Chapter 236: Good Job

Xie Zian nodded along, but soon remembered something else and quickly opened his phone.

He found his phone filled with push notifications about Yun Ruojin and Fu Sijue's engagement.

Thinking that, Xie Zian got goosebumps all over.

"Your dad is engaged to Yun Ruojin!?" Xie Zian stared at the entertainment headline in disbelief.

Fu Sijue really is a man who keeps big matters to himself; he didn't tell them about something so huge.

Yao Yao hurried over to look, but his gaze focused on the background.

"Why are they in a hospital?"

Yao Yao's remark snapped the dreamer awake; Xie Zian also leaned forward to look, thoughtfully nodding, "Yeah, why is your dad in a hospital? Why is he pairing up with Yun Ruojin?"

After asking that, Xie Zian felt Yao Yao's scorching stare and quickly shook his head, "You're not trying to get me to investigate your dad, are you? That won't do; your dad would hang me up and beat me!"

Thinking of his own safety, Xie Zian didn't want to take the job.

"If my dad finds out that Uncle Xie you told me so much today, he'll be even angrier," Yao Yao said, a rare bright smile spreading across his face as he waved his watch at Xie Zian.

"I recorded our whole conversation just now, Uncle Xie, so if you don't want my dad to know…"

Yao Yao was cut off when he saw Xie Zian already letting out a long howl toward the sky.

What heinous deeds did he commit in his past life to be tormented this life by Xie Zian and Yao Yao?

Thus, in his indignation, Xie Zian, for the sake of his own life, had no choice but to become Yao Yao's private detective.

"You come in and immediately make me go find your mommy? Aren't you afraid she'll tell your dad directly and our plan will fall apart?" Xie Zian looked at Yao Yao in shock.

Perhaps this is the saying that the student surpasses the master.

Yao Yao is far bolder than Fu Sijue.

Yao Yao, expressionless, nodded firmly at Xie Zian, "First take me to mommy." He's not a fool, but right now, having not bought, he's surely still angry at dad, so he certainly won't tell dad.

Just because Lu Xiwán dotes on him, Yao Yao feels fully confident.

Xie Zian, with a doubtful mindset, took Yao Yao to Lu Xiwán's house, and then witnessed an astonishing scene.

When Yao Yao saw Lu Xiwán, he burst into tears, sobbing pitifully with both voice and tears.

"Dad hasn't come home for several days; mommy, I'm really scared being alone at home!"

The key is that Lu Xiwán actually believed him, and compassionately wiped Yao Yao's tears from his face and gently poured him water.

Xie Zian's composure shattered—so this is the advantage of being young?

In contrast, Lu Xiwán hadn't noticed Xie Zian at all at first; after seeing him, he only gave a light nod and said a couple of perfunctory words of thanks.

And that was that; the ignored Xie Zian felt restless, not knowing what to do.

Seeing his difficulty, Yao Yao spoke, "Mommy, what's wrong? Why are your eyes red? Are you angry at Yao Yao? I really haven't intentionally avoided seeing you these past few days…"

Lu Xiwán was quickly won over by Yao Yao's coquettishness, leaving Xie Zian staring dumbfounded.

How did I never notice this kid had such a routine before?

But no matter how Yao Yao cooed or asked, Lu Xiwán remained tight‑lipped.
