Chapter 316: Pretty Sister Won't Lie
"What's the matter with thunder in a sunny day? What's the matter with the Chosen One? What's the point of this?"
Mr. Lu and his wife had an emergency trip yesterday morning and were not at school. When they came back in the afternoon, they received a call from Du Yihan saying that he and his sister had been in a car accident, but fortunately no one was injured.
Du Yihan naturally couldn't tell him the specific details. After all, a car wanted to hit them, but was struck by lightning when it was about to hit them. If Du Yihan had dared to tell him this on the phone yesterday, Mr. Lu would have definitely scolded him right then and there.
Let him control the water in his head and withdraw the consent for a home visit.
When Lu Zhenzhu heard what her father said, she was also stunned: "Dad, don't you know? The news has spread all over B University and even some nearby restaurants and communities. Yesterday, a car accident happened not far from the intersection of the snack street near B University, which is dilapidated and narrow and has a row of fly-infested restaurants."
"I know that. Aren't they the two who had the car accident?" Old Lu pointed at Du Anrao and the other two.
"Yes, then why don't you know about thunder?"
"Is this car accident related to thunder?"
Lu Zhenzhu stared at her father for a long time, making sure that he really knew nothing about it, and then she smiled faintly and said, "It's not that the car accident was related to thunder. It was the car that almost hit them that was struck by thunder at the last moment."
Lv Zhenzhu's husband Huang Yongming also followed suit: "That's right. It was a clear day with no clouds in the sky, and suddenly a thunderbolt as thick as an arm fell and directly burned the car. Don't you think it's weird?"
The two men were sharing strange stories with the two elderly people in a joking tone, but they didn't expect that the two elderly people had just heard that someone was learning fortune-telling not long ago, and now they heard such a mysterious thing related to it, they were completely frozen.
After a long silence, Grandma Lu was the first to react. She ran back to Du Anrao and held her hand.
He asked anxiously, "Child, is what you just said true? Your Grandpa Lu is in poor health. Did you notice that?"
"That's right, grandma. If you are willing to believe me, then let Grandpa Lu find time to go to the hospital for a colonoscopy. It would be best if nothing goes wrong. If something goes wrong, it can be discovered and treated early. I know it is unlucky to say this during the New Year, but if I know it... and don't say it, I will feel bad."
Du Anrao did not force the two to believe him, but only advised them to take this matter seriously for the sake of Grandma Lu's health. After hearing this, Grandma Lu actually believed it for the most part.
"Good boy, grandma knows you are a good boy. Don't worry, we are not angry, and we don't mind this. If there is, there is, if there is not, there is not. How can you change it with just a few words? Another day, no, I will take him to the hospital for a check-up on Monday. Just like you said, if there is nothing, it's best. If something is really found, grandma will thank you very much."
Lu Zhenzhu and others arrived later, and were confused and lost when they heard the two people say this.
"What are you talking about? What's wrong with your health? What's the checkup?"
"It was this young man who said I had a bad stomach the moment he walked in, and asked me to go to the hospital for a checkup, saying the school's physical exam couldn't find anything wrong with my health." After Mr. Lu finished explaining, he muttered unwillingly, "I think I'm in good health."
Apparently, he still didn't think there was anything wrong with his body, but he felt a little bit of awe towards Duan Rao because of the truck being struck by lightning.
Or maybe he simply couldn't persuade his wife, knowing that he couldn't change her decision, and he couldn't escape the examination anyway.
Lu Zhenzhu and his wife looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Before they could react, the daughter who was originally holding their hands suddenly ran to Grandma Lu, hugged Grandma Lu's thigh and peeked at Du Anrao.
"I believe in my sister."
Duan Rao raised an eyebrow and squatted down to talk to the child: "Why do you believe your sister?"
"Because my sister is pretty, and pretty sisters don't lie."
“Pfft…hahahaha…”
The child's childish words successfully made the somewhat stagnant atmosphere in the room become lively and relaxed. Even Duanrao, the person involved, was amused by her words.
"That's not necessarily true. Pretty sister likes soft and juicy kids like you the most. She wants to trick you into a corner where adults can't see her and eat you in one bite every day."
As Du Anrao spoke, he made a couple of threatening gestures at her, scaring the little one so much that she screamed and hid behind Grandma Lu, refusing to come out.
Seeing this, Lu Zhenzhu and his wife also laughed. They turned around and whispered to Lu Lao, "Dad, I don't think this girl has any bad intentions. Just like she said, who would go to someone else's house to bring bad luck during the New Year? She must have seen something to say that. Just listen to mom and go get a check-up. If there's nothing wrong, that's the best. If there is, it's better to find it early than late. There's no harm in it."
Mr. Lu usually listens to his youngest daughter the most, except for his wife who can't get over him. Now that his wife and other women have stood aside, he has no say anymore.
I could only nod my head and say, "I can't argue with you guys, just make the arrangements."
"In that case, let Yongming take you and mom to the hospital for a checkup on Monday. It will be considered as a burden for you and mom to go, and it will also give us young people some peace of mind."
The matter was settled, and Duanrao's purpose of coming here had been achieved.
But because Youyou really liked her and kept pestering her to play together, the two of them stayed with Mr. Lu until after lunch, when the child's mother was about to take the child to a nap.
Before leaving, Duanrao touched the little girl's head with a loving face, and it was obvious that he had become completely familiar with her.
"Youyou, you are so cute, can I give you a small gift?"
"Okay, what gift do you want to give me, sister?"
Duanrao chuckled and made a fake move. He clenched his fists and then opened them. A beautiful little sachet appeared in his palms.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" The little guy was immediately attracted by the lotus pattern embroidered on the brocade bag and burst into cheers.
Du Anrao had specially ordered this lucky bag from the mother and son of the Qiu family as a New Year gift for the relatives who had given her money in support.
After packing up all the jewellery made from raw stones to give away, there were still quite a few left, so Duanrao used them to pack the talismans and magical instruments he had just learned to make in his spare time. These came in handy now.
Seeing that she liked it, Duanrao directly hung the brocade bag around her neck.
"This is the gift from your sister. Inside is a lucky charm that your sister drew by herself. It can bless Youyou to be safe and healthy, and to grow up quickly. Youyou must carry it close to you, and don't take it off when you go to kindergarten, otherwise your sister won't play with you next time we meet."
"Yeah, Youyou must wear it well. Pretty sister, you must play with Youyou next time we meet."
As soon as Duan Rao said these words, Lu Zhenzhu and the others didn't think anything of it, but the old couple Lu's expressions suddenly changed.
