Xu Fengmingâs father was a man in his early thirties, and he was obviously a successful man. The suit he was wearing was obviously very expensive.
After seeing Xu Fengming sitting there and eating ice cream, he went straight to Song Qianming and thanked him, âThank you for today. If it wasnât for you, I donât know what would have happened.â
Before Song Qianming could say anything, the nanny that they had hired quickly explained, âWeâre in this amusement park. How can we really get lost?â
Xu Fengmingâs fatherâs eyes turned sharp. âSister Liu, I paid you to take care of my child. I didnât pay you to come and quibble after my child went missing.â
âI was just going to the toilet. I already told him to wait. Who knew that your child would be so playful and insist on running away?â she continued to complain unhappily.
âDad, sheâs lying.â Xu Fengming exposed her lie expressionlessly. âShe wanted to see the flower parade, but there were too many people there and she couldnât take care of me, so we got separated.â
Sister Liuâs face turned even paler, and she cried, âBrother Xu, please forgive me just this once. Iâve never seen it before, so I was a little curious. You know what my familyâs situation is like. Theyâre still waiting for me to bring the money back. I promise you that Iâll do my best in the future.â
Xu Yuanshan did not have the patience to listen to her cry. âThereâs no need. Iâm not a charity ambassador. We were lucky that there was no accident today. If anything happened, can you bear the responsibility?â
âBut isnât that a false alarm? Nothing really happened.â She was still mumbling.
âSo, I can only fire you after my child has an accident? â Xu Yuanshan suppressed his anger and said, âSister Liu, I didnât want you to take care of Fengming at first. After all, you didnât take the professional examination and didnât have the relevant knowledge. But because you are a distant cousin of Fengmingâs mother and you said that your family is in a difficult situation, I made an exception and let you stay. Have you forgotten how you promised me?â
Sister Liu was on the verge of tears. âI didnât forget. I was just too curious today. I promise I wonât do it again. Fengming, can you help Auntie beg your father? Did auntie not treat you well these few days? Auntie has a son a little older than you at home, and heâs still waiting for auntie to bring the money back for treatment. You canât bear to see that brother get sick and have no money for treatment, right?â
âThatâs enough.â Xu Yuanshan pulled her away and said, âDonât try to use this to blackmail my son. We didnât cause your familyâs misfortune. Iâve already given you a chance. Iâll pay you thirty thousand Yuan when we go back. You can find another job.â
âBrother Xu, you canât be so heartless. Xiao Wan wonât agree to this.â Seeing that her tearful begging didnât work, auntie Liu went on to mention other things.
âIf Xiao Wan knew that you took care of her child like this, she wouldnât be nice to you either. If you continue to make a fuss, I wonât even give you the last thirty thousand Yuan,â Xu Yuanshan said with a cold face.
With that, the woman didnât dare to say anything else and looked at the two of them with hatred.
Song Qianming was shocked to see this. Indeed, you shouldnât help someone so much that they take it for granted. This woman almost lost her employersâ child. Isnât thirty thousand Yuan enough to compensate her for her work for a few days? She actually still had the face to resent them?
âIâm sorry, Iâve made a fool of myself. Thank you so much for today,â Xu Yuanshan said to Song Qianming apologetically.
âYouâre welcome. We didnât do much.â
âAs long as itâs related to our child, itâs a big deal.â
âThatâs true.â Song Qianming nodded in agreement.
Xu Yuanshan looked at his watch and said apologetically, âI was going to treat you and your daughter to a meal, but Iâm really busy right now. I have something urgent to attend to. Do you want to leave me your contact information?â
âItâs just a small matter, no need to be so polite.â
âUncle Song, Iâve already made a promise with Huanhuan. Please exchange contact information with my father.â Xu Fengming was afraid that Song Qianming would just leave like that, so he quickly spoke up.
It was the first time that Xu Yuanshan had seen his son take the initiative. He was a little surprised, but he understood when he saw that the girl opposite him was really cute.
His son had been complaining that he and his wife were too busy and wanted his wife to give birth to a younger sister to play with him. He had lost hope of having a younger sister at home, so he had set his sights on someone elseâs daughter.
After the two families exchanged contact information, Xu Fengming left with his father, feeling at ease.
âYou like her a lot?â In the car, Xu Yuanshan was dealing with the companyâs affairs while asking his son.
âYes, her smile feels especially blissful.â Xu Fengming said in an envious tone, âShe probably has her daddy to play with her!â
Xu Yuanshan glanced at him and laughed. âYouâre so thoughtful at such a young age. You were waiting to say this?â
Xu Fengming stopped talking. Xu Yuanshan continued, âDaddy needs to work. Only by handling the companyâs matters can you have a better life, understand?â
âBut I hope that you and mom can watch me grow up.â
Xu Yuanshan said to him in a serious tone, âFengming, you canât be so selfish. Mommy and I both have our own lives. Your mommy has to fulfill her dreams, and I have to manage the company left behind by your grandpa. We canât give up everything just to spend time with a child, understand? Youâll know the importance of money when you grow up.â
Xu Fengming was only a child and did not understand the big picture. He did not understand why his father called him disobedient just because he wanted his parents to accompany him for a little longer. However, he could not find any more reasons to refute it.
On the other hand, Song Qianming saw that Xu Yuanshan had a luxury car and a driver. He was even more determined to make his daughter live the same life as Xu Yuanshan. He could not let his daughter be inferior to Xu Yuanshan just because of her family background when she became friends with him in the future.
âDonât worry, Youhuan. Daddy will get those for us very soon.â
Youhuan blinked. She didnât quite understand why her daddy would suddenly say this, but her daddy was always right. She just had to listen.
âThis one wonât do, and this one wonât either.â Song Qianming looked through the information on all the private kindergartens in Sea City. After contemplating for a long time, he finally chose two.
He was still unsure, so he went to ask Youhuan, âWhich one would you like to go to?â
Youhuan looked up at him and said, âDaddy, didnât the uncle who gave us the information say that we have to go through an interview if we want to get into these two kindergartens? Itâs not like I can choose whichever I want to go to.â
Song Qianming was confident. âWith both of our intelligence, do you think their test will be a problem for us?â
âBut that uncle said it would be very difficult.â
âIf daddy says thereâs no problem, then thereâs no problem.â He frowned after he said that. Why was this world so troublesome? Even if you had money, you couldnât get into a kindergarten?
âThis one then.â Youhuan randomly pointed at one, simply because the photos of this kindergarten looked better.
âAlright, Iâll go and contact them now.â Song Qianming was actually very nervous, but since he had already made a promise in front of his daughter, he had to fulfill it.
