Chapter 22 A Subtle Fear Upon Closer Consideration: Will They Sharpen Their Knives and Harvest into the Livestock?



The little girl's life plummeted to an abyss, but luckily, during her fall, she met a butterfly, a butterfly that could lift her up and help her through the final journey.

However.

The butterfly itself didn't react much.

She ended the live stream.

Turning to knock on the door of the top floor, Yan Jiu, who was desperately in need of free employees, planned to have a chat with the previous owner of the attic.

for example.

To discuss a better future together.

Unfortunately, the other party didn't want to talk about this with Yan Jiu.

They didn't even give a response.

Yan Jiu was unhappy.

She didn't want her enthusiasm to be wasted.

then.

Yan Jiu guessed and kicked open the door to the top floor.

But before kicking.

She stopped herself from having this dangerous idea.

Yan Jiu said seriously, "If it gets broken, it needs to be repaired."

The system dared not utter a sound.

It intends to ignore it and remain fearless.

I quietly found a popular novel on the trending list and started reading it while munching on virtual melon seeds.

Yan Jiu banged on the door.

The eerie atmosphere inside the house churned in fright.

"..." Anyone can punish her!

final.

Yan Jiu stopped her "ladylike" behavior.

Because the Chu family came knocking on our door.

However.

But it wasn't Chu's parents who came to the door.

Instead, he was a man in his thirties.

Yan Jiu stood on the stairs with her hands in her pockets, tilting her head as she looked at the person who pushed open the door and entered.

Chu Lixiong covered his mouth and nose with a white handkerchief: "Indeed, there was no need to come and take a look. This place, which is full of poverty, is not worth your personal visit, Uncle and Aunt."

He was wearing a well-fitting black suit.

He appeared virtuous but was actually a hypocrite.

Chu Lixiong's words carried the arrogance and disdain of someone in a superior position, reflecting his habitual contempt.

This is the real prejudice of the upper class.

It wasn't as eccentric and sarcastic as the characters in the novel.

These people who consider themselves superior will always maintain the illusion of being noble and well-mannered.

They habitually and unintentionally crush everything about others to the bone, yet pretend that nothing of the sort happened.

Yan Jiu sneered: "Did you brush your teeth with shit this morning? Otherwise, how could your words be so disgusting? Don't try to cover it up, your stench can't be contained no matter how hard you try."

Chu Lixiong: "!?"

He thought he was hallucinating.

Otherwise, how could they have heard Yan Jiu's unruly words?

Yan Jiu shouldn't be so eccentric and sharp-tongued, right?

According to his investigation.

Yan Jiu was a coward since childhood, the kind of person who wouldn't dare to talk back even if he was bullied.

First impressions matter.

So much so.

Chu Lixiong was extremely surprised.

She didn't even get angry at what Yan Jiu said.

Chu Lixiong was unable to catch his breath.

He paused for a moment.

He remembered what his uncle and aunt had told him.

Chu Lixiong said reluctantly, "The Chu family will not let its bloodline wander outside. In a while, someone will naturally come to take you home. You should prepare in advance and close this shabby shop."

Yan Jiu smiled and asked in return, "Why did you tell me in advance? What, are you not going to live to see that day? Do you need me to prepare for your funeral now? As a relative, I'm willing to give you a discount."

Chu Lixiong: "!!!???"

Who informed you beforehand?

Which teacher did you learn Chinese from?

What do you mean I won't live to see that time?

If you can't speak properly, just shut up!

besides.

Nobody needs your discount!

Hearing Yan Jiu's words.

Chu Lixiong's entire upbringing was almost ruined.

Because of anger.

His chest heaved.

If he has a heart condition, it's likely he's already had one.

Chu Lixiong glared angrily at Yan Jiu.

That one glance.

He was completely bewildered.

From the moment I pushed open the door and entered.

Chu Lixiong never gave Yan Jiu a second glance, which is why he still doesn't know what Yan Jiu looks like.

It's flamboyant and unrestrained.

It is something that the lonely and helpless should not have.

Yan Jiu's smile was gentle and refined, but his eyes were shrouded in a cold and dangerous emotion, like a demon that had just escaped from hell.

Chu Lixiong thought it was a hallucination.

He shook his head.

Then go and see Yan Jiushi.

Yan Jiu has returned to her harmless appearance.

Slowly walk down the stairs.

Yan Jiu poured himself a glass of water: "You lost your mother at a young age, and your father was an incompetent man. You were despicable and arrogant, living under someone else's roof. Eight years ago, you voluntarily married into the Li family, got married and had children. Unfortunately, you have few offspring, and your son died young. Now that you are middle-aged, you have lived like this. It is truly a pitiful sight."

Chu Lixiong's pupils dilated.

He swallowed hard.

They had long since forgotten about being angry.

These things are not secrets.

But he felt that no one knew his thoughts...

The Chu family has always had only one direct line. Whoever takes charge of the Chu family is the head of the direct line in that generation.

Unfortunately, Chu Lixiong's father lost to Yan Jiu's grandfather, and to his uncle and aunt.

This led to their lineage becoming a collateral branch of the Chu family.

Because of his youthful debauchery and difficulty conceiving, he was naturally jealous of the harmonious and happy family of Chu's father.

Ever since he learned that Chu Sisi was not a member of the Chu family.

Chu Lixiong's little scheme began to take shape.

He had already prepared to cooperate with Chu Sisi, who was dissatisfied with the status quo, to regain control of the Chu family.

When the paternity test results came back, Chu's parents were overjoyed and suggested taking Yan Jiu home.

He volunteered to come see Yan Jiu with his uncle and aunt.

On the surface, he wanted to show Chu's parents how much he valued Yan Jiu, but in reality, he wanted to give Yan Jiu a hard time.

He thought he had hidden it all very well.
