The next morning.
Fang Miaomiao was woken up by the children's joyful commotion.
Last night, to prevent Chen Tianming and the others from going back on their word, she had insisted on seeing the supplies before returning to her room to rest.
"You're awake?"
Turning her head, Fang Miaomiao saw Wen Yan'an sitting on a small stool, holding a comic book.
"Why aren't you playing in the yard with the other children?"
"I was waiting for you to get up," Wen Yan'an replied 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 greeted her made her shiver, and her sleepiness completely vanished.
There was a faint, pleasant fragrance in the air.
"Miaomiao, you're awake." Cui Mantong, who was sorting supplies under the eaves, saw Fang Miaomiao in a short-sleeved shirt and said with concern, "Hurry back and put on a jacket. The temperature dropped after the rain yesterday."
"Alright."
Fang Miaomiao went back to her room and put on a long-sleeved shirt, and also dressed Wen Yan'an in one.
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, glancing subtly at Fang Miaomiao, who was directing Wen Yan'an in various tasks. She then continued with a smile, "As soon as I finished, I rushed back."
"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 only arrived today and doesn't know the next mission yet. Can you tell me, little friend Yuanyuan?"
"Of course! Next, we're going to survive in the wilderness. At first, Uncle Tianming didn't give us any tools, but then Aunt Miaomiao was so smart that Uncle Tianming gave us lots and lots of supplies."
"Is, is that so?" A flicker of complex emotion quickly crossed Fang Yan Huan's eyes. She had to admit, she was finding it harder and harder to understand Fang Miaomiao.
Yesterday afternoon, her mother had called her, vaguely asking if she was free and if she could come home.
Upon returning home, she saw her mother sitting on the living room sofa, and opposite her was a young man with a smile.
The young man was quite handsome and gave off the impression of a successful person, but wasn't she already with Wen Wenlan? Why was her mother calling a stranger home for no reason? And she even called her back from work. This made her suspect her mother's intentions.
Unexpectedly, when her mother saw her, her eyes lit up. She immediately pulled her from the doorway into the living room, chattering non-stop, which annoyed her.
Just as she was about to interrupt her mother, the man spoke first and produced a contract, specifically a property purchase contract.
Later, she learned that the man was Xin Xuan, the secretary to the chairman of Wen Group. His purpose in visiting their home was to have her return her apartment.
The purchase contract clearly stated that ownership of the apartment could only belong to Fang Miaomiao, and neither Fang Miaomiao herself nor anyone else could lay claim to that apartment.
As soon as Fang Yan Huan finished speaking, she could clearly feel the servants around them looking at her differently. 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 didn't pay attention to what Yuanyuan was saying. Sorry."
"It's okay."
After speaking, Wu Yueyuan trotted off to find Fang Miaomiao.
"Aunt Miaomiao, you were so amazing yesterday! Can you tell me why Uncle Tianming listens to you so obediently?"
Fang Miaomiao: "..."
It's really not necessary. She and Fang Yan Huan are the same age. Just because she has a stepson, does her status have to 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, why are these children so persistent?
Fang Miaomiao had no choice but to say, "Hit the snake where it hurts, understand?"
Wu Yueyuan shook her head, looking confused.
Fang Miaomiao: "..."
To be honest, she didn't understand either, and she didn't know how to explain it. But facing those innocent, eager-to-learn eyes, Fang Miaomiao found herself unable to say anything.
Frustrated and powerless.
So, she very decisively handed this task to Wen Yan'an.
"Go find An'an. An'an can explain it. Besides, when I explain sometimes, you children won't understand."
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 can't explain it herself, so she pushed the responsibility to Wen Yan'an and Wu Yueyuan. Don't ask, if you ask, it's because you're still young and don't understand.]
[I have to say, the person above is right. Seeing her guilty look, not daring to meet Yuanyuan's eyes, I knew she was going to make excuses, but I didn't expect her to come up with such a strange excuse, hahaha. I'm wondering if my mom always says I'm young and don't understand 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 causing trouble for no reason. Doesn't that mean she's guilty but afraid to say it directly?]
[Doesn't anyone feel that Fang Yan Huan's eyes are a bit off? I just glanced at them, and they feel a bit strange.]
[If you want to praise Fang Miaomiao, then praise Fang Miaomiao. Don't drag our little fairy Yan Huan. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite.]
[Exactly. Don't think that just because you have some administrator, you blind people can just talk nonsense. You can bully others, but don't bully our Yan Huan.]
"Are you all ready? We should be departing."
"Oh, why is Director Tianming putting on a grumpy face today? Is he unhappy because he didn't sleep well last night?" Cui Mantong said with a smile.
"Mantong, you can't say that. Director Tianming is clearly working hard to ensure we have a good life on the island," Zhou Jiaxin also said with a smile.
"Director Tianming is simply a great philanthropist, a good person," Fang Miaomiao chimed in appropriately. "Come, children, thank Director Tianming and the staff for their hard work in preparing 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 with an exasperated roll of his eyes, then waved his hand and said, "Go, go, go, hurry up and leave."
He was afraid that if he stayed with these people any longer, he would have a heart attack.
