After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 92

Chapter 92: Scaring Sixth Elder Brother
“Dad wasn’t here today, and Third Elder Uncle didn’t eat much. He looked gloomy,” Zhouzhou continued. Seeing his pursed lips and a hint of concern in his expression, she added, “Third Elder Uncle also said that you used to have a good relationship, and he really wants to go back to the way things were.”

Of course, Qin Yan didn’t say those words himself. He was the type who would stick to his guns even when his bones were burnt to ashes.

Qin Lie, being a smart person, immediately caught on and gave her a sidelong glance. “No need to exaggerate.”

“I’m not,” Zhouzhou innocently looked at him. “I just repeated what Third Elder Uncle said.”

Qin Lie fell silent.

Zhouzhou looked at him, and suddenly, she cupped his face with her chubby hands, her round face earnestly advising him, “Dad, if there’s something, you should talk about it. There shouldn’t be any lingering grudges between brothers.”

Thinking about it, she added, “Or should you guys have a fight?”

That’s how her senior brothers handled things. Whenever they were unhappy, they would fight it out that day and then talk it through while lying down. They never held grudges because they settled their scores on the spot.

Hearing this, Qin Lie sneered, “If I fight him, it’ll delay his filming progress, and then he’ll blame me.”

After saying that, he lifted Zhouzhou and put her on the bed. “Alright, go to sleep now.”

Zhouzhou refused to sleep. She sat up and used all four limbs to grab onto his leg, preventing him from leaving. Looking up at him, she gossiped, “Then why didn’t Dad let Third Elder Uncle take that role?”

Upon hearing that, Qin Lie’s expression turned even worse. His thin lips parted slightly. “That idiot.”

Being sold out and still helping count the money. Ha, everyone else is good, but he’s the only one who can harm himself.

Thinking about it, his expression grew even darker. He pulled Zhouzhou off him and wrapped her in a blanket, preventing her from moving around. “Go to sleep. It’s an adult matter, and kids shouldn’t meddle.”

With that, he left.

Zhouzhou rolled around on the bed. It won’t work if she continues like this—they’ll really become enemies.

Thinking about it, Zhouzhou worriedly touched her bald head. Luckily, she didn’t have any hair, otherwise, she would have lost it all.

She was still pondering the situation and couldn’t sleep. She quietly got up again and tiptoed to a room. She poked her head in and whispered, “Eldest Brother, are you asleep?”

“No,” Qin Ren’s voice quickly came out. He put down the book in his hand and walked over. When he saw his little cousin, he immediately smiled and reached out his hand, saying, “Come in.”

Zhouzhou naturally held his hand and walked in.

Qin Ren took out some snacks and placed them on the table.

He didn’t like eating snacks himself; they were all prepared for Zhouzhou.

Seeing the little girl frowning, he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”

Before Zhouzhou could speak, she let out a heavy sigh. She sat cross-legged on the bed, propping up her cheek with her hand, and recounted the situation. The small plumpness on her face unintentionally squished together, giving her a chubby appearance.

Qin Ren flicked his fingertips, feeling a tickling sensation. He restrained the urge to pinch her face and listened to her finish before saying, “So, you want to reconcile Third Elder Uncle and Youngest Uncle and make them get along?”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Zhouzhou nodded repeatedly. That’s what she meant. “Eldest Brother, do you have any ideas?”

Qin Ren thought for a moment. “Let me check something first.”

As for what he wanted to check, Zhouzhou didn’t understand.

Following him to the desk, she watched his fingers quickly typing on the keyboard, feeling curious as she stood on tiptoe and took a peek.

Seeing this, Qin Ren raised his hand and lifted her, placing her on his lap. He quickly felt her face, which was soft and bouncy. It had a great texture. Only then did he satisfactorily put his hand back on the keyboard.

Zhouzhou didn’t pay much attention. She gently swung her short legs and, seeing several photos suddenly appear on the computer screen, before she could examine them closely, her eyes were covered by him.

Everything went dark, and she involuntarily let out a “huh” sound. Blinking her eyes, her long eyelashes brushed against the palm of his hand, tickling her. Her little head also tilted, seemingly puzzled as to why he didn’t let her see.

Qin Ren didn’t say anything. After storing the files with violent scenes in another folder, making sure there were no issues, he finally let go of her. “Alright.”

He pushed the computer slightly forward, explaining, “These are from the project Third Elder Uncle previously took. The director has a lot of serious scandals. If they were exposed, the whole crew would be affected.”

Naturally, he didn’t search directly on Baidu; he hacked into the director’s computer and found some information. Seeing these things, he finally understood why Youngest Uncle didn’t want Third Elder Uncle to take that script.

This director dared to evade taxes, even used drugs, and had a terrible character. He had been involved in many cases of forced relations. If Third Elder Uncle really joined the project, who knows how much dirt he would get on himself.

Of course, Qin Ren didn’t say these things. He didn’t want to dirty Zhouzhou’s ears.

But Zhouzhou understood. It was the director who had a problem, so Dad didn’t let Third Elder Uncle take the role.

She gently placed her hand on his arm, leaned forward, took a few glances, and asked, “What about the script Dad gave to Third Elder Uncle?”

“That script has no problem. Director Zhang Ming is famously obsessed with dramas. He has a bad temper, but he judges things objectively. He doesn’t have many projects, but each one is a masterpiece. Moreover, the male lead in this new script is very suitable for Third Younger Uncle. It aligns well with his own personality,” Qin Ren explained.

“Then isn’t that a good thing?” Zhouzhou asked, puzzled. “Dad always does the right thing, so why didn’t he say it?”

“Don’t you know your Third Younger Uncle’s personality?” Qin Ren asked.

Stubborn! As soon as he said that, Zhouzhou immediately understood. She shook her feet and nodded seriously, “That’s right! Dad likes it when I don’t speak the truth, and he only speaks when I use the Truth-Telling Talisman.”

She finished speaking and became angry.

Zhouzhou sighed deeply. Her stubborn father was causing her a lot of worry and making her lose her hair.

Qin Ren couldn’t help but laugh at her vivid expression. He was about to say something when the door was knocked again.

“Eldest Brother!”

Qin Nan and Qin Bei rushed in. When they saw Zhouzhou was also there, Qin Bei’s body froze, his expression changed drastically, and he took a few steps back in fear. “You, why are you here?”

Zhouzhou curiously looked at him and blinked. “I’ve been here the whole time.”

Qin Nan also looked at him with confusion. “What’s wrong with you?”

He could sense his emotions, and he seemed afraid. But why would he be afraid of his little cousin? She didn’t hit people. But she could hit ghosts!

Thinking of the incident at Cui Rong’s house that day, Qin Bei’s face turned pale, and he felt panicked. He grabbed Qin Nan’s hand, swallowed nervously, and said, “She can see ghosts!”

He was about to run, but Qin Ren’s expression darkened. He walked over in big steps, pressed the door, and blocked his way.

“El… Eldest Brother?” Qin Bei looked at him in astonishment, backing a few steps in fear when he saw him holding Zhouzhou. He leaned against the door, nowhere to hide, and stopped. He looked at Zhouzhou, almost on the verge of tears, raised his hand, stomped his foot heavily on the ground, and waved his hand forward with a menacing look, saying, “Back! Back! Back!”

Qin Ren: “…” This cousin seems a little crazy.

Zhouzhou: “…” Sixth Elder Brother doesn’t seem very smart.

Qin Nan: “…” He covered his face, pulling his arm away. He didn’t want to share the same face with him anymore. It felt like he had lost his own face!

Seeing his silly cousin, Qin Ren was speechless. “So, what do you plan to do?”

Sweeping his gaze over his hand, he felt a bit awkward for a moment. Did he intend to use his fool’s magic to repel Zhouzhou’s supernatural powers?

Seeing his expression, Qin Bei felt wronged. He forced himself to say, “Of course, I’ll tell Grandpa and Grandma.”

To keep them away from Zhouzhou!

“They already know,” Qin Ren said.

Surprised, Qin Bei was taken aback. “Then I’ll tell Youngest Uncle.”

“Youngest Uncle also knows,” Qin Ren continued without waiting for his response. “Second Younger Uncle, Third Younger Uncle, Third Younger Aunt, Fourth Younger Uncle, and Fourth Younger Aunt all know. My parents don’t know yet, but even if they find out, they won’t say anything.”

Qin Bei was stunned. He didn’t expect his parents to already know. Then why did they let him come here?

He felt scared. Sniffle, sniffle.

Seeing him trembling, Qin Ren glanced at him. “So what if you can see ghosts? Zhouzhou is powerful, and she won’t do anything to you. What are you afraid of? Zhouzhou saved Seventh Younger Brother’s leg and Third Younger Aunt. Have you ever seen her harm anyone?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Nan looked puzzled. “My mom was saved by Zhouzhou?”

“Yes,” Qin Ren said. He didn’t have the habit of doing good deeds anonymously, especially now that his cousin was so resistant to his little cousin. He wanted them all to know.

Qin Nan thought for a moment. He also knew about the incident on Weibo. It was said that someone wanted to harm his mother but was saved in the end. So it was his little cousin who saved her.

Thinking about it, he looked at Zhouzhou curiously.

“I also saved Sixth Elder Brother,” Zhouzhou added. “There was a ghost attached to him before, so he couldn’t eat during that time.”

No wonder.

Qin Bei remembered that there were a few days when he really couldn’t eat. It was only after returning from Cui’s house that he returned to normal.

So she helped him?

Thinking of this, Qin Bei sighed with relief, and his resistance to Zhouzhou decreased.

“Shake hands,” Qin Ren said.

When he became serious, his younger brothers were somewhat afraid of him, and Qin Bei was no exception. He swallowed nervously and slowly extended his hand. However, before his hand could touch hers, he suddenly saw a head popping out of her bag. His eyes widened, and a second later, he cried out, “Wow!” and ran out of the door, pulling it open.

A cry that shook heaven and earth resounded, “Mom, help!!!”
