"Dad lost."
Zuo Yi bowed his head and admitted defeat, but the feeling in his heart was far more carefree and joyful than winning.
He didn't expect that a small set of checkers would quickly shorten the distance between him and his daughter and make them closer.
Seeing Zuo Yi's "disappointed" look, Bao 'er couldn't bear it. She kindly pointed out, "Actually, you should've played like this just now. That way, you could've played a few more squares …"
The little girl actually knew how to review the game and seriously guided Zuo Yi, this big idiot, like a little teacher.
Zuo Yi blushed with shame and couldn't help but ask, "Bao 'er, who taught you how to play checkers? Teacher Wang Juan?"
He saw that Bao 'er was very skilled at playing checkers. It was obvious that she played a lot.
"No."
Bao 'er shook her head and said, "Aunt Qing taught me. Teacher Wang also knows how to play, but she's very busy and has to take care of other children. The other children don't know how to play, and they don't play with me."
Her slightly disappointed look made Zuo Yi's heart clench, but the "Aunt Qing" she mentioned inspired Zuo Yi. "Aunt Qing? Is it So Wan Qing? "
So Wan Qing was the person who put Bao 'er in the daycare center. Zuo Yi saw her signature on the letter of entrustment.
Although he didn't have any impression of this name, Zuo Yi once thought that she was Bao 'er's mother. He even called So Wan Qing's contact number in the daycare center, but it didn't go through.
Bao 'er nodded. "Yes."
After getting her affirmative answer, Zuo Yi asked again, "Then what's your mother's name?"
"Mother?"
Bao 'er shook her head. Her expression was a little blank.
Zuo Yi felt a burst of heartache.
He didn't expect that in his daughter's life when she was four years old, not only did she not have a father by her side, but even her mother was not by her side.
At this moment, Zuo Yi really wanted to embrace the little girl in front of him and give her the greatest comfort and care.
However, he was afraid that doing so would frighten the little girl, so he forcefully suppressed the impulse in his heart.
Zuo Yi stopped asking and smiled. "Let's play another round. This time, Dad will definitely play better."
The Bao'er's eyes lit up. "Sure!"
She obviously really liked playing checkers.
With Bao 'er's serious "guidance", Zuo Yi's Go skills improved greatly. He lost the second game by only three moves.
He wanted to play a third round with Bao'er, but Wang Juan came back.
She was here to remind them that it was time for lunch.
Since it was time for a nap after lunch, Zuo Yi said goodbye to Bao'er even though he was reluctant.
"Goodbye, Bao'er."
This time, Bao'er didn't need the teacher to remind her. She was much more proactive. "Goodbye, Dad."
She waved her little hand at Zuo Yi, blinked her big eyes and asked, "Daddy, are you coming tomorrow?"
"Yes!"
Zuo Yi replied without hesitation, "Dad will definitely come!"
No matter if it was windy or raining, or if it was the end of the world, he would definitely come here again!
Until he brought his daughter home.
"Okay."
Bao'er smiled sweetly.
After leaving the Angel Baby Nursery Center, Zuo Yi found a random restaurant nearby to have lunch. Then, he hurried to the mall to buy some things.
He drove the Harley back to the Linjiang mansion and took the things he had just bought to decorate Bao'er's room.
In a few days, when the paternity test results came out, Zuo Yi would be able to bring Bao'er home. Therefore, he had to arrange a place for her to live in advance so that she could have a warm, comfortable, and happy nest.
Zuo Yi's old house was a small three-story villa. On the third floor, apart from the master bedroom, there was also a study and a small guest room that was used as a storage room.
Zuo Yi cleaned up the small guest room, threw away the useless things, and stored the things that couldn't be thrown away in the basement.
He summoned the Giant Spirit Wizard Slave and cleaned up the walls, windowsill, floor, and single bed without leaving any dust or stains. He then laid out new bedsheets, placed new pillows, and air-conditioned blankets. Sleeping and resting would not be a problem.
In addition to the single bed, there was only a desk and a combination wardrobe in the small guest room. Other than that, there was nothing else.
Zuo Yi thought for a while, then left the room and went downstairs.
When he returned to the guest room, he had a vase and a bouquet of wildflowers in his hand.
The vase was taken from the corner of the living room, and the wildflowers 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 windowsill.
He felt that the whole room was much brighter and more lively.
Zuo Yi nodded with satisfaction.
His artistic talent was limited, and the thickness of his wallet was limited, so for the time being, he could only decorate to this extent. However, when Bao'er moved in later, he could slowly modify it.
Anyway, the days ahead were still very long.
Ding ling ling ~
Just as Zuo Yi was admiring the fruits of his labor, his phone suddenly rang.
It was Chen Yuanzhong who called Zuo Yi, "Zuo Yi, where are you now?"
"I'm at home."
Zuo Yi replied, "Uncle Zhong, what's the matter?"
Chen Yuanzhong's voice sounded very anxious, "Then hurry up and come over now. It's very important, and I can't explain it clearly over the phone. I'll wait for you at the police station!"
Zuo Yi said, "Okay, I'll be right there."
He knew Uncle Zhong's character very well. If it wasn't something important, he wouldn't be so anxious.
So Zuo Yi quickly left home and rushed to the police station in town.
Chen Yuanzhong was waiting at the gate of the police station. When he saw Zuo Yi driving a motorcycle over, he quickly waved to him.
Zuo Yi parked the motorcycle and asked, "Uncle Zhong, what's the matter?"
Chen Yuanzhong said, "Come with me."
The two of them went to the office of the police station together.
Chen Yuanzhong angrily said to the two people sitting on the bench in the waiting area, "I told you, but you didn't believe me. Now look clearly who he is!"
The two people were a middle-aged man and a young man. They stood up and were very surprised.
The young man with a greasy head and powdered face blurted out, "Zuo Yi, you're not dead yet?"
Zuo Yi sneered and said, "Thanks to you two, I'm living very well."
When he saw them just now, he understood a little bit. Now he was even more sure about what had happened.
These two people were not strangers to Zuo Yi. In fact, they were very close. The middle-aged man was Zuo Yi's uncle, Fang Chengdong. The young man with a greasy head and powdered face was Fang Chengdong's son, Fang Jiahao.
He was also Zuo Yi's cousin.
The father and son were direct descendants of the Fang family in Hangzhou. Zuo Yi was originally one of them, but after his parents divorced when he was five years old, he moved to the old house in Linjiang with his mother, Zuo Qingyun, and almost cut off his relationship with the Fang family.
Zuo Yi took his mother's surname.
"Jiahao!"
Fang Chengdong's reaction was not slow. He came to his senses from the shock and immediately glared at his son. "How can you say that?"
Then he put on a smile and said to Zuo Yi in a reproachful tone, "Xiao Yi, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell us? You've made us worry for the past few years! "
"Save it."
Zuo Yi said in a deep voice, "Are you here to get a missing person's certificate? I'm sorry, but I'm still alive! "
Fang Chengdong's hypocritical appearance disgusted him.
According to the laws of Da Xia, a person who had completely lost contact for more than three years could be declared missing. His immediate family could apply for custody of the missing person's property. If there was still no news after two years, his death would be announced, and all property would be inherited by his relatives.
Zuo Yi had been missing for exactly three years. The Fang family rushed to his residence to get a missing person's certificate. Their purpose was undoubtedly to manage and inherit his real estate in Linjiang Town.
They did not expect that Zuo Yi had come back a few days ago. Chen Yuanzhong, who understood the situation, probably couldn't explain it clearly to the two of them, so he simply called Zuo Yi to come over.
He was here, why the hell did they need a missing person's certificate?
Fang Jiahao's cousin looked as if his parents had died. His face was as ugly as it could be.
It was no wonder. The land under Zuo Yi's name was worth at least a few hundred million yuan!
Fang Chengdong was a cunning and thick-skinned person. He felt wronged by Zuo Yi's mockery. "How can you say that? Xiao Yi, we're all very happy that you're safe and sound. After all, you're still a member of the Fang family."
"My surname is Zuo. My surname will only be Zuo in this life!"
Zuo Yi said expressionlessly. "Go back and tell Fang Chengping that he can never have any ideas about the Zuo family in Linjiang!"
Fang Chengping was Zuo Yi's father, but Zuo Yi had never acknowledged him as his father!
