Since his visit had already been discovered, Qin Xiao no longer hid it, but some things needed to be said in advance.

“Children, can I ask you a favor? Don’t tell anyone that you saw someone who looks like Juanjuan here, okay?”

Everyone in the circle knows that Qin Yiren’s son bears a striking resemblance to Qin Xiao. They were uncle and nephew so it was normal.

But due to this, as long as a child accidentally says something, adults with intention would soon know that Qin Xiao had come to see the Qian family, which would be very detrimental to the continuation of the matter.

Father Qian was also helpless about this.

Weren’t his son and his little friends in the room upstairs?

Why did they suddenly appear in the garden and just happen to run into a group of them who were planning to go to the private cabin on the other side of the garden to talk things over?

If there was at least a five-minute gap between their two groups, they wouldn’t have encountered each other.

This was so coincidental!

“Mmmhmm.” Xu Youyou was the first to nod. “Youyou understand! Every time Qianqian and the others talk about something, Ah Momo always comes to sabotage it. It’s so annoying! Youyou will definitely not do such a thing!”

The familiar Ah Momo made another appearance.

This cartoon was widely circulated among young children. The story centers around a team of people (animals) working hard to save the planet and defeat various bad guys.

And Ah Momo, the biggest bad guy, was unanimously hated by children because of his trademark child-eating catchphrase and his frequent disruption of the protagonists’ actions!

Now that Xu Youyou said this, the other children nodded almost immediately.

No one likes Ah Momo and no one wants Ah Momo to ruin Qianqian and the other’s plans. That would be too annoying.

“Me too, me too! Uncle Juanjuan, are you going to save Planet Duoduo?”

“Qianqian will definitely succeed this time!”

“Yes, yes, I won’t say a word about it!”

Although he had no idea who Ah Momo and Qianqian were, looking at the children’s expressions as if they were on some kind of mission and that they absolutely wouldn’t say anything because bad people were out to get them, he thought his goal had been achieved.

Qin Xiao smiled and rubbed Lu Chenjun’s curly hair. “Then let me thank everyone on behalf of Qianqian?”

Lu Chenjun: “……Move your hand!”

Just talk if he wants to talk. Why was he rubbing his head when he has curly hair of his own?!

In the end, the matter was still important, so Father Qian and Qin Xiao immediately walked in another direction, leaving Mother Qian to comfort the children first.

And she also learned from her son the reason why the children were there.

It was to see Qian Xin’s ‘secret base’.

They indeed need to pass through the garden to reach that secret base. No wonder the two sides stumbled upon each other.

After determining that it was a genuine accident, Mother Qian gave them a few reminders and then left, leaving Qian Xin to continue leading the team forward.

But without realizing it, the topic revolved around Lu Chenjun’s uncle.

He said they couldn’t tell others, but they all knew about it, so it doesn’t count as telling others. When they go outside, they definitely wouldn’t say a word.

Those were the clever thoughts of the children.

Liu Miaomiao asked, “Juanjuan, is curly hair natural in your family?”

The little girl was very excited because many princesses in cartoons have curly hair. Liu Miaomiao also wanted to have curly hair, but her mother disagreed, saying that she was still too young to get a perm.

It would be great if, like Juanjuan, she was naturally curly.

“En.” Lu Chenjun responded simply.

In fact, the Qin family had a belief that people with naturally curly hair would be better than ordinary people in all aspects, including Qin Xiao and Lu Chenjun.

Because Qin Xiao had never gotten married or been in a relationship, his maternal grandfather had always wanted to take Lu Chenjun to the Qin family to train him properly.

Lu Weizheng didn’t care. Would his son stop being his child if his surname wasn’t Lu? As long as Juanjuan was willing, he would agree.

It’s just that the Old Master of the Lu family was rigid and was adamant about not agreeing.

It’s not like his family’s second son had married into the Qin family, and they don’t covet the Qin family’s property either. How humiliating would it be to give their child another family’s surname?!

So now the two parties were still arguing and it was unknown when there would be a result.

Qin Yiren also moved to Jiang City to hide in peace.

“Juanjuan, will you grow as tall in the future?” Qian Xin was envious of Qin Xiao’s height.

His parents weren’t tall or anyone in their family for that matter. This makes Mother Qian a bit anxious, fearing that her son wouldn’t even reach the average height. It was unknown how much food she had to supplement for this.

As a result, Qian Xin began to think about height issues when he was only three years old.

Lu Chenjun: “……I don’t know.”

His mother, father, and uncle weren’t short, so he shouldn’t be short either unless there were special circumstances. However, Lu Chenjun didn’t want to explain so much, so he simply ended the topic with three words.

“Juanjuan, can I touch Uncle’s hair?”

Needless to say, that was Xu Youyou.

Sure enough, he guessed it right. Was touching his head not enough?!

This unfaithful little deer!

Lu Chenjun refused to answer that question.

Fortunately, after arriving at Qian Xin’s secret base, they were attracted by the various toys inside, and everyone gradually forgot about what happened just now, allowing Lu Chenjun to quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he didn’t know why his uncle suddenly came to the Qian family’s house and was being so secretive, Lu Chenjun knew that it must be something important, so he wouldn’t reveal it and hoped that the others wouldn’t do so as well.

The precocious Lu Chenjun’s line of sight met Liu Yanzhi’s, who had been relatively silent since the beginning.

Their eyes met and Liu Yanzhi was the one to look away first.

It was said that children from poor families mature fast, but in the final analysis, it was the environment that forced people to grow up.

Children from wealthy families might have more complex thoughts, and if one underestimates them, one would surely suffer a big loss.

Liu Yanzhi was not an idiot. Lu Chenjun hoped he wouldn’t do things that only idiots do.

He moved his eyes away and no longer paid attention to the others.

In the evening, Qian Xin’s birthday party was still very lively, with a super big cake that Xu Youyou had dreamed about, and the dishes made by Qian Xin’s mother whom he had praised countless times.

Really! Delicious!

Every child had an expression of enjoyment on their face.

They finally understood why Qian Xin wouldn’t stop talking about it. If their mother’s cooking was as delicious, they would also definitely let everyone know.

They envy Qian Xin so much. He could eat such delicious food every day.

Especially Liu Miaomiao, her mother’s cooking skills were at the opposite end of the spectrum from Mother Qian. Not to mention average, it’s just straight-up unpalatable.

Fortunately, the food at home was made by professional chefs most of the time and Mother Liu rarely cooks, otherwise, Liu Miaomiao would probably be even thinner.

Satisfied with their food, the little ones leaned back on their chair in a row, showing expressions that they didn’t want to go home so soon.

But they have to go to kindergarten again tomorrow. If they didn’t go home……

Wait! They seem to be in the same kindergarten!

Qian Xin also didn’t want to be separated from his friends so quickly.

Except for Gu Weiyi, everyone had already slept together before. On the first night after returning home from the training camp, Qian Xin was a little uncomfortable lying alone on the big, soft bed.

It’s a rare day and everyone was so happy.

Once everyone goes home, he’ll be alone again. His parents were always busy.

Qian Xin spoke tentatively, “That-, do you want to sleep over? We can go to kindergarten together tomorrow.”

“Yes!”

“Okay~”

The others instantly agreed, especially Gu Weiyi. This was his first time staying at a friend’s house and he was so excited that his face and ears turned red.

At first glance, it appeared a bit scary.

However, they already knew that this was a normal phenomenon for Gu Weiyi. He would be like this whenever he’s in a big mood, and it would have no impact on his health, so Gu Yi wasn’t alarmed.

Lu Chenjun didn’t mind staying the night either, since it wasn’t the first time they’d be sleeping together. At least this time there was no need to worry about Liu Miaomiao and Qian Xin’s sleeping habits.

It was unanimous!

Qian Xin was excited. “Mom!!!”

Upon learning the news, Qian Xin’s mother immediately agreed. Today was Qian Xin’s birthday. Not to mention that this was a modest request, she wouldn’t refuse even if it was more excessive.

Mother Qian cheerfully asked the household staff to prepare a change of clothes and items for washing and then called the parents of the children one by one. Everything was done quickly.

———pr

9:00 pm.

Finally tired of playing, the children put on identical pajamas and lay on the bed with the same posture while looking at each other.

They should go to sleep but they didn’t feel sleepy.

If they couldn’t sleep, what would they do?

“Hey!”

Liu Miaomiao made a sudden sneak attack and successfully hit Qian Xin’s face with her pillow. Then she stood on the bed with her arms akimbo and laughed. “Stupid, you got hit by me, didn’t you?”

As soon as she finished speaking, someone threw a pillow and knocked her down onto the bed, making a dull sound.

Great, now no one wanted to sleep anymore.

Even Lu Chenjun couldn’t bear it anymore after being hit three times in a row. He’s just bored, he’s not stupid!

If Qin Yiren saw this scene, she would probably shed tears of joy.

People were social animals, and while there were certainly people with strong minds who were fine being alone, Qin Yiren still hoped that her child would be able to come into contact with all kinds of people and experience all kinds of emotions before deciding whether or not he wants to be alone.

The pillow fight lasted for half an hour and was forced to an end after the last energy of the children was exhausted.

Even though they were panting from exhaustion, everyone had bright smiles on their faces.

“Whew, let’s-, let’s play again next time!”

Xu Youyou’s limbs were spread out on the bed. “My birthday is on the 7th of the next month. You will all come, right?”

“I’ll definitely come. I’m older than you then, Youyou. My birthday is in March.”

In the world of children, the older they get, the prouder they are. Liu Miaomiao happily stated, “I’m definitely the oldest. You guys have to call me older sister!”

“I’m born in February.” Liu Yanzhi interrupted, showing a smile that concealed his merit and fame.

It was unknown if he had figured something out, but in the second half of the birthday party, Liu Yanzhi also let himself go and play.

It was he who first smashed Liu Miaomiao with the pillow just now.

He looks like a gentle prince, but who would have known that he wouldn’t be weak at all when he ‘fights’?!

Then everyone lined up according to the month of their birth and found that the oldest one was really Liu Yanzhi, followed by Liu Miaomiao, then Lu Chenjun who was born in May, Gu Weiyi who was born in July, and Qian Xin who was born in September.

Xu Youyou was actually the youngest!

“You can’t just look at age!” Xu Youyou expressed her dissatisfaction. “It depends on your mental age. My mother said that only when your mental age is mature can you be considered a grown-up!”

‘Mental age, mature, grown-up’

The fact that they couldn’t even explain those words clearly doesn’t hinder the children from having a strong desire to win.

At the end of the argument, it was unknown who came up with the idea, but they decided to determine seniority by playing rock-paper-scissors, to which everyone agreed.

They seemed to be very confident in their luck.

“Rock! Scissors! Paper!”

After several rounds, the ultimate winner was Xu Youyou!

The little girl’s head instantly tilted up high. If there was a tail behind her, it was unknown how it would be happily wagging by now.

Other children also know how to accept defeat. However, they secretly thought to themselves that they would win next time.

“Then are we going to call you Boss Youyou?”

Qian Xin asked. He saw that all the gangsters on TV shouted so.

“It sounds so unpleasant.”

Liu Miaomiao expressed her dislike for that title.

“Sister You!”

“Horrible!”

“What then?”

“I don’t know!”

“Miaomiao is so stupid. What will you do when you go to school in the future?”

“Then I won’t go to school. My Mom and Dad will take care of me!”

“No! My Mom said you must go to school to learn knowledge. Only by learning can you become the boss!”

……

At midnight, Father and Mother Qian finally finished their work, and the two of them secretly opened the door to the bedroom.

Looking inside, they saw six babies sleeping in different positions on the big bed. Some were sleeping with their buttocks sticking out, some were spread out like a piece of pancake, and some seemed to be ‘dancing’. It was really hard for them to sleep so soundly.

Fortunately, the bed was big enough so they could sleep wherever they wanted without disturbing others.

Father and Mother Qian exchanged looks, smiled, and split up.

Mother Qian placed back the quilts for several children who had kicked off theirs, while Father Qian went to adjust the temperature in the room slightly. When it was done, Mother Qian carefully took out her mobile phone and took a photo.

The lighting was dim, but upon closer inspection, one could still make out the figure of several children.

Ten seconds later, the photo appeared in a parent’s group chat.

The parents of the six children were all there, but for Liu Yanzhi, it was his grandfather. After all, his father…… well, let’s not mention it.

The name of this group was so striking that it’s basically the first thing that someone would notice if they look at the mobile phones of these big bosses who make millions every minute.

【Human Babies: Parenting Tips Exchange Group.】

There’s no need to think about it to know that it’s Xu Wenyin who had picked the name!

———pr

Xu Youyou was having fun with her little friends, and Xu Wenyin wasn’t idle either.

She had now learned to gradually let go and no longer followed Xu Youyou all the time.

The book says that children need their personal space as they grow older and that parents would be disliked if they follow them too closely!

How could that be? She’s determined to be a great mother system!

So right now, Xu Wenyin was…… making money!

She had already wisely discovered that money was very important in this world!

In the novel, if Xu Youyou had money, could she still be bullied like that?

So Xu Wenyin must make lots and lots of money, preferably more than that scumbag!

She had contacted the number on the business card given by Lu Weizheng. After exchanging a few words, she didn’t know if Lu Weizheng said something, but the other party had a good attitude and the pay he was giving was also generous.

If everything went well and she worked hard for two or three years, she’d be able to buy Youyou a house of about 100 square meters in Jiang City.

However, the other party also said that the amount Xu Wenyin would receive was directly proportional to her skills. The better the performance, the more she would be given.

Xu Wenyin wasn’t afraid of things on the computer.

If it weren’t for the fear of scaring the other party and attracting the attention of the rules of this world, Xu Wenyin could create an AI in minutes.

But right now, she could only try her best to suppress her level and complete the other party’s request at a reasonable speed.

It’s just that for the first task, the other party probably wanted to test Xu Wenyin’s level, so the one given wasn’t difficult.

It took Xu Wenyin a minute to get it done, but she waited until the third day before contacting the other party. Even so, the other party seemed quite surprised.

What? You’re underestimating the strength of this system!

【Ms. Xu, you’re in Jiang City right now, aren’t you?】

The other side quickly sent another message, and after receiving Xu Wenyin’s affirmative answer, he directly stated that there was an urgent job.

It’s in the XX Building in Jiang City and they need to keep watch from 2:00 to 4:00 am tomorrow. If a hacker is attacking, they need to fight back. If not, they’d just run errands.

Xu Wenyin’s first reaction was to refuse.

She could only maintain her body for a little over two hours. Including the time on the road, it would be really risky.

After asking if it could be done at home and getting a negative answer, Xu Wenyin decided to give up on the deal.

She wanted to make money, but she had to protect her identity first.

If she were to vanish into thin air in public, then she wouldn’t be able to do her task anymore and would be immediately expelled after being discovered by the rules of this world!

【Sorry, I can’t……】

Just halfway through typing, another message came from the other side.

The other party stated that even if it’s just running errands, they could still earn six figures. If there’s a hacker invasion, they could even earn seven figures if they successfully fend them off!

Because it was urgent and the location was restricted, it was hard to make appointments with the top big shots.

The job that was previously given to Xu Wenyin would normally take a week, but she was able to get it done in two days and completed it beyond expectations, which was a testament to her skill.

And it wasn’t just Xu Wenyin who was invited this time. Under a big reward, brave fellows were bound to come forward. Those two were the key points.

Xu Wenyin probably belonged to the kind of existence where one more person brings more strength.

【Okay! I’ll take it!】

But Xu Wenyin didn’t mind. After hearing the price, she instantly changed her mind.

A seven-figure sum was at least one million yuan!

How much fried chicken could one million buy? Barbecue as well! What else was there to eat?

But the main point was that with one million, she could have the down payment for Youyou’s house!

At this time, Xu Wenyin had completely ignored the six-figure situation mentioned by the other party and even began to plan how to use the seven-figure number.

As for the issues she was worried about before……

It’s not entirely without a solution.

It was now 11:00 pm. She had plenty of time today because Youyou didn’t go to kindergarten but attended her friend’s birthday party. She spent more than an hour eating with Qin Yiren, so she still had an hour left.

Xu Wenyin could first rush to the hotel near the building and check-in, and then come out at 2:00 am, which would save time on the road. Then she could just return to the hotel after work and wait for the time to refresh the next night.

It’s just a few steps away!

Moreover, Xu Wenyin also confirmed with the other party that it would only be two hours, and she would have to leave once the time was up.

The other party also agreed.

But there’s still a problem. What about Youyou?

She’s staying at the Qian family’s house tonight and will go straight to kindergarten tomorrow morning, but she still has to go home in the afternoon.

The storm in Xu Wenyin’s brain began to swirl, and soon, the first candidate appeared.

【Asleep?】

Qin Yiren was lying on the bed watching TV when she received a message from Xu Wenyin.

This late?

Was there something wrong?

Qin Yiren’s first thought was of Juanjuan and Youyou at the Qian family’s house.

She quickly got up and replied.

【No. What’s wrong?】

Xu Wenyin didn’t hide it from her and told Qin Yiren that she had taken on a job, and wanted to entrust Youyou to her for a day.

As for why she couldn’t pick up Youyou the next day after working, Xu Wenyin gave the reason that she couldn’t stay up late, and once she did, she was sure to sleep all day!

Although this reason was a bit absurd, Qin Yiren didn’t delve into it.

After knowing that it was Lu Weizheng who introduced her to this job, Qin Yiren wasn’t worried that the other party was a scammer.

Lu Weizheng had spoken to her about this matter and the person he introduced was her brother’s subordinate. In fact, Qin Yiren could also introduce him, but she was worried that it would hurt Xu Wenyin’s self-esteem or something.

After all, they were true friends.

Qin Yiren cherished this friendship and didn’t want to create a rift because of her own unintentional actions.

She knew that it was hard for Xu Wenyin to raise Xu Youyou all by herself and that a child would need a lot of money as she grew up. The meaning of Lu Weizheng’s intervention would be different.

Although Qin Yiren could sense that Xu Wenyin wasn’t sensitive and suspicious based on their interactions during this period, and was rather carefree, she was just afraid of what might happen.

Anyway, it’s the same as long as the final goal is achieved.

So now that there’s such a rare opportunity, it was natural to seize it. No need to feel bad about her brother’s money.

Qin Yiren readily agreed and said that Xu Wenyin should go with peace of mind and that she would take good care of Xu Youyou.

With everything settled, Xu Wenyin no longer hesitated.

She quickly headed out to the basement to drive and book a hotel at the same time.

Then she was pleasantly surprised to find that the building itself was divided into two sections, the shorter one being a hotel, while the other was an office space.

This way, it’s even closer!

As for the expensive room rates of this five-star hotel, she’s going to make a million yuan, so would she still care about it?

At 1:58 am, Zhao Tao received Xu Wenyin.

At the same time, he was surprised that someone with such good skills could still be so beautiful.

Zhao Tao and Lu Weizheng weren’t friends, he was an employee of Qin Xiao.

But as Qin Xiao’s brother-in-law, Lu Weizheng naturally had some privileges.

Originally, Zhao Tao was wondering if the Lu family had no business in this area, and why Lu Weizheng wanted to introduce the person to him.

Now it makes sense!

This woman was so beautiful!

Lu Weizheng must have done it to avoid suspicion.

It was said that the Lu family’s second son was a hopeless romantic and would even risk his life for the daughter of the Qin family. Now it seems that the rumors were probably true.

Zhao Tao, who consciously understood, had a very polite attitude towards Xu Wenyin. Regardless of whether she was Lu Weizheng’s friend or not, she was skilled, and people with skills were popular wherever they went.

Not to mention that Xu Wenyin was so beautiful.

In the adult world, beauty was also a plus.

Zhao Tao led Xu Wenyin to a room full of computers, where two other people were already sitting.

Even when someone came in, the two didn’t react at all and seemed to be immersed in their own world.

Zhao Tao smiled resentfully and was about to introduce the three of them to each other, but who knew that Xu Wenyin didn’t care about etiquette any more than the others did? She directly found a computer and sat down. “As long as someone attacks, just fight them back, right?”

Zhao Tao: “……That’s right.”

Then he saw Xu Wenyin glancing at the time. Thinking about what she said about staying two hours at most, and that she would leave as soon as the time was up, Zhao Tao couldn’t help but complain in his heart, this capable person was really weird.

At 2:30 am, nothing happened.

Bored, Xu Wenyin started playing Fight the Landlord.

At 3:00 am, everything was calm.

Xu Wenyin recalled Zhao Tao’s statement that if she just ran errands, she could only earn six figures, and she thought to herself if she should pretend to be a hacker.

Otherwise, the difference between six and seven figures was too great.

At 3:07 am.

Xu Wenyin suddenly sat up straight.

Then the other two people also suddenly pushed their chairs, waking up Zhao Tao who was somewhat drowsy as he waited.

“What?! They’re here?”

No one paid any attention to Zhao Tao. Everyone’s hands were moving so fast on the keyboard that it seemed like he could only see afterimages!

Zhao Tao received a message from his colleague in the capital.

【Holy sh*t, Old Zhao! They hired Expert A! Can you resist him?】

Zhao Tao: “……”

He took a deep breath and looked at the other three people with him.

【We have to resist even if we can’t!】

At 3:46 am.

The man in a black shirt slammed the mouse hard and was the first to be taken out.

His computer screen had indeed turned blue.

“Expert A is still amazing. This time I was taken out four minutes shorter. Barely……”

He saw that the other party had started talking to himself but Zhao Tao didn’t come forward. He was more worried about the remaining two.

Even a civilian like him had heard the name of Expert A. Can Xu Wenyin and the other one hold on?

“Come on! You two! Hold on until four o’clock and add I’ll another five hundred thousand!”

The sudden message on his phone made Zhao Tao speak in a rush, obviously having received instructions from the above management.

This sentence instantly shook Xu Wenyin. Her hand speed increased by two points. At the same time, she asked, “How much more if we can get rid of the opponent?”

Zhao Tao suspected for a moment that he was hard of hearing. Does the other party know what she was talking about?

But his professionalism prevented him from speaking. Instead, he sent a message to ask his boss.

What if?

“Ms. Xu, if you can beat the opponent, my boss said he’ll add two million more!”

As soon as his words fell, there was another heavy sound of a fist slamming into the keyboard.

At 3:52 am, the second guy was declared ‘killed in action’.

Now there’s only Xu Wenyin left.

In fact, Xu Wenyin’s brain was completely fine and it didn’t matter no matter how fast it ran, but her hand speed was limited by her body, and it was solely being supported by money right now.

Two million!

Youyou would have a fully paid house!

Judging from her opponent, she now knew that this world’s computer skills could reach this level, so it shouldn’t be too much for her to narrowly win, right?!

Xu Wenyin saw that there were only five minutes left before 4:00 am, and her small universe^[1]slang; a thing that is in a person’s heart that contains all of the person’s emotions exploded once again.

She wants the money! There couldn’t be a problem!

At 4:01 am.

“Wham —”

Xu Wenyin’s entire body suddenly leaned back, and then she grabbed the bag beside her and rushed out the door.

“Remember to send the money on my card!”

A gust of wind blew by and Zhao Tao was dumbfounded.

Was this Ms. Xu playing some Cinderella script?

The one that disappears as soon as the time is up?
