Chapter 71

Others whispered in confusion.

"Who\'s calling you?" Mrs. Qin was also stunned, "And... calling you brother?"

Qin Sui frowned.

He recognized the familiar voice. But that voice shouldn\'t be here at all...

Mrs. Qin, however, looked over more eagerly than him.

"It\'s a young girl!" Mrs. Qin exclaimed excitedly, "Oh, she looks familiar. Let me think..."

Knowing Mrs. Qin\'s memory wasn\'t great, Qin Sui simply looked over himself.

—The person who shouldn\'t be here was actually here!

"Li Xiaoya," Qin Sui slowly uttered that name.

"What? Li Xiaoya? The Li Xiaoya from that show?" Mrs. Qin was incredibly surprised, "So this is what she looks like in person, even smaller and thinner than on TV. Her features are quite pretty though..."

While Mrs. Qin was still commenting and marveling, her son had already started walking towards the girl.

It had been many days since they last met.

Li Xiaoya looked healthier now. She wore a little dress inside and a white down jacket outside. At first glance, she looked like a porcelain doll.

That\'s good.

At least she didn\'t look as pale and fragile as when he had just left her, as if she might vanish from this world at any moment.

Qin Sui stopped in front of Li Xiaoya, leaning down slightly to ask, "Did Sheng Yuxiao bring you here?"

Before Li Xiaoya could answer, Qin Sui denied it himself: "No, that\'s not right. If Sheng Yuxiao had brought you, he would\'ve started fighting me the moment he heard you call me \'brother\'."

Qin Sui paused, then said: "Too bad, there\'s no recording."

"Xiaoya, who is he?" Hearing the young man speak so familiarly with Li Xiaoya, Wei Wenjuan looked over vigilantly.

Qin Sui glanced at Wei Wenjuan and said, "Didn\'t she call me brother? Just consider me her brother then."

Wei Wenjuan: "..." Isn\'t this just fooling around? Xiaoya doesn\'t have a brother!

"I\'m her uncle," Wei Wenjuan quickly added.

Qin Sui was stunned for a moment, his attitude changing subtly.

He politely greeted, "Hello, how should I address you?"

"Surname Wei."

Qin Sui pondered briefly, then asked, "Are you from the Wei Family that just returned from abroad?"

Wei Wenjuan\'s expression immediately improved. He nodded and said, "You\'re much smarter than them."

Qin Sui smiled appropriately, though the smile didn\'t reach his eyes.

He then turned to Li Xiaoya and said in a low voice, "I\'ve been very busy lately, haven\'t watched the show."

In fact, the main reason was that he had no interest in watching Sheng Yuxiao and Li Xiaoya being lovey-dovey on camera!

"Shall we go inside and talk?" Qin Sui asked.

Li Xiaoya nodded and said, "We forgot to bring the invitation..."

She was about to explain further to Qin Sui.

But Qin Sui didn\'t care about that at all. It was just entering a door...

Qin Sui turned to look at the doorman. Before he could speak, the doorman had already reacted, his face turning pale as he said, "I\'m sorry, Mr. Wei. It was my lack of experience that I didn\'t recognize you. Since you know the Qin family, you don\'t need an invitation. You and this young lady, please come in—"

Wei Wenjuan wasn\'t stupid, just bad-tempered since his paralysis. He certainly wouldn\'t choose to continue standing outside.

He gave the doorman a cold glare and swiftly wheeled himself inside.

Li Xiaoya was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Qin Sui.

"Let\'s go," Qin Sui said, and walked in with Li Xiaoya.

The bodyguards and driver were left behind, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"They just... went in?"

"Yeah."

Riding on that wave of anger, Wei Wenjuan had rushed into the banquet hall in one go, feeling mentally unburdened and no longer concerned about how others might view him.

"Xiaoya?" He collected himself and turned back to look for Li Xiaoya.

Li Xiaoya was still walking with Qin Sui.

Qin Sui asked, "How did you suddenly get an uncle?"

"My mother\'s relatives found me," Li Xiaoya answered.

Qin Sui immediately sketched out a story in his mind based on this sentence.

"Were you lost? Or..."

"The police uncle said it was kidnapping."

Qin Sui wasn\'t surprised. After all, he had always felt that Li Xiaoya seemed out of place where she had been living.

He just slightly furrowed his brows: "Then this matter... is not simple."

"Why?" Li Xiaoya looked up at him.

"Your uncle is from the Overseas Chinese Wei Family, which means your mother\'s family has been abroad all this time, and they\'re not ordinary people. How could common traffickers have access to your mother? Logically, vermin like them wouldn\'t have the chance to even see your mother in their lifetime." Qin Sui was quite adept at deducing conspiracy theories.

Li Xiaoya clenched her fists.

Could it be that her mother was also... harmed by Wei Lin?

But if it was him, how dare he report to the police and expose the fact that her mother was kidnapped?

She was still too young, her mind not yet able to fully sort out the entire situation.

Qin Sui asked again, "Why were you stopped outside?"

Li Xiaoya bit her lip: "They said we didn\'t bring the invitation. The invitation was with Wei Lin."

"Who is Wei Lin?"

"He says he\'s my grandfather\'s godson, and he also wants me to call him uncle. But my younger uncle and the others say Wei Lin is a bad person." Li Xiaoya paused, then shared her own thoughts, "I also think he seems like a bad person."

"Without a doubt, he definitely has ill intentions. The invitation was just a way to assert dominance." Qin Sui paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you know why he did this?"

Li Xiaoya hesitated for a moment but still expressed her thoughts: "Is it to make me more obedient?"

Qin Sui nodded and asked again, "How does he treat you in front of others?"

"He seems very nice."

"Why do you think he acts like that?"

"Is it because..." Li Xiaoya thought for a moment, "he wants to get something, but he can\'t do it by himself, he needs me too, right? Is it grandfather\'s money?"

Qin Sui smiled with satisfaction: "You\'re very correct."

Qin Sui had no respect for fools.

It was precisely for this reason that most people seemed like second-class citizens in his eyes. This was why Mrs. Qin had always been worried about him being antisocial.

He very much liked Li Xiaoya\'s intelligence.

Conversing with her wasn\'t tiring.

He even enjoyed this feeling of talking with her, accompanying her to uncover conspiracies.

"But why can\'t he get it by himself?" Now it was Li Xiaoya humbly seeking Qin Sui\'s guidance.

"Most likely because of a trust."

"What\'s a trust?"

Qin Sui rarely had the patience for long explanations to others, but he said, "It\'s a kind of institution."

"Let me give you an example. I have one million dollars. To avoid the risk of others stealing this million dollars, I entrust this money to a certain institution for safekeeping, and specify how this million dollars will be given to a certain person in the future."

"Once the contract is signed, that million dollars no longer belongs to me, nor does it belong to the institution. It only belongs to the beneficiary, but before the contract rules take effect, it doesn\'t belong to the beneficiary either."

"If someone else wants this million dollars, killing me would be useless. Killing the beneficiary would also be useless. Because the contract clearly states that only the beneficiary can receive it. So if the beneficiary dies, all the money might be donated to charity."

"These are the rules of a trust. Do you understand now?" Qin Sui asked.

Li Xiaoya nodded: "I understand."

Qin Sui asked again, "Then how do you think we should deal with Wei Lin?"

Li Xiaoya pursed her lips and said, "I shouldn\'t rush. He\'s the one in a hurry now, right?"

"Hmm? What else?"

"We need to see grandfather first."

Qin Sui smiled once again: "Li Xiaoya, you\'re really smart."
