After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 438

Chapter 438: No One Can Bully My Fifth Senior Brother
Huo Ji’an was startled, instinctively exclaiming and covering his mouth as he looked inside.

There stood Lu Qing, blood trickling down his forehead, the impact leaving a swelling bruise. His fragile frame appeared even more pitiful.

Hearing the sound, Lu Qing turned his head and caught sight of Zhouzhou.

He was momentarily taken aback, instinctively raising a hand to shield his wound, his slender figure contorting as he managed a strained smile. “Zhouzhou, why have you come?”

Zhouzhou, trembling, didn’t hesitate. Without a word, she rushed over, arms outstretched.

Glaring at the figure on the bed, she bared her little teeth fiercely. “Why did you hit my fifth senior brother!”

She spoke each word deliberately.

Her chubby cheeks, soft and fair, radiated innocence, yet the fire in her eyes seemed capable of scorching through a soul.

Sun Mei, lying on the bed, felt a twinge of unease. Glancing at Zhouzhou’s stubby legs, she sneered disdainfully. “He’s my son. What’s wrong with me hitting him a few times?”

She then turned to Lu Qing, her eyes dripping with disdain. “He’s just a jinx. I’ve already done him a favor by letting him live this long. I’m his mother; even if I beat him to death, it’s only natural!”

At these words, Zhouzhou’s gaze darkened, her small body tensing with anger. She stared at Sun Mei, ready to strike.

No one could bully her Fifth Senior Brother!

But before she could act, Lu Qing restrained her. “Zhouzhou.”

He held her petite body gently, his voice tender as he whispered, “Let it go.”

Zhouzhou deflated suddenly, turning to look at him. Her eyes welled up instantly, and she reached out to touch his wound, afraid of causing him pain.

“Fifth Senior Brother, why would you let her keep doing this to you? She’s bullying you like this!”

Zhouzhou was furious and anxious, tears swirling in her eyes. As she spoke, she took out some hemostatic pills from her pocket, crushed them, and sprinkled them on his wound. She leaned in gently, blowing on it.

“I have medicine. I’ll apply it for Fifth Senior Brother. Don’t cry, I’ll blow on it for you.”

Her breath carried a scent of milk, warming Lu Qing’s heart a little.

“I’m fine.”

How could he be fine?

Zhouzhou’s tears flowed instantly. She reached out to hug him, rubbing his face tenderly, full of concern.

Suddenly remembering something, she turned to glare at Sun Mei. “Why did you hit my fifth senior brother!”

He’s such a good person, why would you hit him?

Sun Mei looked at them, sneering. “He’s disobedient. I asked him to ask his father for money, but he refused. I told him to do fortune-telling for CEO Zheng, who offered a hundred thousand just for a divination. Yet he still harbored smugness and refuse him. After idling away on the mountain for years, only knowing how to eat for free, he’s useless. I should have been harsher, just beaten him to death!”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou trembled with rage. “Do you know that Fifth Senior Brother is already short of life? He can’t casually do fortune-telling; it’s a matter of life and death!”

She was beyond angry.

Even though their master wanted to make money, he never let Fifth Senior Brother do fortune-telling for guests, nor did the other senior brothers ask him to draw talismans he didn’t want to draw.

They took care of Fifth Senior Brother so carefully, yet she tortured him like this!

Now she finally understood why Fifth Senior Brother’s bloodline was so shallow. With a mother like this, they should have cut ties long ago!

She glared fiercely at Sun Mei.

But Sun Mei remained indifferent, saying casually, “Then he should hurry up and do more fortune-telling while he’s still alive. It’ll earn us more money. Otherwise, when he dies, we’ll have to spend money to buy his coffin, which would be a big loss.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou couldn’t believe her ears. She turned to Lu Qing but saw no significant reaction on his face. It was as if he had long grown accustomed to it, and her heart was stabbed with pain.

Is this still his own mother? How could she be like this?

Zhouzhou turned to look at her, her eyes full of hatred, wishing she could beat her up on the spot.

But Sun Mei was also intimidated by her gaze and couldn’t help feeling annoyed. “Why are you looking at me like that? He’s my son, and he has to listen to me. You little brat, get out of here and mind your own business, or I’ll beat you!”

“Whom do you want to beat?” Just as the words fell, a cold voice came from outside.

Qin Lie walked in with a stern face, standing in front of Zhouzhou, instinctively taking a protective stance.

His presence exuded authority, making everyone feel a sense of pressure. Sun Mei subconsciously shrank back, a hint of panic flashing in her heart.

Who is this?

Ye Lingfeng chuckled lightly, leaning against the wall. He casually remarked, “Treating her biological son as a money-making machine and still justifying it. Zhouzhou, tell me, does such a person deserve to be called human?”

“No!” Zhouzhou’s voice was firm, and she glanced at Sun Mei’s face, humming lightly. “Fortunately, she won’t be human in her next life. She’ll be a stinky bug.”

“Is that so? Then she’s quite lucky. I never thought that she would reincarnate and have a next life.” Ye Lingfeng’s words were infuriating, but he remained calm.

Zhouzhou’s eyes darted around, and with a pinch of her chubby fingers, she chuckled, “It’s okay, it won’t be many lifetimes anyway.”

Their synchronized words sounded like curses, infuriating Sun Mei to the point of blushing, wanting to glare at them fiercely.

However, upon seeing Qin Lie, she felt a sense of unease. The man who had just spoken, although handsome, exuded a dangerous aura all around him.

Damn it, who on earth was this cheap son acquainted with? Why hadn’t he been brought home earlier?

With such connections, why hadn’t they benefited from them? This son was utterly useless, just an ungrateful brat!

Though Lu Qing covered his eyes, his senses were keenly attuned, and he almost instantly perceived her thoughts, feeling a chill run down his spine.

So this was his biological mother, so cold-hearted.

Zhouzhou also sensed it, immediately hugging his neck tightly, leaning in to kiss his cheek, then glaring fiercely at Sun Mei. “If you dare to bully my fifth senior brother again, I’ll beat you!”

Even if there were karmic repercussions, she accepted them. She couldn’t let Fifth Senior Brother be bullied for nothing!

Sun Mei looked at her, wary of Qin Lie and Ye Lingfeng’s presence, not daring to speak. She silently attributed this to Lu Qing.

Seeing her expression, Zhouzhou sneered inwardly. She knew Sun Mei wasn’t a good person at a glance.

With a subtle movement of her wrist, a talisman flew towards Sun Mei, swiftly landing under her bed. Sun Mei didn’t notice the action.

Lu Qing did, however. He gripped her hand, somewhat disapproving. Not because he was concerned about Sun Mei, but because he didn’t want Zhouzhou to bear the karmic consequences.

Zhouzhou shook her head, unconcerned. Her chubby face buried in his embrace, she muttered, “No one can bully you.”
