Zhang Yue received the gift. When she found out that the children had secretly bought it, she was pleasantly surprised, but she was also quite frightened.

“It’s too dangerous for the three of you to buy gifts alone. What if you meet bad people? What should I tell your mother if something happens?”

The three babies lowered their heads and acted like they understood their mistakes.

Zhang Yue couldn’t say anything harsh. She held her forehead and said, “I really like the gift. Thank you for your kind intentions. Go and play.”

Joy spread across the three children’s faces. They thought they’d escaped and headed off to play.

But Zhang Yue wasn’t prepared to let them off.

She could not control the children. She had to tell Yanyan about their secret actions!

A moment later, Jian Yan, who was admiring the office, received a message and a photo.

Zhang Yue explained the actions of the children and said at the same time, “They bought me a gift. I’ve opened them and saw that it’s quite expensive, but I feel that it doesn’t match the aesthetic standards of children their age…”

The necklace that Lin Zhi had chosen was inlaid with gold and diamonds. It was shaped like a gold nail and had a rough style. It was obvious that children would not like it.

Jian Yan could tell at one glance that this was definitely not the taste of her three children.

The children she raised resembled her. She would never give Zhang Yue a necklace like this. Instead, she would choose something according to Zhang Yue’s preferences.

This necklace… was more like her stepmother’s style.

Realizing this, Jian Yan’s expression changed. She quickly searched for Lin Zhi’s name on the Internet. The words “bullying and abusing children” greeted her. The comments section was very lively. There was also a video that could be played. The screenshot of the video was of Yanyan being pushed down.

Jian Yan’s entire body was trembling, not from fear, but from anger.

The three children had already returned to Zhang Yue’s side. Since Zhang Yue didn’t say that they were injured, they were definitely fine.

However, Lin Zhi had dared to bully her daughter. She would never forgive her!

Jian Yan’s eyes were cold and frightening.

She had been disgusted by Lin Zhi countless times in the past and had even been tricked by her the day before. However, none of this was as infuriating as her daughter being shoved to the ground.

This was the child that she had painstakingly given birth to, the child that she pampered and loved!

The assistant secretary Li Zhou arranged for was named Qiao Qian. Seeing that Jian Yan was upset, she secretly sent a message to Li Zhou, who immediately informed Fu Li about the situation.

Fu Li was in his office upstairs.

His original plan was to meet Jian Yan by chance. After receiving the news, he went downstairs without hesitation and pushed the door open.

“Yanyan, how’s the office? Are you satisfied?”

“Yes, it’ll do.” Jian Yan didn’t care why he had barged in. She nodded at Qiao Qian. “Assistant Qiao, I have something to deal with. I’ll leave first. Goodbye.”

She then walked out of the door and brushed past Fu Li.

Fu Li grabbed her hand.

“Yanyan, you’re too emotional to be driving yourself. I’ll drive you.”

He lowered his voice and leaned closer to Jian Yan and said in a low voice, “Is it because of the news? Someone has already hacked the site. Although the rumors are still around, I’ve arranged for the public relations department to handle it. You don’t have to worry, Yanyan.”

Jian Yan did not reply to him.

It seemed that Fu Li did not know that the children had been bullied by Lin Zhi, and she did not want him to know about it either.

The reason why Fu Li was so concerned about her now was probably because of the children. Although she had already told him that the children were not his, he clearly did not believe her…

“Yanyan, I will protect you,”

Fu Li promised solemnly as he stroked Jian Yan’s black hair.

Qiao Qian couldn’t help but feel that she was being a third wheel. She walked into an office on the left and closed the door gently.

Fu Li was quite satisfied with the trustworthiness of his employees. He decided to ask Li Zhou to increase Qiao Qian’s salary later. He kissed Jian Yan’s forehead tenderly.

Jian Yan refused to flirt and pushed him away.

“I can manage on my own.”

She had to find the three children and find out what was going on.

As they walked, Jian Yan gradually calmed down. She guessed that the three children, who had proposed to go to Xingyuan Business Square in the morning, were the instigators of this whole fiasco.

The city was so big, so why would they have run into each other?

Lin Zhi did not know of the existence of her three children and would not take the initiative to get to know them either. However, these three mischievous and capable brats were daring enough.

After figuring this out, Jian Yan was no longer as anxious. However, her desire for revenge did not disappear.

That woman had pushed Yanyan away, causing her to fall. She had to settle both her old and new grudges!

The elevator doors opened.

“Hey, isn’t this Miss Jian? Why are you here? You’re not even wearing a mask. Everyone on the Internet is scolding you. Aren’t you afraid that people will throw eggs at you?” Wang Meng said sarcastically.

Before Jian Yan could say anything, Fu Li, who was following closely behind Jian Yan, made her shut her mouth..
