Saturday, the Lu family's old residence.
It was a rare occasion for the whole family to gather together for a meal.
The eldest sister, Lu Sangning, said to Lu Chi, "Little brother Lu Chi, Qiao Jiyang has been in China for a week now. Are you sure you don't want to do anything about him?"
The others also looked at Lu Chi, wanting to ask for his opinion, since Lu Chi was now the one who spoke openly and subtly in this family.
Unconsciously, the parents handed over the power of managing the household to Lu Chi, and the older sisters also regarded Lu Chi as their most reliable support.
Although Qiao Jiyang has not yet taken any action against the Lu family, everyone knows that he will hold a grudge against them for sending him to jail, even if he was in the wrong first.
A scoundrel like him would never refrain from seeking revenge against the Lu family.
Lu Chi shook his head and said, "You can all relax. Go to work or have fun. Qiao Jiyang's first target isn't us, it's Zhang Yong. He won't touch our families until Zhang Yong is completely ruined."
The eldest sister, Lu Sangning, was a cautious person: "Brother Lu Chi, we are fine. We always travel by car and have bodyguards with us. It's just that our mother often goes to various entertainment venues to play mahjong, so the bodyguards are bound to be negligent sometimes."
“Hey, big sister,” Lu Chi shook his head, “Didn’t I tell you before? You don’t need to worry about Mom at all. I found her a very capable bodyguard. How should I put it? He’s a bit like the secret guards from ancient times. Anyway, no one in this world can hurt Mom.”
Pan Fengben sat beside them, eating while listening attentively to the siblings' conversation. Upon hearing Lu Chi's words, he was overjoyed:
"Son, aren't my bodyguards still the same four as before? I haven't seen any others. When did you get me a secret... secret guard? Hahaha, you're making it sound like you're in a period drama."
Second sister Lu Qingru couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, little brother Lu Chi, what you said about the secret guard is so funny, it sounds like ancient times."
"Hahaha!" Lu Chi laughed along, "You could also think of it that way, like those masters in period dramas. You can't see where they are, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. They'll always step forward whenever there's danger."
That's the only explanation. I can't exactly tell my family that I let my son [Wang Teng] stay with my mom.
That would scare everyone so much they'd get sick.
My mom is especially timid and is most afraid of these supernatural things.
Last time, the old witch Murong Xiaolin almost scared my mom to death.
"Son, now that you've said that, does that mean I'm safe no matter where I go to play mahjong?"
Lu Chi nodded: "Mom, don't worry, it's safe wherever you go."
“However,” Lu Chi thought of something, “Mom, take off the bracelet on your wrist so I can take a look.”
As Pan Feng took off the bracelet, she asked curiously, "Son, this bracelet isn't worth much. Your father gave it to me for our 10th wedding anniversary. It only cost 1 million. What do you want with it?"
Lu Chi shook his head: "Mom, give it to me, I need it, I'll return it to you tomorrow, okay?"
“Silly son, Mom doesn’t want you to return it. If you like it, I’ll give it to you.” Pan Feng handed the bracelet to Lu Chi and smiled. “Do you want to give this bracelet to Yu Nian? That’s fine too. I was originally planning to give it to her on your wedding day.”
Lu Chi shook his head: "No, no, no! Mom, no need, no need. You can keep this bracelet for yourself. This style is too old-fashioned, young girls won't like it. I'll give her a prettier bracelet later."
"Alright," Pan Feng said helplessly. "Silly boy, this bracelet of mine is so beautiful, and you actually think the style is too old-fashioned? Don't you know how to appreciate beauty?"
"Haha, I'm full. Dad, Mom, eldest sister, second sister, third sister, fourth sister, fifth sister, you all take your time eating. I'm going to go for a stroll in the garden."
Lu Chi took the bracelet Pan Feng gave him, turned around, and left the restaurant, heading into the garden.
Wang Teng hid in the garden pavilion, concealing himself there. He dared not come out during the day when the sunlight was strong.
Everyone knows that ghosts are afraid of sunlight.
But if it's a cloudy day, he can come out.
Lu Chi sat down in the garden, waved the bracelet in front of him, and Wang Teng appeared in front of him. Although he was still invisible, Lu Chi could see him standing in front of him through the video in his mind's eye sent by Guagua.
“Wang Teng,” Lu Chi said to Wang Teng, “from now on you will hide inside this bracelet. If the light is too strong, you will hide inside the bracelet. If it is cloudy and there is not much light, you will come out of the bracelet and hide not far from my mother.”
Wang Teng nodded: "Yes, Master."
Lu Chi added, "If my mother goes home, you should leave the bracelet and find a place to hide. Don't get too close to her. I'm worried that if you stay too close to her for too long, she won't be able to handle it and will get sick."
Before Lu Chi could finish speaking, Guagua immediately said, "Host, if you have such concerns, you can buy a defense pill for your mother in the system shop."
Lu Chi: [What is the effect of the Defense Pill?]
Guagua: [Naturally, it can protect the body and soul from any ghosts or monsters.]
Lu Chi: [Buy!]
Guagua: [Okay, host, this pill costs 1000 yuan per pill and has been put in your pocket.]
Lu Chi: [What if I don't wear clothes with pockets when I buy things from the system shop next time?]
Guagua: [Then I'll store it in the system space for the host. The host can retrieve it from there whenever needed.]
Lu Chi stopped talking to Guagua, took out a box from his pocket, opened the lid, and found a black pill inside, which smelled faintly of roses.
Lu Chi reminded Wang Teng again: "Wang Teng, do you remember what I said? During the day when the sun is shining, you should hide inside this bracelet. At other times, you can stay invisible and follow my mother."
Looking at the bracelet in his hand, Lu Chi said, "Since my mother has taken this pill, whether you are far away or close to her will not affect her. So from now on, you should stay closer to her."
Wang Teng bowed and said respectfully, "Yes, I remember, Master."
Lu Chi sat in the pavilion for a while, then took the bracelet and the defensive pill and returned home.
The family had just finished eating and were sitting on the sofa resting and eating fruit.
Lu Chi returned the bracelet to Pan Feng, saying, "Mom, here's your bracelet back."
Pan Feng asked in surprise, "Son, are you really not planning to give this bracelet to Yu Nian?"
Lu Chi shook his head: "Mom, no need."
Fourth sister Lu Xiaoyue said from the side, "Mom, the style of your bracelet is indeed outdated. Young girls don't like it. When Lu Chi gets married, I'll go to my shop and pick out a globally customized bracelet for him to give to Yu Nian."
Pan Feng laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to your fourth sister. The bracelet she designed is much prettier than mine."
"Okay, Mom."
Ding ding ding...
Lu Chi had just eaten a piece of watermelon when the phone rang.
Upon checking the caller ID, it was him again!
