Chapter 88: Chapter 69.2

Wen Yan took a break today and was not in the school, so he took Xiao Yi back and was teaching him how to speak.

He held Xiao Yi in his arms and teased him with the rattle in his hand. “Xiao Yi, say daddy, and I’ll play with you when say it, yes?”

Jiang Zhou stood at the door and watched for a while.

Wen Yan teased Xiao Yi for a long time, but the baby didn’t say anything. He just whined and groaned. After standing for a while, he didn’t want to stand anymore. He kept pushing his legs down, trying to sit down.

Wen Yan couldn’t control him and could only put the rattle in the basket behind him. When he turned around, he saw Jiang Zhou standing at the door. “Why are you standing there so stupidly?”

Jiang Zhou took Xiao Yi from his arms and patting him over gently. “This brat is getting fat again?”

Xiao Yi was too lazy to speak, but he was very smart. Knowing that his father was calling him a brat, he pouted, broke away from Jiang Zhou’s hand, and thrusted himself into Wen Yan’s arms. Hiding inside, he turned his buttocks towards Jiang Zhou.

Jiang Zhou laughed. “The little brat knows how to complain to you.”

He lifted Xiao Yi’s clothes and noticed that he was only wearing thin layers. “Why is he wearing so little? Isn’t he cold?”@@novelbin@@

Wen Yan shook his head. “I just turned on the floor heater. He wanted to take off his clothes because he was too hot, but half of them got stuck on his head, so I took them off for him. There is still residual heat at the moment. I will give him some clothes when the residual heat dissipates.”

The floor heating had been installed a long time ago, and Wen Yan had been using it to keep warm, now his body had always been warm. There was no need for smoking stove.

“The school is also considering repairing the floor heating, but there has been no income there. The tuition alone is only enough for daily expenses. Floor heating is too expensive for them.” Wen Yan worriedly said, “I don’t know if the government can allocate some money for repairs.”

Jiang Zhou shook his head. “According to Master Liu’s temperament, he may not agree to spend money on this.”

He shared his own concerns with Wen Yan. “Rather than relying on Master Liu, it is better to ask Master Zhuo.”

“That’s true. I’ll accompany you to see Master Zhuo tomorrow and ask if this is feasible.”

“I guess not tomorrow.” Jiang Zhou thought of what Master Zhuo had told him. “Master Zhuo has been upset recently, and he probably doesn’t have the time or energy to care about this matter.”

Wen Yan was surprised. “What happened to Master Zhuo?”

“Remember what I told you about the time traveler?”

Wen Yan nodded. “Of course, I remember.”

“I’ve talked with that time traveler, he is Master Zhuo’s son now, Zhuo Yan.”

“This!” Wen Yan was shocked. He thought that the person was dead, but he was still alive, and it happened to someone close to them!

No wonder his reaction was so strange when Wen Yan first arrived at the Inspector’s Mansion, that Zhou Yan actually…!

Jiang Zhou held his hand. “Don’t get excited.”

Wen Yan smiled bitterly. “I’m not excited. What about Master Zhuo? What did he say?”

“Master Zhuo also noticed something was wrong.”

.

At the beginning, Zhuo Bang just thought that Zhuo Yan was burned out and fell ill, so his temperament was a little different from before. He became very homely and didn’t like to go out or walk around. Later, Zhuo Yan probably noticed it and started to go out to socialize, and he and Liu Buping became very close.

Zhuo Bang slowly gave up his doubts and turned around to go about his official duties. Only after he got out of his official duties did he suddenly realize that something was wrong.

In the past, even if Zhuo Bang was busy with official duties, Zhou Yan would visit him regularly to prevent him from forgetting time and neglecting his health.

Although in the past, Zhuo Yan was arrogant and domineering, he was very kind to the people in his family. At most, he used Zhuo Bang’s name to bully others, but he did not dare to go too far for fear of affecting his father’s career.

However, now Zhuo Yan was often away from home, playing wildly outside, doing a lot of stupid things in the name of Zhuo Bang, and even being coaxed into confusion, he wanted to intervene in a few cases and covered up crimes for those gangsters.

Among the new group of people, he made friends with, there was a playboy who molested a married woman and beat her husband half to death. The woman refused to be humiliated and sued to the court.

Zhuo Bang had nothing to do that day. When he came back, Zhuo Yan, who had been begged by his friend, quietly kicked her out, stuffed her with a few taels of money, and forced her to withdraw the lawsuit.

If one of Zhuo Bang’s government officials hadn’t mentioned it, Zhuo Bang would have been kept in the dark and didn’t know a thing about this case.

How could his son’s temperament change drastically for no reason?

Zhuo Bang was so frightened that he didn’t sleep well for several days. He flipped through many ancient books and came up with a theory about being possessed by ghosts and demons.

He hesitated for a long time and went to test Zhuo Yan.

He lied that the Memorial Day of the old madam of the Zhuo family would be in a few days and asked Zhuo Yan if he wanted to go back to pay homage. He also told Zhuo Yan how much the old madam had loved him and waited to see his reaction.

As a result, Zhuo Yan immediately said that he wanted to pack his luggage and go back.

Zhuo Bang’s heart suddenly went cold—the old madam of the Zhuo family had died in the autumn, Zhuo Yan cried like a river that year, it was impossible to forget!

After the test, Zhuo Bang’s mind was in a mess and Jiang Zhou noticed his distraught.

Wen Yan fell silent after hearing this.

Jiang Zhou squeezed his hand and said, “I have a way to deal with the time traveler, but you have to cooperate with me in a play.”
