Chapter 438: Chapter 436: What a Comfortable Life, You Little Rascal!

"I called the kindergarten to see if I could contact Vice Mayor Xu and go apologize," Jiayi scrambled to retrieve her phone.

"Jiayi, it’s no use, I’ve tried reaching out to Zaizai’s teacher all night. Vice Mayor Xu couldn’t care less about my calls, nor does he want any explanations. He’s dead set on expelling Zaizai. I heard Xiaobo is the only child of five generations in their family, pampered and spoiled. He’s been treasured like life itself, never been scolded, let alone hit. That’s why Vice Mayor Xu is so furious."

Jiayi felt a rush of anger, although she usually indulged Zaizai, she couldn’t hold back now and pulled Zaizai over, "How could you get into a fight? Haven’t grandma and I taught you? Do you know how hard it is to get into Qixing? Why are you being so naughty!"

Zaizai glanced at his mom with pure stubbornness and pride in his eyes, showing no desire to explain. He forcefully shook off Jiayi’s hand and dashed towards the door.

When Jiayi entered the room, she sensed something was off and merely pulled the door, which was now ajar and not properly shut.

Zaizai pushed the door open and bolted down the stairs like an arrow released from its bow!

Jiayi and Xia Tingxuan realized what was happening and hurriedly chased after him down the stairs!

As night enveloped everything, Zaizai’s small figure instantly blended into the darkness and became invisible.

Jiayi panicked and started to search frantically with her mother.

Jiayi scoured the entire residential area but found no one. Then she ran outside the community and started searching along the street.

An hour passed, then two...

The central park where Zaizai often played on the slide, the nearby 24-hour KFC...

There was no trace of Little Meatball anywhere...

Her heart was about to jump out of her chest with regret, Why did she scold Zaizai? Why didn’t she listen to his explanation...

Thinking this, her eyes suddenly reddened, and she murmured, "Zaizai, where are you..."

In the dead of night, where could he have run off to? Could he have been kidnapped? Could he have been accidentally hit by a car? Could he have encountered an accident?

The more she thought, the more frantic she became. She was about to turn around to go back and report to the police with her mom when her phone rang, bringing a surge of hope. Could it be that her mom had found him?

Sniffling, she quickly answered the phone, "Hello, Mom, did you find Zaizai—"

"It’s me." A familiar male voice came from the other end.

She froze, it wasn’t her mom, it was that man.

"Mr. Huo, I don’t have time right now—" She wanted to hang up.

"Are you looking for Zaizai?" His tone was slightly cold, echoing eerily with the dim blue of the street lights where Jiayi stood.

Just as Jiayi was about to hang up, her motion halted, "How did you know?"

"Zaizai is with me." There was a click, and the call ended on the other side.

Zaizai—ran off to the Disheng Villa?!

Jiayi was stunned for a few seconds, then sprinted to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and sped all the way to the Di Sheng Residential Area.

Fuyah Residential Area was in Yunling’s Southern District, while Disheng, being the city’s most luxurious palace-like dwelling, was on the opposite end of the city.

Typically, even if there was no traffic, it would take at least half an hour by car, but tonight, Jiayi urged the driver on in desperation.

Taking advantage of the nighttime road conditions, it took less than twenty minutes to reach Disheng.

The carved gates of the villa were wide open, and Ade stood at the entrance, seemingly aware she was due to arrive. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

As soon as she got out of the taxi, she dashed into the villa without even taking the time to pay, completely anxious.

"Hey, hey, lady, you haven’t paid the fare yet—" the taxi driver stuck his head out, calling after her.

"All right, all right, I’ve got this," Ade halted the driver’s shouting and stepped forward to pay the fare first.

"Zaizai— " She dashed into the villa’s gate, breathless.

Inside the living room, the lights were dimmed to the perfect level for sleep and rest, creating a cozy and subdued atmosphere.

The volume of the high-definition widescreen television was turned down to the lowest, serving as a background noise for sleeping, softly echoing throughout the spacious villa.

On the sofa, Little Meatball had obviously fallen asleep while watching TV and was covered with a blanket.

Jiayi felt the weight lift from her heart finally settled, her legs feeling weak. She hurriedly called her mother to reassure her, saying she found him in a nearby park and was now out with Zaizai for a walk to clear their minds and to teach him a lesson, then they would return home in a bit.

After hanging up the phone, she let out a sigh of relief, thankful that Zaizai was alright.

Not only was he alright... he seemed to be quite enjoying himself.

Her glance swept over him, noting that Zaizai was wearing a new set of children’s pajamas. The brand belonged to a luxury label known for extravagantly priced children’s clothing.

Of course, she knew well that there were no children in this villa, and she guessed these clothes had been purchased recently.

Furthermore, on the coffee table next to Zaizai, an array of opened snacks were laid out—jelly, yogurt, chocolate, potato chips, beef jerky, squid strips...

They were all Zaizai’s favorite treats.

The little rascal was living it up!

Here he was, living like a little Crown Prince, unaware of how carefree he was, causing her and Mommy to worry all night long.

Jiayi’s gaze shifted towards the figure on the other side of the sofa.

In the half-light, the tall silhouette with long legs rested against the sofa, seemingly having waited for some time. At that moment, his deep, dark eyes were fixed on the little woman who had run in, panting.

Jiayi felt an inexplicable tug in her heart, it had been many days since she last saw him, and she had been avoiding him as much as possible.

She hadn’t expected that their meeting today would be under such circumstances.

"Mr. Huo..." she hesitated, "How did Zaizai end up coming here?"

"I’d like to know that too," the man glanced at the sleeping bundle with a bit of a blue cast to his handsome face, sarcastically, "He hailed a taxi, arrived at Disheng, and at the villa’s gate, called for me to come out and pay. Your parenting skills are really something."

The little rascal sure didn’t hold back.

Jiayi’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, "I apologize, I scolded him at home, but I hadn’t expected him to come and disturb you."

It wasn’t surprising that Zaizai sought out this man.

In Yunling, other than her and Xia Tingxuan, Zaizai had no other relatives. The only address he knew was the Disheng Villa Area, where his "godfather" lived.

If not seek refuge with him, then with whom?

"He told me that," the man’s tone was laced with a tinge of mockery, "he fought with a classmate at kindergarten, and you scolded him. Is it really necessary? Did he kill the other boy? Was there a need to scare him away with your scolding?"

She was Zaizai’s mom, but standing in front of this man, she felt like she was the one being reprimanded.

What kind of domineering logic was this? Jiayi’s face grew even redder as she listened to him, "He left the other child bruised and battered, how could I not discipline him?"

Huo Zhenyang slightly arched his thin lips, "That’s because he’s tough. If he weren’t, the one bruised and battered would’ve been him. Survival of the fittest; blame only the other child for not being strong enough. How can you blame Zaizai?"

Jiayi grew frantic, "But now the kindergarten wants to expel him!"

Huo Zhenyang raised his eyebrows, "What’s going on?"
