Chapter 119: Wonton Shop

Jiang Pingcheng and Xiao Yan are both very good, so they were able to produce a child like Jiang Luo.

Just Jiang Pingcheng older, out of shape, once handsome to middle age has lost seven or eight points. But vaguely from his eyebrows and eyes, you can still see Jiang Luo's appearance.

Xia Qin kissed between Jiang Pingcheng's eyebrows and gave a smile.

*

Jiang Luo remembered some disgusting things, he didn't want to stay in Jiang's house any longer, people informed the host family and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he took Chi You back to his room.

He remembered that when he left the house, he forgot to take one thing with him. He wanted to look for it, to see if he could find it in the mirror world.

Jiang Pingcheng rushed over as soon as he received the news. With lipstick marks on his face, he said comically, "Mr. Ji, I have a business deal I'd like to talk to you about, and it's sure to be a good one for you, so could you come with me to the study?"

Chi You sat leisurely in his chair, until Jiang Pingcheng's smile could hardly hang on, then he lazily got up, "Let's go."

The two of them left one after the other. Jiang Luo continued to pack and organize his things, he stood in front of the closet, and after feeling through the whole closet, he finally found a small metal box in the corner.

Jiang Luo sighed when he touched the metal box.

He was looking for something just to prove the connectivity between the mirror world and the present world. The person behind the curtain was so powerful to such an extent that even the personal money he had stashed away in the present world could find a counterpart here.

Jiang Luo took the iron box out and walked to the table to sit down. He opened the lid of the box, inside dozens of copper plates and a dozen pieces of foreign currency, converted into modern money is also four or five thousand. Jiang Luo thought that he used to be able to save money, he took out a piece of ocean and played with it, but the open door of the room was closed by a person, with a fragrance, the person walked to Jiang Luo's side.

Jiang Luo didn't look back.

The woman came up behind him, her arm resting gently on the back of the chair, and asked gently, "Young master, how are you staying at Chi family?"

"Not bad." Jiang Luo's tone was light.

Xia Qin sighed reassuringly, "Not bad at all."

The atmosphere fell silent as Jiang Luo carelessly turned the ocean around his fingertips, looking as if he did not want to say anything more. Xia Qin, however, seemed to be unable to understand him, and gently brushed her fingers over the back of Jiang Luo's head, "Young master, when the master decided to send you to the Chi family, I thought about it for a long time, and didn't say anything to stop it."

Her words were unhurried, soft and firm, Xia Qin always seemed reliable, she was a very thoughtful woman, so Jiang Luo never looked through her.

"Because in these few years after that, Jiang family will become very messy. It's better for you to stay in the Chi family than in the Jiang family," Xia Qin slid down from Jiang Luo's shoulders, her jade-like hands encircling Jiang Luo's neck as she pressed herself against Jiang Luo's back, "When you come back again, the Jiang family will be a different story. "

Jiang Luo asked tersely, "Why did you do it."

He once asked Xia Qin the exact same question in the real world.

After he witnessed the infidelity, fifteen-year-old Jiang Luo returned to his room, disoriented.

Jiang Luo's mother is a coward who only knows how to obey her husband. Jiang Luo's father is even more of a monster, and when Jiang Pingcheng throws his fists at his wife and children, Jiang Luo is the only one who stands by his mother's side and protects her, bracing himself for the beatings; no one has ever stood in front of him to protect him from the wind and the rain.

Xia Qin was the first.

The first to protect Jiang Luo.

Again and again, she protects Jiang Luo in her arms. Xia Qin is not Jiang Luo's mother, and she is only a teenager older than Jiang Luo, but Jiang Luo feels a sense of security in her that he cannot find in his mother.

He couldn't believe the scene he just saw and sat alone at his desk, lost in thought. At this time, Xia Qin also came to his room.

She had no clothes on, and looked at Jiang Luo with eyes full of affection, her hand running down from Jiang Luo's cheek, her every move no different from the past.

Still gentle and careful.

Xia Qin seduces Jiang Luo, who is only fifteen years old.

Jiang Luo felt nothing but nausea and a collapse of trust. He dodged Xia Qin's hand and asked in a trembling voice, "Why did you do it."

......

Jiang Luo tossed the ocean in his hand onto the table as he said in a cold voice, "Get lost."

Xia Qin's hands stopped and she sighed, "I like you."

"But I will not be your wife at my age and in my position," Xia Qin straightened up, "and you will not marry me because you do not like me."

In that case, Xia Qin decides to seduce Jiang Luo's unprincipled father, at least that way, she can always be by his side.

She smiled and said, "When I become your mother, I will be able to protect you."

"Most importantly," she murmured, "when your father dies, the Jiang family will be mine, and so will you."

"Young master, you will be my child. I can take you far away."

Xia Qin's answer in the mirror world and what Xia Qin said in the real world gradually merged into one.

Fifteen-year-old Jiang Luo knows that Xia Qin harbors a hidden animosity toward her mother, which comes to a head each time Jiang Luo is injured trying to protect her.

Until that day, he had no idea what all this hostility represented.

Xia Qin is jealous of his mother because Jiang Luo's mother can have Jiang Luo forever.

At the age of fifteen, Jiang Luo is hit by an unspeakable darkness from the adult world.

Jiang Luo reported to the police.

He was a minor and called the police on the charge of attempted rape of a minor by a nanny. Because of this incident, Jiang Luo's mother, Xiao Yan, finally summoned up the greatest courage in her life and divorced Jiang Pingcheng.

Jiang Luo does not want to stay in the Jiang family at all, in a family that is so rotten that it makes him sick to his stomach. He and his mother left Jiang Pingcheng and went from a rich man's life to an ordinary one.

Jiang Luo thought it was the beginning of a new life, and it was, only life got worse.

His mother, Xiao Yan, began to regret and complain in her cramped life. Finally, one day, she couldn't help breaking down and crying to Jiang Luo, "Why did you call the police? If you hadn't called the police I wouldn't have divorced your father and we wouldn't be living this miserable life."

"I'd rather not know he cheated ......"

From that day on, Jiang Luo felt that this thing called kinship was really something to be scoffed at.

......

Xia Qin wanted to say something else, but the door of the room she had closed was suddenly kicked open. Chi You stood by the door, her back facing the sunlight, her face covered in a layer of shadow, her voice slightly cold.

"This ...... lady?" He said, "It is time for Jiang Luo and I to leave."

Jiang Luo stood up and walked past Xia Qin, he suddenly turned his head to look at Xia Qin.

There was not a single ripple in his eyes, as if Xia Qin was just a stranger to him.

Xia Qin's expression stiffened slightly.

She had thought of countless ways that Jiang Luo would behave when he learned the truth, whether it was hatred or disgust, she could never have imagined that Jiang Luo would behave in such a way.

"I forgot to mention that the Jiang family is disgusting," Jiang Luo shrugged and said with a slight sneer, "whether it's Jiang Pingcheng, Xiao Yan, or you."

He looked back, a smile even in his tone, "Thankfully, this is the last time we'll see each other."

After saying that, Jiang Luo walked out the door.

The two went straight out of the Chi family.

When the horseman dropped them off at Chi family in the morning, Chi You had instructed the horseman to pick them up in the evening, but now that they had left early, they had to walk back on their legs.

On the way, Jiang Luo asked, "What kind of business does Jiang Pingcheng want to do with you?"

"Merchant business," Chi You smiled with a curled lip, "The rumors of Bu Jiucheng being haunted have been spreading, and his casino business is on the verge of closing down and going bankrupt. He's lost a lot of money, and the money the Chi family gave to the Jiang family has been taken away by him to fill in the holes. This time, he wants to ship the casino's inventory out of town for trading. The Chi family specializes in ghost hunting, and he wants me to find a powerful Chi family member to go with him."

Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows, "A powerful Chi family member? Besides you, are there any other great Chi family members?"

Chi You froze slightly, then looked at him meaningfully, "How do you know I'm good?"

Jiang Luo asked rhetorically, "Aren't you great?"

Chi You didn't hold back a laugh, the pitch blackness under his eyes all seemed to become less dangerous, "Young Master Jiang's mouth, really doesn't give others a chance to gain the upper hand."

The two of them occasionally made such small talk that they soon walked to the haunted city. Jiang Luo was walking past a stall of wonton stores when he heard three men sitting at a table on the side of the road talking about hauntings.

"I heard that another one died last night, a horrible death, and was rushed to the righteous farm in the morning."

"Hiss - how bad was the death?"

"You're going to be scared when I tell you ...... Forget it, I have to eat ravioli in a while, I'd better not talk to you about his death."

Jiang Luo slowly stopped in her footsteps, looked at Chi You, and said seriously, "I'm hungry."

A minute later, the two men sat on the curb as well. The wonton store owner asked enthusiastically, "Do you two eat spicy food?"

Jiang Luo nodded and said boldly, "More!"

The boss said, "Okay!"

The wonton store was small, with only a place for the owner to cook, and the tables were outside, small and old, but clean. Chi You looked down at the scratches on the table, his posture upright, and although he looked different from the people around him, Chi You was too relaxed to look out of place.

He even had the leisure to joke with Jiang Luo, "Thanks to Young Master Jiang's blessing today, I had an extra bowl of rice that no one rambled on about."

Jiang Luo somewhat understood why Chi You had so many followers when he was alive.

He fell in love with the character of Chi You just by reading the text, and when he really got to know Chi You, whether he was a hypocrite when he was alive, or a terrifyingly strong and unpredictable figure when he was dead, he had a strong personal appeal.

It can make those followers of his unconsciously like him and revere him until their bodies and minds can't help but be manipulated by him.

Because he's so good at pretending.

Although Jiang Luo knew that the teenage Chi You had already put on a mask, he couldn't help but admire it. He couldn't tell which of Chi You's smiles and words were true or false.

Solely dealt with it directly by nature, "Shane."

Chi You laughed again.

Behind them, the three men went on to talk, "Whose family was that dead man?"

"You don't know that? The one who died was a boy from a Chi family."
