Xu Yun slowed down and glanced at Guoguo through the rearview mirror. Her rosy, mischievous face showed no sign of car sickness at all: "If I switch to a Ferrari, I guarantee Guoguo won't feel sick."

Guoguo pouted and tried to change the subject: "Dad, I heard from Sister Wan'er that my homeroom teacher is a great beauty."

"Really?" Xu Yun's eyes lit up. A beautiful woman is good; a refined lady is what a gentleman should pursue: "Then, would I look out of place in this outfit?"

"What do you think?" Guoguo was speechless. Driving a second-hand Shenlong Fukan was already embarrassing enough, and with the flip-flops, tank top, and shorts... Oh, Dad, are you deliberately trying to make me lose face?

Xu Yun, however, was always confident: "I think it's fine. They're all freshly washed, and I have a car. We can still be considered middle-class, right?"

"You should give it a rest. Nowadays, even those who drive Audis are embarrassed to call themselves bosses. Only those with Mercedes-Benz S-Class or above dare to call themselves middle-class." Guoguo shrugged and spread her small, tender hands: "Dad, what kind of middle-class are you? Where does your confidence come from?"

Xu Yun was speechless. He thought to himself, I may not have much, but I have a group of beautiful women around me. Even the richest bosses don't have as many beauties as I do. Just for this, I can be prouder than them!

Ruan Qingshuang didn't say anything. They were supposed to go to school for registration, but how did it turn into a matchmaking event for Xu Yun?

"We're here." Qiu Yan spoke, always to the point.

Xu Yun turned on the signal and calmly turned the car toward the school gate. Several luxury cars drove into the gate of the bilingual international school one after another, indicating that the tuition here must be quite high.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" After the luxury cars drove into the school, the security guard lowered the barrier and stopped Xu Yun's Shenlong Fukan: "This is a school. What are you doing here?"

Xu Yun smiled: "I'm here to register my child."

The security guard glanced at Xu Yun's car and his outfit: "Brother, did you come to the wrong school? This is an elite school. Are you sure you want to register here?"

"Hmm." Xu Yun narrowed his eyes, wanting to punch this guy who looked down on him. He didn't stop the BMWs but blocked his Fukan.

Guoguo sighed, thinking it wasn't the security guard's fault.

The security guard was about to say more when a ponytailed beauty appeared at the school gate, walking confidently toward Xu Yun's Shenlong Fukan: "Excuse me, are you friends with Qin Wan'er?"

Damn! Xu Yun almost stepped on the gas in excitement. Luckily, the car's accelerator was a bit stiff, or the car would have shot forward!

What a beautiful and elegant lady, with willow-like eyebrows, ice-like skin, and a black seven-eighths pants and a khaki open-collar shirt neatly tucked into her waist. The slightly open collar tightly wrapped around her proud, almost bursting chest.

Xu Yun couldn't take his eyes off her. He really wanted to ask about the age range for admission to this school. He would definitely ask Qin Wan'er if he could enroll here through connections. That would be a great pleasure!

By this time, Ruan Qingshuang and Qiu Yan had already gotten out of the car with Guoguo.

"Hello, I'm Ruan Qingshuang, a friend of Wan'er." Ruan Qingshuang smiled: "This is my daughter, and this is her sister, Qiu Yan."

"Hello, beautiful teacher!" Guoguo's mouth was so sweet. She didn't even need to think before saying: "I'm Guoguo. Teacher, you are so beautiful. I used to think my mom and sister were the most beautiful, but I never expected you to be even more stunning!"

The ponytailed beauty teacher couldn't help but laugh at Guoguo's words. What a cute little girl! She was the most beautiful and adorable girl she had ever seen: "Hello, Guoguo. You are so cute. I really like you."

After that, the ponytailed beauty teacher smiled at Ruan Qingshuang and Qiu Yan and introduced herself: "I'm Su Xiaoran. I will be Guoguo's homeroom teacher. Shall we go inside to register?"

"Su Teacher, are they your friends?" The security guard finally relaxed his stern expression.

"Uh, they are acquaintances of Principal Dong." Su Xiaoran whispered.

The security guard's face instantly lit up, and he quickly raised the barrier: "Oh, you should have said earlier. It's a connection of Principal Dong. Come in, come in!"

However, the car didn't move at all. The security guard stiffened, wondering if he had offended someone. If he offended a connection of Principal Dong, he might lose his job...

"Ah." Guoguo sighed and patted the car door, whispering: "Dad, stop staring. You're embarrassing me! She will be my teacher, so you'll have plenty of chances to see her."

Xu Yun snapped out of it and said with a "Dad didn't raise you for nothing" expression: "Get in the car!"

"Let's skip the car..." Guoguo chuckled: "I need to register!"

Guoguo ran back, and Su Xiaoran politely smiled at Xu Yun in the car before turning to lead the group to the office to register.

Seeing this, Xu Yun quickly turned the car around and parked it outside the school gate, then got out and followed.

The registration process went smoothly. After everything was done, Ruan Qingshuang took out her phone: "Su Teacher, Guoguo is a bit mischievous. Please take good care of her. Can I have your number?"

"Of course!" Su Xiaoran quickly exchanged phone numbers with Ruan Qingshuang: "I think Guoguo is very well-behaved and full of spirit. You can rest assured."

Xu Yun chuckled: "You don't know her well yet."

"Dad? What did you say?" Guoguo glared at Xu Yun.

"I said you're the best." Xu Yun laughed and cried.

Su Xiaoran was quite impressed. Such young parents with a daughter this age, they must have married when they were still minors. Thinking about how she was already this age and hadn't even had a boyfriend, Su Xiaoran felt a bit awkward.

Later, she would definitely ask Qin Wan'er about this family. Su Xiaoran was upset that Qin Wan'er didn't come to her for Guoguo's enrollment but went to Principal Dong instead. She had already told Qin Wan'er that she was working as a teacher here, and Qin Wan'er still forgot!

"Su Teacher, it's almost noon. Would you like to join us for lunch at the herbal restaurant?" Ruan Qingshuang sincerely invited.

Guoguo also supported: "Su Teacher, please join us! My dad's herbal dishes are delicious."

"Sure, let me show Su Teacher my skills." Xu Yun volunteered without hesitation: "I'll make the famous American ginseng and stone斛slim meat soup!"

Su Xiaoran smiled and politely declined: "School starts tomorrow, and I have a lot to do. Maybe another time. I will definitely try Guoguo's dad's cooking."

"Since you have a lot to do, we won't disturb you." Ruan Qingshuang, hearing that she had a lot to do, didn't insist: "We'll leave now. Thank you, Su Teacher."

"It's my duty." Su Xiaoran smiled: "This was a direct order from Principal Dong, and I'm also good friends with Wan'er. I won't see you out. Goodbye."

As they spoke, they walked out of the office.

"Goodbye, Su Teacher!" Guoguo blew a kiss. She knew she would be with this teacher for the next few years, so she needed to build a good relationship.

"Goodbye, Guoguo!" Su Xiaoran smiled. This child was really adorable.

After saying goodbye to Su Xiaoran, they left the school. Xu Yun drove back to the herbal restaurant. Such a big event as Guoguo's enrollment deserved a celebration, so he would prepare some signature dishes!

The Shenlong Fukan parked stylishly in front of the herbal restaurant, but the restaurant was empty. It was understandable that Qiangzi and Xiaofei had gone out to play, but Pang Gang had promised to work overtime on the renovation. Why wasn't he there?

"How unprofessional." Guoguo got out of the car, shaking her head unhappily.

Ruan Qingshuang was also puzzled. Pang Gang didn't seem like an untrustworthy person. Why would he do this?

Xu Yun walked into the herbal restaurant. The level, air pump, and nail gun used for renovation were still there, along with a pile of gypsum boards, wooden strips, and plywood. If Pang Gang had decided to quit halfway, he wouldn't have left these tools behind. They were his livelihood.

"Something's wrong." Qiu Yan said calmly, noticing the subtle details.

Xu Yun kicked some wood chips with his foot. The dark red spots were clearly bloodstains. His brows furrowed, and his gaze swept over the renovation site. These bloodstains were everywhere.

What happened!

Could the Four Wolves Gang dare to seek revenge! Xu Yun clenched his fists, veins popping. These bastards!

Ruan Qingshuang felt a chill. Those people were truly formidable. How could Qin Wan'er catch them all alone?

Xu Yun looked up at the partially completed ceiling and felt confused. If it was the Four Wolves Gang, they would have smashed the place and destroyed everything.

But now, everything in the restaurant was intact, not even a piece of gypsum board was damaged, and there was no sign of anyone.

This must be something else!

Qiu Yan and Xu Yun had the same doubt. They didn't say much to Ruan Qingshuang, fearing she couldn't handle the pressure.

"Xu Yun, stay and take care of them." Qiu Yan said calmly: "I'll go check it out."

"Okay, be careful." Xu Yun didn't stop her. He thought Qiu Yan, with her experience in the underworld, would be better at investigating. Besides, he needed to prepare lunch: "I'll start cooking. We'll eat together when you come back."

Qiu Yan nodded and left without another word.

"Xu Yun, I have no appetite." Ruan Qingshuang couldn't eat. One problem after another, she really wanted to ask the heavens why she couldn't live a peaceful life.

Guoguo was very understanding: "Mom, if you don't eat, I won't eat either."

Ruan Qingshuang thought about Guoguo: "Then I'll eat, and you eat well too."

"Okay, let's have something light today." Xu Yun gave Guoguo a thumbs up and walked into the kitchen. It was lunchtime, and people need food to survive. One meal without food can make you very hungry.
