Chapter 27

Yue Gu Zai’s Mercedes-Benz parked at McDonald’s .

In Xiao Jiang’s dad’s car, Xiao Jiang pushed the window down button .

‘Dad, I want to eat McDonald’s,’ Xiao Jiang said .

Xiao Jiang’s dad stopped talking on the phone, instructed the driver to go to McDonald’s and resumed talking on the phone .

‘Uncle Chen, I want to go to the McDonald’s Zhen Wu’s dad’s car drove to,’ Xiao Jiang said .

‘Yes young master,’ the driver said .

A while later the driver parked at McDonald’s .

The moment Xiao Jiang walked into McDonald’s, he saw Zhen Wu . Although Xiao Jiang’s dad wasn’t handsome as Zhen Wu’s dad, he thought at least his dad was richer than Zhen Wu’s dad .

‘Dad, I want to sit over there,’ Xiao Jiang said and pointed at the table next to Zhen Wu’s table .

‘Xiao Jiang, I have to meet a client,’ Xiao Jiang’s dad said . ‘I called your mum already . Uncle Chen will stay here with you and your mum will come here later . ’

‘Dad…’ Xiao Jiang sulked and watched his dad leave .

Xiao Jiang stopped himself from crying after he saw Zhen Wu was looking at him .

‘Uncle Chen I want to eat a chicken burger, fries and drink coke,’ Xiao Jiang said .

‘Young master, sit down first and I’ll order food for you,’ Mr Chen said .

Zhen Wu wasn’t impressed with his surroundings, but he saw Xiao Jiang sit on the table next to his table and acted excited .

‘Dad, look at this toy,’ Zhen Wu said . ‘It’s a fun toy . ’

Zhen Wu inwardly berated himself, toys didn’t interest him, he preferred his computer .

‘Dad, try the delicious fries,’ Zhen Wu urged .

Yue Gu Zai frowned . He didn’t like eating junk food . He could see his son hated eating junk food too, but they both forced themselves to eat junk food .

Zhen Zhen spotted Xiao Jiang and waved to him . ‘Xiao Jiang, you’re here too . ’

‘Hello aunty Zhen,’ Xiao Jiang greeted .

Mr Chen brought the food Xiao Jiang ordered to Xiao Jiang’s table .

‘Uncle Chen, I want the same toy as Zhen Wu,’ Xiao Jiang said .

‘Zhen Wu, you don’t like this kind of toy,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘Why don’t you give your toy to Xiao Jiang?’

Zhen Zhen knew her son hated figurines . She didn’t want to waste money on something her son didn’t like so she suggested her son give the figurine to Xiao Jiang .

‘Who said I didn’t like this toy?’ Zhen Wu asked . ‘Mum can’t you see I’m having fun playing with it?’

Zhen Wu forced himself to play with the toy aeroplane . ‘Fly, fly . ’

Zhen Zhen understood Zhen Wu was purposely showing off in front of Xiao Jiang . She was about to lecture Zhen Wu to play nice with his friends, but was startled by a loud voice from behind her .

‘Xiao Jiang, sorry for making you wait,’ Xiao Jiang’s mum said . ‘I ran here after I received your dad’s call . ’

Xiao Jiang’s mum was dressed in expensive clothes, but she couldn’t fit properly on the chair and made the table shake after she sat down .

‘Mum, don’t pinch my cheeks,’ an embarrassed Xiao Jiang said .

Zhen Wu pitied Xiao Jiang’s cheeks . He thought their teacher pinching their cheeks didn’t look as painful as Xiao Jiang’s mum pinching Xiao Jiang’s cheeks .

Xiao Jiang’s mum noticed Zhen Wu was sitting on the table next to her son’s table .

‘Isn’t that Zhen Wu?’ Xiao Jiang’s mum asked . ‘The boy who has a mum but no dad?’

Yue Gu Zai glared dangerously at Xiao Jiang’s mum .

Although Xiao Jiang’s mum was frightened by Yue Gu Zai’s glare, she thought Yue Gu Zai was a model .

Zhen Zhen was impressed Yue Gu Zai could silence Xiao Jiang’s loud mum with a deadly glare .

‘Hello I’m Jin Mei Li,’ Jin Mei Li greeted Yue Gu Zai . ‘I’m Xiao Jiang’s mum . Who are you?’

Zhen Zhen thought there was something wrong with Jin Mei Li’s eyes, because Jin Mei Li was blinking fast .

‘I’m Zhen Wu’s dad,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

‘No wonder Zhen Wu is such an adorable boy,’ Jin Mei Li said . ‘He inherited his looks from his dad . It’s a pleasure to meet you . ’

Zhen Zhen was taken back how quickly her son turned from a boy who had a mum and no dad to an adorable boy . She silently ate one of the burgers her husband and son ordered, but she was the only one eating .

‘Mum…’ Xiao Jiang called .

Xiao Jiang knew his mum was distracted by Zhen Wu’s dad’s looks .

‘Do you want to drink coffee with me tonight?’ Jin Mei Li asked and winked .

Zhen Zhen noticed Jin Mei Li was showing off cleavage that was more impressive than Da Tu Li’s cleavage . While Jin Mei Li’s chest was almost popping out of a tight top, Zhen Zhen silently finish eating a burger .

‘I’m busy,’ Yue Gu Zai said coldly to Jin Mei Li . He looked suspiciously at Zhen Wu who was enjoying his displeasure . ‘Son, have you finished eating?’

‘Yes,’ Zhen Wu said .

Zhen Wu had seen enough of Jin Mei Li’s tactless flirting .

‘Let’s go,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

Yue Gu Zai led his wife and son to the car .

Jin Mei Li didn’t want to part with a handsome man so soon .

‘Xiao Jiang’s let’s go,’ Jin Mei Li said .

‘Mum, I haven’t finish eating,’ Xiao Jiang said .

‘You can wrap up the food and take it to the car,’ Jin Mei Li said .

Mr Chen walked to the car first and Xiao Jiang reluctantly followed his mum to the car .

At the carpark, Yue Gu Zai was opening the door for his wife and son when suddenly a bearded man grabbed Xiao Jiang hostage, and police cars surrounded the carpark .

‘Xiao Jiang!’ Jin Mei Li cried out and fainted at the sight of a stranger holding her son at gun point .

‘Mum…’ Xiao Jiang said in a panicked voice and cried .

‘Don’t come here,’ the bearded man said . ‘Or I’ll shoot . ’

The cops were worried the bearded man would shoot Xiao Jiang so they didn’t dare step toward the bearded man .

‘Mum… mum…’ Xiao Jiang called and cried louder .

‘Little boy, I’ll shoot you if you don’t stop crying,’ the bearded man threatened .
