"Then, young master, you must have a way to save President Ji, right?!"
Although the child in front of me is only three years old, he inexplicably inspires a sense of trust.
In particular, she had foreseen that she would be in trouble.
It was the amulet she gave her that saved her life.
Therefore, Shen Xuan felt immense respect and gratitude towards the young girl.
Now, let alone being respectful to her, she would be willing to kneel down and kowtow to the little girl as long as she could save Ji Beichen.
Qiqi nodded, "I do have a way to save Brother Beichen, but Gu worms are something that can be easy to deal with, but also a bit troublesome. I need to first determine what kind of Gu the other party used on Brother Beichen, and then I can treat it accordingly. Sister, do you have a way to take me home and get close to the person who used the Gu?"
Shen Xuan: ...
Although she was the biological daughter of the Shen family, her position in the family was actually very awkward, and she had no say at all.
If she brings just anyone home, her parents will definitely give her a severe scolding.
She doesn't mind being scolded; she's just afraid that the master will also be scolded along with her.
What if the master gets angry because of this and refuses to save President Ji?
"Master, to be honest, my parents don't like me very much. If you come back with me, I'm afraid you'll suffer." Shen Xuan said, her lips pursed and her expression awkward.
Actually, Qiqi had already seen all of this from her face.
That's why she was willing to help this woman back then.
This woman is a good person, but also a pitiful one.
"It's okay, sister. I'll go back with you. Maybe I can even help you solve some problems along the way."
Qiqi blinked her big, dark eyes, which seemed to see through everything.
Shen Xuan's embarrassment was completely exposed in front of her.
She was an orphan for over a decade, enduring discrimination and contempt.
When her biological parents found her, she thought she would finally have a home.
But who could have imagined that during her absence, her parents had already had another daughter, whom they doted on.
In addition, she was inferior to their carefully cultivated daughter in every way. She was not good-looking, had a timid personality, lacked talent and outstanding temperament. Apart from being their biological daughter, she had no other qualities that would make her parents like her.
The parents' favoritism is obvious.
At first, she also tried hard to gain her parents' approval.
But gradually, she realized that some things cannot be obtained simply through hard work.
Just like the companionship of spending more than ten years together, it cannot be compensated by being a biological child.
She has resigned herself to her fate.
But now, because of the master's words, her heart is stirring again.
But after being disappointed too many times, she no longer wanted to have any hope.
Shen Xuan twitched the corner of her mouth, "Since Master doesn't mind, then please come home with me and resolve President Ji's problems as soon as possible."
She paused, then lowered her head in shame. "But Master, I don't have much savings, so I'm afraid I can't offer a very high reward."
"It's okay," Qiqi waved her hand dismissively, "Meeting is fate, just give me whatever you think is fair."
I accept payment simply to avoid getting involved in karma.
But Ji Beichen is his uncle's child and a member of the Ji family.
As a family member, Qiqi was originally part of this cause and effect.
So it doesn't matter how much money you have!
Shen Xuan was unaware of this.
She assumed that the young master was only willing to accept less money out of consideration for her, and she was immediately moved to tears.
He thanked her profusely again, making Qiqi a little embarrassed.
The two agreed to meet in half an hour, and then hung up the phone.
Half an hour later, Madam Ji packed a small bundle for Qiqi, saw her off, and then explained some of Qiqi's living habits to Shen Xuan, who had come to pick her up.
Shen Xuan wrote them down one by one and promised to take good care of the little master before leaving with Qi Qi.
Despite being a young lady of the Shen family, Shen Xuan didn't even have a driver; she had to take a taxi back to the Shen family home with Qi Qi.
The Shen family also lives in a villa area, and the security guards outside the gate do not allow taxis to enter.
Shen Xuan went down to plead for him, but was ridiculed instead.
In the end, I could only awkwardly lead Qiqi through the main entrance.
As he walked, he apologized to Qiqi, "I'm sorry, Master, I didn't know that taxis weren't allowed here."
She usually doesn't want to take a taxi to commute; instead, she walks to the subway station, which is quite far from the villa area, to take the subway.
I only took a taxi home today because I didn't want my little master to get tired.
As it turned out, something still went wrong.
Qiqi sighed like a little adult, "Sister Chenxuan, you've said sorry at least twenty times along the way, and apologized thirteen times already. I told you, it's really okay. You don't need to be so polite. Do I look like a petty and difficult person?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant..."
Seeing that Shen Xuan was about to apologize again, Qi Qi quickly interrupted, "Okay, okay, I know you didn't mean it that way. So, Sister Shen Xuan, which way should we turn?"
There was a fork in the road ahead. Actually, Qiqi could tell which way to go with a little calculation, but she had to quickly distract Shen Xuan, otherwise she would probably have to start another round of apologies.
"Left side." Shen Xuan quickly led the way.
After walking for about ten minutes, we finally arrived at the gate of the Shen family's house.
Qiqi stared in surprise as she saw Shen Xuan actually reach out and press the doorbell.
This is truly eye-opening; it's the first time I've ever seen someone have to ring the doorbell to get back to their own home.
The maid came over and saw Shen Xuan; her nose and eyes looked completely out of place.
“Miss Shen Xuan, why are you back at this time? The master, madam and young lady are not home, and there is no lunch prepared. Why don’t you go out and eat before you come back?”
Shen Xuan's face flushed red instantly. "Aren't Mom, Dad, and my sister home? When are they coming back? I brought some guests and would like Mom and Dad to meet them."
Upon hearing that Shen Xuan was bringing people home so casually, the maid's expression instantly turned ugly.
He rolled his eyes at Shen Xuan without hiding his disdain. "Miss Shen Xuan, the master said not to bring just anyone home, especially those ill-mannered children from your old orphanage."
As she spoke, she swept her scrutinizing gaze up and down at Qiqi, who was standing next to Shen Xuan. Her critical eyes were like a knife, scraping at Shen Xuan's self-esteem, making her eyes red.
"Who told you that children from orphanages are ill-mannered?" For the first time, Shen Xuan retorted to what the family members said. "Besides, my friend isn't just anyone, she is..."
