Chapter 24 Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you.
Jiang Xinlan was completely unaware of this.
The day after Jiang Xinlan bought the Yunjingtai Riverside Villa with cash, she deposited the remaining 40 million yuan as an education fund for her two children and then began to busy herself with transferring them to different schools.
Previously, the kindergarten that Niannian and Guigui attended was just an ordinary public kindergarten. There, they were often laughed at and bullied by other children for not having a father.
We didn't have the means before, but now that we do, we naturally want to get our child into a better kindergarten.
Moreover, she's going to start filming tomorrow, and she won't feel at ease until she's settled things with her child before then.
Fortunately, the Xingguang Kindergarten, which is zoned for Yunjingtai, is a top-tier bilingual kindergarten in Jiangcheng with excellent teachers and facilities. The previous incidents of parents indulging their children in bullying Niannian and Guigui will never happen again.
Early in the morning, Shen Yu drove Jiang Xinlan and the child to the kindergarten to complete the enrollment procedures.
Niannian, wearing her new princess dress, clutched Jiang Xinlan's clothes in her little hands, looking a little timid.
"Mommy, will the other kids at my new kindergarten like me?"
"Of course I will," Jiang Xinlan said gently, kneeling down to tidy her daughter's stray hairs.
"Our Niannian is so well-behaved and cute, all the other children will definitely want to be your friend."
Gui Gui stood to the side, her little body ramrod straight, like a little adult:
"Don't be afraid, sister, I will protect you."
Shen Yu smiled and ruffled the hair of the two children, his tone gentle yet full of confidence:
"Don't worry, with Daddy here, no one will dare to bully you. If anyone misbehaves, just tell Daddy, and Daddy will take care of it."
He had already spoken to the kindergarten principal in advance. As the principal of a top-tier aristocratic kindergarten, the principal already knew Shen Yu's identity. He was someone that even Old Master Lu and Old Master Qin treated with utmost respect.
Shen Yu wanted his children to enroll in kindergarten, so the principal naturally didn't dare to neglect him. She personally accompanied him through the entire process and even arranged for the best homeroom teacher in the kindergarten.
When we sent the child into the classroom, Niannian was still a little nervous and clung to Jiang Xinlan's neck, refusing to let go.
Shen Yu squatted down and, as if by magic, took out two small jade amulets from his pocket, hanging them around the necks of the two children and hiding them inside their clothes.
"This is a good luck charm from Daddy. Wear it and you won't be afraid." Shen Yu gently rubbed his daughter's cheek.
"Dad and Mom will pick you up together after school, okay?"
These two safety buckles were crafted from warm jade he brought from the cultivation world, and they contained the simplest calming and protective array.
Not only can it help children overcome shyness and prevent nightmares, but it can also protect them from minor mishaps, ensuring they won't get hurt even if they fall or bump into something.
Sure enough, Niannian touched the warm safety buckle on her chest and instantly lost her fear. She nodded vigorously, took Guigui's hand, and followed the teacher into the classroom.
Watching the two children's figures disappear into the classroom, Jiang Xinlan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to look at Shen Yu, her tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of gratitude:
"Thank you, Shen Yu. I don't know how I would have comforted the two children if it weren't for you."
For the past six years, she has been raising her child alone. Every time the child suffered injustice due to a change of environment, she had to bear it all by herself.
Now that someone is standing by her side, arranging everything perfectly and sheltering her and her child from the storm, she feels a sense of security she has never experienced in the past six years.
"No need to thank me."
Shen Yu looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness.
"They are my children, and Xinlan, you are someone I want to protect as well. Aren't you going to join the crew tomorrow? Don't worry about it, leave everything to me."
Jiang Xinlan's cheeks flushed slightly. She avoided his burning gaze and nodded gently.
"Okay. I've already spoken to the director about the production team, and I'll be joining the crew tomorrow."
This leading role is a rare opportunity for her, and she must seize it and achieve great results.

After school in the afternoon, Shen Yu and Jiang Xinlan went to pick up their child together.
As soon as we arrived at the kindergarten gate, we saw Niannian with red eyes. She was pushed by a little boy and stumbled. The drawing paper in her hand fell to the ground and was trampled to pieces by the little boy.
Gui Gui instantly exploded, rushing forward to shield her sister behind her, glaring at the little boy:
"What are you doing! Apologize to my sister!"
The little boy's mother stood aside, not only failing to reprimand her son, but instead scoffing:
"It's just a kid playing around. Why is your child so spoiled? It's just a drawing. Why are you being so fierce?"
Jiang Xinlan's face instantly turned cold. Just as she was about to step forward, Shen Yu had already walked over first.
He first bent down to pick up the drawing paper from the ground, and then casually brushed it with his fingertips. The crushed drawing paper instantly became flat again, and even the creases disappeared.
Then he handed the drawing paper to Niannian, rubbed his daughter's head, and then turned around to look at the spoiled little boy and his mother.
He didn't get angry or curse; he just glanced at the two of them indifferently.
With just one glance, the woman instantly felt a chill run up from the soles of her feet. Originally, she thought Shen Yu was some kind of easy target because he was dressed plainly, unlike the other parents who were all covered in designer brands.
I didn't expect Shen Yu to have such a strong aura; he's clearly not an ordinary person.
Realizing she had kicked a hornet's nest, the woman was terrified.
The little boy was so frightened that he burst into tears and hid behind his mother, never daring to be arrogant again.
"First, apologize to my daughter." Shen Yu's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.
"Secondly, tell your son that if he dares to lay a finger on my child again, the consequences will be more than he can bear."
The woman trembled, no longer daring to argue, and quickly pressed her son's head down, forcing him to apologize to Niannian:
"Quick! Apologize to the little girl!"
The little boy cried and apologized, and the woman quickly smiled and apologized as well. Then she grabbed her son and ran away in a sorry state, not daring to look back.
The parents picking up their children were stunned. No one expected that this seemingly gentle and refined man would have such a strong aura.
Holding the restored drawing paper, Niannian rushed into Shen Yu's arms and said in her childish voice:
"Daddy is amazing! Thank you, Daddy!"
Gui Gui looked up at Shen Yu with her little face full of admiration: "Daddy is so amazing!"
Jiang Xinlan looked at the scene before her, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
Because of her support, Niannian became much more cheerful.
On the way home, Niannian chattered excitedly about what happened at kindergarten, saying that her teacher praised her drawings and that all the other children wanted to play with her. She was no longer the timid girl she was in the morning.
Gui Gui also said that the new kindergarten has more building blocks than the old one, and there are also dinosaur picture books, which he likes very much.
Jiang Xinlan finally felt relieved.
The next day, Jiang Xinlan packed her luggage for the film crew, said goodbye to Shen Yu, and prepared to go to the film set.
Shen Yu called her over and handed her a jade pendant, made from the same material as the children's safety buckles.
"Wear this." Shen Yu placed the jade pendant in her hand, the warmth of his fingertips passing through the pendant.
"There are many people on the film set, and this will protect you. If anyone bullies you, or if you encounter any trouble and break the jade pendant, I will come immediately."
Jiang Xinlan held the warm jade pendant, her heart feeling as if it were filled with something warm.
She looked up at Shen Yu and said earnestly, "Shen Yu, thank you."
"I told you, you don't need to thank me." Shen Yu looked at her reddened eyes and couldn't help but reach out and gently brush away the stray hairs from her forehead.
"Go and film with peace of mind. I'll take care of things at home. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you."
Jiang Xinlan's heart skipped a beat, her cheeks flushed instantly, and she quickly lowered her head, putting the jade pendant around her neck and hiding it inside her clothes.
The jade pendant pressed against her heart, warm as his temperature, giving her immense peace of mind.
