Stolen Life of the Poor Girl, Top Luxury Family's Group Favor

Chapter 97

After finishing the phone call with his son, Wei Xuanming summoned his subordinate: "Go investigate where the young miss and the second young master went last night, what they talked about, and who they met."

The subordinate reminded him with some difficulty: "Sir, this is Hua Country. We can't just investigate as we please."

Wei Xuanming: "..."

He rubbed his forehead and said, "Forget it. Perhaps... perhaps Little Duck is going to give this old man another surprise."

Meanwhile, as soon as Li Xiaoya arrived at school, Zhou Xiaoshu approached her and said, "Thank you."

Then she placed a box of pastries on Li Xiaoya's desk.

"They're from Sweet Cheese House on West Street. I queued for a long time," Zhou Xiaoshu paused, then said with a blush, "Thank you. Mom is very happy, and so is Dad."

Li Xiaoya picked up the pastry box: "Oh, you have to queue for these?"

Zhou Xiaoshu: ??

The classmates who had been eavesdropping couldn't hold back anymore and gathered around to ask, "Li Xiaoya, have you had these before? Why don't you need to queue?"

Li Xiaoya was also confused: "I don't know."

It was just that one day when she was passing by on her way home from school, she had looked twice at the pastry shop because of its unique design. The next day, Wei Lin had sent his driver to buy her some small cakes from the shop.

"Did her family buy Sweet Cheese House?" a child guessed.

"How is that possible? I also want my dad to buy it, but he said no. Being greedy for such things isn't something I should do. Even if I wanted to buy a shop that specializes in princess dresses, it would be a bit more high-class than buying a pastry shop," another child refuted.

However, it was clear that she didn't understand why this would be more high-class.

An Ying chimed in, "We can't eat sweets, we can't let dopamine control our brains, and we need to maintain our figures. Otherwise, we can't be part of high society."

Their parents had all taught them the same things.

After hearing their conversation, Li Xiaoya thought that maybe Wei Lin really had bought the shop.

Because Wei Lin didn't want her to be part of high society.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoshu beside her looked a bit worried: "Do you still want this?"

Li Xiaoya put the box into her desk drawer and nodded.

Zhou Xiaoshu immediately felt relieved and said in a low voice, "Next time at piano class, come with me."

Feeling that wasn't enough, she then said loudly to the surrounding classmates, "From now on, none of you are allowed to bully Li Xiaoya! Bullying her is the same as bullying me, and I know Xue Qi from fifth grade!"

Knowing someone from a higher grade, knowing someone whose family was even richer: these were hard currency in the elementary school!

Zhou Xiaoshu sat back down, satisfied after saying all this in one breath.

An Ying shook her head secretly.

Li Xiaoya could fight too, she had even beaten up the fifth-grade leader!

It seemed Zhou Xiaoshu still hadn't figured out the situation.

Coincidentally, the fourth period in the morning was piano class.

Arriving at the familiar music classroom, Li Xiaoya's piano hadn't been set up yet. The teacher was about to ask her to come to her side when Zhou Xiaoshu pulled her away.

"Today, let's try to play 'Allemande'."

The somewhat chaotic piano sounds filled the classroom.

Zhou Xiaoshu didn't join their practice. She leaned close to Li Xiaoya's ear, slowly teaching her to read music.

The parts that Zhou Xiaoshu had found difficult when she first learned piano, she now specifically picked out to teach Li Xiaoya.

Before they knew it, the class was almost over.

The teacher instinctively glanced out the window, and with this glance, she was stunned again.

Why was Young Master Qin here again?

Qin Sui stood outside the window, silently watching Zhou Xiaoshu teach Li Xiaoya to read music and recognize keys.

Had that child already cozied up to her so quickly?

The class bell suddenly rang.

The students rushed out, and when they suddenly saw Qin Sui, they were startled again.

"Qin Yue's brother is here again?"

"Is he here to see Li Xiaoya again?"

They weren't particularly afraid of Qin Sui, after all, he was from the high school section. He was considered a big kid who wouldn't bother to play with them or beat up elementary school kids like them.

They were just full of curiosity.

Why did Qin Yue's brother keep coming to see Li Xiaoya?

Meanwhile, Zhou Xiaoshu accompanied Li Xiaoya as they slowly stepped out of the classroom. Qin Sui immediately strode over to meet them, asking, "How's the learning going?"

"I've learned a little bit."

"That day, were you really just there to find Sheng Yuxiao?" Qin Sui finally asked what he really wanted to know.

Before Li Xiaoya could answer, Qin Sui pointed at Zhou Xiaoshu and said, "That day she was following behind you. You wouldn't have brought her along to find Sheng Yuxiao for no reason, that wouldn't be appropriate. So you must have been there to see me. After all, she and her mother have already met me, there's a connection. Tell me, what's the matter? Does she need something from me?"

Zhou Xiaoshu stared in shock, her eyes wide.

How did he guess without her even saying anything?

"The matter has been resolved," Li Xiaoya said.

"Resolved?" Qin Sui lowered his eyes, "Did Sheng Yuxiao resolve it? That's not like his style."

"Even if it's resolved, you should be able to tell me what it was about, right?" Qin Sui promptly asked.

But Li Xiaoya firmly shook her head: "I can't say, it involves business secrets."

Qin Sui was a bit disappointed, but didn't show it on his face.

He just looked at Zhou Xiaoshu: "I have something to say to Li Xiaoya."

"Huh?" Zhou Xiaoshu stared at her blankly.

Qin Sui felt displeased, thinking that indeed not everyone could be like Li Xiaoya.

He had to speak more plainly: "Others can't listen."

"Oh, oh." Zhou Xiaoshu awkwardly covered her head and walked away.

After walking a few steps, she couldn't help but look back. What was he saying to Li Xiaoya? Zhou Xiaoshu couldn't imagine.

Because kids of Qin Sui's age never had anything in common with them. How could Li Xiaoya talk to them?

Oh, is this what Dad wants me to learn?

Zhou Xiaoshu walked away, suddenly enlightened.

"Several brands are about to release their New Year limited editions," Qin Sui said in a low voice.

Li Xiaoya tilted her head in confusion.

Qin Sui lowered his voice even more: "Li Xiaoya, do you want to try doing a few more business deals?"

He quite liked Li Xiaoya's behavior of selling things and then secretly coming to "split the loot" with him behind Sheng Yuxiao's back.

Meanwhile, Liu Meng went to attend another rich ladies' gathering.

As she pushed open the door, the wind chimes jingled, and the people inside who had been talking suddenly fell silent.

Liu Meng realized... were they discussing her?

"Why are you here?" Madam Liu was the first to stand up and greet her.

Liu Meng was bewildered: "Am I not allowed to come?"

Not only had she come, but she had also changed into the new bag her husband had just bought for her.

Madam Liu's expression was strange, but she didn't say anything. The other rich ladies exchanged glances, with mocking smiles at the corners of their mouths.

Telling such a big lie and still daring to come?

As Liu Meng sat down, she was still pondering how to naturally mention that she had also gotten acquainted with Young Master Sheng.
