Chapter 39 Stupid Dog
Jiang Ji shook his head, his gaze involuntarily drifting to the enormous dog.
That dog was so fat and white, and it looked like it was smiling. It was so cute.
"Go, Tie Dan."
Huo Wang simply patted the dog's rear end, sending it off to play with the child.
"Eat it or not, the kid's mother will be here to pick him up soon anyway." Huo Wang opened another bottle of beer for himself and continued eating the barbecue.
The food had just been delivered; the grilled lamb skewers were still warm, with a crispy outer skin and incredibly tender meat inside. Topped with chili peppers, a special dipping sauce, and some white sesame seeds, they smelled wonderful.
The mutton didn't have a gamey smell; instead, it had a milky aroma. Some people liked it, and some didn't. Huo Wang, anyway, quite liked it.
It was almost closing time, so only a few lights were turned on in the store, making it very dimly lit.
That little brat seemed unusually unafraid of strangers, following Tie Dan around everywhere.
She ran from east to west, from one car to another. Every now and then she would steal a glance at him, as if afraid he would be angry.
Huo Wang turned off his phone and glanced at his face through the reflection. With such a handsome face, who could be afraid of him?
He must be overthinking it.
Jiang Zhuhua arrived quickly, pulling the roller shutter down slightly, indicating that he was about to close the door.
The lighting inside wasn't very bright, but you could clearly see a man eating meat skewers next to a folding table.
He was very tall, wearing a black vest underneath a leather jacket, and gray pants.
His chest looked bulging, and his arms were unusually thick. He had a cross-shaped earring on his ear, which looked shiny under the light.
His face has sharp angles and doesn't look gentle; instead, it exudes a different kind of fortitude and nonchalance.
The first impression he gives is that of a retired underworld boss.
Jiang Zhuhua glanced at him briefly before quickly looking away. He saw his suddenly rebellious son next to the toolbox.
At this moment, the unfilial son was covered in dirt and had some engine oil on him. Moreover, his own unfilial son was acting like a sycophant, circling around the white Samoyed.
Jiang Zhuhua actually knew that Jiang Ji liked furry things, like when he lingered in the cat cafe and didn't want to leave. But he resisted that temptation back then.
To my utter surprise, he came out with a dog today. The dog followed him around the shop, circling the toolbox and occasionally running around the car.
Jiang Zhuhua walked into the shop and rubbed his temples. It was such a terrible sight that he decided to leave it for now.
"Hello, I'm his mother. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Jiang Zhuhua stretched out her fair finger and pointed at Jiang Ji, who was running around aimlessly.
Huo Wang looked up from the skewers and glanced at the woman. She had an exceptionally beautiful face, with a hint of annoyance between her brows, and a touch of detachment towards him, a stranger.
She is a person who keeps a distance from others, and recently she has encountered some trouble.
Huo Wang made a basic judgment in his mind.
“I’m the owner of this shop. Your son came running here with my dog.”
Tie Dan was still running around, unable to fulfill any of his duties as a guard dog.
When a stranger comes, they don't even call out.
Although Huo Wang felt helpless, he accepted it.
"Thank you very much. I don't know why this unfilial son suddenly ran down here."
As Jiang Zhuhua spoke, he took a bank card out of his pocket.
"There's some money in the card, not much, just consider it a token of my gratitude."
After all, not everyone is willing to lend a helping hand, and some people may even choose to ignore the child. Jiang Zhuhua really wouldn't know where to look for help then.
Jiang Zhuhua placed the card on the table; it didn't contain much money—just a few hundred thousand.
"It's nothing, nothing serious. Let's go home early, it's already past midnight."
This guy's got money, Huo Wang glanced at the bank card on the table, but didn't take it. He just smiled and waved his hand.
"By the way, your son is hungry. You asked him if he wanted some barbecue, but he didn't want any. The kindergarten is doing a pretty good job with safety education these days."
Huo Wang only said a few words casually. The garage echoed because it was spacious enough. Jiang Ji naturally heard their conversation.
He slowly stopped and carefully lay down beside a car, silently observing.
He even felt incredibly guilty. This was only his first day staying home alone, and he'd already run off and caused such a huge mess.
"Okay. My name is Jiang Zhuhua. Let's exchange contact information so we can chat in the future if anything comes up."
The other party was unwilling to accept money, but Jiang Zhuhua was willing to provide assistance in other ways. This time, Huo Wang did not refuse, and the two exchanged contact information.
"Jiang Ji!"
Jiang Zhuhua turned around and looked at Jiang Ji, who was cowering timidly beside the car. He gritted his teeth and called out the name, no longer using the nickname.
"To!"
Perhaps, human infants all have an innate fear of powerful names. Jiang Ji involuntarily shivered and straightened up.
"Go back with me."
With other people present, even if Jiang Zhuhua wanted to hit him, he wouldn't do it in this setting. His face darkened, though, and it was Jiang Ji who was the one with the dark expression.
"Oh."
Jiang Ji shrank back and approached, then spoke in a low voice.
"Mom, I just came down to look at the dog, and then I followed the dog for a while and got lost."
Although the explanation was extremely weak and unconvincing, Jiang Ji still hoped to lessen his guilt.
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
Jiang Zhuhua was speechless. It was just a dog, and they managed to trick people like that?
You're destined to be a major villain. Is it really okay for you to be so innocent as a child?
You don't even need a beautiful woman, just a little white dog, and he'll seduce you.
Jiang Zhuhua was so angry that his hands were itching to act.
Despite the good safety education provided by the kindergarten, Jiang Jiming clearly didn't learn anything.
The two walked hand in hand toward the car. One was well-dressed, wearing an elegant women's suit, while the other was still wearing a kindergarten uniform, covered in dirt.
Tie Dan was puzzled. Why did this human cub run away?
So I just leaned in and breathed on it, barking softly.
Huo Wang: "Tiedan."
You can't lure a silly dog by just calling its name. Huo Wang was still holding a skewer of lamb in his hand, and he waved it.
The silly dog immediately came running back. Huo Wang stuffed the lamb skewers into its mouth and helped it pry them off.
Jiang Zhuhua was so angry that his head was buzzing, but he still had the habit of walking around the car before getting in, after all, he had been scammed by someone when he was young.
I never expected that just one glance would reveal that something was wrong with the car.
