Chapter 1132: What Are You Hiding?
Editor: Henyee Translations
President Xu smiled and said, “You will be the only little princess of Liyi Company from now on.”
Shen Qin agreed to the adoption, but her brother, Shen Ran, did not. Although he was her brother, he wasn’t her guardian. As long as Shen Qin and President Xu were on board, no one could stop them.
President Xu smiled at Shen Qin. “Qinqin, the director and I will handle the adoption procedures. You should head back, pack your things, and say goodbye to your brother and friends. I’ll take you home later.”
Shen Qin nodded and walked toward the orphanage dormitory, with Shen Ran, Gu Yang, and the others following her.
“Shen Qin, why are you doing this? Aren’t we happy here in the orphanage? I’m already an eSports god, and we don’t lack money. Why leave with President Xu?” Shen Ran grabbed her hand tightly.
Tears streamed down Shen Qin’s face as she lowered her head. “I told you, I want my parents.”@@novelbin@@
Shen Ran frowned. “Even though Mom and Dad aren’t around, I’m still your family. We have great teammates like Yangyang.”
Shen Qin shook her head. “He’s your teammate, not mine. You all play games together. I can’t help you with that. I can’t let you train without distractions.”
“Brother, I’ve always respected your choices. You’ve never liked studying and love playing games and eSports. Mom didn’t approve, but I helped you persuade her.”
“I hope you compete well and win the world championship. But I also hope you can respect my choice.”
“Mr. Xu comes from a wealthy family and has no children. If I become his daughter, I’ll be part of a rich family, and entering their circle would make my future path easier.”
“I don’t have much ability, and I don’t want to always rely on you. I want to hold on to this hard-won opportunity.”
Shen Ran held her hand tightly, his eyes red with emotion. “Sister, I was wrong. I admit I’ve been so focused on competing these past two years that I neglected you and your feelings.”
“Please don’t go. I’ll change. Once the international eSports competition is over, I promise to spend more time with you and never leave you alone in the orphanage again, okay?”
“It’s true we’re not rich now, but give me some time. I’ll work hard to create a better life for us and make you part of a wealthy family.”
“Brother, I don’t want to wait.” Shen Qin shook her head and pulled her hand away from his grip.
“If you really dare to pack your things and leave with President Xu, then you won’t be my sister anymore!” Shen Ran stood in the stairwell, anger flaring in his voice.
Shen Qin paused but continued up the stairs without looking back.
Gu Yang followed closely behind her. As she began to pack, she frowned. “Shen Qin, why did you agree to leave with President Xu?”
Shen Qin took a moment before replying, “Didn’t I just say that I want to live a good life?”
Gu Yang frowned. “Just because I can’t see your expression doesn’t mean I won’t know if you’re lying.”
Shen Qin insisted, “I’m not lying. I’m telling the truth. I know all of you are powerful and will definitely thrive in the future, but I can’t. I don’t know anything.”
“When you were sparring, I felt exhausted just watching. You all fought together in eSports. You were the main force of Team Blue Whale, while I was just a behind-the-scenes strategist. I was nothing.”
“Yangyang, I know you can do anything, but I’m just an ordinary person. You can’t understand my powerlessness.”
Gu Yang sensed that most of what Shen Qin said was true, but…
“Shen Qin, you’ve always been a quick learner. I once said that the most brilliant lie is 70% true and 30% false. What are you hiding?”
She stepped closer and grabbed Shen Qin’s hand, forcing her to turn around.
Shen Qin’s face was streaked with tears.
