Chapter 81: Qin Sui Must Have Used Sorcery
Chapter 81: Qin Sui Must Have Used Sorcery
Chapter 81
Qin Sui watched from afar as Sheng Yuxiao picked up his phone and tapped the screen.
"Alright, let's go," Qin Sui said to the driver.
The driver was stunned. "Huh? We're leaving already?"
Qin Sui's sidekick was equally confused: "Boss, you chased Sheng Yuxiao all the way here, and that's it?"
Qin Sui tapped on the car window. "If we don't leave now, Sheng Yuxiao might end up smashing our car."
The sidekick: ???
At this moment, the live streaming platform's comment section exploded.
[That's right, I listened twice to confirm - that's definitely Li Xiaoya's voice]
[I don't dare to imagine Sheng Yuxiao's expression right now]
[Wow, what kind of sorcery did Qin Sui use to make Li Xiaoya call him that?]
[From not even getting a bite of Li Xiaoya's food to today's "Qin Sui brother," what on earth happened in between? I'm so curious, help!]
[Production team, why didn't you follow and film this? I'm dying of curiosity too!]
[Say no more, I'm here to sharpen knives for Young Master Sheng!]
The production team hadn't expected that even at this late stage of the show, they'd still get such dramatic content.
They were all dumbfounded.
And Li Xiaoya was also stunned...
The little girl from the small mountain village had no idea that such black technology as phone recording existed in this world.
"You knew there was a show being recorded, you knew I'd be meeting you at the school gate right at this time, so you timed your message perfectly..." Sheng Yuxiao said in a heavy tone, putting Li Xiaoya down and turning his head.
Ning Heng had just gotten out of the car and caught up.
Sheng Yuxiao said to him, "Qin Sui's car is nearby. Go check it out."
Ning Heng was surprised: "Huh? Qin Sui is nearby? Damn!"
Sheng Yuxiao said, "Smash his car. I'll pay for the damages."
Ning Heng immediately turned and stormed off to find the car, looking fierce.
Qin Sui's car had already driven far away. His sidekick, peering out the window, could feel Sheng Yuxiao's anger and Ning Heng's murderous aura from afar.
"Good thing we got away fast."
After saying this, the sidekick turned his head to see that Qin Sui had already closed his eyes.
Mainly because he didn't want to stay and watch Li Xiaoya comfort Sheng Yuxiao.
Qin Sui thought to himself.
He knew Li Xiaoya would definitely comfort Sheng Yuxiao.
...
Meanwhile, Li Xiaoya gently tugged on Sheng Yuxiao's sleeve and asked, "Are you angry?"
Sheng Yuxiao lowered his head and bent down: "How could I be angry? Everyone knows how devious Qin Sui is. He must have forced you to do it."
[Laughing so hard, yes yes, it must be Qin Sui who forced her]
Li Xiaoya hesitated, feeling that this wasn't right.
"He didn't really force me..." she said softly.
"Oh, then he must have told you that if you didn't call him brother, he wouldn't help you. That's still coercion."
[That's right, no matter what you say today, it was definitely Qin Sui who forced you!]
The comments section chimed in.
"Sheng bro." Ning Heng came back empty-handed after a short while. "I didn't see Qin Sui's car. Did you guess wrong?"
Sheng Yuxiao sneered: "It's impossible that I guessed wrong. He must have already run away."
"Damn! He ran pretty fast then!"
[I have to say, Qin Sui is really experienced at doing bad things...]
Ning Heng continued to offer suggestions: "We'll crush his class in the football match at the end of the semester!"
"Mm." Sheng Yuxiao responded indifferently, taking Li Xiaoya's backpack from her and holding it in his hand. "Let's go buy you a new one."
Wei Lin witnessed the entire process and thought mockingly to himself that this Young Master Sheng seemed quite sentimental.
Was the Sheng family really letting him be like this?
In comparison, the Qin family's heir seemed more rational.
Wei Lin suppressed the countless thoughts in his mind and interjected: "I'm sorry, Young Master Sheng. I need to take Xiaoya home. Her grandfather is waiting for her."
[Wow, she's really going home to meet her relatives?]
[I thought this guy wasn't up to any good, but he's actually taking Xiaoya to meet her grandfather]
Sheng Yuxiao was tall, even taller than the adult Wei Lin.
He looked down at Wei Lin, finally displaying the arrogance befitting a young master from a wealthy family.
"It's not like I'm taking Xiaoya away and not letting her go home. Why are you in such a hurry?" Sheng Yuxiao paused, then said, "Although I'd like to do that, unfortunately, I can't."
"I'm sorry, but our family rules are strict. Please understand, Young Master Sheng." Wei Lin didn't budge an inch.
[Huh? What kind of family rules? The bond between Li Xiaoya and Sheng Yuxiao was formed back in Li Family Village, isn't it deeper than yours? What's wrong with him taking her to buy a new bag?]
[Hmm... it seems like the people in this family might not be easy to get along with]
[Will Li Xiaoya suffer?]
[That would be too pitiful, suffering before coming home and still suffering after coming home. Being a rich family's daughter isn't easy either!]
While the comments were still sympathizing with Li Xiaoya, Sheng Yuxiao simply grabbed her and put her in the car.
"I'll personally bring her home in two hours!"
Wei Lin? Who cares about him? When Young Master Sheng decides to ignore someone, he ignores them.
Wei Lin could only watch helplessly as Sheng Yuxiao swiftly closed the car door and drove away.
Once in the car, Li Xiaoya rummaged through her backpack and pulled out an orange.
"For you," she offered it to Sheng Yuxiao.
"Where did you get this?"
"It was left over from lunch."
For others, giving leftover food might seem disrespectful.
But for them, it was different.
[Aww, reminds me of when they were at Shitou School, and Li Xiaoya would bring eggs home for Sheng Yuxiao]
[I don't know if Sheng Yuxiao is touched, but I certainly am]
Sheng Yuxiao's lips moved slightly as he took the orange. Then he ruffled Li Xiaoya's hair vigorously, saying, "See, without me to comb your hair, it's all messy today. Not pretty anymore."
[Wasn't it you who just messed it up?]
But Li Xiaoya nodded and said, "Qin Sui invited me to his family's vineyard."
[Oh no, Xiaoya, don't! You just managed to appease your Sheng brother, and now you're making him jealous again?]
On camera, Sheng Yuxiao frowned.
But then he heard Li Xiaoya say, "Come with me."
Sheng Yuxiao's brow immediately smoothed out, his lips curling into a smile as he replied, "Alright."
He was already imagining the delightful scene of Qin Sui seeing him and Li Xiaoya walking in together.
[Good, good, good. The familiar taste of Li Xiaoya. In the competition of appeasing Sheng Yuxiao, you'd definitely rank first.]
The impact of the earlier voice recording had completely dissipated by this point.
Sheng Yuxiao quickly took her to buy a new backpack. After transferring the contents from the old bag, he was about to throw it in the trash.
Li Xiaoya grabbed his hand: "Don't throw it away."
"Hm?"
"Keep it."
"What's the point of keeping this thing?"
Li Xiaoya held onto the strap of the old backpack tightly, saying softly, "Just... keep it."
It was the first time since her mother passed away that she had felt such an overwhelming, intense, undisguised... happiness enveloping her.
Sheng Yuxiao had to let go and say, "Alright, if you say keep it, we'll keep it."
After saying this, he thought for a moment and couldn't help but smile, "So if I buy you something every year, are you going to keep every single item?"
Li Xiaoya nodded, then shook her head and said, "You don't need to buy something every year."
"Why not?"
"Wasteful."
"Haha." Sheng Yuxiao happily pinched her cheek. It had been a long time since he'd done that, so he couldn't resist pinching it a couple more times.
Then he said, "It's not wasteful. How could spending on you be wasteful? It's just that if we keep too many old things, there won't be enough room at home."
Li Xiaoya thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll work hard and buy a big house to store them all."
"Alright." Sheng Yuxiao tossed the backpack to Ning Heng to hold, then bent down to pick up Li Xiaoya. "Let's go home! Otherwise, your grandfather might really not let me see you next time."
"He won't. Actually, grandfather is easy to please too."
Sheng Yuxiao clicked his tongue.
Is that so?
That's different from what Uncle said...
He'd heard that Wei Xuanming was a very tough person, particularly strict with his children.
Such a person... easy to please?
Meanwhile.
In a Chinese garden-style residence, Wei Wenjuan and Wei Wenqing were rarely sitting at the same dining table with their father.
This meal finally had a bit of a family dinner feel to it.
Family... dinner.
These two words seemed to belong to the last century.
But the father and sons, who were usually either at odds or coldly facing each other, were unusually harmonious at this moment.
All just to wait for Li Xiaoya to come home from school and have their first "reunion dinner" together.
They waited and waited.
A gust of wind swept through the courtyard, instantly evoking a sense of desolation reminiscent of an empty-nester.
Old Master Wei, who rarely hosted banquets, was in a foul mood. He suddenly stood up and struck Wei Lin with his cane.
"You said the one who took away Little Duck was the Sheng family's eldest young master. What was his name again?"
"...Sheng Yuxiao," Wei Lin swallowed his cry of pain.
"Put up a sign at the entrance..." "It should read, 'Sheng Yuxiao Not Allowed Entry.'"
