The next morning.
Fang Miaomiao was woken up by the children's laughter.
Last night, to prevent Chen Tianming and the others from going back on their word, she had stayed in the room to rest only after seeing the supplies.
"You're awake?"
Fang Miaomiao turned her head and saw Wen Yan'an sitting on a small stool, reading a comic book.
"Why aren't you playing in the yard with the other children?"
"I was waiting for you to wake up," Wen Yan'an said obediently. "It rained last night, so it's a bit cold outside today. Do you want to wear a jacket?"
"It rained?"
Fang Miaomiao got up and went outside to feel the temperature.
The cold wind that hit her face made her shiver, and her sleepiness completely vanished.
There was a faint, pleasant aroma in the air.
"Miaomiao, you're awake." Cui Mantong was packing supplies under the eaves. Seeing Fang Miaomiao in a short-sleeved shirt, she said with concern, "Go back quickly and put on a jacket. The temperature dropped after just one night of rain."
"Alright."
Fang Miaomiao went back into the room and put on a long-sleeved shirt, and also put one on Wen Yan'an.
Half an hour later.
"Has everyone finished packing?" Fang Yan Huan said with a smile, "Children, long time no see."
"Sister Yan Huan, why didn't we see you last night?"
"Sister Yan Huan had something very important to do last night, so she took leave," Fang Yan Huan said cryptically, glancing at Fang Miaomiao, who was directing Wen Yan'an in various tasks. She then smiled and continued, "See, I rushed back as soon as I finished."
"Then, Sister Yan Huan, do you know what we're going to do for the remaining 3 days?"
Fang Yan Huan's eyes darted around. "What to do? Sister Yan Huan just arrived today and doesn't know the upcoming tasks yet. Can you tell me, little friend Yuanyuan?"
"Of course! Next, we're going to go on a wilderness survival adventure. At the beginning, Uncle Tianming wouldn't give us any tools, but in the end, Aunt Miaomiao was so smart that she made Uncle Tianming give us lots and lots of supplies."
"Is, is that so?" A complex emotion flashed in Fang Yan Huan's eyes. She had to admit that she was starting to see less and less of Fang Miaomiao.
Yesterday afternoon, her mother had called her, subtly asking if she had time and if she could come home.
When she got home, she saw her mother sitting on the sofa in the living room, and opposite her was a young man with a smile on his lips.
The young man was quite handsome and gave off the impression of a successful person, but wasn't she already with Wen Wenlan? Why would her mother call a stranger home? And she had even called her back from work, which made her unable to help but suspect what her mother was up to.
To her surprise, when her mother saw her, her eyes lit up. She immediately pulled her from the doorway into the living room, chattering incessantly, which annoyed her somewhat.
Just as she was about to interrupt her mother, the man spoke first and produced a contract, a real estate purchase contract at that.
Later, she learned that the man's name was Xin Xuan, the secretary to the chairman of the Wen Group. He was there to ask her to return her apartment.
The purchase contract clearly stated that the ownership of the apartment could only belong to Fang Miaomiao, and neither Fang Miaomiao herself nor anyone else could lay claim to it.
As she spoke, Fang Yan Huan could clearly feel the gazes of the surrounding servants change. At that moment, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
"Sister Yan Huan, what are you thinking about?"
Fang Yan Huan suddenly came back to her senses and saw a small face looking at her with a puzzled expression. She forced a smile. "Sister Yan Huan was just thinking about something, so I wasn't paying attention to what Yuanyuan was saying. I'm sorry."
"It's okay."
After speaking, Wu Yueyuan skipped off to find Fang Miaomiao.
"Aunt Miaomiao, you were so amazing yesterday! Can you tell me why Uncle Tianming listened to you so well?"
Fang Miaomiao: "..."
It was completely unnecessary. She and Fang Yan Huan were the same age. Just because she had a stepson, her status shouldn't change from "sister" to "aunt."
However, Wu Yueyuan didn't know what Fang Miaomiao was thinking. She looked at Fang Miaomiao expectantly, stubbornly wanting an answer.
Tsk, these children, why are they so persistent?
Fang Miaomiao had no choice but to say, "Hit the snake at its seven-inch point, understand?"
Wu Yueyuan shook her head blankly.
Fang Miaomiao: "..."
To be honest, she didn't understand either, and she didn't know how to explain. It was just that facing those innocent, eager eyes, Fang Miaomiao found herself unable to speak.
Defeated and powerless.
So, she very decisively passed this question of a task to Wen Yan'an.
"Go ask An An, An An can explain it. It's better this way; you children wouldn't understand my explanations sometimes."
Wu Yueyuan looked at her for a long time before nodding thoughtfully, "Okay, Aunt Miaomiao, I'm going to find An An."
Fang Miaomiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
[I feel like Fang Miaomiao just couldn't explain it herself and pushed the responsibility to Wen Yan'an and Wu Yueyuan. Don't ask, it's because you're too young, you don't understand.]
[I have to say, you upstairs are spot on. Seeing her guilty look, not daring to meet Yuanyuan's eyes, I knew she was going to make an excuse, but I never expected her to come up with such a bizarre reason, hahaha. I'm even wondering if my mom saying I'm too young and don't understand is also because she herself doesn't know.]
[Stop guessing. I've confirmed it. I showed this video to my mom, and she beat me up, saying I was looking for trouble. Doesn't that mean she's guilty but doesn't dare to say it directly?]
[Does anyone else feel like Fang Yan Huan's expression is a bit off? I glanced just now, and it felt strange.]
[If you want to praise Fang Miaomiao, then praise Fang Miaomiao. Don't drag our Fairy Yan Huan into it, or don't blame us for being rude.]
[Exactly. Don't think that just because you have some administrator, you blind idiots can talk nonsense. You can bully others, but don't bully our Yan Huan.]
"Are you all ready? We need to depart."
"Oh, why is Director Tianming's face so stern today? Did he not sleep well last night and is unhappy?" Cui Mantong said with a smile.
"Mantong, you can't say that. Director Tianming is clearly working hard for us to have a good life on the island," Zhou Jiaxin also said with a smile.
"Director Tianming is a great benefactor, a good person in ten lifetimes," Fang Miaomiao added with appropriate flattery. "Come, children, thank Director Tianming and the staff for their hard work in preparing the supplies for us."
The four children stood in a line and bowed in the direction of Chen Tianming: "Thank you, Uncle Tianming, thank you, all the staff uncles."
"Alright, you guys," Chen Tianming said, rolling his eyes impatiently. Then he waved his hand and said, "Go, go, go, you guys hurry up and leave."
He was afraid that if he stayed with these guys any longer, he would get a heart attack from anger.
