Zhiwen and Zhiwu's mood soured instantly upon hearing this.
What was their uncle up to today? Didn't he always leave them be in the past? Why was he suddenly keen on taking them back with him today?
But given the man's intimidating presence, they had to nod in agreement regardless of their reluctance, hanging their heads as they followed the couple towards the fourth-grade classroom.
When Jiang Mianmian saw that both her parents had come, she hurried over and, looking up with her small face, asked eagerly, "Mom, did you find my pocket watch?"
"No, honey, Mommy turned the house upside down and didn't see the pocket watch," Su Wanyu gently stroked her little head to comfort her.
"Oh, I see," Jiang Mianmian pursed her lips, her little face looking rather downcast.
Although she had braced herself for the possibility of never finding the pocket watch again, she still felt very disappointed upon hearing her mother's response.
