Me at two years old, a queen!

Hello, Aunt Xu!

"An'an~, Zhuangzhuang~, hello there, do you want to come to Auntie's house to play together?"

"Um... let's go play again next time~" An'an shook her head.

"Duoduo said you want to go play on TV with her. Can people go on TV too?"

"Yes, Aunt Xu, I want to go too, okay?"

Zhuangzhuang also ran over and imitated An'an, hugging Xu Tinglan's other leg.

When Wang Jinbao arrived later and saw his chubby son, who looked like an eyesore, he slapped him down and yelled, "Speak properly! What kind of man talks like that, making such a fuss!"

"Besides, you're such a big lump, what TV could possibly fit you?"

"Why not just buy a bigger TV?"

Zhuangzhuang felt embarrassed to have been hit in front of his best friend: "Dad, can't you be a little more sensible like An'an's dad?"

"An'an's dad doesn't care about things that happen to us kids!"

Only then did Wang Jinbao notice Lu Junxing, dressed in a suit and looking sensible, standing to the side. He awkwardly tucked his hands in his pockets and gave him a greeting.

An'an also heard Zhuangzhuang praising her father. She grinned, turned around, and hugged the man: "I knew it~, hee hee~, I've always raised my dad very well!"

Seeing the two children who didn't care about their parents' well-being, Xu Tinglan, having experienced similar situations herself as a parent, offered a helpful explanation to everyone.

She plans to take Duoduo on a parent-child reality show where the parents take their children on a trip and take care of them throughout the entire trip!

Lu Junxing glanced at the parents who were secretly gathering around them. The kindergarten entrance was frequented by prominent figures in Haicheng, and they all seemed to be trying to eavesdrop on some information when they saw the three of them together.

He impatiently tugged at her troublesome bun, reminding her to leave, but she stubbornly refused to go, clinging to her mother.

All three children clung to Xu Tinglan before the group took them to the Imperial Fragrance Pavilion.

An'an is a regular here, and she ordered a lot of delicious food for her friends from the menu. Xu Tinglan and Wang Jinbao looked at the big shot sitting opposite them, somewhat bewildered: "Why are we eating here?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit quiet, Xu Tinglan told everyone about the parent-child variety show.

"I never would have guessed! Back in my day... well, when I was a kid, I used to harvest rice, collect peanuts, and husk corn. I literally worked from before dawn until dark, so hard that I was scared of it."

"I never imagined that these things would become money-making experiential projects."

"..."

Knowing that the project was funded by the big shot in front of her, Xu Tinglan didn't dare to speak, but silently poured Wang Jinbao a glass of water.

"Hey~, thanks, girl!" Wang Jinbao was feeling thirsty, picked up his cup, and boasted in one gulp, "The tea at Yuxiang Pavilion is definitely better than anywhere else!"

"However, it's not bad to let the children do these chores. These kids probably don't even recognize millet. Wouldn't that make them a laughing stock of their ancestors? They don't even know what the food they eat looks like!"

"Hey, girl, look who's the boss behind you guys! I want to sign my Zhuangzhuang up too! He shouldn't just be all fat and not even know what he's eating!"

Xu Tinglan held her cup, smiling silently. She glanced at the man opposite her, and seeing no displeasure from him, she stood up, cup in hand, saying, "Mr. Lu! I must thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Lu Junxing remained calm, but he did raise his cup slightly in response.

Wang Jinbao rubbed his hands together, glanced gratefully at Xu Tinglan, and picked up his cup as well: "Ah~, so it's President Lu's project. I knew it! Who has such good taste?"

Seeing that the man also raised his glass to him, Wang Jinbao felt relieved and thought to himself, "This guy is quite easy to talk to, much more cultured than those gluttonous idiots!"

The group chatted about the parent-child program all night, with Lu Junxing occasionally chiming in. The meal went fairly smoothly.

This was the first time the three friends had eaten together like this, and they were all thoroughly enjoying their meal. Lu Junxing watched the three children walking unsteadily...

I have some doubts about whether playing together with three children who aren't particularly bright might lower their intelligence and make them even dumber.

-

"Hello? Grandpa! Waaah~"

"What's wrong? My sweetie, do you miss Grandpa? I'll have someone pick you up right away!"

Since the incident, An'an has been constantly by Lu Junxing's side, except when she's at kindergarten. Lu Jing hasn't spent much time with her for some time now.

"Grandpa! My dad is being naughty again, what should I do?"

An'an cried and complained that because her father had beaten her to death at the hospital last time, and her grandfather had kicked the trash can to pieces, she had developed the idea that "Grandpa is powerful and can beat Dad!"

"Did your dad bully you again? That brat has really gone too far! I'm calling him and giving him a piece of my mind in a bit!"

"Waaah~, give him a beating! Grandpa~, if you beat my dad up, he'll behave!"

An'an still trusted the results from last time: "They have money, they can pay, Grandpa, can you help them beat up Dad?"

"My dad is so disobedient!"

"Um... come on! Tell Grandpa how he bullied Guai Guai this time?"

Lu Jing, who had been deceiving the child, thought he should try to be less gullible with his granddaughter next time, since he also felt quite guilty about it.

An'an immediately started ranting and tattling, telling everyone how her father wouldn't let her be on TV: "He just doesn't want her to be on TV, he wants to go secretly by himself!"

After tattled, An'an walked triumphantly to the man's desk, put her hands on her hips, and even fearlessly stomped on his foot: "Hmph~, you annoying dad!"

"Serves you right for being naughty! Hehe~"

Having listened to a bunch of troublemakers and their slander all the way, Lu Junxing was so angry at her provocation that he laughed out loud and grabbed her, slapping her hard.

"Woo~"

Hearing the commotion downstairs, Aunt Liu immediately put down the rag she was holding and, as if familiar with the process, picked up her phone to make a call.

During this time, Lu Junxing had been monopolizing An'an, frequently sending messages to the old house. Aunt Liu felt like she was becoming an underground party member, feeling a great sense of accomplishment every time she delivered a message.

"Lingling~"

Lu Junxing stared at the phone number; it rang again immediately after stopping. He glanced at the troublesome child still clinging to his lap, took the phone, and expertly held it away from his ear.

Then Lu Jing's roar came from the phone: "Stop it right now! Bring me back to me right now!"

"What kind of father are you! You're going to beat my granddaughter to a pulp!"

"What's wrong with the child wanting to go out and have some fun?"

"Yeah! What's wrong with playing around?"

"Is there anywhere my precious child can't go? What kind of father are you?!"

"Yeah! What are you good for!"

Lu Junxing looked at the troublesome girl who was smugly crossing her legs, pinched her face, and shoved the phone in front of her: "Cry! Cry an even more miserable story for your grandpa! Make your grandpa furious!"
