Zuo Yi bowed his head to the boss and admitted defeat, but he felt far more relaxed and joyful than winning chess.
Unexpectedly, a small set of checkers could quickly shorten the distance between him and his daughter, making the two of them become closer.
Seeing Zuo Yi's "lost" look, Bao'er couldn't bear it. She kindly pointed out: "Actually, you should have played like this just now, so that you can jump a few more frames..."
The little girl can actually review the game and guide Zuo Yi, a big fool, like a little teacher.
Zuo Yi was ashamed and couldn't help but ask: "Bao'er, who taught you to play checkers, teacher Wang Juan?"
He saw that Bao'er played checkers very skillfully, and he obviously played a lot.
"No."
Bao'er shook his head and said: "Aunt Qing taught me how to do it. Teacher Wang can also do it, but she is very busy and has to take care of other children. The other children can't do it and they don't play with me."
Her slightly disappointed look made Zuo Yi's heart twitch, but what she said about "Aunt Qing" inspired Zuo Yi: "Aunt Qing? Is it Su Wanqing?"
Su Wanqing was the one who placed Bao'er in the daycare center, and Zuo Yi had seen her signature on the power of attorney.
Although he had no impression of the name, Zuo Yi once thought that the other party was Bao'er's mother. He also called the contact number Su Wanqing left at the child care center, but he couldn't get through at all.
Bao'er nodded: "Yes."
After receiving her affirmative answer, Zuo Yi asked tentatively: "Then what is your mother's name?"
"Mother?"
Bao'er shook her head, her expression a little confused.
Zuo Yi felt heartbroken!
He did not expect that during his daughter's four-year-old life, not only would she not be accompanied by her father, but her mother would also not be around.
At this moment, Zuo Yi really wanted to hold the little person in front of him in his arms and give her the greatest comfort and care.
But he was afraid that doing so would frighten the little girl, so he suppressed his inner impulse.
Zuo Yi stopped asking further questions and said with a smile: "Let's play another game. Dad will definitely play better this time."
Bao'er's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
She obviously really enjoys playing checkers.
With Bao'er's careful "guidance", Zuo Yi really improved his chess skills and lost the second game by only three moves.
He also wanted to play a third set with Bao'er, but Wang Juan came back.
She came to remind the two of them that it was lunch time.
Since it was nap time after lunch, Zuo Yi said goodbye to Bao'er even though he was very reluctant to say goodbye.
"Goodbye, baby."
This time, Bao'er didn't need to be reminded by the teacher and took the initiative a lot: "Goodbye, dad."
She waved her little hand to Zuo Yi, blinked her big eyes and asked, "Dad, will you come tomorrow?"
"Come!"
Zuo Yi replied without hesitation: "Dad will definitely come!"
No matter it rains or winds, or there is a knife, or the world ends, he will definitely come here again!
Until I brought my daughter home.
"Um."
Baoer showed a sweet smile.
After leaving the Angel Baby Daycare Center, Zuo Yi found a nearby restaurant for lunch, and then hurriedly ran to the mall to do some shopping.
Driving his Harley back to Linjiang's old house, he decorated Bao'er's room with the items he just bought.
After the paternity test results come out in a few days, Zuo Yi will be able to take Bao'er home, so he has to arrange a place for her to live in advance so that she can have a warm, comfortable and happy nest.
Zuo's old house is a three-story villa. In addition to the master bedroom, the third floor where Zuo Yi usually lives also has a study room and a small guest room that is used as a storage room.
Zuo Yi cleaned out the small guest room, threw away useless clutter, and stored the things that couldn't be thrown away in the basement.
Summoning the giant witch slave, he cleaned the walls, window sills, floors and single beds without leaving any dirt or stains. He then laid out new sheets, put on new pillows and air-conditioned quilts, and slept.
No problem anymore.
In addition to a single bed, there is only a desk and a set of combined wardrobes in the small guest room, and there are no other furnishings.
Zuo Yi thought for a while, left the room and went downstairs.
When he returned to the guest room, he had a vase and a bouquet of wild flowers in his hand.
The vase was brought from the corner of the living room, and the wild flowers were just picked from the nearby fields and forests. Zuo Yi inserted the bouquet into the vase and placed it on the small desk in front of the window sill.
The whole room feels much brighter and more lively.
Zuo Yi nodded with satisfaction.
His artistic ability is limited, and the thickness of his current wallet is also limited, so he can only decorate it to this extent for the time being, but he can slowly renovate it in the future after Bao'er moves in.
Anyway, the days ahead are still very, very long.
Jingle bell~
Just as Zuo Yi was admiring the fruits of his labor, his cell phone suddenly rang.
The person who called Zuo Yi was Chen Yuanzhong: "Zuo Yi, where are you now?"
"I am at home."
Zuo Yi replied: "Uncle Zhong, what can I do?"
Chen Yuanzhong's voice sounded very anxious: "Then hurry up and come here now. It's a very important matter. I can't explain it clearly on the phone. I'll be waiting for you at the police station!"
Zuo Yi said: "Okay, I'll be over right away."
He knew Uncle Zhong's character very well. If it wasn't an important situation, he would definitely not be in such a hurry.
So Zuo Yi quickly left home and rushed to the police station in the town.
Chen Yuanzhong was waiting at the door of the police station. When he saw Zuo Yi driving his motorcycle, he quickly waved.
Zuo Yi parked the car and got out and asked, "Uncle Zhong, what happened?"
Chen Yuanzhong said: "You come with me."
The two of them came to the office of the police station together.
I saw Chen Yuanzhong angrily saying to the two people sitting on the bench in the waiting area: "You still don't believe me after I told you, so now you can see clearly who he is!"
The two men were a middle-aged man and a young man. They stood up and were both very surprised.
The young man with oily hair and pink face blurted out: "Zuo Yi, are you not dead yet?"
Zuo Yi sneered: "Thanks to you two, I live a good life."
As soon as he saw the other party just now, he understood a little bit, and now he was able to determine what exactly happened.
These two are not strangers to Zuo Yi. In fact, they are very close. The middle-aged man is Zuo Yi's uncle, named Fang Chengdong, and the young man with oily hair and noodles is Fang Chengdong's son Fang Jiahao.
He is also Zuo Yi's cousin.
Father and son are direct descendants of the Fang family in Hangzhou, and Zuo Yi was originally one of them, but after his parents divorced when he was five years old, he moved to Linjiang's old house with his mother Zuo Qingyun, almost cutting off all ties with Fang.
Family relationships.
Zuo Yi took his mother's surname.
"Jiahao!"
Fang Chengdong's reaction was not slow. When he woke up from the shock, he immediately glared at his son: "Why are you talking!"
Then he put on a smile again and said to Zuo Yi in an angry tone: "Xiao Yi, when did you come back? You didn't tell us a word, you have made everyone worry so much in the past few years!"
"Save it."
Zuo Yi said in a deep voice: "Are you here to issue a missing certificate? I'm really sorry, I'm still alive!"
The other party's hypocritical appearance made him sick.
According to the laws of Daxia, a person can be declared missing if he has been completely lost for more than three years, and his immediate family members can apply to take custody of the missing person's property. If there is still no news after two years, the person's death will be announced, and all the property will be inherited by relatives.
Zuo Yi disappeared for exactly three years. The Fang family hurriedly came to his place of residence to issue a certificate of disappearance. The purpose was undoubtedly to take charge of and inherit his real estate in Linjiang Town.
They didn't expect that Zuo Yi had returned a few days ago. Chen Yuanzhong, who knew the situation here, probably couldn't explain it clearly to the two of them, so he simply called Zuo Yi over.
I'm here to write a damn missing certificate!
Cousin Fang Jiahao is just like his dead parents, his face is as ugly as he wants.
No wonder, the land owned by Zuo Yi is worth hundreds of millions at least!
Fang Chengdong was cunning and thick-skinned. He seemed to have been greatly wronged by Zuo Yi's sarcasm: "How do you say this, Xiao Yi, we are very happy that you are safe and sound. No matter what, you are also one of us."
People from the Fang family."
"My surname is Zuo, and my last name will only be Zuo in this life!"
Zuo Yi's face was expressionless and he said solemnly: "Go back and tell Fang Chengping so that he will never have any idea of taking advantage of Linjiang Zuo's family!"
Fang Chengping, Zuo Yi’s father, but Zuo Yi has never recognized this father!
