Me at two years old, a queen!

Duo Duo, who couldn't stand Fei Fei's behavior, immediately rushed out and started snatching the little red flower from Fei Fei's hand. Fei Fei, who was used to being domineering, also hit Duo Duo back.

Zhuangzhuang and Zheng Yiming saw Feifei pulling Duoduo's hair and stepped forward to help, trying to pull Feifei away.

"Waaaaah~, Zheng Yiming, how dare you help Duoduo hit me! I'm going to tell my dad and grandma to kick your mom out of my house!"

When Wang Jinbao and Xu Tinglan arrived at the kindergarten after receiving the call, Wang Jinbao, who lived nearby, waited for the other parents at the entrance.

Seeing Xu Tinglan come over, he was also puzzled: "Since we kids started playing together, we've been fighting and causing trouble less often. We haven't had our parents called in for a long time. I'm a little afraid to go in alone!"

"By the way, Duoduo's mom, I was driving just now and didn't hear what the teacher said clearly. What were they fighting about this time?"

"Did you pick up candy that someone else dropped and eat it? Or did you force other children to eat your food? Or did you steal chicken legs from other children's bowls?"

After all, every fight among their children had involved food; anyone who didn't know better would think their families were starving.

"I'm not entirely sure either. Their teacher just said it's hard to explain over the phone and that we should talk about it when we get there! By the way, where's An'an's dad? Did he go in first? Or is he still waiting? Should we wait for him?"

"I'll give him a call. I arrived halfway here; he couldn't possibly have been here before me. He's probably in a meeting or something. The richest man is always so busy!"

When Lu Junxing received Wang Jinbao's call at the construction site, he was somewhat dazed. His daughter seemed to still be in Bailian City; it was impossible for her to teleport. He took out his phone again to confirm An'an's location.

After finding out what had happened, the group realized that only two of the three kids had caused trouble that day. Wang Jinbao hung up the phone with some regret, sighed, and then went to school with Xu Tinglan.

"Oh, it's Zheng Yiming's mother? What's this? Even education experts are getting their parents called in?"

Wang Jinbao, nonchalantly chewing on a blade of grass he'd plucked from a roadside flowerbed, chuckled when he saw He Yirong dressed impeccably in the office corridor.

"I'm not saying this to be mean, but your expertise isn't all that great. Your son Zheng Yiming has had about the same number of times his parents have been called in this semester as my son Zhuangzhuang."

"Zhuangzhuang's dad! I'm telling you, can't you control your child? How many times has this happened? Why does your Zhuangzhuang keep provoking my Zheng Yiming for no reason?"

"When has my Zheng Yiming not received any awards for excellence? These past few times, the reason we've had to call our parents in is because your Zhuangzhuang keeps causing trouble for my Zheng Yiming."

"Tch! We haven't even entered the office yet, and the teacher hasn't said anything wrong with my Zhuangzhuang. How come you know? It takes two to tango! Don't you know that?"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Xu Tinglan quickly pulled Wang Jinbao inside. From the doorway, they saw that the child was unharmed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Xu Tinglan and Wang Jinbao were about to go inside, a little girl with a princess-style hairstyle ran past them and jumped into He Yirong's arms.

"Mom~, you're finally here! Quickly teach Zheng Yiming a lesson! He hit me and even stole my little red flower with Duoduo and Zhuangzhuang!"

It wasn't just Wang Jinbao and Xu Tinglan who were surprised—when did He Yirong become this little girl's mother? Everyone in the office, except for Zheng Yiming who had his head down, was staring in astonishment at the "mother and daughter" embracing each other.

However, Wang Jinbao guessed what had happened and looked at He Yirong with disdain, but he didn't say anything mean in front of the child anymore.

Finally, Qi Rongyu came to his senses and invited the parents to sit down. Only after Fei Fei's father's assistant arrived did Qi Rongyu explain what had happened.

Looking at Feifei nestled in He Yirong's arms, and then at Zheng Yiming sitting alone to the side, Qi Rongyu finally couldn't hold back and waited until things were resolved.

So they kept He Yirong behind and chatted for a while longer.

After all, changes in parents' marriage will inevitably have some impact on children, especially since Feifei and Zheng Yiming are in the same kindergarten.

She also hopes that Zheng Yiming can live a good life and not be influenced by the adult world. He has a long road ahead and endless possibilities in the future.

An'an was having a blast shopping, especially since she was carrying a huge red envelope (a gift of money). Qin Feng only let her indulge in paying extravagantly before putting the red envelope away.

Qin Feng paid for everything after that, and An An didn't stand on ceremony; towards the end, she simply...

"Crazy Uncle~, the bill's ready!"

"Uncle Crazy, do you think this painting is pretty? Can I give it to my brother?"

"Crazy Uncle, I want to buy this too!"

"..."

In the end, Qin Feng was rescued by Lu Junxing, who understood An An. Lu Junxing knew that An An could be quite wild when she was having fun, and he was worried that Qin Feng's cold personality wouldn't be able to handle her.

Normally, it's fine for Qin Feng to look after the child, but it's quite difficult for him to play with the child.

"Have you bought enough? Let's go home!"

"No~, you go back by yourself. I still want to buy flowers for Grandma and Auntie, and Aunt Liu wants some too~"

"Look at your money, do you even have enough to buy it?"

Lu Junxing was initially unaware that she had secretly brought a red envelope to the banquet, nor did he know when she had learned the custom of giving gifts at banquets.

When I learned that she later took the large red envelope given to her by the old man to give as a gift, I found her both cute and funny; such a young child already wanting to be an adult.

"Hmm~, where did all my money go?"

An'an took the open red envelope from Lu Junxing, looked at it, and even turned it upside down to examine it further: "Did the red envelope steal someone's money?"

"This red envelope doesn't care about your money; it was filled with money every day before today!"

Lu Junxing tapped her head lightly, then turned her head to look at the shopping bags that had already been packed and were ready to be sent back to Haicheng.

"Look at all this money you've spent on all these things!"

An'an regretfully reached into the big red envelope again, hoping to pull out some more red money, but reality was far from what she expected.

"Dad? Do you have any money left?"

No, check my pockets. Do you have any?

Lu Junxing, fearing she might want to continue shopping, quickly showed her his pockets upon seeing her suspicious look, and then exaggeratedly said:

"We don't even have enough money for food later!"

"What are we going to do? I'll starve! I won't be able to eat well anymore!"

"Sigh~, then I'll work hard tomorrow, and you'll help out with the work too. Let's try to have enough money to eat something good tomorrow, okay?"

"What about today? Aren't we eating today?"

Lu Junxing was just thinking of taking her back to the hotel to cook her a bowl of noodles and that would be enough to teach her a lesson. An'an never seemed to have any sense of restraint when she went out shopping and had no concept of how to use money.

Lu Junxing was planning to give her a good talking-to that evening about the rational allocation of resources. Although the Lu family could afford to let her spend money like this for the rest of her life, she also needed to have the ability to manage her own finances.

Just as I was about to tell her to go back to the hotel for noodles, I heard...

"Daddy~, let's go visit someone! Little Shu's house is sure to have delicious food. He even invited me to his house as a guest before~"

An'an seemed to have solved a major problem, even more so than her father. And her father hadn't gone hungry thanks to her, she nodded, affirming herself.

"Thank goodness you have me, your little darling, or you would have starved to death!"
