Woman 30: I regained my life after divorce

In Liu Wanning's heart, although Zhou Xinyao was her biological mother, their relationship had gradually drifted apart, and they were not even as close as if they were strangers.

Zhou Xinyao has been focusing all her energy on Bai Yuechen lately, so she has neglected Liu Wanning's thoughts and just assumed that Liu Wanning was throwing a tantrum.

"Wanning, stop making a fuss. You're a big girl now. Tell Mom, how are you doing at school?"

Zhou Xinyao forced a smile and spoke to Liu Wanning with a cheerful tone.

However, Liu Wanning did not give Zhou Xinyao any face at all, and the expression on her face remained as ferocious as ever.

"Hmph! Now you know to come to me, now you know to care about me? When I was being bullied alone at school, why didn't you come to my aid?"

Liu Wanning was filled with resentment. Her legs were gradually showing signs of improvement, and she no longer needed a wheelchair or crutches. However, she still had some strange movements.

Upon hearing Liu Wanning's words, Zhou Xinyao's eyes quickly showed surprise, and she asked with a puzzled expression.

"What? Wan Ning, you've been bullied at school! Tell me, who bullied you?"

Zhou Xinyao was very anxious. Recently, she hadn't been able to focus all her attention on Liu Wanning, and she had no idea how Liu Wanning was doing at school.

Now that Liu Wanning has recounted her experiences at school, Zhou Xinyao is very worried.

Liu Wanning clenched her teeth, as if she had imagined some scene. Her face turned pale instantly. She gave Zhou Xinyao a resentful look, quickly closed the door, and ignored Zhou Xinyao.

The door was closed, and Zhou Xinyao stood there blankly, at a loss.

Based on Liu Wanning's behavior, Zhou Xinyao was certain that everything Liu Wanning had said was true.

Zhou Xinyao knocked on the door again.

"Wanning, Wanning, open the door quickly! Don't be angry with Mommy. Mommy knows she was wrong. Please open the door quickly."

Zhou Xinyao patiently called out, trying to get Liu Wanning inside the room to open the door and open her heart to him.

On the other side of the door, Liu Wanniang lay on the bed, covering her ears tightly with her hands, not wanting to hear any noises outside the room.

"You say you care about me, but it's all just for your own face. You don't care about me, your own daughter, at all!"

Liu Wanning muttered to herself, her disgust for Zhou Xinyao growing even stronger.

Zhou Xinyao continued to knock on the door, calling out patiently, but no matter what, Liu Wanning showed no sign of opening the door.

The old housekeeper followed the sound upstairs and saw Zhou Xinyao standing at the door, looking puzzled.

"Madam, isn't Miss Wan Ning coming out? Should I put the food at her door?"

With the old butler's intervention, Zhou Xinyao had no choice but to stop what she was doing and shook her head slightly at him.

"Wan Ning is a little angry with me. Why don't you take the food to the door first? If she doesn't want to eat it, then forget it."

"Old housekeeper, please call Wang Ma to the living room. I have some questions I'd like to ask her."

Zhou Xinyao gave the order to the old housekeeper, and then went straight to the living room.

During this time, Zhou Xinyao also went to the nursery to check on Bai Yuechen's condition. Seeing that Bai Yuechen was sleeping soundly, Zhou Xinyao left with peace of mind.

A short while later, Wang Ma walked quickly to Zhou Xinyao. She looked at Zhou Xinyao with a puzzled expression, waiting for her to speak.

Zhou Xinyao naturally didn't need to hide anything and directly asked Wang Ma about her doubts.

"How has Wan Ning been doing at school lately? Has she been bullied by any of her classmates?"

"I haven't checked on Wan Ning's studies for a long time. How's her study going lately?"

Upon hearing this question, Zhou Xinyao realized that she had neglected Liu Wanning in many ways.

After hearing this, Wang Ma silently breathed a sigh of relief. Before coming to the living room, she had thought she might be criticized by Zhou Xinyao because of Xiao Song's matter.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Ma truthfully told everything she knew.

"Reporting to Madam, Miss Wan Ning's studies have generally improved somewhat with tutoring. However, her ranking in the class is only average."

In reality, Liu Wanning is not very bright when it comes to learning. This may be due to her father's genes. She simply cannot figure out any problem.

But in front of Zhou Xinyao, her biological mother, Wang Ma didn't dare to say that Liu Wanning was a little slow-witted.

"As far as I know, Miss seems to be doing well at school. Sometimes when I pick her up, I occasionally run into her homeroom teacher, who always tells me that Miss is very well-behaved in class."

Wang Ma was assigned to pick up and drop off Liu Wanning every day, so she would naturally come into contact with Liu Wanning's homeroom teacher and other classmates.

After giving her report, Wang Ma stood up straight and waited for Zhou Xinyao to speak.

A moment of silence fell over the living room as Zhou Xinyao scrutinized Wang Ma standing before her, trying to determine if she was lying.

After observing for a while, Zhou Xinyao quietly withdrew her gaze; she did not believe that Wang Ma showed any signs of lying.

So there's only one conclusion: Liu Wanning was indeed ostracized at school, and Wang Ma was completely unaware of this problem.

Zhou Xinyao sat on the sofa, her eyes slightly narrowed, revealing an indescribable danger.

Wang Ma subconsciously took a step back, unsure of what she had said wrong, and suddenly felt a little nervous.

In an instant, Zhou Xinyao put on a smiling mask again, and with a smile, she told Wang Ma to leave the living room and attend to her own business.

The old housekeeper carried the already cold food down the stairs and shook his head slightly when he saw Zhou Xinyao.

"Miss Wan Ning is still not eating."

The old housekeeper felt helpless; he had long been accustomed to Liu Wanning's personality in the old house.

Zhou Xinyao offered words of comfort.

"It's alright, then put the food back in the kitchen."

"By the way, old housekeeper, please tell Wang Ma that starting next week, I will be in charge of taking Liu Wanning to and from school."

The old butler nodded in agreement and then turned and left the living room.

Zhou Xinyao didn't linger in the living room and turned around to go straight back to the nursery.

I glanced at my watch and realized it was almost time for the new postpartum nanny to start work.

The noise outside wasn't loud, but it could still reach Zhou Xinyao's ears through the nursery door.

It seems the new postpartum nanny has started work on time.

Zhou Xinyao began to plan her future arrangements. Bai Yuechen now had a new postpartum nanny to take care of her, while she would have to focus all her attention on Liu Wanning.

"Wanning, Mom will definitely protect you."

Liu Wanning, who was upstairs, stayed in her room, completely unaware of all the arrangements Zhou Xinyao had made.

He shook his head in pain, his mind replaying scenes from his time at school.
