<h4>Chapter 941: I Am Xi Xi’s Mother</h4>


    The children were led out in orderly rows promptly at 5 PM and Xi Xi wasst in line. She was the tallest in ss, taller than the boys in ss, so she liked standing at the back. She was already used to standing at the very end of the line.


    Xi Xi carried a small yellow backpack and her robot in her hands. She walked very slowly and there was a gap of about seven or eight meters between her and the student in front of her. If it weren’t for her teacher turning back to yell at her to hurry, she would have already been separated from the rest of her ss.


    She would carry this robot wherever she went. This was her best friend; her only friend Du Du.


    Xi Xi slowly walked up to the school gates and stared intently at the floor as though she was thinking about something.


    Suddenly, a small boy appeared in front of her. This boy was from the ss next to hers.


    His name was Cheng Cheng and he was very handsome with eyes that looked like ck stones. He was the most handsome boy at school and had many admirers.


    “Ye Zixi,” the young boy called her name and smiled adorably as he held out the blue box in his hand.


    ‘This is for you,” he said.


    Xi Xi frowned and looked up haughtily but she did not ept his gift.


    “I’m not interested!” she said coldly and there was no trace of excitement or happiness in her eyes. Since she started attending this school, there were many children who would randomlye up to her to offer her tiny gifts such as toys, choctes, biscuits, and dolls. Someone had once presented her with an exquisite bracelet.


    She rejected them all.


    “Take it. I spent a lot of time making it,” the boy said as he held out his present and smiled at her. His smile was both innocent and adorable.


    “What is that?” Xi Xi said with a frown. She still showed no interest in epting his present.


    She had nothing to give him in return, so why should she ept his gift?


    The boy ced the box on the floor beside her when he saw that she didn’t show any signs of epting his present before he quickly darted back to join his ss.


    Xi Xi froze in shock and stared at the box on the floor for a long while before she finally picked it up.


    Oh well, she could always throw it away if she didn’t like his gift. In any case, she was not the kind of person to present someone else with a gift.


    She opened up her bag and stuffed the small box into her bag.


    The parents waiting outside picked up their children one at a time.


    He Xiyan looked all over for her daughter but she did not spot her among the crowd.


    After many children had left with their parents, she finally spotted her daughter standing at the back of the line.


    Xi Xi was bent over and her head was bowed but He Xiyan couldn’t tell what she was doing.


    “Xi Xi...” He Xiyan cried out and waved excitedly at her daughter.


    Xi Xi did not move forward as though she had not heard her. Then, Xi Xi’s teacher walked over and frowned when she saw He Xiyan.


    “You are...” the teacher asked. She had heard this woman calling Xi Xi’s name earlier but she knew that Xi Xi had always been picked up from school by Miss Qin who said that she was a maid under the Ye family’s employ. This woman waspletely unfamiliar to her.


    “Hello, I’m Xi Xi’s mother,” He Xiyan said as she introduced herself with a smile. She knew that this teacher didn’t recognize her because it was her first time picking her daughter up from school.


    “Mother?” the teacher repeated with a frown and a look of shock crossed her eyes. Wasn’t Ye Zixi’s mother deceased? Was this woman her step-mother?
