chapter 4 Come to Lila Bowl

By the riverbank.
Lila Qin stumbled but quickly regained her balance.
"That was close," she said, wiping away sweat and counting her achievements with satisfaction.
"Little Sistem, hurry up and reward me. I want to use this skill to save Mommy~"
[Mission completed.]
[Reward distribution in progress.]
[Miraculous Recovery skill activation in progress.]
[Miraculous Recovery skill activated, currently at level one. Keep it up, Host!]
"Only level one?"
Lila Qin, the little troublemaker who had been causing trouble in the Taoist temple for four years, was not happy. "Wasn't it supposed to be very difficult to deal with?"
Suddenly, her body lifted into the air and then landed in warm arms.
"Wow!"
No one even cared about the money sword in her hand falling off.
Lila Qin buried her round head in the person's embrace. After a while, she lifted her head, her grape-like eyes spinning. "Big brother?"
Peter Qin clenched his lips tightly, glaring at her fiercely.
"You think you're invincible, don't you? Playing by the riverbank? Who taught you that?" he scolded.
Lila Qin pouted. "I came here to do something important."
"Humph," Peter Qin chuckled. "Does a four-year-old know what's important?"
Before Lila Qin was unconvinced, the Divine Calculation System chimed in.
[Divine Calculation System: Host is the most talented person I've ever seen!]
Lila Qin paid no attention to Little Sistem. Despite her young age, she was sharp and clever, which made her the little boss of the Clearwater Temple.
Seeing Peter Qin's unpleasant expression, she felt even more delighted. "Big brother, you actually like Lila, don't you?"
"Brother, you actually like Lila very much, don't you?"
There was nothing happier than having your family like you. Lila Qin immediately leaned in and pecked Peter Qin on the cheek. "Lila likes you too~"
Peter Qin froze in place.
"Why aren't you saying anything, big brother?"
Peter Qin put her down and walked away with a sour expression.
As he passed the driver, who hadn't realized what was happening, he scolded him without hesitation.
"She's rude and uncultured. Are you too?"
The driver, slow to catch on, had been initially deceived by Lila Qin's impressive abilities and maturity. Moreover, the grief of losing his daughter without reincarnation had clouded his judgment.
Lila Qin realized she was in trouble and immediately ran over to Peter Qin, clinging to his leg without hesitation. "Big brother, don't blame Uncle, it was Lila who asked him to bring Lila here. If you want to scold someone, scold Lila!"
Peter Qin really wanted to scold her, especially since he didn't like this little sister. However, the education of a young master from the Qin family stopped him from doing so.
He glanced down and saw Lila Qin still clinging to his leg. With a look of disgust, he grumbled, "Let go of my leg and stay away from me!"
Without waiting for Lila Qin to react, he forcefully pulled her hand away and walked away.
"Hey, big brother, where are you going?"
"Big brother, wait for Lila!"
"Big brother, Lila really likes you, don't be shy!"
On the riverbank, a group of people were dumbfounded.
First, they saw Peter Qin, who was usually serious and rarely smiled, running down the hill with an unpleasant expression. He picked up a little girl by the river, then put her down and walked away quickly.
Now, they witnessed a three-head-tall little girl stumbling after Peter Qin, refusing to let him go. Peter Qin, on the other hand, looked like he was trying to escape.
Several people rubbed their eyes in disbelief. "Is that really Mr. Qin?"
Peter Qin was now the CEO of the Qin Group. He was young but had high seniority and was the legitimate heir. Countless people had tried to get on his good side, but none had succeeded.
Seeing Peter Qin interacting with a little girl, they suddenly had different thoughts in mind.
"Who is that little girl?"
As they got closer, they heard Lila Qin calling out with a babyish tone, "Big brother, don't run away~ Lila really likes you~"
Several people were puzzled, "Mr. Qin has a younger sister?"
The CEO surnamed Tian, who was present and knew some things about the Qin family, said in a meaningful tone, "He does have a sister. I heard that the young lady was supposed to be brought back today."
More people started to have different thoughts.
However, Mr. Tian continued with a smile, "But from what I know, Mr. Qin despises this sister of his the most."
Many found it hard to believe.
"If he dislikes her so much, why would he rush to save her?"
With a thud, Lila Qin fell down.
Although it didn't hurt much as she landed on soft grass, the clever little girl intentionally shouted loudly, "Ah, Lila fell down! Lila needs big brother's help!"
Peter Qin paused in his steps. He didn't care about this little sister, but he didn't want his mother to see a sad expression on her face if the girl got hurt. However, when he turned to look and saw Lila Qin's expression, he became even angrier and walked away quickly.
A few people at a distance exchanged glances.
"It seems that Mr. Qin really does dislike his sister."
Humans love gossip, especially in high-society circles. On that evening, the news that the Qin family's young miss was returning home and the fact that she was not liked by the Qin family members spread like wildfire.
Lila Qin wasn't bothered that she couldn't keep Peter Qin with her. She simply sat on the ground, stroking her chin. "Little Sistem, tell me, does big brother really like me or not?"
[Divine Calculation System: Human emotions are so complicated; how would I know?]
Lila Qin pursed her lips in thought and decided to continue testing him.
After all, if her big brother didn't like her, she wouldn't like him either!
The driver nearby received the signal from the young master and nervously approached to take Lila Qin home.
However, when they reached the car, another driver was already waiting there.
The new driver smiled at the driver Gao, "Mr. Qin asked me to come over. You can sit in the passenger seat."
Feeling a lack of trust, the driver Gao didn't dare to complain.
The ride home was silent.
When they arrived home, Lila Qin, still holding her money sword, ran back to her room, oblivious to the fact that the driver who had brought her back was speaking to the butler in private.
In her room, after washing her little hands, Lila Qin spoke in her sweet, childlike voice to the empty air, "Little Sistem, how many levels does the Miraculous Recovery skill need to be to save Mommy?"
[Divine Calculation System: It depends on the specific situation. Your mother has been bedridden for over four years, so I guess at least level ten.]
The adorable little one immediately started counting with her chubby little fingers. "So, I need to catch ten more ghosts, right? Ghosties, ghosties, where are you? Come into Lila's bowl~"
In the evening, it was the butler himself who came to call Lila Qin downstairs for dinner.
Among all the servants, only the butler's attitude was kind.
Lila Qin didn't hold back and flashed a big smile at the butler.
"Thank you Mr. Butler~"
At that moment, the butler felt his heart was about to melt.
He had seen the little miss when she was barely half a year old, frail and ailing, hardly crying but always whimpering, on the verge of death at any moment. Who would have thought that four years later, the little miss would become so adorable?
"This is what I should do."
The butler led Lila Qin to the dining room.
Lila Qin's round face lit up several times, her big eyes blinking rapidly. "Will big brother eat with Lila?"
"The eldest young master is very busy."
"What about the other brothers?"
"Uh, they're busy too."
Lila Qin didn't ask about her grandmother or her daddy. Her master had told her that it was her grandmother and daddy who had sent her to the Taoist temple, and anyone who sent her away didn't like her!
If people didn't like Lila, then Lila wouldn't like them either! Hmph!
The adorable little one huffed and walked even more unsteadily, refusing the butler's offer to carry her.
However, compared to the butler's kind attitude, the attitude of the other people in the villa was not good at all.
When they brought Lila Qin to the dining room, the butler discovered that the kitchen had prepared a very perfunctory meal when they learned that only the little miss would be dining tonight.
There was a bowl of watery noodle soup with a few strands of bok choy floating on top.
The butler's expression changed instantly.
