Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Who Has Such a Big Face

Song Song agreed, but her heart was pounding. She felt that Xiao Jinghuai was someone who wouldn’t budge no matter what.

However, she had something to ask of him, so it seemed convenient.

On the way back, Song Song sat in the passenger seat, a bit restless. She wasn’t sure whether to speak in a serious setting or just casually mention it now.

She was a hesitant person to begin with, and now she felt even more so...

So annoying.

Xiao Jinghuai glanced at her, "What’s up? You have something to say?"

"Uh... Uncle, did you see through me?" Song Song’s heart skipped a beat as she touched her face, "Is it that obvious?"

Xiao Jinghuai took a turn, his expression suddenly serious, "You want to plead for Xu Lang?"

"Wow!" Song Song’s eyes lit up instantly, "Uncle, you’re simply a Divine Calculator! How did you know? I was trying to plead but didn’t know how to begin."

"But now I don’t need to worry, hehe!"

Xiao Jinghuai’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Tell me your reason."

"Because my colleague, Xu Lang’s girlfriend, is pregnant. She doesn’t want the child to be fatherless right after birth, so..."

"So you felt soft-hearted?" Xiao Jinghuai smiled slightly, this little thing.

Song Song pursed her lips, "I grew up without a father too, so I especially understand the feeling of not having one. I kind of empathize. If Uncle could let him go this time, it would be a good deed."

"I’m not a Buddha in a temple. I don’t need to save everyone."

"Do you know how much Xiao Family’s public funds he embezzled secretly? How much recent projects lost under his care?"

These two sentences immediately left Song Song speechless. She felt there was no need to continue; besides kidnapping, just these two accusations were already very serious.

"Oh, I see..."

Song Song turned her head to look out the window. The lush green of early spring flashed before her eyes, and then she remembered another thing, "Uncle, why did the ’Top Chef in the World’ competition stop? Don’t you think it’s a pity?"

"You think it’s a pity?" Xiao Jinghuai’s eyes grew colder, "What’s your reason?"

"Many people traveled far and wide to compete, including quite a few friends from abroad. The main thing is that Master Zhou is here. To meet someone of his god-like status even once is worth it..."

"You like him?"

"Yeah! He’s my male god!"

Xiao Jinghuai’s eyes stung fiercely, "Oh, that’s really a pity. I don’t plan to let it continue."

It’s best if Zhou Yunxian rolls back to his hometown as well.

Song Song was puzzled; it seemed she had truly offended him somewhere. But where exactly? She always spoke to him so respectfully...

She knew it; he wasn’t that easy to talk to. Both requests were rejected. How was she going to explain this to Lin Man now?

And those long-distance competitors, who had barely reached the second round of the PK but inexplicably had the competition halted.

Song Song suddenly felt like she had become a historical villain.

...

At night, after finishing his work in the study, Xiao Jinghuai was about to return to the bedroom. He had just reached the door when he turned back to the desk and picked up the phone.

"Xing Quan, put Xu Lang’s matter on hold for a while."

"President Xiao, are you sure?" Xing Quan, half-asleep, thought he heard wrong.

"Yes, someone interceded."

"President Xiao, can I ask who it was that pleaded on his behalf?"

Who had such a face to change his mind, so impressive.

"Who else could it be!"

Xing Quan immediately understood, "Okay, I got it."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Jinghuai took a cigarette from the drawer and walked to the window to light it...

Through the wisps of smoke, looking at the night scene outside the window, he hadn’t taken a few puffs when the study door suddenly swung open!
