Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Little Monster, aka Minimonster

Editor: Inschain

“Big Brother, we’ve done what you said, can you let us go now?”

The man on the other end of the phone spoke with a vicious tone, warning them, “Donate all that money to charity. If you dare to keep a penny, you know the consequences.”

The thugs wouldn’t dare!

If they had known that seemingly vulnerable girl had powerful backup, they would never have dared to harass her.

Anger towards Lu Ting simmered in their hearts, and they were certainly going to settle accounts with her later.

The man snorted disdainfully, ended the call, and sent a message to Qiao Yun.

As the car traveled along the overpass, Qiao Yun squinted at the scenery outside until the sound of a message notification made her look back at her phone.

[The lesson has been taught—they’ve fully realized their mistakes and decided to do more charity work in the future.]

Qiao Yun’s fingers swiftly replied [Oh.]

[Strive to be a good person and come back early.]

Qiao Yun: [?]

[…Sorry, strive to be good, come back early]

[…]

Qiao Yun pursed her lips, her delicate face serious.

Then, she added the other party to the blacklist.

The person who couldn’t send messages: ?

Pretty wronged.

Li Hanzhou, sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at Qiao Yun who had been quietly well-behaved since getting in the car.

She sat slackly, staring at her phone with no expression, her skin so fair it reflected light, causing Li Hanzhou to doubt for a moment—was Qiao Yun really from the countryside?

Thinking of the recent events, a slight smile played on his lips.

Looking at the seemingly quiet and docile child, who was actually quite fierce and bold, he couldn’t help but comment: little monster, or simply, little freak.

“Little freak, little obedient,”

Li Hanzhou muttered under his breath, the volume very low.

Pretty smooth, and quite fitting too.

“I heard MR.Q is back in Shangjing, and a lot of people are snooping around for his information. Should we also send a gift? Stay on trend.”

Shen Qi, who was driving, initiated the conversation to break the silence.

For some reason, ever since the young lady got in the car, he had this inexplicable feeling that even breathing might be a crime?

“Send a clock?” Li Hanzhou withdrew his gaze from Qiao Yun and responded lazily.

Qiao Yun blinked, and the corners of her mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.

Shen Qi choked for a moment, then reminded kindly, “If you dare send that, do you believe that the group of research nuts around him will tie you down and dismember you?”

Li Hanzhou’s voice was quite cold, “Putting on airs.”

“Alright, I know you’re tough. Who dares to touch you in Shangjing City, they’re asking for death,” Shen Qi added. “Do you have a grudge against him?”

Li Hanzhou spoke deliberately, “No grudge.”

It was just that when he was sixteen, his family wanted MR.Q to be his mentor, but MR.Q had refused with the reasoning that he had never seen someone so stupid at that age.

As a result, during that time, some family members occasionally used this to mock him.

Of course, after he grew up, those people had been crushed by him.

But the once-genius young Li had, from that point forward, regarded MR.Q as his sworn enemy.

Shen Qi thought of something and laughed weirdly, “It’s said that MR.Q isn’t a man, but a beautiful woman with good looks. Aren’t you interested?”

“Probably a granny with a face full of wrinkles.”

Li Hanzhou said nonchalantly, his gaze drifting to the back seat, meeting Qiao Yun’s dark and bright eyes, and a thought occurred to him.

Prettier than she is?

More pleasing to the eye than she is?

It’s just that little face, why so serious all of a sudden, as if she holds a deep grudge against him.

He must have seen it wrong, right?
