BXBX NOVEL Chapter 173: I like him!
Duan Tian has been taking care of his sister for as long as they could remember.
But when she was 8 years old, Duan Tian went out to work as normal, but never returned.
Since then, she has been living a pitiful life. It was only to their neighbor Jiang Lian’s kindness that she barely survived.
She had thought that she would have to live the rest of her life alone like this.
But unexpectedly, two years later, she received a letter from her brother.
Jiang Lian didn’t have any of her own children, so she treated Duan Xiaoyu very generously, as if she was her own daughter.
Through Jiang Lian’s assistance, she learned that her brother was still alive.
After getting in contact with each other, they started to write letters.
Later, communication systems advanced, and they gradually began to call each other.
From time to time, Duan Tian would also send some money back, allowing Duan Xiaoyu to have the money to attend high school.
Since she never had a parent to teach her anything, and her brother was quite a fighter, she has gradually walked sway on life’s path.
When she first met Ye Xuan, she despised him.
She didn’t even know who he was, so why was he bossing her around?
But after seeing him beat up some delinquents, she changed her mind about him.
Ye Xuan only stayed here for a few days before leaving for Qiuming City, so they weren’t too familiar with each other.
Right now, although she wasn’t fully trusting Qin Tian, she was half trusting him already.
An ordinary person wouldn’t be able to know both her brother\'s and Ye Xuan’s name.
After packing up, Duan Xiaoyu picked up her backpack, said farewell to Jiang Lian, then ran to the yard.
“Hey sis, what’s your name?”
“Chen Mengmeng.”
“Is this motorcycle yours?”
“Of course!”
“Wow, cool…”
Duan Xiaoyu looked at Chen Mengmeng’s motorcycle in awe while uncontrollably feeling the sides of it.
“Wanna try it out?” Chen Mengmeng smiled with a face of pride.
“Can I?” Duan Xiaoyu didn’t hesitate at all.
Being a rather rebellious child since young, how could she control her excitement after seeing such a cool motorcycle?
“Let’s go, I’ll bring you around.” Chen Mengmeng said proudly.
“Yay, thanks lots!”
“Uncle Qin, I’ll take her with me first alright?”
Chen Mengmeng took out the backup helmet and threw it to Duan Xiaoyu.
“Mm, go ahead.”
Qin Tian waved his hand speechlessly.
It seemed like bringing Chen Mengmeng here was the right choice.
Without her, it might prove to be quite a problem to make Duan Xiaoyu willingly go with them.
Vrooom!
With the loud sound coming from the engine, the motorcycle dashed away.
Qin Tian smiled, and ordered Lao Li to follow.
…
This entire operation of taking Duan Xiaoyu did not require Qin Tian’s presence.
The reason he decided to come here was that he wanted to relax for a bit and take a stroll around.
The other reason, was that this child was very useful to him.
He needed to come here and make an impression on her.
Duan Xiaoyu gave off more of a teenager vibe than even Chen Mengmeng.
If it wasn’t because schools didn’t allow tattoos, she probably would have long made several obvious tattoos on her.
In other words, she was a seriously problematic child.
Just by looking at them, Qin Tian could tell that the people Chen Mengmeng hangs out with must be much higher in status than the people Duan Xiaoyu hangs out with.
Chen Mengmeng’s family was very rich to begin with, allowing her to do whatever she wished.
But Duan Xiaoyu’s brother was afraid that she would spend irresponsibly, so the money he sent her was very little – just enough to survive.
Ye Xuan’s purpose in coming here in the first place was to guide her onto the right path, slowly turning her from a problematic teenager into a studious student.
But now… Ye Xuan is sitting in prison because of Qin Tian.
And Qin Tian didn’t have the habit of raising someone else’s child properly.
Hence, all he did was throw Jiang Lian 100k, and took Duan Xiaoyu away.
Wait, Ye Xuan asked the police to help look after Duan Xiaoyu?
Stop kidding.
The police were mainly responsible for resolving problems after they happened already, how could they spare forces to go become Duan Xiaoyu’s personal bodyguard?
Even the mercs never expected that the multibillionaire Qin Tian would target Duan Xiaoyu.
…
After leaving Duan Xiaoyu’s home, Qin Tian took everyone to a casual lunch.
Duan Xiaoyu, who was still slightly worried, let out a sigh of relief after seeing the definition of a “casual” lunch for Qin Tian was the level of a 5-star hotel.
“Such a rich person wouldn’t spend all this effort to harm me.” Duan Xiaoyu thought.
Qin Tian wasn’t caring what she was thinking. He wasn’t planning to sell her anyways.
After lunch, they walked around the mall, and then under Chen Mengmeng’s lead, they went to Baoping Town.
“Sister Meng, can I ask you a question?”
On the motorcycle, Duan Xiaoyu sat in the back and asked Chen Mengmeng while holding onto her waist.
After getting to know each other, they seemed to be getting around pretty well.
“Go ahead.”
The motorcycle wasn’t going very fast, so they could converse naturally.”
“Do you like that handsome uncle?” Duan Xiaoyu asked curiously.
Qin Tian was handsome without a doubt, but not those silly cute handsomeness, more like those mature ones.
She remembered that throughout lunch, Chen Mengmeng was constantly trying to talk to Qin Tian.
Even when they were at the mall, it was also Chen Mengmeng forcefully pulling Qin Tian to go.
“Is it that obvious?” Chen Mengmeng was just as curious.
“I don’t think it can get more obvious.” Duan Xiaoyu said helplessly. Unless I’m blind, she thought.
“Mm, true. You’re right, I do like him.”
Chen Mengmeng admitted openly, “He’s handsome, mature, and also talented in so many things. Every woman must like such a man, right?”
“I don’t.” Duan Xiaoyu said bluntly.
“Oh? Then what type do you like?”
“I like men who are not only handsome and rich, but also capable and strong like my brother, or else how can he protect me?”
Children are always so naive.
Just being “rich” already eliminated over 90% of the men in the world.
And handsome too?
She must be dreaming.
Chen Mengmeng giggled, “You’re right, but Uncle Qin’s really good at fighting too!”
“I can’t describe exactly how strong he is, but definitely better than that scaredy-cat Ye Xuan.”
She recalled the way Ye Xuan fled, and the way Qin Tian and Li Jun fiercely fought.
“No way. He’s stronger than Ye Xuan?”
“Why would I lie?”
The two girls sat on the motorcycle and discussed about Qin Tian on the Rolls Royce.
The more Chen Mengmeng expressed her awe towards Qin Tian, the more Duan Xiaoyu was curious.
It seemed that in Chen Mengmeng’s words, Qin Tian was a man who could literally do anything in the world.
Handsome, rich, could play instruments, and even know how to cure diseases!
And also strong at fighting too?
She found it hard to believe that there could be such well-rounded people in the world.
She sat in the back, listening to Chen Mengmeng brag about Qin Tian’s achievements.
…
As time passed, the group of five soon arrived at their destination.
It was 5 in the afternoon.
At Baoping Town, there were people selling all sorts of stuff like jade and antiques.
“Hey buddy, do you want one to test your luck?”
Right after they parked, a vendor came up to them and asked.
Qin Tian turned around to look, and the seller quickly handed a bowl-sized stone to Qin Tian’s hand.
“Take a look my friend, this rock’s surface is excellent, I guarantee you’ll make millions off this.”
Qin Tian wasn’t good at stone gambling, so after taking a close look at it, he decided to put it back.
But just as he was about to do so, a line of words appeared in front of his eyes.
[Emerald: 4923 grams. Worth about 300-800]
Qin Tian: “…”
Could this be Villain\'s Eye’s new ability??
