The Bigshot Shocks The World When She Backs Home Chapter 438

Chapter 438 - Return Gift

He turned in the direction from where the pastry had been launched.

It was Qin Jing.

She watched as her target smoothly dodged the cake and shook her head in disappointment. Then, without missing a beat, she picked up another cake slice and threw it at Lu Qingagain.

Lu Qing dodged yet again, but this time, a tiny rain of powdered sugar managed to catch his shoes.

They looked particularly striking, with the stark contrast of minuscule white grains against the black leather.

Qin Jing sighed audibly. “Darn it, missed again.”

Seeing how bummed she is, Yao Tangreached out for a slice herself and took a turn in throwing it atLu Qing.

Pa!

The cake hit him square in the face, with bits of frosting and fruit slowly slipping down his nose. He looked like a character from a gag show.

“Awesome, Sister Tang!”Qin Jingexclaimed, jumping to her feet and clapping her hands.

Yao Tang only hummed and said nothing.

Meanwhile, Lu Qing’s hands clenched into fists as he glared at the girls.

He could feel the sticky cream as it began to harden against his skin. The sickly sweet smell was practically embedded inside his nostrils.

He swiped at his face and flicked the smashed bits of cake off his hand. “Miss Yao,” he said, his voice low and cold. “Aren’t you being too insolent?”

Qin Jing whistled then, drawing his attention. “This is our little gift to you. Why, do you not like it?”

“All right. Fine! Since you insist on acting this way, I won’t go easy on you. You brought this upon yourselves, so don’t you go blaming me for sparing you no mercy.”

Qin Jing grinned up at him, unfazed. “Why don’t you go run into the bathroom and wash your face first, hmm?”

Thankfully, Lu Qingshared the same thought, and he stomped away to go and clean himself up.

Standing a little to the side, Xu Xuanglanced atYao Tangwarily before turning her attention back to her Grandma Xu.

She leaned over and stroked the old woman’s back. When her condition seemed to have stabilized, Xu Xuanhoisted her grandmother up on her back again. “Thank you,” she said toYao Tang. “I’ll take Grandma home so that she can get a proper rest.”

Qin Jing let out a frustrated sigh. “If you really want to thank us, then stop hanging aroundYao Ran. She’s not a good person.”Xu Xuanducked her head and didn’t say anything.

She ambled her way to the door, making sure not to jostle her grandmother so much.

Just before she could step out into the hall, Qin Jing said, “Why don’t we wait for Grandma to wake up before you take her home?”

“No,” Xu Xuanshook her head. “Grandma doesn’t like this place.”

Qin Jing looked stumped for a moment, then she lookedXu Xuanup and down and said, “You should at least change your clothes first.”

If she hadn’t pointed it out, Xu Xuanwouldn’t have remembered how scantily clad she still was.

Her face immediately turned a bright shade of red.

She gingerly put the old woman down and rushed to the bathroom, grabbing her clothes on her way.

When she emerged moments later, she appeared more relaxed and comfortable.

Xu Xuan was about to carry Grandma Xu on her back again whenQin Jingpushed her arms aside. “I’ve already called for our family car,” she said excitedly. “Let’s go home together, I’ll drop you guys off along the way.”

Xu Xuan was visibly reluctant to accept the offer. “I don’t think… I mean, do you even know the directions to my house.”

“It’s okay! You can just tell me once we’re on our way. Since we’re schoolmates, we should take care of each other whenever we can.”

“No, really, it’s too much trouble.”

Qin Jing was quickly growing unhappy withXu Xuan’s resistance. “Why are you so stubborn? I already said that it’s okay, so it’s no trouble at all. What are you afraid of, anyway?Besides,Yao Tangcan look after your grandmother while we’re in the car. You need her to treat Grandma’s illness, don’t you? Stop being so pigheaded, if only for your Grandma’s sake.”

In all fairness, Xu Xuandid not take offense toQin Jing’s scolding, though she did need a few seconds to consider her words. “All right, then. I’m sorry for troubling you guys with this.”

She gave Yao Tanga look that seemed to ask when and how the treatment would start.

Yao Tang understood right away. “We’ll have to wait until her vital signs are back to normal. I’ll make another assessment then.”

Xu Xuan nodded in agreement and gaveQin Jingher home address.

She fussed over Grandma Xu throughout the drive, but the old woman never opened her eyes. Try as she might to remain calm, Xu Xuancouldn’t help the lingering worries in her heart.

“Everything is fine,” Yao Tangreassured her. “Sleep would do her a lot of good.”

Xu Xuan held on to the other girl’s advice and told herself that her instincts had never failed her before.

She had faith in Yao Tang.

Yao Tang, the daughter of the Yao family who mistakenly exchanged at birth, was finally found. Unexpectedly, since her parents felt that she was embarrassing, they never recognized her as their own, and claimed that she was a relative's child who came to live with them. Everyone thought that Yao Tang was just a bloodsucker who was greedy for glory and clung to her "relative's" family. Her father, Yao Feng, registered Yao Tang at the Municipal No.1 Middle School for school. Since Yao Tang failed all of her subjects, she was rejected by the teaching supervisor. When Yao Feng left with Yao Tang, he met the principal of No.1 Middle School. He quickly went up to greet him, but the principal walked past him and tugged at Yao Tang excitedly. "You're finally willing to come to school!" Yao Tang bumped into Cheng Yan, who had once saved her life. Cheng Yan's friends were all convinced that Yao Tang was a gold-digger and waited for her to ask Cheng Yan to pay. When the bill came, Yao Tang quietly rummaged through her bag. Cheng Yan's friend said, "See, she's just stalling for time and waiting for Brother Cheng to pay!" Yao Tang took out a diamond-studded card. "Waiter, how much discount am I given for this card?" The waiter replied, "Honored guest, our diamond black card entitles you to spend here for free!" After that, a group of elite bigshots appeared. The heir of a top corporation posted, "CEO Yao, you've been on leave for a long time. Come back to work!" The international hacker group flooded computer screens everywhere. [To Yao Tang: Boss, it's fine if you don't come back to work, but can you not assault your own database?] When the usually emotionless prince, Cheng Yan, saw his little wife being surrounded, he flipped the table angrily. "Everyone, stay away. This is my wife!"
