An Hongming was confused. 'What's this? What did the child mean by Uncle Debt Collector?'
Lu Jingnan's face darkened when Song Wanwan called him Uncle Debt Collector.
'How did Song Ruyi educate this child? Couldn't she have just called me an uncle?
'Why did she call me a debt collector?
'Did I collect any debt from them?'
An Hongming quickly corrected Song Wanwan, "Wanwan, you can't be so rude. You should just call him an uncle. What do you mean by Uncle Debt Collector? It's not very pleasant, and it's also very rude. Do you understand?"
"He's a debt collector. That day, I accompanied Mommy to deliver food. Later, our tricycle crashed into his car. He asked Mommy to send me to Granny Wu's place. Then, he chatted with Mommy for a long time. He must've asked Mommy to pay for the accident."
Song Wanwan told the story word for word. In the end, she had given a summary.
It was driving Lu Jingnan crazy. This little girl's brain was quite imaginative.
He did not receive a single cent. What exactly did her mom pay for?
"Wanwan, didn't you want to go to the washroom? Let's go. I'll take you there." Zhao Jiayuan finally realized that the person the little kid knew might be a friend of his brother-in-law. He quickly took her away.
It was only then that Song Wanwan realized that she wanted to go to the loo. She threw herself into Zhao Jiayuan's arms again.
An Hongming looked over at Lu Jingnan, who was also staring back at him.
Song Wanwan had called An Hongming her uncle. Based on Lu Jingnan's analysis, he figured An Hongming and Song Ruyi were uncle and niece.
An Hongming said directly, "President Lu, did Ruyi really crash into your car? She's my wife's niece. Her mother passed away, so she's raising a child by herself. It's not easy for her. How about this? How much do you need to repair the car? Send the bill to me when the time comes, and I'll pay for it."
Children would not lie. Since Wanwan said that Song Ruyi hit his car, she must have hit it.
Lu Jingnan should be compensated.
Even so, Song Ruyi did not need to bear any additional burden.
"That's not necessary. Someone has taken responsibility," Lu Jingnan said.
At this moment, he had a new idea about An Hongming's identity. Previously, he had never thought that An Hongming and Song Ruyi could be related.
"Someone has…?" An Hongming was worried.
"Don't worry. Since you said that Song Ruyi's life has been tough, I won't make things difficult for a single mother like her," Lu Jingnan said. He had asked Bai Yunfei to fix the car. He would be solely responsible for all the expenses.
He had no intention of letting Song Ruyi spend money.
At this moment, Song Ruyi came over with a toilet roll. Her uncle had just called her and told her that Wanwan wanted to go to the washroom. He didn't have any toilet roll with him and asked her to bring it over.
That was how she bumped into An Hongming and Lu Jingnan.
When Song Ruyi saw Lu Jingnan, she felt a little guilty, but that turned into surprise when she saw An Hongming and Lu Jingnan standing together.
"Uncle," Song Ruyi first called An Hongming, then she braced herself to address Lu Jingnan, "Mr. Lu, what a coincidence."
At this moment, her thoughts were a little muddled.
Hearing Song Ruyi greet Lu Jingnan, An Hongming thought to himself, 'Wow, they really do know each other.'
"It's a coincidence, Miss Song." Lu Jingnan did not call her by her first name. Instead, he politely called her Miss Song.
He had deliberately stopped thinking about the scene in the morning. Now that he saw Song Ruyi, the image of her smiling at another man surfaced again in his mind.
As such, he felt uncomfortable.
Last night, Song Ruyi had smiled warmly at an old man. This morning, she smiled seductively at a doctor who was picking her up. Why did not Lu Jingnan get that many smiles from her?
The most Lu Jingnan got from her was politeness. She had even pushed him once!
"I'll bring this tissue roll to Wanwan. You guys can continue chatting." Song Ruyi found an excuse to slip away.
After Song Wanwan used the washroom, Song Ruyi helped Wanwan wash her hands and brought her out. When they passed by the place earlier, Lu Jingnan was already gone. Only An Hongming and Zhao Jiayuan were chatting while waiting for the two of them.
An Hongming and Zhao Jiayuan were talking about Song Wenli, who was in Lu Jingnan's private room. When they heard Song Wanwan's voice, they stopped abruptly.
They did not plan to mention Song Wenli's name in front of Song Ruyi.
Song Wanwan did not see Lu Jingnan and asked An Hongming, "Granduncle, where's Uncle Debt Collector? Has he left?"
Song Ruyi was surprised. "Uncle Debt Collector?"
She did not understand.
An Hongming was feeling a little helpless. "Lil' Wanwan, you have to call him Uncle Lu. I told you just now that good children shouldn't adopt rude behaviors."
Song Wanwan pursed her lips, unwilling to change.
It was that uncle who had been rude first. When he asked another dark-faced uncle to invite her and her mom to his car, her mom was so scared that she fainted.
Wanwan had not yet argued with that uncle.
Only then did Song Ruyi understand that Song Wanwan was talking about Lu Jingnan.
"Wanwan, you have to call him Uncle Lu. You're not allowed to call him Uncle Debt Collector." Song Ruyi did not want to talk so much with her and made a serious request.
"But he scared you until you fainted. I don't like him. He even talked to you as if he was ordering you. I don't like that either." Song Wanwan crossed her arms and expressed her thoughts strongly.
Song Ruyi felt her head ache. Wanwan dared to say anything with her mouth.
"You were scared until you fainted? Ruyi, what's happened? I heard that President Lu didn't ask you to pay for the damage," An Hongming asked.
"Yes, uncle. He didn't ask me to pay for it. I probably didn't eat much for breakfast that day. It was almost noon, and I was a little hungry, so my blood sugar was a little low. That was why I fainted. I woke up very quickly after that," Song Ruyi explained.
"Then you have to put some snacks in your bag. Ruyi, Wanwan is so small. You have to take care of yourself and take care of your body, okay?" Zhao Jiayuan said quickly.
It was not good for one to faint so easily.
"Okay, Uncle. I got it." Song Ruyi nodded and agreed.
Zhao Jiayuan held Song Wanwan in his arms again, and the four of them walked to their private room.
After Lu Jingnan returned to the private room, he did not even have the mood to entertain these people.
Song Ruyi was related to An Hongming. He did not expect this.
He thought about how he acted like a boss when he went to An Hongming's real estate company that day. If Song Ruyi found out about this in the future, what would she think of him?
It would not be an issue if he did not plan to hang around Song Ruyi in the future. That said, he was not willing to accept the fact that he did not know Song Wanwan's full background. He wanted to find out who Song Wanwan's father was and when Song Ruyi hooked up with that b*stard.
At this moment, Lu Jingnan's determination became even more obvious after he bumped into Song Ruyi again.
He took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Bai Yunfei. [Yunfei, introduce me to a reliable and capable private detective. You have to be quick.]
Lu Jingnan planned to sort out Song Ruyi's relatives first. Otherwise, if he bumped into her family again one day, he would offend them because he did not know.
He was waiting for Bai Yunfei's reply when Song Wenli took the lead and raised a toast to Lu Jingnan. Not only did Lu Jingnan not drink, but he also suddenly stood up and said, "I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving first. Tang Shan, pay the bill."
Everyone. "..."
'We haven't started to eat, and yet you're paying the bill already?'
