Chapter 39
It's an old trick, a bit old-fashioned, but it works.
And this time the coconut milk is already cold, so there is no need to pay as much as last time.
The kitten shook its ears, which were full of milky fur, and watched Zhu Shaoquan flee in the eyes of surprise, anger, or accusation. Its tail was so proud that it almost reached the sky.
Even when she saw the fathers approaching, she had to pretend to be deeply wronged: "Dad, Fu Fu didn't..."
If it were another adult, they might have been fooled.
But after all, his fathers gave birth to him and raised him in two lifetimes, so they are very familiar with his style of doing things.
If they didn't see it the previous times when he framed his uncle, they would still have doubts. But this time, from the moment he suddenly broke free from their hands and ran towards Zhu Shaoquan, the two of them watched the whole process.
It was clearly seen that this little thing was not afraid at all when talking to Zhu Shaoquan, but instead acted like he was teasing a dog.
It was also clearly seen that he had scooped up the bowl of coconut milk himself and given himself a coconut milk bath.
However, they both knew why Fu Fu "learned bad things" and did these things.
They would not blame the child, but just pinched his nose and said, "You, you little troublemaker."
Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Fu Fu stopped pretending and grabbed the corner of Zhu Xiyuan's clothes with her little hands, showing him the sticky fabric: "Daddy, I want to wash it..."
Probably only at this time will the kitten take the initiative to ask for a bath.
Xu Run was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and hurried over: "Hey, kid, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Si Yin poked his cat ears and picked off a glistening sago sticking to them: "It's okay, just a little... frightened. I'll be fine once I get home."
Xu Run scratched his head. "Oh my God, I never thought Shaoquan would actually... How could he, he, he lay hands on a child?! Really..."
"Major Xu!"
Someone called him.
Xu Run turned around and saw that it was the leader who had just entered the restaurant.
In terms of position and seniority, they are all higher than him, but not higher than his father, so they will still call him to join them when there is something.
Xu Run has been accustomed to this helpless situation since he was a child: he has no ability, but because he is Xu Tieren's only son, everyone wants to win him over.
At times like this, he always thought, it would be better if he were not an only child.
He didn't care who would take over the future power of the Xu family. That was never what he expected.
He would rather stay in his humble self and be an ordinary person.
If only... I had a powerful brother or sister.
However, he also knew that it was all delusion, so he had to say goodbye to Zhu Xiyuan and Si Yin honestly and join the leaders' criticism meeting against Zhu Shaoquan.
--how so?
——To such a young child...
——Is it a stranger’s child?
——Uh, yes, it’s his brother’s house.
—What? You can even do this to your nephew?
——I really misjudged him. I thought he was a young talent, but he turned out to be so vicious!
——Xiao Xu, did you see what happened?
——Neither have I…
——We were planning to let him join the club, but fortunately Lao Yang said he would investigate further.
——If they dare to do this in public, I can’t imagine what they can do in private!
——You can know a person’s face but not his heart.
Zhu Fu once again sneaked into the house where Zhu Shaoquan lived.
I thought Zhu Shaoquan would at least close the doors and windows after last time, but he didn't. The kitten even came in through the main door.
Zhu Shaoquan was not difficult to find. He was sitting on the sofa in the corner of the first floor.
Oddly enough, instead of hiding away and throwing tantrums about how they've ruined their futures, the adults seem a little... bewildered.
Sitting in a corner of the sofa, staring into space in a daze, even the frustration on his face was fleeting.
His eyes were unfocused and his face flushed.
It looked like... drunk.
Fu Fu hid behind the closet and watched without even closing the door. It really looked like something a drunk person would do.
But the problem is that Zhu Shaoquan looked 100% sober when he was having afternoon tea just now, so the alcohol intake would not have been earlier than afternoon tea.
However, no one drank alcohol.
Zhu Shaoquan looked depressed the whole time because Xu Run and Zhu Xiyuan had known each other for a long time. He didn't say much and had no appetite to eat or drink.
Apart from……
Fu Fu remembered.
My uncle ordered the same coconut milk as me. Seeing that his bowl was untouched, he wanted to ask if he could have it for himself.
What did Zhu Shaoquan do afterwards?
In order to prevent him from succeeding, Zhu Shaoquan drank the whole bowl in one gulp.
That was the only food he came into contact with during the entire afternoon tea.
Fufu opened her eyes wide.
Could it be that this uncle is drunk... drunk on coconut milk?
Just as Fu Fu was thinking about whether this information could be used, Zhu Shaoquan suddenly stood up.
The kitten was startled and quickly leaned against the wall.
Surprisingly, there is a gap between the cabinet and the wall, probably to make it easier for the cleaning robot to clean.
An adult couldn't fit into this gap, but it was no problem for a three-year-old cub; and since Zhu Fu was a soft little kitten, she squeezed in easily.
As long as Zhu Shaoquan didn't suddenly become curious about what was behind the cabinet, it would be impossible for him to be discovered.
Fu Fu looked at the adult's unsteady steps and the way he walked, and was sure that he was drunk.
Zhu Shaoquan came to the center of the room, where a dark green carpet was spread.
He began to spin in circles, and a hazy halo gradually appeared around him.
——This is the sign of entering the companion spirit form!
Fufu held her breath.
He knew that humans, who are intolerant to alcohol, would lose self-control after getting drunk. Rational people would become calm, while calm people would become furious. This was collectively known as: showing one's true colors.
He wanted to see whether Zhu Shaoquan could still maintain the disguise of a companion spirit after being drunk on coconut milk.
When Fu Fu looked over again, the human was gone, replaced by a leopard lying on the carpet, panting.
Sure enough, just as he imagined, this time the leopard was even more unable to maintain its entity. It was no longer even like a holographic projection, but more like a flat projection from the ancient mother planet era. Even when it stuck out its tongue, it got stuck for several seconds.
After the nerve center is affected, it is inevitable that the control level will decline.
Soon, the leopard could no longer hold on and lowered its head.
There was a moment of complete stillness, and Zhu Fu even wondered if he was dead.
Afterwards, the leopard shrank smaller and smaller, and became darker and darker, turning into Zhu Shaoquan's true companion spirit, the hyena.
The hyena lay on the ground, motionless, as if it was asleep.
Fu Fu ran towards the detached house where she lived, with countless exciting thoughts flashing through her mind.
He knew Zhu Shaoquan's weakness, and it was a fatal one.
After drinking coconut milk, one's original form will be revealed uncontrollably - this is probably something Zhu Shaoquan himself doesn't know.
Given the evil god's vengeful nature, Zhu Shaoquan's outrageous remarks to his fathers today were enough to deserve this bastard's death a thousand times over.
But he is just a little kitten now and doesn't have that much fighting power.
Moreover, even if he still had the power of the evil god, crushing an ant with his own hands would not bring any sense of accomplishment.
He wanted to choose a better occasion and time to expose the companion spirit that had been disguised for many years, and make Zhu Shaoquan return the things that originally belonged to Zhu Xiyuan in their entirety.
The starry sky was clear and bright that night, and the little children were running under the gaze of the stars.
The stream was gurgling, and a few birds were startled by the footsteps in the night and flew away with their wings flapping.
Fu Fu returned to her residence and found that Si Qin was still awake and was sitting in the rocking chair at the door waiting for him.
The rocking chair was very comfortable, made of rattan, and looked like an oversized bird's nest. Fufu had taken a nap here in the sun, and Si Yin had also played games with him while lying on it and holding him.
But grandma is different. Even on such a soft and comfortable recliner, she still sits upright.
Siqin still had almost no reaction to the outside world until she saw Fufu appear in her sight, then she finally showed a hint of reaction.
She twitched the corners of her mouth, as if to smile at him, and finally extended her hand, her voice slightly hoarse: "Zi...Zi."
"Grandma!" The kitten restrained its movements, jumping to her side instead of on her body, and looked up at her.
Siqin touched his little face and said, "Go back...to sleep."
"Okay."
Fu Fu helped her get down from the rocking chair, carefully held the old woman's hand, and walked towards the door step by step.
But the door slid open first.
Zhu Xiyuan put on his coat and looked down at the kitten that had sneaked out the door: "Where did you go?"
