The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

A large number of parents gathered at the school gate to drop off their children. Teacher Yue Liang stood on one side of the school gate, holding the class's red flag.

"Mommy, Teacher Moon is over there!" After getting out of the car, Mengmeng excitedly pulled Ruolan's hand and walked towards where Teacher Moon was standing.

Sweetie was left behind and slowly walked towards the direction where the class was gathered.

"Teacher Moon~" Mengmeng greeted with a smile.

"Mengmeng~ And who is this?" Teacher Yue greeted Mengmeng and then looked at Ruolan.

Information about Ruolan is readily available online, but it's all found online. In reality, this is the first time Teacher Yue Liang has met Ruolan in person.

Ruolan smiled and nodded at Teacher Yue Liang, "Hello, Teacher Yue Liang, I am Mengmeng's mother."

"Hello, Mengmeng's mom." Teacher Yue Liang responded with a smile.

The parents who had already arrived saw Ruolan and curiously moved over to her side.

"This must be the Duchess! I've heard so much about you! I've always known that my child and the Duchess's child are in the same class, but this is the first time I've had the chance to meet them."

A woman dressed in an expensive dress and with brown curly hair stepped forward and greeted them.

Ruolan replied shyly, "Everyone here has the same identity; we are all mothers."

"Yes, yes, as expected of the Duchess, her appearance and demeanor are so different from ordinary people like us," the woman said obsequiously.

She wanted to flatter Ruolan in order to secure a cooperation opportunity for her company with the Gu family, but Ruolan perceived these words as sarcastic.

She looked at the woman, her smile still on her face, but she was already planning to leave.

"Teacher Moon, when will the outdoor activities approximately end?" Ruolan turned slightly to the side, deliberately avoiding the opportunity to interact with women.

"Well... Mengmeng's mom, our outing today will last all day. The exact return time will depend on the situation this afternoon. However, we will inform parents of the pick-up time in the group before we return. All information will be received through the group," Teacher Yue Liang gave the official answer.

The parent who had just started the conversation casually took Ruolan's arm, feigning familiarity, and asked, "Mengmeng's mom, is this your child's first time participating in an outdoor activity organized by the school?"

Actually, it's not that. It's just that Gu Shiyu is meticulous by nature, and he can handle anything very well. That's why Ruolan and the others aren't as worried as they are now about any unexpected situations that might happen when he goes out with the school.

But Mengmeng is different; this is her first time participating.

The woman observed Ruolan's expression and, seeing that she remained silent, immediately understood. "Look, that boy is my child. He's participated in these kinds of activities countless times, and we also enroll him in summer camps during winter and summer vacations. I'll remind him to stay by Mengmeng's side no matter what he does today."

Following the woman's finger, Ruolan saw a chubby boy pulling on the girl's braid in front of him. Her earlier thought of agreeing vanished instantly.

"Um, thank you for your kindness. But I have two children, and the two sisters can keep each other company and take care of each other," Ruolan politely declined.

Seeing that she could potentially establish a connection with the Gu family, the woman was unwilling to let the opportunity slip away. She called out to the boys who were still playing around in the group, "Fatty, come to Mommy's!"

"No, I'm playing!" Fatty shouted unwillingly.

"Fatty~ come here, Mommy has something delicious here." The woman bent down slightly, lowering her posture to coax the child who was reluctant to come over.

Seeing this, Ruolan was really worried about letting Mengmeng stay with such a child.

"Um, Fatty's mom, really, it's not necessary. My two children are very independent and don't need your children's help to take care of them. Besides, Teacher Yue is going with us, and she will take care of anything the children need as soon as possible."

"Mengmeng's mom, you might not know this, but the whole class has to go, so the teachers will be very busy and won't be able to take care of every child in time."

Despite Ruolan's repeated attempts to persuade her, she still didn't want her child to have any contact with Mengmeng.

"Mom," Gu Shiyu called out.

The two locked eyes, and Ruolan instantly understood the meaning in Gu Shiyu's eyes.

"Teacher Moon, please take care of Mengmeng and Tiantian." After Ruolan finished speaking, she turned to the woman and said, "Excuse me, I have something to attend to and must leave first."

"Okay, you go ahead with your work, I'll take care of the child."

"No, thank you for your kindness."

Ruolan didn't want to be entangled with women, so she seemed to be fleeing the famine and headed towards Mengmeng in the group.

Mengmeng and Tangtang were playing together when they saw Ruolan coming over, and the two children immediately greeted her politely.

"Hello Auntie."

"Hello Tangtang. Have fun today! Remember to help each other out with Mengmeng."

Tangtang nodded, "Auntie, don't worry, Mengmeng and I will get home safely."

"Hmm." Ruolan's gaze then fell upon Tiantian, who was standing absentmindedly at the back of the group.

Compared to other children, Sweetie seemed unusually deep-seated.

Are you feeling unwell?

Ruolan thought to herself, then lifted her foot and walked towards Tiantian's direction.

"Tiantian."

Hearing Ruolan's call, Tiantian impatiently raised her eyelids.

Seeing this, Ruolan quickly leaned closer and took her hand, "Are you not feeling well? Why don't we skip it and go another time?"

"I'll go!" Tian Tian shook off Ruolan's hand.

She also needed to take advantage of today's outdoor activities to complete the tasks arranged by Master Ziyang, so how could she not go?

Tangtang turned around and saw the situation at the back of the line. She bent down and whispered to Mengmeng, "Mengmeng, your sister seems unhappy. Your mother is trying to comfort her."

哄？

Mengmeng immediately turned around and looked behind her.

Ruolan had already squatted down, holding Tiantian's hands in both of them. "Okay, okay, Tiantian, if you want to go, then go. But if you're not feeling well, you must tell your teacher immediately. Then Mommy will come and pick you up, okay?"

"Hmm." Sweetie's tone was flat, and her gaze wandered aimlessly.

School activities are organized by class. Today, we went to the nursing home, and three classes from Class 1 went together to take care of and help the elderly residents.

Tangtang looked away and nuzzled Mengmeng's shoulder. "Want to go over there?"

"No," Mengmeng refused. "My sister was already unhappy yesterday. If I go over there, she'll definitely be even more unhappy. Then Mom will be in a difficult position too."
