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

Chapter 49

The reason Li Qingqing knew about this was because in her previous life, after learning that Li Xiaoya had been adopted, she couldn't help but search for related news.

As she searched, she sometimes even found herself wishing she could marry a rich heir like Sheng Yuxiao.

Gradually, she began to pay more and more attention to Sheng Yuxiao and the entire Sheng family.

As a result, she had a particularly vivid memory of some of the major news related to the Sheng family.

This included the signing of a contract with Xiongguang Company.

Unfortunately, this contract went very smoothly and was highly beneficial to Sheng Corporation. There were no risks that needed to be avoided. Otherwise, if she had spoken up about it, Sheng Jun would have surely praised her to the heavens.

The reason she chose to mention this first to prove her ability to predict the future, rather than directly mentioning the death of Xu Ruying's parents, was twofold. First, she wasn't clear on exactly when they would die. Second, saying it outright might be seen as her intentionally cursing them.

Li Qingqing was very satisfied with Sheng Jun's reaction.

She thought to herself, "I'm quite clever after all. I was born to be a winner, the protagonist of this world. It's just that my background has held me back..."

"That sounds interesting," Sheng Jun suddenly spoke up.

More than just interesting, Li Qingqing thought. Wouldn't anyone be overjoyed to encounter such an ability?

Li Qingqing's thoughts turned, and she decided to continue pretending to be an innocent little girl in front of Sheng Jun.

So she looked up and asked in a sweet voice, "Is it interesting?" Her eyes sparkled, with a hint of timidity at the corners. "I've never dared to tell anyone else. I was afraid they'd think I was a freak. I only dared to tell Uncle Sheng..."

"Oh? Why is that?"

Li Qingqing seemed to gather her courage and said, "Because I only trust Uncle Sheng."

Sheng Jun looked at her but didn't immediately show any signs of being moved.

Li Qingqing's heart sank.

Was what she said wrong? She had shown absolute trust and attachment; shouldn't Sheng Jun be delighted?

After a while, Sheng Jun finally spoke again with a smile. He asked, "So how much more can you predict? Can you foresee your own future?"

Li Qingqing suddenly felt immense pressure, sweat slowly soaking through her back.

Fortunately, she had a stroke of inspiration and said, "It's precisely because I've foreseen my own future that I trust Uncle Sheng so much."

"Oh, so what's it like in the future you've foreseen?"

"Uncle Sheng is very good to me."

Sheng Jun smiled and said, "It's getting late. You should go to bed early."

Li Qingqing could only watch in disappointment as he ended the conversation and left.

Did Sheng Jun believe her or not?

She had initially thought Sheng Jun would be the easiest person to win over in this family, but now it seemed... he might not be so easy to handle.

Li Qingqing couldn't help but wonder once again: how did Li Xiaoya manage it in her previous life?

Meanwhile, Xu Ruying returned to the village chief's house.

When Li Song saw her again, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad. He could only squeeze out a sentence: "Miss Xu, you're back? I thought you'd stay with Young Master Sheng."

Xu Ruying's face remained impassive as she waved her hand and said, "Why would I stay there? As his cousin, it's enough that I went to visit him. That dump? I wouldn't want to stay there a second longer."

Li Song was overjoyed to hear this.

He thought to himself, finally, a normal person! Someone who knows to look down on Li Xiaoya's place! Those rich kids before must have been bewitched or something...

"By the way, tomorrow morning I want to eat shengjianbao, soy milk, and crispy shrimp sausage. No, that's not healthy enough. Add a beef and vegetable porridge too."

Li Song's face showed bewilderment upon hearing this.

What? She's ordering a full menu now?

Li Song's face twisted as he forced out a response: "We don't have crispy shrimp sausage here. I don't even know what that is..."

Xu Ruying exclaimed in surprise, "You can't even get that?"

Li Song gritted his teeth silently. He hated rich kids!

"Then make some crab roe noodles. You do have crab roe, don't you?"

"No, we don't."

Li Song could barely manage a smile anymore.

"Fine, then prepare some duck soup noodles. I want it made with proper broth, not from a seasoning packet. That's all. Don't say anything else, I'm tired." Xu Ruying rattled off her orders, giving Li Song no chance to refuse or object.

As Xu Ruying was heading upstairs, she suddenly poked her head back and said, "Also, I'll be up at five in the morning. At five o'clock, I want to see all these things ready." She shrugged and added, "Of course, I'll pay you for it."

It was only this last statement that barely kept Li Song from losing it completely.

She'll pay! She'll pay! Good!

Li Song's smile became even more strained: "I'll do my best to prepare everything for Miss Xu."

Xu Ruying said, "That's what I like about people like you!"

Before Li Song could show any pleasure at this praise, Xu Ruying had already turned and entered her room.

Then she quickly buried her head under the covers, excitedly pounding the bed.

Tomorrow she would recount this scene to that kid. What was her name again? Li Xiaoya? Right, Li Xiaoya.

Sheng Yuxiao might be able to teach her about the business world, but Li Xiaoya might not even be able to learn those things, and even if she did, where would she use them?

She was different.

This kind of people-tormenting skill was something she excelled at! She guaranteed that Li Xiaoya would be able to use what she learned!

Let that bastard Sheng Yuxiao dare to underestimate her as a cousin again! She wasn't stupid!

For the sake of that pot of duck soup, Li Song didn't sleep all night.

The next day, when Xu Ruying heard the alarm clock go off, she really didn't want to get up, but she gritted her teeth and forced herself to do it.

"If my mom saw me like this, she'd think I was possessed by a ghost!" Xu Ruying couldn't help but mutter.

She didn't know that Sheng Yuxiao had already been suspected of being possessed by a ghost.

Xu Ruying freshened up and went downstairs to ask, "Is everything ready?"

"It's ready," Li Song said with huge dark circles under his eyes.

Xu Ruying first offered some praise: "Mr. Li is quite capable after all! Yesterday you said you couldn't do this or that, but you actually can!"

Just as Li Song was about to smile, Xu Ruying waved to her bodyguard: "Pack it up, let's go."

Li Song was startled, his smile disappearing instantly: "Miss Xu, are you going to see Young Master Sheng again?"

Xu Ruying retorted, "I'm concerned about my little brother. Is there a problem with that?"

"No, no problem."

As Xu Ruying walked away with her entourage, she said, "Bring my clothes too. Li Xiaoya said she wanted to use some herbs to fumigate my clothes. Don't forget that."

Li Song stood there as a cold wind blew in through the wide-open door, making him shiver. Overwhelmed by boundless anger and jealousy, he gritted his teeth and cursed, "What do they take this place for?"

At that moment, Xu Ruying was standing at the doorway of Li Xiaoya's house, handing her some food. "This is for you," she said.

Being just a child, facing such a bountiful breakfast was practically no different from arriving in heaven. Li Xiaoya's stomach growled shamelessly, but she still held back and asked first, "Is this from the village chief's house again?"

"It's from a respawn point," Xu Ruying replied with an innocent expression. "Do you know what a respawn point is?"

Li Xiaoya shook her head.

"It's like monsters in a game. When one player kills it, it respawns for the next player to fight. It's like a perpetual motion machine... As long as I'm here, there will be new food every day! That's because I'm awesome. What does it have to do with the village chief's house?"

Li Xiaoya's eyes lit up with understanding. "Oh!"

"So eat without worry. After you're done, you still need to smoke my clothes for me."

"Miss Xu, you're breaking the show's rules..." a staff member interjected.

"I'm not part of your show, so how can it be breaking the rules?" Xu Ruying retorted. Then, putting her hands on her hips, she turned to Li Xiaoya with a smug look and asked, "Do you know what this is called?"

Li Xiaoya played along and asked, "What?"

Xu Ruying said, "This is called dimensional warfare. When you have a certain amount of power in your hands, you can ignore other people's rules! Did you learn that?"

Li Xiaoya nodded silently.

The staff member's face was a mask of resignation.

You rich kids, what on earth are you teaching these days?
