Ji Yuanyuan did not expect Li Xu to believe her immediately, so she obediently closed her eyes.
The next day was Monday. When the three children woke up in the morning, there was food in the pot on the dining table.
Zhang Kun had prepared it in advance. The room was not cold, and the food was still hot in the pot.
Therefore, when the children got up, the food was not cold.
It was dumplings and millet congee. The three of them finished their meal and went to school.
At the school gate, they bumped into Hu Chunli and Yang Jingyi.
Seeing Ji Yuanyuan and the others, Hu Chunli heaved a sigh of relief. She quickly carried Yang Jingyi off the bicycle. âGo quickly. Mommy should go back.â
Yang Jingyi waved at Hu Chunli and then ran to Ji Yuanyuan cheerfully.
The two of them held hands and entered the school.
Yang Jingyi was very serious in class now. She sat up straight when the bell rang.
Just as Yang Jingyi was serious in class, the teacher-in-charge suddenly opened the classroom door. The English Teacher who was on the podium was stunned for a moment and then stood aside.
Yang Junying followed behind the teacher-in-charge.
Yang Junying looked exhausted. After looking around the classroom, he fixed his gaze on Yang Jingyi. âJingyi, come with me for a moment.â
When Yang Jingyi heard this, she subconsciously shrank back.
Seeing that Yang Jingyi did not move, the class teacher also took the initiative to speak. âJingyi, come out for a moment. Your father is looking for you for something!â
Yang Jingyi stood up hesitantly. She looked at Ji Yuanyuan with some fear and asked in a low voice, âCan you accompany me?â
Ji Yuanyuan sensed Yang Jingyiâs nervousness and fear and stood up as well. âTeacher, can I go with Yang Jingyi?â
The form teacher nodded. âCome out first. Donât disturb the other students in class!â
The two of them walked out of the classroom hand in hand. The homeroom teacher nodded at the English Teacher.
After they left the classroom, the English Teacher continued to lecture.
Outside the classroom, Yang Junying rubbed his forehead and reached out to grab Yang Jingyi, wanting to leave.
Yang Jingyi was so scared that she quickly grabbed Ji Yuanyuanâs hand. Her voice was filled with tears as she asked, âWhat do you want to do?â
The class teacher also quickly came over to stop her. âJingyiâs father, you should at least explain to Jingyi clearly and not scare the child. I understand that youâre anxious, but you canât just leave with the child!â
She grabbed Yang Jingyiâs arms, squatted down, and said gently, âJingyi, your grandmother is in the hospital now. You and Father should go and see Grandma one last time, okay?â
One last time?
Ji Yuanyuan was a little surprised. What happened to that old woman? Why was it one last time?
âTeacher, should we ask Jingyiâs mother about this?â Ji Yuanyuan reminded her.
After all, Hu Chunli and Yang Junying had already divorced, and Yang Jingyiâs custody would undoubtedly go to Hu Chunli.
If Yang Junying wanted to take Yang Jingyi away from school, he would have to ask Hu Chunli for her opinion.
Yang Junying was a little anxious. The hospital said that his Mother couldnât wait much longer.
He just wanted his Mother to have a grandchild by her side before she left so she wouldnât be lonely.
He wished he could take Yang Jingyi away right now. When he heard Ji Yuanyuanâs words, he glared at her fiercely. âYou little girl, why are you everywhere?â
Ji Yuanyuan pretended to cower a little and hid behind the Teacher. She called out weakly, âTeacherâ¦â
The homeroom teacher was initially a little sympathetic to Yang Junying. His parents were about to leave, and she felt terrible about it.
But even if she felt bad, she could not treat a child like that!
She protected Ji Yuanyuan behind her, holding onto Yang Jingyi with her other hand. âJingyiâs father, please control your emotions. Donât scare the child! Moreover, I know about your familyâs situation. You Should inform Jingyiâs Mother if you want to take her away. Otherwise, if something happens, our school will be unable to take responsibility.â
Yang Junying panicked when he heard that. âHu Chunli is Yang Jingyiâs Mother, and Iâm also Yang Jingyiâs father! Isnât it only right and proper for me to take my child away? Moreover, what could happen? Could I harm her?â
Ji Yuanyuan saw that Yang Junying was being unreasonable, so she quietly pinched Yang Jingyi.
When Yang Jingyi received the signal, she suddenly burst into tears. âTeacher, Iâm scared!â
She cried and threw herself into the Teacherâs arms. Ji Yuanyuan also cried with her. The two childrenâs crying made the homeroom teacherâs head hurt.
âLetâs go, letâs go. Letâs go to the office with Teacher. Stop crying, stop crying!â The teacher glared at Yang Junying.
This person was really too much. Now, he had scared the children into tears.
She held one in each hand, half-dragging, and half-hugging. She managed to get the two children into the office with great difficulty.
Yang Junying had no choice but to follow them.
The teacher comforted the two children in the office while looking through the parentsâ address book.
âJingyi, is your Mother at home? Can she receive a call from Teacher?â Soon, the teacher found Yang Jingyiâs home number and asked.
Yang Jingyi shook her head. âMy Mother is not at home right now. She wonât be able to receive a call.â
Hearing this, Yang Junying quickly explained, âTeacher, you donât have to worry about this. Iâll bring Jingyi to find her Mother first.â
The Teacher was in a difficult position.
âTeacher, call my Mother and ask her to find Auntie Hu. My Mother knows where Auntie Hu is.â
Hearing this, the Teacherâs eyes lit up.
This was also a solution! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âCome, student Ji Yuanyuan, tell the teacher your motherâs phone number!â
Ji Yuanyuan naturally remembered her familyâs phone number.
After making the call, the Teacher explained the matter clearly with a few words.
Li Xu agreed readily. She hung up the phone, closed the shop door, and went to Hu Chunliâs side.
When Hu Chunli heard that Yang Junying was at school and was planning to take Yang Jingyi away, she panicked.
Seeing this, Li Xu decided not to rush back.
She decided to follow him. She was afraid that Hu Chunli would be at a disadvantage in front of Yang Junying.
When the two of them went over, Ji Yuanyuan and Yang Jingyi had already calmed down. They sat on the table obediently and shared candies.
Yang Junying, on the other hand, could not sit still.
His Mother was still waiting at the hospital. She could leave at any moment.
As soon as Li Xu and Hu Chunli arrived at the office, Yang Junying heaved a sigh of relief. âCan we go now? Letâs go. Jingyi, quickly follow me to the hospital!â
Hearing that, Hu Chunli stepped forward and blocked in front of Yang Jingyi. âJingyi canât go with you!â
Yang Junying looked at Hu Chunli in disbelief. He suppressed the anger in his heart. He tried his best to speak as calmly as possible. âDid she not explain clearly to you? The current situation is that our Mother is lying in the hospital and could leave at any moment. As her granddaughter, Jingyi should be there to guard her! What do you mean? My Mother is gone, so she has to wear mourning clothes too.. My Mother only has one granddaughter!â
