After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 257

Chapter 257: Sold by Zhouzhou for Fifty
Huo Mingxuan’s temple twitched, he loosened his tie, and narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Asking for trouble?”

Huo Ji’an wasn’t afraid of him at all. Standing with his arms crossed on the sofa, he said, “You didn’t come to pick me up today.”

“I have to work. If I don’t work, where will I get the money to feed you, to treat your illness?”

Upon hearing this, Huo Ji’an’s eyes turned red. “Chubby girl’s dad is richer than you, and he picks her up every day!”

“Who is the chubby girl?”

“Qin Caicai!”

Ah, her.

A thought flashed through Huo Mingxuan’s mind. The little girl was quite cute, but her hairstyle was a bit odd. He casually said, “How do you know her dad is better than me? You should compare yourself to her. If you can be as chubby as her, I’ll pick you up every day too.”

He intended to provoke Huo Ji’an, but unexpectedly, Huo Ji’an thought of something and his voice became sharp. “You’re forcing me to eat!”

Seeing that his expression was off, Huo Mingxuan frowned, about to say something, but Huo Ji’an didn’t want to listen. He screamed and ran back to his room, causing a clattering noise.

Huo Mingxuan called him several times from outside but didn’t wait for him to come out. Then his phone rang again. He furrowed his brows, glanced at the tightly closed door, and headed towards the study.

Huo Ji’an also heard the phone ringing and angrily covered his head with a pillow, trying to block out the sound. Tears fell rapidly, wishing that the chubby girl’s dad could be his dad too.

With this thought, he suddenly sat up. Since his dad didn’t care about him, he didn’t want him anymore!

He would find another dad!

Thinking this, he huffed and puffed as he got out of bed, opened the door, and stuck his head out. Not seeing Huo Mingxuan outside, a sense of disappointment flashed in his eyes. But then he became even more determined and ran out directly.

On the other side, after Qin Lie received Zhouzhou, instead of going home directly, he took her for a stroll at the snack street.

Strangely, today’s snack street was full of meat dishes.

There were takoyaki, grilled meat, grilled squid, grilled chicken, and more. Qin Nan and Qin Bei quickly filled their hands with food, eating with their mouths covered in oil. Even Qin Feng held a few skewers of grilled meat, eating gracefully.

Qin Lie held Zhouzhou in his arms, occasionally observing her reactions. However, he found that the little girl didn’t even drool, remaining calm as if she wasn’t a foodie at all.

He couldn’t help but ask, “Zhouzhou, is there anything you want to eat?”

Zhouzhou shook her head. Just as Qin Lie was about to say something else, he noticed Zhouzhou’s gaze fixed on something. Thinking she had found something she wanted to eat, he turned his head, only to see a little boy.

He couldn’t eat a person, right?

Realizing his wild thoughts, he dismissed them and took a closer look. The little boy seemed familiar, like someone from the Huo family.

Zhouzhou waved her chubby hand. “Huo Ji’an!”

Hearing the voice, Huo Ji’an turned to look at her.

Zhouzhou patted Qin Lie’s shoulder, gesturing for him to put her down. Then she ran up to Huo Ji’an, puzzled. “What are you doing here?”

Huo Ji’an shook his head, refusing to answer.

It was just too embarrassing.

After he left the house, he hailed a taxi without knowing where to go. He could only provide the name of the kindergarten, but when he took out a bank card, the driver said he didn’t have a POS machine. Seeing that he was just a child, the driver let it go.

However, after getting off the car, he didn’t know which way to go. The kindergarten was already closed, and he unknowingly arrived here, where he encountered her.

“Chubby girl, it’s you,” he said weakly.

“I’m not called Chubby Girl.” Zhouzhou, with her plump figure, said seriously, “I’m called Qin Caicai.”

“Oh, got it, Chubby Girl.”

Zhouzhou: “…” So annoyed.

She didn’t hold back and shouted, “Skinny Pole!”

Huo Ji’an didn’t mind, his face grew long, looking very unhappy.

Seeing this, Zhouzhou curiously asked, “What are you doing here?”

“I ran away from home,” Huo Ji’an said casually, “My dad and his job can get lost.”

He looked at Zhouzhou, then glanced at Qin Lie, full of envy, and asked, “Chubby Girl, can I be the child of your family?”

He saw Chubby Girl’s dad carrying her, and his own dad had never carried him.

With that thought, his eyes dimmed again.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s expression tightened. Seeing him staring at Qin Lie continuously, like a hungry wolf eyeing meat, she immediately shook her head, tightly hugging Qin Lie’s leg, and guarded, “No! Dad is mine alone!”

Huo Ji’an’s eyes flashed with disappointment, and unwillingly asked, “Can I rent your dad then?”

“Rent dad?”

Zhouzhou tilted her little head, never having heard of such a thing.

“Yes, rent your dad to me. Just pick me up from school every day, and I’ll give you money.”

As he said that, he took out a bank card.

Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up as soon as she saw it. There were so many golden lights on it!

Qin Lie immediately noticed it, realizing that the little girl’s interest was piqued.

He pointed at her forehead unkindly, “You heartless little brat.”

She was going to sell him like this?

Zhouzhou’s eyes rolled around, and she pouted, beckoning him to lean down so she could whisper something to him.

Qin Lie’s mouth instantly curled up, coughed lightly, and said, “I think that works.”

That’s right, she thought so too!

Seeing his agreement, Zhouzhou immediately looked at Huo Ji’an, “Renting my dad to you, right?”

“Yes.” Huo Ji’an nodded.

“Then it’s a hundred yuan a day for you.”

“Okay.”

“Deal.” Zhouzhou said decisively.

Huo Ji’an was overjoyed and followed them into the car.

From today onwards, he would also be someone who had “dad” picking him up after school.

Qin Nan and Qin Bei were a little dumbfounded, whispering quietly, “Did Zhouzhou just sell her dad?”

Why wasn’t their Youngest Uncle angry? It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

Qin Feng rubbed his chin, looked at Qin Lie, then glanced at Zhouzhou, who was happily holding the bank card. He felt that things weren’t so simple.

Vaguely, he understood something and a knowing smile flashed in his eyes, almost bursting into laughter.

Someone was in for trouble.

However, Huo Ji’an didn’t think so much.

After a short while, the car stopped at the entrance of the Qin family’s house.

He got out of the car, but Zhouzhou didn’t take him inside. Instead, she pulled him towards the next door and pushed him in front of Ye Lingfeng, pointing at him and saying, “Look, from now on, Sharp Tongue Uncle, you’re his temporary dad.”

Seeing the little girl, Ye Lingfeng hadn’t had a chance to speak when he was handed a Skinny Pole little boy.

He looked down at the thin boy and recognized him as Huo Mingxuan’s son.

But he didn’t understand the meaning behind Zhouzhou’s words.

He looked puzzled and asked, “Zhouzhou, what’s going on?”

Zhouzhou shook the bank card in her hand and said, “Sharp Tongue Uncle, Skinny Pole wants to rent my dad to pick him up from school, so I rented you to him. He’ll give me a hundred yuan a day, and I’ll give you fifty. It’s a good deal!”

After hearing everything, Ye Lingfeng went black in front of his eyes.

There was only one thought in his mind.

The little girl sold him!

For only fifty!
