103: Chapter 103 Bai Lulu, Qiao Feifei

"It's actually you, Little Bean."

"Besides hiding behind your elders to tattle, and relying on your family's money to buy some flashy toys, what other skills do you have?"

"Oh, that's right, you also have a 'loyal' little sidekick~"

As she spoke, she grabbed Qiao Feifei, who was trying to squeeze back into the frame, and pulled her over.

She draped an arm affectionately—or perhaps forcibly—around Qiao Feifei's shoulders and lifted her chin triumphantly toward the screen:

"See that? Your little sidekick~ is mine now~"

"Who told you to lose to me last time? A bet is a bet; from now on, Feifei is my person~"

"Little Bean, don't cry when you get lonely later on~"

"You—!"

Qiao Shiyu was trembling with rage, her little Face flushed red, and her fists clenched so tightly she wished she could rush over and tear that hateful Face on the other side of the screen to shreds!

"Auntie! That's not it! I..."

Qiao Feifei tried hard to explain, but Bai Lulu covered her mouth, so she could only make "mmph, mmph" sounds, looking at Qiao Shiyu with anxious, wide eyes.

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing Qiao Shiyu's flustered and exasperated appearance, Bai Lulu was in a great mood and let out a burst of arrogant laughter.

"Bye-bye now, Little Bean, keep basking in the sun and growing taller~"

After saying that, she didn't give Qiao Shiyu any chance to retort, and the virtual screen vanished with a "whoosh."

The communication was unilaterally cut off!

"Bastard! Aaaaaah—!"

Qiao Shiyu let out an angry scream and slammed her hand against the steering wheel.

She almost reflexively wanted to give chase!

Stomping on the accelerator, the fire-red sports car's engine let out a fierce roar, and its speed suddenly surged!

While accelerating, she tried to call the other side again.

The light screen just flickered, showing the connecting screen—

"Beep!" It was hung up again!

"Dead Meatball! Stinky Meatball! Aaaaah! I'm so mad!"

Qiao Shiyu was completely losing it.

The fiery temper she had slightly reined in due to Lin Yun's gentle guidance and the kind treatment from Su Yingxue and others was instantly dragged back out, even worse than before!

The car's speed continued to climb uncontrollably, and the scenery outside the window blurred into a streak of light.

Her mind was filled with Bai Lulu's triumphant Face and those infuriating words.

Especially the "ownership" issue regarding Qiao Feifei, which made her absolutely furious!

That was her dearest little niece!

The little tail that had followed behind her since she was small!

Although... although she gave her a bit too much allowance, that was her own choice! It was an expression of love!

How could she lose to that arch-nemesis Bai Lulu?!

Inside the ice-blue sports car ahead, the atmosphere was completely different.

Qiao Feifei finally managed to break free from the hand Bai Lulu had over her mouth, puffing up her cheeks angrily:

"Lulu! Why did you hang up on me again! I haven't even had a proper word with Auntie yet!"

Bai Lulu, while effortlessly steering the sports car, driving it both fast and steady, glanced at her sideways and said irritably:

"It's not that I'm picking on you, Feifei, but have you gotten used to being a sidekick? Are you uncomfortable if you don't serve your 'Auntie' for a day?"

"I went to so much trouble, finally liberating you from the 'clutches' of that little Devil King, and you, on the other hand, don't appreciate it at all and are even siding with her?"

Qiao Feifei was even less pleased, her little Face set:

"What do you mean sidekick! That is my dearest Auntie! We are blood-related! We are family! Fam-ily! Get it?!"

She deliberately emphasized the word "family," her large eyes wide and round.

Bai Lulu rolled her eyes elegantly, one hand on the steering wheel, while the other dramatically held her forehead:

"It's over, it's over, Feifei, you're hopeless; you've been completely 'trained,' there's no saving you."

"You're the one who's trained!" Qiao Feifei retorted.

"Can't you just yield to my Auntie? She's so cute, so adorable!"

"Look at how pretty she's dressed today, like a little princess!"

"Heh." Bai Lulu let out a cold laugh devoid of any humor, "Cute? Adorable? Little princess?"

"Give me a break! That Little Bean has known to go against me since she was small, jealous of my beauty and... well, my magnificence."

As she spoke, she puffed out her proud chest, a hint of self-satisfaction appearing on her Face.

"The fact that I haven't flattened her infuriating little Face is already out of respect for you; you want me to yield to her? Not a chance!"

Qiao Feifei knew these two rivals had a deep-seated grudge that couldn't be mediated in a few words, so she sighed and muttered, "It was clearly you who provoked her first..."

Bai Lulu pretended not to hear, glancing casually at the rearview mirror.

"Huh?" She let out a soft sound of surprise, her brows slightly furrowed, "That Little Bean... why hasn't she chased after us?"

According to her understanding of Qiao Shiyu, after being provoked like that, that little Devil King would definitely have floored the accelerator and chased after them with all her might.

She should have either tried to cut her off or at least driven alongside to continue the insults.

But in the rearview mirror, apart from the normal flow of traffic, that familiar flash of fire-red was nowhere to be seen.

Hearing this, Qiao Feifei also hurriedly leaned toward the car window, stretching her neck to look behind, and then checked the virtual screen inside the car that displayed the traffic behind them.

"Huh~ it really is..." She also felt it was strange, "Did Auntie have a change of heart? This doesn't seem like her..."

The two exchanged a look, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

According to the script, this moment should have been a tense and exciting chase, plus a round of long-distance verbal sparring.

This sudden "calm" actually made them feel a bit uncomfortable, maybe even... a little uneasy?

Countless thoughts flashed through Qiao Feifei's mind, her Face suddenly went pale, and she grabbed Bai Lulu's arm, her voice laced with a sob:

"Lulu! Could it be... could it be that I'm no longer important to Auntie? She's not even coming to snatch me back?"

"No! My Auntie! My dearest Auntie! Please, come and snatch me back!"

"I promise I'll never secretly hide your limited-edition dolls again! Even half the allowance is fine!"

The more she spoke, the sadder she became, as if she had truly been abandoned by her dearest Auntie, and her eyes began to redden.

Bai Lulu was given a jolt by this sudden "drama queen" performance, almost losing her grip on the steering wheel.

"Oh! Enough, enough! Cut it out!" She shook off Qiao Feifei's hand irritably, "Your Auntie can't even see you, who are you performing for?"

Qiao Feifei's crying stopped abruptly, she blinked her large, watery eyes, and realized, "Oh right... Auntie can't see."

She immediately put away that tearful expression, patted her chest, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Scared me to death, I really thought Auntie didn't want me anymore."

Bai Lulu was rendered speechless, watching this effortless "acting" of hers, and couldn't help but retort:

"I'm telling you, is it really worth it for that bit of allowance? Has the Qiao Family ever shorted you on food or clothing?"
