Mu Wenxi wrote an agreement stating that because Mu Guoqiang had been committing domestic violence against the original owner for a long time, the two agreed that Mu Wenxi would not support Mu Guoqiang in the future.
"Have Mu Guoqiang sign his name."
Aunt Bei immediately sent someone to get the household registration book. When they arrived at the Mu family's house, Mu Guoqiang was still drunk and was acting crazy on the ground. Aunt Bei's people easily got the household registration book and made the drunk Mu Guoqiang sign his name on the agreement. After that, Mu Wenxi's household registration was transferred out separately.
With the matter settled, Mu Wenxi carried the agreement and household registration book with her.
Aunt Bei: "Wenxi, do you think we can leave now?"
Mu Wenxi: "Okay."
Aunt Bei: "When we get to the Huo family, you don't need to say anything."
Mu Wenxi: "Don't worry, I know."
At the Huo family's old residence, President Bei bowed and scraped, reassuring President Huo: "Coming right away, coming right away."
Mr. Huo and his mother sat patiently on the sofa.
A car drove into the Huo residence. Mu Wenxi opened her eyes. The Huo residence was really big; it took several minutes to drive there.
Upon seeing the car parked at the entrance, Mr. Bei immediately rushed ahead of the security guard and opened the car door.
Mu Wenxi got off the bus carrying her schoolbag.
Mr. Bei: "Mr. Huo, I've brought her. This is my niece."
Mr. Huo looked up and saw Mr. Bei nervously wipe his sweat.
Mr. Huo: "I remember, I told you to bring your daughter over, didn't I?"
Mr. Bei bent over and smiled obsequiously: "Hehe, there's no difference between this niece and my daughter. Besides, my daughter accidentally fell at school these past few days and can't come over, so I thought I'd have my niece come over."
Mu Wenxi looked up at the two people sitting on the sofa. The man was wearing a black suit and looked to be in his thirties. The woman next to him was wearing a cheongsam and had a lingering sadness in her eyes, but she still looked like a girl in her twenties. Time seemed to have stood still for them.
Sensing the gaze, Mr. Huo looked at Mu Wenxi. The little girl in the school uniform was a bit thin and pale, as if she was malnourished, but when she met his eyes, she did not flinch or look away. She was calm and composed, unlike the look that should be in eyes of someone her age.
Mr. Huo: "What's your name?"
"Mu Wenxi".
Mr. Huo seemed to be deep in thought, while Mrs. Huo also glanced at Mu Wenxi. Although she was somewhat surprised by the girl's thinness, she felt a surge of anger: "I only want Bei Ying."
Mr. Bei's smile froze on his face: "Mrs. Huo, Bei Ying has injured her foot."
Mrs. Huo: "Then come back when your foot is better."
Mr. Bei looked embarrassed: "Can't I have my niece replace Bei Ying?"
Mu Wenxi stood to the side expressionless, neither humble nor arrogant in the face of President Huo's scrutiny.
Mrs. Huo closed her eyes, seemingly suppressing her anger: "No."
"Let her stay."
Huo's mother suddenly stood up, while Huo Jiangliu, sitting in a wheelchair upstairs, watched from the corridor.
Huo's mother immediately beamed with joy. Her son had actually agreed to come out in a wheelchair. Ever since the doctor had declared that Huo Jiangliu would never be able to stand again, he had been lying in bed every day, lifeless: "Son, you're up?"
Mr. Huo glanced at Mr. Bei and said, "You can leave now, the person stays."
Mr. Bei agreed and left in a hurry.
Mu Wenxi looked up and gazed at Huo Jiangliu on the second floor. This was the second male lead? Huo Jiangliu's pale face couldn't hide his good looks.
Although he was in a wheelchair, he looked as if he were sitting on a prince's throne, with an elegant and noble posture. His phoenix eyes were long and narrow, with the corners slightly upturned, exuding a noble air with a touch of playfulness. His nose was small and slightly upturned, and his eyes looked as deep as obsidian and as vast as the universe.
Mu Wenxi looked away, unable to bear watching any longer.
Mrs. Huo seemed to be in a much better mood: "Mu Wenxi, right? You can stay with us from now on."
Mu Wenxi nodded: "Thank you."
Huo Jiang spun his wheelchair back to his room. Inside, he called out in his mind, "Are you still there?"
Just a few minutes ago, he was lying in bed when suddenly a voice appeared in his mind.
"A lucky koi fish has been spotted. Please seize the opportunity, host."
Huo Jiangliu looked around, somewhat bewildered: "Who are you?"
"I am nobody, I am a curse prevention device. It has detected that the host's bad luck level is 96%, and it must be cleaned up immediately."
Huo Jiangliu couldn't believe it: "You really can stop my bad luck?"
"The lucky koi can prevent the host from being unlucky. When the level of bad luck reaches 100%, the host will die."
Huo Jiangliu felt a chill run down his spine. Would he die?
"Lucky koi fish spotted. Please approach as soon as possible, host."
Huo Jiangliu immediately propped himself up with his hands, trying to move himself onto the wheelchair at the head of the bed, but his movements were not skilled enough and he accidentally fell to the ground. He got up again and climbed onto the wheelchair without regard for his dignity.
Regardless of whether what's in his head is real or just a hallucination that appears when he's really dying, he still has to try.
There was no one else in the room. Lucky Koi must be outside. He went to the corridor. Downstairs were his parents and two people he didn't recognize, a man and a woman, and an older man. He recognized him as Bei Ying's father.
There was also a girl in a school uniform, but I have no memory of her.
Huo Jiangliu squinted. The lucky koi must be that girl. Just as his mother was about to kick her out, he immediately said, "Let her stay."
The voice echoed in my mind again: "Successfully bound to the lucky koi. When the host approaches, bad luck will be automatically cleared away."
Huo Jiangliu felt a sense of relief: "It really was her."
He returned to his room, wanting to ask the voice in his head how to get rid of the bad luck. Did he have to get close to that girl? He was afraid that everything happening in front of him was an illusion, but the voice did not reappear, and Huo Jiangliu calmed down.
Mrs. Huo was overjoyed. Her son seemed to have cheered up and was now using a wheelchair. Her eyes were filled with tears. She was sure that things would get better and better from now on.
Mr. Huo put his arm around Mrs. Huo and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, he's our son."
Mrs. Huo looked at the thin Mu Wenxi beside her and said, "Little girl, we originally wanted Bei Ying to come, but the Bei family couldn't bear to part with her, so we sent you instead. But don't worry, as long as you take good care of my son, the Huo family will definitely not treat you badly."
Mu Wenxi: "As long as I have enough to eat and wear, that's fine."
The two were startled. They had initially thought Mu Wenxi's malnutrition was just due to her constitution, but now, hearing this, they wondered if she even had enough to eat.
Huo's mother: "Are you so thin because you're not eating enough?"
Mu Wenxi: "Yeah, I'm not full."
Mr. Huo had a good impression of the girl and instructed the butler, "Don't worry, the Huo family has no shortage of food."
The housekeeper quickly had the kitchen prepare some dishes. Mu Wenxi thought to himself that this must be the best meal the original owner had ever had since childhood, but every meal from now on would be just as good as this.
