When Lu Zihan arrived home, the unknown guest was still in the reception room.

Lu Zihan had been told by his elders long ago that there would be distinguished guests at home today, so he hurried upstairs.

In the evening, the door of the reception room opened.

The servants lowered their heads and dared not look directly.

From their perspective, all they could see was a pair of long legs wrapped in expensive suit fabric and shiny leather shoes.

"Mr. Gu, are you really not going to stay for dinner? Our chef's cooking skills are pretty good."

The voice was cold and deep: "Goodbye."

"Okay, okay. I'll take you there. Mr. Gu, this way please."

Everyone didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the gentleman personally saw the distinguished guest off.

"I worked in other families before I came to the Lu family. To be honest, the Lu family is already considered an upper-class wealthy family. I really can't imagine what a family richer than the Lu family is like."

"I just searched online. The shoes Mr. Gu wore were high-end custom-made. The cheapest button in that store costs 30 yuan."

"Alright, alright, stop talking about it. Didn't Butler Lu tell you that 100 Lu families can't compare to this guy? You think their lives are too easy, don't you? How dare you talk about this guy?"

The others' faces turned pale instantly and they quickly found their respective positions and got busy.

During dinner, Father Lu was beaming with joy: "Mr. Gu is interested in cooperating with our family. If this deal goes through, our Lu family will be able to move up two levels at least."

Hearing this, Lu Zihan was also very excited.

Mother Lu nodded happily. "Fortunately, we knew in advance that Mr. Gu was going to return to China. When he was still in junior high school more than a decade ago, he was able to help Gu's company negotiate a cooperation worth billions. Later, he went abroad to study and successfully developed Gu's company overseas. Now that Mr. Gu is returning to China, I'm afraid there will be chaos in China."

Father Lu smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? We will follow the Gu family, so we won't have to worry about anything."

He looked at Lu Zihan and said, "Zihan, you will take the college entrance examination next year. Have you decided what major to choose?"

Lu Zihan put down his chopsticks and slowly curled his lips: "Of course it's finance. I will lead our Lu family to a higher level."

"Okay!" Father Lu nodded happily. "Good boy, you have never been a worry to us since you were little. You have always made us proud. I am most relieved to leave the Lu family to you in the future."

At this point, Father Lu suddenly curled his lips and said, "Lu Zizhong, stop causing trouble for me all day long and learn more from your elder brother! I heard that you played outside this afternoon and got a whole house full of water when you got home?"

No one responded.

Father Lu slapped the table unhappily: "Lu Zizhong, are you mute?"

He raised his eyes and looked towards the edge of the table. The person who always sat far away from them was no longer there.

Father Lu was stunned for a moment, then frowned unhappily: "Where is Lu Zizhong? He has been spoiled to such a bad state that he doesn't even eat?"

Mother Lu was stunned for a moment. She put down her chopsticks and waved to the side: "Go and call the young master to come down for dinner."

Father Lu stopped the servant and said, "If he doesn't want to eat, just let him starve. What? Do you want me, as his father, to go and invite him in person?"

Hearing this, Mother Lu touched Lu Zihan's head and sighed softly: "I originally wanted to give you a little sister, so that when she grows up, she won't compete with us Zihan for the family property. During the prenatal checkup, every hospital said it was a little girl. Who knew it would turn out to be a bad boy?"

Father Lu: "Zi Han, you are the eldest son of the Lu family. You will have the final say in the Lu family from now on. Your brother is no threat to you."

Lu Zihan didn't react much. He nodded calmly and said, "It's okay for my brother to be a little naughty. I won't shortchange him on food and clothing."

Father Lu and Mother Lu looked at each other and smiled with relief.

"Our Zi Han acts like a big brother."

The family of three had a pleasant dinner together, and no one mentioned Lu Zizhong again.

at night.

Zhong Yao was sleeping soundly with his three children in his arms. Even Hei Yao took out his box from the space, placed it on Zhong Yao's bedside table, and fell asleep peacefully.

Suddenly, Obsidian and Moonlight opened their eyes at the same time, the ink-black and silver-blue colors met, and both saw the answer in each other's eyes.

After a few breaths, Amber rubbed her eyes and woke up.

It was rare for her to lose her usual dark and arrogant look, and her voice even had a soft, sleepy tone.

"Is there a superpower nearby?"

Moonlight glanced at Zhong Yao.

My mother had just experienced a life-and-death experience not long ago, and her spirit and physical strength had not yet recovered. If it were normal, she would have woken up long ago, but at this moment she was sleeping soundly holding Tourmaline.

Moonlight whispered, "I'll go take a look."

Hei Yao stretched and stood up: "I'll go with you."

Amber was rubbing her eyes to wake herself up, but when she heard Obsidian's voice, she immediately became much more awake.

She lowered her voice and said, "No!"

Hei Yao had a folding fan in his hand. He held the fan and tapped Amber's head gently. "You stay and protect her."

It's self-evident who she is.

Obsidian didn't use any force. Amber touched his head, which didn't feel any pain at all, and stared at him for a while.

She resigned herself to sitting next to Zhong Yao, waved her hand to open the defensive barrier, and muttered "what a nuisance" under her breath.

Hei Yao curled his lips, his eyes flashing with an intoxicating smile.

In the dark night, two small figures left the Jiang family quietly.

Hei Yao stood in the air and saw the small figure curled up on the bed through the glass.

His entire body was tightly wrapped under the quilt, with only half of his head exposed. The skin color that showed through was abnormally red, and even had a faint sense of death. Even through the quilt, one could see that he was trembling.

Moonlight: "It's a child."

Hei Yao added: "It was the naughty kid who was trying to scam people at the artificial lake during the day."

"Ordinary humans have an extremely small chance of activating their superpowers after having a fever." Obsidian blinked, "No wonder there are superpower fluctuations."

"It's a shame, most people can't make it through this." He looked at the moonlight, "No threat, let's go, little Amber will be worried."

Moonlight ignored him and walked forward and opened the window.

Hei Yao was stunned for a moment, "What are you doing?"

Yue Guang turned around, glanced at him calmly, and said simply: "Save him."

Hei Yao looked at her in surprise. He never expected that this seemingly indifferent puppet would choose to save people without hesitation.

He stared at her quietly, a strange smile slowly appearing at the corner of his lips.

Suddenly, he couldn't help laughing: "How kind."

The moonlight wrapped the child on the bed and the quilt together and carried him on his shoulders.

She was about to jump out of the window when she suddenly heard Hei Yao's laughter and looked up at him.

After a pause, Moonlight said, "I have a question I've always wanted to ask you."

Hei Yao raised an eyebrow and nodded curiously.

"You seemed surprised to know that my mother had family and friends."

"Ah, this is a question." Hei Yao turned his head and chuckled, "Because my mother has always been very lonely, without family or friends. In fact, because of her extremely high talent and abilities, she is regarded as a thorn in everyone's side, and everyone is afraid of her."

Hei Yao's eyes curved with laughter, and his dark pupils became even more unfathomable under the moonlight.

“No one loves her.”

Moonlight frowned slightly, rarely showing a trace of emotion: "Nervous."

"Your mother has no friends. What does that have to do with my mother? Does it mean that my mother will be the same as your mother just because we both practice puppetry?"

She left Hei Yao behind and said another word.

Obsidian heard it.

He blinked, and suddenly raised his head and laughed until his eyes became wet and tears rolled down his cheeks.

Moonlight said: "My mother, many people love her."
