Chapter 30
The dad driving the car saw his daughter's happy expression through the rearview mirror, and the heart that had been hanging for the past two days finally settled down.
"Feifei, did the teacher come looking for you again about the hitting incident? Don't be afraid. If we didn't do it, we didn't do it—no matter what others say, we can't admit to something we haven't done."
When Xu Feifei heard this, she suddenly laughed: "Dad, don't worry. I would never wrong myself! Besides, this matter will have results very soon, and I'll clear my name!"
"Oh? And why is that?"
Xu Feifei said proudly: "It's the boy classmate who lent me his clothes today—he's super smart. I told him about this, and we investigated it together today. In a few days, when the teacher calls Dad over, you'll know."
Dad listened to his daughter's brief description, the corners of his mouth lifting in a smile.
But then Xu Feifei continued: "He's really amazing—no matter what kind of trouble, he can always come up with great solutions! And he's great at studies too, always first in every subject!"
These praises made Uncle Xu's smile slip a little.
Because although his daughter had many friends, this was the first time she had praised a boy so lavishly—gushing with admiration.
As a father, he couldn't help but feel a bit jealous.
Uncle Xu asked with great curiosity, a faint murderous aura in his tone: "What's this boy's name? To earn our Feifei's admiration?"
"He's called Liu Wenjie. We went to the same kindergarten before."
"Liu Wenjie?" Uncle Xu's jealousy suddenly lessened a bit, and his wife beside him realized: "Director Liu's son? I didn't expect our Feifei to end up playing with Director Liu's son."
Uncle Xu nodded: "Director Liu is a decent person. We should pay them a visit someday."
After driving through two intersections, he looked at the road ahead and suddenly asked his daughter: "Feifei, can I discuss something with you?"
"Mm, go ahead, Dad."
Uncle Xu's tone became noticeably more serious:
"You know our family hasn't been doing as well these past two years. Now Dad is facing a choice—either keep selling Universal Chargers to earn money or change careers. Recently, a small company called Huaxiaowei asked me to invest and become a shareholder. Dad doesn't know how to choose for the moment."
He said earnestly to his daughter: "Our family's business will definitely be yours in the future. You're Dad's most considerate little padded jacket, so this time I want to hear your opinion."
Although Xu Feifei didn't understand why her dad would ask her about such things, she vaguely sensed this was a big deal.
Because his expression was very serious.
"Dad, but I don't understand any of this. What if I choose wrong?"
Uncle Xu smiled: "No need to understand. Mom and Dad both trust Feifei's choice."
No one could understand this—it was a true gamble.
Xu Feifei blinked her eyes: "Then... choose one?"
Mom asked: "One means our family keeps selling Universal Chargers? Alright."
Xu Feifei suddenly interrupted: "Wait, wait! Let me think..." She really felt she couldn't choose well and said:
"Dad, how about I give you an answer tomorrow? I want to go to school tomorrow and ask Liu Wenjie—he's super smart and never gets questions wrong."
Uncle Xu hadn't expected his precious daughter would entrust the power of life and death to someone else, but since the words were spoken, there was no taking them back.
"Alright, Dad will listen to Feifei. You can ask whoever you want."
Early the next morning, Liu Wenjie and little Xia Ying went to school together.
After greeting Liu Yingjun and Lin Xiaoli.
The two little ones walked side by side.
But after just a few steps, little Xia Ying spotted a familiar pretty girl standing at the school gate, holding a jacket in her hand.
Wasn't that Xu Feifei? Why was she here?
From afar, Xu Feifei also saw Liu Wenjie entering school and was about to wave happily when she glimpsed little Xia Ying beside him.
Curious... it's that girl again? She actually goes to school with Liu Wenjie? What exactly is their relationship?
Xu Feifei withdrew her hand and walked straight over to greet them: "Liu Wenjie! Good morning!"
Liu Wenjie looked at Xu Feifei with an expression of disdain. She put on her tsundere face: "What's with that look! Why do you seem unhappy the moment you see me!"
He recalled how this brat kept sniffing his clothes yesterday and felt Xu Feifei might develop some special fetish when she grows up.
"Remove the 'seem'."
Xu Feifei puffed her cheeks and turned her head away.
Little Xia Ying, carrying her backpack, watched their simple expression exchange and was surprised—didn't Older Brother Wenjie say he wouldn't be friends with Xu Feifei?
How did they become so familiar?
Liu Wenjie said to Xia Ying: "Xia Ying, you go to the classroom first. I have something to do with this girl."
Usually obedient, little Xia Ying hesitated but nodded: "Alright, then I'll go first, Older Brother Wenjie."
"Mm, bye."
"Bye." She walked reluctantly ahead, looking back every few steps.
Of course Xu Feifei heard how the girl addressed Liu Wenjie—Older Brother Wenjie? So she's really his sister. No wonder they're so familiar.
After little Xia Ying left, Xu Feifei hmphed and asked: "Was that pretty girl just now your sister? She's way cuter than you."
Liu Wenjie gave a perfunctory smile: "Can we get to the point? Did you bring the recorder?"
Xu Feifei hmmed and took it from her pocket: "I did. How could I forget something this important?" She handed the jacket to Liu Wenjie: "Here, returning your jacket. I washed it—thanks for lending it to me yesterday."
Liu Wenjie stared at the jacket in a daze.
Xu Feifei asked puzzled: "What's wrong? Take it."
In the end, he didn't reach out: "Keep the jacket. Consider it a souvenir for you."
Xu Feifei's face flushed with surprise: "G-give it to me? Really? But this is something you wore."
Liu Wenjie reached out: "Forget it, maybe you should return it. You don't need it."
Xu Feifei hugged it like a treasure: "Hey! Who says I don't need it! Once you give something away, you can't take it back." She looked at the jacket fondly, her pink face unable to hide her joy, muttering:
"Thanks. It's the first time I've received clothes from a boy as a gift."
Liu Wenjie: "....."
The two walked toward the classroom together. Liu Wenjie instructed:
"When the vice president calls Jiang Rao to talk alone, we'll hide nearby and stay quiet. Once we record the key evidence that she ordered the vice president, you come out, got it?"
Xu Feifei still held the jacket close, sniffing it with her little nose. Even after washing, there was still a faint scent.
Liu Wenjie didn't know what she was doing again: "Xu Feifei, did you hear what I said?"
Xu Feifei startled and said awkwardly: "I heard! Once we get the evidence, we can go find the homeroom teacher today, right?"
"Mm... or maybe you should return the clothes."
"No way!" She refused firmly, hugging it tighter: "Stingy—it's just a piece of clothing! I'll give you one of my worn dresses someday."
"I don't want it. I'd have nightmares."
"Hmph!"
