After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 298

Chapter 298: Third Senior Brother?
“Little Eight went down the mountain?”

In Sanqing Temple, Yun You furrowed his brows tightly.

After much contemplation, he was still worried about his elder brother having an accident. So, before dawn, he climbed the mountain only to find that his soft and gentle little junior sister was not there. His eyes widened in surprise and suspicion as he glared at Li Yuanming. “Master, did you drive Little Eight down the mountain?”

He knew all too well that Master had always disdained Little Eight for her supposed unlucky fate.

Li Yuanming felt a bit guilty upon hearing this, but then he straightened up and retorted, “Nonsense! Am I that kind of person? I foresaw that Zhouzhou would meet her destined person, so I allowed her to go down the mountain. Now she has a father and is living a very good life.”

However, Yun You’s frown deepened, clearly not believing a word. He scrutinized Li Yuanming skeptically. “You foresaw it?”

Just him?

What a rebellious disciple! Understanding Yun You’s disdainful look, Li Yuanming snorted heavily. None of them were easy to deal with, all his disciples were ungrateful. Annoyed, he gave Yun You the address of the Qin family. “Go find Zhouzhou yourself. Then you’ll see if she’s truly living well or not.”

With that, he flicked his sleeves and stormed off. What kind of people were these! Being a master was indeed a laborious task, raising such ungrateful disciples.

Behind him, Yun You noted down the address and immediately descended the mountain. Destined person, huh? Surely Master had sold Little Eight. He intended to see for himself how well this so-called family treated Little Eight!

At that moment, Zhouzhou was sitting in the classroom, stuffing popcorn into her mouth, her hands sticky and messy but unwilling to stop.

Grandma’s popcorn was so delicious. Nom nom nom.

Seeing her eat so happily, Huo Ji’an felt a bit envious. Recently, he had been eating more and his health had improved, allowing him to enjoy more types of food. He skillfully pulled out a bill from his pocket and handed it to her, “Chubby Girl, I want some too.”

Seeing this, Zhouzhou generously shared some with him. “Let’s eat together.”

“Mm!” Huo Ji’an accepted it joyfully and, upon tasting it, his eyes widened.

How could it be so delicious!

“Delicious, right?” Zhouzhou asked.

Huo Ji’an nodded vigorously.

Zhouzhou commented, “You missed out on a lot by not eating before.”

Hearing this, a shadow passed through Huo Ji’an’s eyes. Zhouzhou noticed his strange reaction and was about to ask when a bodyguard approached. He hadn’t followed them these past two days as they were filming a variety show.

The bodyguard handed them some snacks and then turned to Huo Ji’an, pulling out a card. “Young master, Mr. Huo is on a business trip. This is your allowance. The old lady misses you. Do you want to go home?”

Hearing this, Huo Ji’an’s small hands paused. He immediately threw the card on the ground in a fit of anger. “Who cares!”

His eyes instantly reddened. Business trip, business trip, always a business trip. This father is useless!

Seeing him so angry, the bodyguard didn’t dare to persuade him and could only look to Zhouzhou for help. Seeing the bodyguard’s pleading eyes, Zhouzhou decided to help. She looked at Huo Ji’an seriously, “Little Skinny Pole, you’re throwing things around again.”

Huo Ji’an pursed his lips and said sulkily, “I don’t want his money.”

“Why wouldn’t you want the money? Are you stupid? Didn’t you say you wanted to find another dad? How can you do that without money? Even if you want to rent sharp tongue uncle, you need money.”

That made sense. Realizing this, Huo Ji’an picked up the card from the ground and nodded earnestly, “Chubby Girl, you’re so smart.”

“Of course!” Zhouzhou lifted her chin proudly. She was indeed a clever girl!

Bodyguard: “…”

Using Mr. Huo’s money to find himself another dad. What a move. He was speechless. He suddenly felt that if Mr. Huo kept going on business trips, he would really lose his son.

Having figured things out, Huo Ji’an resumed eating. When the teacher came in, they quickly put away their things, placed their small hands on the table, and sat upright, dragging out their greetings in a sweet voice, “Good morning, teacher—”

Seeing that the class was starting, the bodyguard hurried out of the classroom.

The day passed quickly. At dismissal time, Zhouzhou carried her little backpack and obediently walked at the front of the line beside the teacher. Although she was short, she had sharp eyes and immediately ran towards him.

“Daddy!”

Qin Lie held her hand and ruffled her hair.

Ye Lingfeng approached and said triumphantly, “Zhouzhou, I found out who the person who asked you for a fortune telling is. Do you want to know who he is?”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou turned her head immediately, “Who is it?”

“If you call me daddy, I’ll tell you,” Ye Lingfeng said proudly.

Again with this. Zhouzhou pouted and deliberately contradicted him, “Hmph, my daddy knows too. I won’t ask you, I’ll ask my daddy!”

This time, however, Ye Lingfeng didn’t stop her but stood there confidently. Seeing his reaction, Qin Lie’s eyes darkened. As expected, the reason he couldn’t find out who it was because of Ye Lingfeng’s interference. As a war god, it was too easy for him to block information.

Qin Lie gave him a cold glance, then looked at Zhouzhou. Meeting her expectant eyes, he pressed his lips together slightly, “Give daddy a bit more time.”

Oh, he hasn’t found out yet. Zhouzhou was a bit disappointed, but the next moment she hugged his arm and shook it, “It’s okay, daddy. Take your time. I’m not in a hurry.”

Would her lucky pigtails still be safe? Zhouzhou worriedly brushed her hair, feeling a bit troubled.

Ye Lingfeng said, “I know, just ask me.”

Zhouzhou turned her head away from him, pouting. Sharp tongue uncle was the worst, always bullying little kids.

Seeing him tempting fate again, An Ya gave his arm a pat. Realizing his tactic wasn’t working, Ye Lingfeng was about to reveal the answer when Qin Lie’s phone rang urgently. Grandma Qin’s voice came through loudly, “Come back quickly, someone is trying to take Zhouzhou!”

Her voice was loud enough for Zhouzhou’s sharp ears to pick up. Her ears perked up, but she was confused. Who wanted to take her? Was it sharp tongue uncle? But he was right here.

Could it be a human trafficker? The thought of this possibility made Zhouzhou’s eyes light up. Thirty thousand yuan!

Without another word, she urgently pulled Qin Lie towards the car, “Daddy, let’s go back quickly to protect grandpa and grandma!”

It was all money, they couldn’t be late. If they were late, the money would be gone.

Qin Lie didn’t understand what was happening or why his little girl was suddenly so excited. Children’s thoughts always jumped around. Without thinking much, he got into the car. He was curious to see who dared to take his daughter.

Ye Lingfeng had a vague suspicion of who it might be, raising his eyebrows slightly, but he didn’t say anything and followed them into the car. The car sped quickly down the road.

Zhouzhou leaned against the window, and from a distance, she saw someone standing at the door of her house, back facing her. Her eyes brightened even more. As soon as the car stopped, she jumped out eagerly, her short legs running towards the person. “Human trafficker, stop right there!”

Thirty thousand yuan, here she comes!

Hearing the shout, the person instinctively turned around. When they saw each other clearly, both of them were stunned.

“Little Eight?”

“Third Senior Brother?”
