After Xu Xiu finished cleaning the apartment, he collapsed on the sofa due to exhaustion.

Although she couldn't live here for too long, it was so filthy here that she couldn't stand it for a moment.

It was almost noon, and she was considering whether to take the little kid out for something to eat when there was a knock on the door.

The visitors were the apartment manager and several neighbors, and they all looked very excited.

From everyone's varying accounts, Xu Xiu figured out what had happened.

It turned out that after the Jones couple were taken away yesterday, the police found out more things.

The couple had long ago targeted foreigners who had just arrived and did not speak the language, and used various means of coercion and inducement to extort money from them.

There are many foreigners like the original owner who think they can get relief money by giving false testimony to them.

But in fact, they already met the application requirements. It was just that the couple took advantage of the language barrier and lack of understanding of the policy and deliberately misled everyone.

Now, in order to avoid imprisonment, the Jones couple expressed their willingness to compensate everyone and seek forgiveness.

The other people who were blackmailed in the apartment then found Xu Xiu and prepared to go together.

Xu Xiu was delighted when she found out the truth, as she was worrying about how to earn more money to improve her life.

So he left Xu Zhirang at home and went to the police station with everyone to sign and receive compensation from the Joneses.

In the police station, the Jones couple cried loudly and looked very guilty and regretful.

A black-haired girl was squatting next to them, wiping her tears and whispering comfort words.

Probably her adopted daughter, who is also said to be Chinese.

Xu Xiu glanced at it indifferently and lowered his head to sign.

It is impossible for this couple to truly repent, but no matter what they think in their hearts, the compensation money should not be reduced by a single cent.

After receiving the money, she went straight to the supermarket to buy things.

When Xu Xiu came out carrying large and small bags of things, he brushed past a group of people.

She just glanced at him casually with the corner of her eye and quickly looked away.

These people are all dressed in suits and look very elite.

The leading man had handsome and cold features, and his unattainable indifference made people dare not look directly at him.

An overwhelming aura hits you in the face.

He was dressed in black, and his tall figure was wrapped in a high-end suit, which made his temperament even more cold.

He walked forward with big strides without looking around, but when he passed Xu Xiu, he subconsciously looked over there.

There was a sudden pause in his footsteps.

A white man who was following him bowed slightly and said hurriedly:

"Boss Shen, is there any problem here?"

The man called Mr. Shen pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and glanced at the fleeting figure.

The lenses blocked his beautiful almond-shaped eyes, so naturally no one noticed the hint of doubt that flashed across his eyes.

It seems like I've seen this person somewhere.

But he quickly retracted his gaze and started walking again:

"fine."

The white man then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Mr. Shen is here to inspect the investment project. He is the person who can directly decide whether their shopping mall can be revived, so he must not be neglected in the slightest.

The man who looked like an assistant and was standing on the other side of Mr. Shen also glanced at the figure who had left with a strange look.

Was Mr. Shen looking at that woman just now?

As Shen Xingyi's assistant, Zhang Zhou has never seen him stare at a woman absentmindedly in all these years.

However, although Zhang Zhou only saw the side profile, he had to admit that the woman did have a good appearance.

Her hair was casually tied up, and she was wearing a cheap shirt and jeans. Even such a lazy outfit could not hide her beauty.

Zhang Zhou withdrew his gaze and gossiped quietly in his heart.

Mr. Shen has been a clean man for many years, and it turns out that he likes this kind of thing.

When Xu Xiu returned to the apartment, Xu Zhirang had already woken up from his nap.

He sat obediently on the sofa, flipping through a tattered picture book.

Xu Xiu felt very distressed by her well-behaved and sensible appearance.

When she left, she deliberately turned on the TV to the children's channel because she was afraid that he would be bored when he woke up.

It turned out that he didn't watch cartoons, but read books.

There are actually children who don’t like watching cartoons!

He is indeed a genius and adorable baby, the son of a domineering boss, and is different from ordinary children.

After Xu Xiu expressed his feelings, he went to the kitchen.

Xu Zhirang closed the picture book and moved his small stool to follow.

Xu Xiu has to cook again, and he wants to be a good little supervisor.

Xu Xiu glanced at him with amusement.

The little kid placed his two little hands on his legs obediently, with his back straight.

He seemed to have noticed Xu Xiu's doubts and took the initiative to explain:

"Brother Nora said that all the good kids in kindergarten should sit like this, and the kids who sit well will get little red flower stickers."

Nora is his next-door neighbor, one year older than him and already in kindergarten.

Although he can't go to kindergarten, he wants to be a good boy even at home.

The little boy's serious expression made Xu Xiu stunned for a moment.

The child is still young and cannot disguise himself. Although he did not say it out loud, the desire in his eyes was revealed.

Xu Xiu glanced at the red-fleshed dragon fruit beside him, and with an idea in mind, he went to the living room and started rummaging through the drawers.

Soon, she returned to Xu Zhirang with a brush.

She squatted down and dipped the brush into the crushed dragon juice:

"We will be able to return home soon, and then you can go to kindergarten," she looked up at Xu Zhirang with a smile, "Now, let mom reward you with a little red flower."

Xu Zhirang looked a little nervous, his hands clenched unconsciously, but his head remained motionless, allowing Xu Xiu to paint on his forehead.

After a while, Xu Xiu finished his work and placed the mirror in front of Xu Zhirang:

"How is it? Mom's technique is pretty good, right?"

As a makeup master in her original world, she is not only proficient in various makeup techniques, but also good at painting.

A mere little red flower is no problem.

Xu Zhirang moved closer to the mirror and observed carefully.

In the mirror, he had a bright flower painted on the center of his eyebrows, which was more beautiful than Nora's brother's little red flower.

He couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, and after taking a quick look at Xu Xiu, he looked back at the mirror.

After unable to help but admire it for a few more seconds, he suddenly remembered what Xu Xiu had just said.

Mother?

He suddenly looked at Xu Xiu and said cautiously:

"Can I call you mom now?"

After Xu Xiu was stunned for a moment, he suddenly recalled some things in his mind.

That was half a year ago. The original owner was very upset because Xu Zhirang had frequent fevers and illnesses.

The sick Xu Xiu finally didn't care about pretending to be a little adult anymore and just wanted to cry and find his mother.

The original owner was so angry that she told him not to call her mother anymore.

From then on, Xu Zhirang changed his way of addressing her and only called her by her name.

Looking at his expectant yet somewhat fearful eyes, Xu Xiu's heart felt as if it was being tightly grasped and it ached terribly.

She held him in her arms, rubbed his head with her cheek, and said softly:

"Of course, you are my baby, of course you can call me mom."

After thinking for a while, she said again:

"Mom was wrong last time. Can I apologize to you? Can you forgive me?"

Although she didn't say those words, they were too serious for such a young child.

Xu Xiu apologized because he was afraid that it would leave a shadow in his heart.

Xu Zhirang was stunned for a moment when he was suddenly hugged in her arms. After hearing her words, he couldn't help but purse his lips and almost cried.

Mom finally stopped being mad at him.

His little hand tentatively circled Xu Xiu's neck, rubbed it in her arms, and whispered:

"Mom, I forgive you."

There was both anxiety and happiness in the childish voice.
