Mr.President, Let's Get a Divorce
Chapter 338: They said, coming here one could see the elder sister.

Chapter 338: They said, coming here one could see the elder sister.

She actually brought Xiaocao to Anlin!

Not only that, Vice President Zhuo Ting... was also a knowledgeable party...

Xiao Hua’s eyes narrowed; clearly, Song Xiangqiao intended to complicate the nature of this matter!

"Don’t touch me, I can walk by myself."

Xiaocao’s voice was light and carried a hint of aloofness as he somewhat disdainfully addressed the two guards beside him.

After that, the small figure walked towards the side hall where Song Xiangqiao and Zhuo Ting were.

Two pillars and half a wall completely obstructed Xiao Hua’s view; she couldn’t see the side hall, so for a moment, she could only hold her breath and listen...

And damn it!

Xiao Hua frowned, feeling a twinge of pain in her right ear.

That ear, she was already completely deaf in and relied on an artificial eardrum fitted inside.

Although an artificial eardrum could substitute for a natural one, its side effects were not minor.

She needed to be meticulous about cleaning it and ensuring the inner ear stayed dry.

For example, if she got water in her ears after bathing and did not pay attention to drying them out, she might very well have inflammation the next day.

The slight pain now might well be due to inflammation.

Having the artificial eardrum meant she regained some hearing, but for missions, it was far from sufficient, so she usually wore hearing aids, a very small black soft case, placed in the ear, which ordinary people would never notice.

Her ear was in pain, and she wasn’t wearing the hearing aid.

Xiao Hua’s brow tightened as she saw those who knocked and led Xiaocao in were now leaving.

At this time, the side hall should only contain the Vice President couple and Xiaocao.

This wasn’t a solution.

Xiao Hua crawled out from behind the curtains and boldly hid behind the half wall that separated her from the side hall.

...

Song Xiangqiao looked at Xiaocao sitting across from them.

A nine-year-old boy, with a delicate and spirited face, he resembled Xiao Hua by seventy to eighty percent.

She squinted her eyes; if she hadn’t seen it herself, if she didn’t have undeniable proof, Song Xiangqiao would have found it incredibly hard to imagine that within the same G country, genes could be so coincidentally similar.

And upon seeing Xiaocao, she was pretty much convinced that Xiao Hua did indeed look very much like Song Lili.

But no matter how similar, they were not the same.

A motherless and fatherless orphan in Tanjin and a daughter of the mayor from Anlin City, even with identical appearances, would have two entirely different faces.

Therefore, when Song Xiangqiao saw Xiao Hua for the first time at the banquet, she identified her as Song Lili!

The very Song Lili without any doubt!

That suddenly changed Song Lili, who felt completely strange to her and left her in panic and disarray!

Zhuo Ting examined Xiaocao, his gaze surprisingly tender, and even joked, "This boy’s eyes, don’t they resemble those of your brother quite a bit?"

"..."

Song Xiangqiao was startled, truly lacking the energy for jokes; she took a deep breath and hurriedly said to Zhuo Ting,

"Husband, let’s talk business, it’s getting late."

She urged him.

Xiaocao also had a pair of almond-shaped eyes, large and spirited; unlike some people whose eyes, though big, weren’t aesthetically pleasing, and whose iris and sclera proportions were off.

"What’s your name?"

"And you? Who are you?"

Xiaocao sat upright before them, not at all flustered, his calmness not at all like that of a nine-year-old boy.

His face even lacked any expression.

Zhuo Ting narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "You don’t recognize me?"

"Are you famous?"

"My surname is Zhuo, my name is Zhuo Ting, and I am the Vice President of the country where you were born."

Zhuo Ting seemed to have a special patience when dealing with children.

Song Xiangqiao sat by the side, not wanting Zhuo Ting to talk to Tang Xiaocao in such a gentle manner at all...

"Vice President..."

Tang Xiaocao thought about it and realized that the Vice President did indeed have the surname Zhuo...

On regular days when he had nothing to do at school, he would listen to the radio, and when he had computer class, he would also go online.

National affairs were none of his concern, and being so young, he wouldn’t care about an election either, but ... the name Wen Nian and the familiar figure in the corner of the screen at the election candidate’s speech venue forced him to pay attention.

The nine-year-old boy had carried a stool over to the computer and watched the candidate speeches for over three hours straight.

Upon reflection, he was able to match the face of the man who ran against Brother Wen Nian with the face of the person claiming to be the Vice President before him.

"Hello, Vice President."

Tang Xiaocao politely greeted him.

He sat upright yet relaxed, not with the kind of stiffness that comes from being overly formal.

It was clear that his usual behavior was well-mannered.

Zhuo Ting developed an inexplicable fondness for this little boy named Tang Xiaocao.

"My name is Tang Xiaocao, and I am a third-grade student at Xilin Manluo Private Primary School."

"Private primary school?"

Zhuo Ting noticed this key detail.

"Yes, Vice President."

Tang Xiaocao answered his question neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Why are you attending a private primary school?"

"Because the school has very good teaching quality, and my sister wants me to receive a better education."

Tang Xiao Hua, standing behind the wall, felt a tightening in her heart upon hearing Tang Xiaocao say this.

Xilin Manluo Private Primary School’s teaching quality was indeed among the best in Xilin, there was no denying that, but she had never used this as an excuse to hide the fact that she couldn’t give up her promising future to stay by his side.

She had even told Tang Xiaocao this straightforwardly.

However, she didn’t know why, when Tang Xiaocao spoke of it, it was only about her looking out for his best interest.

"It seems your sister is a loving and caring older sister."

"Of course she is! Vice President, the person who came to pick me up said I could meet my sister here, is that true?"

Tang Xiaocao asked.

Zhuo Ting thought for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Since you’re not sure whether what they said is true or false, why did you still come with them?"

"I thought, since they mentioned my sister, it must have something to do with her. If I didn’t come, I’d have to wait until the New Year to see her. If I came, I’d have a chance of seeing her in the next couple of days."

"..."

Tang Xiao Hua took a deep breath, her lips curving into a slight smile...

Other things she did not know, but what she did know was that Tang Xiaocao was a child who was especially grateful and never forgot those who did good to him.

His kind nature had not become distorted because of a series of events that had happened in his early childhood.

This comforted Tang Xiao Hua, who thought that the real Tang Xiao Hua in heaven must also feel comforted at this moment...

"Have you ever considered that it’s possible these people are deceiving you, and they might do something very bad to you?"

"Kidnap me?"

Tang Xiaocao asked with a knowing look and then answered himself, "What could they get from kidnapping me? I have no money, and they are not very smart."

In the end, he was still just a nine-year-old child.

Zhuo Ting thought.
