Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

The only odd thing was that she was wearing an eye patch over her right eye; someone who didn't know better might think she had a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) disorder.

This is Mo Lingyun as a child.

Seeing this from afar, Mo Lingyun abandoned her bodyguards and ran towards them, waving and smiling happily.

"Ah! Brother Yuzhe! Sister Yuche! Over here!"

"Slow down, don't fall!"

Yu Zhe made a megaphone shape with his hand and shouted something from afar, but as soon as he finished shouting, Yu Che, who was pouting, pressed his arm down.

After Mo Lingyun arrived here, as the eldest daughter of the Mo family, she would certainly greet Yang Qiuyun and Su Zhenfeng politely first.

"Uncle and Aunt, hello! I'm sorry to bother you so much today!"

Yang Qiuyun smiled and said, "No need to bother me, it's nice to keep these two children company. Yun'er is getting more and more beautiful."

"Hehehe..."

As the head of the Su family, Su Zhenfeng asked another question: "Yun'er, how has your father been lately? What does he think of the cooperation project we discussed last time... cough!"

Yang Qiuyun delivered a powerful elbow strike to Su Zhenfeng's stomach: "Zhenfeng, you need to be more careful. You should be saying these things in a meeting, not to a child."

"Ah? Ah... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's not that... Yu Zhe's talent has surprised me too much lately, so I've been a little silly."

Su Zhenfeng was in an awkward position. Indeed, why was he talking about business with a child?

The main reason is that Yu Zhe has recently shown exceptional business acumen within the family. Su Zhenfeng and the seven-year-old Yu Zhe can discuss business without any difficulty.

However, not every child is like Yuzhe.

But this can't be blamed on Su Zhenfeng... At this time, the economic scale of the Mo family was similar to that of the Su family. Although they were in different cities, the Su family still needed to cooperate with the Mo family in many aspects.

So, the fact that he always talks about business matters is a side effect of being the head of the Su family.

Yang Qiuyun and Su Zhenfeng turned around and saw that Mo Lingyun was already chatting and laughing with Yu Zhe and Yu Che, discussing the interesting things that had happened in Cangming City recently.

This is really rare, as Yu Zhe and Yu Che usually don't have many playmates.

Mo Lingyun's bodyguards followed and joined the bodyguards behind the Su family, working together to maintain security not far away.

"Brother Yuzhe, where are we going today?"

"Qi family... Yun'er, what's wrong with you? You followed us here without even knowing where we were going?"

"I don't care where we go, as long as I'm playing with Brother Yuzhe, anywhere is fine with me!"

“Then you should go back to your own home…” Yu Che said softly, hugging Yu Zhe’s arm tightly as if asserting her ownership.

"It's really strange that Sister Yuche came out today."

Yu Che ignored her, so Yu Zhe patted her shoulder and said, "Yu Che? Didn't your brother tell you to be polite?"

"..."

Hmph, that depends on who you're being polite to. What need is there for politeness to a vixen like this who comes to play with your brother every few days?

Helpless, Yu Zhe could only lean close to Yu Che's ear and whisper, "Besides rock sugar, there will be steamed buns when we get home. You can choose the filling yourself~"

"!"

A young girl shouldn't suffer losses in front of her.

Yu Che turned her head, still tightly holding Yu Zhe's left arm, and nodded slightly to Mo Lingyun.

"Eh..."

Although Mo Lingyun was young, she always felt that her older sister Yu Che harbored a great deal of hostility towards her...

Is it a mistake, an illusion?

It's not a misconception; anyone who wants to take Yu Che's brother away is an enemy.

Thinking about this, Yu Che remembered that the Qi family's main branch, which they were going to visit today, also had an only daughter, whose name seemed to be Qi Xinye.

Hmm... I hope this person is sensible and not another vixen.

Bonus Chapter: Qi Xinye (2) (Bonus Chapter)

Not long after, the Su family's car arrived at the intersection.

Su Zhenfeng and the others got into a car and headed towards the Qi Family Manor.

..................... ..

There weren't many cars on the road at that time, and since it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, the roads were even more deserted. The car arrived at the gate of Qi Family Manor in less than an hour.

However, this hour really bored the kids. Smartphones had just started to appear and were still very imperfect. There was nothing to do on the way, and they hadn't expected the journey to be so long.

After getting out of the car, Mo Lingyun jumped off first. Finally free to hop around, she grabbed Yu Zhe's hand and tried to run into the Qi family manor.

"Come on, Brother Yuzhe! Let's go inside and play hide-and-seek. This place looks perfect for hiding. You come and find me, and Sister Yuche, come along too!"

"Wait a minute."

Yu Zhe grabbed her by the back of her collar and pulled her back.

Yu Zhe pointed to the gate over there: "You think this is your home... that you can just walk in whenever you want? My parents are in contact with the higher-ups of the Qi family. We can only come in if they give us permission."

"Is there any logic to this?"

Mo Lingyun looked genuinely surprised: "But when I was in Cangming City, not only my own house, but whichever courtyard I wanted to go to, they would all come out to meet me."

"That's because your family is rich and powerful... so everyone has to give way to you. It doesn't mean you can ignore them. Besides, that's in Cangming City. Who knows you in Fenghai City?"

Sigh... Yun'er is such a pampered little princess. No, saying she's pampered isn't quite right; it's more accurate to say she's naive and ignorant of the ways of the world.

Yu Che also whispered, "Hmph... You should learn some common sense. You'll have to let your brother teach you this."

However, at this time, Yu Che was very weak-willed, and only she heard what she said; no one else heard it.

Mo Lingyun was clearly not an arrogant and domineering young lady; she would immediately learn to accept what Yu Zhe said.

Then she consciously stepped back.

"Yes, Yun'er understands. We can't go in by ourselves if they don't agree. Brother Yuzhe is so amazing. Every time I come to play with you, I feel like I can learn a lot of things that I didn't know before."

"No, no, no... this is common sense. Oh well, it's necessary to understand these things."

In short, don't be too naughty. Look at my sister, she's so well-behaved and doesn't cause us any trouble.

Mo Lingyun glanced at Yu Che, and indeed... he stood there holding Yu Zhe's arm, not saying a word...

The main problem is that Yu Che was cursing at you just now, didn't you hear it?

Since everyone is a seven-year-old child, Mo Lingyun followed Yu Che's example, went to Yu Zhe's other side, took his other arm, and stood obediently.

This drew a sharp glare from Yu Che, but Yun'er was still young and didn't quite understand that look.

Before Yu Che could say anything...

Yang Qiuyun waved over and said, "Hey! The children are here, we can go in now."

"They're here, they're here."

Yu Zhe led Yu Che and Mo Lingyun over, holding one in each hand.

Upon entering the Qi Family Manor, we were greeted by people who had come to welcome us after only a few steps.

At this time, the head of the Qi family was still Qi Yi's father, who would later become the head of the Qi family. (Note: Qi Yi's uncle, Qi Jiang, took power after Qi Yi's father passed away.)

The Qi family manor was filled with lanterns, creating a festive atmosphere for the Chinese New Year. There was even a banner specifically welcoming the Su family.

The head of the Qi family was over fifty years old. He warmly welcomed the arrival of the Su family's main branch. In his mind, the Qi family's development in Fenghai City still needed to rely heavily on the Su family.

"Okay, shall we go inside and have a seat?"

After talking for a while, the head of the Qi family made this suggestion, saying that he had many business matters he wanted to discuss with Su Zhenfeng.

"Of course, of course, Uncle, please go ahead."

"please."

Qi Yi and Su Zhenfeng were classmates before, so Su Zhenfeng should definitely call his father "uncle".

The people on both sides chatted and laughed as they slowly made their way into the manor.

Yu Zhe wasn't interested in these business matters, but he did notice one person.

It was the little girl standing next to a young man wearing glasses.

The young man wearing glasses is Qi Yi, and the little girl next to him is his daughter, Qi Xinye.

The reason Yu Zhe noticed her was nothing more than that.

Firstly, she is certainly quite eye-catching. She is wearing a rather gorgeous children's dress, with long hair the color of the night sky when there are stars, and eyes of the same color. No matter how you look at her, she is dignified, formal, and extremely pretty.

Of course, this is definitely not the main reason why Yu Zhe noticed her.

The main reason is that from the moment she appeared until she walked away, apart from politely greeting everyone, she stood there motionless. Logically speaking, children of this age are usually the most boisterous.

Yu Che is an exception; she is rather introverted.

Mo Lingyun, who is still looking around, is a perfect example; she's practically overflowing with energy.

But the girl over there didn't move an inch before turning back, and her expression didn't even change.

What a strange person.

That was Yu Zhe's first impression of her.

Led by the head of the Qi family, the group entered the main residence of the Qi family manor.

Next, the Qi family patriarch and Qi Yi need to go to the conference room to discuss some recent cooperative projects with Su Zhenfeng and Yang Qiuyun. They are still very busy.

Before leaving, Yang Qiuyun came back and gave instructions.

"Yu Zhe, keep an eye on Yu Che and Yun'er. Don't let them run around. They can just play in the yard. Don't let them break anyone's things."

"I know, don't worry."

Oh dear, Mom, you've always overlooked one thing: I'm just a seven-year-old child too!

On the other hand, Yu Zhe also noticed a detail.

That is, before Qi Yi left, he also went to tell the little girl some things.

Yu Zhe leaned closer to listen.
