Three Little Troublemakers Turned the World Upside Down After My Divorce

Chapter 24: Mommy, Were You Hit?_1

"CoCo, Xiaoxiao, it's time to rest. I'll take you to kindergarten the day after tomorrow," Shen Ning suggested with a smile, thinking that perhaps the children weren't in a good mood being at home.

"Do we get to go to kindergarten?" Ding Ding raised his head, showing interest. "Which kindergarten is it?"

He currently attended the Blue Whale Noble Kindergarten.

But he didn't enjoy it there at all!

"It's Blue Sky Kindergarten," Shen Ning replied, smiling. It was clear that her son was excited about going to school.

Ding Ding's eyes lit up. Blue Sky Kindergarten was his favorite. Not bad!

"Mummy, what happened to your face?" Suddenly, Xiaoxiao's tender little fingers touched Shen Ning's face, and she exclaimed in surprise.

There were five finger marks on Mummy's face, as if she had been slapped.

Xiaoxiao's large almond-shaped eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Shen Ning was taken aback.

For the past two nights, she had deliberately returned home late, afraid that the children would notice. She couldn't even recall the countless hardships and struggles she had faced as a single mother with two children in the United States. Every time, these two little ones would worry about her. Over time, they had become highly sensitive, and she had to bear the misfortunes alone, shielding them from the harsh realities.

She thought that her facial injury had healed today, and everything was fine, but the observant Xiaoxiao had still noticed it.

"Mummy, did someone hurt you?" Xiaoxiao sniffled, her voice tinged with sadness.

Shen Ning immediately turned her face away.

"Xiaoxiao, nothing happened. Mummy is strong, and no one would dare to hurt Mummy," she reassured, mustering a smile. She lifted Xiaoxiao into her arms and planted a kiss on her little cheek.

"No, Mummy, you're lying to me." Xiaoxiao turned around, determined to touch Mummy's face and see for herself.

Shen Ning had to explain, "Why would Mummy lie to you? Yesterday, I had a slight allergic reaction after eating shrimp, but it's already gone now."

"I see." A hint of doubt flickered in Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes as she nodded obediently, trying to understand. "Mummy, if anyone dares to bully you, Coco and I won't let them get away with it."

"Thank you, Xiaoxiao, Coco." Shen Ning's heart warmed. "Alright, it's getting late. Mummy still has to work overtime. You two should go to sleep."

She led Coco and Xiaoxiao to the shower. After a while, the children finished bathing and went to their bedroom to sleep on their own.

Shen Ning retreated to the study and immersed herself in formulating perfume recipes throughout the night.

Li Zhenting wanted her to prove the success of the perfume. Not only did she have to recreate her mother's original formula, but she also had to develop several new variations based on it, aiming for a resounding success.

She picked up the black file bag given to her by her grandmother from the desk and retrieved her mother's perfume formula.

Suddenly...

A card slipped out and fell onto the table.

She was momentarily stunned.

Quickly, she picked it up and examined it.

It was a VIP bank card from Guibin Bank.

Her name was written on it.

She froze for a moment, then searched through the black bag.

Sure enough...

She soon found a note.

As she read it, tears welled up in her eyes.

The note was a message left by her grandmother, Jun Meizhen:

"Ningning, this will be Grandma is able to help you. I've left my savings for you, all stored on the bank card. Though it's only ten million, I hope it can provide some relief during your time of need.

I hope you can take good care of the two children and find a man who loves you, so you can lead a joyful and fulfilled life.

The password is your mother's birthday. I hope you can elevate Guqi Perfume Shop to new heights as soon as possible and seek justice for your mother.

Keep going, Grandma believes in you."
