After a one-night stand, human Jian Luo discovered she was pregnant, and the child she was carrying might not even be human...
In Star Year 25, all of humanity migrated to Dark Star, living i...
Jian Luo frowned and walked over. When he came over, the parent was still talking non-stop, so Jian Luo had to remind him: "Sir, loud noises are not allowed in school. If you have anything to say, please pay attention to the decibel level, okay?"
The parent was startled, turned his head away, glanced at Jian Luo, and found that he was also a human. He sneered: "Who the hell are you?"
Jian Sheng saw Jian behind him and rushed over: “Brother!”
Jian Luo quickly took two steps back to prevent her brother from touching her, and begged for mercy: "Hey, hey, hey, don't pounce, don't pounce."
Jian Sheng quickly stopped.
The weather was hot at the moment, so Jian Luo wore a simple T-shirt, which made his belly look slightly bulging. However, his limbs were slender, so it looked very strange. However, he was smart enough to choose a large-sized T-shirt, which was very loose and baggy, so it was not very noticeable for the time being.
"I'm his parent." Jian Luo raised his head and looked at the man: "Did you just say that my brother soiled your clothes?"
The man looked Jian Luo up and down and was surprised to find that this human was really dressed in designer clothes, and they were limited editions with great value, the kind that only wealthy and powerful upper-class aristocrats could afford.
but--
He is a human being.
"I can't believe people these days are so obsessed with fashion." The man scoffed, unable to conceal his disdain. "They all want to wear trendy brands so badly. What a shame! Things that look fake won't last long."
Jian Luo understood and raised his eyebrows: "Even the real thing needs eyes that can see through it. Some people can really see the fakes, and they also take the fakes as real. They are even more pitiful."
…
The man's face changed, his tone became unfriendly, and he took a step forward aggressively, almost pointing at Jian Luo's nose: "What are you talking about!"
Of course Jian Luo would not be afraid of him. After all, he had even seen Lu Shifeng's ferocious look. How could he be frightened by such a person now?
But he wasn't alone anymore, he had a baby in his belly. Although Brother Long said there would be someone to protect him, Jian Luo wouldn't joke about the baby's safety. Thinking of this, he said to Jian Sheng, "Tell your brother, did you really mess up his clothes?"
Jian Sheng stood beside Jian Luo and quickly said, "Brother, I didn't mean to do that. I just knew you and Mom were coming, so I rushed over to pick you up. I was in a hurry and he just happened to turn the corner and bumped into me. I wasn't paying attention and bumped into him."
Jian Luo frowned: "Bump into it?"
A lot of drinks were spilled on the man's clothes.
"The drink isn't mine," Jian Sheng said quickly, his eyes red. "That old man took it himself, and I bumped into him, causing it to spill."
So that's how it is.
Jian Luo finally understood what was going on.
"What do you mean?" The man was unhappy. "Do you think I'm going to blackmail you? My clothes are so expensive, do I have to wait for you to bump into me with a glass of water? What a joke, blackmailing a human being!"
Because they were making quite a lot of noise, parents and students passing by looked over and gathered around. He deliberately raised his voice and emphasized the word "human".
Jian Luo frowned, feeling uncomfortable in his heart. He had been working before and was surrounded by highly educated people. Although he could also feel the discrimination and contempt against humans, he had never faced it so directly.
But now it's different, absolutely different. He once again felt the discrimination so directly, and it was so intuitive.
Jian Luo decided to suppress his temper: "How much is your clothes? I will compensate you."
"I told you I don't want any money, don't you understand?" The man put his hands on his waist and said, "This is a limited edition. Unless you compensate me with an identical one, I will definitely report you to the school leaders."
He seemed to be certain that Jian Luo would beg for mercy.
Jian Sheng couldn't stand it any longer and said angrily, "Why are you doing this? You said it was a limited edition. Where can we find another one for you?"
"Hey." The man said in a bad tone: "You got my clothes dirty and you're right?"
Standing not far from Jian Sheng was a little girl, about his age, the man's daughter. She glanced at Jian Sheng and said, "Squad Leader, don't you always talk about fairness and justice? Well, you soiled my father's clothes, so out of fairness, you should also compensate him."
Jian Luo looked down at his brother in surprise. He didn't even know that his younger brother had become the class monitor. Mainly because the kid didn't tell him when he got home!
Jian Sheng's pretty face puffed up: "Qi Yue, please discuss it with your uncle. I really didn't mean it."
"Didn't I tell you what we were discussing?" The man was unhappy: "Why don't you understand me? If you can't afford the compensation, then don't come to school here. Otherwise, you are so reckless every day. You are really uneducated."
This clearly shows a posture of not wanting to settle the matter peacefully.
Jian Luo frowned. If he had wanted to settle the matter before, he couldn't do that now. He took a step forward and asked, "Limited edition clothes?"
The man choked, somewhat intimidated by Jian Luo's aura.
Jian Luo looked at him seriously and said word by word, "If I find you another one, you must also apologize for your rude attitude today."
The man was stunned for a moment, then as if he had heard a huge joke, he said: "What are you doing? Fine, if you can really get it for me, I can apologize."
Anyway, this is impossible.
As far as he knew, the only person who owned this dress besides him was the richest man Nie Yan, Lord Nie.
These two pieces of clothing originally belonged to him, but because of business dealings, he gave one of them to Mr. Nie as a gift, so it can almost be said to be out of print, and Jian Luo will definitely not be able to get it again.
Jian Luo nodded: "Okay, wait a moment."
He comforted Jian Sheng, patted his shoulder, and said to him in a low voice: "Wait here."
Jian Sheng held his hand, his voice filled with worry: "Brother..."
Jian Luo knew what the child was thinking without having to guess. Sometimes he felt that being too sensible was actually a kind of sadness. Children who cried and made noises mostly had enough love and freedom. Unfortunately, the environment in which humans lived was sad.
"It's okay." Jian Luo squatted down: "I know you didn't mean it."
Jian Sheng lowered his head and said nothing.
Jian Luo sighed inwardly, stood up and took the initiative to call Boss Nie. In fact, he rarely took the initiative to contact Boss Nie.
On the other side - a business meeting.
The tallest building on Dark Star exuded a golden and magnificent atmosphere of money and corruption. Nie Yan sat in the main seat of the conference room, and the managers of various branches in front of him were talking endlessly about the performance of this quarter.
suddenly--
Ding Dong.
The sound of a message broke the tranquility in the room. Nie Yan lowered his head to glance at the person who called and slowly raised his hand. With a gesture from the boss, the person who had been talking nonstop stopped talking, and everyone below fell silent as a chicken.
Nie Yan opened the communication and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
Jane was a little nervous when she landed on the other end: "Boss, did I disturb you?"
"Not bad." Nie Yan looked at the table of people in a meeting. "I'm in a meeting. Everyone at this table spends the whole day in meetings instead of working. Their time is worth about 10 million star coins. I hope your call to me is worth the same."
“…”
Jian Luo choked and had the urge to hang up the phone for a moment, but fortunately he was still rational and did not go crazy.
"Well, boss, I'm looking for you about something." Jian Luo said, "There's a brand of clothes. Do you remember it? It's that..."
Next, Jian Luo spent a full five minutes explaining the whole process. Nie Yan listened quietly during the whole process, and the business leaders at the conference table also listened to the little human's story just for a piece of fake brand from nowhere.
Finally, Jian Luo concluded: "That's it, if it's convenient for you, I would like to buy this dress from you."
Nie Yan was silent for a moment: "Is it just because of this?"
Jian Luo's heart was in suspense, and she couldn't help but feel a little panicked. She thought that although this matter was quite big for her, it might be very small for the big boss!
What a misstep...
What if the boss asks me to pay the 10 million later?
"S-sorry." Jian Luo wiped the sweat from his head and said, "I'm sorry to bother you with this matter. How about I contact your secretary?"
Because he is making a phone call here, but actually the people behind him are paying attention.
Especially the man who had been paying close attention to Jian Luo from the back. He sneered: "I told you not to waste your time. Do humans nowadays like to pretend to be rich?"
Jian Luo frowned.
Nie Yan, who was on the other end of the line, also heard what was going on. He tapped his fingertips and said, "I don't remember the dress you mentioned. So many people give me gifts every day, but none of them are worth me looking at one by one."
Jian Luo sighed inwardly: "It's okay, I'm sorry for disturbing you and wasting your time."
"Yeah." Nie Yan responded, then said, "However, since you've come to me and have already wasted my time, if I were to solve this problem, I wouldn't lose the value of the time I wasted."
“…”
So confusing.
Before Jian Luo could understand what he meant, Nie Yan said, "Go over there and give the communication to that person. I want to talk to him."
Jian Luo was stunned: "Do you want to tell him?"
"Yeah." Nie Yan didn't want to say more: "Hurry up, don't waste time."
“…”
You have a lot of money, so you are right.
Jian Luo turned around and met the man's smug gaze. He took a step forward and walked in front of him: "Communication, do you want to answer it?"
The man was stunned: "What communication?"
"It's Mr. Nie's call. I just discussed the situation with him. He said he wanted to talk to you." Jian Luo said politely, "Will you answer it?"
The man was stunned. He looked at Jian Luo in disbelief as if he had been struck by lightning: "Who are you talking about?"
