After dinner, Lao Xu sent Zhong Yao home. When they drove to the gate of the community, Zhong Yao asked him to stop.

"Just send it here."

Chu Ci hated the Jiang family. If he went in, it would only cause him more trouble, so he just sent him to the door.

Chu Ci hugged Zhong Yao reluctantly: "Sister, I have been resting these days and have accumulated a lot of work. I will start working non-stop tomorrow, so I may not have much time to contact you. But sister, no matter what happens, you can come to me, understand?"

Zhong Yao smiled and nodded, and forwarded the list of national chain stores that Butler Jiang had compiled for her to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci asked in confusion: "What is this?"

"Jiang's nationwide chain store, just tell me my name."

Seeing Chu Ci showing a look of disgust, Zhong Yao patted him on the shoulder and advised: "It's my father's money, it's a waste if you don't spend it."

Chu Ci thought about it and felt that it was true. He could eat and use it for free and it would disgust Jiang Tao!

Zhong Yao got off the bus and walked home. When he was almost at the artificial lake, he suddenly heard a cry for help.

Zhong Yao ran towards the sound and saw a small figure splashing in the artificial lake.

"Help, help me..."

Zhong Yao was about to go into the water when he was suddenly stopped by Amber.

"Mother, leave him alone, let's go back."

Moonlight and Tourmaline looked at Amber in confusion, and Zhong Yao was also stunned.

Because she knows Zhong Yao's bottom line, Amber never loses her temper over matters involving human lives.

Hearing the cry for help, Hei Yao pushed the box away and sat up.

He yawned and rubbed his sleepy eyes. "What's that sound? I think I heard someone shouting for help?"

Moonlight questioned Amber with her eyes, and Tourmaline also looked at her puzzledly.

Seeing that the two were looking at Amber, Hei Yao was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look over.

Amber narrowed her eyes and asked impatiently, "What are you looking at?"

Hei Yao: "...This little temper, Amber, you are too vindictive."

"What do you care!" Amber said with rage.

Hei Yao asked Zhong Yao: "Isn't the child almost out of strength? Are you really not going to save him?"

Zhong Yao called her: "Amber?"

Amber folded her arms and snorted, "Don't worry about him, mother."

Seeing that the child's movements were getting quieter and quieter, Zhong Yao felt a little anxious. But she believed in Amber, the black-hearted little lotus would never do anything to make her uncomfortable.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Amber's face turned slightly red. She bit her lower lip and finally shouted in desperation: "I am a naughty child myself, how can I not know what it is like for a naughty child to be a jerk? Mother, look at him, how can his little arms and legs flutter for so long? The artificial lake is only a tiny bit high, how could he drown?!"

Zhong Yao: “…”

Moonlight, Tourmaline: "..."

Hei Yao chuckled and a light laugh escaped from his throat.

He opened his folding fan with a swish and covered the corners of his lips with it, but it did not hide his curved eyebrows.

Amber was made fun of by Hei Yao, and her face turned red with anger. She walked up to Hei Yao and stomped hard on his foot, then turned around and crawled into the quilt and ignored him.

Hei Yao: “…” How childish.

Zhong Yao came back to his senses and looked at the artificial lake, only to find that the lake only looked deep, but was actually very shallow. It seemed that this safety factor had been taken into consideration during the construction.

The child fluttered on the shore. Zhong Yao poked him with his hand and said with a smile: "There are only a dozen families in this villa area. Whose naughty child are you?"

Child: “Help…”

The kid was pretending really well, his voice was intermittent and seemed extremely weak.

Zhong Yao smiled and said, "No."

Child:"???"

She shook the water off her hands, smiled helplessly, and turned away.

Behind him, the child stood up with a bang.

He shouted at Zhong Yao in disbelief: "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you help him?"

Zhong Yao didn't even turn his head, but waved his hand behind him, with a hint of teasing in his voice: "The wolf is coming~"

Child:"……"

This person wanted to tell him that if he kept playing tricks like this, he would be like the shepherd boy in the fable. If a wolf really came one day, no one would save him.

But, this was clearly her first time, so how did she know it was fake?

The child was puzzled, so he climbed out of the artificial lake, wrung out his wet clothes, and walked towards home.

Lu family.

Everyone was busy receiving the distinguished guests.

Even though Lu Zizhong walked in dripping wet, no one noticed him.

The door of the reception room on the first floor was closed, and a group of servants were guarding the door with tea, snacks and everything in between, ready to be served as soon as they were summoned.

Lu Zizhong lowered his head dejectedly, without saying a word, and went upstairs alone in silence.

Downstairs, the servant who was in charge of feeding the fish almost slipped.

She whispered, "Who mopped the floor today? Didn't you see the water stains? Luckily I was the one who almost slipped. If you offend the guests, you will see how the gentleman and the lady will deal with you."

Two people came out and nervously wiped all the water stains on the ground with a clean towel. Only then did they realize that the water stains first appeared at the door and spread all the way upstairs.

"Look at these footprints, is it the young master?"

Another person frowned and said, "Young Master is really good at causing trouble for others."

The man nodded. "That's right, he plays with water, why does he make water everywhere?"

"I'll clean upstairs, you clean up downstairs."

"it is good."

Upstairs, Lu Zizhong skillfully found some clothes to change into, ran some hot water, and climbed into the bathtub to soak.

But the strange thing is that I actually felt a little sleepy at this moment, and my head was a little hot and dizzy.

Lu Zizhong soaked for a while, changed into clean clothes, and got into bed.

Jiang family.

Jiang Yuetong sent Lu Zihan downstairs.

Tong Wan smiled and said, "Zi Han, why don't you play for a while longer? During the month you were training for the competition, Tong Tong was talking about you every day."

"Mom!" Jiang Yuetong cried out tenderly, and looked at Lu Zihan with a red face, "Brother Zihan, don't listen to what my mom says."

Lu Zihan smiled and touched the top of Jiang Yuetong's head, with a doting tenderness flashing in his eyes: "The training is over. You can see me anytime before school starts."

Jiang Yuetong blushed and nodded, "I, I'll take you there."

Zhong Yao came back staggeringly, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw two people who were about to go downstairs, and Tong Wan who was sitting in the living room on the first floor. Butler Jiang was standing at the door, apparently preparing to see the guests off.

She raised her eyebrows, "Ms. Tong, do you have guests?"

Tong Wan opened her mouth awkwardly: "She's Tongtong's good friend."

Zhong Yao said "oh" and turned to look at Butler Jiang: "Butler Jiang, is grandpa in the room?"

Butler Jiang shook his head and said, "The old man went out to meet an old friend this afternoon. He will probably be back before dinner."

Zhong Yao nodded, "Then I'll take a nap first, call me for dinner."

Butler Jiang nodded slightly: "Dinner will be served at about 6 o'clock tonight. I will use the smart butler to set a reminder for you."

Zhong Yao raised his hand to make an OK gesture, then walked upstairs. When he passed Lu Zihan, he nodded slightly at him as a greeting.

Seeing that Zhong Yao had disappeared, Lu Zihan came back to his senses in a daze, "Who was that person just now?"

Jiang Yuetong pursed her lips and looked unhappy: "Brother Zihan, you just came back, so I'm not sure yet. The invitation should have been sent to your house."

Seeing that Jiang Yuetong didn't want to talk about it, Lu Zihan gentlemanly didn't bring it up again, but he felt a little more annoyed with Zhong Yao.
