Chapter 60: Inheriting the Family Business

Chapter 60

Hearing his words, Sheng Yuxiao wanted to say that he was underestimating Li Xiaoya too much.

But Li Xiaoya herself spoke first. She crouched in front of Wei Wenqing and said softly, "You are Mom's family. Mom loves you, so I will love you too."

Wei Wenqing let out a heavy sigh from his throat, then hugged Li Xiaoya tightly.

The people he had encountered, whether old or young, always put their own interests first.

The younger the children growing up in such an environment, the more cruel they seemed to become.

The first word they learned in life was "dignity."

Fortunately, he, an undignified person, was now accepted.

Wei Wenqing affectionately stroked Li Xiaoya's hair, then released her and gestured again: "Uncle will love you too."

Li Xiaoya nodded: "So it's a happy thing."

Yes, yes, it's a happy thing! Wei Wenqing forced a smile.

And so Wei Wenqing stayed temporarily.

He shaved his beard and temporarily changed into Sheng Yuxiao's clothes. Fortunately, although Sheng Yuxiao was young, he was tall, so the clothes fit well.

Li Xiaoya also helped him treat the scrapes and bruises on his body.

After washing up, the man's appearance completely changed.

His features were soft, his demeanor clean. When he sat under the eaves, the wind and snow that brushed past his face seemed to slow their pace.

The live stream audience now knew that the production team had picked up a homeless mute man outside.

Some even joked, asking if the production team had become addicted to doing good deeds.

At this moment, the camera focused on him, and viewers couldn't help but exclaim:

[Can a mute man be this good-looking?]

[Good catch!]

[Haha, it seems the young master Sheng doesn't think so...]

Wei Wenqing had finally found his sister's orphaned child, and his familial affection had no outlet.

When Li Xiaoya woke up to comb her hair, he insisted on doing it for her.

When Li Xiaoya drank water, he rushed to blow on it to cool it down.

When Li Xiaoya walked to the threshold, before she could step out, he picked her up and placed her on the other side.

[Sheng Yuxiao: I've confirmed it, he's competing with me for chores.]

[He must hate the production team now]

As she spoke, her gaze was fixed on Li Qingqing.

Sheng Jun said, "She greatly admires your parents. You know how children are: it's rare to find one eager to learn and improve. I thought it would be good for her to spend some time with your parents, learning about biology and zoology."

The show was still being recorded, and when Sheng Jun said this, the comments exploded with excitement.

[They're being so good to Li Qingqing?]

[Ah, it's so good to have rich people backing you up. Such a young child can already learn from top university professors!]

The viewers were incredibly envious.

But Li Qingqing couldn't smile.

She knew why Sheng Jun had brought her here. It was because she couldn't give the exact time when Xu Ruying's parents would have an accident. Sheng Jun hadn't blamed her, only saying, "In that case, you should stay by their side until they avoid the accident."

In other words, if they couldn't avoid it, wouldn't she have to die with them?

Li Qingqing was full of unspoken bitterness.

Just as she had pretended to admire Xu Qiulai before, now she had to continue pretending to greatly admire Xu Ruying's parents.

"Admire us?" Xu Huishan was even more surprised, "I thought children wouldn't like this stuff. Ruying certainly doesn't."

In the past, Xu Ruying would have been furious hearing this.

But now, thinking of what Li Xiaoya had said, Xu Ruying wasn't angry anymore. She pouted and said, "I just don't like it. Li Xiaoya really likes these things. In the future, let her be your student and accompany you in your research."

Xu Huishan gave her a strange look.

They hadn't argued today!

Xu Ruying glared back: "What are you looking at? I can grow up too. Although you always say I'm not like your daughter, I don't get angry with you anymore."

Sheng Jun smiled and said, "That's better. We're all family, why keep having disputes?"

Xu Ruying nodded, then added, "But I think when the time comes, you might not be able to have Li Xiaoya as your student."

Xu Huishan was puzzled: "Why not?"

"Because Sheng Yuxiao won't allow it! You don't know, Sheng Yuxiao is like, oh right, like a dragon guarding its treasure. He rarely lets others play with Li Xiaoya. He likes to teach Li Xiaoya himself, teaching English and even finance. Uncle's whole set of skills, he's nearly taught it all to Li Xiaoya," Xu Ruying said.

Xu Ruying's mother, Qiu Lan, couldn't help but say, "He's really treating her like family."

Li Qingqing listened, her nails digging into her palms.

Xu Ruying had no idea what she was thinking and continued, "Besides, even if Sheng Yuxiao doesn't interfere, Li Xiaoya will probably go back to inherit some family business in the future, right?"

Li Qingqing almost couldn't hold back a sarcastic laugh.

Inherit the family business?

What family business did Li Xiaoya have to inherit?
