"You're back?"
Fang Miaomiao raised an eyebrow. "Wen Zhiyan, let me ask you something."
Wen Zhiyan nodded.
"Are you afraid of dogs?"
Wen Zhiyan looked at Fang Miaomiao helplessly. "Miaomiao, some things are better left unsaid once understood."
"We're a couple, aren't we."
Wen Zhiyan: "..."
What she said made perfect sense.
"I was bitten by a dog when I was a child, it left a shadow," Wen Zhiyan explained lightly.
"Then why?"
"An'an rarely shows enthusiasm for anything. I didn't want to disappoint him."
"True love."
"An'an is my responsibility."
"Cool."
Wen Zhiyan was torn between laughter and tears. "Are you complimenting me?"
"Of course. You're the man I picked, a good man."
Wen Zhiyan quickly changed the subject. "When you came up, I asked the person in charge of this neighborhood. Your house is indeed occupied. After Xin Xuanlai got the property deed back, he forgot to change the locks, so Fang Yanhuan took advantage of it."
"Fei Qingqing has moved in these past few days."
"Fei Qingqing, is this because of what happened with Fu Lin?"
Wen Zhiyan remembered Fang Miaomiao knew some things about this world. "Is it related to Fang Yanhuan?"
"Mm."
Fang Miaomiao briefly explained the incident with Fu Lin.
Wen Zhiyan scoffed. "She's been in the entertainment industry for so long, yet she's still this foolish. I don't know what's going on in her head."
Fang Miaomiao shook her head. "She probably knows the answer but doesn't want to believe it."
Originally, the original host, to protect Fei Qingqing's pride, had the hospital billing staff tell Fei Qingqing that a kind stranger, feeling they had earned a bit too much money, had randomly selected a patient and paid all her medical bills.
And now, Fang Yanhuan had taken advantage of it again.
"Miaomiao, don't bother saving such fools."
"I wasn't planning to save her."
The fact that she hadn't stepped on her was already a sign of her own kindness, let alone helping her.
Thinking of this, Fang Miaomiao sighed.
Wen Zhiyan stood up and took Fang Miaomiao's hand. "Why are you sighing? Shall we go watch a play or pick up An'an?"
"That works too. An'an changed schools, and I haven't visited his new school yet."
"Let's go. Stop by building 26 on your way back."
Fang Miaomiao understood. "Wen Zhiyan, how are you so amazing?"
"I think so too."
...
"Mom, you're here to pick me up." Wen Yan'an's eyes lit up when he saw Fang Miaomiao, and he ran towards her.
"Yes, An'an, are you happy to see me?"
Wen Yan'an nodded emphatically. "Happy."
"Wen Yan'an, so this is your mother."
Fang Miaomiao looked up slightly and saw a little girl not far away, who looked like a porcelain doll, with pigtails and a puffy skirt.
"Hello Auntie, I'm Wen Yan'an's classmate. My name is Xixi."
"Hello little Xixi," Fang Miaomiao glanced at Wen Yan'an, who stood quietly beside her without a word, and had a guess. "Little Xixi, haven't your family members come to pick you up yet?"
Xixi shook her head. "My nanny hasn't arrived yet. I have to wait for her."
Fang Miaomiao wanted to take Wen Yan'an and leave, but a sudden unease filled her.
She glanced at Xixi.
Xixi revealed a few white teeth. "Auntie, is there anything else?"
Fang Miaomiao thought for a moment. "Little Xixi, we can't wait outside. There are a lot of people on this road. What if you encounter a bad person? You're so pretty, what if someone bad finds you."
Xixi pondered for a while, then flashed a brilliant smile. "Auntie is right. I'll go back to school to wait then."
"Go ahead."
After Xixi went back into the school, the feeling of unease finally disappeared.
Fang Miaomiao took Wen Yan'an into the car.
"Mom, do you like Xixi?"
"Why do you ask, An'an?"
Wen Yan'an voiced his thoughts. "You told Xixi to go back to school."
"First, Xixi is An'an's classmate. As An'an's parent, we should also show politeness. Second, she's a child. It's dangerous for a child to leave school alone. As adults, when we see something like this, we can politely offer a suggestion."
Wen Yan'an buried his head in Fang Miaomiao's arms, feeling a little wronged. "But, I don't like Xixi."
"Why?"
Wen Yan'an hesitated for a moment before saying, "They say Xixi is the prettiest child in class. I know, but Xixi is too clingy. Some people in class don't like me."
Fang Miaomiao was dumbfounded. Good heavens, there were already cliques in kindergarten?
"An'an, do you think this is Xixi's fault?"
Wen Yan'an shook his head. "I know it's not Xixi's fault."
He didn't need friends. It was just that Xixi talked too much, babbling non-stop all day, making him feel like he was hallucinating.
Fang Miaomiao rubbed her nose. "Then there's nothing we can do. An'an is almost a big boy now. You have to solve this yourself. If you really can't solve it, then ask for help, okay?"
Wen Yan'an nodded.
"Come on, Mom will take you to see a play."
"What play?" Wen Yan'an asked obediently. "Is it a play from television?"
"This is much more interesting than a play on television."
Wen Yan'an obediently followed Fang Miaomiao and sat down in a park.
"Mom, isn't that your house? Why are there so many people standing at the entrance?"
"You know that's my house?"
Wen Yan'an nodded. "I heard someone mention it before."
Grandma used to nag him, thinking they shouldn't have given Mom such a nice house.
"My house is occupied by someone else. Do you think Mom should get it back?"
"Yes," Wen Yan'an nodded heavily.
"So, Mom is teaching you a lesson today. What belongs to you, unless you don't want it anymore, no one can take it away, understand?"
"Okay, An'an remembers."
"Madam, here's the synchronized camera feed." Da Chen walked over and handed his phone to Fang Miaomiao. "Master Wen said it's a bit chaotic up there, and it's not safe for you and the young master to go up."
"He thinks of everything. Thank you, Da Chen."
On the video feed.
Xin Xuanlai knocked on the door.
"Who are you?" Fei Qingqing asked, startled, as she opened the door to see a group of people with cameras, and instinctively tried to close it.
Xin Xuanlai stepped forward and blocked her.
"What do you want? Believe it or not, I'll sue you for trespassing." Fei Qingqing asked warily.
"Trespassing? What a coincidence," Xin Xuanlai smiled. "I wanted to accuse you of trespassing too. We were just away for a while, how did this house become yours? Are you kidding me?"
"This house isn't mine. I'm staying at a friend's house."
