Chapter 517: Xiao Yao at My House Is Not an Unreasonable Person

Chu Yao gave her an inscrutable look, “Brute force is not the way to go.

Against those shameless creatures, you have to overpower them with intellect.”

Qu Xiaoxiao nodded slowly, then hesitated, “But how do I outsmart them?”

Chu Yao squinted her eyes and looked down at her from above.

Her fingers clenched excitedly.

This question hit the nail on the head!

So she blabbered on about her recording triumph as if she herself were a hero, arrogance shining in her eyes as she spoke.

Qu Xiaoxiao was beguiled, her mind somewhat dazed, “I’ve learned something.

Thank you, Sister Yao, you truly deserve your reputation!”

Chu Yao’s lips curved up in a smug smile, “You’re still young.

Read more books to enrich yourself.”

After basking in the glory of looking profound, Chu Yao planned to go find Nan Jiaojiao and her company, but Qu Xiaoxiao followed her, eager to learn, “Sister Yao, what books should I read?

Could you recommend a couple for me?”

Chu Yao instinctively paused.

The only books she had read were “How to Seduce a Tycoon and Marry into a Wealthy Family” and “How to Avoid Being Abandoned by a Wealthy Family.”

With the measly knowledge she had, recommending books was a stretch; the only ones she had seriously read were history textbooks from the first and second grade of elementary school.

Chu Yao faked a cough twice, “Everyone has different tastes in books.

Just read more and find what suits you.”

Qu Xiaoxiao nodded obediently, looking at Chu Yao as though she were a revered deity.

Just then, a man dressed in a suit and looking like an assistant blocked their path.

“Miss, the gentleman asks that you join him.

He is waiting for you in the upstairs private room.”

The playfulness vanished from Chu Yao’s face in an instant.

Her back straightened, fingertips growing cold.

The only people who addressed her directly as ‘miss’ were members of the Mo Family.

After a moment, she hardened her expression, the corners of her mouth drawing up coldly, “Which gentleman?

Has Mo Tingshen come back?”

The man kept his head down, neither servile nor overbearing, “No, it’s the gentleman.”

Chu Yao’s entire being felt chilled.

The hand tucking her hair behind her ear tightened to conceal any trembling.

“Whether he comes back or not, what does it have to do with me?

If he wants to see me, let him call.

Don’t come bothering me.”

No sooner had she spoken than she tugged at Qu Xiaoxiao, eager to leave.

However, she didn’t control her strength well, yanking her forward so that Qu Xiaoxiao stumbled into her.

Chu Yao collided with a waiter pouring wine, causing his tray to tilt and the wine to spill.

Although the waiter managed to avoid it, Chu Yao’s dress wasn’t so lucky.

“I’m so sorry, are you alright?

We have a resting room here, if it’s convenient for you…”

Chu Yao raised her hand, stopping him mid-sentence, “It’s fine, you can go.”

The waiter dared not leave, standing there anxiously.

He didn’t recognize the designer of Chu Yao’s gown, but knowing her worth, many upscale brands would provide her with gowns to wear.

He couldn’t afford the astronomical compensation if they demanded it!

“My Xiao Yao isn’t unreasonable.

If she’s told you to go, she isn’t pursuing the matter.”

Mo Li took off his suit jacket and draped it over Chu Yao, looking kindly at the waiter who was too nervous to breathe, “You can go now.”

The waiter bowed repeatedly.

The status of Mo Li had its advantages.

Not to mention his own capabilities, but his son Mo Tingshen was an even bigger force to be reckoned with.

“Sister Yao, is that your dad?

He’s really nice to you.”

Qu Xiaoxiao probably knew that Chu Yao was taken in by the Mo Family.

Though it was strange that Chu Yao didn’t share their surname, Mo Li was known as the most generous philanthropist who had helped many people and was one of the biggest sponsors of the award ceremony.

It was easy to feel a boundless goodwill toward him.

However, Chu Yao remained cold and unresponsive, simply saying, “Go wait for me with Jiaojiao.”
