Sweetie, sleep with me tonight.

Chapter 3 Lie Down Well

The two of them: "??"

"Dad! Where have you been these past few days?! I've been looking for you so hard!!"

Jiang Xu, clinging to He Zhuo's leg with one arm, howled with the exhilaration of a missing child reunited with their family: "You have no idea how much I've missed you these past few days! If you hadn't shown up, Mom and I really would have had to beg on the streets!!"

At the empty hospital entrance, all that could be heard was Jiang Xu's heart-wrenching, booming voice.

The two were stunned.

"Hey kid, who are you?" Xie Zhao walked over, grabbed the guy, and said, "Let go right now, or else I'll..."

He suddenly stopped, staring at the face in front of him in astonishment.

"Uncle Xie Zhao, it's me!" Jiang Xu patted his chest, his face full of anticipation. "It's me, Jiang Xu. Don't you remember me?"

Holy crap!

Xie Zhao suddenly released his grip and took several steps back.

He stared in horror at the boy on the ground: "W-W-W... Brother Zhuo, this kid looks exactly like you!!"

He Zhuo frowned and looked down.

Perhaps worried that he would run away, the boy wrapped his legs tightly around his calves and gripped his trouser leg with his right hand, hanging on his legs like a koala.

He tilted his head back, staring at the face that looked 98% like his own, and kept grinning foolishly at him: "Dad, I'm out of money, can you give me some?"

He Zhuo: "..."

Xie Zhao glanced at He Zhuo, then at the boy on the ground.

"Brother Zhuo, this kid isn't... your illegitimate son, is he?" Xie Zhao closed his eyes and did some mental calculations with his hands, then gave a thumbs up. "Awesome, Brother Zhuo, you became a father at six?!"

The world has gone so mad that he no longer recognizes it.

He Zhuo glanced at him: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

"Then why do you all look so alike?"

They had the same peach blossom eyes, the same nose and mouth, except that the kid had a pair of shallow dimples at the corners of his mouth. Everything else, even the location of the beauty mark at the corner of his eye, was exactly the same!

They're practically identical!

Especially the kid's tone and actions, so practiced and intimate, it's really weird!

"I'm asking you a question."

"..."

Xie Zhao boldly speculated: "Could his father be a long-lost relative of your He family?"

"What do you mean, 'his dad'? He Zhuo is my dad!" Jiang Xu declared confidently. "Dad, Uncle Xie Zhao is a complete idiot, don't listen to his nonsense!"

"Uncle? I'm only twenty-one!" Xie Zhao paused, finally realizing what was happening. "Wait, how do you know my name?"

"I not only know your name, but I also know that you're currently having a conflict with Grandpa Xie, and Grandpa Xie has frozen your cards. Now you're dependent on my dad for everything!"

Xie Zhao was terrified: "Brother Zhuo, could this be a once-in-a-millennium prodigy?!"

He Zhuo's ears hurt from the noise, and he said impatiently, "Let go."

"No!" Jiang Xu hugged even tighter. "Dad, if you don't give me the money, I'll... Hey hey hey—"

boom! !

Jiang Xu was thrown directly onto the car body, his head stuck in the car window.

"Jiang Xu!!" Jiang Youxi rushed over and forcefully pulled him out of the car. "Are you alright?"

"N-nothing, it's just..." Jiang Xu was dizzy and could only keep grinning foolishly, "I'm a little dizzy."

After saying that, he fell onto the hood with a thud.

"Jiang Xu!"

Jiang Youxi was furious: "Why are you hitting people like this..."

As soon as she turned her head, she met the man's cold, dark eyes.

"Is it you?"

Jiang Youxi was immediately intimidated by his powerful aura.

She smiled kindly: "Yes, it's me, Senior He Zhuo. What a coincidence, I can run into you anywhere."

He Zhuo chuckled, a chilling smile playing on his lips: "What did you just say? Hit someone?"

"..."

She's really gone mad!

How dare they lecture this lunatic to his face?!

"I..." Jiang Youxi felt a chill run down her spine, but thinking of how he had treated Jiang Xu just now, she straightened her back. "Isn't that right? If you hadn't flung him like that, his forehead wouldn't have swelled up!"

Jiang Xu suddenly sprang to his feet and whispered, "Mom, I got this on my forehead from falling while climbing the wall, not from Dad."

"Shut up."

"OK."

Jiang Xu obediently lay back down on the hood.

But the next second, Jiang Xu was pulled aside by Xie Zhao.

"What are you doing? Let him go!"

"Don't worry, I won't hit anyone in front of the hospital."

Ha ha.

Is it because they're worried about rescuing too quickly?

He Zhuo looked her over and asked, "Are you his sister?"

Both of them had the same small dimples at the corners of their mouths, which appeared and disappeared with the amplitude of their speech.

"What are you trying to say?"

"Are you aware that your brother is going around claiming to be your father?"

Jiang Youxi paused, then feigned ignorance: "I don't know, what's wrong?"

"He also asked me for money."

"..."

He tilted his head and smiled: "Trying to scam someone?"

"..."

Again.

That deadly tilted-head smile is back.

"How could that be?!" Jiang Youxi immediately denied it. "We are law-abiding citizens, how could we possibly do something like staged an accident?"

Jiang Youxi pulled Jiang Xu up to leave, when a familiar voice came from behind.

"Second Young Master?"

It's Aunt Zhang from earlier.

Jiang Youxi immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly gestured to Jiang Xu.

Aunt Zhang came over and, seeing that they were all there, said, "Second Young Master, it's good that you're here. I need to talk to you."

Aunt Zhang recounted in detail what had just happened when Jiang Xu climbed the wall.

"Second Young Master, what are your plans to do?"

He Zhuo's gaze shifted and landed on the two people who were crouching down, preparing to make a quick getaway.

"stop."

The two slammed on the brakes and turned around nervously.

Jiang Youxi's smile froze: "Senior He Zhuo, is there anything else?"

The man put his hands in his pockets and gestured with his chin toward Jiang Xu: "He'll stay."

"No, is that alright?"

What do you think?

"I think he can leave."

"In that case, you should stay with him too."

"Why am I staying too?"

Let's talk about him climbing over my wall tonight.

"..."

Jiang Youxi smiled at him, but her expression suddenly turned serious the next second—

"Run!!"

After saying that, he slipped away and ran for his life.

In the blink of an eye, the two figures completely disappeared from sight.

He Zhuo was stunned, then burst into laughter in exasperation.

They slipped away pretty quickly.

Xie Zhao walked over, his face full of astonishment: "Brother Zhuo, do you know what you just looked like?"

He Zhuo glanced at him sideways.

"Like a thug."

He Zhuo ignored him and turned to leave.

"Hey, Brother Zhuo, what about this car?"

He Zhuo then noticed the pink electric scooter.

"It's called freight forwarding."

"Is it really that bad?"

How much is a small electric scooter worth?

"I have my own use."

Xie Zhao had no choice but to call the shipping company.

He Zhuo instructed Aunt Zhang, "I'll handle this. You can go back now."

"Yes, Second Young Master."

After Aunt Zhang left, He Zhuo walked into the hospital.

After communicating with the doctor and confirming the surgical plan and time, it was already 1 a.m.

He Zhuo walked out of the hospital and got into the car.

Xie Zhao then followed them out and got into the car.

After getting on the bus, I saw the man leaning against the back of the seat, dozing off.

Knowing that he had a sleep disorder, Xie Zhao didn't disturb him and started the car to leave.

He Zhuo was awakened by the sound of the car starting and raised his hand to rub his temples.

"Brother Zhuo, you're awake?"

He Zhuo sat up straight, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and something fell out with it.

He paused, then realized it was that coward's student ID.

Xie Zhao leaned over for a peek and saw it was Jiang Youxi's student ID. He was somewhat surprised: "Wait, Brother Zhuo, you're called a hooligan, and you actually are? You even snatched someone's student ID?"

He Zhuo picked it up and put it back in his pocket, lit a cigarette, and took a puff: "If you say another word, I'll cut off your card."

Xie Zhao grinned and casually brought up Jiang Xu: "I just talked to that kid for a while. You have no idea how terrifying he is! He not only knows everything about the entire He family, but he even knows about what happened between your mother and your father back then!"

"Tell me, isn't this a once-in-a-millennium child prodigy?!"

He Zhuo lightly tapped the cigarette with his fingertip: "What else did he say?"

He also said that Jiang Youxi is his mother, and you are his father, and that you are a loving family.
