“Yеs!” Тhe Yin fаmily dаughter-in-law also grew аngry at thе mentiоn оf this. “What is Нe Dе doing?”
“Sо, what do you think? Should wе join forсes with оther parents and raise this issue?” Wang Wenqin urgеd.
“Sure, let’s mаke thеm transfer thаt сhild аwaу аs sоon аs possiblе. Тhе Ling fаmily is alreadу in such a wrеtсhеd statе, yet theу still send thеir сhild tо suсh a gоod clаss. Arеn’t they аfraid of shоrtеning Grandpа Ling’s lifеsраn?” The Yin family dаughtеr-in-law spat venomous wоrds.
Yin Хuetong had rеturnеd homе tоdaу with red, tеаrful eуes, which had broken her mother’s heart.
Even if Wang Wenqin hadn’t said anything, she wouldn’t have let that child off the hook.
“Alright, then let’s contact the other parents separately and go straight to the kindergarten administration tomorrow to voice our concerns!”
…
“I’ll see if there’s a chance to arrange a meeting with Minister Dou,” Ling Xuanyan said to Grandfather. “As for his daughter…”
“I think we shouldn’t act rashly toward his daughter,” he said after some thought, expressing his opinion. “He didn’t bring his daughter when he took up his post in the capital, clearly indicating he doesn’t want his family involved in disputes. The child left behind by his deceased wife must be his most cherished person. Touching her would be like touching a dragon’s reverse scale.”
In the past, he would have started with the other party’s daughter to secure a binding interest.
But now, perhaps because Xiao Ling Bao had returned, a tenderness he had never felt before had emerged in his heart…
Ling Xuanyan was unwilling to use any despicable means to deal with a little girl the same age as Ling Bао, a poor child who had also lost her mother.
Grandfather didn’t respond to Ling Xuanyan’s words. Instead, he asked his precious granddaughter, “What does Xiao Ling Bao think?”
Xiao Ling Bao answered irrelevantly, “Second Uncle will pick me up tomorrow!”
“Great!” Ling Yixi nearly snapped to attention and saluted.
After speaking, he couldn’t help but cast a smug glance at his brothers around him.
Grandpa Ling: “…”
Xiao Ling Bao had been a bit absent-minded these past few days.
Could it be… she had something on her little mind?
…
The next day, when Pearl saw Xiao Ling Bao at the kindergarten, she almost turned around and ran back in anger.
Why?
Mom had clearly said she would find a way to make Little Mud leave this place, so why was she still here?
Moreover, she was wearing another new dress.
This dress wasn’t as extravagant as yesterday’s, but the style was so unique, and the color was so novel—something she had never seen before.
Little Mud had also braided her hair into two pigtails, with hair ties at the ends. Pearl recognized them as the limited-edition Candy Planet series released by a certain luxury brand.
Pearl also had Candy Planet hair ties, but hers were only the Earth and Moon designs.
Yet Little Mud was wearing the Pluto and Andromeda Nebula designs.
These two designs, it was said, were only available to a few royal princesses.
Little Mud should only be fit to wear the Broom Star design!
Pearl felt jealous. At such a young age, she experienced a strangely twisted sense of resentment.
Turning her head, she saw Yin Xuetong wearing an equally resentful expression.
“My mom said she’ll drive her away,” she told Pearl. “Don’t worry, she’s just a little mudball. She doesn’t deserve to go to school with us.”
But Pearl couldn’t wait that long.
Her palms itched, as if a grasshopper were jumping inside…
…
During the afternoon pottery class, all the children changed into special class uniforms.
The childcare worker hung the children’s personal clothes on their respective name tags, neatly organized them on hangers, and pushed them into a corner of the changing room.
Halfway through the class, Pearl seized an opportunity and sneaked out.
She went to the changing room, found Little Mud’s dress, and pulled a lump of clay from her bosom, smearing it onto the dress handful by handful.
“Let you wear a new dress! Let you wear it!” she muttered through gritted teeth while viciously smearing the clay.
A dark cloud hung over her childish face.
After finishing this, Pearl felt much better.
She was only worried that her sneaking out might be discovered by the teacher, but it turned out she had overthought it.
All the teachers and children had formed a circle in the pottery classroom, exclaiming in amazement one after another.
And at the center of the circle was Little Mud…
“Little friend Ling Ziqi is amazing!” Even Teacher Han was applauding. “Can you give this antler to the teacher?”
“No, this is for my uncle,” Xiao Ling Bao replied without looking up.
Teacher Han: “…”
Other children would more or less try to please the teacher.
But this child from the Ling family was just too… straightforward.
Teacher Han felt uncomfortable.
However, she wasn’t the only one feeling uneasy—Pearl’s eyes were practically popping out of her head.
The pottery wheel was spinning rapidly, and on it, a complex and magnificent antler seemed to come alive, growing out of Little Mud’s palm.
Even though her little hands barely moved, the antler somehow knew which direction to branch, extend, and take shape…
This little Broom Star actually knew how to work with clay?
Pearl remembered that when she was at the Wang family, she didn’t even get to play with modeling clay!
Had she stolen her plasticine to play with?
Little Mud, this thief!
…
Ling Ziqi became the new star of Class Three, Cherry, at Hede Kindergarten!
Not only teachers from other classes, but even the kindergarten principal was astonished.
Everyone gathered around the enormous antler, marveling endlessly.
“Isn’t this incredible? Did a three-year-old really make this?”
“Even an adult couldn’t make something like this.”
At the very least, none of the teachers present could have done it.
The principal couldn’t help but raise her phone: “Let me take a photo and post it on my social media…”
“Little friend Ling Ziqi, does your family know you’re a… little genius?”
Hede was no stranger to children from wealthy families, but it was still in need of geniuses.
Anywhere in the world, people with special talents are particularly favored and admired.
“Ling Bао isn’t a genius,” Xiao Ling Bao waved her hand dismissively. “It’s just genetics.”
“Genetics?” Everyone was surprised.
After a moment, the principal remembered.
Fourth Brother of the Ling family had once been a genius painter and sculptor.
It was just that later, he…
“Ah,” the principal sighed inwardly. “Ling Bао is so talented, your uncle must be very proud.”
Ling Bао’s antler was carefully taken away and placed in a glass cabinet to dry.
After the principal and teachers from other classes left,
the children of Class Three, Cherry, erupted in excitement.
“Ling Ziqi, can you make an Ultraman for me?”
“Ling Ziqi, could you make this magic wand for me?”
“Ling Ziqi, make mine first! I’ll give you a set of gemstone flying chess!” And those were real gemstones.
“Make mine! I’ll give you my diamond tiara!”
“Me first! I’ll give you a Porsche!”… a children’s car, but it could actually be driven and was quite expensive.
“I’ll give you a princess castle this big!”
The children instinctively started bidding, and their offers grew increasingly extravagant.
The teachers had to work hard to calm them down.
Xiao Ling Bao comforted the children, “Everyone should still do their own homework, but if there’s anywhere Ling Bао can help, Ling Bао can lend a hand.”
“Okay!” the children replied in unison.
“Hmph!” Yin Xuetong grabbed Pearl’s hand, “Let’s go, we’ll do it ourselves.”
She would never ask Little Mud for help. These ignorant classmates had no idea that this little beggar would soon be kicked out of Class Three.
