The school bell rang just as Qiu Tong arrived at the kindergarten.
Ye Luan immediately saw Qiu Tong, who was standing at the door. She walked over with steady steps, feeling a little out of place with the mischievous and lively children around her.
The three children also saw Qiu Tong at the door. They were just about to go over when they saw Ye Luan and stopped in their tracks.
“Auntie Qiu.” Ye Luan nodded at Qiu Tong and followed her towards the three children.
“Qiu Xingyuan, I’m going to prepare a feast tonight. Can you bring your younger siblings home for dinner?”
Qiu Tong squatted in front of Qiu Xingyuan with a smile.
Qiu Xingqiao and Qiu Xingyu turned to look at their eldest brother, waiting for his answer.
They knew about Qiu Tong defending Qiu Xingyuan in the office today, so their resentment towards her was not as great as before.
Qiu Xingyuan’s cold gaze swept across Ye Luan and Qiu Tong. He did not answer Qiu Tong’s question. Instead, he pulled his younger siblings and circled around the two of them in an irritated manner.
“Qiu Xingyu, the meatballs at the hotel last night. You seemed to enjoy them. Do you want to eat them again tonight?”
Qiu Xingyuan glanced at Qiu Tong before speaking to his sister.
Qiu Xingyu instantly understood what her brother meant. Although she was a little hesitant, she still clapped her hands in feigned joy.
“Sure, sure. That meatball is so delicious. I want to eat sweet and sour beef too.”
Qiu Xingqiao also chimed in.
“I heard that our hotel had to pay a large sum of money to hire this chef. The food he makes is definitely much better than a certain someone.”
“We can eat different dishes every day and try all the dishes on the menu.”
Qiu Tong understood the meaning behind their words. After exchanging glances with Ye Luan, she raised her voice and said.
“Ye Luan, I saw a very good house this afternoon. I’ve already made a down payment and can move in anytime.”
“We can move in tonight. And I’ve prepared a feast to celebrate. There’s a movie theater in the basement and the two of us can watch movies and snack tonight.”
“What movie do you like? We’ll watch it.”
Ye Luan played along with Qiu Tong. “I want to eat popcorn and iced watermelon. It would be even better if there’s cake.”
The three children stopped in their tracks when they heard their conversation.
This woman actually bought a new house?
They looked at each other and saw the emotions in each other’s eyes.
They could not let Ye Luan take advantage of the new house!
Qiu Tong bought that house. If Ye Luan could stay there, they could as well.
The three children quietly changed their direction.
Qiu Tong saw that although their faces looked grim, they still obediently followed behind her and Ye Luan. She couldn’t help but chuckle on the inside.
Even though this method was a little cliche, it was useful.
Before long, the four children stood in front of the two-story villa and looked at the building in front of them in shock. They could not believe that this was their future home.
“This house is very spacious. Each of you can choose your own room and have your own space.”
“I’ll leave the choice to you.”
Qiu Tong clapped her hands and looked at the surprised children. She felt that her money spent had been worth it.
“I want to stay in this room.”
It was rare for Ye Luan to take the initiative and choose the room first.
How could Qiu Xingqiao let Ye Luan beat him to it? He purposely said, “I want this one too. I like the blue wallpaper inside.”
Ye Luan generously gave it to him. “Alright, then you can stay in this room. I think the one next to this room is not bad either.”
However, Qiu Xingqiao insisted on going against him and provoked, “I also think this one is not bad! I want this one then!”
“You can choose first. I’ll choose after you’re done.”
Ye Luan understood his intentions and gave a discreet smile. He put on a magnanimous face and looked at Qiu Tong obediently.
Qiu Tong patted his head gently and smiled brightly. “Ye Luan, you’re so obedient. Whatever you want to eat tonight, Auntie Qiu will make it for you.”
Ye Luan nodded. “Auntie Qiu is so nice. I will definitely be obedient and not make you angry.”
“After all, you’ve worked hard to support me.”
Qiu Tong and Ye Luan performed in perfect harmony. The three children looked very conflicted at their blissful expressions.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhiling had just returned home. The more she thought about the earlier incident, the angrier she became. She found her younger brother Lu Sheng and planned with him to teach Qiu Tong a lesson.
When Lu Sheng heard that his sister had been bullied, his fiery temper was instantly ignited. He immediately brought a few hooligans along to find Qiu Tong.. The gang surrounded Qiu Tong and the children.
