Chapter 978: The Rebellious Girl Who Skips Class to Go Online
"Wow, little brother, you have to help me find Liu Jin!" Zeng Xia ran to Huang Xiaochuan's office with snot and tears streaming down her face, crying and pleading.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Tell me properly." Huang Xiaochuan comforted his second sister while helping her sit down. He knew without a doubt that the mother and daughter had been arguing again.
Seriously, I'm speechless. Are these two enemies from a past life? The house is always in chaos, maybe it's because Liu Jin is going through her rebellious phase.
Zeng Xia sobbed as she said, "You know, she's taking the high school entrance exam this summer. Yesterday, after the parent-teacher meeting, I said a few words to her, and she talked back, so I hit her a few times. Today, her teacher called to tell me she didn't go to school. Her dad and I searched everywhere, but we couldn't find her. I couldn't think of anywhere she could have gone, so I came here to see if she might be here."
Huang Xiaochuan was speechless: "Why don't you just make a phone call and you'll know?"
Huang Xiaochuan was furious at the mention of this. He didn't know how his parents had raised such a nice girl, resulting in a girl addicted to the internet. Skipping classes to go online was a regular occurrence for her, and her grades were terrible. As for the high school entrance exam, it was questionable whether she could even get into high school.
Despite her anger, she still needed to find the person. "Alright, alright, stop crying. I'll send people to help you look for him right now."
With tears welling in her eyes, Zeng Xia asked, "Where can we look for it?"
"I'm speechless," Huang Xiaochuan glared, "Where else could it be? Of course, it's an internet cafe. You should contact the parents of her close friends later to see if she went to anyone else's house. Honestly, I don't know how you're a mother."
"Oh, oh, oh!" Zeng Xia replied hastily.
Huang Xiaochuan immediately summoned Li Huan and asked him to gather people to search for her. Huang Xiaochuan guessed that the girl probably wouldn't be too far from the school or home, so he decided to search all the internet cafes within a five-kilometer radius of those two places to see if she was there.
He then instructed Gao Song: "Tell President Wang of Huixin Bank that I have something come up and we should reschedule for another day."
"Okay!" Gao Song immediately went to make the call.
Huang Xiaochuan looked at Zeng Xia and said, "Let's go!"
Zeng Xia wiped her face and asked in surprise, "You're going too?"
"Nonsense, I'm not worried about not being able to find them!" Huang Xiaochuan was practically furious.
In the late afternoon, after receiving news of Liu Jin, Huang Xiaochuan immediately went to the internet cafe where she was. The people who found her did not disturb her and guarded the two exits of the internet cafe to prevent her from getting lost again.
Upon learning that Liu Jin had been found, Zeng Xia breathed a sigh of relief and then called Huo Miao, asking him to go to that internet cafe as well.
When Huang Xiaochuan and Zeng Xia arrived at the internet cafe, Huo Miao had not yet arrived.
Li Huan told him, "Station number 91."
Huang Xiaochuan nodded and ordered, "Report this internet cafe." Then he went into the internet cafe.
Li Huan immediately dialed the cultural administration department's hotline to report that minors were using the internet at the internet cafe.
Once inside, he quickly spotted Liu Jin, who was engrossed in playing a game. Huang Xiaochuan walked behind her and looked at her computer screen for a while. This girl was playing World of Warcraft, and it seemed like she was at a pretty high level, with excellent equipment, which meant she had spent a lot of money.
Liu Jin was still shouting at the screen; it turned out he was leading his teammates in a dungeon and giving commands through his headset.
Huang Xiaochuan coughed a few times on purpose at first, but the girl was engrossed in the story and didn't hear him at all.
Huang Xiaochuan could only pat her on the shoulder.
To his surprise, the girl didn't even turn her head, and said with dissatisfaction, "What's wrong! It's not time yet!" She mistook Huang Xiaochuan for the internet cafe manager.
Huang Xiaochuan patted her again, and she turned around angrily. Just as she was about to curse, she saw that the person who patted her shoulder was her uncle, and she was immediately dumbfounded.
"My maternal uncle?"
Huang Xiaochuan pointed to the headset she was wearing, indicating that she should take it off.
Liu Jin quickly stood up and took off her headset. She saw that her mother had also arrived and was glaring at her angrily. If it weren't for her uncle, the two of them would probably have started fighting again.
Huang Xiaochuan's face darkened as he asked, "Why did you skip class?"
Liu Jin lowered her head and twirled her fingers in front of her chest, a small gesture she made when she felt guilty.
Huang Xiaochuan looked at her, then looked around. This wasn't the place to talk.
"Let's go home."
"Oh!" Liu Jin obediently agreed, and when she walked to her mother Zeng Xia's side, Zeng Xia couldn't help but give her a smack.
"What are you doing?" Huang Xiaochuan quickly stopped Zeng Xia.
He was speechless. As the saying goes, you shouldn't educate your children in public. Children have self-esteem too. He had told his second sister countless times, but she just ignored him.
When they arrived at the door, Huo Miao also arrived. Seeing that his daughter was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked his brother-in-law.
Huang Xiaochuan waved his hand and said, "Let's go. We can talk about it when we get home. Liu Jin will ride in my car, and Second Sister will ride in yours."
The internet cafe managers watched this scene with curiosity. Apart from the cashier at the counter, the other three managers ran outside to watch the excitement. The scene was quite grand, with a row of black Cadillac Escalades parked at the entrance, interspersed with a blue Range Rover, which belonged to Huo Miao.
Only then did they realize that the little girl who had been playing with them for almost a day was actually a young lady from a wealthy family. They had actually encountered a scene that only existed in movies and television.
Unfortunately, shortly after the convoy left, the cultural administration's enforcement team arrived. Seven minors were caught red-handed surfing the internet in the cafe. The enforcement team immediately issued a written notice ordering the cafe to suspend operations for rectification. The internet cafe owner was devastated.
On the way, Huang Xiaochuan asked his niece, "Do you know you were wrong?"
Liu Jin nodded without speaking. She was still a little afraid of her uncle. When she was little, she didn't know what fear was, but as she grew older, she realized that her uncle was the most powerful person in the family, so she both admired and feared him.
Seeing Liu Jin like this, Huang Xiaochuan felt disappointed and frustrated, but the girl was almost fifteen and going through a rebellious phase of adolescence, so he had to be careful how he spoke to her.
"Tell me about your future plans, not too far ahead, just talk about the high school entrance exam!"
Whenever the topic of studies comes up, Liu Jin has a whole host of questions, but since it's her uncle asking, she can't not answer.
"Take the high school entrance exam."
Huang Xiaochuan was amused and asked her, "Are you confident you'll pass the exam?"
