"And why did your walking posture become so weird?"

Another person echoed in a low voice, his eyes full of confusion.

Amid these whispered discussions, the atmosphere seemed particularly depressing.

In such an environment, when little Sen Sen saw her mother, she was immediately overjoyed and couldn't wait to call out loudly: "Mom! Mom! I don't want Zhu Guoguo and Zhu Tangtang to come to see me, they are too annoying!"

The child's outspokenness seemed to suddenly disrupt the delicate balance of the scene.

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Lian's face turned pale and her steps paused. She was obviously touched by her son's words. She was about to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by a cold voice: "Auntie, where are you going? Don't you want to explain it to Mrs. Hu first?"

The word "Auntie" instantly drained the color from Zhu Lian's cheeks. She lowered her head and tightly closed her lips, which had almost lost their color from being bitten by her teeth.

Onlookers were confused by this sudden change.

Obviously, they have not yet fully understood the profound meaning behind this title.

Zhu Lian lowered her head and limped forward slowly, remaining silent the entire time. Zhu Feiwan stared at her with a sharp gaze, his tone revealing an indifference that was difficult to conceal: "Going out so early in the morning, where are your basic manners? Have you become mute, or do you even forget to say hello?"

"Yes, Miss Zhu."

Zhu Lian's ears turned red with embarrassment, and her whole body was shaking slightly with anger and nervousness.

"What's going on? Why is Sen Sen's mother so respectful to Guo Guo's mother?"

The whispers in the crowd became more intense.

"I really don't understand... Does Guoguo's mother have some powerful background?" someone made a guess.

"I heard that her three children were recommended by Mrs. Song herself, and that's why they were able to enter our school."

Another voice interrupted, and the information seemed to reveal a piece of the puzzle.

"Mrs. Song? Which Mrs. Song?" Questions came one after another, and the seeds of curiosity quickly took root in people's hearts.

"Who else could it be, Mrs. Song? She's the wife of the famous mayor of our North City."

The answer from the insider instantly shocked the whole audience.

"Is it true? I heard she's a single mother?"

Doubts and amazement were intertwined, and there was a lot of discussion.

Zhu Feiwan did not hide this, turned around and revealed the answer directly: "I forgot to introduce you all, this is my family's newly hired assistant. If you are busy with work and have no time to take care of the children in the future, you can ask her for help. Don't worry, I will pay for all the overtime expenses, so don't be polite to me."

There were sporadic "OK" responses mixed with some awkward laughter, but people's eyes were all cast on Lu Cunli who was smoking silently on the side, and they secretly wondered: Why didn't he stand up to protect his wife?

"Okay, talk to Mrs. Hu yourself."

Zhu Feiwan took a step back, obviously not having the patience to continue pestering.

Zhu Lian walked forward slowly, revealing Zhu Rou's expression for the first time. This sudden change made Mrs. Hu a little at a loss.

"Mrs. Hu, it was indeed Sen Sen's fault before. He always provoked those two children. From now on, I will educate Sen Sen strictly and let him learn to get along with other children in a friendly way."

Zhu Lian's sincerity made the atmosphere even more subtle.

"Oh, I see." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Mrs. Hu's face, and she forced a move of the corners of her mouth in response.

He originally wanted to use this opportunity to improve his relationship with the Lu family, but ended up making things worse and put himself in an awkward situation.

What is surprising is that in the face of all this, Mrs. Lu and Lu Cunli remained silent and did not say a word.

Didn’t Mrs. Lu always love this grandson the most?

Lu Cunli was unusually restrained today.

"Mommy! Mommy!" Little Lu Sen on the hospital bed started to make a fuss when he saw that Zhu Lian was late.

Seeing this, the teachers hurriedly suggested: "Shall we end today's visit here?"

"I agree. The kids need some rest. Let's just take our leave now."

The parents responded one after another, and for a moment, the crowd dispersed quickly like the tide, and everyone was in a hurry.

Mrs. Hu and her daughter were the only ones left in the ward.

"Mommy, shall we leave too?" Hu Yunxin looked up and asked her mother.

Mrs. Hu nodded slightly and was about to leave, but was unexpectedly stopped by Zhu Feiwan.

"Please apologize to my three children." Zhu Feiwan's tone left no room for doubt.

"What?" Mrs. Hu widened her eyes in astonishment.

"If you are unwilling to apologize in front of us, I don't mind calling those parents back to witness it."

Seeing this, the three little ones immediately followed their mother's lead: "Children have rights too. You wronged us, you should apologize!"

"That's right. As the person in charge of the school, if he behaves inappropriately, he will lose the support of the people sooner or later." Another child said seriously.

"It's so spicy!" Xiao Tuantuan imitated her brother's tone and added in a childish voice.

Chang Wenjuan, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up: "Zhu Yunran is right, Mrs. Hu, please apologize as soon as possible."

Mrs. Hu's eyes opened wide with an expression of disbelief.

She thought she was speaking for Chang Wenjuan's grandson, but why did this usual ally turn against her at this moment?

"Is it so hard to say the three words 'I'm sorry'? Can't you understand what people are saying?"

Just when Mrs. Hu was displeased and refused to apologize, a steady and powerful voice came from outside the door, interrupting the deadlock in the room.

A tall, imposing man walked into the room.

Mrs. Hu looked up suddenly when she heard the voice, with a flash of surprise in her eyes: "Master Lu."

"Daddy!"

A clear child's voice pierced the silence of the room, and Tuan Tuan's face was filled with surprise as he ran towards Lu Huaijin with cheerful steps.

Everyone present was stunned by the sudden appearance of the "bad dad", and their eyes were all focused on the interaction between the father and daughter. The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

Guoguo and Tangtang, the two little ones, looked at each other with their big watery eyes, as if they were communicating silently, and their little heads were filled with big doubts.

In the end, he just pursed his lips.

Mrs. Hu was so shocked that her eyes almost fell out, and her mouth with exquisite lipstick was slightly open and couldn't be closed.

She stared in a daze as Tuan Tuan flew into Lu Huaijin's arms.

Lu Huaijin bent down almost as a conditioned reflex and caught it steadily.

Zhu Feiwan's brows furrowed.

"Tuan Tuan... stop yelling!"

There was a hint of blame and helplessness in her voice.

She took light steps, intending to take her daughter back from Lu Huaijin's arms, but she unexpectedly hugged Lu Huaijin's neck tightly, with her little face pressed tightly against his shoulder, and refused to let go no matter how much she was persuaded.

She tilted her head and explained to Zhu Feiwan with an innocent look: "Mom, I didn't call him that. It was my brother who said he was a scumbag dad. His surname is Zha, his first name is Dad, and his nickname is Daddy..."
