Seeing Jiajia's tone and expression, Wu Mingcheng immediately sensed something was wrong. It seemed that Jiajia's matter really was related to this Mr. Yu.

Li Dawei wasn't stupid; he understood what was going on and asked, "..."

"What? Don't you get along with your stepfather?"

Jiajia said somewhat impatiently,

"Whether it's good or bad is my business, it's none of your concern. Stop the car now, or I'll jump out!"

Seeing that Jiajia wouldn't respond if Wu Mingcheng continued, he stopped asking further questions.

"Alright, it's almost lunchtime. Where can you go? Do you have any money? Let me treat you to dinner. What would you like to eat?"

Jiajia glanced at Wu Mingcheng. To be honest, she found him rather pleasing to the eye.

"Hot Pot?"

Wu Mingcheng nodded and obediently replied.

"Okay, whatever you say, let's have hot pot, Li Dawei, let's go, hot pot!"

Seeing that Jiajia had stopped insisting on getting off the bus, Li Dawei smiled and said...

"Alright, hot pot, let's go!"

Upon arriving at the hot pot restaurant, while Jiajia was in the restroom, Wu Mingcheng looked at Li Dawei across the table and said...

"Dawei, you felt it, didn't you?"

Li Dawei nodded.

"Indeed, it seems that Jiajia's refusal to go home must have a lot to do with this Mr. Yu."

But Mingcheng, Jiajia won't tell us! What do we do now?

Wu Mingcheng then said,

"Let's keep Jiajia calm for now and prevent her from working at the bar. We can deal with the rest step by step. She'll tell us sooner or later."

Li Dawei responded.

"I understand now,"

Meanwhile, Wu Mingcheng was thinking about Jiajia and her stepfather, Mr. Yu.

What could have caused Jiajia to suffer so much injustice but be too ashamed to speak out? Domestic violence?

For some reason, Wu Mingcheng had a bad feeling.

After spending a long time together, and with Wu Mingcheng's resolute protection of Jiajia yesterday, Jiajia felt a sense of security she had never experienced before.

Jiajia affectionately calls Wu Mingcheng "Brother Mingcheng," but Li Dawei wasn't so lucky.

He didn't even use a title for Jiajia; he went straight to plain language.

At night, they naturally couldn't leave Jiajia alone; it was too unsafe for a little girl to be outside alone.

So the two of them took Jiajia back to their place.

When asked where she lived, Jiajia answered directly,

"I'm not going to live with you, I want to live at Mingcheng's house,"

As soon as they entered the house, Xia Jie came out of the kitchen upon hearing the noise.

"what happened?"

Wu Mingcheng spoke up,

"Xiaojie, I brought back a little boy, this is..."

Before Wu Mingcheng could introduce her, Jiajia was taken aback, clearly recognizing Xia Jie.

"Sister Xia Jie?"

Xia Jie recognized Jiajia and said in surprise,

"Jiajia? What brings you here? You've grown so much!"

Li Dawei, standing to the side, said...

"Do you know each other?"

Wu Mingcheng spoke up,

"Since you two know each other, I don't need to introduce you. Your sister Xia Jie is now a police officer at the Jiulihe Police Station, just like me,"

Jiajia was stunned upon hearing this.

 (Nuode Zhao) "Sister Xia Jie, you've become a police officer?"

Xia Jie nodded and said,

"Yeah, doesn't it seem like it? What's wrong with you guys...?"

Jiajia quickly cried and told Xia Jie,

"Sister Xia Jie, please tell Li Dawei to stop following me around all the time,"

Xia Jie looked at Wu Mingcheng with some confusion.

"Mingcheng, what's going on?"

Wu Mingcheng sat down on the sofa and explained to Xia Jie.

Li Dawei then seized the opportunity to speak.

"Jiajia, I don't have to follow you, but then you can tell your sister Xia Jie."

Why don't you go to training courses or go home? Why do you insist on working at a bar? Are you trying to upset my master?

Jiajia blushed.

“My working is my own business, it has nothing to do with my dad,” Kai said.

Chapter 499 Taking them home to live?

Xia Jie noticed Jiajia's embarrassment and quickly changed the subject.

"Alright, alright, are you interrogating Jiajia? Jiajia, come sit in my room for a while,"

Jiajia hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

"it is good,"

As Jiajia left, she made a face at Li Dawei, and Li Dawei playfully made a face back at her.

Wu Mingcheng, however, did not forget to remind him...

"Remember to tell your mom, so she won't worry."

Jiajia said earlier,

"I know, Mingcheng-ge, you don't need to tell me, she's very sensible, okay?"

Meanwhile, Wu Mingcheng and Li Dawei sat in the living room and quietly continued their discussion about Jiajia.

That evening, after they had all finished get off work, Wu Mingcheng, Xia Jie, Zhao Jiwei, and a few others sat on the living room sofa chatting.

Li Dawei, on the other hand, struck an exaggerated pose, like a muscular man.

Jiajia was drawing a sketchbook not far away.

Li Dawei's arms were aching from posing so much, and he couldn't help but complain.

"Is 920 done yet? You finished drawing Mingcheng so quickly, why are you drawing me so slowly now?"

Jiajia raised her head and said earnestly,

"It's because you're too ugly; of course you need more time to improve your appearance."

Upon hearing this, Li Dawei immediately said with an exaggerated expression,

"No way, you actually said I'm ugly? You Gen Z kids have such terrible taste!"

Jiajia pouted and asked Wu Mingcheng,

"You're the one with no taste! Brother Mingcheng, do I draw you well?"

Wu Mingcheng smiled but remained silent; he simply couldn't bring himself to praise his own work.

Xia Jie, standing to the side, gave a thumbs-up and said,

"I think Jiajia's drawing is very good; she has a great sense of aesthetics."

Li Dawei was getting impatient.

"you…………………………………"

Jiajia saw Li Dawei move and immediately said...

"Don't move, the more you move, the uglier you'll look."

Li Dawei was speechless for a moment.

"Hmph, you have no respect for elders. I'm still your brother, for goodness' sake."

Yang Shu then spoke up.
