In her past life, she only found out later that many things were instigated by Shen Xinrou behind Shen Xinai's back. Shen Xinai was like a gun in her hands. She wanted Shen Xinai to shoot wherever she wanted, and Shen Xinai would do it. But in the end? Shen Xinai, the fool, not only got sold out but also helped the buyer lose money. After lying on the bed for a while, Xingkong took out her phone from under the pillow and made a call. Bai Ning was about to take a shower, but when he heard the sudden ringing of the phone, he put on his clothes and ran out. Qi Rongchen had watched a good show tonight and refused to leave just like that. He stubbornly stayed at Huo Siye's place, at the first-floor bar. Qi Rongchen shook the red wine in his hand, took a sip, and smiled lazily. "Your little concubine..." Huo Siye's cold gaze swept over him. "Don't tarnish the girl's reputation." "Oh, are you feeling sorry for her?" Huo Siye's frown deepened, and his gaze towards Qi Rongchen became even more dissatisfied. However, Qi Rongchen was not afraid at all. Instead, he became more ambiguous. "Your little concubine is different from those outside cheap goods." Huo Siye, "... "I suggest you, if you really like her, keep her close. Otherwise, when she opens up, it will be too late. Only children hesitate. Adults always strike first." Huo Siye gave him a cold glance, took a sip of red wine, and the sweetness of the liquid spread in his mouth as his Adam's apple rolled.
"Don't be so boring!" Qi Rongchen bumped his shoulder, "Let me tell you, men should be a little rough and simple."
"Get away from me." Huo Siye pushed him away with disgust and poured himself another glass of wine.
Somehow, the image of the little crazy girl jumping on him and biting him flashed through his mind.
His mouth involuntarily curved up, while his fingers were already on his chin.
The tooth marks were faint.
But...the feeling of being bitten in that moment was unforgettable in his mind.
"Tsk tsk, you're laughing so wickedly, did you remember something? Oh~ Have you and your little concubine already done the deed?"
"Shut up." Huo Siye put away his smile and gave Qi Rongchen a cold glance, "Why don't you leave?"
"Let me guess...is our Ah ye angry or embarrassed?" Qi Rongchen teased.
Huo Siye couldn't be bothered to deal with him and was about to go back to his room when he saw Bai Ning running over with his phone.
His heart sank.
The last time he was so flustered was when the little crazy girl sent him a distress message. Could it be that something happened again?
"What happened again?" He hurriedly asked.
"Your, your, your concubine...oh no, Miss Shen called!" Bai Ning handed the phone to Huo Siye. After the incident with the distress message, he trembled when he saw Shen Xingkong calling.
He secretly cursed, could something have happened again?
"This is not a child bride, this is clearly a troublemaker!"
"It's me," said Huo Siye, answering the phone in a cold and calm voice.
"Siye! It's me, it's me!"
As soon as the phone was answered, Xingkong's happy voice came through. It was clear and crisp, with a hint of the softness unique to a girl.
It didn't sound like a plea for help... more like a coquettish tone.
Huo Siye breathed a sigh of relief and coughed lightly, responding somewhat unnaturally, "Hmm."
"I called to tell you that I took the initiative to waive your hush money. You won't blame me, will you?" Xingkong lay on the bed, her feet curled up, her ten toes round and cute.
"Hmm?"
"It's the hush money that Dong Ru zhu wants to give you. She came to me and begged me to let her go. I thought that as a kind-hearted little girl, I shouldn't be too ruthless, so I only took forty million."
Qi Rongchen and Bai Ning, who were listening on the side, had a tacit understanding as they twitched their mouths. You're still kind-hearted?
"Is that all?"
"Yes~ I was already asleep, but I was afraid that you wouldn't receive the money and would worry, so I got up and called you." Xingkong said in a serious tone, making up nonsense.
Huo Siye chuckled lightly, not exposing her, "You can go to sleep now."
"Don't be angry, okay? When I recover from my injury, I'll treat you to something delicious."
"Hmm, go to sleep." Huo Siye hung up the phone and threw it to Bai Ning.
Qi Rongchen said, "Why do I see the stirrings of spring on someone's face?"
Bai Ning hesitated, "Um... although I saw it too, I dare not say."
Huo Siye gave the two of them a glare, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Qi Rongchen clicked his tongue, "You guys are such old hands, why pretend to be innocent little boys?"
Bai Ning blinked his eyes, "Fourth Master, when a girl asks you out for a meal, you should say that you'll treat her this time and let her treat you next time. That's how it should be!"
Huo Siye said, "Are you guys free?"
Qi Rongchen shook his head, "No, I'm very busy. There are a hundred and eighty fair-skinned and beautiful girls waiting for me to spoil them. But we're good brothers, right? I can't be carousing every night while you're alone at home. Come on, let me teach you how to pursue a girl."
"Qi Rongchen, my patience is limited." Huo Siye's eyes contained a warning as he spoke.
Bai Ning stammered, "Fourth Master, you should let Master Qi teach you, he has more experience. As the saying goes, being quick to learn and not ashamed to ask for advice is a good thing!"
"You see how good Bai Ning's attitude is!" Huo Siye couldn't take it anymore and threw the two of them out.
...
That night, Xingkong slept soundly.
She even dreamed of her mother and the happy times of her childhood.
Back then, she had a mother and a father...
Some people slept well, while others found it hard to sleep.
"Mom! Did you really give her the money?"
Dong Ru zhu pressed her temples, feeling tired. "If we don't give it to her, what can we do? Do you really want her to call the police?
"She dares!"
Dong Ru zhu glared at her with annoyance. "She wouldn't have dared before, but now she's become too audacious!"
"Mom, you also think she's changed, right? I noticed it at the school banquet. She dared to disobey me! And at the hospital, she intentionally hurt herself while holding my hand. And just now, she deliberately provoked me to slap Siye gege!"
Shen Xinai was on the verge of going crazy.
Her plan had failed, completely and utterly.
"I won't let Shen Xingkong go. That bitch." Shen Xinai gritted her teeth, her eyes full of malice.
"No, I have to ask my sister what to do next! She's the only one who can help me now."
"Your sister is on vacation with Yun Xing. Don't disturb them," Dong Ru zhu warned Shen Xinai.
Shen Xinai felt wronged. "Mom..."
"Listen to me. Mom will help you clear all obstacles. The Shen family is yours, and you will be the future mistress of the Huo family."
"Thank you, Mom. I knew you loved me the most," Shen Xinai cooed, snuggling into Dong Ru zhu's arms.
Dong Ru zhu looked at her daughter with affection.
Xinai, don't worry.
Mom will spend her whole life to give you a life of luxury and prosperity.
You are the only daughter of Mom.
Mom's only daughter.
