Chapter 145: The Wager
“But guess who I heard about at school today?” Shen Nan pretended to be mysterious as he approached Shen Yu and Emily. Then, he casually placed his glass of water on Emily’s bedside table and raised his eyebrows slightly. It was as if Emily and Shen Yu could not guess who he was talking about.
Shen Yu turned a page of the magazine in his hand with an indifferent expression. He did not even raise his eyebrows, as if he was not interested in the topic Shen Nan was talking about. On the contrary, Emily was the one who cooperated with Shen Nan by rolling her eyes. She asked uncertainly, “Is it about Qu Li?”
When Emily’s words came out, Shen Nan’s face stiffened. “How did you know? How did you guess correctly?” Shen Nan asked.
“I’m smart. Grandpa said that I’m the smartest child in the Shen family apart from Brother.” Emily raised her chin slightly and said it with great pride. This actually provoked Shen Nan.
“So what if you’re smart? You’re still the youngest.”
“Shen Nan, what are you talking about?” Emily completely ignored Shen Nan’s provocation and looked at Shen Nan innocently. “Grandpa said that I’m only young, but my IQ is very high. But, Brother, What’s my IQ?”
The last sentence was naturally directed at Shen Yu. Shen Yu was still thinking about how to answer Emily’s question when he heard Shen Nan laugh out loud. “Idiot, you don’t even know what IQ is, and you still say that you’re smart?”
Emily crossed her arms and snorted softly. “Anyway, Grandpa said that I’m smarter than you, so Grandpa must be right. Look, I didn’t immediately guess that you were talking about Qu Li’s news? This means that I’m smarter than you.”
Shen Nan narrowed his eyes with a hint of threat. “Do you still want to know about Qu Li’s news?”
“I don’t want to know. Anyway, Qu Li’s news has nothing to do with me.” After saying that, Emily did not intend to bother with Shen Nan anymore. She held onto Shen Yu’s cell phone and started watching cartoons, laughing from time to time.
Shen Nan had a playful personality. Seeing that Emily was not cooperating with him, he was instantly depressed. Even if Emily didn’t want to know, he would still let Emily know. However, Shen Nan did not notice that Emily, who had her head lowered, had a sly smile on the corner of her mouth.
“I heard at school today that Qu Li was expelled. This morning, she was sent to the Public Security Bureau. Moreover, when she went to the Public Security Bureau, she seemed to have gone crazy. She even said that she was wrong. Moreover, some classmates saw it and said that Qu Li was like a madman.”
When Emily heard what Shen Nan said, she laughed out loud. “Brother, I told you that Sixth Brother was an idiot. I won, Brother. Quick, give me the money.”
Emily spread her hands to Shen Yu. Shen Yu smiled and very consciously took out ten yuan from his bag and handed it to Emily. He reached out and pinched Emily’s nose, “Alright, you’ve been watching cartoons for almost an hour. It’s time for you to rest your eyes.”
Emily obediently passed the phone to Shen Yu. She smiled even more happily when she saw Shen Nan’s confused expression. “Sixth Brother, I know what you’re talking about. Big Brother called me and Brother early in the morning to tell us about it.”
“So, the two of you were betting on me just now?” Shen Nan looked at Emily in disbelief. Was this still the innocent little cutie who had just arrived at his house?
“I bet with Brother that you won’t be able to hold back and say it out loud. Hehe, I won.” Emily waved the ten yuan in her hand at Shen Nan. She was showing off even more. This was the first sum of money that she had earned.
Shen Nan covered his heart and put on an injured expression. “No, I feel like I’m going to die of sadness. Unless you give me some of the money in your hand.”
Hearing Shen Nan’s words, Emily hurriedly passed the money in her hand to Shen Yu. “Brother, I’m too young. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to take care of this money. Help me take care of it. You can give it to me when I need it.”
Shen Nan was even sadder when he saw Emily’s thief-like behavior. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not produce any fake tears. He was so worried that he was going to die.
“Alright, stop fooling around. Xiao Nan, obediently do your homework.” Shen Yu was very helpless when he saw the two people who kept fooling around. He quickly diverted their attention. Otherwise, they would not be able to calm down if this went on.
Just as Shen Yu finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. A nurse came in with a plate. “Little friend Emily, we need to change the dressing.”
“Sister nurse, I don’t want an injection. The injection hurts.” Emily hurriedly pulled up the blanket and covered her own blanket tightly. This way, the nurse would not be able to see her.
“Emily, be good. You don’t have to get an injection. Sister is only changing the dressing on your finger. That way, your finger will recover faster.” The nurse who came in was very gentle. After all, she could not be fierce when she saw such a cute child.
After hearing the nurse’s words, Emily untied the quilt and confirmed with her once again. “Really? You can’t lie. Lying will make you ugly.”
