Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 369 - 367: Just a Little Bit Evil

Jiayi didn’t see it, but Huo Zhenyang, of course, did see it. His brows furrowed even more. Was this Little Meatball really not a little devil? So cunning at such a young age, what would he grow up to become?

Jiayi’s heart was about to break. She had experienced firsthand his harshness. She couldn’t imagine how he must have treated Zaizai just now, but she had to suppress her indignation:

"Mr. Huo, I know the child has done something wrong, but you could have directed your anger at the adults, why pick on a child? He’s just a kid, why must you be like this? Just tell us how much to compensate for the car, we won’t run away!"

She knew that the phrase "He’s just a kid" might be annoying, the very excuse for shirking responsibility, but she just couldn’t stand seeing Zaizai being picked up by that man, his face streaked with snot and tears.

Sure enough, a naughty child is often matched by irresponsible parents. Huo Zhenyang gave a cold smile: "You want me to say? Fine, I’ll tell you."

Jiayi glanced at the BMW and couldn’t help but take a sharp intake of breath. She had a rough idea of how expensive that car was; it appeared to be a new model that she had never seen on the streets of Yunling City.

Now it had been scratched up by Xiaobao...

But what could she do at this point? All she could do was straighten her back: "Please, go ahead."

"The current market value of this car is 8.9 million. The round-trip transportation and fuel cost to airfreight it back to its place of origin, plus repair costs, doesn’t amount to much—probably just a fraction of the car’s value. I’ll have my secretary carefully check and then report the exact figure to you," said the man, his tone very businesslike as he adjusted his suit collar.

Every word sent a chill through Jiayi’s body. A fraction of 8.9 million? That’s still nearly a million...

If she had close to a million right now, she’d be breathing easy, proudly sending her son to Qixing Kindergarten and telling Mommy to cut back on her classes to get some rest at home!

Would she still need to run everywhere, begging for work?

She tried to keep her tone steady: "Mr. Huo, you’re not joking, are you?"

The man could be deliberately deceiving her, just as he could be inflating the repair costs now.

And another thing—

Was this car really his?

Wasn’t he a department manager?

Even as a senior manager in a big corporation, could he really afford such a car?

Huo Zhenyang’s gaze grew icy: "Joking? I haven’t even told you everything, and you think I’m joking already? Besides the repair costs, I haven’t calculated the loss of business. I have to drive this car to the airport to pick up important clients from Yundu and discuss business deals tomorrow. Now that the car looks like this, it won’t be fixed by tomorrow—in fact, it might take a month. Without this car tomorrow, the company’s business might suffer. The deal is worth more than ten billion. You might want to start considering how to break the pot and sell the iron to pay me back!"

Having said that, the man lengthened his stride, preparing to get into the car.

Jiayi was already stunned. She hadn’t even resolved the repair costs of several hundred thousand, and now there was a business loss fee to consider... When would this end?!

It wasn’t just about breaking the pot and selling the iron; even if she broke her bones, she wouldn’t be able to pay back the debt.

Zaizai had never imagined that he would cause such a disaster.

He didn’t want to be a burden to Mommy and Grandma...

Grandma taught classes all day just to make a little extra money, and Mommy had been running around since graduation in hopes of providing for the family as soon as possible.

Little Meatball’s eyes suddenly sparkled, he held his little head, and began to moan in pain, "...Mommy... Mommy, I don’t feel good..."

Jiayi snapped out of her shock: "What’s wrong? Don’t scare Mommy."

Zaizai sneakily glanced at the big bad guy through the corner of his eye, and sure enough, it seemed like he stopped in his tracks, furrowed his brows and looked back. Zaizai immediately started rolling around in Mommy’s arms, "... I don’t know, my head really hurts, I don’t know if it was when the bad uncle picked me up... it might have hit something..."

Having watched children’s TV for so long certainly came in handy at the crucial moment! His acting skills were top-notch.

If he didn’t have to keep up the act, Zaizai really wanted to give himself a thumbs up.

Jiayi touched Zaizai’s forehead with her lips in a panic, and it seemed to have gotten hot again, probably from the scare and all the commotion. She became flustered, scanned the street for a taxi, but with none in sight, she could only run towards Ade, pleading desperately:

"Could you please take us to the hospital first? My son has a fever."

Huo Zhenyang’s face turned two shades darker than charcoal, did they think he was a free ambulance?

He opened the car door, "Ade, let’s go."

Jiayi panicked, hugged her son, and got to the car door ahead of him, "We can talk about repaying the money later, please take my son to the hospital first! He had a fever all night yesterday, and it just got better today. If it weren’t for your scare just now, he wouldn’t be having a fever, and who knows what else might be wrong with him, you have a responsibility too..."

Ade looked towards Huo Zhenyang, "Boss..."

Making such a scene on the street, it was as if they were bullying a mother and her child, even if he was in the right, he had become the one in the wrong. Huo Zhenyang’s expression iced over and before he could say much more, Jiayi, seizing the silence, swooped in low, acted preemptively, and sat inside with Xiaobao.

This woman, she really had no reservations, Huo Zhenyang darkly watched mother and son.

"Boss, let it go, we’re on our way out anyway, just think of it as giving them a ride on the way. If someone sees this on the street, it’s your reputation that will take a hit." Ade, with a soft heart, offered some advice.

Jiayi looked at Ade with gratitude.

Huo Zhenyang narrowed his eyes and eventually bent down to get into the car.

Ade started the engine, racing towards the closest major hospital. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Along the way, Zaizai continued his act, curling up in Mommy’s arms, using his peripheral vision to observe the bad uncle beside Mommy, and keeping up a pitiful appearance:

"Mommy, am I going to die..."

Jiayi comforted her son with pats, "No, you won’t, we’ll see the doctor at the hospital and you’ll be fine," and she also glared at Huo Zhenyang from time to time.

If anything happened to Zaizai, she wouldn’t care if he was a high-level executive or drove a luxury car, she would make sure to give him a piece of her mind!

Meanwhile, the man beside her had a face as dark as coal, with a hint of a cold sneer showing on his lips.

Was this little woman actually foolish, or just pretending? Couldn’t she see that this chubby child was exaggerating on purpose?

A three-year-old child had her completely wrapped around his finger; her IQ must’ve been eaten by a dog.

But this mischievous kid, quite unexpectedly, had potential.

Amidst the comforting and the pitiful whining of mother and son, and the surly aura of the man next to them, the BMW adorned with turtle drawings flew like the wind on the city streets.

Ten minutes later.

The car stopped at the entrance of the nearest Yunling City Maternal and Child Health Hospital.

The moment she got out of the car, Jiayi was frantic, holding the little meatball as she pushed open the door, she suddenly felt something was amiss—her shoulder was eerily empty.
