Chapter 18: Don’t Worry, You Have Me

Just as he spoke, the servant knocked on the door. “Sir, Old Master wants you to come downstairs.”

Although Ye Li did not hear Xue Sheng, she dared not ask again and they left in haste.

Downstairs, Xue Shengqiang was sitting on the sofa with a stern expression. There was a looming atmosphere in the room and the servants were treading on thin ice.

Xue Sheng tidied his collar button and asked solemnly, “Dad, what’s wrong?”

Old Master frowned. “Quickly think, what have we done wrong to offend the Gao family?”

Xue Sheng paused. “Why do you say that?”

Old Master replied, “Elder Gao’s secretary called earlier to inform us not to go for this weekend’s gathering.”

Xue Yao, who had left school, overheard their conversation and her eyes lit up instantly. “Grandpa, Big Uncle, I know; it’s definitely because of Xue Xi!”

The moment Xue Yao said that, Ye Li asked anxiously, “What’s wrong with Xixi?”

Xue Yao pouted. “Our class’ Qin Shuang offended Gao Yanchen and was stopped after school. Xue Xi wanted to show off and insisted on helping. Grandpa, Gao Yanchen is Elder Gao’s very life and our family needs to rely on the Gao family. Wasn’t she giving our family trouble by doing that?”

Elder Gao’s only son passed away in an accident, leaving behind his only grandchild, Gao Yanchen. Since Elder Gao always covered up his grandson’s mistakes, Gao Yanchen was able to be a tyrant in the international school.

Old Lady Xue hit the table instantaneously. “Ridiculous! I’ve long said before that a wild child like this shouldn’t be brought home. Only a few days have passed and she has already created such huge trouble!”

Ye Li wobbled as she covered her chest.

Gao Yanchen was a well-known devil incarnate and could fight really well. He once broke a girl’s rib.

My Xixi is skinny and weak. A single punch from Gao Yanchen could be enough to take half her life away… 

Just as they were feeling anxious, Xue Sheng stared straight at Xue Yao. “Where are they? How long ago did it happen?”

The girl replied, “In the alley beside the school. It should have been around an hour ago.”

Her uncle flew into a rage. “Why didn’t you call home when your sister is in trouble?”

The girl’s eyes flickered.

She wished Gao Yanchen could beat Xue Xi up worse, and the best case would be if she became paralyzed. Why would she still call for help?

Before Xue Yao could find an excuse, Old Lady Xue scolded, “Why should she call? A lass like Xue Xi who overestimated her true abilities should be taught a lesson!”

“Mom!” Xue Sheng interrupted her. There was no time to pursue the matter. The pressing issue of the moment was to ensure Xixi’s safety!

“Get the car ready!” Ye Li’s voice was trembling. Nothing could happen to her Xixi.

Just as she and Xue Sheng were heading out anxiously and the rest were waiting for them to be the butt of the joke, a skinny silhouette entered through the door suddenly.

Xue Xi walked all the way home while carrying her school bag. When she set foot in the house, she saw her parents heading out worriedly so she gave way to them obediently.
