Chapter 367: What About This Little Girl Then?
From Sidekick to Bigshot
As Yu Xi felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, he broke the silence and said to Qin Yufan: âMiss Qin, your gift is indeed incredibly thoughtful, however, Master Sheng does not need such a gift.â
As Yu Xi explained the situation to Qin Yufan, Zhai Yunsheng spoke to Jian Yiling: âNext time, put more meat in the lunch box. I donât want carrots either. Iâm not a rabbit.â
Jian Yiling didnât respond. Instead, she silently reached out for the empty lunch box.
However, Zhai Yunsheng held the lunch box away from her: âIâll get Yu Xi to wash the lunch box and return it to you.â
And thus, Jian Yiling could merely withdraw her hands.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Upon hearing this, Yu Xi grumbled to himself: âI donât know how to wash a lunch box... I donât even know how to wash a sock...â
However, after muttering a couple of words, Yu Xi realized that Zhai Yunsheng was staring at him. He immediately changed his words: âNever mind. I feel like my potential for washing dishes is very good!â
And just like that, the son of the Yu family had been reduced to a dishwasher. What had happened to him?
If Zhai Yunsheng stared at him a few more times, Yu Xi would probably be willing to say that he was a dishwasher in his previous life.
Qin Yufan was still waiting for Zhai Yunshengâs answer. However, it appeared as though he was merely interested in talking about lunch boxes with Jian Yiling.
Why was a cartoon lunch box was worth talking about for half a day?
âMaster Sheng, are you really not interested?â Qin Yufan asked again. She was undeterred by Zhai Yunshengâs lack of response.
If it had been someone else in front of her today, Qin Yufan would not have had such patience and such a temperament.
However, Zhai Yunsheng had always been like this. Not only with her, but with others as well. He had always acted this way.
And thus, Qin Yufan was prepared to face such an attitude.
She wasnât surprised by Zhai Yusnhengâs attitude towards her today. However, she was surprised by his attitude towards Jian Yiling.
Zhai Yunshengâs actions towards this little girl were quite different.
âNo,â Zhai Yunsheng replied. He finally paid attention to Qin Yufan. However, he only replied to reject her gift mercilessly.
âMaster Sheng, are you not interested in the gift itself, or are you not interested in accepting a gift thatâs from me?â
Qin Yufan wanted to know whether or not her gift did not appeal to him or whether he just didnât want anything that she gave to him.
âIâm not interested in either,â Zhai Yunsheng replied with a snort. âMiss Qin, if Iâm interested in something, I will get it myself. I do not need anyone to give it to me. People or things, theyâre all the same.â
Such a decisive and ruthless rejection would have been too much for a normal girl.
However, Qin Yufan was not a normal girl. If she was, she wouldnât have visited the Yu Residence today.
Qin Yufan always believed that if you wanted something, you had to take the initiative to get it. You canât just let an opportunity slip by.
She liked Zhai Yunsheng. And thus, she had to express it and act upon it.
She wouldnât be one of those timid and shy girls who schemed for a so-called âchance encounterâ.
âAhh, it seems like you donât like me. What about this little girl then?â
Qin Yufan wanted to hear Zhai Yunshengâs opinion of Jian Yiling.
She could understand that she was not liked by Zhai Yunsheng. However, she would refuse to accept that such a notorious little girl would be favored by Zhai Yunsheng.
Zhai Yunsheng glanced at Jian Yiling. He realized that Jian Yiling was also waiting for his answer.
Jian Yiling was also not sure why Zhai Yunsheng was helping her again and again. He helped her without asking for anything in return.
Zhai Yunsheng looked at Jian Yiling for quite some time. His eyebrows were slightly knitted and his eyes seemed to be deep in thought. However, he did not answer for a long time.
When Yu Xi realized that the atmosphere was not right, he attempted to help Zhai Yunsheng explain the situation: âMiss Qin, Master Zhai said that he wanted to recognize Jian Yiling as his adopted granddaughter. In a sense, Miss Yiling would be Master Shengâs little sister.â
Such an explanation would be more acceptable to Qin Yufan.
