After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 89

Chapter 89: Wealthy Little Zhouzhou
Upon learning about the incident, Qin Yan immediately flew back overnight. When he saw his wife, who was unharmed and sitting on the sofa playing with Zhouzhou, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and walked quickly to embrace her. “Lanlan, it’s so good that you’re okay.”

He had been terrified throughout the entire journey.

The news about Jin Jiajia had already been exposed—she had committed murder on set with a knife, and a bunch of eerie things were found in her dressing room and house.

He was afraid something had happened to Xiao Lan.

Thank goodness, thank goodness.

He held her a bit tightly, but Xiao Lan felt uncomfortable and pushed him away, shaking her head. “I’m fine, thanks to Zhouzhou saving me.”

She then explained the whole story.

To prevent netizens from focusing on Zhouzhou, Qin Lie had already deleted all the clips related to her. He had also taken care of things with the crew, so Qin Yan was unaware of this incident.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan’s brain momentarily froze.

Couldn’t they even find a trace of the person who was kicked against the wall?

A talisman alone disrupted Jin Jiajia’s plan?

He was dumbfounded, looking at the petite girl who barely reached his waist, his mind went blank. Were even four-year-old children this extraordinary nowadays?

He stared at Zhouzhou in astonishment, never expecting her to possess such abilities.

After a while, he snapped out of it and quickly said, “Thank you, Zhouzhou! What gift do you want? Third Elder Uncle will give it to you!”

Qin Lie came downstairs at that moment and overheard his words. He glanced at Qin Yan and replied coolly, “What’s the matter? No more money to spend on this film? Save your money. Zhouzhou doesn’t need anything.”

As he spoke, he walked forward, picked up Zhouzhou, and held a document in his hand. “This is the equity transfer agreement for Optimus Game Company. It has already been transferred to Zhouzhou’s name. She can buy whatever gifts she wants now, so you don’t need to spend any money.”

Optimus? Zhouzhou remembered—it was the game made by Uncle Scratcher.

He said he would give her the company.

Curiously, Zhouzhou looked at the document and asked, “Dad, does that mean I’m the boss now?”

Qin Lie chuckled at her choice of words, almost bursting into laughter. He glanced at the people around and replied coolly, “That’s right. You’re much wealthier than certain people.”

Qin Yan’s expression became even more unsightly. He glared at Qin Lie but didn’t say a word, seething with anger.

Zhouzhou looked at Qin Lie and then at Qin Yan, whose expression instantly turned unpleasant. She slapped her forehead with her small hand, let out a deep sigh, and here we go again.

Every time Dad and Third Elder Uncle met, they couldn’t get along for more than three sentences. Combined, they were at most three years old, and they couldn’t handle any more.

Afraid that they would continue arguing, Zhouzhou hurriedly changed the topic and pulled Qin Lie’s hand. “Dad, can I go and see the company?”

Qin Lie’s attention shifted to her, and he nodded. “Sure, that’s what I intended to do.”

Thinking that she now owned a company, Zhouzhou became extremely happy. She kicked her little legs excitedly. “Dad, put me down for a moment. I’ll go change my clothes.”

Upon hearing her words, Qin Lie set her down and walked towards the sofa. Qin Yan was also being led away by Xiao Lan. He had initially wanted them to reconcile, but he ended up choosing the farthest seat from Qin Yan.

They sat on opposite ends, as if separated by a galaxy. Those who knew understood that they were brothers, but others would think they were enemies.

Xiao Lan sighed and couldn’t be bothered with the two of them. She lowered her head and looked at her phone.

Not long after, Zhouzhou came back downstairs.

Qin Lie looked up but suddenly froze, his cold expression instantly breaking.

Zhouzhou wore a necklace made of a Wealth-Attracting Talisman around her neck. From a distance, it looked like a big gold chain. She had on a pair of oversized floral pants, and her bag was tucked under her armpit. She had a golden pixiu on top of her head and wore sunglasses. She intentionally protruded her belly, pretending to have a beer belly, and walked down with a wide-legged gait, looking like a nouveau riche.

Qin Lie’s mouth twitched. “Zhouzhou, what kind of outfit is this?”

“It’s the style of a big boss,” Zhouzhou replied matter-of-factly. “The big bosses on TV dress like this!”

She nodded and grinned, clearly very satisfied with her appearance.

Qin Lie pinched his brow in a headache, suddenly realizing that his daughter had a rather peculiar sense of aesthetics.

He could tolerate it, but Qin Yan couldn’t. He burst into laughter, clutching his stomach and rolling on the sofa. He took out his phone and took a picture to commemorate the moment.

Zhouzhou stood there with a bewildered look on her face.

Qin Lie immediately became displeased. He gave Qin Yan a cold glance and walked up to hold Zhouzhou’s hand. Against his will, he said, “You look great.”

Qin Yan’s laughter abruptly stopped. He knew that Qin Lie was deliberately going against him. He glared at him and said unkindly, “Qin Lie, don’t distort Zhouzhou’s sense of aesthetics just because you’re angry with me.”

“Lanlan, tell me, does Zhouzhou look good like this?”

Xiao Lan looked at them for a while and nodded earnestly. “She looks good.”

Qin Yan: “…” If this were to be known, Xiao Lan would probably be blacklisted by major magazines.

Ignoring his expression, Xiao Lan genuinely believed what she said. If it were someone else, they would find it ridiculous, but Zhouzhou looked good. She was fair and tender, without the greasiness of a nouveau riche. She exuded a clean and fresh aura, which made her even more adorable.

Quite amusing.

But there was a flaw.

“Wait a moment,” Xiao Lan said and quickly went upstairs. Before long, she came back with a necklace and took off the paper talisman necklace that Zhouzhou made herself, replacing it.

Now it looked even more fitting.

A big gold chain, the trademark of a big boss.

Zhouzhou raised her sunglasses and looked down. She couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow!” She was clearly very happy and couldn’t help but touch it, feeling delighted. “It’s just a bit thinner.”

Xiao Lan wasn’t upset either. She earnestly nodded and said, “Indeed, but this is already the thickest one I have.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Zhouzhou waved her hand, puffing out her belly. “What matters is the demeanor.”

Qin Yan’s eyelid twitched. He looked at them with a speechless expression and couldn’t help but say, “Are you really planning to let Zhouzhou go out like this?”

They would be laughed at.

Little did he know, Qin Lie glanced at him. “What’s it to you? You go out in a fur coat when it’s forty degrees outside. Who are you to comment on Zhouzhou?”

That was for filming!

Qin Yan gritted his teeth and looked at him with some impatience. He knew that if he brought up this matter, they would start arguing again, so he had to suppress his anger.

He remained silent.

Qin Lie went to great lengths to contradict him just for the sake of it.

But it wasn’t entirely that way.

Zhouzhou looked good. Her appearance wasn’t ugly or tacky. In Qin Lie’s eyes, his daughter was the most adorable.

He genuinely didn’t see any problem with her going out like this. The only thing he corrected was her belly and the wide-legged gait.

Zhouzhou didn’t fuss about it either. With joy, she pulled him towards the door.

Seeing Xiao Lan following them, Zhouzhou turned her head and curiously asked, “Third Elder Aunt, are you coming with us?”

Xiao Lan smiled and said, “I forgot to tell you. I just got an endorsement deal, and it’s for Optimus.”

The CEO of Optimus had been exposed for theft and murder and was sentenced to death, causing panic among the company’s employees. Although Qin Lie had already taken over, there were still many doubts from the outside world.

Optimus had initially wanted to find a spokesperson to salvage their reputation, but no one was willing to step forward at the moment.

Xiao Lan volunteered herself, but she didn’t mention this matter. The favor Zhouzhou owed her couldn’t be repaid with just an endorsement deal.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up. “Thank you, Third Elder Aunt!”

They all headed out, and naturally, Qin Yan followed.

However, he drove alone because he didn’t want to ride in Qin Lie’s car, and his wife wanted to play with Zhouzhou.

So he could only drive alone.

While waiting at a traffic light, two cars were side by side. Listening to the lively conversations from the neighboring car, Qin Yan felt a pang of sadness.

He was the one with a wife, so why did he feel more like a lonely person?

It was just unfair!

His grievances lingered around the car, but none of the others noticed.

Arriving at the entrance of Optimus, Zhouzhou looked around and made sure that nobody’s attire was more eye-catching than hers. Satisfied, she nodded.

Today, she was going to be the most eye-catching person!

The limelight of the big boss must not be stolen!

She looked up at the towering building in front of her. It was so high that her head was almost level with the ground. Her center of gravity was unstable, and she almost tilted backward.

Fortunately, Qin Lie quickly supported her head and exerted a little force, stabilizing the little watermelon.

Zhouzhou smiled at him and continued to look at the building in front of her.

The entire company had a grand and high-tech atmosphere.

And now, she was the boss here!

With that in mind, Zhouzhou puffed up her belly and swaggered inside with her chubby arms swinging.

She waved her hand, full of confidence, and said, “Let’s go, Dad! Today, I’ll show you my kingdom!”
