"Yes," Lu Yushan replied thoughtfully.
Hearing this, Bai Yirong frowned, her face full of confusion. "Yushan, that's not right. Didn't you say Shen Xi just returned from abroad not long ago? How could she have children with Qin Si Ye?"
"Mom, I don't understand either. And I never knew Shen Xi had children before," Lu Yushan continued after a moment of thought. "Besides, from the expressions on Qin Si Ye and Shen Xi's faces, they don't seem very close. There's even a sense of distance and unfamiliarity between them."
At this point, Xia Jingnan stepped forward, looking at Lu Yushan. "What's the point of you discussing these things? Our primary concern should be what to do about Junqi not being able to attend school. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have let you pick up the children."
"Sister-in-law, how can you blame me for this? It's Junqi who made a mistake first, which is why they seized upon his mistake and made such a decision," Lu Yushan retorted without backing down when she saw Xia Jingnan pointing the finger at her.
Xia Jingnan glared at her with wide, angry eyes. "This matter is certainly related to you. If it weren't for your past conflict with them, Junqi's minor mistake wouldn't have led to him being expelled from kindergarten!"
"You..." Lu Yushan was rendered speechless by her words.
"Alright, stop arguing. I'll call Director Chen to find out exactly what happened."
Lu Huai'an took out his phone and was browsing his contacts when Director Chen's phone rang.
As soon as the call was connected, Lu Huai'an asked sternly and directly, "Director Chen, I was just about to call you. Why was my grandson expelled from your kindergarten? Please give me a proper explanation."
From the other end, Director Chen said something that made Lu Huai'an's expression change from sternness to a gradual calm, and then to a hint of nervousness.
"Okay. I understand. That's how it has to be."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Qihang quickly asked, "Dad, what did Director Chen say?"
Lu Huai'an sighed, a look of helplessness on his face. "Director Chen said that Qin Si Ye is a director of their kindergarten and that the decision was made by him personally. He also can't help. However, he has already contacted another kindergarten for Junqi. It's also international and not inferior to Bo Jia."
"No. Bo Jia is the best kindergarten in City K. Why should our Junqi suffer such a disadvantage? I want him to stay at that school." Xia Jingnan could not accept this fact and continued to be insistent.
She reached out and grabbed Lu Yushan's arm. "Yushan, you are the mastermind behind this. I don't care what method you use, you must make Junqi stay at Bo Jia."
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Lu Yushan pushed her away forcefully. "What do you want me to do? Beg Qin Si Ye?"
Xia Jingnan stumbled back, barely managing to regain her footing. She pointed an angry finger at Lu Yushan's nose and cursed, "You unloved, worthless girl, how dare you push me! I will never let you get away with this today."
With that, she lunged at Lu Yushan.
The next second, a loud slap echoed through the hall.
"Enough! Jingnan, can you stop this nonsense!"
Xia Jingnan covered her face, her eyes filled with tears. She looked at Lu Qihang in disbelief. "You... you actually dared to hit me? Lu Qihang, are you even a man? Your wife is being bullied by others, and instead of helping her, you're ganging up with them to bully me. I... I can't stay in this house anymore. I want a divorce!"
With that, she grabbed Lu Junqi's hand and ran towards the main door.
Lu Junqi had already been frightened into crying by the chaotic scene. As he ran, he kept calling out, "Mommy, Mommy, where... where are you taking me?"
Lu Qihang glanced at the Lu family with a complex expression and then chased after them.
"Jingnan, calm down. Listen to me."
Looking in the direction they left, Lu Huai'an's gaze turned icy as he looked at his daughter. "Yushan, I wanted you to stay abroad for a longer period, but you wouldn't listen. Now look, as soon as you returned, you've thrown the household into chaos!"
"Dad. You also think this is my fault?" Lu Yushan looked at him with slightly reddened eyes.
