<h4>Chapter 60</h4>
Hearing his words, Sheng Yuxiao wanted to say that he was underestimating Li Xiaoya too much.
But Li Xiaoya herself spoke first. She crouched in front of Wei Wenqing and said softly, "You are Mom''s family. Mom loves you, so I will love you too."
Wei Wenqing let out a heavy sigh from his throat, then hugged Li Xiaoya tightly.
The people he had encountered, whether old or young, always put their own interests first.
The younger the children growing up in such an environment, the more cruel they seemed to be.
The first word they learned in life was "dignity."
Fortunately, he, an undignified person, was now epted.
Wei Wenqing affectionately stroked Li Xiaoya''s hair, then released her and gestured again: "Uncle will love you too."
Li Xiaoya nodded: "So it''s a happy thing."
Yes, yes, it''s a happy thing! Wei Wenqing forced a smile.
And so Wei Wenqing stayed temporarily.
He shaved his beard and temporarily changed into Sheng Yuxiao''s clothes. Fortunately, although Sheng Yuxiao was young, he was tall, so the clothes fit well.
Li Xiaoya also helped him treat the scrapes and bruises on his body.
After washing up, the man''s appearancepletely changed.
His features were soft, his demeanor clean. When he sat under the eaves, the wind and snow that brushed past his face seemed to slow their pace.
The live stream audience now knew that the production team had picked up a homeless mute man outside.
Some even joked, asking if the production team had be addicted to doing good deeds.
At this moment, the camera focused on him, and viewers couldn''t help but exim:
[Can a mute man be this good-looking?]
[Good catch!]
[Haha, it seems the young master Sheng doesn''t think so...]
Wei Wenqing had finally found his sister''s orphaned child, and his familial affection had no outlet.
When Li Xiaoya woke up tob her hair, he insisted on doing it for her.
When Li Xiaoya drank water, he rushed to blow on it to cool it down.
When Li Xiaoya walked to the threshold, before she could step out, he picked her up and ced her on the other side.
[Sheng Yuxiao: I''ve confirmed it, he''speting with me for chores.]
[He must hate the production team now]
[But why is this man so attentive to Li Xiaoya?]
[Maybe he once had a daughter of simr age, but she died of illness, his wife divorced him, and he cried himself hoarse in one night, bing a homeless person?]
[This story sounds quite usible]
Wei Wenqing thus entered the audience''s view in a particrly eye-catching manner.
And the viewers hade up with wild spections about his identity and background.
The show suddenly had another hot topic of discussion.
It was precisely because of the audience''s wild spections that Wei Zhen temporarily let down his guard.
Moreover, Christmas was approaching, followed by New Year''s Day, and then the Lunar New Year. No matter how cruel Sheng Yuxiao''s mother was, sending her son to this poor mountain vige for "reform," she wouldn''t be heartless enough to let the Sheng family''s only son spend the New Year outside, would she?
By then, when Sheng Yuxiao leaves, Li Xiaoya would be able to leave with him.
Wei Zhen didn''t know that the audience was alsomenting on him at this moment.
[What is this guy sneakily thinking about?]
[He doesn''t seem like a good person! He ims to be from Li Xiaoya''s mother''s family, but after all this time, we still haven''t seen any family members show up]
[I''ve been saying it''s all scripted! You wouldn''t believe me! Even picking up a mute man is obviously scripted. I give up. It''s not even as interesting as Li Qingqing''s side]
Li Qingqing, who was mentioned in thements, was just being led into the Xu family''s house by Sheng Jun at this moment.
In the living room, Xu Ruying was chatting with her parents.
"How is it? Isn''t she an interesting child?" Xu Ruying asked.
Xu Ruying''s father, the eldest son of the Xu family, Xu Huishan, nodded repeatedly: "She is quite interesting."
Sheng Jun stepped in and asked with a smile, "What are you discussing, brother?"
Xu Huishan enthusiastically stood up to wee his brother-inw in, saying, "Ruying was just telling us about a child she met in Li Family Vige. Said she''s very insightful."
"Li Xiaoya?"
"Yes, you know her too?" Xu Huishan was surprised.
Sheng Jun smiled as he sat down: "How could I not know? Yuxiao likes her very much. When Yuxiao was injured during the show''s filming, I went to visit him and happened to meet this Li Xiaoya."
"Is this child really that exceptional?" Xu Huishan paused, then said, "Ruying even said that if we met her, we would definitely like her."
Hearing this, Li Qingqing was shocked to her core.
What? Xu Ruying had given such high praise?
Even Xu Ruying had been easily won over by Li Xiaoya?
"It''s hard to say. Children view things from a different perspective than we do," Sheng Jun said with a faint smile.
Xu Ruying suddenly spoke up: "Uncle, why did you bring her here?"
As she spoke, her gaze was fixed on Li Qingqing.
Sheng Jun said, "She greatly admires your parents. You know how children are: it''s rare to find one eager to learn and improve. I thought it would be good for her to spend some time with your parents, learning about biology and zoology."
The show was still being recorded, and when Sheng Jun said this, thements exploded with excitement.
[They''re being so good to Li Qingqing?]
[Ah, it''s so good to have rich people backing you up. Such a young child can already learn from top university professors!]
The viewers were incredibly envious.
But Li Qingqing couldn''t smile.
She knew why Sheng Jun had brought her here. It was because she couldn''t give the exact time when Xu Ruying''s parents would have an ident. Sheng Jun hadn''t med her, only saying, "In that case, you should stay by their side until they avoid the ident."
In other words, if they couldn''t avoid it, wouldn''t she have to die with them?
Li Qingqing was full of unspoken bitterness.
Just as she had pretended to admire Xu Qii before, now she had to continue pretending to greatly admire Xu Ruying''s parents.
"Admire us?" Xu Huishan was even more surprised, "I thought children wouldn''t like this stuff. Ruying certainly doesn''t."
In the past, Xu Ruying would have been furious hearing this.
But now, thinking of what Li Xiaoya had said, Xu Ruying wasn''t angry anymore. She pouted and said, "I just don''t like it. Li Xiaoya really likes these things. In the future, let her be your student and apany you in your research."
Xu Huishan gave her a strange look.
They hadn''t argued today!
Xu Ruying red back: "What are you looking at? I can grow up too. Although you always say I''m not like your daughter, I don''t get angry with you anymore."
Sheng Jun smiled and said, "That''s better. We''re all family, why keep having disputes?"
Xu Ruying nodded, then added, "But I think when the timees, you might not be able to have Li Xiaoya as your student."
Xu Huishan was puzzled: "Why not?"
"Because Sheng Yuxiao won''t allow it! You don''t know, Sheng Yuxiao is like, oh right, like a dragon guarding its treasure. He rarely lets others y with Li Xiaoya. He likes to teach Li Xiaoya himself, teaching English and even finance. Uncle''s whole set of skills, he''s nearly taught it all to Li Xiaoya," Xu Ruying said.
Xu Ruying''s mother, Qiu Lan, couldn''t help but say, "He''s really treating her like family."
Li Qingqing listened, her nails digging into her palms.
Xu Ruying had no idea what she was thinking and continued, "Besides, even if Sheng Yuxiao doesn''t interfere, Li Xiaoya will probably go back to inherit some family business in the future, right?"
Li Qingqing almost couldn''t hold back a sarcasticugh.
Inherit the family business?
What family business did Li Xiaoya have to inherit?
