chapter 48 Two people facing each other tit for tat

Andrew Li did not notice the two little ones in the car, realizing he was late, he strode into the kindergarten. As soon as he entered, he saw the two people standing by the slide, and Nora, who was almost nestled in Ja Jiang's arms. "Nora’s dad, you're here!" The teacher saw the newcomer at a glance and immediately greeted him respectfully. Andrew Li nodded slightly, walked up to the three of them, glanced at his own daughter, and then looked coldly at Ja Jiang, "Why are you here?" Sensing the hostility emanating from the man, Ja Jiang furrowed her brows inexplicably. On the side, the teacher looked at them in surprise, "Do you... know each other?" Just a moment ago, she thought that Ja Jiang didn't know Nora. But considering Nora's dependence on Ja Jiang, it wasn't difficult to imagine that they might know each other. Ja Jiang nodded without expressing a clear opinion to the teacher, then met the man's gaze, "I came to pick up my child from school, but your daughter held onto my clothes and wouldn't let go, so I had to stay here with her." Hearing the three words "your daughter" coming from her mouth, Andrew Li's face suddenly darkened. This woman was saying such things in front of his daughter; she was truly ruthless! Ja Jiang didn't know what she had said wrong, but she saw the man's face suddenly darken and his gaze turn cold as he looked at the little girl by her side. "Come here." Andrew Li reached out to Nora with a stern expression. Nora looked at her dad's outstretched hand and then glanced at the beautiful aunt by her side. Her eyes were filled with reluctance and a touch of grievance. She had finally been able to be with the beautiful aunt, but why was Dad being so stern... Time passed, and Nora still didn't let go, and Andrew Li's expression became even darker. Ja Jiang finally lowered her gaze, bent down, and patted the little girl's head, comforting her, "Your dad has come to pick you up. Go with him quickly, Auntie has to leave." After saying that, she stood up straight, planning to leave as soon as Nora let go. However, Nora still didn't release her grip, paying no attention to Andrew Li's darkening expression, and simply stared at Ja Jiang with big, pleading eyes. She didn't know why, but she really liked this aunt, and she even wanted to go home with this beautiful aunt... The atmosphere became somewhat tense. The teacher was about to say something to defuse the situation when Andrew Li, who had been silent all this while, suddenly acted. "Nora, let go and go with Dad." Andrew Li walked up to Nora with long strides and used a tone of authority he had never used before. Nora was frightened by his tone, clutching Ja Jiang's hand tightly and leaning toward her involuntarily. She had been standing at the edge of the slide, and when she tried to move her feet, she didn't look down and nearly fell off the platform. Ja Jiang's heart tightened suddenly, and she reached out to support her just in time to barely steady the little girl's body. The little girl still didn't want to let go of her, so she could only hold her, afraid that the little girl would fall again. Once the little girl was settled, Ja Jiang couldn't help but furrow her brows, "Andrew Li, if you have any grievances with me, you can come to me directly. Why are you getting angry with a child?" Andrew Li had also seen that scene but hadn't had a chance to intervene until now. Hearing her words, he responded in a similarly unpleasant tone, "How I treat my daughter has nothing to do with Miss Jiang. Do you think that just because my daughter is closer to you, you have the right to interfere?" The tension between the two was palpable. Hearing his sarcastic tone, Ja Jiang's face darkened, and she felt a sense of anger she couldn't quite explain.
