Reborn Queen’s Uprising

Chapter 40: Second Confrontation with the Monster

Tang Xiaoxiao flicked his forehead again and waved her fist, smiling like a little fox. “Your protest is invalid! If you don’t agree, I’ll call you ‘brat’ in the future and beat you up every day…”

The boy wanted to cry but had no tears. He gritted his teeth with hatred. “Woman! Just you wait, you’ll see how I’m going to deal with you when I grow up…”

But Tang Xiaoxiao only smirked and pulled his luggage over. While helping him unpack, she asked curiously, “Mu Li, are you really 16 years old? Why do I feel like you’re only 11 or 12 years old? You’re so delicate and cute.”

“Don’t use such disgusting words to describe me!” The boy glared at Tang Xiaoxiao and pouted. He suppressed his anger and explained, “All the men in the Auglas family are like this, due to genetic restriction. Before the age of 16, all the men in our family are very small and look like children, But after the age of 16, our bodies will enter a period of rapid development and before the age of 20, we will grow into real men!”

Ha. Tang Xiaoxiao glanced scornfully at the boy’s small body. “You, a man? I’m waiting for the day you become a man!”

Knocks sounded on the door and Tang Jingchen stood at the door with a helpless expression. “Xiaoxiao, don’t bully Professor… Mu Li already. He just looks younger than he is, but is a mons… Ahem, genius. At the same time, he is also the largest shareholder of SK. Even the investing god, Buffet, admired him in financial investment, economic management and other fields.

Tang Xiaoxiao reached out her hand and pinched Mu Li’s slightly face and sighed. “Tsk, tsk, I really can’t tell.”

What was wrong with this woman! The boy was angry again. His eyes turned wide and he was like a little tiger without fangs. “Don’t pinch my face! Woman, you should be glad that I don’t beat women, otherwise… you’ll be dead!”

Tang Xiaoxiao covered her mouth as she laughed and she winked at Mu Li. “I really can’t tell that our little brother is someone with principles.”

Tang Jingchen looked embarrassed and he took a few steps forward to pull Tang Xiaoxiao away. “Mu Li, have an early rest.”

Listening to the slam of the door, Mu Li’s anger disappeared and his face turned red from embarrassment in an instant. He sat on the edge of the bed quietly, pinched his nose bridge and said in a low voice, “Damn it! Sooner or later. I will be teased to death by this woman… If it was not for the sake of escaping the maelstrom of the family this year, I wouldn’t have come here to be teased by this woman!”

Speaking of this, Mu Li opened the inner layer of his suitcase, took out some silver mechanical parts from it, poured them on the carpet and assembled the parts together quickly and skillfully. Within moments, it became a Desert Eagle pistol. It was clearly a lethal weapon, but it was whirling on the tips of his fingers in obedience.

Seeming to have thought of something, Mu Li undid the belt around his waist and took out seven silver knives in the shape of blades. Under the light, the blades emitted a cold and sharp luster. It was hard to imagine that the blades, which were clearly lethal weapons, seemed to have a soul at this moment, following its master’s feelings and releasing its unique edge.

Gently stroking the cold surface of the gun and blade, Mu Li seemed to be slightly distracted. A trace of coldness and death-like deepness appeared on his adorable face as he murmured, “Damn the Auglas family’s genes, why can’t I grow faster? What a damned feeling to be played by a woman!”

All of a sudden, ‘Death’ seemed to be stunned and his lips curved, the smile on his face bloomed like a lotus. “But, being an idol? It seems… like a good game, and should be slightly challenging right? And there is a woman who is sexy enough to make my small body have a reaction. Tsk, tsk, it’s really a good trophy.”

…

Early in the morning, Tang Xiaoxiao was still sleeping in bed when her cell phone suddenly rang. Because of her previous occupational habit, her cell phone was never turned off. She answered the phone groggily but heard harsh and angry abuse from the other end of the line. “Tang Xiaoxiao, you slut! How dare you stab me in the back! I want you to die terribly!”

Being scolded like that, Tang Xiaoxiao became awake and snapped back waspishly, “Who are you? Are you sick? Calling so early in the morning to curse me… Crazy!”

With that, she hung up the call.

Before she could go back to sleep, her phone rang again. Cao Hao’s hearty laughter sounded from the other end of the line. “Xiaoxiao, have you gotten out of bed yet? Have you read today’s newspaper? Haha… Yang Shan’s ungrateful ways have been dug out by the media. Up to now, there are voices criticizing her all over the world.”

Tang Xiaoxiao mumbled a reply and hung up the call again.

The phone continued to ring. This time, it was Liu Cheng, the assistant of the production team. His tone sounded like he had vented out his anger. “I just can’t stand that pretentious appearance of that Yang Shan. I really don’t know what the director saw in her at first. Now, she had just become popular and this incident was exposed. These reporters really have some skills to not get caught when they were taking pictures backstage during the premiere.”

Tang Xiaoxiao answered more than ten phone calls the whole morning. There were greetings from the crew and consultation from Shengshi Entertainment regarding this matter. Of course, everyone tried to probe and find out more insider information.

God, couldn’t they just let her sleep?! Tang Xiaoxiao was annoyed by the phone calls. She turned off her phone, covered her head and fell asleep again.

It was only after 10 in the morning that she finally woke up. After washing up, she changed into a pair of jeans and a T-shirt before going downstairs in her slippers. Only the younger ones were at home. As for her stepmother… She often stayed out for the night and her family was used to it already.

When she went downstairs, Tang Jingchen was sitting on the sofa reading the financial newspaper. Seeing that Xiaoxiao was awake, he could not help showing a gentle smile. “Xiaoxiao, you’re up?”

“Mm.” Tang Xiaoxiao hummed in reply and glanced at Tang Jingchen’s loungewear. “Brother, why didn’t you go to the company with Dad?”

Tang Jingchen shrugged. “Did you forget? Dad said that you are to be in charge of me. If I don’t become a big star, he won’t acknowledge me as his son.”

Erm… Tang Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue. It turned out that she was the culprit who caused her brother to be unable to go work. Oops?

“By the way, where’s Mu Li?” Tang Xiaoxiao glanced around the living room. “Is he still asleep?”

“Do you think everyone sleeps in like you do?” Tang Jingchen tapped Tang Xiaoxiao’s nose. “He was up early and after breakfast, he went back to his room. He should be doing his own things.”
