Chapter 54
Qiao Chuchu's gaze swept past Li Jiahao: "Do you know you almost pushed Sister Yucan into the street just now? If it weren't for my quick reflexes, Sister Yucan would have been hit by a car and killed!"
Xia Xuechun laughed out loud, shielding Li Jiahao behind her: "I knew it, you're trying to extort again. How much do you want this time, a million?"
Qiao Chuchu: "? What does it have to do with you if I'm talking to Li Jiahao? I'm just stating facts. If anyone's asking for money, it's not me!"
Xia Xuechun pushed her: "Then Jiahao Ge and that auntie's business is none of your concern either!"
Yu Can's eyes widened like copper bells!
Auntie?
This girl called her auntie?!
She was furious, but Qiao Chuchu was even more outraged: "Xia Xuechun, open your dog eyes and look carefully! Sister Yucan is as beautiful as a succubus, and you call such a beautiful woman 'auntie'? Are you polite?!"
Yu Can: "Wow."
Was she a succubus?
What a high compliment!
Xia Xuechun shrugged it off: "Jiahao Ge said she's forty-two years old, and I'm twenty-four. Isn't it appropriate for me to call her auntie? I'm being polite. It seems that whatever we poor people say is wrong, right?"
Qiao Chuchu sneered: "Don't insult the poor. You're just emotionally stunted, like your EQ was buried with your ancestors."
Xia Xuechun's face darkened, and she grabbed a handful of snow from the roadside, throwing it in Qiao Chuchu's face: "Watch your mouth!"
Qiao Chuchu: "..."
Playing dirty, huh?
Fine.
She ordered: "Pei Youchuan, smear your socks on her face!"
Pei Youchuan rolled up his sleeves: "You got it!"
Just as Pei Youchuan charged forward, a silver-haired boy suddenly emerged from the shadows, carrying two buckets—one pink and one blue—filled with snow. He leaped up and delivered a perfect slam dunk!
Xia Xuechun and Li Jiahao were instantly covered in buckets, screaming in terror: "Ah!!!"
Pei Youchuan paused mid-step, surprisedly looking towards the silver-haired boy.
The silver-haired boy was tall and slender, glowing white in the winter snow. His silver hair slightly obscured his angry eyes as he turned to Qiao Chuchu and gestured: "Are you okay?"
Qiao Chuchu was stunned.
Why was it him?
Xia Xuechun, who had angrily removed the bucket, was also stunned.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
What a beautiful boy!
Pei Youchuan: "???? Who are you?"
Lin Shen: "..."
Sitting in a wheelchair and observing the scene, Weisheng Yucan calmly smiled: "This is my younger brother, Weisheng Huailing. He was born deaf and cannot hear you."
She smiled with a sense of victory: "He came to help Qiao Chuchu because she helped me."
The Pei family: "..."
Lin Qing sighed, feeling troubled: "Another handsome guy shows up, how am I supposed to choose my ship now?"
Pei Buxian glared at her: "Lin Qing, do you think Qiao Chuchu is some hot commodity that everyone falls for? Weisheng Huailing is just here to repay a favor."
Weisheng Huailing lowered his head, almost kissing Qiao Chuchu's face as he carefully inspected her: "Let me see if you're hurt."
His gaze was as focused and earnest as a loyal dog's, but his hands were boldly cupping her face.
Qiao Chuchu was caught off guard, her face instantly reddening.
Pei Buxian: "?"
Lin Qing laughed: "Ha! What a straightforward way to repay a favor, not involving any romantic feelings at all. As pure as the snow."
The brothers turned green with jealousy. Pei Youchuan was the first to react, pulling Qiao Chuchu back and warning Huailing: "Don't get handsy!"
Huailing tilted his head, looking like a confused little beast, and signed: "I'm sorry, I can't hear."
He turned to Qiao Chuchu for help: "Is your brother angry with me?"
Qiao Chuchu shook her head and signed back: "No, my brother isn't angry!"
Huailing looked sad: "But he looks scary at me. I'm a little scared."
Qiao Chuchu felt guilty and said to Pei Youchuan: "He came to help me out of kindness. You're scaring him. Be nicer, okay?"
Pei Youchuan was annoyed: "How well does this guy even know you? He just met you and already got handsy. That's disrespectful, you know? He's clearly got some issues."
Qiao Chuchu rolled her eyes: "What issues? Every time there's a guy around me, you all say he's got issues. Now Weisheng Huailing is Sister Yucan's brother, he's deaf and mute, and he just came to help me. Can't you be nicer, at least smile?"
Pei Youchuan: "..."
Huailing was still pitifully staring at him.
Gritting his teeth, Pei Youchuan forced a smile and shook Huailing's hand: "Thank you for saving my sister."
Huailing enthusiastically shook back.
Pei Youchuan smiled, mouthing the words: "Stay away from my sister."
Deaf people should be able to read lips, right?
Huailing paused, then smiled.
His lips curled into a classic villainous grin from the movies, then he quickly reverted to an innocent expression, blinking innocently.
Pei Youchuan's eye twitched.
This guy was taunting him!
He was right; the guy was deliberately acting cute and pitiful.
His grip involuntarily tightened.
Huailing winced in pain.
Qiao Chuchu quickly intervened: "Brother! You're hurting him!"
Pei Youchuan snapped back to reality and let go.
Huailing pitifully cradled his reddened hand, guarding it like a kicked puppy, taking small steps toward Qiao Chuchu.
A gust of cold wind blew, lifting his silver hair, and his teary eyes drooped, exuding a sense of fragility.
Pei Youchuan's eyes almost popped out!
Small steps!
Such a tall guy taking small steps!
He was so furious he nearly exploded, yanking Qiao Chuchu behind him and glaring at Weisheng Huailing.
Come on.
Try the small steps again.
I'll kick you so hard you'll get embedded in the wall.
Weisheng Huailing's eyes flickered with a hint of darkness as he stared at Pei Youchuan without speaking.
Suddenly, a group of black-suited men emerged from the shadows and dragged Li Jiahao away!
Xia Xuechun was shocked: "Ah! What are you doing?!"
Li Jiahao struggled for a moment before being forcefully shoved into a luxurious business car: "What are you—mmph!"
The car slammed shut and drove off without looking back.
Xia Xuechun was in shock: "What's going on?!"
She anxiously glanced at Huailing, wanting to ask for help, but knowing they wouldn't assist her, she quickly scanned the QR code to rent an electric bike, crying as she chased after the car: "Jiahao Ge! Let go of Jiahao Ge!!!"
Xia Xuechun's cries for Jiahao Ge gradually faded into the distance, disappearing from their sight.
Qiao Chuchu: "What's going on?"
Why were they suddenly taking someone away?
She looked at everyone in confusion: "Shouldn't we call the police?"
Pei Youchuan was indifferent: "Xia Xuechun must have already called the police. We don't need to do anything; she's crying and chasing after them."
Pei Buxian: "Let's just wish her luck."
Qiao Chuchu: "..."
Weisheng Yucan smiled: "Let's get back to business."
Everyone's attention was drawn back.
Yu Can leaned back in her wheelchair, smiling warmly: "Thank you, Qiao Chuchu, for saving my life. I think if it weren't for you, I would have definitely been hit by a car. Whether I would have died or not, getting injured was certain. Thanks to you, I was saved."
