Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 444 - 442: Make the Ears Pregnant

Xiaobo burst into tears, "Why should I apologize to him? He beat me up like this, he should apologize to me!"

Mrs. Xu scolded sharply, "You were the one who started it, cursing at others, so you should apologize! You won’t apologize, will you? Well, believe it or not, I will smack you—"

Xiaobo, afraid of being hit by Mommy, unwillingly and reluctantly turned to Zaizai, sobbing, "I’m sorry, Zaizai, I shouldn’t have cursed at you first."

Mrs. Xu then put on a smiling face, looking towards Zaizai, "Chu student, have you forgiven our Xiaobo?"

Zaizai was also very generous, as adults are magnanimous, with a wave of his chubby hand, "Forget it! Anyway, you won’t dare to talk nonsense again. If you do, I’ll turn your other eye blue too!"

Jiayi was initially pleased with her son’s first half of the statement but upon hearing the second half, she took a sharp intake of breath and hurriedly glanced at Mrs. Xu, bending down with a furrowed brow, "Who taught you to say that!"

Zaizai pouted, feeling there was nothing amiss, "Godfather, godfather said, if someone hits you, hit them back hard. If they slap you, give them ten in return. One slap is payback, and the remaining nine are a warning so they dare not do it again!"

Jiayi exhaled, wondering just how much of the doctrine of hegemony that man had taught Zaizai when they were alone!

Yet Mrs. Xu seemed not to have heard, laughing awkwardly, "No problem, no problem! Kids, do we take their words seriously?"

The principal was even more flabbergasted at this development, realizing overnight the situation had completely reversed, "Mrs. Vice Mayor, you and Vice Mayor Xu didn’t you say—"

Mrs. Xu quickly interrupted the principal, "I came here today to say that our Xiaobo will be switching kindergartens. Could you please help process that? We will not be coming starting next week."

Switch kindergartens?

The principal was even more dishevelled, "Mrs. Vice Mayor, are you joking? Switching Xiaobo to another kindergarten?"

Jiayi was also taken aback. Just yesterday, Vice Mayor Xu’s family had thrown down the gauntlet, it was either Xiaobo without Chu Zhuoting, or Chu Zhuoting without Xiaobo, and now they were voluntarily withdrawing?

Getting into Qixing is not easy; there is no other kindergarten in Yunling with better teaching resources and facilities than Qixing!

And now Vice Mayor Xu and his wife were voluntarily withdrawing?

Mrs. Xu affirmed decisively, "Yes, we’re switching kindergartens."

The principal had nothing to say, called the principal’s assistant in, and took Mrs. Xu and Xiaobo to process the paperwork.

Jiayi hurriedly picked up Zaizai’s hand, "Principal, so our Zaizai can continue attending as usual, right?"

The principal, looking a bit embarrassed, nodded and seeing the expression on Jiayi’s face, couldn’t help but become more puzzled.

Whatever the reason, even Vice Mayor Xu and his wife had to give way to this young woman, it seems—

Chu Zhuoting’s background was more formidable than she had imagined.

The principal’s tone became very gentle, "Chu Zhuoting, you can return to class now."

Zaizai glanced at Mommy, waved goodbye, and bounced off.

Jiayi greeted the principal and also left the office.

It wasn’t until she reached the kindergarten gate that the anxiety hanging over her since last night finally lifted.

The expulsion issue was finally resolved.

But it was certainly not by chance—

She mustered her courage, took out her phone, and called that man’s number. After a few seconds, a familiar magnetic male voice answered, "Hello."

Somehow, every time she saw him or heard his voice, her heart would throb involuntarily, racing wildly.

It was the same at this moment.

Even more nerve-wracking.

Sometimes, she even thought that it seemed to be an invisible force, inexorably drawing her and him together.

Everyone in the world has a destined encounter with someone else.

Sometimes the connection is deep, and the time spent together is long—that’s a good fate. Sometimes the connection is superficial, and the time is short—that’s a bad fate.

Yet her encounter with this man was something she couldn’t fathom.

She suppressed the inexplicable panic in her heart, "It’s me."

He, of course, knew it was her, and his lips lifted slightly in a response, "Oh."

"I just took Zaizai to the kindergarten to plead his case, and I ran into the mayor’s wife who had also brought her son. Mrs. Xu didn’t force Zaizai to leave the school; instead, she apologized to us, and in the end, it was Xiaobo who was withdrawn from school... Did you help with this?"

After much thinking, she really couldn’t think of any other reason why the mayor and his wife would suddenly change their attitude.

Even though she also knew that this man’s status as a mere department manager was no match for the deputy mayor, but—

Apart from him, she couldn’t think of a second person.

"My godson no longer has to be expelled, and from now on, he won’t need to be bullied either, right?" The man harbored a twinge of nonchalance in his smile, casually and leisurely, sidestepping her question as his gaze rippled like waves upon the water.

Upon hearing this, Jiayi immediately realized it had indeed been him who lent a hand, slightly shocked, "Was it really you? How were you able to—"

His tone was casual, "Haven’t I mentioned? I know important people in the city. Zaizai was able to interview at Qixing because I asked for their help."

Of course, she remembered, but wasn’t that acquaintance just someone from the education department?

Even if he could persuade the deputy mayor to calm down, how could he possibly pressure the Xu family into transferring Xiaobo to another school?

"But—"

"You should be thanking me right now, instead of questioning," he retorted.

Jiayi suddenly fell silent and didn’t ask further. Regardless, this man had once again given her significant assistance. She mumbled her lips, "Thank you, Mr. Huo. Also, regarding Mrs. Chen’s issue last time, that wasn’t you too, was it?"

That incident had also puzzled her.

How could the overbearing Mrs. Chen who flaunted her power in front of her suddenly return the red envelope and even desperately apologize?

He slightly curved his lips, "Dealing with a housewife shouldn’t be considered a difficult task."

Her breath hitched.

Just how resourceful was this man? How extensive was his network?

Could this really just be the capability of a corporate department manager?

Unable to help her curiosity, she said, "Thank you, Mr. Huo, but—"

"But," he raised his lips again, interrupting her once more, "have you already thought of how you will repay me?"

His tone was unmistakably playful and flirtatious.

Even through the phone, it effortlessly wafted over.

The man’s voice was like a chord, magnetic, deep, and rich—it was the kind of voice that could make your ears pregnant after listening.

Jiayi’s face reddened instantly, and she nearly lost her train of thought, "...I... I could invite you to dinner, would that be alright..."

Such a naive and simple young woman. Clearly a young mother, yet often, she didn’t seem like someone who had a child.

Huo Zhenyang found he was increasingly fond of the sensation of teasing her.

This feeling was akin to placing a pitiful, chirpy canary in a cage, claiming it for himself, to be cherished solely by him.
