Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 358 Kindergarten Incident

When Qin Shengsheng woke up early in the morning, she checked her phone again. The screen was still showing the message she had sent to Teacher Tianwang last night, with no new updates.

Since the day before the college entrance exam, after Mr. Tianwang helped her review her last set of wrong answers, he completely cut off contact with her, as if he had completed his mission.

Without receiving a reply from the teacher, Qin Shengsheng felt completely uncertain and even her steps downstairs for breakfast were listless.

But as soon as she reached the restaurant entrance, her weariness was instantly dispelled by her anger.

"Why is she here?"

Qin Shengsheng's gaze was fixed on Bai Xiaoyu and Xiao Qinfang's child at the dining table.

Bai Xiaoyu put down her milk glass, a perfectly gentle smile on her face.

“Sheng Sheng, I’m here to take Xiao Xi to school. She hasn’t been to kindergarten for a week, and I’m worried that if this continues, she’ll develop a dislike for school, so I came to check on her and drop her off.”

“We have a driver, we don’t need you to fawn over us.” Qin Shengsheng walked a few steps to the dining table, her back teeth clenched tightly.

She had never seen such a shameless woman in all her life!

What annoyed her even more was that Qin Shi, sitting opposite her, was still slowly and methodically slicing fried eggs, as if everything in front of her had nothing to do with him.

How could he be so calm?

Qin Shengsheng couldn't help but recall the past. Just a few months after her brother and sister-in-law divorced, Bai Xiaoyu came to her door with her newborn child.

Qin Shi not only didn't stop them, but also let the mother and son move into the villa, and even named the child Qin Fang, recognizing him as a member of the Qin family.

At that moment, Qin Shengsheng grew angrier and angrier, and couldn't help but say to Qin Shi, "Brother, are you just going to stand by and watch her barge into the house and bring a stranger's child home? Have you forgotten..."

Qin Shi then put down his knife and fork, looked up at her, and said in a flat tone, "Sheng Sheng, I've said it many times, and I know you have a problem with Xiao Yu."

But I lost some of my memory after the helicopter crash; I really can't remember the details of some things from the past.

He paused, looked up at Qin Shengsheng, and softened his tone.

"But it's not easy for Xiaoyu to raise Qin Fang."

"Not easy? Who's having an easy time? My sister-in-law is the one who's having the hardest time!" Qin Shengsheng raised her voice. "Is her 'good intention' just to stay in the Qin family under the guise of taking care of Xiaoxi?"

Qin Shi abruptly put down his knife and fork. After the divorce, almost no one in the family mentioned Yan Lan.

Just as the siblings finished arguing, a soft sound came from the side.

Qin Xi stood there, rubbing her sleepy eyes, her little face full of confusion: "Auntie..."

Qin Shengsheng's anger subsided considerably in an instant, and she quickly walked over and picked up little Qin Xi.

Polishing: The Standoff at the Breakfast Table

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Bai Xiaoyu quickly stepped forward, half-squatting in front of Qin Xi, and deliberately softened her tone: "Xiao Xi, there are many fun games in kindergarten, and children can draw together. How about Auntie takes you and Qin Fang to kindergarten today?"

When Qin Xi saw her, she shrank into Qin Shengsheng's arms, her little face full of resistance, her voice childish yet exceptionally firm: "I don't want to go! And I don't want to go with him!"

She will never forget that on her first day at kindergarten, someone said she didn't have a mother, and the other children surrounded her and shouted, "Wild child without a mother."

She told the teacher what she said, but the teacher didn't believe her.

But the children weren't bad people; he had promised Grandpa Liu he wouldn't prick them with needles, so he could only endure it silently by himself.

Those words stuck in her heart like thorns, and now, seeing Bai Xiaoyu and Qin Fang, the grievances in her heart welled up again.

Qin Shi's face instantly darkened, his brows furrowed, and his tone was stern and left no room for argument: "Xiao Xi, stop fooling around! You have to go to kindergarten, how can you not go just because you don't like it?"

"Why not?"

Qin Shengsheng immediately took a step back, holding Qin Xi, and looked up to meet Qin Shi's gaze. Her voice was full of urgency and indignation, "Brother, you clearly promised me before that as long as I found a teacher who could properly teach Xiaoxi, she could study at home and wouldn't have to go to preschool! Xiaoxi lost her mother when she was little, and you didn't even ask her what she liked or disliked!"

Qin Shi looked at Qin Shengsheng, his tone softening, "Have you found the Heavenly King?"

Qin Shengsheng remained silent.

"Sheng Sheng, stop daydreaming. There's no way you can contact him." Qin Shi paused, lowered his voice, and said with a hint of complexity that was hard to detect. "Back then, I used a lot of connections and resources to find Teacher Tianwang, but he just vanished into thin air. I couldn't find a trace of him at all."

Qin Shengsheng wanted to argue, but Qin Shi interrupted her with his resolute words: "I'll put this down—unless Teacher Tianwang personally replies and clearly agrees to take Xiaoxi as a student, Xiaoxi must go to kindergarten starting tomorrow, there is no room for negotiation!"

Just as things were at a stalemate, Madam Qin walked over. Seeing the tense atmosphere before her and looking at Xiao Xi's tight little face, she immediately understood most of the situation.

Qin Shengsheng rushed to her mother as if grasping at a straw, her voice filled with grievance: "Mom, look at my brother! He insists on forcing Xiaoxi to go to kindergarten. He doesn't care how much Xiaoxi suffers there, and he doesn't keep his promise to me!"

Madam Qin put down the fruit plate, reached out and touched Xiao Xi's head, her eyes filled with heartache.

She was about to speak up for her granddaughter when Qin Shi interrupted her with a cold, hard voice: "Mom, I am Xiaoxi's father, and I should decide how to raise her."

One sentence shut Madam Qin up, forcing her to swallow the rest of her words.

Looking at her son's unyielding expression, and then at little Qin Xi, who was clutching Qin Shengsheng's clothes and looking timid, she could only sigh heavily and pat Qin Shengsheng's hand to signal her to stop arguing.

Qin Shengsheng knew her mother was helpless, and her heart ached with anxiety and sorrow. She knelt down and hugged Xiaoxi, patiently coaxing her softly, "Xiaoxi, be good, let's just go for one day, okay? Auntie has already talked to the teacher and will wait near the kindergarten the whole time, so no one will dare to bully you again. Once Teacher Tianwang replies, we won't have to go, okay?"

Xiao Xi blinked her wet eyes, glanced at her aunt's reddened eyes, then at Qin Shi, who had a serious expression, hesitated for a while, and then nodded softly, wrapping her little arms around Qin Shengsheng's neck.

Qin Shengsheng specially took Xiao Qinxi to class, and Bai Xiaoyu accompanied her, taking both children to the kindergarten gate together.

Qin Shengsheng waved to Xiao Qinxi, and then the little guy walked into the kindergarten with his head down.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaoyu couldn't help but sneer. She didn't believe that Qin Shengsheng could wait outside the kindergarten for the rest of her life!
