Chapter 1077 Side Story: Evening in the City (140)



Lin Zhaojiang narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

“Uncle Lin,” Huo Jingnan, a special forces soldier, also began to frown, “Pei Nian and I are at a loss. What should we do next?”

“Yes,” Pei Nian nodded. “Or perhaps we should look at it another way: maybe Song Wan isn’t a daughter of the He family?”

“She must be.” Lin Zhaojiang looked at the two of them with a firm expression. “We don’t need to change our thinking, but this test result has given me a wake-up call. Song Wan is not Duan Jinrong’s daughter, but she could be He Cangwu’s daughter.”

Huo Jingnan and Pei Nian were both taken aback.

"Uncle Lin, what have you discovered?"

"Not really," Lin Zhaojiang said in a low voice. "I just met with He Cangwu with Wanwan. Including the banquet before, this is the second time He Cangwu has seen Wanwan. I just felt that the way he looked at Wanwan was very different."

Huo Jingnan pursed his lips. "Uh... could it be the look an old lecher gives a young girl?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Pei Nian poked him hard!

Lin Zhaojiang didn't mind and smiled gently.

"You brat, you're a man yourself, how can you be so clueless? The way a man wants to get a woman's attention is different from the way He Cangwu looks at her."

Huo Jingnan scratched his head and smiled sheepishly. He was indeed quite slow on the uptake in this area.

"Alright, that's enough for today." Lin Zhaojiang thanked the two of them. "I still need to think about what to do next."

After saying goodbye to the two, Lin Zhaojiang got into the car. Song Wan had been waiting for a while, and as soon as he got in, she leaned against him and asked softly, "Who were you chatting with for so long?"

The man teased her, "Guess? Was it with another woman?"

Song Wan pouted, and Lin Zhaojiang smiled and pressed her little head against his shoulder.

“Jingnan and Niannian came to me. They wanted to use my amusement park for their anniversary.”

"oh."

"Wanwan," Lin Zhaojiang paused for a moment, then said softly, "Do you know Junyu's mother, Jiang Can?"

"Of course I know," Song Wan chuckled. "When I was in Yangcheng, Mrs. Huo helped me a lot, and I remember it all."

Lin Zhaojiang slowly began to recount Jiang Can's background.

“I heard from my sister that Sister Jiang Can’s life was very difficult before. The Jiang family, which raised her for more than 20 years, was not her real home. Her true identity was that of a lost treasure of the Yin family in Nanyang, who had been scattered overseas…”

"Yeah, I've heard about it too. It really is a dream come true!"

Lin Zhaojiang looked at her quietly, "If it were you, would you be happy?"

"Huh?" Song Wan was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "You mean suddenly becoming a princess? How could that be! That kind of thing will never happen to me."

“I mean, what if,” Lin Zhaojiang smiled gently, “For example… what if your father was He Cangwu?”

Song Wan was a little confused, but after thinking about it seriously for a while, she showed an envious expression. "That must be a very happy thing."

“I grew up without a father, so I can’t imagine what it would be like to have one,” she said softly. “But I remember when I was in school, every time it was open day and parents were invited to visit the school, that day was always very difficult for me… Everyone else had their parents performing shows, playing games, and taking pictures with them, but I was the only one sitting in the corner.”

Song Wan's voice gradually lowered, and Lin Zhaojiang hugged her with some heartache, whispering in her ear, "It will never happen again."

Song Wan didn't understand what he meant and smiled at him, "What are you talking about? There won't be any more events like this in the future!"

Lin Zhaojiang smiled but remained silent.

He will do everything he can to send her back to He Cangwu's side, so that the father and daughter can be reunited and she can know what it feels like to have a father's protection.

“There will be similar events in the future,” he chuckled. “I’m talking about our children; they will be very happy. I won’t miss any of their school activities.”

Song Wan was taken aback, "Them...?"

"Mmm." Lin Zhaojiang's hands restlessly wrapped around her waist. "Let's have more children."

Song Wan blushed, nudged him, and gestured with her eyes that there was a driver ahead.

Lin Zhaojiang didn't mind, coughed lightly, and the driver immediately lowered the partition.

"you……"

"Now, whatever we do won't have any impact, right?"

Lin Zhaojiang ran his fingers through her long hair, cupped her rosy face, and gently kissed her lips.

"No..." Song Wan stopped him from his next move, "Not here."

The man's breathing was slightly unsteady: "If not here, can't we just go somewhere else?"

Song Wan lowered her eyelids and avoided looking at him, her heart pounding fiercely.

Lin Zhaojiang looked at her intently, a slight smile playing on his lips, and then said in a low voice that brooked no argument, "Go to my place, right now!"

Song Wan blushed and let him hold her small hand.

Enough time has passed; the test for him should be nearly over...

She smiled shyly, feeling both nervous and expectant, as if she had returned to the time when she first got together with him.

However, at that moment, Xiao Liran called.

Lin Zhaojiang was at his wit's end. He wanted to take the phone and hang up on her, but Song Wan smiled, pushed his hand away, and made a "shh" gesture to him.

"Ran-jie, is something the matter?"

"Great news!" Xiao Liran exclaimed excitedly from the other end of the line. "President He has sent someone to deliver the final investment contract, and the terms are extremely favorable! I heard you two have met? You finalized all these details, right?"

"Yes!"

"Wanwan, you're practically the company's cash cow, hahaha..."

Even over the phone, Lin Zhaojiang could picture Xiao Liran's greedy, money-grubbing face, and rolled his eyes in exasperation.

“Come to the company now, let’s have a meeting and discuss it!” Xiao Liran continued, “We need to strike while the iron is hot regarding the script and finalize the outline and everything as soon as possible! You’ll be quite busy now, but don’t worry, I’ve found a few professors from the drama academy for you, they’ll help you revise the script…”

Lin Zhaojiang panicked and almost shouted out, "She doesn't have time tonight!"

Song Wan desperately covered his mouth and kept giving him meaningful glances.

"Wanwan, what's wrong?" Xiao Liran noticed something was off about his voice. "Are you alright over there? Are you alone?"

"Oh, yes!" Song Wan said awkwardly. "Sister Ran, I'm on my way, I'll be there soon!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Xiao Liran smiled. "By the way, there's something strange I need to tell you... Duan Jinrong came to see me today. We had a falling out last time, and I thought she wouldn't consider our company anymore. But she said she wants to publish the last part of her serialized work here... Could there be something fishy going on?"

Lin Zhaojiang heard this and frowned.

It has to be said that he felt the same way as Xiao Liran.
