at Zhuo Yuan Technology, several other law firms had already been there. Zhuo Yuan's legal department was holding a meeting with everyone present. Director Xiao led Zhou Ming and Shu Tinglan into the...Don't let his stingy act fool you, he's absolutely someone who values quality. He's willing to spend a lot of money for it, and Shu Tinglan believes her service is worth the commission.

On her way to pick up her little ancestor, she modified the agency contract on her phone while waiting for the red light, then sent it to Yi Muyang. She was incredibly efficient at getting things done.

Yi Muyang also quickly returned a gesture.

"Come to the hospital tomorrow to sign the contract."

Shu Tinglan replied the same, "See you tomorrow." Then he tossed his phone back into his bag.

Today, she arrived at kindergarten a little earlier. After waiting for ten minutes or so, teachers started bringing out the children one by one. Her two little ones were quickly escorted out by a teacher each. Among the group of little kids, the two children stood out in appearance. Of course, it could also be that she, as a mother, has a filter that makes her think her children are the cutest in the whole kindergarten. They are fair-skinned, lively and mischievous, full of energy and spirit.

Two little kids' eyes lit up when they saw her. They gave her sweet smiles and then ran into her arms, letting go of their teacher's hands. She took one by each hand, said goodbye to the teacher, and walked towards the car.

As soon as they got on the bus, the two kids started vying to tell her all about their day at kindergarten, making a real racket.

Shu Xiaohua's words startled everyone: "Mommy, what does divorce mean"

She tightened her grip on the steering wheel and frowned.

“Why do you ask”

Shu Xiaohua: "Because my best friend Huahua said her mother is going to divorce her father, and her mother asked her if she wants to live with her dad or her mom"

Shu Tinglan's brows furrowed even deeper. Do kindergarteners already start encountering these kinds of problems

"Mommy, you said, what is divorce" Shu Xiaohe continued to ask.

Shu Tinglan thought for a moment and answered honestly: "It's just that my parents no longer love each other and don't want to live together anymore. So they signed a contract, and after that, they can move apart and each find a better way of life."

Children often asked her adult questions, and she rarely answered them in the way other mothers did, with fairy tales. She always communicated with the two children in an adult manner. This might also be the reason why the two children were more mature in their language expression than children of the same age.

Shu Xiaohe seemed to understand but not fully, patting her chest with a small hand and saying: "It's good that our father went to heaven. Xiao Nian and I don't have to choose between him and Mom." She worried about her good friend Huahua facing this problem.

Brother Shu Xiaonian glanced at his mother and said, “I want to be with Mom forever.” To him, this wasn't a problem at all; of course he wanted to be with his mother forever.

Shu Xiaohua hated when Shu Xiaonian always said those things to please their mother. She had learned a new word at kindergarten...

"Suck up!" He said, then made a silly face at Shu Xiaonian and stuck out his tongue.

Shu Xiaonian sat upright and did not get angry because of her younger sister's words.

“Shu Xiaohua, don't swear, Mommy doesn't like it.” Shu Tinglan reminded in a slightly stern voice.

"Oh." Shu Xiaohua mumbled dejectedly, her head bowed.

Shu Xiaohua has a quick temper, coming and going as fast as it does. As soon as she arrived home, she immediately regained her energy and vitality, reporting to:

"Mom, my brother and I both ate a lot at kindergarten today."

What it really means is, mom, please don't cook for us again after you get home.

"Where's big brother Has big brother eaten his fill"

Shu Xiaonian nodded. "I'm full, Mom should eat well at home too." She not only answered her mother's question seriously but also reminded her mother to take care of herself.

Shuting's heart warms up, her little warm man, he's always thinking of his mom.

Since both kids had already eaten, she didn't feel like cooking dinner at home. She grabbed a carton of milk and a piece of bread from the fridge and called it a meal.

After they finished eating, I took out the small speaker that Teacher Sun had given to our host's wife and placed it in front of them. Because of her own reasons, there were almost no smart products in their home, not even a television or tablet. When the children got home, they would either play with toys or read books. So when Shu Tinglan put the speaker in front of them, the two children were incredibly curious.

Shu Xiaonian discovered the speaker's functions first. It could chat, take pictures, and make videos. It also used facial and voice recognition to automatically analyze their ages and genders.

Shu Xiaonian had never used a smart product before, but she intuitively and quickly mastered all of the product's functions, even faster than Shu Tinglan reading the manual. It was almost as if she were a genius.

While Shu Xiaohua was engrossed in the joy of taking pictures and playing music through the speaker, she also quickly mastered how to control the little speaker.

Shu Tinglan hadn't finished reading the instructions for the children's Bluetooth speaker, but the two kids were already having a blast playing with it. Shu Tinglan quietly retreated to the side and began cleaning, knowing she shouldn't deprive the children of access to electronic devices because of her own concerns. Playing appropriately was still necessary.

After tidying up and bathing the two children, lulling them to sleep, it was already 10 pm. She felt both tired and sleepy. These past few years, she seemed to have gotten used to this rhythm. After the children fell asleep at night, she would take a short nap herself, then get up to handle work. She almost always went to bed in the middle of the night.

Just as she was about to get back to work, her phone rang. It was her assistant, Xiao Xin.

"Mr. Shu, I've memorized the Civil Code! I can recite it to you now," Xiao Xin excitedly said from behind his computer.

Shu Tinglan only then remembered that she had sent Xiaoxin back to the law firm to memorize the Civil Code at noon. She had forgotten all about it, but unexpectedly, this girl was as stubborn as ever and had actually been memorizing it at the law firm the whole time.

But since the other party was so serious, she felt embarrassed to say that she had forgotten. So she just pulled out a few questions at random.

“Chapter 7, Article 174”

"Chapter Seven is about agency, and Article 174 deals with exceptions to the termination of agency agreements...."

"Chapter Nine, Article 199"

"Chapter Nine is about the statute of limitations, Article 199 concerns the exception period..."

Unexpectedly, Xiaoxin answered all the random questions she asked fluently. Her memory is incredible.

"Alright, that's all. Head home early."

“Mr. Shu, don’t you have a few more questions” Xiaoxin, typical of someone who doesn’t know when to stop, was quite smug. In reality, it wasn’t that her memory was amazing, but she had joined a newbie lawyer group before. The group memorized and recited the Civil Code every day, so by today, she had almost memorized it all. Now, she couldn't help but show off in front of Lawyer Shu.

As a result, she deeply realized what it meant to "speak before thinking."

Only the cool voice of lawyer Shu on the phone could be heard, saying,

"Please come to the law firm an hour earlier tomorrow morning."though she joined two years later than them, she is indeed stronger in terms of work ability and professional qualities.Zhang Jing and Zhao Miaogé, realizing they were in the wrong, returned to their...
