Chapter 173 An Acquaintance Arrives



In addition to their own portions, they even brought out a portion for the little panda assistant.

Several people were enjoying a family bucket of food when a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door.

"Son! Look! There's a villa here!"

A strong, middle-aged woman's voice came from outside the door.

Xiao Yu and Zhang Xiaojuan were the fastest to react and rushed out immediately.

Outside the safe zone, about a dozen people stood gazing at the villa with fervent expressions in their eyes.

As Lu Sheng slowly walked out the door, sipping her straw, she saw the group rushing towards the safe zone like madmen, only to be kept out by an invisible barrier.

"Damn it, why can't I get in? I wonder what kind of weird ability this is."

The middle-aged man at the head of the crowd muttered a curse under his breath, but still wore a fake smile as he greeted them in a seemingly friendly manner, "Hey buddy! Can you open the door? We're just passing by and wanted to ask for a drink of water!"

Lu Sheng took a sip of her ice-cold cola and narrowed her eyes as she sized up the man who had spoken.

After her five senses were enhanced by the system, her hearing became extremely acute, and she heard every single word of the man's low curses.

"Woof! Woof woof!"

Seeing a large group of strangers suddenly appear outside the door, Rocket immediately rushed to the door and shouted twice at the crowd.

It was still holding a half-eaten piece of original recipe chicken in its mouth, reluctant to let go, and it was drooling as it chirped.

While the safe zone can prevent outsiders from entering, it can't stop the delicious smell of fried chicken from wafting out.

The group of ragged passersby, drawn by the irresistible aroma, were so hungry they almost swallowed their tongues.

If it weren't for the protective shield, they would have snatched the food from the dog's mouth right away!

"Young man, please have mercy and open the door to let us in, okay? My old bones are too weak to walk any further."

The middle-aged woman, who had just been speaking loudly, suddenly hunched over, tugged at her bundle, and pleaded pitifully.

"Brother, my mom is getting old and her health isn't what it used to be. We all have parents at home, so could you please give her some water?"

"It's nothing for us young people to suffer a little, but it breaks our hearts to see the elderly suffer!"

The middle-aged man at the head of the group squeezed out two tears.

Have you no shame?

Zhang Xiaojuan threw the chicken bone at the man, saying, "If you're so filial, why do you let your mother carry the luggage? Don't you have hands? Are you brain-damaged or paralyzed in your hands?"

As soon as he finished speaking, even the group of people outside the door couldn't help but chuckle.

The man was empty-handed, but the old woman was carrying three or four bags on her back, so heavy that she couldn't straighten her back.

"It was my own idea! My son is so filial!"

A woman in her fifties carrying a bag rushed out to defend her son, saying, "Don't gossip!"

Lu Sheng initially thought the two people looked familiar, but it wasn't until she heard the phrase "My son is so filial" that she finally recognized them.

Aren't these her aunt Xu Chunhua and cousin Zhao Yong, whom she hadn't contacted for two or three years?

Lu Sheng's parents died early, and her aunt's family set their sights on her, this helpless little girl.

First, they found various excuses to rob Lu Sheng of all the valuables left by her parents, and then they even set their sights on her only house.

When Lu Sheng was in high school, he tried every means to cheat people out of the property. On two occasions, he even hired a shady locksmith company to change the locks on the old house.

The worst thing was that on the day of the college entrance examination, they blocked Lu Sheng's door demanding a house, almost causing her to miss the exam.

At that time, Lu Sheng was still a timid and insecure little girl who had no power to resist and could only hide at the door and wipe her tears.

In the end, it was Lu Sheng's maternal grandfather who stepped in, gave the family a severe beating with a belt, and personally escorted Lu Sheng to the examination hall before stopping.

She hadn't seen them for several years, and the family had been so badly ravaged by the natural disaster that they were almost unrecognizable, which is why she didn't recognize them.

"Since he's so filial, let him go get you some water and stop barking like a dog in front of my door."

Lu Sheng glanced at Xu Chunhua with a cold gaze.

Xu Chunhua squinted and glanced at him several times, then threw down her luggage. "Lu Sheng?! Lu Sheng, open the door right now! If I had known it was you, you brat, I wouldn't have wasted all this time!"

"Open the door now! Don't you have any manners? Don't you know how to greet people?"

Knowing that the person inside was Lu Sheng, Zhao Yong suddenly felt more confident and swung his fist twice at the invisible barrier.

"A person who's about to die, why would they need to say hello?" Lu Sheng sneered.

"You fucking want to die? Cursing me to die in broad daylight? You little bitch! Just as cheap as your short-lived mother! Get out here!" Xu Chunhua was so angry that her face turned red and her neck bulged. She bared her teeth and claws, trying to pounce on him.

Lu Sheng stared at Xu Chunhua's neck.

As Xu Chunhua shouted emotionally, a bulge the size of an edamame rolled up and down her throat.

"Cough cough."

Xu Chunhua also felt a little uncomfortable, and covered her neck angrily, cursing, "Why does this little bitch get to live in such a nice house!"

"Nothing special, just lucky. Aren't you angry?"

Lu Sheng took a sip of cola with a smile.
