Chapter 957 Side Story: Evening in the City (20)



As soon as Lin Zhaojiang received Song Wan's call, he rushed to the International Kindergarten.

On the way, he was a little confused. Huo Jiayuan's primary guardians were Huo Junyu and Jiang Mianmian. Even if they were too busy with work to contact him, there were still his grandparents and maternal grandparents. No matter how it was their turn, it shouldn't be his uncle's turn!

Even so, he rushed there immediately. Perhaps it was due to transference, but during this time together, he always treated Huo Jiayuan as his unborn child, and he loved her even more.

Lin Zhaojiang arrived at the kindergarten's infirmary and immediately saw little Yuan Yuan lying on the bed.

“Yuan Yuan, you…”

Huo Jiayuan glanced at him and blinked her big eyes twice.

Lin Zhaojiang frowned slightly.

The little girl had a rosy complexion and a calm expression, showing no signs of discomfort.

"Where does it hurt?" Lin Zhaojiang walked over and took her small hand.

Huo Jiayuan seized the opportunity to secretly pinch him, then smiled faintly.

However, in an instant, she put on a weak expression.

"Uncle... my stomach hurts."

"Oh..." Lin Zhaojiang understood something and was thinking about how to carry her out when Song Wan came in from outside.

"President Lin, you're here!" Song Wan held several lab reports and a box of medicine. "I just had Yuan Yuan examined, but they didn't find anything wrong... However, just to be on the safe side, the clinic prescribed some medicine for her to take temporarily. After we get home, it would be best to take her to the hospital for a more thorough examination."

"Thank you, Teacher Song." Lin Zhaojiang took it, and at that moment he completely understood that this little devil was faking illness!

However, she still had a conscience; even while feigning illness, she thought of her great-uncle, giving him another chance to see Song Wan.

Lin Zhaojiang thanked Song Wan, then picked up Huo Jiayuan and left.

As soon as they stepped out of the kindergarten gate, Huo Jiayuan kicked her little feet and jumped off Lin Zhaojiang.

"Uncle, aren't I amazing!" The little girl raised her face, extremely proud.

Lin Zhaojiang glanced at her and smiled slightly.

"Skipping school at such a young age? And faking illness! I'm going to tell your parents and have them spank you!"

"Hmph!" Huo Jiayuan crossed her arms. "I let you see Teacher Song today, and instead of thanking me, you want to spank me!"

"What?" Lin Zhaojiang narrowed his eyes, hands on his hips. "What, you pretended to be sick just so I could see your teacher, Ms. Song? You're that kind of person?"

Huo Jiayuan smiled like a little fox.

"Alright then." Lin Zhaojiang squatted down in front of her. "Tell me, how should I thank you?"

"I haven't decided yet... Anyway, you have to thank me!"

"I've already built you an amusement park, how else do you want me to thank you?"

"I have a secret!"

"How about..." Lin Zhaojiang rolled his eyes like a cunning old fox, "I'll treat you to pizza?"

Huo Jiayuan clapped her hands and cheered with joy.

The Huo family has strict control over diet, and the food they give the little girl is mainly light. High-calorie foods such as pizza and ice cream rarely appear on her table.

However, during this time, Lin Zhaojiang took her to eat all kinds of high-calorie foods, satisfying her cravings to the fullest.

Before long, the old fox brought the little fox to a pizzeria. All kinds of pizzas were laid out on the table. The little fox ate with its mouth full of cheese, its cheeks puffed out, and it smiled contentedly.

"Uncle, let me tell you something..." she whispered, "I noticed that Teacher Song didn't look well today. It's probably because the food you sent wasn't fresh, and she got diarrhea after eating it!"

"What?" Lin Zhaojiang felt like he had been tricked by this little girl once again!

“Uncle, there’s more!” Huo Jiayuan added, “Teacher Song received a phone call, something about… thirty million! She probably wants thirty million!”

Lin Zhaojiang's eyes widened in surprise.

This is indeed valuable information.

"Yuan Yuan," Lin Zhaojiang handed her a drink and sat down next to her, "Why don't you talk to your great-uncle about why you need 30 million?"

"Hmm..." Huo Jiayuan was enjoying her meal, pouting as she carefully recalled the details. "Back then, I asked her to come to class, and I saw her making a phone call outside... and then, then I heard her say 30 million. Uncle, is 30 million a lot? Why did Teacher Song's face turn white after saying 30 million?"

Lin Zhaojiang looked solemn.

After sending Huo Jiayuan back, he ordered his men to investigate the matter secretly, and they soon had results.

"Mr. Lin, this money was owed by Ms. Song's brother-in-law, Wu Qiang."

"Wu Qiang?"

Lin Zhaojiang remembered; it was Song Wan's small business owner, who did business in a carefree manner, didn't earn much money, and had quite a temper.

Furthermore, he had previously harassed Song Wan.

Lin Zhaojiang clenched his fists, and the veins on his arms bulged out.

"Yes, it's Wu Qiang." The subordinate cautiously observed his expression. "Wu Qiang's company went bankrupt, so he went gambling again, lost, got set up, and borrowed money from loan sharks..."

"And the note he signed and fingerprinted when he borrowed money at high interest rates said... Miss Song as collateral."

"That bastard!" Lin Zhaojiang roared.

His aura was chilling, and several of his men couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Lin Zhaojiang suddenly remembered the person who had followed Song Wan in the dark alley...

Could it be Wu Qiang's creditor?

He was jolted awake and immediately drove towards Song Wan's house!
