Transmigrated as a vicious stepmother, I raised a child who became a heartthrob.

"Little Pei Hui, are you sure this is your mother?"

The young man crouched down, stared intently into the child's eyes, and asked earnestly.

"Teacher Yang, I'm sure."

Pei Hui's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, felt as light as if it had landed on a cloud. His eyes were filled with unconcealable happiness.

"Could you please wait a moment, Mother Pei Hui? I have some questions I'd like to ask."

There were other children whose situations needed to be confirmed one by one. Teacher Yang smiled gently and asked politely.

"can."

Jiang Zhuhua casually rubbed Pei Hui's face, the thin little bit of flesh, the child's skin was so smooth, it was especially addictive to touch.

Pei Hui stood there obediently, tilting his head back, letting himself be touched.

After spending about a week together, the two got along a bit better. Looking at his obedient appearance, Jiang Zhuhua couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

Originally, it was just for money, but seeing the other person's expectations made me truly feel a sense of responsibility to take on another life.

Jiang Zhuhua arrived in a hurry, without having prepared anything. Looking around, he saw some parents still carrying baby bottles filled with formula.

As soon as the children came out, they rushed straight to their parents and the bottles in their hands, like swallows seeking shelter. They drank as if they hadn't had enough to eat at school.

"I'll bring you some next time too."

Jiang Zhuhua wasn't sure if children this age still needed to drink formula, but it seemed like other children did.

As for milk powder, Pei Hui is short and thin, so drinking a little won't hurt him.

"I'm a big kid now. Don't drink, it's childish."

Pei Hui looked around and saw the baby bottles. In an instant, he understood what his mother was talking about, and a slight blush appeared on his face. He gradually grew bolder and, under her guidance, began to express his thoughts directly.

"That means you want to drink it. We'll drink it secretly when we get home."

A hint of a smile also appeared in Jiang Zhuhua's eyes.

"Mom, where's your car? It's so congested outside. Where did you park it? Today a friend told me that his dad parked his car haphazardly, and then the police took him away."

Once they got to know each other better, Pei Hui even seemed to forget all the previous unpleasantness and gradually became more talkative.

“I asked an older brother to drive for me. The car is moving very slowly now, and we'll be leaving by the time he gets here.”

The two chatted through the iron bars, and the scene suddenly resembled a prison visit. However, neither the adult nor the child noticed this.

"Won't that cost a lot of money?"

"Mom has money."

"But Mom works very hard to earn money, and she doesn't have a job right now. Our money is limited. I can wait a little while, Mom."

Pei Hui was clearly looking forward to someone picking him up, but when he heard about money, a look of pain immediately appeared on his face. At such a young age, he already had a concept of money.

"But today is your first day of school. Mom promised you."

Jiang Zhuhua softened his tone. If a villain experiences a lot of love when they are young, they are less likely to lose themselves due to setbacks or a little bit of affection when they grow up.

Moreover, this is her child, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will be her family for the next ten years or even longer.

"Mom, I love you so much, more than you can imagine. And you are so much better than I ever thought."

Pei Hui didn't know why his mother had suddenly changed. Just before, he had only met her briefly before she took him far away.

But my mom is so amazing now! Her hands are so warm, and her words are so gentle.

Pei Hui was deeply immersed in this warmth and unwilling to extricate himself.

The teachers at the entrance answered parents' questions one by one. Some of the younger children started crying when they saw their parents, making the entrance quite noisy. Only this side seemed like a secluded little world, where two people were whispering to each other.

The two had just finished discussing what to eat for dinner when Teacher Yang finished her work.

“Mother Pei Hui, please come in. Let’s talk in the reception room.”

There are just too many people here; it's not convenient to talk about personal matters. Teacher Yang gestured for them to proceed.

Jiang Zhuhua nodded slightly, carefully walked past the group of little kids, and entered the school. Everywhere was decorated with warm and bright colors.

It's decorated like a fairytale world.

Jiang Zhuhua led Pei Hui and followed behind Teacher Yang.

Pei Hui didn't know what he had done wrong. If Teacher Yang dared to talk nonsense, if he cried, would his mother choose to believe him?

Parents and teachers also cannot be alone in a private space, as there are cameras in the meeting room and reminders at the door.

"Here's the thing, I wasn't in charge of the morning health check this morning. I noticed some marks on his body during outdoor activities today. I'd like to know more about it."

Teacher Yang filled two cups with warm water from the water dispenser, one for the child and one for the parent.

Despite looking like she's only recently graduated, she's already very capable and makes people feel comfortable.

"This is the situation. This is my ex-husband's child. He has a bit of a temper... so after the divorce, I got custody of the child."

Jiang Zhuhua didn't know what kind of person the teacher was, so she wouldn't speak ill of her ex-husband. Children sometimes don't understand the difference between kind and unkind words; once they hear them from a teacher, they can become a weapon.

“I know about those injuries, and I’m currently receiving treatment. Ms. Yang, don’t worry, I can vouch for this incident and it has nothing to do with your kindergarten.”

Jiang Zhuhua gave a serious guarantee. Teacher Yang, on the other hand, seemed relieved.

"Oh, I see traces of medicine. As long as the treatment is going well, that's good."

After saying this, Teacher Yang looked at Pei Hui, who was drinking warm water next to her, squatted down, and said in a gentle voice, "My best Pei Hui, could you go outside and wait for your mother and teacher for a while? We have something to talk about."

"Go outside and wait for your mom and teacher. I will reward Pei Hui with a little red flower."

He pulled a sticker from his pocket and waved it. Pei Hui just stared at it without moving.

"Pei Hui, can you wait five minutes for Mom?"

Seeing that Teacher Yang's reward system wasn't working, Jiang Zhuhua took out his phone from his pocket and set a timer.

"Mom, don't listen to my bad words. I'm the best child."

Pei Hui didn't want to go out, but she couldn't refuse her mother's request, so she could only say this.

"I know."

Jiang Zhuhua made a guarantee.

"Mom, you must remember. Don't hate me because of what Teacher Yang said. I am the best child in the world. There is no one better than me."

Pei Hui emphasized this again.
