dear brothers and sisters, in order to prevent me from doing something shameful due to nervousness, please let me stand at the very back of the crowd when we see you off at the airport. Thank you!"

You probably don't want to see me kill myself by banging my head against a wall, do you?

She deliberately exaggerated the situation.

That way, I can stand at the very back.

Then, I can hide behind the crowd so that Shi Ye won't notice me, and it won't be so awkward.

But her words made a group of people laugh uncontrollably.

Everyone replied, saying that she was so interesting to talk to and that they couldn't tell she was introverted at all.

Charlene thought to herself: I'm serious!

But despite the laughter, everyone assured each other with unwavering confidence, "Absolutely not, don't worry!"

"Yes, we'll stand in the front row, you just need to be in the back and shout along with us."

After seeing it, Charlene felt a little relieved, but not completely at ease.

Although I've already decided to go, I still need to make more thorough preparations in order to avoid being exposed.

I definitely can't show my face that day; I have to be fully armed and completely covered up to avoid being discovered.

So she immediately took action, went out and headed straight to the grocery store on the street, and picked out several thick black masks.

Then, she went into a clothing store and deliberately chose loose-fitting clothes and pants that were two sizes larger than usual.

When she tried it on, the reflection in the mirror looked incredibly rustic, like an old farmer's wife who had just finished working in the fields; she almost didn't recognize herself.

Yes, that's exactly the effect she wanted.

Then, I promptly paid and went home.

When she got home, she casually put the bag on the sofa.

When Xia's mother saw this, she frowned with disgust.

She stated firmly, "Linlin, although I'm happy that you bought me clothes, I don't want them."

Running the shop is busy, but I don't want to wear such ugly clothes!

Why don't you just return it?

Charlene was both amused and exasperated. She shook her head and said, "Mom, this wasn't bought for you. I wanted to wear it myself."

Upon hearing this, Xia's mother frowned even more deeply.

She couldn't help but doubt her daughter's judgment, wondering if there was something wrong with her.

She stared at the clothes, muttering to herself, "What is this young girl trying to do by buying these lifeless, old-fashioned clothes that even I shake my head at?"

Charlene smiled vaguely and replied, "It is somewhat useful, but I'll only wear it once, so don't worry."

After saying that, she quickly took the clothes back from her mother's hands and turned to go back to her room.

Xia's mother couldn't help but ask her husband, who was reading the newspaper, with concern, "Old Xia, why is your daughter acting so strangely? What's wrong with her this time?"

Mr. Xia put down his newspaper, a doting smile on his face. "Who can guess what's on a young girl's mind? Don't worry about it, as long as she's happy."

Charlene was also helpless about her abnormal behavior.

She didn't want to either! But what could she do? She was forced into it.

For the sake of the plan that day, I had to endure it no matter how ugly I looked.

She sighed bitterly.

However, seeing these clothes made me feel a little more at ease!

……

Over the next two days, Zhou Si's condition improved considerably; his finger recovered quickly, and the wound had almost completely scabbed over.

After a careful inspection, Marcy finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A relieved smile appeared on her face. "It wasn't for nothing that I applied the medicine to you every day. Once the scab falls off naturally, your finger will be back to how it was before, without leaving a single scar."

Zhou Si kissed her and said softly, "You've worked hard!"

Marcy shook her head, a bitter smile appearing on her lips. "This little bit of hardship is nothing!"

Compared to what you've suffered, this sacrifice is nothing.

As long as you're doing well, I'll be content!

Zhou Si nodded slightly, his gaze deep as he replied, "I will be fine!"

That's what they said, but that afternoon the assistant came to report, "The Bond family, unexpectedly, is actually raising money to pay off their debts."

I heard that Isha even sold some jewelry to help cover the funding shortfall.

At this point, the assistant asked with some doubt, "They haven't become obedient and know they can't go against you, so they've meekly admitted defeat?"

Zhou Si narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "If we could behave ourselves, we wouldn't be the Bond family."

You should try to guess what their intentions are. A leopard can't change its spots!

The assistant nodded, agreeing.

These people are always cunning; they certainly won't let this go easily.

Moreover, with tricks constantly emerging, one must not be fooled by appearances and must always remain vigilant.

He then asked, "So what kind of scheme are you plotting?"

Is this an attempt to lower your guard, feign weakness while secretly harboring ulterior motives?

Zhou Si nodded.

The assistant immediately followed up with, "So, what should we do next?"

Zhou Si leaned back on the sofa, a cold smile playing on his lips. "The money is practically being handed to us, so of course we should accept it. As for what their schemes are, we'll just have to wait and see."

I'd like to see what tricks they'll pull.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he turned to his assistant, ordering sternly, "Keep pushing them, make them pay back more money!"

Don't let it turn out to be just a show at the crucial moment. Keep a close eye on things!

The assistant nodded quickly and replied, "Okay, I'll go right away."

After saying that, he hurriedly left.

However, that very night, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded at the Lantes headquarters building, indicating an accident.

David's office caught fire due to improper facilities.

Flames shot up from the corner of the wall and spread rapidly. Amidst the billowing smoke, the wiring was burned out, causing the smart lock to suddenly lose power and jam.

David coughed violently from the thick smoke and pounded on the door to no avail; he was nearly burned alive.

After the firefighters arrived, it took them a lot of effort to break down the door and get in.

When they dragged him out, he was already on the verge of death.

Meanwhile, Zhou Si had just finished showering, changed into comfortable loungewear, and was leisurely keeping Marcy company, snuggling on the sofa watching a movie.

The screen flickered with light and shadow, and Marcy nestled against his shoulder, discussing the plot in hushed tones.

Suddenly, the cell phone on the table rang loudly, and Grandpa Lantes' anxious voice came through, "Ah Si, go to the hospital to see your father. Something happened at the company. They say he was burned and is still in the emergency room!"
