Chapter 278: Fu Qingxuan Had Gone Mad

Without a word, Guan Yue stared at the girl with confidence written all over her face.

Truth be told, she did not come up with the idea. Guan Yue sought Ms. Jiang Yin for help and the latter shared a tip, saying that the girl may be stubborn but was a softie inside. Getting sympathy votes was a great course of action, but even better if she pestered Shen Xi relentlessly.

Moreover, Guan Yue did not have to stage anything to get a sympathy vote. Ms. Shu’s injury was real, impeding her from getting on stage.

Guan Yue herself failed to live up to expectations.

Out of ideas, her only choice was to seek Shen Xi’s help.

Shu Baiyu was happy to learn about the news but gave Guan Yue a sulky look. “Don’t you discuss anything with me anymore? You sure took the liberty to act on your own.”

Guan Yue replied with a smile, “Teacher, aren’t you happy? I got you your student of choice.”

“Jiang Yin helped you.” Shu Baiyu did not have to ask her to know that fact.

“Teacher, you’re indeed best friends with Ms. Jiang Yin.” Guan Yue clicked her tongue in wonder and smiled broadly. “Ms. Jiang Yin said it herself. Once Shen Xi performs your dance, she’s basically your student and everyone would know. She wouldn’t be able to deny it then. It’s a done deal Shen Xi can’t escape from.”

Shu Baiyu sighed helplessly and enjoined her, “Oh, you. Don’t look for Jiang Yin over everything and learn her bad habits.”

Jiang Yin had a tough exterior and a tender heart just like her student. She yammered on and on against stealing her student, and yet Jiang Yin was the one who sent her student to Shu Baiyu.

Shen Xi, who was carefully sewing, suddenly sneezed. She rubbed her nose and knew that someone was talking behind her back.

She did not put much thought into it. Shen Xi only wanted to help as she could not stand to see Shu Baiyu insisting on getting on stage with an injury, nor did she want Guan Yue to be upset and sad. It never crossed her mind that her own teacher set a trap to hand-deliver her right up to Shu Baiyu’s door.

After their conversation, Shu Baiyu and Guan Yue went to look for Shen Xi and held her hand in gratitude. “Xixi, I really don’t know how to thank you. Do tell me if you need any help in the future.”

Shen Xi intended to finish up on the embroidery before looking for her, but Shu Baiyu beat her to it. “Ms. Shu, no need to be polite. With my mom on her way to be Grandpa Huo’s student, we will be a family.”

“Yes, a family.” Shu Baiyu’s smiling eyes were filled with love and admiration.

She was really warming up to the kid.

Listening in on Shu Baiyu’s plans, Huo Yuping turned to Shen Xi, “You can dance too?”

Shu Baiyu answered, “Uncle, don’t be surprised by how much she knows.”

Huo Yuping retorted, “You’d have seen everything once you reach my age. Surprise me? Heh. Well, hurry to your dance practice if you need to. Don’t waste your time here.”

Shu Baiyu pulled Shen Xi away with a grin plastered on her face. “Uncle, don’t mind if I do. I’m leaving with your student’s daughter.”

“Go on.” Huo Yuping shooed her away. As they were leaving, a thought struck him and he called out to Shen Xi, “Girl, can you help me add your mom’s WeChat contact? The thing you youngsters play with.”

Shen Xi bolted over to add the WeChat contact for him while teaching him to use the app.

Putting on his reading glasses, Huo Yuping fiddled around before getting the hang of it. He grabbed the phone to send a message before glancing at them. “Why are you still here?”

“Uncle, are you turning your back on us?” Shu Baiyu poked fun.

“I thought you wanted Xixi to dance for you?” Huo Yuping shot her another glance and replied in disdain, “Hurry up and leave. Quit holding me up from chatting here.”

D*mn brat. Dance was more important than him, her dear uncle, to the point that she would risk her life. Had Yueyue not informed him, Huo Yuping had no idea her old injury was acting up. Yet, Shu Baiyu insisted on performing.

She just did not know when to stop.

“People do change once they find a good student.” Shaking her head, Shu Baiyu lamented.

“Yes, that’s right.” Huo Yuping proudly lifted his chin. “I have a student. Do you think I won’t be able to get another student apart from you?”

Indeed, he had a student.

Hmph!

Huo Yuping did not give a sh*t about anyone else now!

They could all take a hike for all he cared.

“Well, take your time sharing your wisdom with Yun Jinping on video. I’m taking Xixi with me.” Shu Baiyu pulled Shen Xi to her to leave.

Watching their receding figures, Huo Yuping smiled with glee and felt at ease.

He was worried Shu Baiyu would be so stubborn as to insist that the show must go on!

Xixi came just in time. She was the Huo family’s lucky star. Not only did she find him a great student, but Xixi also got Yu’er out of a mess.

Su Yi had been waiting at the Huo residence’s gate for Shen Xi. As a father, he had to put her in her place about hopping between men. Even if Shen Xi wanted a man in her life, she should look for a man like Mr. Fu, not some Tom, Dick, or Harry.

However, despite waiting until dark, Shen Xi was nowhere in sight. He stopped the butler who was on his way out. “Butler, is my daughter, Xixi, still in there?”

The butler was taken aback by Su Yi’s patience to wait so long just like his son. He replied politely, “Ms. Shen left through the back door together with Ms. Shu.”

Ms. Shen instructed him to dictate as such to dismiss Mr. Su.

Su Yi kept a straight face but inside, he was boiling. The d*mn brat went to such lengths just to avoid him. “Thank you, Butler. May I ask? Do you know the man who came to pick her up yesterday?”

The young man accompanying Shen Xi yesterday came to mind but the butler shook his head and said, “I don’t.”

Judging by the regality from the young man, he was definitely not a child of an ordinary family.

Su Yi sighed in disappointment. “Thank you. What time does she come over? The kid had a falling out with the family and is avoiding me now, but blood is thicker than water, don’t you think so?”

“I’m not sure about that.” The butler tactfully dodged his question.

Su Yi showed his appreciation and watched the butler walk off before lifting his chin to fixate his gaze on the gate to the Huo residence. The obscurity in his eyes was unfathomable.

This place would be his sooner or later.

The old fool refused to let him know even though he knew. Well, Huo Yuping would soon find himself put in the spot the moment Su Yi took over the Huo family’s assets and their precious Kesi.

A short distance away.

Leisurely leaning against a big tree, Fu Qingxuan smirked coldly.

Qingye was right. Meanie’s family were all bad news.

Li Jingran’s husband was a devious and cunning scumbag. Just look at him.

With the tree bark completely shielding Fu Qingxuan, Su Yi did not notice there was someone around. He clicked his tongue in rage before driving away.

Since Su Yi had left, Fu Qingxuan took off as well. Meanie must have slipped through the backdoor, away from that scumbag of a father. Out of sight, out of mind.

He had no clue what had gotten into him. Fu Qingxuan was too distracted to read his book the whole afternoon as the mean girl was all over his mind. He was worried that she might not be able to find her way home and that it was unsafe for her to return late.

He resorted to driving around but somehow wound up in front of the Huo residence.

Fu Qingxuan returned home with the intention to give the mean girl a telling off. She sure had the audacity to sneak out from the back door. However, he could not find her anywhere despite turning the house upside down.

Shen Xi was missing.

Fu Qingxuan had gone mad.
