To be honest, if Chen Meng’er had not taken out the jade pendant that she had brought with her today, Chen Ping and Liu Juan would have already forgotten that Chen Meng’er still had a jade pendant around her neck. This also fully proved that Chen Ping and Liu Juan did not have the slightest intention of selling the jade pendant. 

Although Chen Ping and Liu Juan did not think that Chen Meng’er was relying on this jade pendant to acknowledge her biological parents, they felt that this was the only thing that Chen Meng’er had that was related to her biological parents. 

“Meng’er, listen to your mother and take care of it. You just need to be a happy little princess. Leave the rest to your parents.” As he said that, Chen Ping put down the rice bowl in his hand. “I’m done eating. I’ll go to my brother’s house now.” 

After Chen Ping left, Liu Juan sighed as she tidied up the bowl and chopsticks. She was starting to regret her impulsive actions yesterday. If her father said a few words to her, she would say a few words. After borrowing the money, paying the tuition fees for the three children was the real business. 

Chen Meng’er was also sitting on her small stool in a low mood, flipping through the first-grade textbooks that her elder brother had given to her. 

The gloomy atmosphere at home did not affect Chen Haoxuan at all. He could not sit still after eating breakfast. He looked at his mother, Liu Juan, and then looked at his brother, Chen Haoxuan. In the end, he could not hold it in and said to his brother, “Let’s go.” 

“Why should we go? Stay at home obediently today.” Chen Haoguo was two years older than Chen Haoxuan, but he was much more sensible than Chen Haoxuan. He had felt the unusual atmosphere in the house since he was at his grandfather’s house yesterday. Moreover, he could tell from his parents’ words that it was all caused by money. 

“But we have already agreed with Buttface and the others that we will go to the back mountain to play today.” Chen Haoxuan felt wronged after being yelled at by his brother. But he still said it at the top of his voice. 

Chen Meng’er, who was sitting at the side in a daze with a book in her hand, heard her second brother, Chen Haoxuan, mention “The back mountain” when she came back to her senses. Chen Meng’er’s eyes lit up when she heard the words “back mountain”. A thought appeared in her mind. 

“How could I have forgotten this?” Chen Meng’er curled the corners of her mouth and muttered softly, 

Chen Meng’er’s voice was too soft. In addition, Chen Haoxuan was wondering if he wanted to go out and play with his big brother, Chen Haoguo, so he didn’t notice Chen Meng’er at all. 

“We have an agreement with Buttface and the others. If we don’t go, they won’t be willing to play with us next time.” Chen Haoxuan was still there, unwilling to give up. However, Chen Haoguo showed no signs of relenting. 

“Are you guys going to the back mountain? I want to go too.” Chen Meng’er lifted her delicate little face and looked at Chen Haoguo with anticipation. 

“But…” Chen Haoguo’s rejection came out smoothly when he faced Chen Haoxuan. However, when he faced his sister, he couldn’t say it out loud no matter how hard he tried. He didn’t want to see a disappointed expression on his sister’s face. 

Chen Haoxuan was also a shrewd person. When he saw the expression on Chen Haoguo’s face, he knew that once his sister made a move, this matter would have a turn for the better. He seized this opportunity and continued, “Look at Meng’er. She usually doesn’t go out and stays at home all the time. How boring is that? Could it be that Meng’er wants to go out and play now? How can you not agree?” 

Chen Haoguo looked at his sister, Chen Meng’er. After thinking for a moment, he finally nodded and agreed. “Alright, let’s go.” 

When Chen Haoxuan heard that his elder brother had agreed, he was so happy that he jumped three feet high. He shouted to Liu Juan in the room, “Mom, we’re going out to play!” 

When Liu Juan heard that they were going to take Chen Meng’er out, she put down the half-washed bowl and walked out. She warned, “You can go out to play, but Hao Guo, Little Xuan, you have to take good care of Meng’er. If you don’t take good care of Meng’er, don’t go out to play for the next few days. Stay at home.” 

“Mom, I got it. I’ll take good care of my sister,” Chen Haoguo promised. 

Liu Juan, who had received Chen Haoguo’s assurance, nodded and said with relief, “Meng’er, remember, don’t wander around. Follow your two brothers.” 

“Mom, I got it.” Chen Meng’er’s small hand was held by her eldest brother, and the other hand was held by her second brother. “Mom, don’t worry.” 

If it weren’t for Chen Haoguo holding Chen Meng’er’s other hand, Chen Haoxuan would have ignored his mother’s nagging and ran out with Chen Meng’er. 

“Aiya, mom, don’t worry. I’m here. I’ll take good care of my sister.” Chen Haoxuan patted his chest and said. 

Chen Haoxuan’s words were met with disbelief from the other three people in the room. “Alright, hurry up and go out to play. Don’t let the others wait for too long.” 

As Liu Juan gave the order, Chen Meng’er held the hands of her two brothers and walked towards the place where they had agreed to meet. 

Halfway, Chen Meng’er suddenly stopped. Chen Haoguo looked down at Chen Meng’er. “What’s wrong, Meng’er? Are you tired from walking?” Chen Haoguo acted like a big brother. 

“No, I’m not tired from walking. I’m just taking something.” As she said that, Chen Meng’er took out a clean handkerchief that was wrapping something from her small pocket. She opened it and took out a piece of candy from it. “Open your mouth.” 

Chen Haoguo knew his sister’s stubborn temper, so he obediently opened his mouth. Chen Meng’er stuffed the candy into her big brother’s mouth..
