It was a tall man with a somewhat cold and feminine face. He gave Hao Jifei a strange sense of familiarity as if he had seen the man's face somewhere before.
He was too young to know that the sense of familiarity was due to his own resemblance to the man in front of him.
"You're Hao Jifei and you're five years old this year. Your mother is Hao Yimeng, right?" the man asked.
Hao Jifei looked at him warily. "Who are you?"
"I'm from the Shen family of Deer City, Shen Weifang," the man said.
Anyone else would probably be surprised to hear this name. Shen Weifang and the Shen family were well-known in Deer City. The Shen family's status in Deer City was tantamount to the Yi family's status in Shen City.
However, for a child such as Hao Jifei, he did not understand the weight of those words. His eyes were still full of caution. "What do you want to do? Are you... Are you going to tell the other kids in kindergarten that my mother was a criminal?"
That was the greatest threat to him.
He did not care that others would laugh at him or even treat him maliciously when they found out that he was the son of a criminal. He just did not want Lil Jin to fight others for him.
Seeing her getting hurt from fighting made him feel worse than if he were to get himself hurt!
"I'm not that bored to tell other kids such a thing. I just want to tell you that I'm your biological father. I came to Shen City to take you away," Shen Weifang told him his reason for coming here.
Hao Jifei looked at the man before him with shock. His young voice asked the question in disbelief, "You're my... daddy?"
"Yes," Shen Weifang answered affirmatively.
Shen Weifang said as he reached out one hand to his son.
This child would be his only child. He would take good care of him and nurture him.
However, the little one unexpectedly did not put his hand in his. The expression on his face was obviously one of... rejection!
Yes, rejection!
What Shen Weifang had said was a great temptation to children like Hao Jifei, but it did not work the way he expected.
Shen Weifang said, "Don't you want to return to Deer City with me? Once you're in Deer City, you'll have a bunch of people waiting on you. You can have the best piano, the best teachers, and any toy you want."
