Chapter 94: Successful Battle For Favor
Qiu Tong could tell that Ye Luan was deliberately hiding something. She threw the cotton bud into the trash can and bandaged him.
“I heard them asking you to hand over something. Do you have something that others want?”
“Is that why those people are chasing after you? If that’s the case, you can give it to me. I’ll keep it safe for you for the time being.”
“There are many of them. You are a child and it will be difficult to guard it. You might even be killed for it.”
She tried to persuade him seriously, but Ye Luan became wary of her. His dark eyes were fixed on Qiu Tong, his lips pursed into a straight line.
“I don’t have anything.”
Sensing that Ye Luan was stiffening up again, Qiu Tong didn’t press further. Instead, she started to pack up the first aid box.
Qiu Xingqiao listened to their conversation and was very dissatisfied with Ye Luan’s attitude. He lifted his chin and walked up to him. “How could you do this?! It was because of you that nearly got us killed!”
“In order to protect you, Mommy got into dangerous situations several times, but you refused to say anything…”
“You’re not welcome here. Get out! Leave our home…”
Qiu Xingqiao pushed Ye Luan’s shoulders and looked at the delicate but taciturn boy in front of him. He snorted angrily. Ever since he came home, his mother no longer cared about them!
Ye Luan lowered his eyes in silence for a long time. He didn’t refute but bowed deeply to Qiu Tong and walked towards the door.
Qiu Tong saw that he was about to leave and hurriedly stopped him. She turned toward Qiu Xingqiao.
“Little Qiao, don’t be like that. Brother Ye Luan has his own problems. There are many secrets that can’t be divulged casually. It’s just like how you guys also have many things you can’t tell Mommy. It’s the same…”
“Mommy will protect you and this family. You have to promise Mommy to get along with Brother Ye Luan. Don’t say any more angry words.”
Qiu Tong tried to placate the children with furrowed brows. She looked at the mercenary Ke Le and said, “From tomorrow onwards, you will accompany me to send Ye Luan to school. This will be safer.”
The people who were pursuing Ye Luan today were quite skilled and liked to attack in a group. It was very difficult for Qiu Tong to deal with them alone.
Therefore, Qiu Tong planned to have one out of the five mercenaries and protect Ye Luan with her.
Qiu Xingyu, one of the triplets, analyzed the situation quietly and felt a little disappointed.
Mommy still wished to escort Ye Luan every day and not them…
Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
There was a solution!
Qiu Xingyu took the initiative to run to Ke Le’s side. She dragged two of the mercenaries over to Ye Luan’s side. She said in a soft voice, “Brother Ye Luan is in danger. More people should be assigned to protect him!”
“I have Eldest Brother and Second Brother to protect me. I’ll be fine!”
“Brother Ye Luan’s safety is more important. We’re nothing…”
Qiu Xingyuan was a little confused by Little Yu’s actions, but he quickly understood what she wanted to do. He added, “Yes, we don’t need mercenaries. I can protect them…”
“Even if we encounter danger, we can rely on ourselves to escape.”
Qiu Tong was very touched by Little Yu’s thoughtfulness, but she knew in her heart that she could not really ignore their safety like they had said.
She frowned and pondered for a while. Then, she nodded and said, “In that case, let’s change it. I’ll leave Ye Luan’s safety to the four of you.”
“From tomorrow onwards, Ke Le and I will escort them to and fro school.”
Qiu Xingyu quietly suppressed the smile on her face and placed her little hands behind her back. She made a “thumbs-up” gesture to Qiu Xingyuan.
She truly had a smart little head on her!
The battle for favor was a success!
Seeing this, the two boys rubbed their noses and looked out of the window in tacit understanding. They pretended nothing had happened.
…
The next day, the kindergarten held a parent-teacher meeting. Qiu Tong sat in the designated seat according to the teacher’s instructions. She did not expect Little Jin’s mother to be beside her.
Little Jin was the child who had damaged Qiu Xingyuan’s test tubes the previous time. They had an unpleasant experience together.
Little Jin’s mother remembered Qiu Ting’s arrogant and unreasonable attitude the previous time and was very unhappy with her. She deliberately moved away from the seat and kept a distance from Qiu Ting as she shouted.
“A child really takes after his parents. Your child has such a bad temper. He must have learned it from his parents at home!”
“Our children are in the same class as such children. I’m so worried every day!”
Little Jin’s mother snorted sarcastically at Qiu Tong.
Qiu Tong was reading the kindergarten teacher’s comments on the children and couldn’t be bothered to argue with the noisy woman.
Little Jin’s mother saw that she was silent and said proudly, “My child won the computer award! He’ll be able to go on stage to receive the award later!”
“It’s said that with these awards and certificates, they will be given priority when choosing their elementary and middle schools!”
