That evening, seeing it was already late, Xia Xingcheng went to the kindergarten alone to pick up Bao.

By then, many parents had gathered around the gate, waiting for their children to come out.

When the school bell rang, Xia Xingcheng could not help but look at the gate. She saw the little lad, Bao, running with his little short legs and rushing into her arms.

"Mommy, you've came to pick me up. I'm so happy." Bao said, rubbing Xia Xingcheng's collar pettishly.

Xia Xingcheng was pleased immediately. As she was about to take Bao in her arms and leave, Bao seemed to be looking at the direction behind her.

"What are you looking at, Bao?" Xia Xingcheng looked at Bao puzzled.

"Mommy, where's daddy? Is daddy here?"

Bao looked up with his confused big eyes. They were filled with hope.

Suddenly Xia Xingcheng felt sorry for Bao. She could not help but hold Bao in her arms and stroke his back repeatedly.

Xia Xingcheng thought about what she was gonna say and explained: "Bao, daddy went on a business trip. He will be back in a few days. That's why he's not here."

"Okay. When daddy comes back, he will come to pick me up, right?" Bao continued asking.

Seeing Bao looking at her full of hope, Xia Xingcheng really wanted to nod and promise Bao, to make Bao happy.

But… She couldn't. Sheng Yeting had no real relationship with them after all, he would leave eventually.

Think about that, Xia Xingcheng gradually released. She squatted down to Bao's eye level and said: "Look, Bao. Daddy is very busy, so he can't pick you up too often. But mommy promise you, no matter how busy I am, I will pick you up, ok?"

Hearing that Sheng Yeting will not come, there was disappointment in Bao's eyes. Even so he still nodded and looked at his mother firmly: "Ok, mommy, I understand. I will listen to you, I won't let you worry."

"Bao is the best!” Xia Xingcheng kissed Bao on his cheeks repeatedly and smiled happily.

She was still her son's favorite. That didn't change much despite of Sheng Yeting.

After all, Bao was still a child. He whined for a moment because of Sheng Yeting, but soon he forgot about it and asked to go home.

At this time, other children were almost gone home. Xia Xingcheng did not want to delay anymore, she took Bao's hand to leave. They had just taken a few steps, suddenly a woman rushed in front of them and bumped into Xia Xingcheng.

"Are you blind?" That woman shouted out in pain obviously. Xia Xingcheng felt disgusted uncontrollably. However, it was her fault. So she quickly apologized: "I'm sorry."

After saying that, Xia Xingcheng looked up and saw the woman's face. They were all slightly stunned after seeing each other.

Xia Xingcheng knew this woman, she was Xu Hao's sister. And by her side, it was Xia Xingyan. At this time, Xia Xingyan was standing there leisurely, waiting to see what happens next.

Xia Xingcheng pursed the center of her eyebrows suddenly. Subconsciously, she did not want to get tangled with them. After all, Bao was present. Xia Xingcheng was afraid that Bao would get hurt.

As she was about to turn around and walk away, Xu Yingying yelled at her from behind, "Hey, aren't you gonna apologize for bumping into me? How rude you are."

After hearing this, Xia Xingcheng could only turn around and said: "How many times do I have to say it? I have already apologized. You heard me."

After saying this, Xia Xingcheng's tone was already somewhat impatient. She was about to take Bao to leave, but those two people behind were still badgering with her.

"Your apology means nothing if I don't accept it. Xia Xingcheng, you are really brazen. You even brought your child out in the public. Have you no shame?"

After saying that, Xu Yingying and Xia Xingyan looked at each other. They both looked pleased with themselves.

Hearing this, Xia Xingcheng could not hold back anymore. She immediately walked to them, glanced at them coldly: "Who were you calling brazen? I take my son out, it is none of your damn business. Go mind your own!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Yingying did not pay attention to Xia Xingcheng's warning, instead, she directly looked at Bao aside.

After looking at Bao from head to toe thoroughly for a while, the contempt in Xu Yingying's eyes was more and more obvious. She snorted coldly and said: "Huh, Xingcheng, this is the child of yours, huh? How energetic he looks. He does not look like you at all. Who is his father? You still won't tell us?"

She deliberately raised her voice, and the people around started to look at Xia Xingcheng curiously.

Seeing this, Xia Xingyan was pleased. She said to Xu Yingying, "Oh, Yingying, don't talk about my sister like that. My sister did that thing back in those days, and she probably didn't know who the father is. Otherwise, she would not be living such a hard life now, don't you think?"

It sounded like that Xia Xingyan was mediating between them. But to onlookers, it sounded like that Xia Xingcheng was living an indecent life, and she had a child in result.

Seeing them making such an effort to humiliate her, Xia Xingcheng got angry immediately. She gave a cold glance at Xia Xingyan: "Haven't you learned your lesson from last time? Shall I teach you some more?"

Hearing her mentioning the last time, the hatred immediately burst out of Xia Xingyan's eyes. It looked like she was about to kill Xia Xingcheng right away.

‘Xia Xingcheng, that bitch, she should be expecting to be dead.’

Xu Yingying saw Xia Xingyan being bullied, she could not let it go. She focused on Bao directly.

"Xia Xingcheng, don't be shameless. Everyone in our circle knows that you did something despicable and then you gave birth to this child. You! You don't know where you came from. You are a bastard. You are destined to be shameful for your entire life!"

Seeing Xia Xingcheng's suddenly paled face, Xu Yingying couldn't help feeling complacent. She went on saying, "It's a shame. This little lad is so pitiful that he has such a mother like you and ends up being a bastard."

She stressed the word "bastard" heavily. The people around heard her and immediately guessed the general idea of it. They immediately turned to their children to coax them: "Don't play with him anymore, understand?"

Those children did not know exactly what happened, but they didn’t dare to disobey their parents' orders. So some of them couldn't help but step back and get far away from Bao.

Seeing this, Bao did not realize what had happened at the moment.
