Chapter 21: A New Kindergarten

Xu Fengming’s father was a man in his early thirties, and he was obviously a successful man. The suit he was wearing was obviously very expensive.

After seeing Xu Fengming sitting there and eating ice cream, he went straight to Song Qianming and thanked him, “Thank you for today. If it wasn’t for you, I don’t know what would have happened.”

Before Song Qianming could say anything, the nanny that they had hired quickly explained, “We’re in this amusement park. How can we really get lost?”

Xu Fengming’s father’s eyes turned sharp. “Sister Liu, I paid you to take care of my child. I didn’t pay you to come and quibble after my child went missing.”

“I was just going to the toilet. I already told him to wait. Who knew that your child would be so playful and insist on running away?” she continued to complain unhappily.

“Dad, she’s lying.” Xu Fengming exposed her lie expressionlessly. “She wanted to see the flower parade, but there were too many people there and she couldn’t take care of me, so we got separated.”

Sister Liu’s face turned even paler, and she cried, “Brother Xu, please forgive me just this once. I’ve never seen it before, so I was a little curious. You know what my family’s situation is like. They’re still waiting for me to bring the money back. I promise you that I’ll do my best in the future.”

Xu Yuanshan did not have the patience to listen to her cry. “There’s no need. I’m not a charity ambassador. We were lucky that there was no accident today. If anything happened, can you bear the responsibility?”

“But isn’t that a false alarm? Nothing really happened.” She was still mumbling.

“So, I can only fire you after my child has an accident? ” Xu Yuanshan suppressed his anger and said, “Sister Liu, I didn’t want you to take care of Fengming at first. After all, you didn’t take the professional examination and didn’t have the relevant knowledge. But because you are a distant cousin of Fengming’s mother and you said that your family is in a difficult situation, I made an exception and let you stay. Have you forgotten how you promised me?”

Sister Liu was on the verge of tears. “I didn’t forget. I was just too curious today. I promise I won’t do it again. Fengming, can you help Auntie beg your father? Did auntie not treat you well these few days? Auntie has a son a little older than you at home, and he’s still waiting for auntie to bring the money back for treatment. You can’t bear to see that brother get sick and have no money for treatment, right?”

“That’s enough.” Xu Yuanshan pulled her away and said, “Don’t try to use this to blackmail my son. We didn’t cause your family’s misfortune. I’ve already given you a chance. I’ll pay you thirty thousand Yuan when we go back. You can find another job.”

“Brother Xu, you can’t be so heartless. Xiao Wan won’t agree to this.” Seeing that her tearful begging didn’t work, auntie Liu went on to mention other things.

“If Xiao Wan knew that you took care of her child like this, she wouldn’t be nice to you either. If you continue to make a fuss, I won’t even give you the last thirty thousand Yuan,” Xu Yuanshan said with a cold face.

With that, the woman didn’t dare to say anything else and looked at the two of them with hatred.

Song Qianming was shocked to see this. Indeed, you shouldn’t help someone so much that they take it for granted. This woman almost lost her employers’ child. Isn’t thirty thousand Yuan enough to compensate her for her work for a few days? She actually still had the face to resent them?

“I’m sorry, I’ve made a fool of myself. Thank you so much for today,” Xu Yuanshan said to Song Qianming apologetically.

“You’re welcome. We didn’t do much.”

“As long as it’s related to our child, it’s a big deal.”

“That’s true.” Song Qianming nodded in agreement.

Xu Yuanshan looked at his watch and said apologetically, “I was going to treat you and your daughter to a meal, but I’m really busy right now. I have something urgent to attend to. Do you want to leave me your contact information?”

“It’s just a small matter, no need to be so polite.”

“Uncle Song, I’ve already made a promise with Huanhuan. Please exchange contact information with my father.” Xu Fengming was afraid that Song Qianming would just leave like that, so he quickly spoke up.

It was the first time that Xu Yuanshan had seen his son take the initiative. He was a little surprised, but he understood when he saw that the girl opposite him was really cute.

His son had been complaining that he and his wife were too busy and wanted his wife to give birth to a younger sister to play with him. He had lost hope of having a younger sister at home, so he had set his sights on someone else’s daughter.

After the two families exchanged contact information, Xu Fengming left with his father, feeling at ease.

“You like her a lot?” In the car, Xu Yuanshan was dealing with the company’s affairs while asking his son.

“Yes, her smile feels especially blissful.” Xu Fengming said in an envious tone, “She probably has her daddy to play with her!”

Xu Yuanshan glanced at him and laughed. “You’re so thoughtful at such a young age. You were waiting to say this?”

Xu Fengming stopped talking. Xu Yuanshan continued, “Daddy needs to work. Only by handling the company’s matters can you have a better life, understand?”

“But I hope that you and mom can watch me grow up.”

Xu Yuanshan said to him in a serious tone, “Fengming, you can’t be so selfish. Mommy and I both have our own lives. Your mommy has to fulfill her dreams, and I have to manage the company left behind by your grandpa. We can’t give up everything just to spend time with a child, understand? You’ll know the importance of money when you grow up.”

Xu Fengming was only a child and did not understand the big picture. He did not understand why his father called him disobedient just because he wanted his parents to accompany him for a little longer. However, he could not find any more reasons to refute it.

On the other hand, Song Qianming saw that Xu Yuanshan had a luxury car and a driver. He was even more determined to make his daughter live the same life as Xu Yuanshan. He could not let his daughter be inferior to Xu Yuanshan just because of her family background when she became friends with him in the future.

“Don’t worry, Youhuan. Daddy will get those for us very soon.”

Youhuan blinked. She didn’t quite understand why her daddy would suddenly say this, but her daddy was always right. She just had to listen.

“This one won’t do, and this one won’t either.” Song Qianming looked through the information on all the private kindergartens in Sea City. After contemplating for a long time, he finally chose two.

He was still unsure, so he went to ask Youhuan, “Which one would you like to go to?”

Youhuan looked up at him and said, “Daddy, didn’t the uncle who gave us the information say that we have to go through an interview if we want to get into these two kindergartens? It’s not like I can choose whichever I want to go to.”

Song Qianming was confident. “With both of our intelligence, do you think their test will be a problem for us?”

“But that uncle said it would be very difficult.”

“If daddy says there’s no problem, then there’s no problem.” He frowned after he said that. Why was this world so troublesome? Even if you had money, you couldn’t get into a kindergarten?

“This one then.” Youhuan randomly pointed at one, simply because the photos of this kindergarten looked better.

“Alright, I’ll go and contact them now.” Song Qianming was actually very nervous, but since he had already made a promise in front of his daughter, he had to fulfill it.
