Chapter 208 Jiang Yan is bullied at school

Hearing the sound, both children looked towards the door.

Seeing their mother return, they all excitedly ran towards her.

"Mother."

"Mom, I miss you so much."

Wenrou has been gone for more than two months. Not only do the children miss her, but she also misses the children every moment.

Now that she's finally back, she can spend more time with the children.

She reached out and hugged her two daughters, wiping away their tears.

"I'm sorry, Mom will never leave for such a long time again." Looking at her two children looking so pitiful, Wenrou felt really guilty.

Holding her two children, she couldn't help but cry.

At this moment, Huo Yanchuan walked in.

Wenrou held her younger daughter in her arms, and he squatted down to pick up his older daughter, while also reaching out to wipe away Wenrou's tears.

"Alright, they're all back now. Don't be sad. Spend some time at home with the kids." Huo Yanchuan felt very sorry for his wife, who looked so haggard.

Wenrou nodded gently, and the two of them carried the children into the house.

Hearing the sound, Li Xiuying also came out from inside.

"Oh, Xiaorou, you're finally back! The two kids have been crying every night because they missed you so much. If you hadn't come back, I wouldn't have been able to handle them."

Lee Soo-young was also very excited to see Wenrou return.

Now that her two children are older, she can't manage them all by herself.

"Mom, I'm sorry to have troubled you these past two months while I was away," Wenrou said to Li Xiuying with a look of apology.

"The hardship itself wasn't the problem, it was just that the two children looked so pitiful that it was heartbreaking to see them like that."

Li Xiuying has changed a lot since then. Perhaps it's because she's gotten older and has experienced so much, so she's come to terms with things.

Now she no longer favors boys over girls as she used to, and she takes good care of all her children.

However, she still occasionally tries to take advantage of others. Although Wenrou has talked to her about it, this habit is hard to change in a short time, so Wenrou eventually had to give up.

During this period, Wen Jianshe also went to help out at the transportation team.

Although his health is not as good as before, he can still do some light work without any problems.

Although he said he was helping Wenrou and didn't expect to get paid, how could Wenrou really not give him any?

She sent a lot of money back to Wen Jianshe, but he couldn't bear to touch a single penny and saved it all.

Wenrou was afraid that he would refuse the money she offered, so she directly converted it into his salary and paid it to him. That way, Wen Jianshe would have no choice but to accept it.

Wenrou, during her trip to Beijing, naturally brought back gifts for her family.

"Mom, this is for you. You've worked so hard these past few days."

Wenrou bought Li Xiuying a dress and a gold necklace.

She went to Wangfujing Department Store, the largest and most comprehensive department store in Beijing. It had several floors, and she was so busy browsing that her eyes were dazzled.

She had originally planned to pick out some clothes for Li Xiuying, but after thinking about it, she decided to buy her this gold necklace instead.

These days, she's either busy with things in the fields or with the transport team, and she doesn't have time to take care of her children. It's all thanks to Li Xiuying who's been busy taking care of the house all day long.

Although she did do some things wrong in the past, she has changed a lot now.

Besides, Li Xiuying is her biological mother after all. Blood is thicker than water, so as her daughter, it's only right that she buys her a gold necklace.

This gold necklace wouldn't cost her much money. Knowing that Lee Soo-young liked money, nothing else was as good as buying this gold necklace.

Sure enough, Lee Soo-young's eyes widened when she saw the gold necklace that Wenrou took out.

"This...this was bought for me?"

Wenrou gently put the gold necklace around her neck and said, "Of course I bought it for you."

Looking at the glittering gold necklace around her neck in the mirror, Li Xiuying almost didn't recognize herself for a moment.

"Well... you can just buy something casually, why buy something so expensive? Besides, it's not appropriate for someone from the countryside like me to wear something so expensive."

Although that's what she said, her eyes were full of joy.

"Why not? It fits you perfectly." Wenrou knew that Li Xiuying was waiting for her to say this, so she smiled helplessly.

Sure enough, Li Xiuying accepted her offer as soon as she said it.

"My daughter is the best. She still thinks of me even when she's out, and bought me such an expensive necklace." She then showered Wenrou with compliments, and didn't forget to take the new dress inside to try it on.

She smiled gently, not revealing her little scheme.

Then she took out all the other gifts she had bought. She had also been shocked when she went shopping in the malls of Beijing.

She originally thought the state-run shopping mall in Qin City that she visited last time was already very big, but she didn't expect that the shopping mall in Beijing was several times bigger, with several floors, and selling all kinds of things.

It truly lives up to its reputation as the capital city, which further solidified her resolve to move to Beijing with her children in the future.

She bought a set of skincare products for Liu Xiaoyu and Peng Xiaowan, clothes for Wen Jianshe and Wen Jiguang, and even things for Wang Saozi and Xiaoya.

Needless to say, Wenrou buys gifts for her children most often when she goes out.

There were many toys and stationery items in state-run department stores in Beijing that she had never seen before, and she bought quite a few.

Not only did Wenrou buy gifts for her family, but Wen Jinian did too.

He went out with Wenrou this time, and her presence made Huo Yanchuan feel much more at ease.

When Wenrou came back, the two children were very excited. After dinner, it took her a long time to coax them to sleep.

However, Jiang Yan said today that the course was added by the school at the last minute, and it would be evening after class, so he would have to stay at the school.

He was still worried about his two younger sisters, especially Xiao Yunyao. He was afraid that if he didn't comfort her, she would run out again late at night.

So the next day after school, he ran to the door as soon as he finished packing his things, wanting to get home early to see his two younger sisters.

Just as he ran out of the school gate and was about to turn right, a voice called out to him, "Xiao Yan."

Hearing the sound, Jiang Yan stopped and turned around to see a gentle and familiar figure standing not far away.

"Aunt Xiaorou." Jiang Yan was very excited to see Wenrou.

"Xiao Yan." She smiled gently and walked towards Jiang Yan's location.

This child is becoming more and more like a little adult, and his style of dress is becoming more and more like Huo Yanchuan's.

Jiang Yan walked towards Wenrou at this moment, and before he could react, Wenrou hugged him.

"How are you? Do you miss me?"

Jiang Yan nodded.

Since Jiang Yan came to town to study, Wenrou hasn't asked him much.

She also felt guilty, not only because of her two daughters, but also because she was too busy to care for Jiang Yan.

She treated Jiang Yan as her own son since she adopted him. Although she has never mistreated him materially, she still lacks the companionship of parents.

"Xiao Yan, I'm sorry. I've been a bit busy lately and have neglected you. I promise I won't do it again," Wenrou said apologetically.

Jiang Yan was taken aback when Wenrou suddenly apologized to him. He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't need to be taken care of. I can take care of myself."

He can now not only take care of himself, but also help Li Xiuying take care of her two younger sisters.

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Wenrou felt even more guilty.

"I'm here at home, you don't need to shoulder so much. You're still a child, there are some things you don't need to worry about. Just remember to tell me if anything happens, don't be shy, okay?"

Wenrou knew Jiang Yan was sensible, but she didn't know he had become this sensible.

She only found out today that since Jiang Yan came to town to study, although his academic performance is still excellent, his teacher said that he usually likes to be alone and rarely communicates with other students.

Wenrou is worried that he will become more introverted and less sociable if things continue like this.

Moreover, no one knows who spread the rumor that Jiang Yan had no parents, and coupled with his genius, the school began to spread the idea that he was a freak.

Now, whether it's the cafeteria, the playground, or the classroom, no one at school wants to be with Jiang Yan.

If she hadn't made a special trip to the school today to inquire, she probably wouldn't have known about these things.

Looking at Jiang Yan with tenderness, she felt even more heartache.

This child never talks about these things when he comes home; he even thinks about helping his family and taking care of Li Xiuying's two younger sisters.

Hearing Wenrou's gentle words, Jiang Yan nodded.

"Let's go home." Wenrou reached out and took Jiang Yan's hand, heading towards home.

The military family compound had been uninhabited for some time, and the house hadn't been cleaned up, so these past few days she'd simply moved with the children to the house that Wen Jiguang had bought in town.

Anyway, she's going to move to Beijing soon, so this is a good time for her to spend more time with her family and children.

After arriving home, Wenrou didn't mention the school incident to Jiang Yan. She had already spoken with the teachers and hoped they would handle the matter seriously.

In the evening, Wenrou personally cooked a large meal for her family.

Jiang Yan also enjoys the food Wenrou cooks; he hasn't had it in a long time since Wenrou got busy.

Wen Jianshe and Wen Jiguang returned home that evening. Seeing that the family was finally reunited, Wen Jianshe even took out his treasured wine and drank with Wen Jiguang and the others until they were half-drunk.

Huo Yanchuan returned a little late, and Wenrou had left him some food.

After putting the children to sleep that night, Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan discussed their upcoming trip to Beijing and Jiang Yan's situation at school.

"Xiao Yan is such a sensible child. I'll go with him to school tomorrow to deal with this. I want everyone to know that our Xiao Yan is not a child without parents."

Wenrou gets very angry when this is mentioned.

Although she has been quite busy lately, the school can't allow others to bully Xiao Yan like this, can it?

"I don't have anything planned for tomorrow, so I'll go with you," Huo Yanchuan said.

Wenrou nodded gently. With Huo Yanchuan's intervention, it would put some pressure on the school and make them take Jiang Yan seriously.

The next morning, Wenrou entrusted her two daughters to Li Xiuying's care and then went to Jiang Yan's school with Huo Yanchuan.

Jiang Yan left first; he didn't know that Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan were coming to his school.

The school was holding a parent-teacher meeting today, and all the parents arrived early, except for him who didn't bring any parents.

Jiang Yan knew that Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan were both very busy, so he didn't tell them about the parent-teacher conference he was attending.

He didn't care that people at school said he was a freak because he didn't have parents.

As long as he knows that his family treats him well and that he is happy now, that's enough.

"Hey kid, where are your parents?"

"He doesn't have parents, so of course no one will attend his parent-teacher conferences."

"Is it because he's a freak that his parents don't want him anymore?"

"So what if you're good at studying? So what if you skipped a grade? What does it prove besides that you're a freak?"

Several classmates who were a little older than him looked at Jiang Yan with mocking expressions, and their words were like nails piercing Jiang Yan's heart.

Hearing these words, Jiang Yan clenched his fists tightly in anger.

Finally, he wanted to hit Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan, but then he thought of the Wen family and put his fist down.

It was just a few words; it's not like he hadn't heard them before.

Aunt Xiaorou and the Wen family have been very kind to him, and he doesn't want to cause them any trouble.

Jiang Yan ignored what they were saying and lifted his foot to enter the classroom.

But these people were clearly unwilling to let Jiang Yan go; they were all poor students who ranked at the bottom of the class.

After each exam, the teacher would compare Jiang Yan with them.

If they were their peers, it wouldn't be a problem, but Jiang Yan was several years younger than them, yet he scored higher than them, even ranking first in his class and grade several times in a row.

This severely damaged their self-esteem, making them hate Jiang Yan even more.

It was these few people who spread the word about him being a freak, wanting everyone to stay away from Jiang Yan and to let everyone know that he was different from others and was a freak.

"Don't go too far," Jiang Yan warned, glaring at them fiercely.

Those men clearly didn't take his warning seriously. They stepped forward and were immediately surrounded by him, as if they wanted to teach him a lesson.

The other students in the class were already used to this scene. These people all came from families that were not to be trifled with in the town, and the leader was the nephew of the factory director.

Even the school leaders have to give him some face, let alone the students in the class.

"Too much? Even if we beat you up right here today, what can you do about it?" The leader reached out and grabbed Jiang Yan's shoulder, a malicious smile on his face.

All of them were older than Jiang Yan and much taller than him. If a fight broke out, he would definitely be the one getting beaten up.

Just then, a serious voice came from the side.

Immediately afterward, before the group could react, they were kicked hard to the ground.

When they looked up, they saw a man in military uniform standing in front of them with a serious and intimidating expression on his face.
