The entire Chu family was covered in soot. Sure enough, the eldest brother's family was an infuriating bunch; they shouldn't have been allowed to live!
What angered Uncle Chu even more was Chu Yiting's cold gaze and threatening tone, "If you've come to congratulate Tang Bao on her return to the Chu family, you're welcome. But if you've come to ruin today's banquet, please leave immediately with your children!"
Uncle Chu's face darkened as he took deep breaths, trying to suppress the raging fire within him.
"Don't worry, of course we're here to congratulate Tang Bao on her return to the Chu family!" Uncle Chu gritted his teeth inwardly, but his face was all smiles, though his smile was somewhat stiff.
Madam Chu felt frustrated, but she still smiled and said matter-of-factly, "Of course I came to congratulate Tang Bao on returning home. Minmin just wanted to talk to Grandpa! I just didn't expect you to misunderstand!"
"That would be great! I also hope you won't cause any trouble at my sister's banquet!"
"Of course, I don't mind giving you guys more things to do!"
The three Chu brothers showed no respect for their second uncle's family, threatening them in front of all the elders.
The three brothers' imposing aura intimidated Chu Zhehong, who dared not refute them. Chu Shumin could only hide behind Madam Chu and the others, feeling both fear and jealousy. Why wasn't she their biological sister? Otherwise, she would be the one being protected now.
Old Master Chu stroked his beard and shook his head helplessly.
"Second son, I'm getting old. I've handed over all the affairs to Chu Yiting. If you need anything, just ask him!" Old Master Chu said, his gaze falling on Chu Zhehong and Chu Shumin. "If Zhehong and Shumin feel uncomfortable at home, they can come to my place! I can take care of them!"
"Okay, I understand, Dad!"
Uncle Chu felt incredibly frustrated and angry. But the worst wasn't yet, so he had no choice but to obediently agree.
"Grandpa, I'll leave these old gentlemen to you. I'll go greet the other guests!" Chu Yiting said politely to Grandpa Chu.
Grandpa Chu smiled, nodded, and waved his hand. "Go on, go on, leave this to this old man! They don't have much to talk about with you young people!"
The old men's lips twitched, they all snorted and rolled their eyes in annoyance.
Chu Yiting went to greet the other guests who had arrived early, as only he, the current head of the Chu family, could entertain them. Chu Yixi also went to arrange the security for the entire banquet, so that Tang Bao's wonderful banquet wouldn't be ruined.
In the end, Chu Yilin was the luckiest, accompanying Tang Bao to the banquet to meet the other children.
"Hey, what's that naughty auntie doing here?"
Tang Bao was furious when she saw Wen Mingyu walking in with a middle-aged man in her arms.
Chu Yilin smiled and patted Tang Bao's head, "It's alright, she's here!"
"This is Tangbao's party, and Tangbao doesn't like her coming! Besides, this wicked aunt is carrying a ghost baby!"
Hmph, she doesn't want to see those scoundrels who bully her second brother!
"Wh...what!"
Chu Yilin's expression changed immediately. He stared at Wen Mingyu, but he didn't see any ghost infant. He suddenly realized that he didn't have the Heavenly Eye Talisman on him and couldn't see those ghosts or anything like that.
The young monk Huiyuan, seeing the ghost infant crawling on Wen Mingyu's shoulder, was already eager to try. "Junior Uncle, should we perform a ritual to release that ghost infant?"
"No need for now, why would we need to perform a ritual for the deceased?" Tang Bao didn't seem to care at all.
The young monk Huiyuan looked puzzled. "Shouldn't we perform a ritual to help ghost infants find peace?"
Tang Bao shook her head and snorted, saying, "This ghost baby was created by this bad aunt herself, so why should we perform a ritual to help it pass on now!"
Why is he messing with this ghost baby?
Chu Yilin immediately thought of the many celebrities in the entertainment industry who were raising ghosts.
So, what kind of trouble did Wen Mingyu go to cause?
"When did you get this brat? You didn't mention it before."
Tangbao nodded her little head, "Yes, it's only been two days!"
Chu Yilin suddenly realized, no wonder, Tang Bao hadn't mentioned that the woman had any little devils before.
"Tangbao, I heard that raising a ghost child can grant your wishes. Is that true?"
Tangbao nodded her little head, "Yes, yes! But there are prerequisites, and there's a price to pay!"
Chu Yilin was initially shocked to see Tang Bao nod. Could raising a ghost really be this good?
However, upon hearing Tang Bao mention that there would be a price to pay, he couldn't help but shudder. "Tsk, what kind of price?"
"They will help their master at first, but when the little devils' desires are not satisfied, they will turn against their master. At best, they will lose everything; at worst, they will lose their lives and their souls may be scattered!"
Chu Yilin couldn't help but shudder, clicking his tongue and shaking his head, "So pathetic! Serves him right!"
I never expected that Wen Mingyu would be so foolish as to mess with that damn brat. I just didn't know that this would be the outcome.
What Chu Yilin didn't know was that Wen Mingyu originally didn't believe in the practice of raising ghost children in the entertainment industry. However, after meeting Tang Bao and witnessing Tang Bao catching ghosts, which she saw and experienced firsthand, she also came to believe that raising ghost children in the entertainment industry could help one improve their status and get whatever they wanted.
So Wen Mingyu immediately found a way to get a little devil, but it wasn't long before Tang Bao and the others recognized him at first glance.
So Chu Yilin was wondering if Wen Mingyu knew about the potential backlash. He certainly didn't know; he just felt that if those people could succeed, she could too.
Tang Bao shook her head, agreeing wholeheartedly, "Yeah, yeah! Serves them right!"
Lin Qinghua frowned and reminded Tang Bao, "Since this wicked woman has only had this little devil for a short time, there shouldn't be any backlash so soon, right?"
Tang Bao proudly raised her adorable double chin and said smugly, "With Tang Bao here! Tang Bao can make that little devil have a backlash whenever she wants!"
Chu Yilin looked at the smug little dumpling with amusement and chuckled, "Yes, Tangbao is the best!"
The young monk Huiyuan frowned and asked Tangbao, "Then shouldn't we perform a ritual to guide them to the afterlife?"
"Of course we need to perform a ritual to help them pass on! It's just not the right time yet!" Tang Bao's chubby and adorable little face was full of a sly smile like a fox.
Lin Qinghua asked Tang Bao with great curiosity, "Junior Uncle, what are you going to do?"
Tangbao covered her mouth with her chubby little hand and said mysteriously, "It's a secret!"
After saying that, Tangbao tried to put her hand into her pocket, but found that she was wearing a dress and didn't have any talismans. Her face fell immediately, feeling that she had lost face again.
