After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 464

Chapter 464: Are You Tattling on Me?
Zhouzhou was unhappy, very unhappy indeed. She had everything including the packing boxes ready, only to be told she couldn’t pack them?

Not being able to pack meant and not being able to recoup her investment, all the money would be lost!

Instantly, her whole demeanor soured, glaring at Mr. Luo with an unfriendly look in her eyes.

In Mr. Luo’s eyes, a hint of displeasure flashed momentarily, finding Zhouzhou’s words inauspicious.

Yet his emotions quickly dissipated, turning to Qin Lie. “Mr. Qin…”

He looked troubled, cautiously asking, “Have I offended Miss Qin in any way?”

He looked like a victim who didn’t want to make a fuss. Hearing this, Zhouzhou immediately turned her head, her chubby cheeks puffing up, her round eyes staring at him guardedly. “Grandpa, are you tattling on me to my dad?”

Don’t think she couldn’t tell. She might be young and honest, but she wasn’t foolish. Being honest just made her even angrier!

She kindly reminded him without blaming him for disrupting her plans, yet he still dared to tattle? Humph, what a scoundrel!

Caught off guard by the blunt accusation, Mr. Luo’s mouth twitched, feeling somewhat embarrassed for a moment.

In the world of business, people often beat around the bush, even if they understood, they wouldn’t say it directly. He hadn’t encountered such an awkward situation in the marketplace for years.

But what made him even more embarrassed was yet to come.

Qin Lie calmly picked up Zhouzhou and placed her on his lap, supporting her chubby belly to prevent her from falling, displaying a protective stance.

A smile appeared on Zhouzhou’s face as she nestled comfortably in his arms, her chubby legs swaying, lifting her plump double chin proudly to look at him.

The scoundrel wanted to sow discord between them? Not a chance!

Seeing them like this, Mr. Luo’s expression immediately changed. Qin Lie raised an eyebrow, glancing at him indifferently.

“No offense before, but now there is. Instead of complaining here, Mr. Luo, you’d better go check on your son.”

At his words, Mr. Luo’s expression changed again, wondering if there was really some unexpected situation.

Today, many people were invited, and if the wedding couldn’t proceed, it would be a huge embarrassment indeed.

Realizing he hadn’t seen his son for quite a while, Mr. Luo couldn’t sit still anymore, quickly getting up. “Mr. Qin, please excuse me for a moment.”

With that, he hurriedly left.

Mrs. Luo was puzzled, attributing everything to Zhouzhou, spoiling the joyous occasion with such ominous words.

Thinking she was being subtle, she glanced at Zhouzhou, but to her surprise, Zhouzhou immediately noticed, turning her head to stare back with even bigger eyes, softly warning, “Granny, if you keep staring at me, I won’t be polite to you.”

Hearing this, the others seated around the Qin family also looked over, especially Qin Lie, whose gaze was faint yet somehow exuded a powerful sense of oppression.

Even Ye Lingfeng beside him lost his carefree attitude, his eyes carrying a hint of coldness, sending shivers down Mrs. Luo’s spine.

Strange, how could a playboy possess such strength?

Mrs. Luo wondered, sweat forming on her forehead. Feeling flustered, she awkwardly forced out a smile, “What are you talking about, you must have misunderstood.”

Thinking Zhouzhou was easy to deceive, Mrs. Luo didn’t expect Zhouzhou to be so sharp.

“Nonsense, I saw it with my own eyes. And I also saw that you, Granny, are in for a streak of bad luck today.”

Pointing to her forehead, Zhouzhou said seriously, “It’s especially dark here.”

Instantly, Mrs. Luo couldn’t maintain her smile anymore, hastily leaving to avoid revealing her disgust any further.

That child adopted by the Qin family couldn’t talk properly, but she was so ill-fated!

Mrs. Luo was repulsed, but the Qin family knew Zhouzhou’s capabilities very well. Zhouzhou never lied; if she said something, it must mean something.

The Luo family might really be in trouble today.

Not interested in these matters, Qin Er was only concerned about one thing. He asked, “Can we still recoup our investment and pack up today?”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou immediately became nervous, her little face creasing with worry. Qin Lie smiled faintly, pinching her chubby cheek.

“Don’t worry, we haven’t given the bridal gifts yet, so we won’t lose money.”

“And if the Luo family really cancels the wedding, they’ll have to compensate us in some way,” Qin You added.

He looked refined and courteous, but there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.

As a businessman, he wasn’t as ruthless as Qin Lie, but having been in the business world for so long, if he were really that naive, he would have been chewed up long ago.

Dare to bully their Zhouzhou? Hmph, they’re asking for trouble.

Thinking this, his smile widened a bit more.

Zhouzhou turned her little head to look at him, as if seeing him for the first time, looking at him as if he were something rare. Grandma Qin noticed her gaze and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

Zhouzhou shook her head, staring up at Qin You intently. “I suddenly feel like Eldest Uncle and Eldest Brother look very similar.”

Especially the expression just now, like they were up to no good.

But she liked it!

Grandma Qin misunderstood her, thinking she meant they looked alike, casually saying, “That’s nothing, after all, they’re father and son.”

But she wasn’t talking about appearance.

However, Zhouzhou didn’t explain, just smiling and extending her chubby paw towards Qin You.

Qin You was also somewhat surprised by his niece’s sudden closeness, especially since he was busy with work and rarely came home.

He smiled and pinched the little girl’s chubby paw, feeling its softness. No wonder his son, who had always been intelligent, was always vying for attention.

Who wouldn’t want to spend more time with such a little girl?

But not Mr. and Mrs. Luo.

Mrs. Luo quickly caught up with Mr. Luo’s pace, glanced around, saw no one, and couldn’t help but complain, “That stinky girl is so rude. Even though she’s lucky to be adopted by the Qin family, she’s still so uncouth.”

Saying this, her eyes were full of disdain.

Mr. Luo nodded in agreement. Now that they weren’t in front of the Qin family, their true colors were revealed.

“If she wasn’t from the Qin family, I would have slapped her long ago. Even a mere girl like her is being spoiled by the Qin family,” Mrs. Luo continued, scornful.

Mr. Luo shared the same sentiment, stepping into the elevator briskly. “Enough, let’s go see what’s happening with Jinhui. We can’t afford any mishaps now.”

“What mishaps could there be? I’ve checked it myself. The child in Deng Meimei’s belly is a boy. Otherwise, I would have sent her away like the previous ones. Now that there’s a chance for her to enter our family, she wouldn’t ruin the wedding, would she?”

Mrs. Luo sneered, looking down on this new daughter-in-law. “And as for Jinhui, there’s nothing to worry about. He’s so filial, he won’t mess up. Don’t listen to that little girl’s nonsense.”

Mr. Luo also thought nothing would go wrong, but he didn’t know why, the ominous feeling in his heart grew heavier and heavier.

Ding! The elevator opened, and Mr. Luo strode out.

Soon, he arrived at the bride and groom’s resting room. Hearing no movement inside, he felt somewhat relieved.

Mrs. Luo pushed the door open and walked in directly.

Seeing Deng Meimei in her wedding dress with her back turned to her, Mrs. Luo’s expression immediately soured. “You don’t even turn around when you see me. Is this how uncultured you are?”

Her tone was full of disdain.

When Deng Meimei heard the voice, she slowly turned around, her body inexplicably stiff.

Mrs. Luo didn’t notice this scene. She was about to continue speaking when suddenly she saw something.

The words she was about to say got stuck in her throat, her eyes widened in horror, and she exclaimed, “Ah——”
