Chapter 74: Are They Crazy
Chapter 74
In the corner of the small hall, the boy had already been helped to a seat.
Lu Kaixuan urgently called for a family doctor to come and treat him.
When Wei Lin entered the small hall, he didn't rush to check on Li Xiaoya first. He quietly asked a waiter nearby, "Which family does this young master belong to?"
The waiter gave him a surprised look but still answered, "The young master of Mu Rongfeng's Wanwu Interconnect."
Wei Lin cursed internally.
It really was that Mu family.
The Mu family that had ventured into multiple popular internet industries including social networking, gaming, and e-commerce, and had pretty much reached the top in all of them.
When he was abroad, he had heard that Wanwu Interconnect had already grown into a capital monster.
Though they couldn't compare to other old established families in terms of heritage, when it came to wealth, they were certainly among the top globally.
Wei Lin immediately made a decision—to go check on Young Master Mu's injuries first.
This would determine his attitude later.
Whether to protect... or to throw Li Xiaoya under the bus, let her suffer a bit and learn a lesson.
Wei Lin immediately set off towards Young Master Mu.
However, there were too many people gathered around, and he couldn't squeeze through easily.
With no other choice, he took a moment to glance back at Li Xiaoya.
... Li Xiaoya was actually making a phone call?
Who could she possibly call at a time like this that would be of any use?
Sheng Yuxiao? Sheng Yuxiao wasn't even here.
Wei Lin shook his head inwardly, sneering to himself, then turned back, saying, "Excuse me, please make way. I'm Li Xiaoya's temporary guardian. Did she get into a fight with Young Master Mu?"
Upon hearing this, the others were stunned for a moment, then quickly made way for him.
Wei Lin squeezed through to the front and first greeted Lu Kaixuan, "Mr. Lu."
Lu Kaixuan had met Wei Lin before, after all, Wei Lin had been handling the Wei Family's affairs externally during this period.
"Oh, it's you. You're here, Mr. Wei. This matter..." Lu Kaixuan pressed his forehead, "I've already notified the Mu family by phone."
Wei Lin felt relieved internally: "Mr. Mu didn't come today?"
Lu Kaixuan shook his head: "He's very busy."
Wei Lin nodded and said, "I will definitely give Mr. Mu an explanation for today's incident."
Then he bent down slightly, asking with concern like a kind elder, "Is Young Master Mu seriously injured?"
The boy, however, irritably pushed him away: "I've already said, I'm fine! I'm fine! Are you all deaf? Can't you understand what I'm saying?"
Wei Lin had imagined many possible reactions.
But he never expected this one—
He actually said he was fine?
Meanwhile, Li Xiaoya had finished dialing twice.
As expected, there was no answer on the other end.
So she obediently followed Qin Sui's instructions and sent a text message.
Almost as soon as the message was sent, her phone rang.
Sheng Yuxiao had called back.
"Hello." Li Xiaoya answered immediately.
The overwhelming anger on the other end instantly dissipated into silence.
"What's going on? How come you're with Qin Sui? Did Qin Sui bully you, so you stole his phone to call me?" Sheng Yuxiao's voice came rapid-fire like a machine gun.
"No," Li Xiaoya had barely uttered two words.
Sheng Yuxiao said sourly, "Oh, don't tell me you're playing together? Has your family already befriended the Qin family?"
"I got into a fight with someone," Li Xiaoya had to cut to the chase.
"Who? Who dares to hit you?" Sheng Yuxiao's tone sank, "Is Qin Sui dead? Just watching someone hit you?"
"I hit someone else."
"......"
"Oh, well... good job then." Sheng Yuxiao was the epitome of double standards.
After saying that, he quickly reacted: "Who's the other party? Hm? Qin Sui couldn't handle it alone?"
"They said their surname is Mu."
Sheng Yuxiao immediately made the connection in his mind: "I see, you hit Mu Rongfeng's little brat, right? That kid is quite annoying. I can't fly over right now... hmm, wait a moment, let me make a call."
"Soon," Sheng Yuxiao's voice softened a bit.
"Mm," Li Xiaoya wanted to say "thank you," but felt the words were too plain.
She wanted to call Sheng Yuxiao "brother," but having just called Qin Sui that, she felt the word was also too plain.
She knew that being sweet-tongued would make things better. So when she purely needed to please someone, she would call them that. Just like when she first met Sheng Yuxiao, she called him brother without any burden.
Later, as Sheng Yuxiao became closer to her, she instead became more cautious and careful, no longer calling him that easily.
So after thinking for a while, Li Xiaoya only managed to say dryly in a small voice: "Sheng Yuxiao, I miss you a bit."
Qin Sui pursed his lips beside her.
Alright.
Sheng Yuxiao should be all fired up now, probably wishing he could fly over personally...
Sure enough! On the other end, Sheng Yuxiao said nothing and quickly hung up the phone.
It had been less than three minutes altogether.
Another person entered the small hall.
He wasn't very old either, and wasn't wearing formal attire, just came in a baseball jersey.
He was very tall, with skin tanned a bit dark, thick eyebrows and deep-set eyes, looking like he might have some ethnic minority blood.
He held a phone in one hand, talking on it while his eyes scanned the room.
Finally, he locked onto Li Xiaoya, and only then put away his phone.
When he got closer, he realized Qin Sui was also there, and his expression immediately turned sour as if he had eaten wasabi...
"Why are you here too?" he asked.
Qin Sui called out his name: "Wei Zesheng, I can't believe Sheng Yuxiao called you."
"Well, looks like Sheng knows you're here," Wei Zesheng said glumly.
Also surnamed Wei?
Wei Wenjuan couldn't help but turn his head to look at this young man.
This Wei was different from Wei Wenjuan and his family.
This Wei was famous domestically, and was precisely the "Wei family that runs hospitals" mentioned by the doorman earlier when they were blocked at the entrance.
Wei Zesheng said: "Sheng told me to come protect her, um... where's the troublemaker?"
The door of the small hall was pushed open hurriedly from outside once again.
Qin Sui said: "Here he comes."
This time, the person who entered was dressed in a suit and tie, wearing glasses, looking like a secretary.
The man, with a grim face, walked straight to Lu Kaixuan: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Mu sent me to handle today's incident... I hope to send the young master to the hospital first."
This person seemed very efficient and able to control the situation.
Young Master Mu's face changed, and he shouted: "I'm not going!"
The secretary said: "Alright, perhaps you'd like to see the incident resolved first... May I ask what background this Li Xiaoya has?"
Wei Lin's eyelid twitched, and he had to speak up: "I am her temporary guardian."
Lu Kaixuan also quickly introduced: "This is Mr. Wei Lin, the adopted son of the returned overseas Chinese, Old Mr. Wei."
The secretary nodded and immediately raised his voice to ask: "Then where is Li Xiaoya?"
Li Xiaoya raised her hand.
Wei Lin: "..." Was she a newborn calf unafraid of tigers? Had she never seen someone rushing to make trouble before?
The secretary immediately strode over to Li Xiaoya, then looked at Wei Lin: "Then please, Mr. Wei Lin, give us a proper and careful explanation."
Wei Lin followed and began to speak: "Fighting is certainly wrong..."
Before he could finish his sentence,
Wei Zesheng forcefully interrupted: "You're Mr. Mu's secretary? Do you know who I am?"
The secretary hesitated as he looked him over: "You are..."
"Wei Zesheng."
"I'm Qin Sui," Qin Sui joined in.
"This matter, we'll give an explanation to the Mu family together. We also hope the Mu family can give an explanation. After all, Young Master Mu is three years older than Xiaoya, so for him to start a fight, it's really not acceptable, don't you think?" Qin Sui calmly asked in return.
At this point, the entire small hall fell silent.
The secretary's assertiveness immediately vanished.
Even Lu Kaixuan was stunned.
Wei Zesheng belonged to the Sheng family faction and was at odds with the Qin family.
Damn it! To see them join forces in his lifetime!
This was as outrageous as if the Earth had suddenly stopped rotating, the sun had risen from the west, and water on the ground had started flying up to the sky!
What did this mean?
The fact that the Mu family could make them join forces against it... meant that the situation was serious! Definitely not something he, a mere secretary, could handle!
He needed to call for backup!
Wei Lin stood on the side, opening and closing his mouth in confusion, completely unable to get a word in.
What? Had they gone mad? They were getting involved just like that? Li Xiaoya had absolutely nothing to do with them!
