“What did you say? Dad is going to marry that ugly witch, Shen Mei?” After dinner, Coco, Xiaoxiao, and Ding Ding finally connected through video. The three little heads gathered together, and Ding Ding sadly delivered this incredibly heavy news to them.
“It’s impossible!” Coco’s immediate reaction was disbelief. “Dad personally told me that he’s going to marry our mommy and have her move into Li Mansion to enjoy good food and clothes.”
“Alas, poor Coco, you’ve been fooled by the adults.” Ding Ding sighed, “Grandma even asked me for my opinion today.”
“All.” Coco was stunned, but after confirming the truth, his face turned red with anger, and he shouted, “Despicable dad, you even lied to kids! 1 won’t spare you.”
He was about to rush outside.
“Brother.” Xiaoxiao immediately grabbed him, pouted, and her eyes welled up with tears. “It’s very dangerous to go out so late. Besides, if Mommy finds out about this, she’ll be really angry.”
Coco was momentarily stunned, and he slumped back onto the bed.
“No, Ding Ding, tomorrow let’s switch identities. I’ll go settle the score with that despicable dad.” After a while, he sat up, turned his eyes to Ding Ding, and said.
“Okay.” Ding Ding readily agreed. He couldn’t wait to be back by Mommy’s side. Although he was a little reluctant to part with Grandma, he couldn’t bear to be separated from Mommy.
“Brother, I want to go with you this time.” After hanging up the phone, Xiaoxiao stood up, puffed out her chest, and demanded resolutely, “But you’re just a kid. You can’t fight that ugly witch on your own. Let me go. 1 can read minds and help you.”
Coco’s heart stirred, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded. “Alright, but not now. Once 1 figure things out, I’ll take you in. In any case, we mustn’t let that despicable dad marry the ugly witch.”
“Yes, brother and sister united, invincible in the world.” Xiaoxiao flashed a confident smile, reaching out her little hand towards him.
Coco extended his hand and they sealed their pledge with a handshake, full of confidence.
Early in the morning, Shen Ning personally escorted Coco and Xiaoxiao to Blue Sky Kindergarten. She watched their small figures enter the classroom before turning around reluctantly.
Just as she turned, she hurriedly ran to the bus stop.
She had to be at the office by 8:00 sharp.
However…
When she arrived at the bus stop, she just missed the bus.
With no other choice, she patiently waited for the next one.
But unfortunately, there were many buses today. It was a struggle to get on a bus, and halfway through the journey, a logistics truck crashed into a traffic barrier, causing a major traffic jam.
As a result…
When Shen Ning clocked in at the office, she was twenty minutes late.
She thought that as a shareholder and someone responsible for the company’s daily affairs, there shouldn’t be any major issues.
But she was wrong.
When she pushed open the office door, a face full of frost and a chilling aura appeared before her.
She shivered in fright, almost stumbling.
“Shen Ning, you’re actually late?” Li Zhenting stared at her expressionlessly. “As the head of the company, shouldn’t you set a good example? Your blatant lateness, is there anything left to say?”
Shen Ning opened her mouth, looking at the man before her who was exuding an overwhelming sense of superiority and righteousness, and for a moment, she was at a loss for words..
