Hearing Uncle Li's voice, Shen Yan sat upright in her seat, finally stopping to lean against the car window and look outside. She nodded and said, "Yes."

After receiving a definite answer, Uncle Li's mouth curved upwards. It's great; their young miss finally has a female friend.

Returning to the Shen family, Shen Yan Zan's eyes immediately landed on Shen Mu, who was standing at the entrance. She searched for a familiar feeling and called out, "Mom," in the tone that the original host was accustomed to.

"Zanzan, what are you holding in your hands? Didn't I tell you not to pick up these small animals outside? What if they're not clean? What if you have an allergic reaction?"

Shen's mother was about to come forward when she noticed the rabbit in Shen Yanzhan's arms. Her brows furrowed instantly, and she began to chide Shen Yanzhan.

As a small green tea plant that emerged from somewhere unknown and was fortunate enough to be planted in a flower pot by Ming Shao, Shen Yan Zan has never experienced the feeling of maternal love. However, at this moment, being scolded by Shen's mother and held by the ear, he strangely didn't feel annoyed; instead, he felt a bit of familiarity.

Although Shen Yanzan didn't particularly like this dog rabbit, she was also well aware that she couldn't be apart from it in the human world. So she forced a smile and said, "I saw it at the pet store while out shopping and thought it was cute, so I bought it."

Upon hearing that it was not picked up from a remote corner, Madam Shen's expression finally eased a little. She continued, "Zan Zan, you must remember that you are a refined lady. Such mixed-breed pets that cannot be taken out should not be kept, understood?"

"Bastard, who the hell are you calling a mix? I am noble and ruthless!"

As soon as Madam Shen finished speaking, Shen Yanzhan heard the distinctive voice of Dog Rabbit, which belonged solely to him, echoing in his mind. It was rare to see Dog Rabbit being so defeated, and Shen Yanzhan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

If the original owner were to hear the words "elegant and virtuous lady," she would most likely jump out to argue back. But this time Shen Yanzan did not. Shen's mother naturally noticed this small change and continued, "If you really want a pet, Mom will take you to buy a good one tomorrow. Return this one quickly, understand?"

It was impossible to send her back. In the future, she might still have to rely on this dog bunny. Shen Yanzhan thought to herself.

Shen Yanzhi hadn't figured out how to respond to Shen's mother yet when Li Hui returned coincidentally. Seeing that Shen's mother seemed to be lecturing Shen Yanzhi again, Uncle Li hurriedly said, "Madam, Miss is out shopping on Fan'an Street with a little girl today."

Little girl? After hearing what Uncle Li said, Mrs. Shen suddenly perked up and forgot about the topic of rabbits. She eagerly asked, "What kind of little girl?"

"It should be the Miss's classmate, wearing a school uniform, clean and tidy," Uncle Li said.

Wearing a school uniform? Then he can't be a typical ruffian! Shen Mu felt her heart skip a beat and quickly grabbed Shen Yanzan's sleeve, saying, "Yanzi, have you made friends at school? Which girl? Is she from our circle?"

Listening to Mrs. Shen's rapid-fire questions, Shen Yanzi was a bit stunned. Mrs. Shen's enthusiasm surpassed her expectations. Perhaps this would be the extent of the questions Mrs. Shen could ask when Yanzi brought home a potential partner in the future? But it was actually good to be asked this way, considering Yanzi's whole focus was on trying to win over Liang Zhaowan.

"Made a friend, surname Liang, not from our circle," Shen Yanzi said.

The aristocratic families in City H are divided into three social classes: upper, middle, and lower. The Shen family belongs to the middle class, and the circle that Shen's mother refers to is the group of wives and daughters from families similar to theirs. The Liang family, on the other hand, belongs to the upper class and should not be included in the circle defined by Shen's mother. Shen Yanzhan pondered over this.
