Vera debuted at the age of 20 and met Liao Tingwang at the age of 25. The two were deeply attracted to each other when they met for the first time. Six months later, they secretly got married and formed their own small family.

Liao Tingwang had been hiding his marriage from his family. He knew that Mr. Liao would never agree to him marrying an artist without a background. He played tricks on his family and repeatedly rejected the people that Mr. Liao introduced to him.

The Zhou family had problems with their business. Mr. Zhou and Mr. Liao were old friends, so they wanted to match their daughter Zhou Chanying with Liao Tingwang. Mr. Liao was quite satisfied with Zhou Chanying and the Zhou family, and he also wanted to match them up. At a business reception, Liao Tingwang was drunk and sent to Zhou Chanying's room, where they spent the night.

Grandpa Liao and Grandpa Zhou thought that the matter was settled, and then they waited for Liao Tingwang to marry Zhou Chanying and return to the Liao family. However, they waited and waited until Zhou Chanying found out that she was pregnant, but Liao Tingwang did not say that he would marry her. Zhou Chanying found Liao Tingwang and told him that she was pregnant, but Liao Tingwang told Zhou Chanying that he was already married.

Once this matter was spoken out, it was equivalent to that both the Zhou family and the Liao family knew about it. Grandpa Liao was furious when he learned about this and asked Liao Tingwang to divorce immediately. Liao Tingwang refused, and the father and son quarreled every day. Grandpa Liao went to Vera and forced Vera to divorce and give way, saying that she was not worthy of marrying into the Liao family.

What made Vera completely disappointed was that Zhou Chanying was pregnant, and the child was Liao Tingwang's, which she could not accept.

Vera asked Liao Tingwang for a divorce, but Liao Tingwang tried to persuade her to stay but failed, so he had to agree. After

the divorce, Vera found out that she was pregnant. At that time, Liao Tingwang had married Zhou Chanying under the arrangement of Mr. Liao.

Vera was confident that she could raise the child, but her body would not allow it. In the later stages of pregnancy, Vera's health became worse and worse. She finally waited until the child was born, but her health was already very poor. She dragged her sick body to raise the child until he was three months old. She knew that she did not have much time left, so she called Liao Tingwang and handed the child to him.

While Vera was still able to move, she arranged her affairs, sailed out to sea, and never came back.

One month after the child returned to the Liao family, the nanny took the child to get vaccinated. The bodyguards waited outside the vaccination room. After waiting for a long time, the nanny did not come out. When they went in to look for her, they found that she was missing. The bodyguards went to look for her separately and immediately contacted Liao Tingwang.

After receiving the call, Liao Tingwang called the police immediately and drove to the vaccination center to find the child. However, he had a serious car accident on the way. After rescue, his life was saved, but he has not woken up and has been in a coma ever since.

When the nanny was caught, the child had already been sold to someone else. The police followed the clues and caught the trafficker who took over the child in Huaifeng County, D City, but they still couldn't find the child. The police interrogated the trafficker overnight, but they refused to give up until two days later when they finally couldn't stand it anymore and confessed that they had thrown the child away. When asked where the trafficker had thrown the child, the trafficker was vague. After another round of interrogation, they finally found out that the child was thrown into the river.

The first reaction of the interrogating police officer was that the child was gone. A child of several months old was thrown into the river so long ago, there was no possibility of survival. The police took the traffickers to identify the scene. It was the largest river in Huaifeng County. The river water flowed through Huaifeng County and finally gathered into a vast lake. There was no possibility of draining the water to remove the body.

Seeing this, Jiu Jiu let out a long sigh: What happened to the nanny? Who sent her to do this?

[The nanny's son suffers from uremia and urgently needs money to replace his kidney. She took the money from the Zhou family. The Zhou family's goal was to let her kill the child. The nanny didn't dare to kill anyone, so the Zhou family contacted the contact person for her and asked her to find an opportunity to hand the child over to them. 】

Lu Jiu couldn't explain his mood at the moment. He always thought that he was a child abandoned by his parents. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel resentment. He couldn't help but think, if they didn't want him, why did they give birth to him, and then abandon him after giving birth to him. What kind of parents can be so cruel?

He didn't expect that there are so many twists and turns here. He is not a child abandoned by his parents. It is only because of the calculations of some people that he has become like this.

Lu Jiu took out his mobile phone, which fell to the ground. He squatted down to pick it up and searched for Vera while squatting on the ground. Vera's photos and videos of her past performances popped up. Lu Jiu clicked on a picture and looked at the person in the picture carefully, lost in thought.

This is his mother. His mother's name is Vera. His mother is long gone. His mother loves him and doesn't want to abandon him...

Rujiu thinks he should be happy, but his eyes are red. He knows who his parents are, but his mother is gone...

Jiang Xiwen comes to find Rujiu and finds him squatting on the ground, holding his mobile phone with red eyes.

Jiang Xiwen walks over quickly, "What's wrong?"

Rujiu shakes his head. He just suppressed it for too long. Being abandoned by his parents has always been a thorn in his heart. He says that he doesn't care and has let it go, but how can he not care and let it go? He just buried it deep in his heart and didn't let it see the light again. The longer the time, the more painful it is.

"Sister Wen, where's the boss?" Wen Cheng's voice came.

Jiang Xiwen was about to send him away when she saw Ru Jiu pull up the mask and cover his eyes, revealing his mouth and chin.

Jiang Xiwen: "..." Wen

Cheng came over: "..."

Ru Jiu didn't want to be seen like this, so he stood up, stretched out his arms, groped his way out of the kitchen, and went to the employee lounge.

Seeing Jiang Xiwen and Wen Cheng being taken away by Wen Jiu: "..."

Wen Cheng looked at Jiang Xiwen stiffly, "What happened to him?"

Jiang Xiwen pressed her forehead, "Nothing, go and do your own thing."

Wen Cheng glanced at the lounge, the boss really didn't look like he was fine.

Wen Jiu went home and took a nap, and finally came to his senses, and also clearly recognized the ugly faces of the Liao family.

It was definitely not a good thing for the Liao family to come looking for him, he wanted to see what tricks the Liao family was up to!

When Jiu Jiu went to the store today, he paid special attention to the crowd, waiting for the Liao family to come.

In addition to the people queuing at the door of the small store, there was also a circle of people gathered. Jiu Jiu took a look and it seemed that someone was surrounded in the middle. The Liao family would not make such a

high-profile appearance, right? The part-time waiter today was Huang Qi, and with Huang Qi was a tall girl. It was the first time Jiu Jiu saw her.

When Lu Jiu looked at her, the girl took off the mask on her face and let Lu Jiu recognize her face. There was not much expression on her face, and she stretched out her hand, "Hello, boss, my name is Chang Beimu, a reserve soldier."

Chang Beimu's pupils are lighter in color, and he looks cold and indifferent when he looks at people. He has a good appearance and a good figure. She has long black hair, which is casually tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, neat and tidy.

Chang Beimu also saw Lu Jiu's long hair. She had only heard of Boss Lu before, but had never seen him in person. Now that she saw him... she still didn't see his face. Lu Jiu wore a mask, but Boss Lu's long straight black hair was particularly eye-catching.

Chang Beimu: "..."

Chang Beimu was stunned. Is this a case of head-butting?

Lu Jiu didn't care and asked Huang Qi, "What's going on over there?"

Huang Qi said angrily, "The three people who were surrounded said they were the boss' uncle and brother. One of them was the brother's fiancée and they were said to be getting married soon. They introduced themselves as soon as they arrived and said they would wait for you in the store. They were stopped by Sister Wen. Sister Wen asked them to call you, but they didn't. They said they wanted to make us look bad. So many people are trying to get close to them and have a relationship with them. They have been saying this for almost an hour."

Huang Qi didn't know whether they were Lu Jiu's relatives or not. Sister Wen said it didn't matter. Whether they were relatives or not, they couldn't break the rules of the store. Without Lu Jiu's words, it would be the same no matter who came,

uncle or brother?

Lu Jiu narrowed his eyes. Could they really be members of the Liao family?

The three people surrounded by the crowd also saw the man wearing a black mask standing at the door of the store. He was tall and had long legs, a cold temperament, and long black hair tied up. The pair of eyes exposed outside were particularly attractive.

At this moment, Lu Jiu finally saw who they were, and his eyes turned cold instantly.

Lu Hai! Lu Hongcheng!

It turned out that they were the father and son.

Fang Yingying also saw the young man at the door of the store. There was no need to say more, just a pair of eyes was enough to make people think about it.

When Fang Yingying learned that Lu Jiu was Lu Hongcheng's younger brother, she checked Lu Jiu's pictures on the Internet. He was really good-looking and beautiful, but the pictures on the Internet were not as shocking as seeing them in person. And it was just a pair of eyes!

Fang Yingying pulled the stunned Lu Hongcheng, "What are you looking at?"

The two have never been apart since they appeared, their arms have been intertwined, like conjoined twins, afraid that outsiders don't know how good their relationship is.

Lu Hongcheng came back to his senses, "No, nothing, it's been a long time since we last met, I'm a little surprised."

In Lu Hongcheng's impression, Lu Jiu is still the skinny, small, weak and pitiful little girl, but after not seeing her for many years, she has completely changed. Lu Hongcheng almost dared not recognize her. The Lu Jiu in front of him is almost no longer the shadow of her childhood.

After a long time of identification, Lu Hai finally recognized that the person wearing the black mask was Lu Jiu. He waved his hand in the crowd and said to the people around him, "My nephew has been away from home for several years and has been wandering around in City A. He has really made a name for himself."

The people around him echoed and praised Boss Lu for being amazing. Lu Hai was envious of having such a good nephew.

Lu Jiu glanced at them coldly and turned back to the store.

Everyone: "..."

Someone burst out laughing. They had been listening to Li Hai bragging for an hour. He said that Li Jiu's cooking skills were taught by his father. His father Li Changde used to be a chef in a star hotel. After retiring at home, he liked to teach the younger generation cooking skills. Li Hai boasted that his cooking skills were not inferior to Li Jiu's. He also planned to open a seafood restaurant. In the future, he and Li Jiu will take care of each other. Everyone can go and support him.

As a result, when he greeted him, the boss ignored him and turned away. He didn't even come over to say hello, let alone invite them into the store. Many people around felt embarrassed for Li Hai. He was slapped in the face too hard and too loudly. Let's see how he can get away with it.

Someone joked, "Is it because there are too many people here? Didn't the boss see you?"

Li Hai was embarrassed and hurried to step on the steps. "Yes, yes, he probably didn't see us. I'll go check."

Li Hai squeezed out of the crowd and chased after Li Jiu. "Li Jiu!"

Li Jiu went into the store without looking back. Li Hai chased after him to the door and was stopped by Huang Qi and Chang Beimu.

Li Jiu's attitude explained everything. They didn't need to be polite to the boss's so-called "relatives".

Huang Qi: "It's not time yet. If you want to eat, please line up."

"What food do I need? What line up?!"

Seeing this man again, Lu Hai tried to push him. Huang Qi stood very steadily. Lu Hai failed to push him and turned to push Chang Beimu. How could a girl be stronger than a man? Lu Hai thought so in his heart. However, before his hand touched Chang Beimu, it was easily separated. Lu Hai himself was pushed back a step.

Lu Hai looked at the girl in surprise. She was still standing there, not taking a step back.

Huang Qi reminded: "Don't think that girls are easy to bully. She is a martial arts master. If you touch her again, be careful not to lose your hands."

Lu Hongcheng, who followed over, had his eyes glued to Chang Beimu when he saw her. He stared at her chest and waist for several times.

Chang Beimu is beautiful, with a nice face and a good figure, and a cold and aloof personality, which can best arouse a man's desire to conquer.

Fang Yingying pinched Li Hongcheng hard, causing him to hiss in pain, frowned unhappily, and pulled back his arm, no longer being a conjoined twin.

Fang Yingying glared at Chang Beimu hatefully, but Chang Beimu remained expressionless.

"Li Jiu! You ungrateful bastard, now that you've become successful, you don't even recognize your uncle, right? Don't forget who gave you your life, without our Li family, you wouldn't be where you are now!" Li Hai stood at the door and started to curse without caring.

"Who gave him his life?" A cold voice appeared behind him.

Lu Hai turned his head suddenly and saw another man wearing a black mask. The man was tall and slender, wearing a black coat, with a pair of eyes as deep as a cold pond, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of fierceness.

Lu Hai was frightened by the man's momentum and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Huang Qi and Chang Beimu called "Captain".

Si Xu glanced at them, "What are you doing here? If you encounter someone making trouble, just shoot them away."

Huang Qi and Chang Beimu responded in unison, making way for the newly appointed captain of the seventh team to enter the store. Lu

Jiu, who wanted to enter the kitchen, turned back when he heard Si Xu's voice, "Why are you here? Aren't you busy?"

Busy, but no matter how busy he was, he had to come over to take a look, because he was afraid that Lu Jiu would suffer a loss.

"It's not busy now, I came to take a look." Seeing Lu Jiu, Si Xu's eyebrows softened unconsciously.

Lu Jiu knew that Si Xu was worried that he could not deal with the Liao family. He already knew the truth, so how could he be deceived by the Liao family?

"I have nothing to do here, you go and do your things first, don't worry about me..."

"Lu Jiu! You ungrateful wolf! You dare to treat me like this, believe it or not, I will expose everything and make you ruined! Let's see who is still willing to come to your restaurant to eat, what good dishes can an ungrateful and ungrateful ungrateful wolf make?!"

Lu Hai refused to leave, and yelled in front of all the customers, not caring about his face at all.

Li Hai pointed at Li Jiu's nose and cursed, "My dad picked you up and raised you with great difficulty. He was reluctant to buy medicine when he was sick, and spent all his money on you. But you moved to the big city to become a big star right after my dad died. We are poor and can't be on the stage, right? It's embarrassing for you, right? I tell you, you must not forget your roots! Without our Li family, you would have died in an unknown river 20 years ago!"

Liao Tingyue, who was standing in the crowd, had his eyes flashed. He originally wanted to see the situation before deciding what to do, but he didn't expect to see this scene.

Li Jiu was about to go out when Si Xu held her hand. He wanted to help Li Jiu solve it, but Li Jiu held his hand back.

"Oh my god, I have to solve this matter myself."

Si Xu stared at him for a few seconds before saying, "Okay."

Lu Jiu walked out and stood at the door looking at Lu Hai who wanted to make a big fuss, "Lu Hai, what do you want?"

Lu Hai was stuck. He didn't expect Lu Jiu to give in so quickly. He had already made up his mind. Just when he was about to open his mouth to explain his purpose, he heard Lu Jiu speak again.

"I don't care what you want. Before you open your mouth, you must do one thing before you are qualified to talk to me!"

Lu Hongcheng spoke before Lu Hai, "What is it? As long as we can do it, we will definitely do it!"

Lu Jiu said coldly: "Go back and start from the old house where Grandpa Lu died, kowtow all the way to Grandpa Lu's grave, and then cry for 49 days, 24 hours a day without stopping, and come to talk to me when you are done! Your whole family must go, not one person less, not even one day less!"

Everyone was shocked.

Lu Hai and Lu Hongcheng were also shocked. Lu Hai pointed at Lu Jiu with shaking hands, and he said the word "you" several times in a row, but he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Jiu Jiu's tone was icy, "Grandpa Luo adopted me, so you took the initiative to sever ties with him. You ignored him for so many years. When the house was demolished, you were quick to ask for money. When Grandpa Luo was dying, he was reluctant to die, and he was eagerly waiting for you to come and take a look, but did you come?! If you don't come when he died, you will be buried with him. You didn't even come to me for gifts, but now you have the nerve to try to establish a relationship with me. Where do you get the nerve? You don't even acknowledge Grandpa Lue, so what relationship do I have with you? Even if I owe you anything, it's to Grandpa Lue, and it has nothing to do with you!"

Lu Jiu almost yelled at the end, his eyes were red, and his whole body was shaking.

Si Xu held his hand, hugged him.

Lu Jiu turned his face away, not wanting to be seen by the guests like this, he couldn't think about it. Every time he thought of Grandpa Lue's death, he couldn't stand the look in his eyes that looked towards the door from time to time. Before Grandpa Rui died, he wanted to see his biological children. Rui Jiu called them, but they didn't answer. When she went to their house to beg them to come and see them, they didn't even open the door. They were so cruel!

Grandpa Rui died without waiting for them. Even for Grandpa Rui's funeral, the community and neighbors helped. Rui Jiu didn't know how he got through those days. He knelt when the adults asked him to kneel, kowtowed when they asked him to kowtow, and couldn't cry when they asked him to cry. It wasn't until Grandpa Rui was sent to be cremated that Rui Jiu cried loudly the moment he was pushed in.

He finally realized that Grandpa Luo was gone, the Grandpa Luo who loved him, raised him and gave him the only family affection was gone, and from now on he was alone.

Si Xu gently patted him and whispered to comfort him, "Don't be sad, I will always be with you."

Luo Jiu slowed down, stepped out of Si Xu's arms, and his eyes were a little red.

"If you want to get close to me, you must first prove that you have a relationship with me. Go and kowtow until Grandpa Luo forgives you! Get out!"

Huang Qi no longer hesitated and dragged Luo Hai away.

Two tall and strong guests pushed Lu Hongcheng away, "Hurry up and leave, don't delay the boss Lu from preparing lunch."

"I've never seen such a vicious person, he didn't even go to see his own father when he died, is he still a human being?"

"He brags so much, but he is not a human being."

"There are actually such people, who do such things and still have the nerve to try to make connections?"

"Not a human! A beast in human skin!"

Liao Tingyue in the crowd felt embarrassed, these words seemed to be scolding their Liao family, think about how the Liao family forced Vera to give up the throne, and now they want to take benefits from her child... Liao Tingyue felt that he couldn't save his face when he thought about it.

Si Xu took Lu Jiu back to the store.

Lu Jiu didn't say anything, and Si Xu accompanied him quietly.

Rujiu went to the kitchen, took out the ingredients to prepare lunch, and was busy for a long time before she remembered that Si Xu was still there.

"I'm fine, I was just a little angry just now, but I'm fine now." Rujiu has calmed down.

Si Xu didn't ask any more questions and changed the subject, "Do you need my help?"

Thinking of the way Si Xu killed the tentacles, Rujiu couldn't help laughing, "I think I'd better not do it, I can do it faster alone."

Si Xu: "I can hear a strong sense of disgust."

"Everyone has their own strengths, you're just not good at cooking." Rujiu picked up a shelled shrimp tail, looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to this place, so he dipped it in the soy sauce dish, quickly took off Si Xu's mask, and stuffed the shrimp tail into his mouth.

Jiang Xiwen, Huang Qi and Chang Beimu who were secretly observing here: "..."

What's going on? Are their relationship good enough that they can hug and feed each other anytime?

"Is it delicious?" Lu Jiu smiled.

Si Xu nodded, "It's delicious, the cooking skills of the God of Cooking are the best in the world!"

Lu Jiu swept away all the gloom and smiled.

"By the way, my team seven has been approved. Let me know when you need someone to come for dinner." Si Xu almost forgot about it. Lu Jiu

was surprised, "So fast?"

What was just decided last night was approved today. Could it be that it was approved a long time ago, but it was kept under wraps because Si Xu didn't accept it?

Jiu Jiu's guess was almost right. The "Special Security Department" wanted to keep Si Xu so much that they could basically meet any request he made. He wanted a seventh team, and it would be approved in a few minutes. It didn't matter if there were no second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth. They would be there in the future. Let's keep this god first.

Jiu Jiu knew that Si Xu was busy, so he accelerated his work and prepared lunch for Si Xu after he finished, so that he could eat before leaving.
