Sitting on a stone bench outside Zhengsheng Apartments, Shen Ning had her head down, tears rolling down her cheeks like fallen pearls.

Noticing her pale complexion, Aunt Dong, who had been looking after Shen Ning for years, expressed her concern. “Miss, why do you look so pale? Is something troubling you? You can always share it with me, even if I can’t solve it, I can lend a listening ear,” she offered kindly.

Shen Ning, her eyes vacant and distant, took a moment before responding. “Aunt Dong, it looks like we might have to move away soon,” she admitted with a heavy heart.

Aunt Dong, her voice full of warmth, suggested, “Well, this place isn’t all that great anyway. We could go back to the White Villa.”

Shen Ning shook her head. “No, we can’t move there,” she said with a hint of fear in her voice.

“That place belongs to Shen Mei and her daughter. Going there would be like walking into a trap,” Shen Ning explained, her eyes welling up with tears.

Understanding her concerns, Aunt Dong reassured her, “Alright, then we’ll find another place. I’ll be right there with you, no matter where we go.”

Shen Ning, touched by her support, embraced Aunt Dong tightly, her tears staining Aunt Dong’s shoulder.

The next day arrived, and Shen Ning was finally able to send Coco and Xiaoxiao to kindergarten. She cherished the wonderful moments spent with her children!

If they were to move soon, these two kids might have to temporarily miss school.

“Mommy, did you sleep well last night?” Coco, looking at his mom’s pale face with concern, asked on the school bus.

Shen Ning smiled and reassured him, “I did, sweetheart. Mommy had a good night’s sleep.”

Last night, she had been plagued by nightmares, all featuring the moment when Shen Mei pushed her into the sea. In her dream, she cried so much that she even woke up Aunt Dong.

It was only in the latter part of the night that Aunt Dong held her, comforting her until she fell asleep again.

In the morning, she woke up feeling groggy.

“Mommy, you don’t have to work too hard. Don’t worry, we’ll make money and support the family when we grow up,” Xiaoxiao said, looking at her mom’s face, her eyes turning red.

Her mommy looked so pitiful!

Xiaoxiao could feel the heavy burden weighing on her mom’s heart, making it hard to breathe. She was really worried.

“Thank you, Xiaoxiao.” Shen Ning hugged Xiaoxiao tightly, cradling her in her arms.

As she held the little bundle of joy, her heart warmed. She vowed to ensure her children lived happily and never let Li Zhenting take Coco away from her.

In the kindergarten,

“Big brother, Mommy has always worried that Daddy might take you away and that you’d be mistreated by that ugly witch. That’s why she’s been so down,” Coco shared his thoughts with Xiaoxiao, sitting on their desks.

Xiaoxiao felt her heart ache as she listened. “Don’t worry, even if Daddy tries to take me away, I won’t go with him. That meanie bullies Mommy. I’ll stand up to him.”

Her little fists clenched in anger.

“Yeah,” Xiaoxiao nodded firmly.

“Xiaoxiao, Mommy must be suffering at Li’s Manor. We can’t let this go on. Today, I’m going to investigate what’s happening at Li’s Manor,” Coco declared.

“Okay, I want to go too,” Xiaoxiao immediately agreed.

“Right, let’s talk to Ding Ding later and come up with a plan. Remember, Grandma said you could visit Li’s Manor often last time. You can go openly, and I’ll sneak in,” Coco had his plan ready.

“Okay.”

Xiaoxiao looked up to her big brother in admiration, he always knew what to do!

The next day,

Li’s Manor was decked out with decorations, buzzing with excitement.

It was Shen Mei’s 24th birthday party..
