An'an stole her fortune!

After seeing Sui Yu off, An'an happily threw herself into Shen Zhihan's arms. "Daddy, Daddy! Yu'uyu will never be bullied again, right? He has a family that loves him now, doesn't he?"

Shen Zhihan patted her head. "Yes. It's all thanks to our An'an."

With Sui Yu's matter resolved, An'an went back to kindergarten the next day.

The news of the Xia family's bankruptcy had already spread.

The children caught snippets of it by listening to the adults chat.

When Xia Kexuan arrived at school today, she didn't see Sui Yu again. Instead, she was surrounded by the other children, who all spoke at once, "Xia Kexuan, I heard your family went bankrupt! Bankruptcy means having no money. How can you still afford to come to this kindergarten if you have no money?"

"Yeah, yeah! My mom said this kindergarten is super expensive! Xia Kexuan, how can you still go to school if your family has no money?"

"Who dropped you off these past few days? I've never seen the auntie who dropped you off today before. That's not your mom!"

Children speak without filters, yet their words are the most hurtful.

If Xia Kexuan had truly been a four-year-old child, she probably would have been crying uncontrollably by now.

Just then, An'an walked into the classroom with her little backpack and greeted everyone with great energy, "Good morning, Teacher Fan."

Qu Bowen and Tian Wenhan acted like two bodyguards escorting a princess. "Morning, An'an."

"Morning, Qu Bowen! Morning, Tian Wenhan!" An'an flashed a sweet smile.

Seeing An'an triggered an extremely uncomfortable and strange feeling deep within Xia Kexuan.

She always felt that An'an's appearance was what had stolen her fortune.

Ignoring the other children's remarks, Xia Kexuan walked straight up to An'an. "An'an, you and Sui Yu are good friends. Can I ask what happened to him? Why hasn't he come to school these past few days?"

An'an replied, "Yu'uyu found his real daddy! Yu'uyu left, and he's never coming back to Wen'an Kindergarten."

Upon hearing this, Xia Kexuan felt as though a bolt of lightning had struck her from the blue.

The plot development had suffered another massive bug.

According to the original novel's plot, Sui Yu wasn't found and brought back to the Sui family in the capital until he was sixteen, eventually becoming the crown prince and sole heir of the Sui family.

Sui Yu was cold, bloodthirsty, and decisive, yet he gave all his love to that one special girl.

While Xia Kexuan hadn't transmigrated into the original female lead's body through soul transposition, she could have encountered Sui Yu earlier than that girl, healed him, and become his white moonlight and cherished love.

Damn it all!

She hadn't even established a good relationship with Sui Yu yet, nor had she become an irreplaceable presence in his heart, and he had already left?

An'an couldn't care less about what was going through Xia Kexuan's mind and happily went off to play with the other children.

During the lunch break, Xia Kexuan had things on her mind and closed her eyes to pretend she was sleeping.

Whenever she pretended to sleep, she would overhear some gossip, just like now.

Teacher Fang: "Teacher Fan, why did Sui Yu suddenly transfer schools?"

"Come to think of it, that child is pitiful. The woman who dropped him off that day—I thought she was his nanny, but it turns out she was his aunt. That woman is no good. The very first day she brought Sui Yu here to talk, she acted all weird, as if she deliberately wanted us to isolate him and look at him through biased glasses. That day, An'an rushed in and covered Sui Yu's ears. An'an really is a little angel."

"I heard that An'an was the first to notice something was wrong with that woman, and then An'an's father stepped in, tracked down the abused Sui Yu, and even helped him find his biological father."

Hearing this, Xia Kexuan finally understood what had happened.

She clenched her teeth so hard they felt like they were about to shatter, her hands balled into tight fists, eyes squeezed shut as she suppressed the urge to scream and vent.

Something had already spun out of control!

Xia Kexuan racked her brain trying to recall the plot of the book, scraping every last shred of memory she had left of it, yet she still couldn't remember any character named An'an in the story.

Xia Kexuan's gaze turned somewhat cold.

So, An'an's appearance was what had robbed her of her destiny.

Because of An'an's appearance, Shen Zhihan's fate had also changed.

And because Shen Zhihan didn't die, the Xia family went bankrupt.

With the Xia family bankrupt, she had no choice but to become the adopted daughter of the Ding family.

Furthermore, because of An'an, Sui Yu—who was supposed to stay in Haicheng until he was sixteen—was recognized and taken back by the Sui family early.

If the Sui family treated Sui Yu well, then the cold, bloodthirsty, and decisive Sui Yu from the novel would never appear again.

The capital!

She had to go to the capital.

Xia Kexuan's consciousness began to blur; she was growing sleepy again.

Fan Lina: "An'an is such a good girl, and so smart too. I really love her. If I ever get married and have kids in the future, I want to give birth to a daughter just like An'an. I wonder which direction I need to pray towards to be able to give birth to a little girl like An'an?"

An'an, An'an, it's always An'an! Xia Kexuan thought bitterly.

Unable to fight off the drowsiness any longer, Xia Kexuan drifted off to sleep.

During the afternoon activities, Xia Kexuan kept staring at An'an from time to time.

An'an felt a little creeped out by Xia Kexuan's gaze.

She glared fiercely at Xia Kexuan and demanded, "Why are you looking at me like that?!"

Gao Feifei, having forgotten the pain once her wound healed, immediately rushed to Xia Kexuan's defense. "An'an, why are you being so mean to Xuanxuan? Xuanxuan likes you and wants to be friends with you. Right, Xuanxuan?"

Xia Kexuan flashed a very warm smile. "That's right, An'an. Even Feifei is your friend now, can I join in and become your friend too?"

Without even thinking, An'an refused, "I don't like you!"

Tian Wenhan looked at An'an in surprise, then glanced at Xia Kexuan.

He trotted over to An'an and whispered what he thought was a secret plot, "Why don't you like Xia Kexuan? She can sing, she can dance, her grades are good, and her personality is nice..."

"I just don't like her, no reason needed." With that, An'an scampered away.

Tian Wenhan looked at Xia Kexuan, then looked at An'an, and ultimately chased after An'an, shouting as he ran, "An'an, wait for me! Wait for me!"

Standing in her spot, Xia Kexuan desperately wanted to march over and kick An'an flying.

But right now, she didn't dare.

She prayed intensely that Shen Zhihan wouldn't even remember she existed.

If she caused trouble and reminded Shen Zhihan that she was a member of the Xia family, what would she do if he retaliated against her?

Xia Kexuan bitterly hated her child's body right now; otherwise, had she transmigrated into the role of any adult female character, she could have effortlessly leveraged her God's-eye perspective and made a fortune!

When school let out in the afternoon, she was surprised to see Qiu Hong and Shen Zhihan arrive together to pick An'an up.

Qiu Hong seemed somewhat nervous, glancing around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she squatted down, took An'an's hand, and gently negotiated with her, "An'an, Siyu misses you a lot. Would you be willing to come with Auntie and visit Brother Siyu?"

An'an had been thinking about Yi Siyu, so she readily agreed upon hearing this. "Okay! But I have to ask Daddy first. Daddy, is it okay? Can I go visit Brother Siyu?"

Knowing An'an's kind-hearted nature, Shen Zhihan knew she wouldn't refuse.

He stroked her head and replied, "Alright, go if you want to. Just give me a call when you want to come back, and Daddy will pick you up."

"No need, Daddy is so busy and works very hard, so you don't need to run back and forth. I'll have the bodyguard uncle accompany me, and he can just bring me back later."

As An'an got into the car with Qiu Hong, Xia Kexuan quietly emerged from behind a tree, an unreadable look in her eyes. Yi Siyu? Wasn't that the missing child from the Yi family reported in the news?

Xia Kexuan wrung her brain to recall the plot of the novel.

Just then, Yi Jiayang walked over and greeted her.

A lavishly dressed woman had come to pick him up.

Yi Jiayang threw himself into the woman's arms and called out, "Mom."

Seeing that woman, something suddenly clicked in Xia Kexuan's mind.

Yi Jiayang, the illegitimate son of the Yi family and its future heir.

Yi Jiayang and Yi Siyu were half-brothers born of the same father!

Something exploded in her mind.

No wonder she had previously thought Yi Jiayang and Yi Siyu looked somewhat alike.

They were in the junior class while Yi Siyu was in the senior class, but sometimes the kindergarten organized mixed-age activities where senior class kids visited the junior class, and half of the junior class kids were sent to the senior class. This taught the older kids how to care for younger siblings while letting the younger ones experience being cared for, so that when they grew up, they would pass that kindness forward.

There had been a time when Yi Siyu was assigned to their class, and during that visit, Yi Jiayang had shown intense hostility toward him.

This was getting interesting.

It was highly likely that Yi Jiayang knew of Yi Siyu's existence, but Yi Siyu remained completely unaware.

Since someone who should have been dead had somehow appeared here, what role did An'an play in all this?

Therefore, Yi Siyu had to die!

Only with Yi Siyu dead could Yi Jiayang rise to power, and everything would return to the proper track of the novel!
