Before they could even finish arguing, that Mr. Zhang suddenly shouted, "Don't leave yet!"
Chen Zikang thought he was annoyed that Li Wan was being too slow, so he glared at her fiercely.
She leaned forward again and said to Master Zhang in a humble tone, "Master Zhang, my wife has some things to arrange, she'll be leaving soon, she'll be leaving soon."
Because of Zhang Ye's shout, the people who had already gotten on the bus all got off again.
"Old Zhang, what's wrong with you now? What are you waiting for?"
Ignoring them, Master Zhang looked at Chen Zikang and Li Wan, who had rushed over, and pointed at Huihui, asking, "Who is she?"
“This is my daughter, Huihui,” Chen Zikang quickly introduced. “Huihui, quickly greet Uncle Zhang.”
Huihui was still young. When she saw someone yelling at her father, she pouted, but still obediently called out, "Uncle Zhang."
Master Zhang glanced at her and said, "The daughter you brought back is not her."
"Yes...yes, is it her?" A bad feeling rose in Chen Zikang's heart.
Sure enough, "Where is that child? Where is she?"
Zhang Ye's eyes widened, looking particularly fierce, and Chen Pu, who had been following Li Wan, hid behind his mother.
Chen Zikang smiled somewhat awkwardly, "I was in a bit of a hurry just now, and she's behind me."
The people who had just gotten off the car also changed their expressions.
Chairman Lin gave Chen Zikang a disdainful look. Was he brainless? Didn't he realize that these people might be there to pick him up?
"Wasn't there a girl next to you just now? She's only ten years old, and you just left her to walk by herself without paying attention to her."
He needed to make some things clear before he let Old Zhang cling to him, thinking they had left in a hurry and lost the child. He had seen it clearly just now; there was clearly only a girl with him.
While they were talking, the bodyguards who had been with them had already gone out to search.
"Keep an eye out, the one wearing a gold ring on her finger is your young lady. Don't be blind, or you'll lose her again."
Old Zhang roared angrily from behind. His last words, spoken through gritted teeth, were particularly harsh, and everyone knew who he was cursing.
Chen Zikang got out of the car, swallowed hard, and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Huihui, being sensible, also got out of the car and stood beside him, holding his hand. "Daddy, that uncle is really mean, he has no manners at all. He was shouting and yelling..."
Before she could finish speaking, Chen Zikang slapped her across the face.
The girl's voice was clear and melodious, and all the big shots heard it. What could have been a matter of a child's innocent remark turned into a cold exchange between them, with no one saying a word.
Chen Zikang slapped Huihui several more times after taking office. The little girl had never suffered such humiliation, especially from her beloved father.
She was stunned for a long time before she finally burst into tears.
When Xu Keke walked over unhurriedly with the porters and her several boxes of things.
Huihui stood in front of the car, crying so hard she was almost out of breath.
Upon seeing Xu Keke, Chen Zikang rushed over, "Huihui, where have you been? Daddy was so worried!"
Xu Keke subconsciously looked up at the sky; the sun was still in the east. She had thought it rose in the west today.
Li Wan also left her son and went over, "Huihui, why are you so slow? What are you doing behind me?"
"What can she do?" Xu Keke looked at the woman in front of her, puzzled.
"I didn't do anything. I saw the four of you walking forward, so I followed. I figured you'd eventually reach the parking area, so I had the porter bring me here."
Xu Keke wasn't in a hurry because her luggage was still there. Even if Chen Zikang didn't want her, he would still want his luggage. It contained gifts he'd bought for his beloved daughter.
Besides, Li Shi had said that the Chen family would send at least two cars to pick them up. There would also be a car specifically for carrying luggage.
The porters frequently travel to the dock, and they are the first to board the boat as soon as it docks.
They all know the ropes here. Just tell them whose luggage it is, and they'll bring it to the car themselves. Then you just pay them.
The reason they explained it so clearly was because they had prepared several suitcases for Xu Keke. She found it troublesome and didn't want to bring them. Li Shicai explained it to her in detail.
So she thought that since the other family of four was crammed into one car, she shouldn't go along and join in the fun.
Surprisingly, this family had a conscience and knew to wait for them here.
Who are these people behind Chen Zikang? Judging from their demeanor, they are no ordinary people, especially with several tall, burly bodyguards standing beside them, all carrying guns.
Looking at Huihui again, he wondered if she had gotten into trouble. Knowing her father's character, he was probably planning to use him as a shield for his precious daughter. Otherwise, he wouldn't be waiting for him here.
Xu Keke hadn't figured it out yet when Master Zhang strode over. "You're that brat Long Xiao's goddaughter."
After hearing this, Xu Keke understood.
She quickly straightened her clothes, adjusted her posture, and adopted the mannerisms of a martial arts practitioner, clasping her hands in a fist and palm salute.
"You must be Uncle Zhang. My godfather mentioned you to me. He originally told me to go to your house to see you as soon as I arrived, but I didn't expect to meet you here. My godfather said that I should kowtow to you as soon as I see you."
Xu Keke immediately knelt down, regardless of the fact that the ground was still covered in gravel.
Master Zhang was a step too slow and couldn't stop her. Xu Keke kowtowed properly.
This kowtow wasn't just because Master Long made her kowtow. It was also because the person in front of her was a famous figure from history books.
When foreign powers invaded and captured the city, he led the resistance. Besides donating money and supplies, he deliberately shut down factories and shops, refusing to sell anything to foreigners. He also organized civilian forces to sabotage the enemy in various places.
