nThe man in black was holding Zhuangzi in his hands. From time to time, he would glance at the clock at the door. It was half-past seven.

n

n

nIf the kid did not come soon, she would probably be late for class.

n

n

n

n

nHe pointed at Lu Chao.

n

n

nLu Chao looked at him in confusion. “Huh?”

n

n

nXiang Huai said in disdain, “Phone.”

n

n

n“…”

n

n

n

n

nXiang Huai first sent Xue Xi a WeChat message: “Are you still not coming?”

n

n

nAfter he sent the message, the other party did not reply.

n

n

nXiang Huai looked at the clock again, then at Lu Chao and his phone to confirm that he had not seen wrongly. It was indeed 7:40.

n

n

nHe then used Lu Chao’s WeChat and sent a message to his WeChat. Then, he immediately received his message on WeChat, indicating that Lu Chao’s phone also had a signal.

n

n

n

n

nThen why didn’t she reply?

n

n

nAfter pondering for a while, he took out his phone and sent her a message: “Has class started yet?”

n

n

nThis Omnipotent Boss would always reply instantly to Xue Xi on WeChat, but Xue Xi would also reply almost instantly to him. If she did not reply, she must be in class.

n

n

nHowever, the other party still did not reply.

n

n

nAt 7:50 AM, Xiang Huai could no longer sit still and looked at Lu Chao. “Get Jing Fei to locate the little kid’s position.”

n

n

nLu Chao: “…”

n

n

n

n

nIsn’t it just a day without eating? Boss, why are you so nervous?

n

n

nHowever, he still contacted Jing Fei very quickly. After he was given Xue Xi’s number, Jing Fei quickly gave the results: Shangri-La Hotel.

n

n

nWhy did she go to a hotel instead of going to school?

n

n

nAfter pondering for a moment, Xiang Huai suddenly stood up. “Prepare the car.”

n

n

n…

n

n

nShangri-La Hotel.

n

n

nThe Xue family’s car was parked in the parking lot. Xue Xi had just gotten out of the car when she was surrounded by a few people in black suits. Her uncle, Xue Gui, got out of the car and smiled. “You didn’t struggle on the road, so you can be considered smart. After all, it won’t be good if you get into a car accident. Eldest niece, let me tell you. Don’t reject a toast and drink a forfeit. Be good and accompany Mr. Lu for a meal today. When we get back, Uncle will not mistreat you!”

n

n

nXue Xi surveyed her surroundings. This hotel’s parking lot was quite big, and there were many small cars parked there that Xue Xi did not know. However, from the looks of it, they should be very expensive.

n

n

n

n

nThis means that this hotel is not bad, so breakfast should be good too?

n

n

nWith this thought in mind, she followed Xue Gui toward the elevator. When they entered the elevator, Xue Xi slowly replied, “Don’t regret it.”

n

n

nXue Gui’s face, which was somewhat similar to Xue Sheng’s, had a sly smile on it. “Eldest niece, what should I not regret? Afraid that your father will come and settle scores with me? Let me tell you, when both of you are done, your father will be grateful to me! Being able to marry someone like Mr. Lu is much better than being with your hooligan boyfriend, right?”

n

n

nThey took the elevator and arrived at the first floor of the presidential suite. When they reached room 1808, Xue Gui knocked on the door.

n

n

nWhen the door opened, Lu Chao appeared in the hotel’s sleeping robe and glanced at Xue Gui.

n

n

nThe young lady was wearing her school uniform today. She had a high ponytail and was wearing a white baseball cap. She looked clean and obedient, making one’s appetite grow.

n

n

nLu Chao gulped and smiled. “Quickly, invite Ms. Xue in.”

n

n

nBefore Xue Xi could move, the person behind her pushed her.

n

n

nAfter Xue Xi entered the room, Lu Chao closed the door. “Come, Ms. Xue. I’ll serve you breakfast.”

n

n

nThe door slammed shut. Lu Chao’s bodyguards could not help but ask, “Is it really alright?”

n

n

nXue Gui waved his hand. “What’s the matter? That’s my niece! Moreover, how powerful can a young lady be? How can Mr. Lu not be able to handle her?”

n

n

nThe rest of them thought about the skinny girl who had just entered and felt relieved.

n

n

nThen—

n

n

n

n

nThey heard clanking sounds coming from the room. Some of them even bumped into the door and seemed to have opened it, but the door was closed in the next moment.

n

n

nHearing the commotion, they asked ambiguously, “Why are they so worked up?”

n

n

nXue Gui, on the other hand, could not help but stretch his neck out. “Mr. Lu, why are you being so rough? Please don’t hurt my eldest niece. This is a game, but if you hurt her, I won’t be able to make account to my elder brother.”

n

n

nThe rest laughed.

n

n

nIn the room.

n

n

nLu Chao lay on the ground and crawled toward the door with all his might. He wanted to shout, but when he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood. There was even a tooth in the blood.

n

n

nHe turned around in horror and saw the “obedient and weak” student sitting on the sofa. Her misty eyes were fixed on the sandwich in her hand. She seemed to have taken a bite out of curiosity and her eyes lit up.

n

n

nAfter finishing her sandwich, she stood up and walked to the door as though she had not seen him.

n

n

nXue Xi opened the door and walked out. Seeing that her clothes were not torn, Xue Gui was stunned. “So fast?”

n

n

nXue Xi slowly looked at him and paused. “Very slow.”

n

n

n“…Oh, right. I can’t say that men are fast.” Xue Gui sized her up. She had just caused such a huge commotion. Could she really be hurt? He asked, “Erm, Xixi, how do you feel?”

n

n

n“Alright.” Xue Xi looked down at the time. “I’m going to school.”

n

n

nShe grabbed her backpack with both hands and quickly walked toward the elevator. She had only taken two steps when she suddenly heard a panicked voice behind her. “Stop her!”

n

n

nXue Xi quickened her pace and hesitated for 0.01 second. If she were to waste some time and beat this group of people to the ground, she would still struggle to get to class even if she hurried. Hence, she chose the latter.

n

n

nShe arrived downstairs and ran out of the lobby. Just as she was about to take a cab to school, she saw a black Audi parked in front of her. Immediately, the front passenger seat window slid down and Xiang Huai appeared in front of her. “Where are you going?”

n

n

nXue Xi looked at her watch. “School.”

n

n

nShe was late for class!

n

n

nXiang Huai: “Get in.”

n

n

nJust as he was about to open the passenger seat’s door, he saw the little kid sitting neatly behind. Xiang Huai’s hand paused and he slowly retracted it.

n

n

nForget it, I’ll be her chauffeur this once!

n

n

nWith this thought in mind, he started the car. Just as it started, he saw a few people chasing after Xue Xi from the rearview mirror.

n

n

nHis eyes darkened as he asked, “Why were you here today?”

n

n

n“Someone was treating me to a meal.” Xue Xi took out her phone from her bag and took a look. She realized that Canine Teeth and Omnipotent Boss had sent her a message. She replied to the Omnipotent Boss: “There was a small matter just now and there’s no class yet.”

n

n

nThe moment the message was sent out, Xiang Huai’s phone beeped. Xue Xi frowned and looked at his phone in confusion.

n

n

nXiang Huai’s deep voice was heard again. “Who’s treating you to a meal?”

n

n

nXue Xi replied casually, “Lu Chao.”
