“Heh heh, Su Mengke, didn’t you say you didn’t do anything? Then what is this?”
Su Yao held the exquisite fountain pen and sneered at Su Mengke.
When Su Mengke saw it, her eyes reddened, “I… I don’t know, this isn’t mine!”
Su Yao snapped, “Nonsense, of course this can’t be yours, I’m asking how it got here!”
Su Mengke was speechless; how would she know how this thing got there?
She didn’t put it in her backpack.
Qin Xiao glanced at it, and his expression turned strange.
Isn’t this his item?
He remembered his Big Brother had specially commissioned it for him on his twentieth birthday.
It cost several million, just for this one pen, which the original owner treated like a treasure.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao finally understood what was going on, and combining the novel’s plot with the original owner’s memories, he realized Su Yao and Su Mengke were sisters.
However, Su Mengke was adopted, so she was always disliked.
But Qin Xiao knew that Su Mengke was one of the female leads.
He looked at Su Mengke’s somewhat pale face, her dry and yellowish hair covering half of her face.
She was wearing a thin, faded school uniform, looking malnourished, disheveled, and shabby.
However, despite her appearance, in the book, she was actually a super beauty, just lacking proper care.
And she was also an obedient, sensible, naive girl, who deliberately dressed in this unappealing way to prevent others from coveting her and doing anything, and to avoid being arranged by her parents to someone else.
It wasn’t until Xia Shiya took pity on her, and she happened to be bullied by Qin Xiao.
When the two were at their wits’ end, Xia Shiya invited the Dragon King, who then came to the school to show off.
And just like that, the original owner directly extorted 108,000 from the Dragon King with a magnificent high kick.
The storyline between Su Mengke and the Dragon King also unfolded, and from then on, she became a dedicated nanny and servant for the Dragon King and his women… After Qin Xiao understood, he knew what the plot was.
And now, this was the beginning of the original owner’s disgust for Su Mengke, after which he kept finding fault with her.
Sure enough, Su Yao asked Qin Xiao ingratiatingly, “Brother Qin, is this fountain pen yours?”
Qin Xiao nodded, “Yes, it’s mine. Be careful not to break it, it cost several million!”
Hearing Qin Xiao’s words, Su Yao’s heart trembled.
Although she knew Qin Xiao’s things weren’t cheap, she didn’t expect them to be so valuable.
She thought it was only a few thousand yuan, but it turned out to be several million?
Su Yao suddenly felt a little scared, because when they were messing around earlier, she accidentally bumped Qin Xiao’s desk, causing the jadeite fountain pen to fall to the ground and crack, so she put it in Su Mengke’s backpack.
If this were known, wouldn’t she be finished?
Thinking of this, Su Yao said to Su Mengke, “Su Mengke, did you hear that? You dared to steal something worth several million, and you even broke it!”
“I didn’t!”
Su Mengke kept shaking her head, indicating she didn’t do it.
After Qin Xiao was called to the office earlier, she also went to the restroom, and when she came back, she was organizing documents for Qin Xiao and hadn’t touched the item at all.
But now, nothing she said mattered; Su Yao and the other girls didn’t give her a chance to explain.
Qin Xiao silently watched the scene, not exposing Su Yao and their little trick.
“Su Mengke, tell me what you’re going to do!”
Qin Xiao looked at Su Mengke and said, “This was my brother’s twentieth birthday gift to me, and now you’ve broken it. What do you plan to do?”
Su Mengke was so anxious that tears almost flowed out.
If Qin Xiao hadn’t mentioned the price, it would have been fine; she might have thought about getting a part-time job to earn money and pay it back.
But several million, her family couldn’t afford it even if they sold everything, let alone whether her adoptive parents would help her?
Thinking of this, Su Mengke cried silently out of grievance.
Why were they all targeting her?
She clearly hadn’t done anything wrong and had always been obedient and sensible, yet why wouldn’t Su Yao and the others let her go?
Watching Su Yao and the others, who were speaking with certainty and looking at her with cold smiles, Su Mengke tried to hold back her tears, sobbing, “I… I will find a way to compensate you!”
“Compensate? Can you afford to compensate?”
Su Yao sneered.
She just couldn’t understand why, even though she was adopted, she was always more outstanding than herself since childhood.
Especially with her slovenly appearance, she could still be close to Qin Xiao, which made her very unhappy.
Seeing Su Mengke’s current aggrieved look, she finally felt satisfied.
It would be best if Qin Xiao got angry; that way, Su Mengke would never have an easy life, and she might even be sent away immediately.
Thinking of this, Su Yao felt triumphant.
And Su Mengke also seemed to have thought of this, but she didn’t say anything more.
Because she knew that no one would believe her words, and Qin Xiao wouldn’t care about the lives of people like them.
Seeing her like this, Qin Xiao couldn’t help but shake his head; it was normal for someone like Su Mengke to be bullied.
“Su Mengke, I won’t make things difficult for you. From now on, you’ll stay by my side and be my nanny to repay your debt until you’ve paid it all off!”
Hearing Qin Xiao’s words, Su Mengke nodded silently without refusing, completely without any thought of resistance.
But Su Yao was displeased, staring with wide eyes and saying, “Brother Qin, your fountain pen is so expensive, can she repay it by being your nanny? I think we should just call the police and have her arrested!”
Su Mengke’s shoulders trembled at the words, but she didn’t refute, looking as if she would endure any beating or scolding.
However, she felt even more despair inside.
Qin Xiao squinted, “Are you telling me how to do things?”
Seeing Qin Xiao’s displeasure, Su Yao’s expression stiffened for a moment, and she said awkwardly, “How could I? Brother Qin, you make the decisions!”
Qin Xiao couldn’t be bothered with her and told her to print a contract according to his requirements.
Su Yao didn’t dare to disobey and could only go to print the contract, filled with anger.
However, she didn’t completely follow Qin Xiao’s request, adding a thirty-year term to the contract.
“I’ll just see what you, Su Mengke, will do!”
After Qin Xiao received the contract, he glanced at it, showing no surprise.
Because in the early stages of the book, Su Yao was a green tea villainess, so she naturally wouldn’t miss out on her necessary scenes.
Su Mengke took it and also saw the terms on it, but she didn’t resist, silently signing her name.
Ding~
【Congratulations, Host, for slightly altering the plotline. Protagonist’s Destiny Value -100】
Qin Xiao smiled at this; Su Mengke was indeed easy to bully, he had already secured half of her.
After she stayed by his side, it would be impossible not to fully secure her.
Su Yao also sneered after seeing the two sign the contract, thinking she would have plenty of ways to continue dealing with Su Mengke later.
As the class bell rang, Su Yao returned to her seat.
Qin Xiao looked at Su Mengke and said, “Don’t be sad, I won’t bully you, and isn’t it good to stay by my side?”
Su Mengke nodded, not saying much.
