Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 249 - 242: Wu Jingjing

The appearance of Wu Chengzu made Wang Hai vigilant, his sharp eyes scanning over him without any concealment.

Wu Chengzu glanced at Wang Hai standing behind Bai Yiran, smiling as usual as he said to Bai Yiran, "Why are you here? Did something happen? Do you need any help?"

Bai Yiran shook her head, smiling politely yet somewhat distantly, "No, it’s already been resolved."

"Hmm." Wu Chengzu nodded.

"Madam, shall we go?" Wang Hai said in a deep voice.

Wu Chengzu once again focused his gaze on Wang Hai, his expression inscrutable and enigmatic.

Bai Yiran didn’t notice the exchange of looks between the two men, and smiled faintly at Wu Chengzu, "Then I’ll be leaving now."

"Alright, see you next time." Wu Chengzu didn’t say much more, very gentlemanly making way for Bai Yiran.

Both parties nodded and walked away in opposite directions.

Wu Chengzu walked into the police station with an intriguing smile on his face.

Madam?

It seems they have remarried!

"Have someone check why Bai Yiran came here just now?" Wu Chengzu instructed the person behind him as he walked.

"Okay."

Upon hearing his subordinate’s response, Wu Chengzu set his eyes forward, and his previously smiling face suddenly turned dark, "Where is that girl?"

Upon hearing Wu Chengzu’s question, his subordinate hurriedly stepped forward to lead him, "This way!"

In another room at the police station, Wu Jingjing sat dejectedly on a chair, while her aunt Li Lan kept complaining non-stop beside her.

"You troublesome girl! All you do is cause me trouble! You’re just a jinx, born without a mother to raise you!"

Upon hearing Li Lan mention her mother, Wu Jingjing immediately glared back.

"You’re glaring at me!" Li Lan poked Wu Jingjing with her sharp fingernail, "I’m telling you, if it weren’t for the money your dad gives, I wouldn’t bother taking care of a motherless child like you! A troublemaker!"

"Enough!" The officer, unable to listen any longer, interjected. How could an adult speak this way to a girl not even fourteen?

Hearing the officer’s rebuke, Li Lan reluctantly closed her mouth.

"When will the child’s father arrive?" the officer asked.

"I’ve already informed him, he should be here shortly." Li Lan answered honestly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Jingjing immediately responded like a hen with ruffled feathers, sharply yelling, "Who told you to inform him!"

Li Lan, upon hearing this, also shouted, "You’ve ended up in the police station, who else should I notify if not him!"

Amid the shouting, Wu Chengzu had already walked in. His arrival made the already cramped space feel even more oppressive and tense.

Wu Jingjing, who was just like an angry hen moments ago, turned into a furious little quail upon seeing Wu Chengzu. Her eyes, similar to his, glared at him with resentment but no longer retained the arrogance from before.

"What’s going on?" Wu Chengzu’s voice was low and serious, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Upon seeing Wu Chengzu, Li Lan immediately put on a different face, fawning, feeling wronged, pitiful...

"Brother-in-law, thank goodness you’re here... I have no solutions for dealing with Jingjing!"

Wu Chengzu glanced at Li Lan without responding, then turned to the officer, "Hello, I’m Wu Jingjing’s father."

"You’re her father?" The officer looked Wu Chengzu up and down, he seemed like a refined gentleman, yet he has such a daughter? "Your daughter was caught stealing in the supermarket. When discovered by the store owner, instead of apologizing, she injured the owner, who is now in the hospital getting treated."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengzu’s handsome face turned gloomy, and his sharp eyes fell on Wu Jingjing.

Wu Jingjing shivered slightly, feeling a little scared, yet still managed to lift her head and meet Wu Chengzu’s gaze. The determination in her eyes made Wu Chengzu pause, and he subsequently looked away.

With Wu Chengzu’s coordination, the matter was quickly resolved amicably. Considering Wu Jingjing was not yet fourteen, the police did not want to give her any criminal record. After a stern reprimand and education, she left with Wu Chengzu.

Wu Chengzu walked ahead with large strides, the atmosphere around him very tense. Li Lan and Wu Jingjing carefully followed behind, until they reached outside the police station, where Wu Chengzu finally stopped.

"Why did you do that! Isn’t the money I give you enough?" Wu Chengzu looked at Wu Jingjing sternly.

"I..." Wu Jingjing raised her head to say something, but Li Lan beside her coughed as if unintentionally, making Wu Jingjing swallow her words, "None of your business!"

"If I weren’t your father, you think I’d care?" Wu Chengzu fumed.

"Then don’t meddle! I truly wish you weren’t my father!" Wu Jingjing, eyes red, ran off.

"Jingjing!" Li Lan called out from behind.

"You don’t mind her!" Wu Chengzu shouted.

Li Lan shrank her neck, in fact, she was still somewhat afraid of her brother-in-law, but for the sake of benefit, she put on a face of grievance and said, "Brother-in-law, it’s my fault. I didn’t take good care of Jingjing, letting her do such a thing... You entrusted Jingjing to me with your trust, and I failed you and my deceased sister..."

Wu Chengzu, feeling irritated by Li Lan’s cries, still responded politely, "Don’t say that, thank you for helping take care of the girl all these years." With those words, Wu Chengzu took out two stacks of money, placing them in Li Lan’s hands, "In the future, I’ll have to trouble you to look after Jingjing."

Li Lan, having received the money, put on a magnanimous appearance, agreeing to Wu Chengzu that she would surely take good care of Wu Jingjing. But deep inside, she was already planning on buying that newly released handbag with the money!
