Chapter 61: They Can’t Control Her
Chapter 61
Sheng Jun also asked this question: "Inheriting the family business?"
Xu Ruying, who had been sitting on the arm of the sofa, slid down onto the seat. Seeing everyone staring at her, waiting for her to continue, Xu Ruying thought it was quite remarkable.
She cleared her throat and continued, "Uncle, you don't seem to care about Yuxiao's show at all. Well, Li Xiaoya's mother's family has recently come looking for her. They should be quite wealthy."
"Oh? Her mother isn't from around here?" Sheng Jun was surprised.
"No. Her mother speaks Mandarin, is educated, and managed to give birth to such a beautiful and clever child as Li Xiaoya, so of course she's not local. Her mother's entire family are overseas Chinese," Xu Ruying thought it was like a movie plot, and she was fortunate enough to be part of it.
"It depends on which era these overseas Chinese are from. Recent overseas Chinese aren't worth much," Sheng Jun said.
Xu Ruying smiled, "I asked Uncle about it. According to him, their family fortune might not be inferior to the Sheng family's."
Sheng Jun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "If your uncle says so, it's probably true."
Li Qingqing was already dumbfounded.
What?
That rich?
Li Xiaoya's mother's family is that wealthy?
In her previous life, there was nothing like this at all! No relatives ever came looking!
Li Qingqing thought painfully, could it be that the flapping of my butterfly wings changed the course of the plot?
Was it me who brought all this to Li Xiaoya?
The bullet comments also exploded.
[Is this official confirmation? It's not a script, it's real! And Li Xiaoya's mother's family is very rich!]
[Not inferior to the Sheng family, wow, how rich must that be!]
Qiu Lan curiously interjected, "Ruying, according to what you're saying, Li Xiaoya's family went to the mountain village to find her. Has she been taken away then?"
Xu Ruying shook her head, "Not yet."
Not wanting to voice her speculations about the power struggle with the Wei family, she simply said, "Well, Sheng Yuxiao hasn't finished recording the show yet, and Li Xiaoya stubbornly insists on staying to finish it with him."
Hearing this, Li Qingqing felt a rush of blood to her head.
Pretending!
No wonder Li Xiaoya was so well-liked by them, she was too good at pretending! Even at a time like this, she could still act as if she was reluctant to leave, insisting on staying to record the show with Sheng Yuxiao!
Wouldn't a normal person choose to reunite with their relatives first?
Li Xiaoya was simply overacting!
Sheng Jun smiled at this point and said, "The little one is quite loyal."
Qiu Lan also chimed in, "From what you're saying, she does sound like an interesting child."
"You don't know how amazing Li Xiaoya is. She makes this delicious fried rice with eggs, and oh, there's something else that will definitely shock you. Someone even gave Li Xiaoya 1% of their company shares..."
Li Qingqing was shocked once again.
Sheng Jun frowned slightly, "Did Sheng Yuxiao give it to her?"
Xu Ruying waved her hand, "No, it was a local company. To show their gratitude for Li Xiaoya's contribution to their business, they voluntarily gifted her 1% of the shares. Despite her young age and growing up in a mountain village, she's now a shareholder, small as she may be."
Xu Ruying sighed, "She's even more impressive than me."
[Holy crap! Is it that pharmaceutical company that gave her the shares?]
[Li Xiaoya has really hit the jackpot! She's not unfortunate at all. Ever since Sheng Yuxiao came to record the show, she's been living her best life]
[Indeed, even when recording shifted to Li Qingqing's side, everyone's still focused on Li Xiaoya.]
"There's no need to compare yourself to others," Qiu Lan said.
Xu Ruying suddenly smiled, "Yes, Li Xiaoya was absolutely right!"
"About what?"
"She said that no matter how good others might be, you and Dad would never let anyone else be your daughter. I'm irreplaceable."
Qiu Lan smiled, "Mm, she's right about that. This child... is truly perceptive."
The family of three suddenly seemed harmonious.
Sheng Jun stood up to leave, deliberately leaving Li Qingqing behind.
The couple, Xu Huishan and Qiu Lan, didn't object, thinking it wouldn't hurt for the child to learn something.
"There's an assessment project, if you're interested you can come along with us," Qiu Lan offered.
Li Qingqing nodded stiffly.
She thought to herself, surely she wouldn't die so soon, right?
Her stiffness was so obvious that even some viewers noticed.
[Why does it seem like Li Qingqing isn't happy at all?]
[After all, the adults around her have changed to strangers again, and her grandfather is still in jail. How could she be happy?]
Li Qingqing indeed couldn't be happy.
But on the other side, the atmosphere had changed.
Several luxury cars slowly drove into Li Family Village.
The chief director noticed the commotion and looked up to ask, "Is Ning Heng back? Or is it Xu Ruying?"
The assistant director pondered for a moment, "Even if they were back, they have at most two bottoms between them. How could they fill so many cars?"
Everyone thought the assistant director made a good point.
"Then is it Li Xiaoya's relatives coming in a fleet of cars to pick her up?"
"Don't know."
While they were still speculating, the cars had already drawn near, finally parking in a row on the open space in front of Li Xiaoya's house.
As soon as the car doors opened, someone jumped out, shouting, "Brother Sheng! We've come to share in your hardships!"
Led by this person, several others got out one after another, all wearing down jackets from Burberry, Brunello Cucinelli, Moncler, or at the very least, Prada.
Without a doubt, they were all standard rich kids.
This group of rich kids headed straight inside, not even bothering to glance at the production team.
"Did you bring the things?" Sheng Yuxiao asked.
"We brought them, we brought everything. Ning Heng specifically made a list for us," they eagerly responded.
"Then start bringing them in," Sheng Yuxiao said, then sat back down firmly next to Li Xiaoya.
Li Xiaoya blinked in confusion, "They..."
"They're here to spend Christmas with us."
These rich kids were the cream of the crop wherever they went, carrying a natural air of aggression, as if any place could become their domain.
They naturally started bringing things in.
Christmas tree, oven, grill, half a cow, half a sheep, alcohol, candies...
Wei Zhen saw this scene and felt a bit uneasy, "Young Master Sheng, don't you plan to go back to the city for the New Year?"
"Go back to the city for what? Isn't the New Year just about these things? How boring! We've decided to stay here with Brother Sheng this year!"
"Without parents watching, it's so damn free!"
"Yeah, and we don't have to be dragged around by our parents to pay New Year visits."
Before Sheng Yuxiao could speak, the rich kids chimed in one after another.
"I even brought snowboards. Once the snow piles up, we can go skiing."
"If the road wasn't so narrow, we could have driven our RVs in. Then Brother Sheng wouldn't have to live in such a shabby house."
Sheng Yuxiao gave a sidelong glance, "What are you saying? Do you know how to talk?"
They cautiously looked at the little girl sitting next to Sheng Yuxiao.
Before coming, of course they had heard some news about Li Xiaoya.
Someone quickly changed their tune, "The house may be shabby, but the people living in it are wonderful."
Wei Wenqing sat on Li Xiaoya's other side, silently taking in these people, also somewhat shocked.
He gestured to ask Li Xiaoya, "Are they all his friends?"
Li Xiaoya wasn't very sure either, "I think so."
"Is he the son of the Sheng family?"
"Yes."
The reputation of Sheng Corporation was such that even Wei Wenqing, who had been abroad, had heard of it.
Sheng Yuxiao's friends...
"They must all be rich kids?"
"Mm, seems like it." Like Ning Heng, right? Li Xiaoya thought.
Wei Wenqing could barely contain his excitement and happiness. He patted Li Xiaoya's head.
Wei Lin could never control her!
Even someone as picky as Father would probably like her, right?
She only needed to sit here, and others would naturally gravitate towards her! Every person here would be part of her network in the future! Even though her mother had been missing for many years, she could still easily enter high society!
