She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

The people living here are all either rich or noble.

Most of them are people who find the city too noisy and come here to escape to a quiet place.

The woman was driving when she started to feel increasingly uneasy.

The child was dressed quite well, and his clothes looked like they were tailor-made, but he was walking barefoot on the road.

If he were truly a young master from a wealthy family, how could he have fallen to the point of traveling alone?

She couldn't help but wonder, could this be someone's illegitimate child?

The woman shook her head as soon as the thought crossed her mind.

It is truly malicious to speculate about a child with such thoughts.

She quickly asked, "Little friend, do you know which residential complex your mother lives in?"

Fu Xingze shook his head. Lu An only told him that his mother lived in Peach Blossom Town, but did not tell him the exact location.

"I have no idea……"

The woman was even more confused.

Even though she didn't want to make malicious assumptions about the child, she couldn't help but speculate about the child's parents at this moment.

What kind of parents are they? They just left their child outside and didn't even tell him his location.

What should you do if you encounter human traffickers or face danger?

"Little boy, are you sure your mother lives here?" the woman asked.

"Or I'll just take you to the police station."

Fu Xingze immediately became nervous and shook his head repeatedly.

"Really, it's not necessary. My mother lives here!"

As he spoke, Fu Xingze quietly reached for his seatbelt and, taking advantage of the woman's inattention, quickly opened the car door and ran away.

"Thank you, Auntie! I'll go find my mom myself!"

"Hey! Kid! Be careful!" the woman exclaimed anxiously.

She tried to unbuckle her seatbelt to get out and chase after Fu Xingze, but in her frantic efforts, she couldn't find the switch.

When she looked up again, Fu Xingze's small figure had already disappeared.

The woman sighed, "They really run fast."

She thought about it for a moment, then started the car again.

The child is in Peach Blossom Town and can't leave anytime soon. I'll call the police later; she has urgent business to attend to.

Fu Xingze was terrified that the kind aunt would catch up with him and take him to the police station, so he ran as fast as he could.

After an unknown amount of time, he felt that no one was following him anymore, and then he slowly stopped.

He turned around and saw that the woman hadn't followed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

People strolling around the nearby park had already noticed him and were looking at Fu Xingze with strange eyes.

An older woman approached and asked, "Little friend, can't you find your way home?"

Fu Xingze nodded quickly, "Yes!"

He wanted to say that he had come to find his mother, but then he remembered Lu An's instructions not to tell anyone that Lin Qingran was his mother, so he could only grit his teeth and speak.

"I'm here to see my teacher, her name is Jiang Jiuge, do you know her, Grandma?"

"Jiang Jiuge, Teacher Jiang's apprentice?" The old woman asked in surprise.

"When Jiuge first came here, she was just a child herself. I never imagined that she would be taking on apprentices now."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xingze knew that the old woman knew Lin Qingran, and quickly said so.

"Grandma, can you take me there?"

"Alright, alright, Grandma will take you there right away." The old woman nodded quickly.

"But you have to put on your shoes first."

The old woman beckoned her son over and asked him to give Fu Xingze the shoes she had just bought for her grandson.

"How is it? Is it suitable?"

Fu Xingze had a sweet tongue and kept praising her.

"It's perfect, so beautiful! Mother-in-law, you have such good taste!"

"This child is quite eloquent." The old woman smiled broadly and was about to lead Fu Xingze to find Jiang Yuanbai's house when Fu Xingze suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" the old woman asked, puzzled.

Fu Xingze's gaze was fixed on one spot. The old woman followed his gaze and saw him looking at the little girl Lingdang who was playing with her grandson.

"Oh dear, I forgot, that little girl is your teacher's daughter. We can take you all back together," the old woman said.

Fu Xingze remained unmoved, as if he hadn't heard anything at all, staring blankly at the bell.

The old woman was somewhat surprised. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she had actually seen hatred in Fu Xingze's eyes just now, and she immediately felt something was wrong.

Before she could figure it out, Fu Xingze suddenly shook off her hand, ran towards the bell, and then shoved her away.

As soon as Lingdang came down the slide, before she could even stand up, she was suddenly pushed violently and fell to the ground.

The sand under the slide cut through Lingdang's hands, leaving several scratches on her palms. Lingdang burst into tears.

"You're not allowed to cry!" Fu Xingze commanded coldly.

He stared at the bell, his eyes filled with resentment, almost as if he wanted to pop his eyeballs out.

Lingdang was wearing a beautiful pink princess dress, and her hair was carefully styled into two small braids.

This must have been carefully dressed up by Lin Qingran. She shone like a little princess and became the focus of attention wherever she went.

He had rushed all the way just to see his mother, and had already made himself look utterly disheveled.

Little Fu Xingze didn't know what jealousy was, but the moment he saw the bell, he felt a pang of resentment.

Before, his mother only had him as her child and gave him all her love. Now, however, someone who seems to be his sister has suddenly appeared, competing with him for her affection.

He hadn't even reunited with his mother yet, but he had to watch a little girl who was practically a stranger to him receive all of his mother's love. Fu Xingze simply couldn't accept it!

With tears blurring her vision, Lingdang wiped her face and finally saw Fu Xingze clearly, immediately recognizing him.

Then, Bell cried even louder.

"Grandma! Grandma! He hit me!"

The old woman rushed over the moment the bell was knocked over, quickly picked it up, and her gaze towards Fu Xingze was no longer as loving as before.

"What's wrong with you, kid? Why are you hitting people for no reason?"

The bell was crying pitifully, and the old woman felt very sorry for it, so she kept comforting it.

"Don't cry, Lingdang, it's alright, it's alright, Grandma will blow on it for you!"

The old woman opened the tightly clenched little hand holding the bell and found that her palm was broken in several places, and even sand had gotten into some of them. Her heart ached even more.

"Ouch, how did you get so hurt!"

Looking at Fu Xingze again, his gaze was now filled with hostility.

Lingdang clung to the old woman's neck, wailing, "Grandma, I don't know him at all! He hit me! Grandma, please call the police and have him arrested!"

Lingdang knew that she couldn't let Lin Qingran come out to see Fu Xingze, otherwise Fu Xingze would definitely pester her.
