Everyone's gaze turned towards the source of the voice.
The teacher immediately put on a stern face.
"Cold Haocheng, young man, you must not be so rude to the new student!"
Cold Haocheng snorted, raising his eyebrows in disdain.
"Lu Xiaonan, why don't you share your cookies with everyone?"
"Okay!" Lu Xiaonan replied enthusiastically, pulling out a box of cookies from her backpack. Inside, Lu Kenian had already helped her pack them into small bags.
Lu Xiaonan distributed the bags to her classmates.
"Wow, these cookies are so beautiful!"
"They even have little animal designs! Thank you, Xiao Nan!"
Every time Lu Xiaonan received compliments, she would smile and respond cheerfully, "You're welcome!"
There was only one bag of cookies left. Lu Xiaonan approached Cold Haocheng.
"Even though you're not very friendly, I still want to give you this. These cookies are really delicious!"
Cold Haocheng immediately turned his face away, crossing his arms and acting like a little adult.
"Who cares about your cookies! My family is so wealthy! We can buy whatever kind of cookies we want!"
Lu Xiaonan thought for a moment and suddenly pointed at Cold Haocheng with a mocking smile.
"I know you’re too scared to eat my cookies! Wow, and you’re a boy too, afraid to eat my cookies! Coward!"
Cold Haocheng immediately stood up from his small stool.
"Who are you calling a coward! You’re the coward!"
"If you’re not a coward, then why won’t you even eat a cookie?"
"Who says I won’t eat it?" Cold Haocheng snatched the small bag of cookies from Lu Xiaonan's hand, roughly tore it open, and shoved two into his mouth.
They were sweet and fragrant, and the taste was actually quite good.
"Isn’t it delicious?"
"Hmph, it’s just okay!" Cold Haocheng would never admit that the cookies were tasty!
Lu Xiaonan felt disappointed and didn’t want to continue arguing with him.
On the first day of school, Lu Xiaonan had already played with many kids, but Cold Haocheng was just too difficult to deal with.
The time after school was the happiest part of the day; finally, he would get to see his mom and dad.
Lu Xiaonan followed the line, eagerly watching the door, while Cold Haocheng appeared indifferent, always seeming out of place among the children.
When he saw a familiar figure at the door, the teacher immediately took Cold Haocheng's hand and led him out of the line.
“ Mrs. Cold!” Upon seeing Chu Yun, the teacher immediately smiled brightly. Who doesn't know the power of the Cold Family? Everyone wants to curry favor.
Chu Yun stood at the door in designer clothes until the teacher brought Cold Haocheng over.
“Thank you, Teacher Li.”
Even this “thank you” was delivered with an air of arrogance. Before Teacher Li could respond, she had already taken Cold Haocheng away.
Teacher Li couldn't help but scoff, “Isn't it just because she married a rich husband? Why act so high and mighty!”
Just as Chu Yun got into the car with Cold Haocheng, a familiar figure suddenly passed by the window.
She quickly lifted her head and rolled down the window.
Lu Kenian!
It was actually Lu Kenian!
Seeing Lu Kenian made her tremble slightly.
What was this woman back for?
She had told the nurse to reveal the truth to Lu Kenian, hoping to dishearten her and drive her away.
But why had she returned?
“Lady, shall we go?” the driver urged.
"Let's go." Chu Yun immediately rolled up the car window, a hint of panic and unease showing in her eyes.
What was Lu Kenian doing back?
She pondered this question all the way home.
Cold Haocheng secretly felt relieved that she had ignored him and immediately ran upstairs upon arriving home.
Chu Yun's thoughts were still caught up in the panic of Lu Kenian's return.
"Chu Yun! Come here!" Cheng Ying's angry shout pulled Chu Yun back to reality.
She glanced at Cheng Ying's furious face and felt a sense of dread.
Could it be that she discovered her secretly contacting Cold Haocheng? Or was she going to pressure her again about having a second child?
She feigned calmness and walked over to Cheng Ying.
"Mom, what's the matter?"
No matter how low her mood was, she always maintained a smile in front of her mother-in-law, being the dutiful daughter-in-law.
Cheng Ying picked up a stack of A4 papers from the table and slapped them directly onto Chu Yun's face.
Being hit in front of so many servants was a first for Chu Yun; she endured the pain on her face but still managed to smile.
"Mom, what did I do wrong?"
"I didn't know until I went to the hospital! No wonder I've been urging you to have a second child, and you've been dragging your feet! You even had Cold Thunder come to explain it to me! Turns out you're just a hen that can't lay eggs!"
Chu Yun caught a glimpse of the A4 paper that had fallen on the ground; it was the hospital's diagnosis report.
Since her Uterus had been removed, her health had not been good, and regular check-ups were still necessary. Her medical examinations were always handled by the Cold Family's private doctor, and the Cold Thunder had also made sure that the examination results would not be disclosed to Cold Beauty.
Unexpectedly...
"When you were dating Cold Thunder, I could tell you had some tricks up your sleeve! Without a Uterus, you still dared to let my son find a surrogate to have a child, falsely claiming it was your own, just to get yourself married in!"
Chu Yun suddenly knelt before Cheng Ying.
"Mom, it's our fault. We shouldn't have kept this from you, but I really love Cold Thunder, and Cold Thunder loves me too. That's why we resorted to this plan. Mom, please forgive me!"
Chu Yun was tearful, her pitiful little face instantly covered in tears.
Cheng Ying shot her a sideways glance, crossing her legs and turning her head away.
"Bring in the family law!"
A few servants approached with feather dusters in hand.
"Lady, we're sorry."
The servants raised their feather dusters and swung them toward Chu Yun's body.
The sound of "crackling" echoed through the living room as the busy servants dared not look at her, hurriedly passing by.
Cold Thunder was not present, and without anyone to support Chu Yun, Cheng Ying naturally acted without restraint!
Chu Yun lay on the ground, trembling.
“Mom, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again. Please, don't hit me anymore! Mom, I'm sorry, really sorry. I truly love Cold Thunder. Cold Thunder and I are genuinely in love; I didn't use any tricks! I really didn't!”
Cheng Ying had always looked down on this daughter-in-law from the countryside. It was only because the Cold Family was dominant that there was no need for a marriage alliance. Moreover, with Cold Thunder insisting repeatedly and the fact that they already had children, Cheng Ying reluctantly accepted Chu Yun.
After the marriage, Chu Yun was obedient and filial, never saying a single “no” to her, so Cheng Ying accepted her.
But today, upon learning the truth—
“We of the Cold Family have actually been played by you! If this gets out, we will be utterly humiliated!”
Cheng Ying shouted in anger.
“Enough, enough! Stop hitting her!”
The servants paused.
Chu Yun knelt on the ground, gasping for breath. “Thank you... Mom.”
Though she had cursed this old woman hundreds of times in her heart, Chu Yun remained polite and did not dare to voice any complaints.
