Chapter 318: Chapter 212: Dad, You Wouldn’t Want the Secret to Get Out, Would You?

When Shen Qiushan finally lay down on his bed, a WeChat message from Shen Yixiao had already come through. It was a link from Jingxi Mall. As soon as he clicked it open, the corners of his mouth twitched.

A computer costing over forty thousand!

This brat really thinks of his dad as a cash cow to slaughter!

Fine!

I’ll just remember this debt!

We’ll settle this when your bones have healed!

Shen Qiushan thought silently, and went ahead with the payment.

The good thing about Jingxi Mall is that its self-operated products are delivered very quickly, and this laptop is a “Same-Day Delivery” item.

It showed that it could be delivered by 3 PM.

Shen Qiushan took a screenshot of the payment page and sent it to Shen Yixiao.

[Wait at home tomorrow]

Shen Yixiao swiftly replied with a “heart” emoji.

Then he flattered: The most handsome dad in the world!

Shen Qiushan tossed his phone aside, too lazy to bother with this “ingrate.”

The next day.

When Shen Qiushan woke up, it was already past ten.

He walked out of the room and found Shen Yanran, Lin Jiayu, and Xu Pipa, the three little girls, already having their meal.

“Dad, why are you just waking up now?”

“We were starving, so we ordered takeout ourselves!”

Seeing her dad, Shen Yanran pouted a little.

“I went to bed too late last night!”

Shen Qiushan stretched lazily and sat down at the dining table.

“Second Sister is even more outrageous, she hasn’t woken up yet.”

“We said we were going home together today!”

As she spoke, Lin Jiayu glanced at the room where Lin Xiamo was sleeping. The door was still tightly shut.

“Busy at the tavern all day, it’s normal to be tired.”

Shen Qiushan explained for Lin Xiamo, then picked up a bun and started to eat.

When the four of them finished eating, Lin Xiamo finally emerged from her room.

She didn’t show any signs of fatigue, on the contrary, she seemed radiant.

“Looks like she really needs her beauty sleep!”

Seeing the radiant Second Sister, Lin Jiayu couldn’t help but remark.

“Aunt, you’re famous now!”

“The internet is buzzing about your Red Rose Band.”

Shen Yanran picked up the phone on the table and waved it.

“Yeah, I saw.”

As soon as she woke up, she checked her WeChat messages first, finding hundreds of messages in the Red Rose Band’s group chat. Hu Tingting, Fang Di, and Zhu Xinyue were eagerly sharing news from various sources as well as interesting comments from netizens.

The band’s recognition by the audience made Lin Xiamo very happy, giving her more courage to come clean with her dad.

And her music career has taken an important step forward.

While they were chatting about the Red Rose Band, Shen Qiushan received a call from the property management center of the residential area. A Jingxi delivery person was there to make a delivery and asked if Shen Qiushan needed help with delivery to the door or if the item should be left at the gate.

In high-end residences like Jinjiang Bay, outsiders are not allowed in, and deliveries and takeouts are handled by the property management.

“Please deliver it to the door, thank you.”

Shen Qiushan knew it was the Alienware laptop he ordered in the early morning that had arrived.

“Dad, is it my computer that’s here?”

Unbeknownst to him, Shen Yixiao was already out of his room in an electric wheelchair.

“Yes.”

Shen Qiushan nodded lightly.

“Hehe, awesome!”

“Now I can play today!!”

Shen Yixiao was overjoyed, grinning ear to ear, maneuvering his wheelchair to the door like “Amah Rock,” eagerly waiting for the delivery from the property staff.

“Dad, what computer is it?”

“Why is he so happy about it?”

Shen Yanran asked with a curious expression.

“A gaming laptop.”

“Alright, tidy up and get ready to go out~”

Shen Qiushan casually brushed it off.

He had always favored his daughter over his son, usually giving Shen Yanran slightly better things than what he gave to Shen Yixiao.

Because, in Shen Qiushan’s view, boys can be raised a bit rough.

But this time, Shen Qiushan bought Shen Yixiao a computer worth over forty thousand.

As everyone was about to leave, the laptop was delivered. Shen Yixiao couldn’t wait to unwrap it, his face full of uncontainable excitement.

Shen Yanran had no interest in gaming laptops and didn’t recognize the brand at all.

But Lin Jiayu, this seasoned gamer, was well aware of the famed “Alienware,” and she exclaimed in surprise: “Wow, an Alienware gaming laptop!”

“No wonder you were waiting at the door so early!”

Shen Yixiao shrugged boastfully, not saying a word.

He had coveted this Alienware gaming laptop for a long time. He had mentioned it to his dad before, but Shen Qiushan didn’t agree to buy it for him.

This time he finally got what he wanted.

“Is that laptop expensive?”

The group took the elevator to the underground parking lot.

Shen Yanran, who was walking behind, leaned closer to Lin Jiayu’s ear and asked.

“Of course.”

“The high-end configurations can cost tens of thousands, even into the hundreds of thousands.”

Lin Jiayu sighed: “Your dad must be doing well, buying such an expensive computer without batting an eye!”

“Tens of thousands?”

“That’s way too expensive…”

Shen Yanran was shocked. She knew her dad well; he always made sure things were “even.”

Based on past experiences, if he bought something worth tens of thousands for Shen Yixiao, he would at least get her something of equal value.

But the problem was, this wasn’t any holiday, nor was there any special occasion. It was just baffling!

“Xiaoxiao found out.”

Shen Qiushan, walking ahead, said quietly to Lin Xiamo.

“Huh??”

Lin Xiamo paused, her delicate face full of shock. She had just thought that her nephew’s look at her was a bit odd.

Turns out, this was the reason.

“Last night, this kid was playing games in the living room…..”

Shen Qiushan complained: “He extorted a laptop from me, as hush money!”

“I see!”

Lin Xiamo was speechless for a while. She had been wondering why Shen Qiushan suddenly bought such an expensive laptop for Shen Yixiao. It turned out he was being extorted.

“I’ll note it down. Later, I’ll find an opportunity to settle the score with this brat.”

Speaking, the group got into the car.

Xu Pipa naturally wasn’t going to the Lin Family’s place. Shen Qiushan dropped her off at the subway entrance. This Little Mushroom Head was now a part-time bartender at the Red Rose Tavern. She took the subway back to school and would go to the tavern to work later.

Since the tavern was Shen Qiushan’s business, Xu Pipa was particularly attentive to her work. Originally, she could have gone later, but she didn’t even return to school. As soon as she got off the subway, she went straight to the tavern to clean with the staff.

Of course, Shen Qiushan found out about these little details later from people like Hu Tingting…..

Lin Family.

Before entering, Shen Qiushan took a deep breath.

Besides this, he had an even more daring move. He had bought a box of “Awakening Oral Liquid” in advance, then threw away the eight bottles of oral liquid inside and replaced them with the system-rewarded Little Blue Bottle.

He couldn’t believe that with this box of “Awakening Oral Liquid,” Director Lin’s temper could still flare up?

“Shen Qiushan!”

“Let me ask you, was it your instigation for Momo to participate in ’Voice of Hua Country’?”

Lin Moxuan sat on the sofa with a dark face, and as soon as he saw Shen Qiushan, he began interrogating him aggressively.

“Participating in ’Voice of Hua Country’ was my own idea!”

Before Shen Qiushan could respond, Lin Xiamo chimed in.

“You don’t speak!”

Lin Moxuan waved his hand with a stern face. He had already made up his mind that no matter what, he would use this incident to take a jab at Shen Qiushan.

As for why?

His own daughter, he couldn’t really bear to reprimand harshly.

But the anger needed an outlet.

Moreover, the song “Red Rose” was written by Shen Qiushan. If it weren’t for him writing the song, how could his daughter participate in “Voice of Hua Country”?

So, in the end, Shen Qiushan was still the culprit!

“Shen Qiushan, speak!”

Lin Moxuan put on a stern face again, looking at Shen Qiushan.

“Dad, Momo participating in ’Voice of Hua Country,’ I was just informed about it. It wasn’t really my instigation.”

“However, I do support it. I believe that since Momo has such talent, it shouldn’t be wasted…”

As he spoke, Shen Qiushan handed over the prepared Awakening Oral Liquid: “Dad, I know you’re busy with work. Your brain is often overworked. This oral liquid is very effective…..”

“Enough of that!”

“What kind of crap oral liquid!!”

Lin Moxuan was about to slap away the oral liquid that Shen Qiushan handed over, but he suddenly noticed that the Little Blue Bottle in the transparent box looked very familiar.

His hand froze in mid-air.

This Little Blue Bottle, as described by an advertisement, is known for: “Only those who use it will know!”

A few days ago, Lin Moxuan had a meal with a superior, and to curry favor, he had painfully parted with one bottle as a gift.

As a result, just yesterday, that superior’s secretary conveyed a message from him, indirectly asking if there was more in stock.

Therefore, for Lin Moxuan, the significance of this Little Blue Bottle was no longer limited to just enhancing his own health. It even possessed social attributes.
