After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 441

Chapter 441: Protecting Our Fifth Senior Brother
The bodyguard pretended not to notice Huo Mingxuan’s displeasure, striding forward briskly and lifting each of them up in his arms.

Zhouzhou and Huo Ji’an immediately leaned against the window, peering intently across.

The bodyguard also leaned over, his head touching theirs, curious. “How can a mother do such things to her own child?”

“Indeed,” Zhouzhou imparted some gossip to him, “Uncle Sweetie, let me tell you, karma will catch up with her. That villain will be reborn as a stinking bug in the next life, and in the life after that, they won’t even qualify as a bug, all because of her wickedness.”

The bodyguard looked astonished. “Serves her right, for treating people so poorly.”

“Absolutely,” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, fully in agreement.

Huo Ji’an added, “With a mother like that, our Fifth Senior Brother should disown her. Zhouzhou, see if you can find any other mothers for him, we’ll help him find one.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Mingxuan on the bed looked like his face would turn as dark as charcoal.

So, this was how he found Yu Ze, wasn’t it?

He clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, his expression darkening.

Zhouzhou actually calculated with her chubby little hand, then shook her head regretfully. “No, Fifth Senior Brother’s blood ties are shallow, he won’t be able to find another mom in this life.”

“How unfortunate,” Huo Ji’an sympathized. “Unlike me, if one dad doesn’t suffice, there’s always a better one waiting.”

The bodyguard wisely refrained from commenting on this, not daring to turn around, silently shifting away from Huo Mingxuan’s gaze.

Huo Mingxuan took a deep breath, turning his head to look out the window, out of sight, out of mind.

However, the two little ones were chatterboxes, chattering incessantly, and his attention was inadvertently drawn to them, subconsciously looking at Huo Ji’an.

After some time apart, he seemed to have gained some weight and become more cheerful, more talkative than before, and his temper had improved.

At this thought, a moment of confusion flashed in his eyes. Was he truly happy following Yu Ze like this?

He stared at Huo Ji’an, who didn’t even glance back at him, having disregarded him since entering.

His fingertips involuntarily curled up, Huo Mingxuan slowly averted his gaze, looking out the window.

This time, his eyes held a hint of bewilderment.

“Chubby Girl, what if your Fifth Senior Brother can’t defeat the big villain?” Huo Ji’an curiously asked.

“Don’t worry,” Zhouzhou patted her little chest, “I’ll protect my fifth senior brother!”

With that, she slapped a thousand-mile ear charm onto her own forehead, handing one to Huo Ji’an and the bodyguard as well, sticking their ears to the door, listening intently.

Soon, the conversation between Sun Mei and Lu Qing became clear.

In the ward, Sun Mei still wore her sharp and acerbic expression as she pointed her finger at Lu Qing, angrily scolding, “What do you mean by this? Are you going to stand by and watch me starve to death? Can we afford to offend Mr. Zheng?”

Lu Qing stood by, looking indifferent. “If you didn’t told him about me at the first place, we wouldn’t be in this situation.”

They hadn’t known Mr. Zheng before, and after he left the mountain, he rarely practiced fortune-telling for others, his reputation not widely known.

It was his biological mother who, eager to establish a connection with Mr. Zheng, eagerly presented herself.

Just now, he had briefly explained to Zhouzhou outside.

In fact, Mr. Zheng hadn’t earned a single penny legitimately since he started his business. The troubles his company faced this time were just retribution, beyond resolution.

Unless someone was willing to sacrifice their life to save him, to bear the consequences for him.

But why should he do that for him?

There was only one person in this world that he was willing to sacrifice for with his life. And that person was Zhouzhou.

With that in mind, Lu Qing turned his head to look outside the door, noticing something. His eyes paused, his lips curling into a faint smile.

This girl…

Lu Qing didn’t know what he had seen, but seeing him still dare to smile, he suddenly became furious, grabbing something from the table and hurling it at him.

“You useless waste! What use are you? If I knew, I would have strangled you to death when you were born!”

Upon hearing this, the smile at the corner of Lu Qing’s mouth faded, his gaze fixed firmly on her.

For some reason, even though his eyes were still covered, Sun Mei couldn’t shake the feeling that he could see her, sending a shiver down her spine.

The next moment, she was furious again.

“You despicable wretch, how dare you glare at me! Get lost, stay far away from me, don’t let me see you again!”

Coincidentally, he didn’t want to see her either.

Without a word wasted, Lu Qing simply turned and walked out.

Watching his departing figure, Sun Mei’s gaze turned dark.

After a while, she took out her phone, made a call, and as soon as the call connected, her tone turned obsequious. “Mr. Zheng, it’s me, Sun Mei, do you remember me?”

“My son, he’s from Sanqing Temple, his fortune-telling is accurate. With him around, he will surely help you through this difficult time.”

“Don’t worry, you’re Mr. Zheng, it’s his fortune to help you. Tomorrow, I’ll send him to your house. He has a bit of a temper, as you know, he’s a Taoist, a monk, aloof, but that’s not a problem. You just need to talk to him then, he will surely come up with a solution for you, any means necessary, he’s thick-skinned.”

The last sentence was as good as saying she would beat him up.

Zhouzhou listened, her anger boiling over, her little fists clenched tightly, wishing she could rush over and give her a beating first.

As she was about to rush out, she heard someone knock on the door.

Turning her head, she was met with Lu Qing’s smiling face.

Zhouzhou: “!”

When did Fifth Senior Brother come over?

The bodyguard was also startled, taking a step back and asking, “Do you want me to open the door?”

“Of course.” Without waiting for him, Zhouzhou wobbled over on her short legs, opened the door, and stuck out her little head, ingratiatingly saying, “Fifth Senior Brother.”

Lu Qing sighed helplessly, “Didn’t you say you were going home? Why did you follow me? And hiding here.”

“I’m worried about you.” Zhouzhou shook her hand, looking up at him with her chubby face, “I’m afraid you’ll get bullied.”

“I wouldn’t even have the heart to tease you.” She hugged him tightly, her little face pressed against his palm, her voice somewhat resentful.

How could they let their Fifth Senior Brother, whom they guarded so closely, be bullied like this?

Even if that person was his biological mother!

Born but not raised, what kind of mother was that?

Lu Qing smiled, stroking her small face reassuringly. “Don’t worry, Junior Sister, I have my own plans.”

Zhouzhou looked at him, not saying anything. After a while, she suddenly spoke up, “Fifth Senior Brother, are you still going to meet that Mr. Zheng?”

There were faint signs of rupture in the bloodline on his face, but it wasn’t so easy. The final blow was often the hardest, so it had to be quick and accurate.

He couldn’t possibly let go of such a good opportunity that came knocking at his door.

But…

Zhouzhou looked at his troubled expression, her face serious.

She could see that Fifth Senior Brother’s calamity was approaching fast!
