To make up for the debt owed to Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Yun Yan glared at her, and Liu Yan hesitated, unable to finish her sentence. However, Liu Yan was never one to back down. She glared back at Yun Yan and continued to lecture her son, "Do you need those country bumpkins to like you? You have so many good friends! For example..."

"Liu Yan!" Yun Yan had reached his limit, but he couldn't argue with his son or lose face in front of outsiders. The weight of his shout was considerable.

Having been married to him for many years, Liu Yan could tell when he was truly angry. She could read the meaning behind his words from his fiery eyes: Liu Yan, if you say another word, you can get back home!

Liu Yan's lips trembled, and she finally fell silent, but tears of grievance were already welling up in her eyes.

Yun Yan lowered his head and spoke to his son, "Xiao Shan, have you ever thought about why they don't like you?"

Yun Xiaoshan scratched his head and whispered, "I stole their things and even hit them... it was a prank... but I stopped hitting them later..."

"Why did you stop fighting later?" Yun Yan asked.

"Because Li Zhiyuan came, I... can't beat him..." Yun Xiaoshan was both helpless and dejected.

Yun Yan almost laughed, but held it back. With a look, she stopped Liu Yan from getting angry again because her son had been beaten by Zhiyuan. She continued to talk to her son, "But it's too late now, isn't it? They won't play with you anymore."

Yun Xiaoshan nodded.

"It's okay. A real man should find his own way to solve problems. Do what you think, say what you want to say, and use your own brain."

Yun Xiaoshan looked at his father, pouting his chubby face, "Then, if I go and ask, will they still refuse to take a picture with me?"

Yun Yan said, "If they take a picture with you, it means they have forgiven you. If they still don't take a picture with you, it's the price you should pay for bullying your classmates in the past. A real man should be responsible for his actions."

Yun Xiaoshan pouted, about to cry again. He didn't want to be a man, nor did he want to take responsibility. But he really wanted to take a picture.

He looked at his father, who knew he wouldn't tell Zhiyuan and the others. Then he looked at his mother, who was angry and didn't like Zhiyuan either...

After hesitating for a long time, he still shook the chubby boy over.

The little girl with the round face became wary as soon as she saw him. "Yun Xiaoshan, what are you doing here?"

Yun Xiaoshan stammered, "I...I want to take a picture with you."

"Why are you taking pictures with us?" Little Round Face, now that she was with Zhiyuan, had Zhiyuan's backing and spoke louder when facing Yun Xiaoshan. After all, Zhiyuan was now the teacher of the whole class! He was everyone's hero!

"I...I also participated in the boxing, just like you..." Compared to Xiao Yuanlian, Yun Xiaoshan's momentum had diminished considerably.

"But we don't want to take pictures with you!" the round-faced girl said directly.

Yun Xiaoshan scratched his ear. "Xiaoyuan, I was wrong before. I won't bully you anymore, okay?"

The little round-faced girl was slightly surprised. "Is this an apology?" Yun Xiaoshan can apologize?

Yun Xiaoshan nodded, "Yes, I'm sorry, Xiaoyuan, I'm sorry, Li Zhiyuan, I'm sorry, Du..." He was about to say "I'm sorry, Du Xiaomai" when he immediately shook his head, "I didn't bully Du Xiaomai."

The little round-faced girl looked at Zhiyuan, but Zhiyuan said, "You decide, I'm easy to please."

Zhiyuan found the Yun family strange. There was someone like Xiaoshan's mother who was not likable, and someone like Grandpa Yun who was a good person. He didn't know Yun's father and the two uncles well, so he couldn't say.

The little girl with the round face thought for a moment and said, "Okay then, let's take pictures together! You can't bully us anymore."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiaoshan beamed with joy, "Really? Great!"

The little round-faced girl added, "Forget it, you won't be able to bully us anymore anyway, and we might never see each other again."

Yun Xiaoshan, who had been happy for less than a second, exclaimed, "Why?"

"Because we're going to primary school! Who knows if we'll even be in the same school!" Xiaomai interjected.

The little round-faced girl nodded. "Go ahead and take the picture, it's our turn."

This news upset Yun Xiaoshan, who had finally managed to get a chance to take photos, and he looked sullen while taking the pictures.

On the other side, Yun Yan looked at Yun Xiaoshan with a smile on his face, but Liu Yan beside him was unhappy and complained to Yun Yan, "You really are something, making your son bow down to these bumpkins, aren't you ashamed? It breaks my heart to see you like this! Don't you feel sorry for him?"

Yun Yan's smile faded. "I feel sorry for him! But what hurts me is that all the other children are playing happily together, while our son is all alone, without friends, ignored by everyone, and even disliked by everyone! That's what hurts me!"

"So what? Who wants to be friends with these people? Doesn't Yun Yan have friends? Those kids all come from high-level executive families..."

"Liu Yan, this isn't how you behave." Yun Yan was utterly dejected. "Alright, you can go home now. I can't say anything with our son here. Go home now, before I lose my temper!"

Liu Yan was furious. She didn't know what she had done to offend Yun Yan. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Yun Yan's face turn fierce. He was really about to lose his temper. She dared not speak out, and stomped her foot and left.

The children took a group photo together, and then pulled other children to take photos together. Although Yun Xiaoshan didn't seem very happy, he was in every single photo!

After the children finished taking photos, they even dared to ask their parents to take photos with them. Zhiyuan and his group took photos with Lin Qingping and Gu Youlian. Yun Xiaoshan also wanted them to take photos with his parents, but he knew his mother wouldn't agree. However, when he noticed his mother had left, he immediately came over and took his father's hand, "Can you take a photo with us?"

Yun Yan readily agreed, and even sought the little round-faced girl's consent, "It seems you're in charge, can I take pictures with you guys?"

The little girl blushed. "I didn't make the decision. Go ahead and take the picture."

"Alright!" Yun Yan lifted up the little round face and took a picture.

The girl with the round face looked rather embarrassed.

After the photos were taken, the activity ended, and the afternoon was a free day for parents to take their children home.

Yun Yan suddenly asked, "Zhiyuan, how long has it been since you last visited your grandfather?"

Zhiyuan was stumped by the question.

He hadn't been there in so long; ever since he left the Yun family, he hadn't wanted to step into their gates again.

“Grandpa has moved to the suburbs. Xiaoshan and I are planning to go visit him this afternoon. Would you like to come along?” Yun Yan suggested with a smile.

Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment and looked at Lin Qingping.

In this matter, Lin Qingping respected Zhiyuan's own wishes.

Zhiyuan thought for a moment and asked, "Is it just the few of us?"

What we mean is, except for Liu Yan, because she's not here right now.

“Yes, just us,” Yun Yan said. His wife wouldn’t go to the suburbs either.

"Okay!" Zhiyuan nodded. "Then let's go!"
