After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 129

Chapter 129: If I Had Known He Was Coming, I Wouldn’t Have Come
“Psst…” Chen Tuo took a sharp breath. This unlucky kid, who says someone will have bad luck early in the morning? How ominous.

He was afraid that his boss would get angry and throw the little girl out. After all, he had done that many times himself.

Just as he was about to plead for mercy, he turned his head and saw that Ye Lingfeng had no trace of anger on his face. He even had a hint of a smile, which surprised Chen Tuo even more.

Is the boss going crazy?

Ye Lingfeng ignored him and propped his right leg on his left leg, leisurely looking at the little girl who was holding his hand. “Do you have any solutions to ward off bad luck? Like a Protective Talisman or something.”

Zhouzhou’s eyes widened instantly, as if saying, “How did you know?” Her expression made Ye Lingfeng want to laugh even more.

He lowered his gaze and looked at her, and the frustration in his heart inexplicably dissipated.

Zhouzhou took out two talismans from her bag and gave one to him and one to Chen Tuo. She muttered, “Didn’t I give them to you before? Why didn’t you bring them?”

Chen Tuo didn’t expect to have one too. He grinned and said, “I changed clothes and forgot to bring it.”

“Your memory is really bad,” Zhouzhou commented, shaking her head. She then reminded them, “Keep them this time, and don’t forget to bring them when you go out in the future.”

Saying that, she looked at them with a look of genuine concern, which amused Ye Lingfeng even more.

She’s small but wise.

“How much do these talismans cost, Sister Zhouzhou?” Chen Tuo leaned over and asked.

Zhouzhou waved her hand. “They’re free, I’m giving them to you. If you run out, you can ask me for more. I’ll give them to you for free.”

After speaking, Zhouzhou glanced at the auspicious light shining above their heads, even though she didn’t know what they were doing. But with so much auspicious light, they must be good people.

She wouldn’t charge them money.

After saying that, Zhouzhou deftly let go of Ye Lingfeng’s hand and bounced over to Qin Lie, holding his hand. “Let’s go, Dad.”

Watching the two figures, one big and one small, leave, Ye Lingfeng’s mood sank again.

Chen Tuo didn’t notice and was still playing with the talisman in his hand, marveling, “I didn’t expect Little Money Lover to give away talismans for free.”

Just as he said that, his talisman was suddenly taken away. He turned around abruptly and looked bewildered. “Boss, what’s wrong?”

Ye Lingfeng didn’t change his expression and said, “Didn’t I give it to you before? Go back and get it.”

“Isn’t this another one given by Zhouzhou?” Chen Tuo was puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng put the talisman into his own pocket right in front of him. “If you don’t want it, then let’s go.”

Chen Tuo: “???”

Didn’t he want it? Clearly, he snatched it away!

He didn’t expect his boss to be like this!

Angry but unable to say anything, Chen Tuo thought of Zhouzhou’s solemn expression and reluctantly got out of the car, running back to his room to take out the talisman from his pocket. Then he realized something was wrong.

Didn’t Zhouzhou give him several talismans before? Why is there only one left now?

For some reason, the face of Ye Lingfeng popped up in his mind at the first moment. Chen Tuo was furious and somewhat incredulous.

Didn’t he used to not believe in these things? When did he start liking this kind of stuff?

Or was it because it was a gift from Zhouzhou?

Why does he want Zhouzhou’s stuff?

He always felt that something was off with Ye Lingfeng recently. Chen Tuo didn’t want to delay any longer and hurried back to the car, giving Ye Lingfeng a strange look.

Coincidentally, Ye Lingfeng looked up, glanced at him, and said calmly, “Aren’t you leaving?”

“Right, right, let’s go.” Putting aside his thoughts, Chen Tuo said, “Boss, how do you think these fake medicines made it into the market?”

A couple of days ago, they suddenly received a task to investigate the source of a batch of counterfeit medicines. It was said that initially, taking the medicine made people feel better instantly, but after a short while, their previous illnesses would resurface and worsen.

Moreover, it was specifically targeted at some old cadres. Who would believe that there was no foul play involved?

“Money can make the devil turn the grindstone.” Ye Lingfeng lightly tapped his leg with his fingertip and casually said, “Let’s go, once we catch the person, we’ll know everything.”

“That’s true.” Not saying anything more, Chen Tuo nodded and immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

–

At the same time, Zhouzhou had just arrived at the Mu family’s place and saw a familiar person coming out. She exclaimed, “Hanqiu, what are you doing here?”

This little girl, who was only four years old, called out the name of a seventy-year-old man, which seemed strange no matter how you looked at it.

However, something even stranger happened next. Liu Hanqiu saw her and his face lit up with joy as he exclaimed, “Master!”

Upon hearing this address, Mu Zhan’s footing slipped, almost causing him to fall.

Did he mishear it?

Mu Xuan was also surprised, but he remembered something and his lips curled up. He glanced at his dad, whose eyes were almost popping out, and said, “I’ve already said it before, Zhouzhou’s medical skills are even better than our master’s.”

But his master couldn’t compete Liu Hanqiu!

Mu Zhan wiped the sweat off his forehead and felt that the world was too crazy. He was truly getting old, and the next generation was too formidable.

Ignoring his expression, Liu Hanqiu quickly walked up to Zhouzhou and respectfully replied, “Master, I came to treat Old Master Mu’s illness.”

He came?

Zhouzhou was momentarily stunned, her little face full of confusion. She looked at Mu Xuan and pouted with a touch of grievance. “Eldest Senior Brother, don’t you believe me anymore? Why are you still looking for someone else?”

She sniffled, her eyes welling up with tears, and choked, “Aren’t I your favorite little junior sister anymore?”

“If I had known he was coming, I wouldn’t have come.”

“Of course.” Mu Xuan quickly stepped forward, picked up the little girl, and promptly shifted the blame. “Doctor Liu was called here by my dad. I don’t know why he did that either.”

Liu Hanqiu finally realized what was going on and hurriedly explained, “I didn’t know that Master was coming. Master’s medical skills are much better than mine. If I had known you were coming, there would have been no need for me.”

As he spoke, he looked at Mu Zhan with some complaint. “Mr. Mu, why are you instigating discord between us, master and disciple?”

He didn’t know either! Who could have imagined that he would accept a little girl as his master?

Mu Zhan felt embarrassed now. His usually calm expression couldn’t hold up anymore as he awkwardly said, “Sorry, I didn’t know. I thought Zhouzhou was still young.”

No wonder.

Zhouzhou slumped her short legs and puffed out her cheeks, looking displeased. “Uncle Mu, how can you judge people by their appearance? That’s not right.”

Mu Xuan smiled and gently patted her back. “Alright, don’t be angry anymore. Eldest Senior Brother has prepared some delicious food for you. Let’s go eat.”

“Okay!” As soon as she heard the word “food,” Zhouzhou instantly perked up. She didn’t dwell on what happened earlier and immediately shifted her attention. She swallowed her saliva and urged, “Let’s go quickly.”

Mu Xuan smiled, carrying her as they walked inside.

He had prepared all of Zhouzhou’s favorite dishes, so now her anger was completely gone.

After she finished eating, Mu Xuan wiped her hands and then spoke, “Zhouzhou, I’ve found out about the medicine Grandpa took.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s small face also became serious. “What’s going on?”

Speaking of this, Mu Xuan’s gaze darkened. He took out a pill from his pocket and said, “It’s this one. It was given to Grandpa by an old friend, and I made a phone call to confirm. The person who made this medicine is named Jonathan.”
