Chapter 10
At this time, the kindergarten teacher came over to them. Fang Yansha immediately pulled her close to her and said, “Miss Wang, my brother has invested millions of dollars in this kindergarten because he wanted you to run a good school, but you can’t just let any uneducated children study here. Can you bear the consequences if the heir of our Fang family gets hurt?”
Miss Wang glanced at Yan Yan, covered her mouth, and whispered in Fang Yansha’s ear. Fang Yansha’s eyes widened for a moment, then she squinted. Her expression was constantly changing.
She bent over and said to Fang Zikai, “Kai Kai, don’t play with him anymore. No matter how rich he is, he will still become a criminal in the future because he has no mother to educate him.” She wanted to say something more, but Miss Wang winked at her. Some people around were also pointing at her and whispering among themselves. Although she was so unwilling to shut up, she had no other choice but to swallow her anger and leave. But before she left with Fang Zikai, she glared at Su Ruowan.
Yan Yan stuck out his tongue at Fang Yansha and made a face. He then turned to Su Ruowan and smiled. “Beautiful sister, I’ve just been transferred here from another school today. That Fatty Fang is only a week earlier than me. He’s so fat, but he wants Jiu Jiu to be his girlfriend. I think he’s a toad who wants to eat swan meat, right?”
Su Ruowan smiled at him but thinking of what Fang Yansha said just now about his mother, she asked, “Yan Yan, why doesn’t your mother pick you up?”
The innocent and cheerful smile disappeared from the little boy’s face. He put the small bag on his back and said in an indifferent voice, “My mother is dead.”
Dead? Looking at him, Su Ruowan couldn’t help feeling sorry. He was so young, but there was already a mature and indifferent expression on his face that should not belong to a child.
Yan Yan immediately smiled again, “Lao Zhou comes to pick me up every day. I’ll wait a little longer.”
She nodded and said, “Jiu Jiu, say goodbye to Yan Yan. We’re going home now.”
“Bye, Yan Yan!” Jiu Jiu said softly.
When Su Ruowan and Jiu Jiu left, Yan Yan stood alone at the school gate.
While on the bus, Su Ruowan still thought of Fang Yansha. She didn’t expect Fang Yansha to have such a young nephew in her fifties.
“Mommy, our teacher said that the summer vacation is coming.” Jiu Jiu’s sweet voice brought Su Ruowan back to her senses.
How time flew! When July came, the two children would be a year older.
“Mommy…” Jiu Jiu continued cheerfully, “Our teacher also said that there will be a parent-child sports competition.”
She raised her pink fingers to count. “First, we need to wear parent-child outfits. Second, the champion can get many awards. Third… Oh, I forgot…” She blinked her clear and big black eyes a few times and blushed.
Su Ruowan stroked her soft hair and said, “It’s okay. Just ask your teacher tomorrow what’s the third one.”
“Okay.” She nodded and buried her head into her mother’s arms.
Su Ruowan felt guilty in her heart. Based on their encounter today, she could tell that Fang Yansha still had a deep prejudice against her. It seemed that she could no longer bother Helian Chen this time.
The next day, Su Ruowan went to the modeling agency early in the morning.
She told the receptionist at the front desk that she wanted to see Miss Gao. It didn’t take long before she heard the sound of approaching high heels on the floor. When she looked up, she saw a tall and beautiful woman walking towards her gracefully.
“Are you Su Ruowan?” She recognized the woman’s familiar voice, so she nodded.
Gao Xiaoxiao reached out her hand and shook hands with Su Ruowan enthusiastically. “You’re finally here. My mission is accomplished. Come, I’ll introduce you to the others.”
Gao Xiaoxiao took her to the training room where a dozen young models were training.
Gao Xiaoxiao arranged the training for Su Ruowan. Miss Ye, the trainer, cast a meaningful glance at her.
Su Ruowan joined the training at once. Gao Xiaoxiao watched for a while and left.
“Mr. Wang, Su Ruowan has just started her training. Don’t worry. I didn’t mention Dacheng Company to her. Thank you, Mr. Wang. This is what I should do… Bye, Mr. Wang.” She then hung up and walked to her desk.
For Gao Xiaoxiao, although Su Ruowan was good-looking, she didn’t meet the requirements of a model at all. Her height was only 1.65 meters, and she dressed so ordinarily.
However, she was just an employee. Her boss didn’t tell her why they had to hire Su Ruowan as one of their models, and she didn’t ask either. This was something she learned from her years of work.
After walking on the stage in 9-inch high heels for several hours, Su Ruowan could only sigh when she took off her shoes and saw her red and swollen heels.
Finally, the training came to an end. But she had to bear her sore body because she still needed to pick up Jiu Jiu from kindergarten.
Jiu Jiu, who had been waiting at the school gate for a long time, tilted her head and asked curiously, “Mommy, are you tired today?”
Su Ruowan reached out and held her hand. “I never feel tired when I think of you.”
Jiu Jiu giggled.
Su Ruowan waited for a while, hoping to see Yan Yan. But it seemed that the little boy was not in the kindergarten anymore. Maybe… He must have been taken home long ago. She felt a little depressed at the thought of it.
In the supermarket.
Holding a woman and a child’s T-shirts in her hands, Su Ruowan was about to go to the counter to pay. Jiu Jiu frowned and asked, “Mommy, aren’t you going to buy one for Daddy Helian?”
She stopped and looked at Jiu Jiu’s innocent questioning eyes. She had no choice but to turn around and take a man’s T-shirt.
Jiu Jiu trusted and liked Helian Chen so much. But she didn’t know if she should be happy or sad about it. After all, Helian Chen’s existence had somewhat made up for the loss of father’s love for Jiu Jiu. Now, Jiu Jiu no longer asked questions about her father.
She knew that she must have scared Jiu Jiu in G City last year.
It was New Year’s Eve, the best time for family reunions. At the dinner table, her mother suddenly mentioned Ye Weiting. He was the son of the Ye family who lived next door. He was a top student like her and was admitted to G University with her.
In their sophomore year, she dropped out of school. And when she came back a year later, she already had a daughter without a father. Ye Weiting got the highest scholarship in the whole school and found himself a girlfriend who was the daughter of the head of a financial group in G City.
Her mother sighed and said that if only she was with him back then.
She couldn’t help refuting. Her mother got so anxious that she threw the chopsticks on the table and blurted out, “It’s better than being deceived by a man before finishing college!”
Jiu Jiu cried in fright. So she packed their luggage and took a bus back to D City that night.
Since it was New Year’s Eve, there were only a few passengers on the bus. Holding Jiu Jiu in her arms, she sat in the last row and wept silently. Jiu Jiu kept wiping her tears, but her small hands were not enough to wipe them all away.
