Chapter 22: Rushing to Support Little Duck Li

Chapter 22

Sheng Jun's expression darkened. "Sheng Yuxiao, you can't use foul language in front of children."

Sheng Yuxiao immediately changed his demeanor, lowering his head to address Li Xiaoya, "What I said just now was wrong. Don't learn from me, okay?"

Li Xiaoya nodded.

Sheng Yuxiao picked her up and brought her to the edge of the bed, letting Li Xiaoya sit on his hospital bed.

"Has Qin Sui been bullying you?" Sheng Yuxiao asked.

Before Li Xiaoya could answer, Li Qingqing couldn't bear it any longer.

She had been ignored.

She had actually been ignored just like that!

"Xiaoya, do you remember me?" Li Qingqing suddenly spoke up.

Sheng Yuxiao, somewhat annoyed at being interrupted, gave her a cold sidelong glance.

Li Xiaoya turned her head, looking confused. "You..."

Li Qingqing was wearing a beautiful princess dress, a tiara on her head, and showed signs of being well-cared for.

Li Xiaoya shook her head. "I don't know you."

"No, you do know me. I'm Li Qingqing!" Li Qingqing couldn't help but take a step forward.

[Ah, now that Li Xiaoya and Li Qingqing are standing together, I suddenly realize how terribly Li Xiaoya has been living]

[+1, Li Qingqing looks like a little princess]

[And Li Xiaoya still has to take care of two 'brothers' who can't fend for themselves]

[Don't say that, the two 'brothers' have put in some effort]

On screen, Li Xiaoya was still examining Li Qingqing.

She vaguely remembered a girl a year older than her in the village chief's family, called Li Qingqing.

Her only impression was from last year when Li Qingqing's mother brought her back to the village. Li Qingqing was crying, refusing to walk, and kicked a pebble on the road.

Li Xiaoya was picking through trash in the ditch by the roadside at the time.

The pebble flew past, grazing her eye.

She straightened up, holding onto the road, and looked up at Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing's father was giving her a calcium milk drink, while her mother was coaxing her, "There, there, do you want your grandfather to give you 500 yuan as a New Year's gift? If you do, be good and let's go home, okay?"

A hint of envy involuntarily flashed in Li Xiaoya's eyes, and then she said dryly, "You hit me."

Li Qingqing's father said, "Isn't this Li Jiang's daughter?"

Li Qingqing's mother sneered, "You mean that unlucky orphan? The old man at home doesn't even watch her, letting her run around everywhere. If a car hits her, the driver would be in big trouble."

Li Xiaoya pointed to the corner of her eye.

Sheng Yuxiao immediately flew into a rage, turning to interrogate Li Qingqing, "You did it on purpose, didn't you? Did you want to blind her?"

Unable to withstand such intensity, Li Qingqing instinctively took a step back. "I didn't, I didn't. I, I don't even remember this happening."

She really didn't remember.

Last year... she hadn't even been reborn into her childhood body yet.

Now, trying to recall, she really couldn't remember anything.

Who would remember what they did when they were six or seven years old?

Li Qingqing knew she was probably in big trouble today. Her eyes twitched, tears flowing down, and she looked helplessly towards Sheng Jun. "Uncle, I really didn't do it..."

Watching her performance, Qin Sui thought it wasn't bad.

Still not as good as his sister's acting though.

But it was quite interesting.

How coincidental that such a little girl was chosen to record the show.

Sheng Jun spoke up at this moment: "Was it a stone that was kicked accidentally?"

Li Qingqing seized the opportunity, saying tearfully, "I don't remember, but if it happened, it must have been an accident."

Li Xiaoya didn't speak because Sheng Yuxiao was holding her head, examining her eyes.

Li Xiaoya said softly, "My eyes are fine, there's nothing wrong."

Sheng Yuxiao held her face and said in a deep voice, "...There's a slight mark at the corner of your eye."

Li Xiaoya tried to touch it herself, but Sheng Yuxiao swatted her hand away. He immediately told the secretary who came with Sheng Jun, "Go buy some scar removal cream."

The secretary nodded awkwardly, thinking how strange the atmosphere was.

After the secretary left, Sheng Yuxiao let out a cold laugh. "I don't care if it was intentional or not. The fact that there's still a scar after a year shows how deep the stone must have cut!"

[Oh yeah, it's scary when you think about it. What if it had gone into her eye...]

[So did Li Qingqing actually call Li Xiaoya a dirty beggar or not?]

["Can you guarantee that you never used foul language when you were young? Li Xiaoya didn't have adults supervising her at home, so there's nothing wrong with others calling her a dirty kid, right?"]

["That's a blatant lie! Have you no conscience? As we saw in the show, although Li Xiaoya's home was run-down, she kept it very clean. How could she be considered a dirty kid?"]

Before the argument could break out in the hospital room, it had already erupted in the comments section, debating whether Li Qingqing or Li Xiaoya was at fault.

"Did you apologize at the time?" Qin Sui suddenly interjected.

"I... I..." Li Qingqing hadn't expected Qin Sui to join in on the interrogation.

What's going on? Are you all rushing to stand up for Li Xiaoya?
