Stolen Life of the Poor Girl, Top Luxury Family's Group Favor
Chapter 19: The "Distant Relative" of Little Duck Li
Chapter 19
Qin Sui was a person who planned his actions meticulously.
No matter how tedious or boring a task might be, as long as it was beneficial to his current situation, he wouldn't hesitate to do it.
So after arriving at the school, he immediately engaged in the activities that Sheng Yuxiao had once disdained, such as volunteering, and even guest-teaching a class.
Qin Sui was a model student, and he excelled at making others follow his ideas.
He was well-suited to being a teacher.
Of course, in his mother's mind, he was more likely to grow up to become the leader of some illegal organization.

But at this moment, he had indeed become a teacher.
The principal, having been briefed by the production team, knew of Qin Sui's background. He sighed, thinking another troublemaker had arrived, but cooperated actively nonetheless.
"Are you a new teacher?" Other teachers, unaware of Qin Sui's identity, curiously sized him up.
Qin Sui nodded slightly.
"You're so young, just graduated from college? Even college graduates aren't this young. Why did you come here to teach? Experiencing life?" The other teachers couldn't help but ask questions one after another.
Qin Sui possessed a height that surpassed his peers. He wore clothes that were visibly expensive, though they still had some mud stains that hadn't been completely washed off.
Moreover, he was exceptionally good-looking. Unlike Sheng Yuxiao's arrogant and fierce demeanor, Qin Sui's features were handsome yet reserved, often giving people a false impression of approachability at first glance.
Some female teachers even unconsciously blushed.
But Qin Sui didn't answer their questions. He said, "The person I'm waiting for is here. I should go."
At that moment, the bell rang, signaling the end of class.
Li Xiaoya walked out carrying her small, worn-out bag. She hadn't taken more than a few steps when she bumped into Qin Sui.
Qin Sui grabbed her by the collar, stopping her in her tracks.
Without a doubt, Li Xiaoya was the person Qin Sui had come to pick up!
Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, even Li Xiaoya's classmates were shocked.
After all, children speak without much reservation. Her classmates were the first to chatter excitedly: "Li Xiaoya, who is he?"
"Is he your brother too?"
Among the crowd, only Wang Xiaozhi fearfully shrank back.
How did Li Xiaoya get another brother? Would this brother hit people too?
Wang Xiaozhi didn't dare to look any longer and quickly ran home. He wanted to avoid being grabbed by the collar again, which would only lead to scolding from his parents and grandparents when he got home.
The audience in the comments was amused.
[What a coward]
[Why isn't Qin Sui saying anything? Is he waiting for Li Xiaoya to introduce him?]
Li Xiaoya spoke up at this point, carefully correcting them: "He's not my brother."
Qin Sui's eyebrow twitched slightly, showing a hint of disappointment.
"Then who is he?" Her classmates' eyes sparkled with curiosity.
Li Xiaoya looked a bit troubled, finally managing to squeeze out: "...A city person. He's a city person."
The teachers nearby found this amusing. Anyone could tell that Qin Sui was out of place here; who wouldn't know he was from the city?
Qin Sui suddenly bent down, picked up Li Xiaoya, and then lied with a straight face: "I'm her distant relative."
The classmates collectively exclaimed: "Wow!"
"Li Xiaoya actually has a distant relative!"
The teachers exchanged glances, also confused, and carefully asked: "Is he a relative from Li Xiaoya's mother's side?"
Qin Sui: "Mm-hmm."
Li Xiaoya opened her mouth, wanting to say he was lying, but Qin Sui had already covered her mouth and started walking out, carrying her.
The audience was dumbfounded.
[What is Qin Sui thinking? Why lie?]
[It must be intentional. Since he's being treated so differently from Sheng Yuxiao, he's trying a different approach]
[Uh, does this count as Qin Sui trying to win Li Xiaoya over?]
The comments fell silent.
Once outside the school gates, Qin Sui asked: "Does Sheng Yuxiao pick you up from school?"
Li Xiaoya remained silent.
"Does he carry you?"
Li Xiaoya still said nothing.
Comments: [?]
[Are they competing now?]
[Are you two going to compete to the death or what?]
Qin Sui said: "I have a younger sister at home." He paused before adding, "I'm a better big brother than Sheng Yuxiao."
Li Xiaoya remained unmoved.
She thought to herself, what does that have to do with me?
[Qin Sui's charm isn't working]
[Li Xiaoya didn't even leave him an egg. This treatment is really far worse than Sheng Yuxiao's]
[Can the great young master Sheng see this program? I'm so looking forward to seeing what expression he'd have]
The audience, purely enjoying the drama, immediately switched to Sheng Yuxiao's side to watch.
At this moment, Sheng Yuxiao had just finished checking the items he had bought.
"This won't do, she won't like it."
"This doesn't look good, get a better-looking one."
...
After pointing out various issues, the young master Sheng suddenly remembered something and asked the production team: "Did Li Xiaoya go mushroom picking by herself?"
The staff replied: "They've already finished picking."
"She didn't even wait for me." Sheng Yuxiao said this, but there wasn't a hint of anger on his face.
However, he quickly thought of another question: "She hasn't sold them yet, right?"
The staff said: "Not yet."
Satisfied, Sheng Yuxiao picked up his phone and started typing a message.
Sheng Jun came over to check on him and, noticing his actions, asked: "What are you doing?"
"Sending a text to Qin Sui."
This statement stunned not only the people in the hospital room but also the audience.
"You're texting Qin Sui?" Sheng Jun's tone was full of disbelief.
Sheng Yuxiao sneered: "Yeah, that idiot better not spoil Li Xiaoya. I need to tell him that he should accompany Li Xiaoya when she picks mushrooms and keep an eye on her when she sells them."
Sheng Jun was silent for a moment before saying: "He probably won't listen to you."
Sheng Yuxiao raised his sharp eyebrow: "He definitely will."
This response alarmed Li Qingqing, who was standing behind Sheng Jun.
Weren't Sheng Yuxiao and Qin Sui rivals?
How could he encourage Qin Sui to be nice to Li Xiaoya?
Sheng Jun saw through his son's intentions and asked: "Reverse psychology?"
Sheng Yuxiao, still typing, spared a moment to reply: "No need for reverse psychology. Qin Sui has been first in his class every year. Winning and losing are very important to him. He'd rather die than lose to me."
Sheng Jun stared at him with a smile, making no move to stop his son's actions.
After all, the heir to the Sheng Corporation should be someone skilled at understanding people's hearts. His current performance was very good, very good indeed!
Meanwhile, Qin Sui and Li Xiaoya had walked for nearly four hours, and it was dark by the time they got home.
But Qin Sui never showed weakness, so he didn't let any sign of fatigue show.
"Will I be able to eat dinner tonight?" Qin Sui asked Li Xiaoya.
Li Xiaoya hesitated, "How about sweet potatoes?"
Qin Sui: "Sure."
Li Xiaoya tossed the sweet potatoes into the stove, and they were roasted in no time. She used a wooden stick to take them out, peeling off the skin to reveal the slowly oozing syrup inside.
Qin Sui took a bite: "...Not bad."
In truth, it was quite delicious.
But Qin Sui's upbringing didn't allow him to say that.
Regardless of whether something was good or bad, he usually only described things as "okay" or "average." This was part of the so-called "elite education," where one doesn't easily reveal their preferences or thoughts.
Li Xiaoya also shared some sweet potatoes with the grumpy Grandpa Li, who hadn't eaten a proper meal for days since Sheng Yuxiao left.
Turning back, she munched on her sweet potato while rummaging through her cloth bag. She tightly held something small in her left palm, then carefully placed it into a rusted tin box.
"What's that?" Qin Sui's voice suddenly sounded behind her, startling Li Xiaoya.
Li Xiaoya mumbled, "It's none of your business."
"Is it food?"
Li Xiaoya ignored him.
Qin Sui persisted, "Don't put food in that tin box. It's already rusted inside."
Li Xiaoya paused for a moment, then quickly took the item back out.
"Why not eat it now if it's food?" Qin Sui paused, then guessed, "Is it for Sheng Yuxiao?"
Li Xiaoya reluctantly nodded.
Qin Sui stood there, suddenly silent.
[Haha, another critical hit, right?]
[Young Master Sheng prepared a gift for Li Xiaoya, and it turns out Li Xiaoya was secretly preparing a gift for Young Master Sheng too. The affection between children is so pure and beautiful!]
"Young Master Qin," the director's voice hesitantly spoke up, "Your phone... a text message."
The director didn't know what had happened at the hospital; he only knew the text was from Sheng Yuxiao.
It wouldn't be insulting, would it?
If this escalated the conflict, he wouldn't be made the scapegoat, right?
The director's heart was full of worry. But the sponsorship money was indeed very satisfying.
Qin Sui took the phone and glanced down.
"Ask Li Xiaoya if she misses me."
Qin Sui: "..."
Was this deliberately showing off that he and Li Xiaoya were the closest?
How childish.
The phone vibrated again as another new message arrived.
