Chapter Nineteen: Relying on Shaw's Power



"He's just a nobody who's causing me trouble?"

Through the detention incident, Lin Weiwei discovered that Xiao Se was the type who was more anxious than the emperor. She had only acted like a secret agent on instinct, which caused her a lot of trouble. She definitely had to continue dealing with things at school. It was best to conceal her identity as a college student. She didn't know where the trio had gone, but... the vice principal seemed to have mentioned that his father was a member of the school board, so he should have many connections.

Right now, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack for her to catch these three international spies all by herself. She needs help from others and the most advanced weapons, if a fight breaks out.

"Weiwei, don't be like that. He's the class monitor, after all. Give him some face..."

If you don't go back for a day, your teacher will keep asking about it. I heard she even fell out with Han Han because of you. Ma Fei bit his lip and limped after An Nuo from her house. She walks really fast, making him breathless. Can't she slow down just because I'm a liar?

face?

It's a miracle he's not causing trouble with his brains; what's the point of saving face? He's the one who's losing face by robbing someone.

She put on her headphones, pretending not to hear Ma Fei's shouts, and walked out of the village. Just as she was about to hail a taxi back to the villa, a speeding taxi kept slamming towards her. Was she asking for trouble? She put one foot on the hood of the car and looked at the taxi in front of her.

The driver was also stunned. If it weren't for this guy next to him, he would never have mistaken the brake for the accelerator. Now that the engine was finally off, he swallowed hard. But the young man next to him didn't notice the driver's strange behavior at all. He handed him a hundred yuan and got out of the car.

"Lin Weiwei, what are you so smug about? You're skipping class."

He was dumbfounded as soon as he got out of the car. The car in front of him had a flat tire, and the driver came out cursing and grabbed him by the collar, demanding compensation. "Hurry, hurry... hurry my ass! The car has broken down!" It was a brand new taxi! Was this guy in a hurry to be reborn or what? He glanced at the girl in front of him and realized he was chasing after a girl.

Lin Weiwei was so angry at their argument that she felt like her head was about to explode. She went up and slapped them both across the face, leaving their faces red and swollen.

This...damn woman, she started hitting me without warning. He tossed a wad of cash from his pocket to the driver without even counting it. Grabbing her wrist, he said, "Hey, my patience has its limits. You can't hit someone in the face!" He tightened his grip, and the two stared at each other.

When Ma Fei caught up, the two of them really didn't get along from the moment they met. If they kept glaring at each other, they might just end up kissing.

"Xiao, how long are you going to hold her hand? Hehe," Ma Fei couldn't help but chuckle. Actually, these two were quite a good couple; at first glance, they were good-looking, but their personalities didn't quite match. One was the class bully, and the other was the class's top student; one was aloof and ruthless, and the other was lazy and easygoing.

Xiao Se was furious when he saw that face. Her cold, expressionless demeanor was really annoying; at least girls would be scared and scream! The taxi had arrived so fast, and she was so calm. Oh well, they were classmates, so for the sake of the class, he'd let it go. He'd deal with her another time.

After letting go, he covered his livid face and hissed... that slap was really hard.

"Tell me, what will it take for you to go back? And uh... thank you for being a witness. My dad invited you to dinner." He lowered his head, feeling particularly awkward saying the word "thank you," as if he had bitten his tongue. But for the sake of the same 200,000 yuan monthly allowance, he still lowered his head.

"Huh? I can't hear you." Lin Weiwei tilted her head and rubbed her ears. If she hadn't misheard, the leader of the preparatory class seven had actually bowed his head and said thank you.

They're really pushing their luck!

That's enough! Just as he was about to punch her in the stomach, he missed. So fast! Hadn't she just let her guard down?

"Xiao Se, if you two keep bickering and fighting, I think I'll never be able to get my cast off again." Ma Fei stood there leaning on his crutch for a long time. He had been chasing after Lin Weiwei all the way back and wasn't used to using a crutch at all. Now, he was a little unsteady on his feet.

"You want me to go back? Sure, didn't you say you wanted me to come to your house for dinner?" With her arms crossed, she tilted her head and looked at Xiao Se, whose face was half red and swollen. This delicate skin couldn't take a beating. It would be a good opportunity to get to know Uncle Xiao. The features of the three people who drew the portrait were so clear that she could take the opportunity to ask them.

Xiao Se never expected her to agree. He glanced at Ma Fei, excitedly grabbed his cane, and helped the three of them take a taxi to the Xiao family home.

The Xiao family's mansion is located next to Mangxing Municipal Government. It is an eighteen-story building housing both a company and a villa. Standing at the foot of the building, the employees inside look incredibly small when they see him, as if they have seen a ghost. They call out "Young Master" and walk around him. Once you reach the tenth floor, you can't go any further. Instead, you need to register his fingerprint to go up. In other words, the floors below the tenth floor are the company, and the floors above the tenth floor are his home.

When they arrived at the twelfth floor, the elevator doors opened to reveal a tiger-skin carpet covering the floor. The room featured a three-meter-long French-style city scene, with details down to the eyes of each person, giving it a high-end and sophisticated feel. There was also a crystal chandelier with chains that looked like pure silver, sparkling in the sunlight. A dozen or so nannies were waiting outside the elevator to greet them. When they saw Xiao Se arrive, they hesitated for a moment, then grabbed his clothes and bag and retreated.

"Tsk tsk, Young Master Xiao Se, son of the richest man on the school board, why are all the employees here afraid of you?" Ma Fei was also here for the first time. It was said that the villa where Xiao Se lived was left by his grandfather. He moved there to make it easier to study and be close to the school. As for him, he lived in the company because it was convenient for working. Important people could be received directly on the rooftop garden.

"Because they're all afraid I'll get fired. Do I look like a delinquent?" Xiao Se hooked her arm around Xiao Fei's and stared at him with wide eyes.

Lin Weiwei, let me show you what real wealth is. Don't think you can act arrogantly in front of me just because you won five million.

Ma Fei swallowed hard. It wasn't just like... it was downright thuggish. He pushed Ma Fei's face away in disgust.

The floor was soft and fluffy, like walking on cotton. Entering the main hall, the servants were all young women in their twenties. They came over carrying slippers and half-knelt to help them change. Then, a robot cat appeared carrying a menu to take their order. A long, rectangular table was covered with white cloths and vases, highlighting the head of the household's noble status. Candles were lit. In the center was an automatic rotating tray with over twenty dishes. Even before sitting down, a mouthwatering aroma filled the air. This explained why Xiao Se was a picky eater and wouldn't eat the nanny's cooking—she had a dedicated chef.

"Welcome, Lin Weiwei. We, the Xiao family, will receive you with the highest honors."

"Thanks, sir, but I don't drink beverages from Earth."

Specifically, she shouldn't drink any products containing hormones because the environment on Mercury is harsh, and the human body is much better off than that of people on Earth. These drinks with artificial coloring would affect her development.
