Stolen Life of the Poor Girl, Top Luxury Family's Group Favor

Chapter 126

In the private room.

President Liu was so anxious he started reaching for his wallet.

"What are you doing?" Zhou General pulled his arm from the side and said, "Do you think Young Master Sheng and the others are here to extort you?"

"Then..." President Liu had never encountered such a situation before. He had no idea what to do.

Zhou General said helplessly, "You should be grateful that Young Master Sheng arrived in time."

President Liu's brain finally regained a bit of clarity from the panic.

So... everything was fine now?

At this moment, Sheng Yuxiao pressed a button on the table.

The waiter pushed open the door and entered. Affected by the tense atmosphere, his tone became nervous as well: "What do you need?"

"Order food," said Sheng Yuxiao.

Wei Wenjuan nodded, "Mm, let's let Little Duck eat first."

In almost the blink of an eye, President Liu had become the least important person in the room.

President Liu, who naturally loved being pursued and flattered, and wished everyone would listen to him, now felt like he had survived a calamity and could hardly hold back tears of joy.

"So... who should order?" the waiter asked meekly, looking around, feeling that everyone in the room was a big shot and it wouldn't be appropriate to give the menu to any of them.

Everyone exchanged glances.

"Give it to her!"

They all spoke almost in unison.

The waiter hurriedly handed the menu to Li Xiaoya.

Li Xiaoya didn't refuse. She first asked how to order, and after learning, she started asking everyone: "Second Uncle, what do you want to eat?" "Little Uncle, what do you want to eat?"

"Zhou General, what would you like?"

When Zhou General heard this, he felt somewhat uneasy.

He thought, how could he deserve to be asked before Young Master Sheng and Young Master Qin?

He cleared his throat and said, "Order whatever you like, anything is fine."

Qin Sui unhurriedly spoke up, "The most annoying words are 'anything is fine'."

Zhou General immediately changed his tune: "How about steamed grouper, and pine nut corn is also good."

These should all be dishes that Li Xiaoya could eat.

It seemed she had asked almost everyone, with only Sheng Yuxiao and Qin Sui left.

Zhou General's breathing unconsciously tightened. Who should go first between these two... this could easily cause conflict.

Then Li Xiaoya hooked her little hand, first selecting the two dishes Zhou General had mentioned, then looked up and asked in a soft voice, "What do you two want to eat?"

You two.

You two...

Alright.

With just two words, she lumped the two of them together, perfectly avoiding any dispute.

The expressions on Sheng Yuxiao and Qin Sui's faces simultaneously froze for a moment, then they rushed to speak:

"Braised fish maw with dried scallops."

"Truffle and mushroom soup."

"Foie gras with red wine."

"Cheese-baked short ribs..."

Li Xiaoya: "That's enough, that's enough."

She quickly pushed the menu back to the waiter.

The two men glanced at each other and fell silent at the same time.

But there was another problem... Zhou General thought, who would sit next to Li Xiaoya?

Li Xiaoya patted her left side: "Second Uncle, come here." Then patted her right side: "Little Uncle, sit here."

Zhou General fell silent. Well, there was no need to worry about her at all.

After speaking, Li Xiaoya looked at Zhou General again: "You sit too."

Zhou General was suddenly enlightened. He understood!

He pulled out a chair and sat down, then mimicked Li Xiaoya's actions, patting his left side: "Young Master Sheng, please."

Then invited Qin Sui to sit on his right.

See, this way the two mortal enemies were also separated.

Li Xiaoya had a little trick up her sleeve. Zhou General marveled.

Finally, everyone was seated, with only President Liu still standing there.

Sheng Yuxiao lifted his eyelids slightly: "You sit too."

"I'd better not..." Mainly because he didn't dare, and the pressure was too strong. President Liu was afraid he might choke to death.

Sheng Yuxiao certainly wouldn't persuade him, just raised his chin at the waiter and said, "Give him a small table."

The waiter: "Alright."

When a big shot makes a request, nothing is impossible.

After a while, the waiter carried in a high chair for infants, turned the tray part towards President Liu, and said, "Please use this."

President Liu was angry but didn't dare to speak.

He might as well use it. After all, it was better than sitting with them.

The meal was finally finished.

Although the atmosphere was strange, under Li Xiaoya's "hosting," the outcome was fairly satisfactory.

The little girl wiped her mouth and, without waiting for someone to pick her up, quickly jumped down from her chair and said, "Let's go, time to go home."

With two uncles present, there was no need for Sheng Yuxiao and Qin Sui to fight over who would take her home.

How wonderful, another bloodbath avoided. Zhou General sighed.

A group of people stood at the bottom of the steps of Rongxiang Restaurant, watching Li Xiaoya's car leave.

When it was completely out of sight, Sheng Yuxiao turned his head and glanced at President Liu: "Don't look for her again, understand?"

"I understand, I understand..."

"You can go now."

"Okay, okay, goodbye!"

President Liu walked away, and when he reached the sidewalk, he broke into a full sprint, running far away before calling his driver to pick him up.

Meanwhile, Sheng Yuxiao and Qin Sui didn't speak to each other, just got into their respective cars, leaving Zhou General standing there.

"So... the matter is resolved satisfactorily?"

His driver also came to pick him up, lowering the window to ask, "Zhou General? Is everything alright? Miss Liu Hong even called me, asking if Miss Li was okay?"

"Good! Good! Everything's fine! All very good!" Zhou General came back to his senses, his tone unable to hide his excitement. He opened the car door and sat down, saying, "Let's go! I'm going to buy a bag for my wife!"

The driver didn't expect such a big turn in the conversation and was stunned: "Huh?"

"Drive, let's go quickly, before the mall closes."

The whole incident really seemed no different from a dream.

Just because his wife had bought a bag outside, which happened to end up in Li Xiaoya's hands.

What a great purchase! An excellent purchase indeed!

It brought him resources that he might not have been able to obtain even after eight lifetimes of hard work.

When he initially named the company "Dream Maker," it was both to fulfill his own ideals and to derive from Liu Meng's name.

And today, the new peak of the company seemed like a dream, just climbed up like that.

The encounters in life, ah.

At this moment, Zhou General very much wanted to quickly bring gifts back to see his wife and children.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"It doesn't matter much that she went with Young Master Sheng, but why didn't she call home at all today?" Wei Lin wondered aloud.

No sooner had he finished speaking.

Wei Wenjuan came in and said: "To give a surprise."

A surprise? What kind of surprise? And these two words coming from Wei Wenjuan's mouth sounded too strange.

On the other side, Li Xiaoya ran all the way to Wei Xuanming with her little backpack.

If Wei Xuanming's expression had been seven parts indifferent before, now seeing her run up all sweaty, only three parts remained.

Li Xiaoya placed her backpack in Wei Xuanming's arms.

She wasn't the kind of child accustomed to acting coy, and her relationship with Wei Xuanming had more tacit understanding than intimacy.

This action now made them seem closer.

It was like what Wei Xuanming had once seen on the street, those children who couldn't walk anymore, crying and shouting for their grandparents to carry their schoolbags...

Wei Xuanming's gaze became momentarily unfocused as he watched Li Xiaoya unzip the bag, saying, "For Grandfather."

Wei Lin's mouth unconsciously turned down at the corners, but quickly returned to normal.

He really had been outmaneuvered.

Every time, knowing to use gift-giving to avoid... how many more times could this tactic work?

Wei Xuanming lowered his eyes and said, "What did you bring this time?"

Li Xiaoya said, "I don't know."

Wei Xuanming paused: "You don't know?"

"Mm, because Second Uncle and Little Uncle bought it for Grandfather."

Wei Xuanming couldn't say another word for a long time.

Of course, the rift between father and sons couldn't be mended in a day or two. They had even had a big fight on the island that time, so how come now...

Wei Xuanming's breathing paused, his chest filled with the sound of more intense heartbeats.

Wei Lin was also rooted to the spot.

Given Wei Wenjuan's temperament, how could he suddenly show goodwill towards the old man? Wei Wenqing too, despite appearing weak, was actually very firm and stubborn...

But at this moment, Wei Wenjuan spoke up, further confirming Li Xiaoya's words.

"In the past, we always sent watches, paintings, calligraphy copybooks, antiques..."

Yes.

But that was all before the father-son relationship had broken down.

After Wei Wenyu went missing, the relationship between father and sons became increasingly worse, to the point where they stopped seeing each other completely.

"Now we feel that Little Duck's gifts are better, so we followed suit and bought some things," Wei Wenjuan said as he bent down to pull out a blanket and placed it over the old man's knees.

Wei Xuanming's body trembled imperceptibly. He raised his hand, covered in wrinkles and age spots, and pressed down on a corner of the blanket. He asked, "Why did you suddenly think of giving gifts?"

In the past, Wei Wenjuan would have gotten angry hearing these words.

Because Wei Xuanming was deep in thought, this question usually meant that he felt the other person had something to gain by being so attentive.

Today, Wei Wenjuan calmly replied, "There's some good news worth celebrating together. ... The gaming company that Li Xiaoya invested in launched a new game today, and its daily revenue reached five million."

Wei Lin's facial muscles twitched, and he almost jumped up.

Wei Xuanming appeared much more composed.

Five million was, after all, a very small number to him.

"Li Xiaoya has good vision," he praised mildly. "At this rate, the monthly revenue should be able to break 100 million. You should thank your niece for not forgetting to include you in making money at times like this. It's not a lot of money, but it's the thought that counts."

Wei Wenjuan lowered his eyes without saying anything. He was already used to his father's tone.

At this moment, Li Xiaoya tugged at the corner of the blanket and said, "Yes, it's not a lot of money, but it's the thought that counts. So Grandpa should also thank Uncle."

Wei Xuanming paused, staring at her, a hint of helplessness and surprise flashing in his eyes.

She really was... very clever.

Wei Xuanming finally said something softer: "Thank you, Wenjuan, and Wenqing."

Li Xiaoya turned her face and said, "How are my uncles going to thank me?"

Wei Xuanming's eyelid twitched, feeling that this child seemed to have some other ideas.
