“Ziyu, let’s find a place to talk properly. I wronged you back then, and I was temporarily…”
Before he could finish, Jiang Ziyu impatiently hung up the phone.
What was the point of saying all this? Six years had passed; did he really think she would get back together with him based on his nonsensical words?
She reopened her phone and directly blocked his number.
After a series of operations, her ears instantly felt clear.
“Mommy.” Yuze, who had been playing, came to Jiang Ziyu’s side. His little face had lost its playful mood, filled with concern for her.
Jiang Ziyu squatted down and wiped the sweat from his face with a scented handkerchief. “Are you uncomfortable?”
Yuze shook his head and asked, “Was that Daddy who called Mommy just now?”
He didn’t know who was on the other end of the phone, but seeing Jiang Ziyu so angry made him feel uneasy.
“No, it was an old friend. But he did something that wronged Mommy, and I don’t intend to forgive him,” Jiang Ziyu explained.
From childhood to adulthood, she had never kept anything from Xiao Ran and Yuze. She believed that children were also individuals with their own thoughts. Although their thinking wasn’t comparable to adults, they had the right to know everything.
Hearing that it wasn’t Di Mingjue, Yuze let out a relieved sigh, his little face regaining its relaxed expression.
Jiang Ziyu rubbed his cheek, took his hand, and together they joined Qianqian and Xiao Ran.
After playing for a long time, the three children had to attend classes. While they were not around, Jiang Ziyu went to the principal’s office and opened her laptop to handle work matters.
Unknowingly, the sky turned dark. Qianqian and Xiao Ran were picked up and taken to her other home in the capital, while she returned to the Di residence with Yuze.
As soon as they entered, Wu Xuerou walked over from another area with Xiaoshan.
“Sister-in-law,” Wu Xuerou greeted her proactively.
Xiaoshan was also very well-behaved, softly calling out “Auntie” to Jiang Ziyu.
Yuze sized up Xiaoshan from the side. Perhaps because he had bullied Qianqian in the past, he felt a strong dislike for Xiaoshan when facing him.
“Is Qianqian adapting well to the new kindergarten?” Wu Xuerou reached out to touch Qianqian’s face, pretending to be intimate.
Before she could touch her, Qianqian dodged to Jiang Ziyu’s other side. Her arm missed, and she awkwardly grasped at the air before pulling it back.
Jiang Ziyu paid it no mind and replied perfunctorily, “Mm, it’s quite good.”
As she spoke, she led Qianqian upstairs past Wu Xuerou.
Watching the figures of mother and son leave, Wu Xuerou revealed a look of hatred.
“Mom,” Xiaoshan tugged at Wu Xuerou’s hand. “Qianqian walks so strangely, completely different from before.”
Hearing her son’s words, Wu Xuerou also noticed.
Qianqian used to take small steps, but they were filled with the etiquette of a young lady from a wealthy family. The current Qianqian, however, walked with steady and swift strides like a boy.
But if not Qianqian, then who could it be?
After all, her facial features and appearance were still the same as before.
The doubt that arose in her mind was quickly dismissed by Wu Xuerou. She pulled Xiaoshan along and walked towards another area.
Back in the room, after ensuring the door was closed, Yuze tugged at Jiang Ziyu’s arm. “Mommy, was that the boy who used to bully Qianqian just now?”
“No,” Jiang Ziyu said, taking off his jacket and finding new pajamas for him. “The boy who bullied Qianqian has already left the Di residence.”
“But I saw him, and I don’t like him at all,” Yuze said, expressing his feelings.
Her actions paused. Qianqian rubbed his head. “If you don’t like him, then don’t interact with him. Although he didn’t openly bully Qianqian, he participated when other children bullied Qianqian.”
The reason she didn’t discipline him was simply because he had a mother who knew how to pretend.
From the moment Jiang Ziyu entered the Di residence, she had sensed the scheming behind Wu Xuerou’s apparent weakness. However, she believed that if no one offended her, she wouldn’t offend anyone, and she could live peacefully in the Di family.
