At this mont, Mrs. Zhou finally caught up, struggling in her high heels. She stood beside Li Xiaoya, slightly out of breath, and asked, "Where's Young Master Qin?"
The few people left in the classroom exchanged glances and laughed, saying, "Oh, here cos another 37-year-old."
Mrs. Zhou imdiately gritted her teeth in anger, "Who's 37?"
Her daughter, Zhou Xiaoshu, quickly retorted angrily, "Don't talk about my mom like that!"
Hearing this, Li Xiaoya looked at Zhou Xiaoshu more closely, finally taking in her appearance properly.
"Alright, enough joking around," soone nearby diated, taking his legs off the desk. He leaned his arm against the window, stuck his head out, and asked, "What do you want with Young Master Qin?"
"I have so business with him."
"What kind of business? If you don't tell us, how can we help you contact him?" The person revealed a mischievous grin, deliberately teasing Li Xiaoya.
Li Xiaoya didn't want people to know they had brought a lot of money.
After a mont of silence, she could only stiffly mutter, "Well... I just missed him."
The people in the classroom exchanged surprised glances.
No one knew better than them...
The two young masters in their class, Young Master Qin and Young Master Sheng, were known to scare children to tears and were definitely not the type kids liked.
Especially Qin Sui, even his own sister didn't want to play with him.
Where on earth did this kid co from?
"She looks a bit familiar," soone suddenly said.
Back in Li Family Village, Li Xiaoya's appearance and attire were different, and she was always covered in dirt.
So even though so of them had seen a bit of the variety show content before, they couldn't imdiately recognize that this was Li Xiaoya.
"Alright, you're cute, I'll call him for you," the person said with a grin, shrugging, "Let's hope Young Master Qin doesn't hang up on ."
He dialed the number.
At this ti, Qin Sui had just entered the Western restaurant near the school.
A subordinate asked, "Boss, did you take that box to the elentary school today? To see Li Xiaoya?"
"Mm."
"She must have been very happy, right? That little girl hasn't seen much of the world, who else would give her such nice things?"
Qin Sui: "..."
How could she be happy? Li Xiaoya didn't even recognize what it was. It wasn't as important to her as her classes.
Yet at this mont, the subordinate was particularly tactless and continued, "I'm not saying this, but this Li Xiaoya treats you and Sheng Yuxiao so differently. Why is that? Is it because you were particularly cold to her when you first went to record the show? Why is this little girl so hard to warm up to? Did you see the live broadcast the other day? Li Xiaoya even took Sheng Yuxiao ho for dinner..."
Qin Sui: "......"
He really didn't want to hear this.
It just so happened that Qin Sui usually thought everyone around him was stupid, so he couldn't be bothered to talk to them. He just coldly observed their stupidity. This was completely different from Sheng Yuxiao's strong controlling style.
As a result, this subordinate beca increasingly tactless.
He continued to chatter, "You gave her a gift, at least she should say a few sweet words to you, right?"
Qin Sui couldn't stand it anymore: "That thing was ant as an apology."
"An apology? What are you apologizing to her for?"
"The recording."
"Oh, but didn't that fail to drive a wedge between her and Sheng Yuxiao?"
Indeed. It's a bit of a pity, Qin Sui thought to himself.
But his face showed no emotion.
The subordinate was about to say sothing else when Qin Sui's phone suddenly rang.
Perfect... Qin Sui didn't want to listen to his tactless nonsense anymore, so he answered the call.
"Young Master Qin," ca the voice from the other end, "there's a little girl here looking for you, about six or seven years old, she says she misses you."
Qin Sui's first thought was—
His sister Qin Yue?
But this didn't seem like his sister's style.
Who else could it be?
... Li Xiaoya?
Not very likely.
Those kinds of words would have to be coaxed out of her mouth.
Qin Sui wanted to hang up, but on a whim, he said, "Take a photo and let see."
Half a minute later, Qin Sui received the photo.
The annoyance from listening to tactless nonsense all the way here instantly vanished from his chest.
Qin Sui put away his phone and said calmly, "Who says she treats and Sheng Yuxiao differently?"
"...Huh?"
"She's waiting for at the classroom door."
"...Huh?"
Qin Sui pushed open the door and walked out.
The subordinate hurriedly followed, "Boss! Aren't we eating?"
When Qin Sui returned to the classroom door, he imdiately saw Li Xiaoya sitting on a large bag.
For a mont, it was as if he was back in Li Family Village.
She was still that pitiful little duckling sitting silently on the doorstep, waiting.
Except back then, she was waiting for Sheng Yuxiao. Today, she was waiting for him!
"Li Xiaoya," he called softly.
Qin Sui felt that just an audio recording wasn't enough at this mont, he should have recorded a video. To capture the image of Li Xiaoya waiting for him at the classroom door.
Li Xiaoya jumped up with a start.
Qin Sui asked softly, "You missed ?"
Li Xiaoya shook her head, then nodded, and went to tug at his sleeve, pulling him aside to whisper, "There's money in the bag."
"Money?"
"Mm!"
"Where did it co from?" Qin Sui had actually guessed by now.
"From selling the bag."
Qin Sui imdiately went over and unzipped the bag, causing an exclamation: "Holy shit!"
"Young Master Qin, this little girl brought money to find you?"
"This is the first ti I've seen a kid bringing you money!"
The corners of Qin Sui's mouth softened into a gentle curve.
He thought to himself, it's my first ti seeing it too.
He lowered his head and roughly counted.
There was a lot of money, exactly 608,000 yuan, seemingly deliberately rounded to an auspicious number.
Qin Sui said softly, "Looks like this gift wasn't a mistake after all."
He had chosen a bag that wasn't really suitable for Li Xiaoya, but once it was in her hands, it quickly fulfilled its purpose in just a few short hours.
How did she manage to do it, quickly identify a buyer and sell it without any hesitation?
At this mont, Li Xiaoya also walked over, looking a bit nervous: "Is it okay to open it like this?"
Qin Sui said, "It's fine, who would dare to rob ?"
Li Xiaoya let out a sigh of relief, so her decision was correct. Hmm, splitting it in half didn't seem quite right. She thought of Mrs. Zhou. So she said in a low voice, "I'll give you 400,000."
Qin Sui's breath hitched for a mont.
She really had co all this way to bring him money!
It was as if they were back in Li Family Village, selling mushrooms together, and Li Xiaoya was dividing the money with him in the sa way.
From a few hundred yuan to hundreds of thousands.
She grew up in a poor place, but she handled such a large sum of money quite decisively.
"I give you an apology gift, and you return 400,000 to ... Li Xiaoya..." Qin Sui was montarily at a loss for words to describe her. He stared at her intensely, finally sighing and saying, "This is truly an investnt with a higher return than any fund."
The bag itself wasn't worth much to him.
400,000 yuan wasn't much in the eyes of a young master either.
But coming from Li Xiaoya's hands... that was different.
"Why not split it in half like before? I'd be fine with just half," Qin Sui asked.
Li Xiaoya pointed to Mrs. Zhou nearby: "Because she only decided to buy it after hearing your na."
Mrs. Zhou's heart leapt with joy.
This kid really knew how to handle people!
Qin Sui nodded slightly towards Mrs. Zhou and asked, "How should I address you?"
"Liu ng, my husband is Zhou Xu."
Qin Sui nodded: "So you're the wife of Mr. Zhou from Dream Creation Gas."
Although Qin Sui was younger, he seed to have the upper hand in front of Liu ng.
"Yes, yes," Liu ng responded, but didn't know how to make small talk.
After all, her husband often scolded her for being a brainless trophy wife.
Qin Sui spoke again, asking, "Mrs. Zhou seems to like collecting these limited editions?"
"Yes, it's just that these are quite difficult to get..."
"No problem, I can have them keep an eye out for you in the future, and contact you as soon as new items arrive."
These words excited Liu ng trendously.
"Thank you, Young Master Qin!" Liu ng said imdiately.
Qin Sui said, "That's not right."
Liu ng was taken aback.
Her daughter quickly tugged at her mother's dress and whispered, "Thank Xiaoya."
Liu ng realized and reached out to pat Li Xiaoya's head: "Thank you, little one."
But Qin Sui raised his hand to block her, saying, "Even I'm not allowed to pat her head."
Qin Sui said this, but his eyes were watching Li Xiaoya's expression from the corner of his eye. He was betting on whether Li Xiaoya would relent and let him pat her head.
...At this mont, if soone were to call Sheng Yuxiao and invite him over as well, it would be even more delightful.
