Shen Lin just looked at her, but he thought the girl would say something about having a brother.
However, the next second he was astonished to see her lips move and out popped two words:
Shen Lin’s body stiffened instantly: "...?"
What did this girl just say?
Not only was Tong Le dumbfounded, but so were the others.
The middle-aged woman, incredulous, looked at Li Zaijun, then at this tall man, and suddenly snorted with a cold laugh:
"What a joke, do you think I’m so easily fooled?"
She would never believe it.
This man could easily pass for her boyfriend, how could he be her dad?
At most he looked about thirty years old.
Shen Lin also stared at Li Zaijun, his eyes suddenly gaining a profound expression.
At that moment, Li Zaijun glanced at him, leaned in closely, grabbed the hem of his suit, and with a tense face said:
"Dad, did you hear that just now? She just insulted me, saying I have no parents, and told you to discipline me."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lin’s gaze flickered slightly.
It seemed he suddenly understood why she had said that.
Then, his hand landed on her small shoulder, and as he stared at the middle-aged woman, a chilly smile spread across his lips:
"Is that so, you think I as a father am dead?"
The middle-aged woman was immediately dumbfounded.
The words stuck in her throat, wanting to say something but being intimidated by the frost covering his eyes.
Shen Lin let go of her hand abruptly, took out a handkerchief as if somewhat disgusted, wiped his long fingers, and finally, without any courtesy, threw it onto her.
He sneered, "I believe you will take responsibility for your words. See you later."
With that, he ignored the woman’s infuriatingly ashamed expression, grabbed Li Zaijun’s hand, and started walking towards the school gate.
The assistant, who had parked the car along the roadside, came over, respectfully following him when he approached.
Also parked by the curb was a — limited edition Maybach.
Tong Le was utterly astonished by this sudden turn of events and particularly by the fact that Junjun had such a young, wealthy dad, falling deep into self-doubt.
She would have believed he was a boyfriend, how could he be a dad?
Regaining her senses, she hurriedly followed them.
The middle-aged woman, her daughter, Xu Wenbin, and others watched this scene with especially complex expressions on their faces.
Especially Xu Wenbin, Li Zaijun’s ex-boyfriend.
Watching the man leading Li Zaijun away, his otherwise handsome face twisted slightly.
His girlfriend couldn’t help but frown tightly, sarcastically saying:
"A ’dad’, more like a ’sugar daddy’. A tramp is always a tramp, no matter where she is she’ll just seduce men!"
Her mother also sneered:
"I think so too, I’d like to see what this man is capable of."
Once inside the school, away from those people’s eyes, Li Zaijun quickly tried to let go of her hand.
But her hand was tightly held by his.
She frowned and looked at him, only to see Shen Lin not even glancing at her, just calmly saying:
"What’s the problem? I’m not your father? What’s wrong with holding my daughter’s hand?"
Upon hearing this, Li Zaijun’s eyes widened in disbelief and after a long pause, she blurted out two words:
She said that just to avoid being insulted for not having parents.
