Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Shenshen Is So Cute
Tongcheng, beneath the night sky, the stars shined like a summer dream.
In the Li Family's grand courtyard, dozens of cars were parked while inside the living room, the atmosphere was once so heavy and oppressive that it felt like it might explode.
The patriarch of the Li Family cast an authoritative glance around the room filled with members from various branches of the Li Family and spoke with an assertive tone, "Little Mi Shen is so adorable. Is there not even one person willing to take her in?"
Adorable?
Some stole glances at the little girl sitting beside the old man. With red lips, white teeth, and a cherubic face framed by large, sparkling eyes, she indeed looked quite adorable.
But her behavior was anything but adorable. It was actually somewhat terrifying to think about...
Ten days ago, M.C. Group went bankrupt and closed down. Chairman Mi Zhengyang and his wife died in a traffic accident that very night.
Three days ago, old Master Li brought back a girl. Her name was Mi Shen, the daughter of Mi Zhengyang from M.C. Group.
In front of all the Li Family members, the old man announced, "Henceforth, Mi Shen will be my fifth great-granddaughter. Everyone must treat her well, and nobody is allowed to bully her!"
With an order from the elder, everyone was too busy trying to curry favor, and who would dare to offend Mi Shen at the risk of their lives?
That very night, Mi Shen's room was filled with gifts.
But the peace did not last long. Everything was fine for a day, but by the next day, trouble started to surface everywhere.
Little Mi Shen first wrapped herself in a bedsheet and jumped out of the second floor window, nearly breaking her leg. Then she punched the second young miss, who was two years older than her, causing a nosebleed. Lastly, she almost set fire to fourth young miss's long hair, which she was so proud of...
In just three short days, the Li Family was thrown into complete chaos, and old Master Li, well over sixty, was troubled to no end. Just yesterday, Mi Shen had nearly set the curtains on fire...
Having no other choice, old Master Li called everyone together for an emergency meeting to discuss and see if someone would be willing to take Mi Shen in and give her a good education and upbringing.
However, after these few days, all members of the Li Family had grown wary of the little girl who appeared pure and harmless on the outside, but was in reality a proper mischief-maker. One by one, they all wished to keep their distance. Who would dare to step forward voluntarily?
With the old patriarch present, no one dared to utter a word of refusal, so all remained silent.
Old Master Li looked around and said, "Since no one is speaking up, let's have Shenshen choose herself."
As soon as he said this, everyone's face immediately showed a look of fear, their eyes darting about, terrified that Mi Shen might choose them.
The old man looked down and asked Mi Shen in a kind and friendly tone, "Shenshen, who would you like to live with?"
The girl looked up at him, blinked her shining eyes, and didn't speak.
Old Master Li felt a bit uncomfortable under her clear gaze and cleared his throat before saying, "Cough, that is, your great-grandfather isn't rejecting you. It's just that... uh... I am just too old to take care of you, and I want to provide you with better education, so I can only... "
Before he could finish, Little Mi Shen nodded solemnly and then stood up, quietly looking around.
Anyone caught in her gaze hurriedly looked away, either staring at their toes or touching their noses, with not a single one daring to meet her eyes head-on.
Despite her being just a little girl, at that moment, she seemed to everyone like a fearsome demon baring her teeth and claws!
Li Fengchang sat in a corner, his detached gaze sweeping the room, finding the whole situation rather amusing. If outsiders knew that the formidable members of the Li Family were brought to their knees by a small child still smelling of milk, wouldn't they laugh their heads off?
Suddenly, his gaze stilled and landed on the little girl sitting across from him. And at that moment, Mi Shen was also staring at him with her large eyes, wide and unblinking.
