“Yeah, we were really worried.
Come on, tell Grandpa, is kindergarten fun?
Did anyone bully you?” As Old Master Situ sat on the sofa with Situ Xin, Old Master Loo leaned in close to Situ Xin and asked.
“Dad, you and Uncle Situ are enough.
This is the first time I’ve discovered you two like this.
Usually, you both are stone-faced.
And aren’t you exaggerating a bit?

The baby is just going to school, and it’s only been one day, yet you act as if she hasn’t been seen for months.
Ouch, Juan, why are you kicking me?” Loo Jianxin complained while watching his father and Old Master Situ fuss over the child, and before he could finish his sentence, his wife kicked him hard from the side.
When Loo Jianxin looked at her, Lu Juan glared back at him fiercely, fuming inside.
Didn’t he see that Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo were giving him rather unpleasant looks?
Loo Jianxin is blunt and doesn’t read the room, speaking his mind no matter what.
Of course, this is only in front of his family; in business dealings outside, he’s sly as a fox.
Otherwise, his business wouldn’t have grown so fast.
“Are you asking for a spanking, boy?
Fine, tomorrow morning, you’ll join us for a run around the field.” Over the years, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo used to take the youngsters in the family out for exercise in the mornings, and running around the field was their most common activity.
The next day, Situ Xin arrived at her kindergarten class punctually, accompanied by her brother Situ Jin, Xiao Muli, and Yu Qihao.
“Brother, Muli, Qi Hao, goodbye.” Situ Xin said adorably as she bade each of them goodbye.
“Alright, Xiao Xin, goodbye.
Remember to come to your brother if you need anything,” Situ Jin reminded before leaving, still worried.
“Okay, Baby remembers,” Situ Xin answered, taking her little backpack from Situ Jin and waving at them before heading inside the classroom.
Situ Jin and the other two only left reluctantly after seeing Situ Xin seated.
By the time Situ Xin arrived, the two kids next to her were already there.
They had been crying non-stop, sad that their parents had just dropped them off and left.
But upon seeing Situ Xin, they stopped crying immediately, which puzzled the teacher who was comforting them.
“Luo Yunyun, Chen Bo.
Good morning,” Situ Xin greeted cheerfully, looking at their tearful but brave little faces.
“You’re here, Situ Xin.
Such a good girl.
Quickly, sit down in your seat,” said the teacher, patting Situ Xin’s hair affectionately before going to comfort other kids.
Situ Xin looked around and saw that today’s situation in the class was much better.
There were still many tears, but at least the kids quieted down after some coaxing from the teacher.
The kids had learned from yesterday’s ordeal that no matter how much they cried, their parents and grandparents wouldn’t come to take them home, so they smartened up.
Plus, crying is exhausting, especially after a whole day—that’s really tough.
Situ Xin, in a particularly good mood, glanced at the two little friends beside her who were sneakily peeking at her.
Then she pulled out various small snacks from her backpack, which her uncle had brought especially for her the night before.
“Here you go.
Remember, don’t cry.
If you cry again, I’ll have to hit someone,” she said, watching Luo Yunyun trying hard to hold back tears and Chen Bo timidly nodding.
Looking at their expressions, Situ Xin found it amusing, thinking about how fun these kids from other families could be.
But soon, Situ Xin didn’t have time to pay attention to them anymore because the eavesdropping device she had planted in her mother Loo Yaxin’s workplace started picking up the lively buzz of people beginning their workday.
Situ Xin had already put in her earphones, which connected to the eavesdropping devices, and kept the remote control in her pocket.
As soon as she heard voices from the other side, she started switching between the devices to test their sound quality.
Suddenly, she heard a sarcastic voice through her earpiece.
“Hey, Director Loo, is that a new outfit you’re wearing?
It looks like it’s from ‘Xin,’ the latest collection, isn’t it?
That must’ve cost a pretty penny.”
“It is ‘Xin.’ Whenever I’m free, I like browsing there; their clothes are beautiful.
But the price…
one outfit is almost as much as my monthly salary,” a woman said with a sigh.
“Director Loo, that’s not cheap either; you really splurge, don’t you?” Situ Xin could tell from her tone that she didn’t have any malice; it was just a pure exclamation.
“Hehe, Lu Na, that’s where you’re wrong.
Director Loo wouldn’t hesitate over such a small amount of money.
Every piece of her clothing is from the brand ‘Xin.’ Director Loo is different from us; her husband is a major-general.
A mere outfit from ‘Xin’ is nothing to her,” someone chimed in.
Situ Xin, listening from her eavesdropper, frowned with a changing expression, scaring the two who were watching her, Luo Yunyun and Chen Bo.
Seeing Situ Xin’s expression, they decided they definitely didn’t want to mess with Situ Xin in the future—they had to stay away from her.
“Cai Meijuan, what kind of talk is that?
My buying ‘Xin’ clothes has nothing to do with my husband,” even the usually amiable Loo Yaxin showed signs of anger now.
“It has nothing to do with your husband?
Then tell me, with your current salary, how can you afford clothes from ‘Xin’?” Cai Meijuan, still biting at Loo Yaxin, didn’t let go.
Plus, Situ Xin could hear other whispers close by through the eavesdropper.
“Yes, I can’t afford ‘Xin’ clothes on my salary,” Loo Yaxin admitted, and immediately Cai Meijuan said in a triumphant tone, “See, you’ve admitted it.”
“I haven’t admitted that me affording ‘Xin’ clothes has anything to do with my husband.
It’s because ‘Xin’ Clothing Company is owned by my sister-in-law.
And these clothes I’m wearing are gifts from her, not purchases I’ve made.
So, Cai Meijuan, I don’t know why you’re always targeting me, but please make sure you have the facts straight before you slander me, or I won’t hesitate to settle this legally.”
