Song Wan followed her sister's gaze and saw that the person walking over was Lin Zhaojiang.
But she didn't understand why Song Xi seemed a little scared when she saw Lin Zhaojiang, and subconsciously shielded her behind her.
"Sis, what's wrong?"
Song Xi did not answer, and her expression was not good.
Lin Zhaojiang saw her, and his expression changed slightly, but it was no longer as cold as before; instead, there seemed to be a hint of pleading in his eyes.
This surprised Song Xi.
She never expected that Lin Zhaojiang, who always had a strong personality, would have such a look in his eyes.
“Sister,” Song Wan said softly, “this is President Lin, Lin Zhaojiang, who is also a parent of one of our students.”
"Oh..." Song Xi's voice trembled slightly as she forced a smile, "Mr. Lin's child is here? Mr. Lin...is married?"
“No,” Song Wan explained, “He is the child’s maternal uncle.”
“Yes, that’s right,” Lin Zhaojiang said in a low voice. “I’ve never been married.”
He spoke each word with emphasis, and looked at Song Wan.
Song Wan didn't realize the deeper meaning behind those words, but Song Xi pulled her aside and stammered for a long time before finally saying, "Wanwan, you... be careful."
Song Wan thought she was talking about her brother-in-law.
So she reassured her sister, "Don't worry, this is an international kindergarten with excellent security. Even if your brother-in-law comes looking for me, he won't dare to do anything to me."
“I’m not just talking about your brother-in-law, but also…”
Song Xi hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
She glanced sideways at Lin Zhaojiang not far away and instinctively tightened her grip on Song Wan's hand.
She witnessed firsthand how tragic Song Wan's fate was two years ago.
Although she was timid, she still wanted to do everything in her power to protect her younger sister.
Now that her younger sister has finally forgotten the past and started a new life, how can she let Lin Zhaojiang, this devil, ruin her again?
Song Xi took a deep breath. "Wanwan, what I mean is, let's stay away from those students' parents too..."
Song Wan was taken aback, then blushed slightly. "You mean President Lin? Sis, what are you thinking! I'm getting married to Ruogu soon, how could I possibly marry someone else..."
"Okay, okay, don't get agitated! I know you're not that kind of person, but just because you don't have those kinds of thoughts doesn't mean others won't, right? It's not time to pick up the kids yet, so why is this Mr. Lin loitering around the kindergarten? Is it because of you?"
"sister!"
"I'm just worried you'll get hurt." Song Xi patted her head.
She didn't say anything more.
If we say too much, and Song Wan remembers everything from the past, it will be a curse rather than a blessing for her.
Song Wan nodded and handed the key to the rented apartment to her sister. After the two said goodbye, Song Wan turned back and found that Lin Zhaojiang had not left and was still standing at the kindergarten gate.
He smiled at her, with a hint of ingratiation.
Song Wan's heart skipped a beat. Remembering her sister's words, she rushed inside without even saying goodbye.
Lin Zhaojiang watched her retreating figure with a hint of sadness. After a while, he took out his phone and whispered, "Song Wan's sister has come to Yangcheng. Find out why she came."
“President Lin,” the subordinate said, already prepared, “we’ve already investigated. Song Xi came to Yangcheng this time to hide from her husband. Her husband’s small company in Yun City is doing poorly and he owes a lot of money, including high-interest loans…”
"Ha, it's him again." Lin Zhaojiang sneered.
He had witnessed this man's shamelessness when he was with Song Wan before.
“Mr. Lin,” the subordinate said again, “it seems that Song Xi doesn’t know about the debt. She is often abused by her husband, and I guess she came here to avoid being beaten.”
Lin Zhaojiang gave a curt reply.
He doesn't care what he hides from, but if anyone dares to cause trouble for Song Wan, he'll make that person suffer a terrible death.
"Have someone keep a close eye on her and let me know immediately if anything happens. Also, have several more people protect Wanwan."

When Song got off work and went home, it was already dark.
She walked along a narrow path with no streetlights, and every step she took seemed to echo. She was a little scared, but she gritted her teeth and kept going, because it was the closest road to her home.
However, despite her carefulness, she was still being followed.
When she first heard a noise behind her, her heart clenched. She tentatively quickened her pace, but the footsteps behind her quickened as well. She slowed down, and the person behind her slowed down as well.
Song Wan was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she shakily took out her phone from her pocket and made a voice call to Bai Ruogu.
"Hey, Ruogu, it's me..." Her voice trembled, but she had to say loudly, "Um... I'm going home right away! Could you come downstairs and meet me?"
"What?"
It was early morning on Bai Ruogu's end, and he was busy going to work, so he couldn't understand a single word she was saying.
"Ruogu," Song Wan said, forcing herself to remain calm, "what shall we eat tonight?"
Bai Ruogu looked at the screen, completely bewildered.
At this moment, he was unaware of Song Wan's situation, and he didn't know that Song Wan's words were meant to let the people following her know that there was a man in her family.
Little did they know that he was now Song Wan's only support, even though he was on the other side of the world.
Song Wan's eyes were already brimming with tears, but the person behind her didn't seem to be intimidated by her words.
She ran forward with all her might, and the man strode forward as well!
"Ruogu!" Her voice trembled with tears. "Ruogu, come downstairs and come get me!"
"What's wrong with you?" Bai Ruogu frowned, her voice clearly coming through the phone. "I'm in America, how am I supposed to pick you up? It's night there, right? Are you still half asleep?"
Song Wan hung up the voice call, roused herself, looked around, and ran while searching for something she could hold in her hand for self-defense.
But just then, she suddenly bumped into someone's arms!
"Ah!" All her psychological defenses collapsed at that moment, and fear surged over her like a flood!
"It's me!"
The moment Song Wan looked up and saw Lin Zhaojiang, she could no longer hold back her tears and threw herself into his arms.
"It's okay, I'm here."
"President Lin..."
"Don't be afraid."
Lin Zhaojiang glanced behind her, his sharp eyes flashing with cold light, and the man who had been following her fled in panic.
Lin Zhaojiang didn't chase after her. He took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, then gently embraced her.
This black coat acts like a protective shield, separating her from the darkness and giving her a sense of security.
