1990s: Spring Water Family

Chapter 298 Extra Chapter Six: Baby's Paper-Cutting Fashion Show
"Sister, I was wrong."

When Chen Xiaoyi saw his sister crying, he panicked, and the slight resentment he had towards his brother-in-law was immediately forgotten.

"You were indeed a bit impulsive this time."

Lin Xiyu smiled with relief and patted his shoulder to comfort him: "It's good that you can recognize your mistake. Don't worry, with your brother-in-law here, even if we really go to court, you won't suffer any losses."

"At most, a lawsuit will result in an out-of-court settlement."

My cousin came in afterward, and looked at Zhu Luoxuan with a rather unfriendly gaze: "I'd like to see what kind of punishment those people who deceived others' feelings will receive if a lawsuit really goes on. We have the evidence and we can expose this matter and let everyone know their ugly faces."

Zhu Luoxuan trembled upon hearing the news, and her face instantly turned pale.

"There's 300,000 in the card, consider it compensation for you."

Seeing her expression, her cousin smiled contemptuously, took a card from her handbag and tossed it to her: "Take the money and leave quickly, don't stay any longer and get in the way."

Zhu Luoxuan stared at the bank card, a hint of humiliation flashing in her eyes.

She felt somewhat guilty towards Chen Xiaoyi. When he came in, she lowered her head and lost her previous aggressive demeanor.

"Let's go, ignore her, seeing her just annoys us."

Her cousin lost interest in arguing with her any longer, and pulled Lin Xiyu and her brother away.

The siblings followed her lead and left the emergency room with her.

-

Zhu Luoxuan's pride wouldn't allow her to be looked down upon.

She didn't take her bank card; she simply pulled out the IV and left quietly.

Upon returning to Shanghai, he left without saying goodbye to anyone, leaving behind a resignation letter.

Chen Xiaoyi was depressed for a long time before he finally cheered himself up and devoted all his energy to his work.

After three years of hard work, he finally gained his brother-in-law's approval and officially took over Xingyao, becoming the new CEO.

Perhaps it was fate, but not long after his promotion, he encountered the person who had been out of contact since resigning.

Zhu Luoxuan made a miraculous appearance at a large celebration party held by the company.

Not as a guest, but as a hotel staff member.

Unfortunately, she was harassed again this time.

A middle-aged man who had been drinking took advantage of the moment she was serving her drinks to grope her buttocks with his greasy hands.

Zhu Luoxuan screamed and knocked over her wine glass, spilling the wine all over the person.

Fueled by alcohol, the man slapped her.

Zhu Luoxuan stumbled and fell to the ground after being hit.

The man persisted, hurling insults and trying to harass her, but was kicked to the ground from behind.

Zhu Luoxuan looked up in astonishment, and when she saw the hero who had saved her, her pupils contracted sharply, and her face instantly turned pale.

Why am I always so disheveled whenever I see you?

Chen Xiaoyi sighed helplessly. Seeing that she had twisted her ankle when she fell, he reached out and picked her up.

The guests at the banquet were very perceptive and made way for the two of them.

Without pausing, Chen Xiaoyi carried the person away from the banquet hall.

-

Hotel lobby on the first floor.

"What have you been doing all these years? You've ended up in such a miserable state."

Chen Xiaoyi found a suitable spot and put the person down.

Zhu Luoxuan was filled with shame and indignation, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

"Take this money."

Chen Xiaoyi hadn't expected her to answer. He took a bank card out of his wallet and handed it to her: "Don't work here anymore. That guy surnamed Liao is no good. If you offend him, he'll definitely come looking for trouble again."

"No"

A hint of panic flashed in Zhu Luoxuan's eyes: "Xiaoyi, oh no, President Chen, I can't take your money."

I didn't mean anything by it.

Chen Xiaoyi was very firm and shoved the money into her hand without saying a word: "This money is what you deserve. It should have been given to you three years ago. Consider it compensation for that incident."

"I made mistakes back then too."

When Zhu Luoxuan heard him mention the past, she raised her head with a complicated expression and glanced at him.

"I'm getting married. Take care of yourself. If something like this happens again, I won't take care of you anymore."

Chen Xiaoyi left the hotel lobby without a second thought.

Zhu Luoxuan watched his resolute departure, gripped her bank card tightly, and shed tears of regret.

Chen Xiaoyi wasn't lying; he genuinely wanted to get married.

There's a silly girl in the company who, ever since she found out he often works overtime and is prone to stomach aches, brings him a cup of hot soy milk to his office every noon.

Three years is enough to soften even the hardest heart.

The girl was just like his initial fantasy about his wife.

She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she was quiet and refined, with a gentle temperament; she looked like the type of woman who would be a good wife and mother.

After they get married, they can have several lively and adorable babies like Ping An and Xi Le.

Having sons and daughters, enjoying their company.

A family living in harmony and happiness—just thinking about it makes me feel so happy.

-

After the children celebrated their third birthday, it was time for them to start kindergarten.

Lin Xiyu had already made preparations to cultivate her children's independence, and was just waiting to send them to kindergarten after their birthdays.

The children were very well-behaved. On their first day of kindergarten, they carried their little backpacks and happily followed their parents out the door.

The fact that the quadruplets went to kindergarten together undoubtedly caused quite a stir. Even the TV station that heard about it sent someone to do a new interview.

The kindergarten principal was also very excited, having made the news thanks to the children.

The children are all very well-behaved. They didn't cry or fuss when they entered kindergarten, and quickly became friends with the other children, having a lot of fun.

Lin Xiyu was relieved, thinking things would continue smoothly like this. Unexpectedly, less than a month later, the children got into trouble and were called to the kindergarten by the teacher.

-

The incident started when a mischievous little boy in kindergarten, taking advantage of his size, deliberately pushed Lele while playing in the yard.

Lele's fall was quite a shock. The other three children were furious and rushed over to give the little boy a good beating.

The little boy is in the senior class, two years older than the other children. He is tall and big, and he is usually a little tyrant in kindergarten. He often bullies other children because he is strong and healthy.

This time was no different. Originally, the break times for the younger and older classes were different, so when the younger children came out to play, they wouldn't run into the older children.

Unfortunately, this little boy was an exception.

He didn't want to stay in the classroom, so he sneaked out to play and fought with the younger children to play on the slide.

The children in the small class were all queuing up obediently, but he thought the children in front of him were too slow, so he pushed several of them aside with a mix of scolding and pushing.

Lele was one of the unlucky ones.

Lele was delicate from a young age and was the apple of her family's eye.

When the younger sister cried, the older brothers and sisters got angry. But the little boy, relying on his size, didn't take the babies seriously and even made provocative remarks.

Da Bao got angry and charged over like a little bull, knocking him to the ground.

The little boy was much bigger than the other children, so he should have been able to easily take on three of them. That's how he usually is; he bullies whoever he wants. He's bullied not only the younger children but also the older ones.

However, this time, he failed. The three babies were of one mind and cooperated perfectly, making their fights much more effective.

The little boy couldn't get up from the ground after being bumped by Da Bao, and was pinned down and beaten by the three babies the whole time.

He pushed Pingping away with all his might, and Xixi rushed over again.

She pushed Xixi down, and just as she was about to get up, An'an tripped her up, causing her to fall to the ground again.

The three children brought out the essence of the martial arts taught by their father to the fullest. Driven by their love for their younger sister, they performed exceptionally well and completely overwhelmed the child who was two years older than them.

The children won, but the headmistress's face darkened.

This was the first time in their lives that Gu Bin and his wife had been called in as parents, which could be considered as "benefiting from the children's good fortune" and giving them a new life experience.

-

The four children got into a fight, and some were injured on each side.

Pingping's eye was bruised, An'an's lip was swollen, and Xixi's arm was scraped.

The little boy looked worse.

His eyes, nose, and mouth were bruised and swollen, and he also had a small abrasion on his arm that bled.

The little boy's parents had already arrived before Gu Bin and his wife.

Without asking any questions, the two men lashed out at the children and even tried to hit them. Fortunately, the principal and several teachers intervened and prevented them from succeeding.

Babies are too young to compete with adults.

After being scolded, they all lowered their heads in grievance, looking dejected and listless.

-

"Did you win?"

Gu Bin entered the principal's office, and one sentence from him made the children's eyes light up again.

"We won the battle."

The babies all nodded in unison.

"It's good that we won."

Gu Bin dotes on his son: "The rest is up to Dad and Mom."

-

The other party's parents made an exorbitant demand, requesting compensation for medical expenses.

Gu Bin's arguments were logical and well-founded, leaving the other party speechless in front of the children.

The kindergarten principal intervened and the matter was resolved with the little boy apologizing to the children.

Through this incident, the image of the father in the children's eyes became like that of a god, becoming incredibly lofty and noble.

Of course, Gu Bin didn't spoil the three little brats.

Protecting his younger sister is one thing, hitting someone is another.

Back home, the punishment should still be imposed.

The three babies were forced to memorize the Three Character Classic.

You're not allowed to go to kindergarten until you can memorize it.

"what?!"

Upon hearing that they had to recite a text, the three children let out a collective wail, then drooped their heads, listless and without any energy.

-

Children's Day for the three-and-a-half-year-olds.

The kindergarten sent out a notice that it would be holding a fashion show on Children's Day, where every child would have the opportunity to walk the runway in their own specially made outfit, and parents were invited to come to the kindergarten to watch.

Lin Xiyu was inspired by the fashion show and dug out the paper Hanfu that she hadn't finished cutting before, modified it into a baby version, and let the babies wear it to participate in the fashion show.

Babies are active and playful, and paper clothes are easily torn.

After much thought, she commissioned a pure white silk dress for each of her two daughters.

Red paper-cut lace was sewn onto the sleeves, waist, and hem of the skirt with gold thread.

The two sons were each dressed in a black T-shirt and shorts, with a sleeveless vest over it.

The fiery red and the inky black create a striking combination.

Gu Bin dotes on his wife, even inviting a TV reporter to interview her on Children's Day.

The creative idea of ​​the paper-cutting fashion show caused quite a stir as soon as it was reported.

Four adorable babies, with delicate features and resembling porcelain dolls, have once again entered the public eye in a unique way.

-

Shortly after Children's Day, people from an advertising company came to the door, inviting the children to be children's fashion models.

Gu Bin and his wife did not want the filming to disrupt the babies' normal lives, so they politely declined their offer.

Unfortunately, as soon as one group left, another one arrived.

Li Qing also personally visited the children with her son, spending a large sum of money to invite them to shoot an advertisement.

"What are you two doing here?"

Lin Xiyu was speechless at his constant attempts to get involved.

"It doesn't matter who you sign the contract with."

As soon as Li Qing entered, she put on the airs of a wealthy woman, emphasizing her rich and powerful nature: "We are the most sincere and offer the highest price. As long as you agree, name your terms. No matter how much it costs, I will consider it."

“I never intended for my child to be a costume model.”

Lin Xiyu was not easily swayed by her: "The children have to go to kindergarten, practice martial arts, memorize ancient poems, and learn children's English. Their schedules are full, and they don't have time for those trivial things."

"Auntie, please don't refuse yet."

Seeing his mother speechless, Wang Jiarui changed his strategy and started playing the family card again: "We won't take up much time. We can have the filming team come to our home to film on location. Moreover, for the younger brothers and sisters, shooting commercials is not only about earning pocket money, but also about giving them more life experience, which will benefit their future growth."

"Look at how well Gari speaks."

Lin Xiyu found it agreeable and smiled, "Unlike you, who brings up money as soon as you walk in. Do you think our family is short of money?"

“Your family doesn’t lack it, but our family does.”

Wu Meng brought her beloved daughter over for a visit, and Li Qing and her son were also there: "My Nuannuan is so big, she's definitely got the makings of a model when she grows up."

"Does Nuan Nuan want to be a model?"

Wang Jiarui was very grateful for her help and took the opportunity to coax the little boy: "If you become a model, you'll have beautiful new clothes to wear, and you can also earn money to buy yourself lots and lots of delicious snacks."

Can I buy ice cream?

It's very hot, and Nuannuan wants to eat ice cream.

"Of course!"

Wang Jiarui continued to coax, "Nuan Nuan wants to eat ice cream, and brother can buy it for you right now."

Nuannuan was moved, and looked up at her mother with her little face.

"That `s a deal."

Fearing they might change their minds, Wu Meng immediately made a decision: "We can start anytime we want to sign the contract."

Wang Jiarui: "."

There's no need to rush.

"Xi Yu, look, Mengmeng has already agreed, so don't be coy."

Li Qing's little scheme was in full swing: "How about having your baby and Nuannuan be models together for an advertisement? It would be great! The children could not only earn money, but also build a bond. It's a win-win situation, so what are you hesitating for?"
