Su Wanhao was from Liucheng, and Mr. and Mrs. Zhu were from Haishi. Aside from three auctions, when the couple begged Su Wanhao to release the Five Emperors Coins, they hadn't seen each other much since they each returned to their respective cities.
This time, Su Wanhao asked Master Lu for help on his wife's behalf, and it was his daughter who agreed first. Hai City was relatively trendy and close to the port, making it convenient for cruises to Xiangdao and Wandao. After hearing Master Lu's advice, Miss Su went back and reflected deeply. She stopped being arrogant and instead did the opposite: she began to lose confidence and became afraid.
She used to be so confident that she would lead Su's to become a leading enterprise, but now she knows that things are not set in stone. If she doesn't do well, it's not the scumbag who will destroy her company in this life, but what if she goes bankrupt?
Miss Su is under great pressure and anxious, and she works hard and studies in the company. But Su Wanhao, who is a daughter slave, feels sorry for her. As the New Year is coming to an end, he lets his wife accompany their daughter to go shopping to relax.
The mother and daughter chose Haishi, and they can also go to Xiangdao for a visit.
While in Hai City, she ran into Mrs. Zhu. They were just greeting each other politely, but Miss Su, thinking of the five emperor coins she had auctioned last time, casually asked, "How's your son doing?"
This really opened a hole. Mrs. Zhu immediately opened up and started crying.
Su Qianjin is a simple and kind person. Except that she is a little extreme towards men after being cheated by a scumbag, she is very sympathetic to the mother who is crying and distressed for her son. After hearing the other party say that the master is useless and taking back the Five Emperors' Money, she watched her son get better for a few days, but it relapsed soon after.
Miss Su got excited and immediately said that she knew a very powerful master.
So Su Wanhao called Lu Cijiu, worried that his daughter, who was young and didn't know how to speak, would seem disrespectful to the master, so he called him himself. He had no choice but to take the job, as his wife and daughter were watching, and it was a good deed to save a life anyway.
Just ask.
"Chinese New Year is coming soon, so we won't be taking any work for the holiday. If they're free, they can come over these two days," Lu Cijiu said. From the second to the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, unless it's a life-threatening situation for a VIP client, they won't be taking any work. The family is going to the United States.
The main reason was that Sang Jinghong wanted to take Wei Ba back to the US. When Wei Ba heard that he would be gone for several days and wouldn't be able to see Jiu Jiu, Da Long and the others, he got anxious. In the end, they just decided to go on a family trip. Cheng Ge also went home for the New Year.
After Su Wanhao got the OK, he called to explain, and soon the couple decided to arrive the next day.
In the evening, Cheng Ge made hot and sour noodles, with sauerkraut stored by Cheng Ge's aunt, secret red chili oil recipe, fried crispy fruits and peanuts, topped with steamed red sliced sausages, and beef patties fried by Lu Cijiu. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and they were so crunchy that they fell apart when you bit them.
Dudu had been fast asleep, but the moment the scent emanated, he fluttered his wings and flew out of the warm basket at low altitude, his fur shrunken from the cold. Luckily, the kitten saw it, so Dalong took the basket and carefully hid Dudu in his clothes.
But Dudu couldn't transform into a human form, Gong Xichao said it was too weak. Even so, Dudu stubbornly stayed rooted in the yard, his eyes half-closed, sniffing the aroma of flour and meat patties, his mouth moving with a greedy look on his face.
But, I can’t eat it.
The three of them didn't want to eat it, but it was so delicious. Slurp, slurp, drool.
The cubs slurped the powder and took a bite of the cake, and their bellies were full.
Lu Cijiu ate two bowls.
When the weather is cold, it’s really nice to eat hot and sour noodles.
The soup for the noodles is made with a rich broth, which makes you feel warm and satisfied. After dinner, it's time for fun at home. Because it snowed, the yard was covered with a thick layer of snow, so Lu Cijiu simply made a snowman with the kids.
"Dad, I'll build one for you at the door. This way the snowman can help Dad watch over the house."
"Okay, thank you Tail." Sang Jinghong said.
Wei Ba started to build a snowman for his father. Sang Jinghong played with him. After a while, the big snowman was built. Wei Ba made a small one and pointed at the big and the small one: "The big one is my father, and the small one is me."
"Then let's make another one." Sang Jinghong said, "A father who gave birth to a tail."
Tail nodded, squatted down to roll a snowball, and asked in a baby voice, "Daddy, what does the father who gave birth to Tail look like?"
"She was a very playful and cheerful person," Sang Jinghong recalled, adding, "She was very beautiful."
Lu Cijiu didn't mean to eavesdrop, he just came to borrow a shovel. Dalong and Maozi also wanted to pile up the dirt at the main door. When he heard Mr. Sang say that Hu Qingqing was beautiful, he was confused about his own aesthetic taste for a moment.
Hu Qingqing is clearly a handsome man, but Mr. Sang is pretty.
"Wow~" Tail was very happy, "The other dad is as handsome as Tail. I like handsome dads."
Lu Cijiu was worried for a moment. If Hu Qingqing came back, he didn't know how Mr. Sang would tell Wei Ba that the handsome father had become beautiful.
Outside the windowsill of the main house are little snowmen, from big to small.
"Kitty, brother will make you one that looks exactly like you." Dalong was full of energy.
The kitten nodded obediently, "Thank you, brother."
"Wife, I pinch you, you pinch me." Gong Xichao was very excited. Lu Cijiu looked at Dalong and then at Gong Xichao. The fake uncle and nephew are so similar, what a fate!
Gong Xichao couldn't wait any longer and said, "Wife, I made you the purest little snowman in the world, just like you!" Then he flew to the roof and tree branches to look for snow.
Lu Cijiu: ...Thanks for the compliment, but there’s really no need to praise him like that.
He was just a vulgar man, rolling in the sheets with Gong Xichao every day, finding places for xxoo. If you want to talk about purity, Gong Xichao is the most pure. He fucked him while being shy. Lu Cijiu liked to see Gong Xichao shy, and then deliberately teased him.
Lu Cijiu used to think he was quite simple.
When he was in college, his roommates would stay in the dormitory to watch movies, but Lu Cijiu didn’t like that. He usually went out to take orders or do homework, and his roommates even teased him about being a Taoist priest.
Gong Xichao has already flown away.
Dalong was jumping up and down below, "Uncle, find some for me too."
"I'll find you some ass, all of it belongs to my wife."
Lu Cijiu shouted to the sky: "Don't say bad words to Zizi."
"... Find you some air."
The golden eagle in the sky said so. Lu Cijiu smiled.
Finally, Gong Xichao carefully molded the snowflakes he found into a snowman. After it was formed, he dug into his Qiankun bag and pulled out two black, shiny gems. He said seriously, "My wife's eyes are black and shiny, so gems like these are just a makeshift."
Lu Cijiu just laughed the whole time.
Gong Xichao is so cute.
The pink atmosphere in the yard is excessive.
After coaxing the baby to sleep at night, Lu Cijiu lay in bed and said, "Gong Xichao, have a drink."
Gong Xichao had long understood that they could have sex without drinking, but after that, drinking became a secret code for them to do something else. Gong Xichao said, "Wait a minute, honey. I have a collection of red wine."
"Where did the red wine come from?" Lu Cijiu wondered.
Qiankun bags are all antiques.
Gong Xichao said proudly, "I bought it with my pocket money."
This is where you spend your pocket money. Okay, very Gong Xichao.
Lu Cijiu didn't say anything, and Gong Xichao immediately took out a bottle of wine and a glass. After drinking a glass, Lu Cijiu felt very good, his face was hot, and he hugged Gong Xichao and said, "Turn off the lights."
"Okay, wife." Gong Xichao snapped his fingers and turned off the lights.
The snow outside, which had stopped falling, began to fall again. Gong Xichao had set up a barrier in his bedroom, isolating it from the outside world, making it a small world.
The next morning, Gong Xichao got up and cooked porridge.
This was a new skill and a new joy Gong Xichao had discovered since the two of them started doing it together. Lu Cijiu was still sleeping in bed.
The snow outside was thick and the weather was too cold, so Zhou Cheng didn't go for a run. After getting up, he did some simple exercises in the bedroom to warm up. Then he went to wash up. He saw Gong Xichao in the kitchen. There was a look of understanding in his eyes. Without him saying hello, he heard Gong Xichao say, "Lu Cijiu is still sleeping. He wants to have some porridge today."
"Okay, Mr. Gong really likes Xiaolu." Zhou Cheng praised.
Gong Xichao glanced at Xiaohong, who was following Zhou Cheng from a distance, and said, "Of course, it's better than Zhe who only eats and does not work."
Zhou Cheng thought something was wrong. As expected, Xiao Hong screamed fiercely and rushed over.
"Zhou Cheng, if you want to change your pet, I know a lot of monsters that are better than this lazy one." Gong Xichao said.
Xiao Hong bared her teeth and cried out. Gong Xichao was not at all barren. After he had finished rubbing her with satisfaction, he felt that he was truly the most unbeatable male demon in the world!!! Handsome, beautiful, strong, and he also knew how to love his wife.
Zhou Cheng held Xiaohong and stroked her fur, then quickly took her away and came back to cook later.
Back in the room, Xiaohong broke free from Zhou Cheng's arms and instantly transformed into a tall man, his face grim and furious as he looked towards the kitchen. Zhou Cheng said, "Don't be angry."
"Do you want to change the monster?" Xiaohong asked angrily.
Zhou Cheng: "...What nonsense are you talking about? Mr. Gong is deliberately trying to piss you off."
Xiaohong was unhappy with this answer. She pressed Zhou Cheng against the door, lowered her head, gnashed her teeth, and said viciously, "I don't care what he says. I'm the only one you can answer for."
"Are you sure you don't care what Mr. Gong says—ah." Zhou Cheng felt a pain in his neck.
Xiaohong lowered her head and bit the spot, grinding it with her fangs. When she heard Zhou Cheng frown as if in pain, she loosened her teeth and licked it with her tongue. There was no blood, no breakage. Zhou Cheng, on the other hand, felt uncomfortable being licked and changed the subject, saying, "I'm not angry anymore."
"Don't talk about other men in front of me, not even male demons." Xiaohong's mouth never left Zhou Cheng's neck.
Zhou Cheng shrank back, then nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, only you."
Xiao Hong finally felt comfortable, and then licked Zhou Cheng's ear in a nasty way, and even pushed her leg between Zhou Cheng's legs. Zhou Cheng immediately softened and fell into Xiao Hong's arms.
"What kind of work is it? My job is to make you feel comfortable." Xiaohong spoke roughly.
Zhou Cheng had been brought up with good manners, and as someone from another family, he had never heard such words before. He was immediately embarrassed and said, "Don't say that."
"What do you mean? Do you want me to fuck you?" Xiaohong was unhappy and liked to bully her master in bed.
…
Gong Xichao was not working today and was in a good mood. He cooked a pot of porridge just for his wife and, mercifully, made breakfast for the whole yard. Of course, it was not as lovingly presented as the porridge just for his wife.
Lu Cijiu looked at the fried egg carved into a heart on the porridge in his bowl, smiled, and said thank you. Then he realized that Cheng Ge hadn't come out for dinner this morning, but Xiao Hong had transformed into a humanoid to serve the food.
Even though he looked fierce, he was wearing a shirt and slippers, not afraid of the cold even in heavy snow. When passing by Gong Xichao, the atmosphere between the two was not right. Lu Cijiu was afraid of quarreling, so he told Xiaohong that the porridge was still in the pot and she could serve it herself.
Then I noticed that there seemed to be scratches on Xiaohong's chest, and they were quite intense.
When I saw that Brother Cheng hadn't come out, I understood instantly.
Lu Cijiu: ...Hehe.
After that, Xiaohong was in human form. Lu Cijiu still found it strange. Even though Xiaohong's injuries had healed, she still liked to stick to Brother Cheng in her cub form. Now she suddenly turned into a human form, looking so fierce and violent, not like a good person. It was really a bit difficult to get used to it.
"Why do you suddenly love human form?" Lu Cijiu wondered.
Gong Xichao said coldly, "This broken monster actually wants to compete with me for the title of the most invincible male demon in the world. He's dreaming."
Wasn't this "The World's Most Invincible Male Demon" held when? What does that mean? Later, when Lu Cijiu heard Cheng Ge talk about what happened that morning, he was speechless and said to Cheng Ge, "He's just childish."
"Xiaohong has become childish too." Zhou Cheng said.
Two male demons were competing for the title of "Good Male Demon." Let them fight. Lu Cijiu didn't care. They knew their limits anyway.
It wasn't until after lunch that someone knocked on the door. The courtyard gate was unlocked, and Mr. and Mrs. Zhu, along with their children, and Su Wanhao and his family of three, had arrived. Lu Cijiu invited them inside to sit down.
Everyone was here for the first time. Su Wanhao took one look at the jade bed in the courtyard and realized it was just as described online. Master Lu was truly a master. "This place is truly beautiful and graceful. It's just a pleasure to look at."
"Thanks for the compliment. The air is indeed better." Lu Cijiu poured tea for everyone.
When it was Mr. and Mrs. Zhu's turn, they frowned when they saw the little boy they were holding. The little boy looked about three or four years old, but why did he look so lifeless and as if he was in debt? Then they looked at Mrs. and Mr. Zhu again. They hadn't seen each other for less than a month, and their faces had changed a lot.
"Master Lu, what's wrong?" Mr. Zhu saw the master's expression and asked anxiously, "Can Xiaobao still be saved?"
Lu Cijiu didn't answer, but asked: "What did you do? Why is he in debt at such a young age?"
"Hey, hey, we didn't do anything." Mr. Zhu didn't understand what Master Lu was talking about. Mrs. Zhu beside him was also like that. She held her child and wiped her tears, saying, "My husband and I finally got a baby. We have done good deeds and donated money to charity. And our little baby is very well-behaved. He is only four years old. He is usually well-behaved and rarely cries. He is not a naughty child."
Mrs. Zhu was afraid that Master Lu would call her son a naughty child, so she explained.
"So I'm asking what you and your wife did that brought retribution upon the child." Lu Cijiu spoke seriously and bluntly this time, "If you don't answer, I won't be able to save the child."
The Su family's mother and daughter had originally sympathized with Mrs. Zhu, but now, after hearing what Master Lu had said, they wondered if there was something else going on. But the child was innocent. Just as Miss Su was about to persuade the Master to examine the child first, her mother slapped her.
Her mother was soft-hearted, and the two of them were very similar, usually like sisters, but when her mother got serious, even her father would give in. Miss Su didn't dare to speak at the moment, and waited quietly.
"Nothing." Mrs. Zhu cried, wanting to plead with Master Lu. But when she looked into Master Lu's penetrating eyes, she suddenly thought of something and her eyes dodged. She said in panic, "Nothing either."
"What do you mean by no?" Lu Cijiu's tone was already stern. "If you don't want to tell me, then please go back. This is just treating the symptoms but not the root cause. I can't save this child."
Whoever owes the sin must pay it off. Saying goodbye to old friends does not mean taking on the debts of this couple.
Mr. Zhu was anxious and said, "We said, but we don't know if this is the case."
Lu Cijiu didn't respond, and Mr. Zhu didn't get a response. He felt awkward for a moment, then continued, "We've been married for over ten years, but we haven't had any children. We went to the hospital for a checkup, and they said my sperm is weak and the survival rate is low. My wife tried everything from medication to injections, but we just can't get pregnant."
"Until I was 35, we had been struggling for so many years. I really saw no hope, and I didn't want my wife to suffer, so I suggested we just adopt a child. Raising a child would be just as good as a biological one. My husband and I quickly found a one-year-old girl in an orphanage. She was so cute, and we really loved and raised her like our own."
Mrs. Zhu nodded and said, "Yes, we treat her very well and buy her expensive brand names for everything."
"It would have been nothing, but then my wife got pregnant. It was a pleasant surprise." Mr. Zhu was very happy and said, "Our whole family was overjoyed to welcome the baby. But my wife is old and the pregnancy was very hard. She didn't have extra energy to take care of Zhenzhen. Zhenzhen was eight years old, naughty and rebellious. She didn't like her brother and was throwing tantrums at home all day. My wife was so worried about it that she almost lost the baby. Later, we discussed it and gave Zhenzhen to a couple. The couple is very nice and they have money." Mr. Zhu explained hurriedly.
Mrs. Zhu cried and said, "Yes, that family is well off. They won't treat her harshly, and that's good for her."
Lu Cijiu frowned, feeling very disgusted with the couple.
"A child isn't a toy, and you're just giving him away so carelessly?! You two are abandoning him. Stop trying to flatter yourself." Miss Su, standing next to him, started angrily, "If I had known you two were this kind of people, I wouldn't have helped you."
Fortunately, she didn't speak out to help persuade Master Lu, otherwise her face would have been swollen.
Su Wanhao did not stop his daughter from swearing at him. On the contrary, he wanted to draw a clear line between himself and the couple.
Mrs. Zhu defended herself, saying, "We've treated her very well, and the family we found is also wealthy. I just don't have enough energy—"
"Why didn't you think you didn't have enough energy when you brought the child back? Why didn't you say you didn't have enough energy when you gave birth to your baby son? With your family's conditions, are you really going to cook and wash clothes by yourself when taking care of the child? There is a nanny. If you abandon the child, just abandon it. What excuses are you making?" Su Qianjin scolded.
Lu Cijiu shared the same thought. The girl was taken in by the couple when she was one year old and raised until she was eight. Before she was abandoned, she truly believed these two people were her parents. But then they mercilessly sent her away and told she wasn't her biological parents.
An eight-year-old girl.
Lu Cijiu's disgust for the couple was unrelenting, as he thought of it. "Adoption is a responsibility. You tried every possible means but couldn't get pregnant. Yet, you got pregnant eight years after adopting the girl. Your son was brought to you by the girl."
There's a saying that if an infertile family adopts a child and later has another, it's the "childishness" of the previous child that carries through. In this case, the previous child shouldn't be abandoned.
But some people are just so disgusting. After having their own children, they dislike the adopted ones in every way, find faults and excuses to find "faults" in the adopted children, and give them away to make themselves feel at ease.
For example, if the biological baby is in a bad mood and doesn’t want a second child, can the couple still give their eldest son away?
Of course not.
So don't make any high-sounding excuses.
"A man with weak sperm wants offspring, so he makes you take injections and pills to ovulate for more than ten years. Now that he knows it's impossible, he says he feels sorry for your suffering. I think he really cares deeply about your wife." Mrs. Su said sarcastically. She didn't quite believe what people said about her adopted daughter being naughty.
Even if the child is naughty and does not want the mother to have a second child, that is not an excuse to abandon the child.
Whose child hasn’t been naughty when they were young?
"Master, we were wrong, really wrong, but Xiaobao is innocent. We have raised her for eight years and spent a lot of energy and money on her. How can she bring bad luck to my son now?" Mrs. Zhu said with resentment in her voice.
I feel that my adopted daughter is ungrateful. I have raised her in a wealthy life for eight years, but she turned out to be an ungrateful person.
How can you curse Xiaobao?
"Not only that, what else is going on?" Lu Cijiu asked bluntly, "Your son looks like he's dying, and that girl is not doing well. What happened?"
Mr. Zhu felt guilty, "Nothing, they just approached us two years later, but we refused."
"Then your son's life is doomed. Let's go."
"No, Master, please, it's really nothing." Mrs. Zhu almost knelt down, holding her sleeping, emaciated son, so that Master Lu could see him. She said, "He is innocent, Xiaobao is innocent, please save him."
Lu Cijiu frowned, "Something must have happened to that girl. Why isn't she telling you now?"
Mrs. Zhu had no idea and looked at her husband blankly. Her husband, Mr. Zhu, stammered, "Zhenzhen later told me that the man touched her and she was very scared. I thought it was just a child's casual remark. Besides, the elders liked her, so it was okay for him to be a little affectionate with her."
Lu Cijiu couldn't stand it anymore. This fucking guy sent the little girl into the hands of a pervert.
"Get lost." Lu Cijiu was blunt. He refused to take the job, and the couple wanted to play the emotional card. Lu Cijiu shouted, "Gong Xichao, throw them out."
He couldn't save the child's life.
The palace tide was coming, so fast that these people couldn't see clearly. In the blink of an eye, the Zhu couple was thrown out of the gate with their child in their arms. The snow was thick on the ground, so it didn't hurt much. Mrs. Zhu protected her son, but when she saw her husband's ashen face, she swallowed the accusations.
Yes, it has nothing to do with them. The child never tells the truth. Maybe he said that because he wants to come back and lie.
Lu Cijiu's face darkened. The three members of the Su family were furious, especially Su Wanhao, the daughter-slave. They had never expected such a scumbag to exist. Before he could explain that they were not familiar with the scumbag couple, Lu Cijiu made a pause gesture and dialed the phone.
It was Mr. Cheng, the president of the Hai City Chamber of Commerce. When he visited the Cheng family after the auction, when he talked about the Zhu couple, Mr. Cheng had something to say and didn't think much of them. Now I think he must have known about the abandoned adoption of his daughter.
The phone rang for a while before it was connected.
Lu Cijiu made his intention clear and asked directly, "Whose family is the Zhu couple's adopted daughter living with now?"
Mr. Cheng was stunned. He didn't expect Xiaolu to ask this right away. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You know? It's on Huaihai Road. It belongs to Professor Zhang and his wife. Professor Zhang is a nice person, and his wife likes children very much."
So although Mr. Cheng despised the Zhu couple for abandoning their child, he felt that it was good for the child to be in such an educated family.
Lu Cijiu got the address and didn't elaborate on the girl's suffering. He believed the girl wasn't lying, because the Zhu family's son's face couldn't be fake. After ending the call, he didn't have time to exchange pleasantries with the three Su family members. "You guys are welcome. I need to go to Huaihai Road."
"Of course. Please let me know if you can help me with anything." Su Wanhao said.
Lu Cijiu nodded, called Gong Xichao to go out, and the two of them teleported to Haishi.
