Chapter 140: Different Invitation
Chapter 140
"Fine, choose whatever you like," Qin Sui stopped in his tracks. "Who's waiting for you at the entrance? Not your family?"
"A dangerous person."
"Is that why you're saying goodbye so early? You don't want me to meet them?"
"Mm-hmm."
"Then how did you end up dealing with such a person?"
"Because it's necessary."
Qin Sui didn't say anything more. He just said, "You should go."
Qin Sui was actually the kind of person who enjoyed walking on a tightrope, just as Wei Xuanming had hoped.
So... he would also like someone who walked the same tightrope.
Qin Sui, who had never been particularly interested in birthdays, suddenly found himself looking forward to his own birthday with unusual anticipation.
Meanwhile, Li Xiaoya walked to the school gate. Most of the other students had already left, which made Ke Muning's tall figure stand out even more as he waited there.
"I thought you'd been kidnapped. I was about to turn this place upside down looking for you," Ke Muning said, bending down.
Li Xiaoya routinely handed her backpack to a nearby bodyguard and said, "Got into a fight, so I'm late."
"A fight? Who dares to fight with you?" Ke Muning furrowed his brow. "Do they want to add more stuff to the villa?"
"It wasn't them. It was, um, fourth graders, older than me," Li Xiaoya could now communicate with him haltingly.
As long as the phrases weren't too complex.
"Looks like you're the winner."
"Mm-hmm."
Ke Muning immediately asked her about the whole process, which was then relayed through translation.
After listening, he said with satisfaction, "You're not just a little madwoman, you could be a little demon king now."
"If you could control all the kids in this elite school..." That would be incredibly promising!
But Li Xiaoya sighed and said, "That would be really tiring."
Ke Muning: ?
Li Xiaoya looked up and said, "Wouldn't everyone come crying to me with their complaints?"
Ke Muning laughed, "You don't think that's good? ...But in Sicily, that's called being the Godfather."
Wouldn't parents in any big family be happy about this?
For a moment, Ke Muning thought about what he had said before... the Gui family could never raise a child like this.
The Gui family would be better off destroyed!
Ke Muning was still daydreaming.
Li Xiaoya hesitated for a moment, then said, "Being a Godfather is illegal in this country."
"..."
"Well, maybe... you could permanently reside abroad?" Ke Muning asked, not giving up.
Li Xiaoya said, "No."
Ke Muning closed the car door unhappily, evaluating himself, "I'm like an unofficial stepfather who hasn't got a legal marriage certificate."
His subordinates didn't dare to respond.
Usually, it's adults who go out without children, but here it was reversed: the child going out without the adult.
Meanwhile, Li Xiaoya had already walked to the entrance with her little bag.
The attendant at the door looked at her in surprise.
"You're... alone? Where are your parents?"
"Mm, I'm alone," Li Xiaoya took out the invitation and handed it over.
"When have you ever seen a child come with an invitation by themselves? She doesn't look dressed for an evening party either. Better check that invitation carefully and contact her parents to see if she stole it from them," someone suddenly said from the side.
Li Xiaoya was dressed in fluffy clothes, not wearing a little dress, indeed not looking like she was there for an evening party.
She frowned slightly and turned to look.
There stood a couple with a pair of twins.
The attendant paused for a moment and said, "Please wait, I'll check the invitation..."
The woman glanced at it and said, "It doesn't look stolen, more like it's fake. This invitation is different from ours."
The woman spread out her own invitation as she spoke.
Li Xiaoya stretched her neck to take a look.
...It really was different.
Their invitation was printed.
Hers, however, was handwritten.
Theirs didn't have a name at the beginning, but hers started with "Li Xiaoya:"
Not far away, Miss Xing Siyun, who had once been matched with the Gui family brothers, was standing there with her grandmother.
"Isn't that the Gui family's child? Is she in trouble?"
"Don't go over there," Old Mrs. Feng said coldly.
"Didn't you tell me to get on the good side of the Gui family? Although I still don't understand what's so impressive about them."
"To save our family's business, we need to rely on them... and this child will hinder your benefits in the Gui family."
"How could she hinder me?"
"She's currently the only able-bodied person in the Gui family. She might inherit the entire family business."
"A little girl can inherit the family business?" Xing Siyun was stunned, a hint of mockery and a touch of envy flashing in her eyes.
"The old man wants to choose a male heir, but does their family have one?" Old Mrs. Feng finished speaking and lowered her eyes to look at Xing Siyun's belly.
Xing Siyun immediately understood.
"The old man is very good to her now, but he'll be even better to you in the future," Old Mrs. Feng said, then turned her head to look in another direction. "That's the Mu family's car arriving. Come with me to greet them."
Xing Siyun took a breath, nodded, and said, "He is indeed very good to her. Such a small child, and her room is filled with so much gold."
