Chapter 623 Let It Accompany You
Du Siyuan's words were like a bomb, exploding in the hearts of Du Sining and her husband.
"A tea pet? It's actually that tea pet?"
Du Sining looked dazed, then said with annoyance, "No wonder, no wonder... I was wondering why Dad's illness was getting worse and worse. He was seeing doctors and taking medicine, but how could a little flu inexplicably turn into a serious case of organ failure? It turns out... it turns out this wasn't an illness at all."
Fu Shoushan felt heartbroken seeing his wife like this, and said angrily, "I've seen that tea pet before. It's exquisite and small, like a work of art. I never imagined it would be such a harmful thing. Miss Ye, since my father-in-law is like this because of that tea pet, wouldn't destroying it cure him?"
His reminder made the Du siblings' eyes light up, and they looked at Ye Wanxi with anticipation.
Ye Wanxi did not answer their question directly, but instead held up the bundle of yin energy that was bound hand and foot: "We really need to get rid of that tea pet in your house as soon as possible. It's a spirit that's been entangled with your father, absorbing his life force and luck, and it's almost fully formed."
"It is not easy for evil energy to become spirit, especially when it can split into two halves, with one half leaving the mother body and attaching itself to another host in order to better seize the host's luck and life force."
Ye Wanxi's eyes narrowed slightly: "This means that your tea pet is much more difficult to deal with than theirs. It's probably only one step away from becoming a spirit. If you don't get rid of it soon, the thing inside might come out and cause trouble for even more people."
Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's words, Du Sining and the others' expressions changed drastically, because they remembered that besides the nanny, their four-year-old daughter was also at home!
"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao is still at home!" Du Sining almost went crazy on the spot. The thought of her young daughter living under the same roof with a harmful creature made her unable to calm down.
"Sis, don't worry, I'll go back and bring that harmful trash and Jiaojiao over right away."
Du Sining and the others originally considered that the old man's situation was not optimistic and that the child was too young to be brought over, so they left the child at home to be taken care of by a nanny.
Who would have thought that the place they thought was the safest was hiding such a source of trouble?
Du Siyuan turned to run back, but Ye Wanxi called out to him, "Wait."
"Miss Ye?"
"The tea pet industry has become quite established; you might not be able to handle it if you go back alone."
Du Siyuan was slightly taken aback, thinking that Ye Wanxi meant she intended to go back with him, but he didn't expect...
"Let it go with you."
Before he could finish speaking, a plump... big white rabbit was stuffed into his arms?
The man and the rabbit stared at each other, when suddenly the rabbit bristled and bared its teeth warily at Du Siyuan.
Du Siyuan was startled, instinctively feeling that this cute little thing was most likely not an ordinary white rabbit, but a fierce steel-toothed rabbit!
"Miss Ye, it...I..."
Seeing this, Ye Wanxi thought he was worried that the little rabbit was too weak to protect him.
"Don't let its cuteness fool you, it's no ordinary rabbit; it's more than capable of protecting you."
As if wanting to verify the truth of Ye Wanxi's words, the little rabbit bared its teeth at Du Siyuan again.
Du Siyuan: "..." No, no, no, I have no doubt about its fighting ability, I'm just afraid it will bite me! QAQ
After comforting Du Siyuan, Ye Wanxi turned to the little rabbit and said, "Be a good girl and go with him. When we get back, I'll give you this to eat. Otherwise, I'll take it back to Tantou."
When the little rabbit heard that it would be waiting there for so long and that the ugly dog might steal its spoils, it was both angry and anxious. In the end, it had no choice but to reluctantly accompany Du Siyuan away.
Du Sining and the other woman wanted to go with him, but the old man still needed someone to take care of him, and the Li family members were still around. It wouldn't be good for them to all run away and leave the old man to stare at each other helplessly.
Fortunately, no sooner had the person and the rabbit left than Ye Wanxi started talking about their family's situation.
"This tea pet's purpose is to absorb the luck and vitality of its target. Your father and Mr. Li are both its targets, but because you are a family and live together, you are quite close, and your luck influences each other. Besides your father, have you also encountered a lot of trouble recently?"
Du Sining and the other woman's expressions changed slightly, clearly indicating that what was said had come true.
“Our family has indeed encountered a lot of messy things recently. It started with Siyuan. He twisted his arm while playing basketball, and unfortunately it was on his right wrist. The doctor said he couldn’t do strenuous activities for a while, which almost made him miss a very important competition exam.”
"Then there's me. My daughter just started kindergarten, and on her first day, I happened to witness two parents getting into a fight at school for some unknown reason. I was just passing by with my child and got caught up in it without even realizing it, and I got a little injured."
Du Sining paused, a hint of lingering fear in her voice, and continued, "The worst incident happened a few days ago when our new store opened. It was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but then a stampede occurred on opening day, and Ashan almost..."
Fu Shoushan noticed his wife's unusual mood and quickly went over to hug her, whispering a few words of comfort.
The Du family is in the catering business, with chain stores all over the country.
Du Si Ning's husband, Fu Shou Shan, was originally an apprentice in the shop. Due to his outstanding talent in cooking and his down-to-earth and hardworking character, he was favored by Old Master Du.
It was through his deliberate matchmaking that Du Sining and her husband got married.
Du Yuanshan wasn't particularly interested in the family business, so after the two got married, the old man handed over the family's restaurant chain to the young couple to manage.
Two days before the old man's accident, another branch of the Du family restaurant opened, and Fu Shoushan personally attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Unexpectedly, a new store next door also opened, and they even had a particularly big opening promotion, as if they wanted to compete with them.
Who would have thought that instead of a fight, a stampede would occur because of the large number of people gathered.
Fu Shoushan was at the scene of the stampede. During the scuffle, he was knocked down by someone and stepped on several times.
If it weren't for a few tall and strong guests nearby who noticed him and rushed over to pull him out, he probably wouldn't be here by now.
After listening to Du Sining's words, Ye Wanxi roughly pieced together their family's situation.
Both the Li and Du families' tea pets were intended for two elders in their respective households.
However, unlike the Du family, the Li family, after failing to harm their father, turned to his two children to take action and influence him in return.
As for the Du family, Old Master Du was the first to run into trouble because he brewed tea so frequently. However, the matter was relatively minor at first, and no one paid much attention to it.
