No one knew any of this.
However, Li An beside him understood the president's mood very well. Seeing the president's stiff posture, he knew he was on high alert.
Compared to their tension, Jian You didn't react much. She usually wouldn't answer such calls, so she directly hung up.
However, not long after she hung up, the phone rang again...
This time, even Lu Haoran noticed something was wrong. If it were his brother, his sister-in-law wouldn't have hung up. It must be someone she didn't know, but who would a stranger keep calling?
Lu Haoran quietly approached Jian You...
As the person involved, she didn't feel anything, or rather... she didn't think anyone would look for her. At least, she had been living her own life since she woke up.
Therefore, she directly answered, wanting to figure it out, otherwise the phone would just keep harassing her.
After pressing the answer button, Jian You didn't speak, waiting for the other person to speak first.
Jian You only noticed Lu Haoran approaching, but she didn't notice that in the quiet air, the owners of six ears were holding their breath, listening to the movements on this side...
Plus... four pairs of eyes.
Xuan Mohan, Li An, Lu Haoran, and Xia Han were all looking at Jian You...
At this moment, a deep, middle-aged male voice came out...
"Esteemed parents, hello. I am the event organizer from Peter Kindergarten. After unanimous research and discussion by the school, your child has been awarded 'Outstanding Student.' You are specially invited to speak as a student's parent representative. If you have time, would you be able to attend the opening ceremony?"
As if to explain his actions, the person on the other end of the phone added apologetically:
"This is a temporary segment added by the school to promote communication between students and parents, and also to motivate students to learn and grow better. We sincerely apologize if this causes you any inconvenience..."
"..."
Jian You was always a woman of few words, so this long speech truly tested her patience.
Xuan Mohan on the other end immediately narrowed his eyes. Although the words themselves were fine, he had a gut feeling that something was not simple. Therefore, he immediately gave instructions, his gaze never leaving the computer in his hand: "Trace this number, and investigate the situation within the school!"
As the president's capable subordinate, Li An naturally understood what the president wanted to know, so he looked serious and was about to walk away with his phone.
As soon as he turned around, the low, cold voice from behind him came again: "Go back!"
"..."
Is the president serious? Nothing has happened yet, and he's already turning the plane around? Then they wouldn't have to do anything. If the young madam choked on water, would the president rush home immediately?
He had never seen such a wife-slave beside him...
However, there was indeed a slight issue with this phone call, which was that...
The person invited was the "returned young madam," not the president who remained with them.
Fearing that the little woman would agree, Xuan Mohan quickly sent a message to Lu Haoran.
This process took only tens of seconds, so Jian You hadn't spoken yet.
She pressed her temples. She now knew she was the mother of the children. It would be inappropriate not to attend their commendation ceremony, and she also had an inexplicable fondness for the children.
This was also why Xuan Mohan was anxious; he feared the little woman would have no defenses.
Just as Lu Haoran finished reading the message and was about to say something, Jian You finally spoke. Her lips moved slightly, and her clear, slightly cold voice filled the silent space.
"How did you know me?"
The other party paused, and the next moment replied: "Yes, we found the children and told them about this, to prepare them mentally. We also asked for their parents' contact information and dialed your phone number. Aren't you the parent of Lan Tongtong and her siblings?"
Xuan Mohan, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, clenched his fists again. This person knew how to speak. If someone wasn't particularly careful, this question would dispel their doubts.
Qianqian, what should I do with you? Do I need to keep you by my side twenty-four hours a day to feel at ease...
Jian You was unaware that the three men were worried about her. She was slightly stunned by the man's resolute words, then nodded: "Okay, I will attend this afternoon."
Xuan Mohan on the other side instantly became furious and wanted to kill. He gripped the phone in his hand so hard that it deformed...
Li An silently pitied the phone. This was the latest model, and it was a limited edition, its value immeasurable.
President, could you please tell your little assistant before you destroy something next time? He really needs it...
"Thank you for your busy schedule..."
Hearing this voice, Xuan Mohan wished he could reach through the phone and snap the person's neck...
"Do I need to tell you what to do..."
Li An felt like he was in an ice cellar. Why was someone always restless, making them all apprehensive?
No, he was just very confused. The young madam had just returned, and someone was already targeting her?
Xuan Mohan knew the situation clearly. Ever since his little woman returned, he had protected her very well.
If she could still be found by someone with ulterior motives, he had no other explanation besides her constitution being known.
Therefore, this person absolutely cannot have any problems...
After Jian You hung up the phone, she received a rather unfriendly gaze.
She calmly took a sip of the sweet fruit tea while holding her cup: "What? As the children's mother, can't I attend the school activities?"
"Sister-in-law, it's not that you can't, it's just..."
Jian You didn't intend to listen further. She put down what she was holding, threw down a sentence, and walked towards the stairs: "I'm going to change. You all sit for a while..."
After Jian You disappeared from sight, Lu Haoran leaned on the sofa with his arms crossed, looking troubled: "Mo, what should we do if sister-in-law goes? Please try to persuade her."
She had just returned, and now she had to go on an adventure?
Lu Haoran's words only made Xuan Mohan more agitated. He couldn't sit still and smashed everything he could.
To get back as soon as possible, he had instructed the driver to drive at the fastest speed before leaving, so it was impossible to get back so quickly.
He could only call Qianqian, hoping she would be more obedient...
Before Xuan Mohan's slender fingers could tap his phone, a message automatically popped up. He didn't need to open it to know its content.
"Mohan, I need to go."
Xuan Mohan was silent for only a second before unlocking his phone and sending a message: Wait for me at home, be good.
Jian You rummaged through the entire wardrobe and changed into casual clothes. Seeing the message, she pursed her lips and smiled lightly, then replied: "You sent people to protect me, and there are people downstairs. Don't worry, nothing will happen. You focus on your work, don't worry about me."
