Chapter 189 [(*^▽^*)]
The three people following behind Xue Qian felt that what he was doing might be inappropriate, but they didn't know how to persuade him.
One of them said, "Young Master Xue, we'll head back to our lodgings for dinner now."
Xue Qian: "What? You think you won't get enough to eat if you follow me?"
"Of course not, it's just that we are not qualified to eat the same food as Young Master Xue. So we can just go back to eat there. The food there is quite to our liking."
Hearing this, Xue Qian was in a good mood. "Then go ahead, and remember to write this down as soon as you finish eating. I'm determined to get this task!"
"Okay, no problem!"
The three of them left the Lin residence. Now, only Xue Qian and Zhou Nanyue remain in the Lin residence, while Lin Leyou keeps an eye on them.
Xue Qian and Zhou Nanyue stood there watching the maid who came to deliver the message. The maid was young and had no idea what to do in this situation.
She stood there blankly, staring at the two of them, and then said softly, "Guests, the food delivered to your lodgings was specially prepared by the Lin family. It will surely suit your tastes."
Xue Qian was taken aback. He hadn't expected the maid to say that instead of going to find Master Lin to prepare food.
Just as he was about to lash out, Zhou Nanyue tugged at his sleeve and said, "Young Master Xue, we still need to complete our mission, and we can't afford to have a conflict with this Master Lin for the time being."
Xue Qian felt very aggrieved, but he had to admit that Zhou Nanyue was right. Moreover, he obviously knew the punishment for failing the mission. Although he had enough points to deduct now, he didn't know how difficult the next mission would be. If he failed again and his points went into the negative, wouldn't he be doomed?
Wouldn't Xue Rui then win without a fight and take everything that originally belonged to him?
That won't do!
He could tolerate everything else, but this was the one thing he absolutely could not accept. "Fine, let's go eat at our place then. Humph! I won't argue with you."
The maid breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they were really leaving. She really didn't know what to do if the two of them had stayed.
Lin Leyou watched them walk back, a cold smile twitching at the corner of his mouth. He first went to check on Lin Yangxu, who had finally gotten up to wash up in the middle of the night.
While the other person was changing clothes surrounded by maids, she also glanced at his body.
Ah! Enoki mushrooms!
Just as he was about to leave, Lin Yangxu suddenly said, "That's strange..."
Lin Leyou stopped after hearing this, wanting to hear what else he had to say, but at that moment Zhao Anxue arrived. She walked in from outside and, upon seeing Lin Yangxu, said, "Son..."
Lin Yangxu: "Mother, what brings you here?"
Zhao Anxue still looked a bit haggard, but it was daytime now, and basking in the sun, she felt much more at ease. As for what would happen at night, she would deal with it later.
Moreover, she had just learned from Lin Zhoushan that Lin Yang'an's body, which had been buried in the ancestral grave overnight, had disappeared. They had searched for a long time and in many places, but had not found it.
She's feeling very anxious right now.
"Son, I'm so scared!"
Lin Yangxu was probably quite comfortable being served by the woman last night, as he was now listless and not at all impatient. "What's wrong with Mother?"
Zhao Anxue: "You know what happened last night."
Lin Yangxu was stunned for a moment before he remembered that last night... it seemed like it was haunted?
He didn't know if others believed it or not, but he certainly didn't. "Mom, ghosts and gods are all fake. Don't scare yourself."
Zhao Anxue knew very well that she wasn't just scaring herself; it was all real. But now, apart from her, no one else had seen it. No matter what she said, no one would really believe her; they would just think it was an illusion.
If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. If she continues like this, others will easily see through her tricks. But Lin Yangxu didn't say anything. After all, the matter was already settled. Could his father kick his only son out if this matter were exposed?
Zhao Anxue, "But... Mother is just scared!"
Her gaze suddenly fell on the maidservant behind Lin Yangxu, and a question flashed into her mind: "Ah Xu, how many women are around you?"
Lin Yangxu didn't know why she changed the subject so quickly, but he still answered the question, "There are about seven or eight, what's wrong, Mother? Is there anything wrong with that?"
Zhao Anxue's face was extremely pale. She said to the maids inside the room, "You may all leave!"
"Yes, madam."
Soon, besides the mother and son, there was no one else in the room. Oh, right, there was also Lin Leyou floating around, openly eavesdropping.
Zhao Anxue lowered her voice and said, "Axu, you're nineteen now, and you've been back in the Lin family for two years. You've had so many maids in those two years, how come none of them have gotten pregnant?"
Lin Yangxu was initially quite lazy and indifferent, but when he heard Zhao Anxue say that, he paused for a moment before realizing the seriousness of the matter.
He used to think that having a woman in his arms was a great pleasure, but now that he thinks about it, it's true! Before returning to the Lin family mansion, he didn't have the money to enjoy women, but now he's been back for two years!
He's been spending a lot of time with the girls in the back courtyard these past two years, so why hasn't any of them gotten pregnant?
If one or two women are not pregnant, it could be their problem, but there are seven or eight! If none of the seven or eight are pregnant, is it their own problem?
He's very healthy, he's really very healthy, how could he possibly have such a problem!
He wanted to have a child right now if he could, but he wasn't a woman and couldn't have one himself. "Mother, what should I do?"
Zhao Anxue said, "Don't worry, your father shouldn't have found out yet. After this matter is over, I'll talk to your father and arrange a marriage for you. That can buy us some time."
"But you should still see a doctor. Try to bribe the doctor secretly so he can prescribe medicine to help you recover. Of course, it would be even better if there were no problems. Not having children might just be a coincidence."
Lin Yangxu nodded, "Mother is right. I've always been healthy and energetic, how could there be a problem? It must be a coincidence, or it's the women's problem, definitely not my problem."
Lin Leyou, listening from the side, was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected this to happen! Indeed, in this day and age, if a man is nineteen years old and still doesn't have children, there is definitely something wrong with him.
He suddenly felt a sense of schadenfreude, wondering when Lin Zhoushan would realize this problem, or whether Lin Zhoushan had already realized it but for some reason did not intend to deal with it now.
Forget it, none of this concerns him. He should think about how to kill the mother and child tonight; that's his mission.
After Xue Qian returned to his residence, he saw many other players eating there. Of course, some of them looked familiar, especially Xue Rui and his group.
When Xue Rui saw him, it was as if she had seen something dirty; she quickly and disgustedly looked away.
Xue Qian was about to lash out, but then he realized that now was not the time to lose his temper, and he couldn't beat him anyway; the men around him were obviously very powerful.
She has no resemblance to the person next to her named Zhou Nanyue.
But he still snorted coldly before walking inside, not wanting to lose face in front of Xue Rui. Zhou Nanyue's gaze also involuntarily fell on Zhou Feng.
This man is his father, but now he's ignoring his own son and standing next to someone else, looking like someone else's underling.
He had already heard from Xue Qian that the person Zhou Feng was with was Xue Rui, also a member of the Xue family, but the person in charge of the Xue family didn't like this son at all.
From now on, everything that Boss Xue owns will be left to this young master of the Xue family who is following me.
He chuckled softly as he passed Zhou Feng, giving him no glance whatsoever. Fang Hong and the others, however, heard Zhou Nanyue's sneer and were somewhat surprised.
Ding Baishuang glanced coldly at Zhou Nanyue's retreating figure, then looked away without speaking. Fang Hong's lips curled into a smirk, "Uncle Feng, is this really yours..."
Zhou Feng sighed, "It's the real deal. We did a paternity test because of his repeated gambling offenses."
Xue Rui paused for a moment, not expecting that a paternity test would be done. No father would doubt that his child is not his unless he was truly desperate.
The outcome may be good or not so good. It's unbelievable that a tough guy like Zhou Feng would raise a gambling son. This is something that no normal person could accept.
Xue Rui said, "Since you've decided to break up, don't pay attention to him anymore."
Fang Hong: "Yeah, look at him following that so-called young master of the Xue family, so arrogant. Maybe he can rise to prominence by following him?"
"After all, money talks. Having someone else help him clear the dungeon in the game, and then transferring the money back to them in the real world, isn't that much more convenient than exchanging points for cash?"
Zhou Feng said, "Speaking of which, although points can be exchanged for cash, having too much cash can sometimes be inconvenient when buying things."
Xue Rui: "Perhaps there will be improvements in the future, such as allowing points to be directly transferred to a bank account?"
Fang Hong said listlessly, "I'm really looking forward to it."
Xue Rui, "Have you finished eating?"
Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks; they were the first to return and, of course, the first to finish eating.
Now that they had finished eating, they naturally continued their search for the vengeful ghost at the Lin residence. Although Xue Rui knew about this, he couldn't say it directly.
On the way to the Lin residence, I discussed the information we had gathered with them. "Do you think this so-called vengeful ghost exists?"
Zhou Feng, "Does it not exist?"
Fang Hong said, "I think it's possible that it doesn't exist. Maybe the person who killed that young master has something to hide?"
Zhou Feng: "I don't think so. It's definitely a vengeful ghost that has returned for revenge."
Ding Baishuang: "There should be vengeful ghosts."
