You said... Mother hasn't been acting quite well lately?

Lu Gui didn't expect that Lu Xiaoyao, who had been live-streaming from her room every day recently, would still be able to notice their mother.

Seeing her older brother's suspicious look, Lu Xiaoyao got angry and put her hands on her hips, saying, "What's wrong?! Even if I stream myself playing games every day, it doesn't stop me from noticing that something's wrong with Mother, does it?"

"How is it wrong?"

"Recently, she hasn't let the little robot deliver milk or juice to me anymore. It's like she's very busy and has neglected me."

Lu Gui: "..."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't look so speechless! I'm different from you. I accept all the food and drinks my mother gives me; she brings them to me every day."

Unlike you, it's normal that your robot butler doesn't bring you food every time you ask her to deliver it. But it's different for me!

Lu Xiaoyao wasn't just showing off to her older brother; she had seriously analyzed the facts.

“She’s been going out a lot lately. I asked the Sen family next door, but Aunt Mary didn’t say that my mother has been looking for her recently.” As Lu Xiaoyao spoke, she glanced at Lu Gui, whose face was gradually darkening, and then added, “Don’t be angry yet, let’s take it slow…”

"Slowly? School starts in a few days, and then it will only be Grandpa and her at home. What if she's stupid and can't think straight and does something that hurts Grandpa?"

Lu Gui chuckled lightly, then turned to ask her, "Before, we survived purely by luck. But luck doesn't always smile upon our family, you know?"
