TGLC Chapter 20.1

The Scheming Girl (1)

Advertisement

For the next two days, Duan Zihui seemed to be in City D. Xie Qingyu didn’t know what he was doing specifically. He didn’t come over until around three or four in the afternoon on Sunday.

That evening, after agreeing with Zhuzhu to go to kindergarten with her on Monday, he left later.

“Dad is going to take me to kindergarten tomorrow. I’m so happy.”

After Duan Zihui returned, Zhuzhu jumped for joy, as if having her father take her to kindergarten was a truly delightful thing.

Of course, she was really happy.

A huge smile spread across her face.

Xie Qingyu felt a little jealous and asked her, “You weren’t even that happy when Mom sent you to kindergarten? Your Dad only sent you once, so why are you so happy?”

When Zhuzhu heard her mother’s jealous words, she quickly said, “Mom sends me to kindergarten every day, and I’m happy every day.”

This little mouth…

Xie Qingyu looked at her with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

“Are you happy every day? Who stays in bed every day?”

Zhuzhu pursed her lips and said rather guiltily, “Uh… Isn’t that because I’m too sleepy? When I woke you up on Sunday, didn’t you also stay in bed? How dare you criticize me?”

“You have so many excuses.”

After Xie Qingyu said this to her, she walked away gracefully and continued to read her book.

Last time, she managed to read two pages, which was a big improvement. Her dream today was to read three pages.

If she increased the number of pages day by day, she would be able to read a lot over time.

Alas, she really missed the time when she was studying. It was much easier to read casual books back then than it is now. After a few years in society, she found it less and less interesting to read paper books.

Early the next morning, Duan Zihui came back.

When he came, he also bought buns and rice rolls for Zhuzhu.

The little girl ate a hearty breakfast. After finishing her meal, she packed her schoolbag and, smiling brightly, took her father’s hand as she headed off to kindergarten.

The kindergarten was just 500 meters from the entrance and could be seen as they drove in.

Seeing Duan Zihui coming back to send his daughter off, Xie Qingyu didn’t want to go out anymore. She said, “Let Dad take you there.”

Little Zhuzhu was naturally unhappy. She pouted and said, “Mom, do you know that some important occasions require both mother and father to participate?”

Xie Qingyu curled her lips and said, “Isn’t it just sending you to kindergarten? What’s so important about that? It’s not like you’re not going to kindergarten tomorrow.”

As soon as she saw her mother trying to sneak off to her room to slack off, Zhuzhu rushed over, grabbed her mother’s skirt, and tried to pull her out.

She said, “Mom, other people’s parents always send their children to kindergarten together, but my parents never send me to kindergarten together.”

Xie Qingyu paused, her expression slightly broken.

Zhuzhu said that her parents had never taken her there.

Although Xie Qingyu is quite self-aware and knows that she is sometimes not responsible enough as a mother, Zhuzhu is her daughter who was raised with great care, so she naturally wants her to be no worse than other children in every way.

Her financial situation is pretty good, and she can provide a good life for her children.

But there is one major flaw: She can’t give her a complete family.

As for Duan Zihui, forget it, marrying him would be like sleeping in a grave. She would never consider it again.

As for the rest…

Xie Qingyu couldn’t help but sigh.

There are really not many outstanding men in this world.

She just wants a man who can make some money, is good-looking, loves her, and can accept Zhuzhu. (T/N: Ehmm, I think it’s not ‘just’. It’s a lot, hehe…)

Unfortunately, a sister she knew and a kind aunt from the neighborhood introduced her to someone twice, but she felt that they were not suitable. She felt that it was unfair to the people who introduced them, so she just let the matter go.

“Let’s go.”

With lowered eyes, Xie Qingyu finally agreed to send Zhuzhu to kindergarten together.

Duan Zihui was driving. Xie Qingyu was a little too lazy to drive, so she went downstairs and went straight to his car.
