"My Ultraman!" Zhou Yang was angry, his eyes red as he looked at An An, "You did it on purpose!"
An An also took out a hundred yuan from his bag and casually tossed it in front of him, "I'll give you money, don't cry."
Tears welled up in Zhou Yang's eyes, and he was so choked by this remark that he widened his eyes, holding back his tears, "You... you!"
"A return of favors," An An held Ruan Ruan's hand and walked past the Ultraman's palm, heading back.
"What does 'a return of favors' mean?" Ruan Ruan saw An An imitating Zhou Yang and found it a bit amusing. At this moment, she covered her mouth and asked in a low voice.
Before An An could explain the meaning properly, Zhou Yang rushed over and threw a punch at him.
An An dodged Zhou Yang's punch with a slight shift of his body and pulled Ruan Ruan further away.
Zhou Yang lunged forward with his fists, and An An responded with practiced skill. Although he was not as tall or as big as Zhou Yang, An An was very at ease, relying on his strength and agility.
The two children fighting were quickly stopped by a passing waiter.
The people dining here were all wealthy and influential, and no one dared to take responsibility if anything happened to the children.
An An, mindful of Ruan Ruan's presence, didn't fight back, merely evading Zhou Yang. When someone pulled Zhou Yang away, he slowly straightened his clothes.
Zhou Yang, still furious, tried to attack An An again. The waiter couldn't hold him back and had to tightly restrain him.
The waiter accompanying Zhou Yang out to play immediately went to notify Zhou Qin.
Zhou Qin, smelling of alcohol, swayed her hips and walked unsteadily, cursing as she approached.
Boss Yang followed behind her, his eyes fixed on her waist, his hands encircling her and rubbing up and down.
Shen Yuanshu followed leisurely behind, keeping a distance, purely to get some fresh air.
"I bought you what you wanted, why are you making such a fuss?" Zhou Qin snatched Zhou Yang from the waiter's grasp and yelled at him with an unpleasant expression.
Zhou Yang shrank his neck, but when his eyes fell on An An and Ruan Ruan nearby, his competitive spirit flared. He refused to lose face and instantly straightened his neck, "I'm not making a fuss! They don't want to play with me!"
"You dare talk back?" Zhou Qin slapped Zhou Yang on the backside, "I'm looking after you now, don't forget! You dare talk back to me, be careful I don't throw you out to the dogs tomorrow!"
"It's not my fault, you go find them!" Zhou Yang, without his father's backing, was anxious. "I'm not talking back, it's just that they don't want to play with me."
"Alright, they're just kids, it's normal," Boss Yang patted Zhou Qin's chest to calm her down, acting as a peacemaker. "Just apologize to your mother."
Zhou Yang looked at where Boss Yang's hand was placed and felt disgusted, "Who are you! None of your business!"
As soon as he said that, Boss Yang looked as if he had swallowed a fly.
Seeing Boss Yang's displeasure, Zhou Qin began to panic. This was a great help to the company!
She raised her hand and slapped Zhou Yang heavily across the face.
Ruan Ruan, startled by the loud slap, leaned closer to An An.
"So fierce!" she mumbled softly.
Zhou Yang was stunned by the slap and stood there, unsure of what expression to wear. Tears streamed down his face in large drops.
Watching Zhou Yang cry blankly, Zhou Qin felt a sense of satisfaction.
Previously, when Zhou Deren was at home, he doted on Zhou Yang excessively. If Zhou Yang said anything bad about her, Zhou Deren would punish her.
Now, Zhou Deren was gone, she had gained power, and she had Shen Yuanshu's support.
She no longer had to take Zhou Yang seriously.
After hitting Zhou Yang, she also noticed An An standing by the side, Huo Rou's son.
Heh.
She didn't say much more, and pulling Zhou Yang, she walked back.
Ever since Huo Rou appeared, her life had become like this, promiscuous.
Let's see what happens to her and her son! According to Shen Yuanshu's plan, Qin Ningyi would be in trouble herself!
The Zhou family's company could be ruined. As long as they could be sent to hell, any price was acceptable.
Boss Yang followed closely behind Zhou Qin, heading back to the private room.
As they left, with no one blocking the way, Shen Yuanshu naturally saw An An and Ruan Ruan.
"What family's child are you?" Shen Yuanshu wore only a simple mask that day, with a pair of narrow eyes exposed. He approached An An, squatted down, and smiled, appearing very cheerful and kind.
Facing a stranger, An An was wary. He held Ruan Ruan's hand, but with an innocent expression, tilted his head and looked at him.
Mom said that when you don't understand the situation, pretend to be foolish and stay alert! kanδん
Seeing such a pure and cute expression on a face that closely resembled Qin Ningyi, Shen Yuanshu couldn't help but laugh.
"Where are your parents? Did they not come to support you when you were bullied?"
"Mom and Dad are waiting for us." You can never tell strangers you're alone.
An An casually pointed in the direction of the exit. "We need to go."
"I think you need to get an explanation," Shen Yuanshu mused. "If you don't fight back when you're hit, you'll be hit again next time. Little friend, I know the parents of that boy just now, I can have them come and apologize to you."
"No, thank you, Uncle." An An's alarm bells were ringing. Was he trying to trick them into going with him?
"He didn't hit us." He tried his best to appear innocent. The commotion was over, and the waiter was busy with his own tasks now that adults had arrived.
The restroom was secluded. He and Ruan Ruan were just children, isolated and helpless, unable to confront him directly.
An An mentally reviewed what he had heard Huo Rou say before, combined with cases from books and television.
Although the uncle hadn't shown any hostility or threatened them, he just felt that this uncle was not quite right.
Shen Yuanshu carefully examined An An's expression. He couldn't detect any signs of lying or deception. The child looked innocent and anxious, just as he had said about someone waiting for him at the entrance. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
"But I feel uneasy about it," Shen Yuanshu tested. "Uncle will go with you to apologize to your parents. After all, they are my friends. I'm very sorry they hit you."
He spoke sincerely, and for children, such an equal conversation was extremely rare.
He believed that if he said this, any ordinary child would confide in him.
Unfortunately, he encountered An An, who was somewhat unusual.
"Uncle, you're so kind!" An An praised immediately. "I also did something wrong."
He picked up the Ultraman from the ground, reattached the separated palm, and obediently handed it to Shen Yuanshu.
"Let's give this Ultraman back to Zhou Yang for us. If he minds, I'll have Mom and Dad take me to buy him a new one."
An An's words both followed Shen Yuanshu's lead and did not entirely deviate from the expected course.
