Hearing Li Shiwei praise her daughter's good looks, Gu Yueming was even happier. She immediately raised her chin proudly and said, "That's right, my Sheng Sheng is the most beautiful girl in the world!"
Li Shiwei: "...It is indeed beautiful."
Seeing her mother's eyes growing brighter and brighter, as if she was about to give a grand performance praising her daughter, Qin Sheng's brow twitched, and she pulled her back: "Mom, I have to go to school."
Gu Yueming then realized that today was a workday.
Qin Zhihuai hadn't had a chance to properly talk to his sister before, and since it was almost lunchtime, he simply went to pick her up. Now that they had talked and eaten, it was indeed time for her to go to school.
Gu Yueming instantly lost interest in speaking and said dejectedly, "Okay then, Mom will take you."
The word "no need" circled in his mouth, but when his gaze swept over Li Shiwei, whose embarrassment vanished in an instant and who kept praising Gu Yueming, he paused and changed his words to "okay".
Well, her mother is a bit simple-minded. If she stays here, she'll get scammed out of money and her feelings. It's better if she takes her away.
Gu Yueming nodded happily, said goodbye to Li Shiwei, and was about to leave when the phone rang.
It was a new phone that her assistant had just delivered to Li Shiwei that morning.
She watched Gu Yueming and her daughter walk away, her face darkening. She casually pressed the answer button: "What is it?"
The person on the other end immediately sensed her bad mood and paused for a moment, but then remembered the purpose of her call and became excited again: "Sister Weiwei, you're trending! You're number nine on the trending list!"
Li Shiwei's heart skipped a beat. Without even saying goodbye, she immediately hung up the phone and went to Weibo. When she saw the hashtag "[Li Shiwei Coffee Bath Incident]" trending at number nine and still gaining popularity, her heart sank to the bottom.
Three words clearly surfaced in my mind: It's over!
At the same time, Qin Sheng's phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and answered, "What's wrong?"
Xu Xiao's voice was both angry and anxious: "That young girl you introduced has gotten into trouble!"
Qin Sheng tightened her grip on the phone slightly, and asked in a steady voice, "What is it?"
"I haven't figured out the specifics yet, but I heard that she got involved with a minor celebrity."
"That minor celebrity posted a Weibo yesterday afternoon about being splashed with coffee, trying to gain sympathy. Then her fans followed the background of her selfie to find the restaurant she ate at, then found the waiter who splashed her coffee, and then... and then..."
Xu Xiao hesitated to continue, until Qin Sheng hummed in response. She then gritted her teeth and said, "Those fans were rather extreme. After finding the person, they bought a hundred cups of coffee and poured them all over the waiter. Afterwards, they beat him up and threatened him. By the time I got the news and went there, the staff from Mo's International had already taken him to the hospital."
"I heard that besides this girl, there was another girl involved in this, but when the fans went to find her, she had already left. Sheng Sheng..." Xu Xiao hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "That girl wouldn't happen to be you, would she?"
Qin Sheng: "It's me."
The voice was very calm, seemingly no different from usual, but for some reason, Xu Xiao sensed a hint of danger in it.
Her heart pounded: "Then this matter..."
"I'll handle it."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
She turned to Gu Yueming and said, "Mom, I'm not going to school."
Gu Yueming had overheard some of it, but didn't quite understand. Upon hearing this, she immediately asked worriedly, "Has something happened?"
Qin Sheng smiled, but her eyes remained cold: "Yes."
She pulled her hand away from Gu Yueming's and turned back into the house.
Li Shiwei hasn't left yet.
Seeing Qin Sheng return, her unease intensified. She quickly smiled at Gu Yueming and said, "I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now, Auntie. I'll come to see you again next time."
After saying that, he fled towards the door.
But Qin Sheng blocked their way.
Li Shiwei's eyes flickered, her fingers tightly gripping the bag in her hand. She managed to suppress her unease and forced a smile, asking, "What's going on, Sheng Sheng?"
"First of all, my mom only gave birth to me and my three older brothers. I don't have any older sisters, so don't call me that."
Li Shiwei bit her lip: "Sister Shengsheng..."
With a snap.
Li Shiwei's face was slapped to the side.
Qin Sheng's brows furrowed in coldness: "Can't you understand human language?"
Li Shiwei's eyes were filled with disbelief: "You hit me?!"
Qin Sheng: "Should we post this on Weibo?"
Li Shiwei was so angry that she lost her mind. She didn't even care that she was still in front of Gu Yueming. She shouted angrily, "She's just a waitress. Is it really that big of a deal? Qin Sheng, don't think that just because you're the daughter of the Qin family, you can do whatever you want! Don't push your luck!"
Qin Sheng chuckled lightly: "So what if I bully you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked the man away.
Li Shiwei's body flew backward uncontrollably until she crashed into the stairs and came to a stop, but Qin Sheng had already caught up with her.
"Isn't the 'superior' mentality popular in your circle? Fine, since you, a high and mighty star, can beat and scold a lowly waitress at will, why can't I, a true heiress of a wealthy family, beat up a maid who lives in my house?"
Qin Sheng stepped on her knee and repeated, "So what if I bully you?"
Her face was still the same, her expression as always cold and indifferent, but her almond-shaped eyes were now filled with ruthlessness, like a wild wolf that had broken free from its cage.
Li Shiwei's body trembled uncontrollably.
She tried to escape, but her knees were pinned down, and even the slightest pressure caused excruciating pain. She had nowhere to run!
Fear welled up uncontrollably in Li Shiwei's heart.
Just then, a pair of long, slender legs came into view. Li Shiwei's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately looked up. Sure enough, she saw the face she had been longing for.
Overjoyed, she cried out, "Brother Zhihuai, save me!"
Qin Zhihuai glanced at her, then looked at Qin Sheng: "Sheng Sheng, let her go."
Li Shiwei was overjoyed, thinking that Brother Zhihuai was indeed on her side, and couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.
However, before her smile could fully open, Qin Zhihuai had already walked past her and stood beside Qin Sheng.
He reached out and pulled Qin Sheng to his side, his shimmering peach blossom eyes filled with tender affection as he smiled, "Don't hurt your feet. Leave this kind of rough work to your third brother."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on Li Shiwei's knee.
Li Shiwei clearly heard the sound of bones cracking.
The next moment, she met the man's smiling eyes: "My Sheng Sheng can do whatever she wants. So what if I bully you?"
