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

"It's so delicious! Mengmeng is amazing!"

A sweet smile appeared on Mengmeng's face; she was very happy that everyone liked the rose cakes she and her brother made.

But Mengmeng noticed that only the little girl in the corner hadn't come over.

She picked up a rose cake and ran to the little girl's table.

She handed it to me, soft and chewy, saying, "Here, have some, it's delicious."

The little girl looked up at Mengmeng, her eyes glistening with tears of gratitude, and whispered, "Thank you, Mengmeng."

She carefully accepted the rose cake.

It was then that Mengmeng realized that she was missing three fingers on her right hand.

Mengmeng paused for a moment, but immediately flashed a sweet smile, as if she hadn't seen anything.

He gazed at her tenderly and said softly, "I hope you like it."

Tangtang took a careful bite of the rose cake, and her eyes lit up immediately.

The sweet taste filled her with a warm feeling.

She looked up at Mengmeng and praised, "Your rose cakes are so delicious! Mengmeng, you're amazing! By the way, my name is Tangtang~"

Mengmeng smiled, her eyes crinkling, "Tangtang? Your name is so cute! I love it~"

Tangtang was touched by Mengmeng's kindness and innocence, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Before Mengmeng came, most of her classmates distanced themselves from her because of her severed finger, making her feel like a rejected person.

But Mengmeng didn't show any disgust and even enthusiastically shared the delicious food with her.

Mengmeng is truly different; her kindness makes her incredibly warm.

Just then, the two little boys finished their rose cakes in a few bites, with crumbs still stuck to their mouths. Before they could wipe them away, they hurriedly ran to Mengmeng.

"Mengmeng, give us another piece! It's so delicious!"

The two even shoved each other a few times, almost coming to blows.

Mengmeng blinked her eyes and said in a soft, sweet voice, "I'm sorry, I've already given out all the ones I brought today. I'll bring you more tomorrow, okay?"

Although the two boys were somewhat disappointed, they nodded with anticipation when they heard that there would be something tomorrow.

Just then, the classroom door was gently pushed open.

Sweetie walked in reluctantly, carrying her little schoolbag.

She was full of complaints. She had no interest in studying at all, but the Lu family insisted that she achieve something in her studies, as if they expected her to match the status of "the Lu family's little princess".

But what she cared about more was how to secure the wealth brought by the Lu family and the affection of her family members; nothing else held any appeal for her.

With a sense of dissatisfaction, she scanned the classroom.

My gaze was quickly drawn to a group of classmates gathered together.

The children's faces were filled with joy and admiration, and their eyes were fixed on a little girl.

The little girl was smiling gently, wearing an exquisite princess dress.

It's...Mengmeng!!

Sweetie was taken aback, and then a deep anger welled up inside her.

She originally thought that Mengmeng would stay in the orphanage forever, or repeat the tragedy of her previous life, while she was the only little girl who received love from her family.

But the reality is that Mengmeng was also adopted, and the adoptive family is even more powerful than the Lu family!

The thought of how she and the Lu family were refused entry to the Gu family not long ago, and how they humbly begged for help, filled her with shame and indignation.

Hatred and jealousy intertwined in her heart.

Sweetie clenched her fists tightly, staring at Mengmeng with a cold and resentful look in her eyes.

Mengmeng's gaze inadvertently fell on the doorway, where she saw Tiantian standing.

She paused for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.

After being knocked unconscious and injured by Tian Tian at the Lu family's house, Mengmeng realized that her former friends were no longer trustworthy.

Her small figure stood there calmly, her eyes clear yet carrying a hint of aloofness.

She no longer felt the same closeness to Tian Tian as before.

If Sweetie tries to hurt her again, she won't remain silent. She secretly thought to herself that she would tell her brothers about any harm done to her and make sure Sweetie gets the punishment she deserves.

Mengmeng straightened her chest slightly, determined to protect her new life in her own way.

Sweetie, carrying her schoolbag and with an arrogant expression, sat down directly next to Mengmeng.

He glanced at Tang Tang out of the corner of his eye and said coldly, "You, come and help me with my homework."

When Tangtang heard Tiantian's voice, she trembled slightly with fear and reached out to take Tiantian's homework.

Seeing this, Mengmeng's eyes flashed with anger.

I finally understand why Tangtang was bullied by Tiantian before.

She stopped Tangtang with heartache, picked up the homework, and unceremoniously tossed it back to Tiantian.

"Write it yourself! Tangtang is my friend, you're not allowed to bully her anymore!"

Sweetie was taken aback, a hint of anger flashing across her face, but she suppressed it and stared coldly at Mengmeng.

Mengmeng spoke up again, neither humble nor arrogant, warning: "Tiantian, I still remember that you took my place. If you don't behave and cause trouble again, I will tell Uncle Lu everything."

Sweetie forced a smile, seemingly admitting defeat, but a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes, and her hatred for Mengmeng deepened.

Tangtang was deeply moved by Mengmeng's protection, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Mengmeng, you're so kind~~ I can help you with your homework from now on."

Mengmeng smiled sweetly and shook her head, "Good friends don't need to thank me, I'll do my homework myself."

She gently patted Tangtang's hand. "You're not allowed to do anyone's homework anymore. If anyone bullies you, ask your parents for help. We're not afraid of them!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of sadness flashed in Tang Tang's eyes, "But... my father is sick."

Her voice was filled with deep sadness, and her eyes were dim.

Mengmeng gently held Tangtang's hand and tenderly comforted her, "It's okay, Tangtang. You still have me! Let's think of a way together to help your dad, okay?"

Tangtang nodded, a glimmer of hope rekindling in her eyes.

She held Mengmeng's little hand tightly, her heart filled with admiration and dependence on Mengmeng.

The school bell rang, and the first class was art.

Ms. Yun, wearing a floral dress and with slightly curly hair, walked into the classroom and announced with a smile that the theme of the lesson was "My Home".

The children excitedly began to draw, and Mengmeng also carefully lowered her head to draw.

In her painting, the entire Gu family stands together with smiles on their faces. She also included Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, Mimi, and Wan Wan Sui in the painting, filling the scene with warmth and love.

Beside her, Tangtang was quietly drawing. The drawing depicted a family of three: her father, her mother, and herself. However, the father in the drawing was sitting in a wheelchair, and a hint of sadness appeared on his face.

Mengmeng cautiously leaned closer and softly asked Tangtang, "Tangtang, is this your home?"
