Qu Xiao rubbed her sleepy eyes in the villa’s bedroom and sat up, looking for the person who slept next to her.

Shang Yan came out of the bathroom, and on his vast shoulders were a few striking deep red scratches.

He met Qu Xiao’s gaze in the mirror and suddenly curled his thin lips, deliberately removing his towel.

Qu Xiao hurriedly averted her gaze. The tips of her ears and cheeks inevitably flushed, and she secretly licked her red lips with her tongue.

Buzz. The phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated. Qu Xiao had a scare and looked over. She caught a glimpse of the notification on the green-colored app.

Qu Xiao held the phone and wanted to pass it to Shang Yan, but he naturally replied, “Take a look. Who is it?”

“The password is your birthday.”

Qu Xiao was stunned. Her fingertips lightly poked the screen. When she saw the phone suddenly unlocked, her heart was filled with a sense of security.

Shang Liqing sent a few messages which were filled with complaints and accusations.

[Second Brother, are you going to sever your relationship with me because of Qu Xiao?]

[Can’t you see that I’m doing this for your good? All of you think I’m making trouble, but Qu Xiao isn’t worthy of what you do for her!]

As the person involved, Qu Xiao felt a little awkward.

She silently stuffed the phone into Shang Yan’s hand. Recalling the few times the original Qu Xiao interacted with Shang Liqing, those were not good memories. Her sister-in-law wanted to elope with another man every day and completely disregarded her brother’s feelings.

If it were her, Qu Xiao would also object and be annoyed.

Shang Yan keenly caught her depressed mood and hugged Qu Xiao’s waist from behind. “I’ll be the one to spend the rest of my life with you. Their feelings and opinions are not important. Don’t let them affect your mood, understand?”

Qu Xiao shook her head. Her eyes were sincere and pure as she pushed Shang Yan’s arm away. “But they’re your family.”

“Can you help me think of a way? Does Liqing have something or someone she likes? Give me some information and clues.”

Shang Yan frowned. He realized that Qu Xiao was seriously trying to ease the relationship with Shang Liqing, and so he told her whatever he knew about his sister.

Qu Xiao’s eyes lit up when she heard a particular keyword. She snatched Shang Yan’s phone and replied to Shang Liqing’s message.

[LIVE concert at six in the evening. I bought you tickets.]

Qu Xiao imitated Shang Yan’s tone. After receiving Shang Liqing’s affirmative answer, she rummaged through the dress in her closet and meticulously dressed up to go to the appointed meeting venue.

The LIVE concert was Shang Liqing’s favorite young idol band. They made their name with heavy metal rock. Their lyrics conveyed the attitude of young people towards life, which complained about being dejected yet faintly yielding hope for the future.

Shang Liqing wore dreadlocks in a reggae style, and there were rainbow stickers and tattoos on her face. She waited at the door.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was not until the concert was about to begin that Shang Liqing saw the Shang family’s MPV slowly approaching. She ran over with two cups of drinks in her arms and opened the car door. But she saw Qu Xiao wearing a dark leather skirt and waving at her with a smile.

“Why is it you?”

Shang Liqing questioned with discontent. Qu Xiao waved the two VIP rock zone tickets in her hands.

“If you don’t enter now, you might have to listen outside!”

“How could your brother possibly come here to listen to a concert?”

Qu Xiao stepped out of the car and patted Shang Liqing’s shoulder. She took a drink from her hand and said while biting the straw, “Thank you.”

Shang Liqing stared at her back and stomped her feet fiercely, waving her fists at Qu Xiao.

However, due to the temptation of the concert, she still resigned herself to fate and followed Qu Xiao with her head lowered. The two of them came to the front row of the rock zone. The band’s lead singer had already started adjusting the guitar and bass.

“Go for it! I will always support you guys!”

Shang Liqing revealed the enthusiasm and vitality that a girl of her age should have as she waved the glow stick.

Qu Xiao silently stared at her from the side and sighed in her heart. Perhaps she was not a bad person. She was just holding grievances against her.

The band’s lead singer was a visual rock youth. His fair skin was like a western vampire. Each time he interacted with the fans below the stage, there would be waves of screaming. Shang Liqing shouted until her voice became hoarse, and her eyes were filled with excitement.

After the two-hour concert ended, Shang Liqing walked out of the venue exhausted but could not hide her happiness.

Qu Xiao grabbed her wrist and pointed at the quiet Western restaurant beside her. “I’ll treat you to a meal. Let’s sit down and chat.”

Shang Liqing frowned and wanted to refuse. “Don’t think you can bribe me just by treating me to a concert. I’m different from Shang Xinchen!”

As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach rumbled.

Qu Xiao pursed her red lips and laughed. She raised her wrist and pretended to look at the time. “It’ll probably take two hours to get back to the old residence from here. Everyone is calling for a car after the concert has ended, so the queue will take long. I have specially instructed the Shang family’s drivers not to come and pick you up.”

“Moreover, the old residence’s butler and nanny are on vacation. I’m afraid you’ll have to order some fast food to fill your stomach if you go back.”

“Why don’t you extort me and eat something good?”

Qu Xiao offered Shang Liqing a tempting proposal that was hard to refuse. Shang Liqing smacked her lips, and her eyes showed hints of compromise after some hesitation. However, she still muttered unforgivingly, “Aren’t you still using my second brother’s money when you pay with the credit card? Stop pretending to be generous!”
