"Was it the Malfoy family that brought you in?"
No, no, no.
Richard shook his head.
“We weren’t brought in by the Malfoy family; at that time, we had very little trade dealings with them.”
"I only started doing business with the Malfoy family after I took over the family business."
"That's why the Malfoy family calls us, the Gonzalez family, nouveau riche."
Shen Yulou scooped the baby into her arms and then sat on Richard's lap.
The little one who just touched the wand again: ...
"You were incredibly arrogant when you called them nouveau riche!"
"I like it. Money earned through my own hard work should be a little extravagant."
Shen Yulou showered Richard with kisses.
"And at that time, my parents weren't simply on Voldemort's side."
“Our family has two funding channels: one to support the Order of the Phoenix, and the other to support Voldemort.”
"Holy crap, aren't your parents afraid of being exposed?"
Shen Yulou was surprised that Richard's parents were so bold.
Richard shrugged.
"They eventually paid the price for this."
Under Shen Yulou's watchful gaze, Richard slowly began to speak.
"The Order of the Phoenix knew about our opportunism even before the Death Eaters did."
"After they found out, they cut off all financial ties with us."
"Later, the Death Eaters found out about this, so my parents were killed shortly after Tian was born."
“After my parents died, Tian and I were also in danger, and our family’s property was threatened by Death Eaters.”
"Unfortunately, Voldemort died a few months later, and I successfully took over the family."
Richard spoke of the past with constant sighs and lamentations.
She still felt a little sad when she talked about her parents' passing.
That's right. The pain of losing a loved one is a scar that no amount of time can erase.
What lesson did this teach Richard?
Those who waver in the face of adversity will not end well.
Shen Yulou also sighed along with Richard.
The González family's survival to this day and their immense wealth is partly due to luck.
"So, which side will you choose in a few years?"
"The great battle between the Savior and Voldemort is inevitable."
Do I still have a choice?
Richard chuckled, pinched Shen Yulou's cheek, and leaned his head against him, swaying back and forth.
"I love you, so I have no other choice."
Shen Yulou blinked, then snuggled into Richard's arms and frantically rubbed his abs.
"I love you too! I will protect you, you will be alright!"
"Trust me, I can take on Voldemort one-on-one without fear!"
He jumped up and frantically squeezed Richard's face, proving with his actions that he was insanely in love with him.
"Yes, yes, you are the best."
Richard cupped Shen Yulou's face in his hands and rubbed it against his nose.
"I will protect you all too."
"It's just that this little one is still a bit too small."
After saying that, Richard patted the baby's bottom.
"Him?"
Shen Yulou shook his head.
"Don't worry about him. Don't let his small size fool you, he's actually the toughest one."
"He's the only one who gets himself injured; who would dare attack him?"
"They think their lives are too long."
Shen Yulou lifted the baby high without hesitation.
"Really?"
Richard was skeptical, touching the baby's chubby body everywhere, trying to see what made him different from other babies.
"Do you want to come to the Hogwarts farewell dinner? I'll steal you a chicken leg."
"two!"
Seeing that Richard remained unmoved, Shen Yulou held up two more fingers.
Three?
Four??
Five?!
"How many do you want to eat? Do you really love chicken legs that much?"
Richard shook his head.
"I love eating meat, but not chicken leg meat."
"Isn't a chicken leg meat too?"
"You're meat too."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yulou immediately pinched the flesh on Richard's waist with two fingers.
