Su Yunian laughed loudly: "Mom, you're exaggerating a bit. I am indeed drunk, but not that badly. But if I don't pretend, I'm afraid Lu Chi won't bring me back."
Xie Qing shook her head, raised her right hand, hooked her index finger and gently pinched Su Yunian's nose, then smiled and said:
"Given Lu Chi's character, he would have brought you back even if you weren't his fiancée. Now that you're his fiancée, he'll definitely treat you well."
Our family's circumstances are vastly different from theirs. Logically speaking, we are not a good match for them at all. Besides, your father and I are divorced, and there are a lot of problems at home.
He's handsome, capable, and the son of a billionaire. What kind of beautiful girl couldn't he have? But he didn't look down on our family and was willing to get engaged to you.
This shows he truly likes you, Nian'er. You should cherish a boy like him.
"Yes." Su Yunian nodded. "Mom, I know, I will definitely be good to him."
"Okay, it's late. Go wash up and go to bed, or you'll wake up tomorrow with huge dark circles under your eyes, looking like a panda."
Su Yunian imitated a giant panda, baring her teeth at her mother: "Awoo..."
Xie Qing was amused by her adorable appearance and couldn't help but shake her head, saying indulgently, "Oh, you little rascal!"
...
After leaving the Su family's house, Lu Chi asked his driver, Xiao Li, to take the car to the company so he could go back to sleep.
Unexpectedly, I encountered two "people" at the company entrance: one was Tang Xiaopiao, and the other was the female ghost Zhong Chuhong.
The two ghosts hid in the shadows not far away.
Several of his men stepped forward and asked, "Who's there?" in an attempt to protect Lu Chi.
Lu Chi said to the others, "You guys go upstairs and wait for me. I'll be up in a bit."
"Yes, young master!"
After his five men went upstairs, Lu Chi came to the two kids and asked them, "What brings you here, sneaking around like this?"
"Waaah~" Chung Chu-hung burst into tears, saying between sobs, "Young Master Lu, could I trouble you with something?"
Lu Chi frowned: "You're really troublesome! The curse in the department store has been lifted for you. You just need to find your enemy and take revenge. What else is there to do?"
Chung Chu-hung knelt down with a thud, crying, "Young Master Lu, I beg you, please help my mother. My mother's leg was broken by Zhou Meihua and others, leaving her paralyzed in bed. If it weren't for kind people occasionally bringing her some food, she might have starved to death."
I hope you can give my mother some money and help her hire a caregiver to look after her.
Lu Chi was displeased: "...What are you saying? I didn't kill you, why would I take care of your mother and support her in her old age? Am I her son?"
Chung Chor-hung thought about it and realized that made sense. She wiped away her tears, stood up, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I didn't think it through."
Standing to the side, Tang Xiaopiao thought for a moment and said, "I have an idea that doesn't require spending my master's money."
Cherie Chung immediately perked up: "What idea?"
Tang Xiaopiao said, "The people who killed you are Zhang Jiajun, the owner of the advertising company, his wife Zhou Meihua, that lawyer Nie Weixing, and the three accomplices they hired. We can sneak into their house..."
First, I'll scare them; second, I'll steal their money. Then I'll give the money to the owner so he can give it to your mother. That way, your mother will have money and can hire someone to take care of her.
My master is incredibly wealthy and powerful; no one dares to mess with him. He only needs to give a few instructions to the person taking care of your mother, and that person will absolutely not dare to cheat or bully your mother. If you're still worried, you can install a camera or something to monitor the person taking care of her.”
Lu Chi leaned against the wall, quietly listening to Tang Xiaopiao finish explaining his profound principles.
He laughed and said, "I like the first two sentences you said—stealing those people's money for your mother—I think that's a good idea. As for what you said later about hiring a nanny, I don't think that's necessary."
What's the condition of your mother's leg? I'll go see her tomorrow and get it treated so she won't need anyone to take care of her anymore.
"What?" Chung Chu-hung exclaimed in surprise, "My mother's leg can be cured? My mother has been lame in one leg for many years, and it can't be cured no matter where she goes for treatment."
The other leg was a fresh injury, inflicted by Zhang Jiajun and Zhou Meihua. "Young Master Lu, are you going to get a doctor to treat my mother?"
Lu Chi shook his head.
Tang Xiaopiao said excitedly, "Hahaha, I almost forgot. My master is a divine doctor with a pair of powerful divine eyes. He can see what disease a person has and where the root of the disease is just by looking at them."
Cherie Chung also got excited: "Wow? Is it that amazing?"
Tang Xiaopiao raised her head, proudly patted her chest, and said, "Don't you know whose master he is! He's someone I, Tang Xiaopiao, am willing to follow. How could he not be powerful?"
Chung Chor-hung looked on with envy, thinking that it would be great if Young Master Lu would take her under his wing.
But I've already troubled Young Master Lu so much, how can I possibly feel bad about it?
Lu Chi was a little sleepy and was about to go upstairs to sleep. He said to Zhong Chuhong, "Weren't you going to take revenge? Go find the people who hurt you and scare them to death. I'm going upstairs to sleep now. Tomorrow I'll go to your house to see your mother and get her leg healed."
Chung Chor-hung nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, thank you so much, my benefactor."
Lu Chi asked Tang Xiaopiao, "Are you going to continue following her around, or come back with me?"
Tang Xiaopiao's eyes showed a hint of trepidation: "Master, if you let me go back, I will go back with you."
Lu Chi knew that Tang Xiaopiao was playful and that Zhong Chuhong was going to scare her enemy to death. He also wanted to be a witness and do his part.
Let him be.
"You don't need to come back with me. Go and help Cherie Chung."
Tang Xiaopiao jumped around with joy after receiving Lu Chi's permission, making a peace sign with her right hand and saying "Yay yay yay!" several times.
Lu Chi shook his head: "This is insane, this is insane."
I went back to my room on the 28th floor to sleep.
The next morning, Lu Chi went to school for a class.
Then, following Guagua's instructions, they arrived at the place where Cherie Chung's mother lived.
Lu Chi frowned when he saw the low, dilapidated brick house.
Frowning isn't because of disdain, but because of pity.
A mother who lost her daughter sold all her valuables and moved to a dilapidated house in the suburbs of Beijing to avenge her daughter.
Despite having her legs crippled, she stubbornly continues to live. What sustains her is not anything else, but her unwavering belief in avenging her daughter.
Such a mother is unfortunate, but she certainly deserves respect.
Lu Chi glanced back at his four bodyguards and his follower Lei Song, all of whom were carrying large and small bags.
Two bags of rice, four buckets of oil, some salt, and some tonics such as donkey-hide gelatin, gastrodia elata, bamboo fungus, and cordyceps sinensis.
There are also two new quilts and several new bed sheets.
Although he told Cherie Chung yesterday that he didn't want to cause trouble, Lu Chi still brought these gifts because he thought about how pitiful she was and how pitiful her mother was.
Lu Chi stepped forward and gently knocked on the door.
Then a weary, aged voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
