Chapter 88
"Hmm, you can't pat my head. It'll stunt my growth if you do," Li Xiaoya said seriously with a straight face.
Liu Meng burst out laughing, "Right, right." The awkwardness of being rejected instantly dissipated.
What a pity, Qin Sui thought to himself.
Clearly, Li Xiaoya still had no intention of letting him pat her head.
But while it was a pity, Qin Sui also understood that if she had easily given in, she wouldn't be Li Xiaoya.
"I'm going now," Li Xiaoya waved at Qin Sui.
Qin Sui was surprised and looked at the big bag at his feet, "You're leaving all of this with me?"
"Yes, it's better to keep it all at your place for now," Li Xiaoya nodded solemnly.
After all, she was still a child, and this was the first time she had seen so much money. She was worried that she wouldn't be strong enough to protect it. This was also why she chose to sell the bag. The bag couldn't be returned to Qin Sui, but the money could be.
This way, she could attend her afternoon classes with peace of mind.
"Li Xiaoya, you trust me this much?" Qin Sui couldn't help but ask.
Li Xiaoya looked at him, puzzled. Was there any reason not to trust him? She couldn't think of any.
"I'm very happy that you chose to entrust these to me for safekeeping, rather than to Sheng Yuxiao," Qin Sui bent down and whispered in her ear.
"Well, that's because..."
Qin Sui rudely interrupted her, "Don't say it's because some of my money is in there too, so objectively speaking, it's best for me to keep it."
"That's not..."
Qin Sui was satisfied, "Good, as long as that's not the reason."
Mainly, money was wealth, but also responsibility. Li Xiaoya understood this principle from a very young age. Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com
Whoever kept the money had to bear the responsibility.
Although she knew the money would certainly not be lost in Sheng Yuxiao's hands, what if it did? If it did, Sheng Yuxiao would surely blame himself and pay her back with his own money.
Li Xiaoya quickly calculated this in her head.
...So there was no better choice than Qin Sui.
But she decided not to tell Qin Sui any of this.
Qin Sui straightened up and said, "It's still early, you haven't had lunch yet, right? Thank you for bringing me such a large sum of money, let me treat you to a meal." His tone had become noticeably lighter.
Liu Meng's eyes also lit up, "Why don't I treat you instead? This little friend is also a classmate of our Xiaoshu."
Unfortunately, both their invitations were declined.
But it sounded so sarcastic that others didn't dare to take it seriously.
Meanwhile, Li Xiaoya returned to school. Liu Meng watched her figure disappear into the distance and asked while still in the car, "Do you know whose daughter she is?"
"I don't know, nobody knows. Only An Ying has met her."
"Why does it sound so mysterious? You should try to be good friends with her in the future."
"An Ying says she's really good at fighting."
"Then forget it..." Liu Meng said sheepishly.
After having lunch with her daughter, Liu Meng returned home, but she couldn't sit still and couldn't resist going out with her new bag to meet other rich ladies.
She couldn't help but tell them, "Young Master Qin said that from now on, whenever there are any limited edition new products, he'll have someone contact me."
"Young Master Qin? Which Young Master Qin?"
"Which Young Master Qin could it be?"
The others exchanged glances, utterly shocked, and then began to congratulate her profusely.
It wasn't until much later that Liu Meng returned home.
For her, it had been an extremely fulfilling and wonderful day.
However, her husband came home very early that day, entering with a sour face and saying, "Today, General Liu said you know Young Master Qin, and sarcastically asked me why I didn't mention it earlier. He said the game license that had been stuck could have been easily approved with the Qin family's help."
This Zhou General asked coldly, "When did you get to know Young Master Qin? How come I don't know about this? Were you bragging in front of Mrs. Liu? She was implying that you were talking nonsense!"
Liu Meng was stunned, "How was I bragging? I told the truth... Mrs. Liu praised me to my face, but what did she say behind my back?"
Liu Meng quickly explained the process of Li Xiaoya selling the bag.
To her surprise, her husband became even angrier and scolded, "A child sold you the bag? And introduced you to Young Master Qin? Can't you make up a more believable story? Aren't you just afraid I'll scold you for spending so much money on a bag that will be out of fashion next year?"
Liu Meng was so angered by her husband that she nearly fell over backwards, desperately wishing her daughter would come home from school soon to vindicate her.
Meanwhile, Li Xiaoya had just finished her last class.
It was the ice skating class.
After school, as everyone was walking out together, An Ying came up and asked, "Did you really sell the bag to Zhou Xiaoshu's mom?"
Li Xiaoya nodded.
"Wasn't Qin Sui angry?"
"I split the money with him."
An Ying was dumbfounded. Was that even possible?
