Mr. Shen, your love-struck wife doesn't want you anymore!

Although reluctant, Shen Mo eventually followed her out the door with a look of disgust on his face, carrying the trash bag.

There was a large trash can downstairs in the apartment building. Jiang Yu took the trash bag and threw it into the trash can.

The kitchen waste was wet, and Shen Mo's hands were covered in liquid. He disgustedly tried to wipe it on his pants.

Jiang Yu called out, "Wait a minute."

She took a pack of wet wipes out of her bag, squatted down in front of him, and gently wiped his little dirty hand.

Halfway through wiping, Jiang Yu noticed the chubby boy peeking at her. She raised an eyebrow and looked over, but the chubby boy quickly looked away and gave a soft snort.

Jiang Yu said speechlessly, "Let's go."

At 7:30 p.m., night fell. Although there were streetlights in the neighborhood, the surrounding environment was still dark.

Jiang Yu suddenly felt her hand tighten.

Shen Mo held her tightly.

Jiang Yu was taken aback: "What are you doing?"

I'm afraid of the dark.

"..."

No way, young master, what's there to be afraid of in such a little darkness?

And there are many people out for a stroll at this time, adults and children alike.

Some of the bolder children even rode their bicycles recklessly.

In contrast, Shen Mo was like a frightened deer, not daring to take even a small step.

Jiang Yu was genuinely speechless. "What are you afraid of?"

Shen Mo: "Are you going to sell me off?"

Jiang Yu: "..."

She sighed and said, "No."

Shen Mo responded with an "oh".

He still seemed very nervous, and his palms were even a little sweaty. Jiang Yu quickly understood after a few moments of thought.

Tang Yun cherished Shen Mo like her own lifeblood. She was afraid he would trip and fall while walking, and she was even afraid he would choke while eating fruit.

She absolutely forbade him from going out after dark, because his vision was impaired in the dark, and she was afraid that her precious grandson Shen Mo might accidentally fall.

Having grown up like this, Shen Mo probably has never gone out at night.

Children are at an age where their imaginations run wild, and they easily start thinking about monsters and the like as soon as it gets dark.

Jiang Yu thought for a moment and said, "There's a square not far from the neighborhood. It gets really lively at night, as bright as day. We can go there and get there quickly."

Shen Mo asked, puzzled, "What's a plaza?"

Jiang Yu said, "A place where we can relax and have fun."

Shen Mo then asked, "Is there anything to eat there?"

Jiang Yu: "Yes, but I won't buy it for you."

Shen Mo pouted.

Jiang Yu felt that his hand was not holding her as tightly as before; he must have relaxed quite a bit.

It seems that diverting attention is somewhat effective.

**

Residents from the neighborhood come to this square almost every night.

The square is very large, with adults dancing and singing, children learning to roller skate, and various other entertainment activities.

This was Shen Mo's first time in such a lively place, and he was dazzled by what he saw.

Jiang Yu let go of his hand and said, "You can move around freely now, but don't run around or bully other children. Go play."

Being only a 5-year-old child, he was quickly drawn to the lively place.

Jiang Yu found a stone stool nearby and sat down.

People of all ages were in the square, especially children. Even if they didn't know each other, they could quickly find their own group.

But Jiang Yu soon discovered that Shen Mo was an exception.

He not only couldn't play with other children, but he was also timid and hesitant to talk to others.

She had just been worried that the chubby boy would bully others.

It's really strange. Neither she nor Shen Chengyan are introverted people, so how come Shen Mo is completely the opposite?

At home, he's like a little tyrant, but outside he becomes a little lamb.

She originally wanted to go over and ask him to loosen up a bit, but Shen Mo didn't ask her for help, so Jiang Yu decided to wait and see.

Instead of doing everything for him, let him explore the world on his own.

Shen Mo searched around the square and soon spotted several children who were about his age.

They squatted on the ground, huddled together playing something.

Curious, he walked over, squatted down next to the children, and asked, puzzled, "What are you playing?"

The children glanced at him but ignored him, even automatically gathering together and turning their backs to him.

Shen Mo seemed oblivious to the fact that people were ostracizing him. He squeezed through a gap and asked the little boy next to him, "Can I play with you?"

The other person said rudely, "Get out of here."

The little boy who was unfriendly to Shen Mo was clearly the leader of the group of children. He then said to the other children, "Don't play with this chubby boy."

Shen Mo got angry as soon as he heard the name "Little Fatty," but he only said timidly to the little leader, "You really have no manners."

Then he said to the other children, "Don't play with him."

Upon hearing this, the eldest brother shoved him away.

Shen Mo plopped down on the ground.

The young leader laughed heartily: "You fell flat on your face, didn't you?"

The other children also burst into laughter.

Shen Mo felt inferior after being laughed at, and subconsciously looked at Jiang Yu.

But Jiang Yu just sat there watching him, showing no intention of helping him.

Shen Mo suddenly felt dejected. He slowly sat up, clapped the pebbles in his hands, and walked dejectedly toward Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu witnessed everything that had just happened. Only after Shen Mo approached did she ask, "Don't they want to play with you?"

Shen Mo lowered his head and hummed in agreement.

Jiang Yu said, "And he even pushed you?"

Shen Mo hummed in agreement again.

Jiang Yu said, "Why didn't you push him?"

Shen Mo said I dare not.

Jiang Yu: "..."

Jiang Yu took a deep breath. "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Shen Mo shook his head and said listlessly, "I don't want to play here anymore, I want to go back."

Jiang Yu simply asked directly, "You were bullied, and you're feeling bad, so why didn't you ask me for help? Why didn't you ask me to come and help you?"

Shen Mo asked cautiously, "Will you help me?"

Jiang Yu was taken aback for a moment. After a few seconds of silence, she said, "I will."

Then she got up, took his hand, and led him to the group of children: "Don't let anyone bully you. Make him apologize to you and tell him he was wrong."

Shen Mo walked over and whispered to the gang leader, "Apologize to me. My mom said you were wrong."

The little boy saw Jiang Yu standing behind him and suddenly burst into tears, shouting, "Mommy, Mommy!"

Several adults were talking nearby. One of them, a young woman, rushed over, pulled the little boy into her arms, and checked him over carefully: "What's wrong, baby?"

The little boy pointed at Shen Mo and said, "He hit me."

The young woman's face changed, and she glared at Shen Mo: "Where are your parents? How can someone so young be so wicked? Apologize to my son right now!"

Shen Mo took a step back, and the young woman immediately reached out to grab him. "You brat, you think you can run away? If you don't apologize today, I'll call the police to arrest you and lock you up in jail."

However, before her hand could even touch Shen Mo, Jiang Yu pushed her away.
