Chapter 183: Qin Sui Has Come of Age, So Choose Qin Sui
Chapter 183
Wei Wenqing turned down the volume on his phone a bit and said, "Let's give Second Brother a call."
"Do we need to? When Li Jiang was caught, Second Uncle wasn't even home!"
Wei Wenqing nodded, staring at Xiao Ya.
Old Mrs. Feng: "..."
Even with the volume lowered, she could still hear!
"Such a big matter, and you're leaving it to a child to handle?" Old Mrs. Feng still felt a belly full of grievances.
If it weren't for the family's enormous debts, and the banks no longer caring about past relationships, only knowing how to demand repayment, and not having anyone capable of shouldering the burden at this time...
How could they have stooped so low as to come here?
Hearing this, Xiao Ya asked, "Do you need an adult? Then wait a moment."
The matter of the pregnancy was beyond her ability to handle.
Grandpa wasn't suitable to be dragged into this affair.
As for Sheng Yuxiao... he was still a minor too, and might not know as much as she did.
Oh! Qin Sui! Qin Sui had just turned eighteen!
Xiao Ya immediately called him.
Qin Sui was surprised to receive the call: "You want to treat me to a meal?"
"Mm, business first, then food!"
"The cafeteria again?"
"It's the holidays, the cafeteria is closed."
Qin Sui thought to himself, thank goodness the cafeteria is closed, then grabbed his car keys and headed out: "Where's the address?"
Xiao Ya quickly fiddled with her phone and shared the location with him.
After doing all this, she pulled Wei Wenqing to sit down.
"Let's wait patiently," Xiao Ya said.
Her small figure exuded a sense of calm composure.
It really seemed as if this big household was now entirely under her command.
Old Mrs. Feng suppressed her displeasure: "Sit down, Siyun."
When Qin Sui arrived, he realized this was the Gui family's house.
"I thought only Sheng Yuxiao had been here before?" Qin Sui asked.
Xiao Ya walked in with him: "Mm, now you've been here too."
Qin Sui's expression brightened a bit.
The people inside, hearing the commotion, stood up in surprise: "Young Master Qin?"
"How come..." How come they've brought an outsider?
Old Mrs. Feng didn't dare to say these words in front of Qin Sui.
But what kind of person was Qin Sui? How could he not see through her unfinished sentence?
He asked Old Mrs. Feng in return: "You think I'm an outsider?"
Then he deliberately asked Xiao Ya: "Am I an outsider?"
Xiao Ya shook her head and said very seriously: "Grandpa is your godfather, so you're my brother, and my uncle is your uncle."
Qin Sui nodded, then looked at Old Mrs. Feng again: "Mm, we're family."
Old Mrs. Feng was a bit speechless, but she was more unwilling to offend the Qin family than the Wei family.
She had no choice but to explain the situation again.
After listening, Qin Sui was shocked for a moment, then pulled Xiao Ya aside to ask: "Why did you think of calling me over?"
"Because you're an adult."
"Even if I'm an adult, I still..." Qin Sui suddenly stopped, realizing that the reason Sheng Yuxiao wasn't chosen was probably because he was unfortunately a few months too young.
"When the teacher taught us about hygiene, they said that once you become an adult, you know everything," Xiao Ya looked at him as if she was already seeing a reliable adult.
Qin Sui rarely had such a stiff expression: "Ah, is that so."
Xiao Ya asked in a low voice: "So do you think they're lying?"
"I..." don't know.
As Qin Sui hesitated, he changed the subject: "What did your young uncle say?"
"He said it's not true. I believe him, but Miss Xing is also very adamant, saying they can do a paternity test..."
Qin Sui thought of a question: "Can they do a paternity test now?"
"It's just a small embryo now, they'd have to wait at least four months, right? Is the Wei family so heartless that they'd dig it out to check?" Old Mrs. Feng snorted coldly.
"No wonder," Qin Sui muttered softly.
No wonder they were so confident.
Qin Sui indeed didn't understand this.
But he made a phone call and asked around some doctors.
"It can be done at two months, and it's not many days away," Qin Sui raised his chin slightly.
Old Mrs. Feng looked at Wei Wenqing: "Do you think so too?"
Wei Wenqing nodded.
"Fine, we'll be generous. Let's do a test when the time comes," Old Mrs. Feng relented.
After saying this, she glanced at the clock on the wall: "It's getting late..."
It was just about time for dinner.
Wei Wenqing made two gestures to a servant nearby, who immediately went to prepare food.
Old Mrs. Feng smiled when she saw this.
His personality might be too soft, but at least he knew to take on some responsibility now...
Meanwhile, after making the gestures, Wei Wenqing tugged on Xiao Ya's sleeve, his phone volume as loud as ever: "Let's go out to eat."
Old Mrs. Feng: "..."
Soon, only the two of them were left.
Old Mrs. Feng composed herself and said: "It's alright, this place will be your home in the future anyway, it's good to get used to it early."
Xing Siyun felt a bit awkward but didn't say anything. Their family was used to letting the old lady make decisions.
To show sincerity, Xiao Ya took Qin Sui to a high-end restaurant.
While they were eating, Sheng Yuxiao suddenly received a call from Ning Heng.
"Brother Sheng, you know my family has a media company, right? They usually handle negative publicity for celebrities... While investigating some internet trolls, they found someone using Xiao Ya's name as clickbait, writing several gossip posts."
This was actually a very small matter.
But Sheng Yuxiao said after hearing this: "Forward them to me to look at."
"Alright," Ning Heng responded, "We've already notified the platform to delete the posts, but inevitably some self-media and platforms won't comply..."
"It's fine, I'll take a look."
Sheng Yuxiao said as he hung up the phone.
Soon, several posts appeared in his message inbox.
The content was roughly the same.
"Explosive! Did you know Li Xiaoya's uncle is fooling around and refusing to take responsibility?"
Sheng Yuxiao cursed: "What the hell is this?"
When Xiao Ya's phone rang, Wei Wenqing was just trying to pick up some tofu for her, breaking one piece after another, and was about to switch to a spoon...
Xiao Ya answered the phone: "Hello, Sheng Yuxiao."
Hearing the name, Qin Sui put down his chopsticks with a noticeably louder sound.
"Did your uncle get a girlfriend?"
"Huh?"
"I saw a post, is it aimed at your maternal grandfather's family? Or at you? Or even more maliciously, at the Zhang family?" Sheng Yuxiao's tone was slightly cold.
"What post?" Xiao Ya put the phone on the table and turned on the speaker.
Sheng Yuxiao's voice thus reached Wei Wenqing and Qin Sui's ears.
After listening, Wei Wenqing frowned a bit angrily, but then his expression smoothed out again.
He didn't care about his reputation.
"Agreeing so readily, turns out there was another card to play," Qin Sui said coolly.
"Why is Qin Sui there?" Sheng Yuxiao's tone changed.
Qin Sui didn't say it was because he was embarrassed that he was a few months older and became an adult first, so he was luckily chosen by Xiao Ya.
He only said: "After all, the relationship is different now."
"How is it different?" Sheng Yuxiao asked, then realized the answer to his question.
Because... Qin Sui had to call Old Mr. Zhang "godfather", so the relationship indeed... was really different now!
Sheng Yuxiao hung up first, then cursed.
After cursing, he called back again.
"Why did the line cut off just now?" Xiao Ya tilted her head and asked.
"Bad signal," Sheng Yuxiao said without even blushing.
Then he continued: "So, the test actually can't be done now... but with these posts, the more you delete them, the more interested the public becomes, and they're using Xiao Ya's name to gain attention, taking advantage of the recent buzz about Xiao Ya recognizing her relatives. Such a low-level trick, it's disgusting and hard to deal with."
"Yeah, we're in a society ruled by law now, and we can't do anything to a pregnant woman," Qin Sui's tone carried a hint of regret, the kind that would make his mother's head explode if she heard it.
Xiao Ya wasn't very worried though. She licked her chopsticks and said: "I have more than one uncle."
"There's also Wei Lin," she said.
