Shu Pan mourned her budding love with Wen Chi in her heart. It seemed like it was about to be smothered before it even began.

When she went to pick up Joy, Ye Xiaomeng noticed something was amiss with her. After inquiring, she understood the reason. She patted Shu Pan on the shoulder, conveying understanding without words.

She empathized deeply, knowing that a relationship involved not just two people but two families.

“Xiaomeng, do you think I’ll never find happiness?” Shu Pan said with teary eyes.

“Girl, don’t talk like that. Maybe Wen Chi will convince his parents? You’re a catch, he knows that. If he misses you, it’s his loss,” Ye Xiaomeng hugged her, providing comfort.

“Wen Chi, if you still consider me your mother, you’ll break up with Shu Pan,” Mrs. Wen threatened Wen Chi.

“Mom, it’s not Shu Pan’s fault. I love her for who she is. She’s diligent, caring. If you spend more time with her, you’ll see her true character, and you might grow fond of her,” Wen Chi’s face showed pain due to his mother’s disapproval.

He ran his hand through his hair, and his once sparkling eyes now appeared dull.

“With her background, I just can’t bring myself to like her. There are so many well-bred girls who adore you. Why her?” Mrs. Wen lamented her son’s disregard for her advice.

“Mom, you have to think rationally. It’s the modern age. We don’t need to stick to traditional values like ‘marrying into an appropriate family,”‘ Wen Chi felt that his mother was stuck in the past.

“Well, I just won’t approve…” Mrs. Wen remained resolute.

Wen Chi glanced at his mother, then walked out in big strides.

He drove around aimlessly, not knowing how to face Shu Pan. He hadn’t anticipated such a strong reaction from his mother.

What should he do?

Since their visit to the Wen family, Shu Pan and Wen Chi had silently refrained from contacting each other.

Both needed time to deal with this issue.

Joy had been attending kindergarten for several months, and every day she was as happy as a little bird. Shu Pan was grateful that her daughter had such a cheerful and optimistic personality, unlike herself, who tended to keep things to herself.

One day, while Shu Pan was at work, she received a call from Joy’s kindergarten teacher. Her heart skipped a beat. Receiving a call from the teacher during work hours usually meant something had gone wrong.

As expected, as soon as she answered the call, she heard the teacher’s urgent voice on the other end. “Joy’s mom, we need you to come to the kindergarten. Joy had a fight with one of her classmates.”

“What? I’ll be there right away,” Shu Pan quickly informed her manager and rushed to the kindergarten.

The other child involved in the fight was a boy named Wang Zihang, and his parents had also been called.

At the moment, the two children were sitting by the window, heads down, not uttering a word.

“Oh my, my son Zihang, how could he end up like this?” Wang Zihang’s mother anxiously pulled her son to her side, inspecting him closely. She noticed two red scratch marks on Prince Hang’s face.

“Mom, it’s Joy who scratched me,” Wang Zihang immediately complained as soon as he saw his mother.

“It’s because he said I’m a wild child with no dad!” Joy, feeling wrongly accused, protested.

“Joy, what happened?” Shu Pan saw that Joy’s morning braids were all unraveled.

“Mom, Wang Zihang called me a wild child with no dad. I didn’t do anything, and he started it,” Joy felt extremely aggrieved.

“Teacher, does this kindergarten enroll just anyone? It seems we need to consider transferring to another school,” Wang Zihang’s mother criticized, implying something else..
