After the divorce, I trained my dog, and the scumbag father and son knelt down at my door.

correct.

Looking for Dad.

Talk to your dad properly, and he will definitely agree to go.

With this thought in mind, Zhuo Xuan finally felt a little more at ease.

He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice Dong Yan sitting on the sofa.

"Xuanxuan!" Dong Yan called out to him.

Zhuo Xuan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Looking up at Dong Yan, the scene of her ruthlessly pushing him down the stairs uncontrollably flashed through Zhuo Xuan's mind, and his body stiffened.

Fear arose in my heart.

The small figure froze on the spot.

Dong Yan, however, didn't care at all.

She's just a kid; whatever he thinks of her, she won't care.

but……

He must not be allowed to challenge my authority as the head of the family.

"Come here!" Dong Yan waved to Zhuo Xuan, her voice a little louder.

Zhuo Xuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to her.

Glancing at the red invitation card he was holding, Dong Yan asked, "What are you holding in your hand?"

"It's an invitation from the kindergarten," Zhuo Xuan explained. "The kindergarten is having a parent-child activity tomorrow, and I want my dad to go so he can participate with me."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Dong Yan immediately frowned.

She said bluntly, "Your father is sick in the hospital, don't bother him with such trivial matters."

"do you know?"

"But I want Dad to go..." Zhuo Xuan said anxiously.

He couldn't imagine how the other children would laugh at him if his father or mother didn't come tomorrow.

It's terrifying.

Do not!

He shouldn't do this!

"Hmm?" Dong Yan's face darkened, and she scolded him, "Shut up! As a member of the Zhuo family, how can you be so insensible?"

“Even if Dad isn’t sick, his time is precious, and he simply can’t go to kindergarten.”

"have you understood?"

Zhuo Xuan counted on his fingers, his eyes slightly red, and he looked up at Dong Yan.

Meeting his gaze, Dong Yan misunderstood.

She leaned back on the sofa, pursed her lips dismissively, and said, "Don't look at me. I don't have time to do such boring things with you."

"How about this!" After thinking for a moment, Dong Yan glanced at the butler standing behind her. "I'll have the butler accompany you tomorrow."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Xuan's eyes reddened even more.

He was unwilling to give up and wanted to fight for himself, "Grandma, I..."

"Alright, that's enough. It's settled then. You can go upstairs now!"

Dong Yan interrupted Zhuo Xuan directly, waving her hand impatiently at him.

Zhuo Xuan bit his lip hard.

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I felt incredibly wronged.

But nothing can be done.

He could only run upstairs crying.

……

The next day, at the kindergarten.

The standardized games haven't officially started yet, so the children are free to move around in their own classroom areas.

To avoid any discriminatory treatment, the main garden and the branch garden were combined together for the first time.

There is no distinction between high and low status; all children can play games together.

Just then, Yan Niannian arrived.

Xiaoyun and the other children were overjoyed to see her, skipping and jumping like little birds as they ran towards her, calling out, "Auntie Niannian!"

"Hey!" Yan Niannian smiled and hugged the children.

They were all happy and smiling.

The atmosphere was wonderful.

This immediately drew the attention of all the other faculty and staff, including Teacher Hu.

Their gazes fell approvingly on Yan Niannian.

These children are sensitive and fragile. If Yan Niannian hadn't nurtured their young hearts with love, how could they have developed such sunny and self-reliant personalities?

Kind, beautiful, and full of love.

She is such a good kindergarten director.

Zhuo Xuan, standing nearby, watched this scene with his little fists clenched tightly, his eyes red with jealousy.

Dressed exquisitely like a little prince, he seemed completely out of place among the other aristocratic children.

The Zhuo family's butler was in a similar predicament.

At the age of 50, he was suddenly given the daunting task of attending a parent-child activity in place of Zhuo Xuan's parents, and the atmosphere at the scene left him at a loss.

Because even though they are all young children, they are ruthless in their competition and when they gang up on each other to exclude their peers.

Just like right now...

Other families send their fathers and mothers in person, but the Zhuo family only sent a housekeeper.

So, unsurprisingly, he and Zhuo Xuan were ostracized.

Yan Niannian gently stroked Xiaoyun's head and spoke softly to the children.

Suddenly, she noticed a strange gaze fixed on her.

She paused for a moment, then instinctively looked over.

Suddenly, their eyes met.

Zhuo Xuan snorted coldly, his lips pursed, his composed face filled with deep rebuke.

He reprimanded Yan Niannian for her lack of manners.

It's as if to say, "Your own son is right here, why are you still hanging around those stinking orphans?"

Is there something wrong?

Then, Zhuo Xuan proudly raised his eyebrows.

She stood there with her hands on her hips, waiting for Yan Niannian to come over and coax her.

Unexpectedly, Yan Niannian averted her gaze in the next instant, seemingly unconcerned.

Zhuo Xuan was dumbfounded when his hopes were dashed.

His face turned red with anger.

At this moment, the principal's voice rang out, "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to participate in this parent-child activity. Now, our first game, 'You Fight, I Grab,' is about to begin."

"Each session consists of five families. The number drawn determines which session you will participate in.

After that, a teacher stepped forward and organized the children to draw lots one by one.

While she was at it, Yan Niannian took a look at the game rules on the sign.

The game of "fighting and grabbing" took place in a pre-built shed.

The ceiling is beautifully decorated.

Various kinds of plastic fruits were hanging on it.

The participating families consisted of an adult carrying the child on their back, with the child carrying a bamboo basket on their back.

The children reached out to pick the plastic fruit from the top.

The family with the most members wins the group.

Then, the first-place winners from each group will compete in the final.

After Yan Niannian finished reading the rules, the children had also drawn their lots.

To Yan Niannian's surprise, Xiaoyun and Zhuoxuan were unexpectedly paired together, and they both held number slips with the number "1" written on them.

Yan Niannian didn't feel anything, but Xiaoyun was a little uneasy.

She kept glancing nervously at Zhuo Xuan.

Following her gaze, Yan Niannian also glanced at it.

Immediately, he noticed the fierce look in Zhuo Xuan's eyes.

He made no attempt to hide his anger, just staring at Yunyun.

It was as if... she had done something utterly heinous.

Yan Niannian frowned, raised her hand, and gently touched Xiaoyun's head to comfort her, "Yunyun, what's wrong?"

"Play games with your auntie for a while. We'll do our own thing and ignore the other unimportant people."

"OK?"

Yan Niannian's voice was gentle and pleasant, as if it had a magical power, and it entered Xiaoyun's ears, instantly soothing the unease in her heart.

After her tense expression relaxed, she smiled and nodded firmly, "Mm!"

Zhuo Xuan kept glancing at Yan Niannian.
