After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 88

Chapter 88: Embracing the New, Who Needs the Old
“Bang!”

“Ah!”

Jin Jiajia, like a broken kite, was once again kicked into the wall.

This time, everyone could clearly see it. They slowly lowered their heads and gazed at the petite girl with a three-foot frame, dumbfounded.

Zhouzhou leisurely retracted her chubby legs, and took out a tissue to wipe her shoes, filled with pity. These were the new shoes her grandmother had bought for her, and she had managed to dirty them early in the morning. How unlucky!

Fuming with anger, the little girl rushed over and stood with her hands on her hips, saying, “You owe me a pair of shoes!”

Jin Jiajia was trapped in the wall, her whole body feeling like it was about to fall apart. Her face contorted in agony; she had no energy to respond to her words.

Witnessing the scene, the director also snapped back to reality and quickly said, “Call the police, call the police.”

What on earth was happening? Had she gone mad? How dare she wield a knife in public and harm someone. She must be sick.

The staff quickly nodded and were about to pick up the knife from the ground when Zhouzhou suddenly said, “Wait.”

She walked over, took out a talisman, wrapped it around the knife, and then handed it over, cautioning, “Hold it here, don’t touch it. There are impurities on it.”

Inside, there was a strong malevolent aura. If she had stabbed Third Elder Aunt just now, it wouldn’t have been as simple as getting injured.

This wicked woman was still thinking about harming others at this point.

Zhouzhou glared at her with anger.

Hearing her words, the staff member’s hand trembled, nearly throwing the knife away.

Impurities? Dirty things?

Was it the same dirty thing he had in mind?

However, as soon as Zhouzhou finished speaking, she ran towards Xiao Lan, leaving him frozen in place, afraid to move.

“Third Elder Aunt.” Zhouzhou ran up to Xiao Lan, circled around her twice, making sure she was perfectly fine and hadn’t touched anything. Only then did she relax.

Xiao Lan lowered her head stiffly and met the chubby little face of the little dumpling. There were still traces of milk on its cheeks, and she stared blankly, her gaze falling on Zhouzhou’s short legs, skeptical as she asked, “Is it made of iron?”

Otherwise, how could it kick someone into the wall with one foot?

Zhouzhou blinked, pinched the flesh on her leg, just like a butcher checking the quality, and the flesh on her chubby leg trembled along with it. She earnestly said, “It’s not made of iron, it’s soft. If you don’t believe me, Third Elder Aunt, you can touch it and see.”

Xiao Lan actually squatted down and touched it on the ground, looking silly. The assistant couldn’t bear to look straight at her and quickly pulled her up, reminding her that there were still cameras around.

At this moment, the director also walked over. “Xiao Lan, are you okay? Do you want to go back and rest for a while? We’ll give you a day off today.”

In front of outsiders, Xiao Lan immediately regained her noble and glamorous demeanor, devoid of any foolishness. After pondering for a moment, she didn’t refuse. “Alright, thank you, director.”

“You’re welcome. We should be grateful to this little friend,” the director said.

Otherwise, if something happened to Xiao Lan on their set, not only would the fans tear them apart, but even the Qin family wouldn’t let them off.

Thinking of this, the director felt a sense of fear.

Xiao Lan followed his gaze and looked at Zhouzhou. Her eyes softened, and she also said, “Thank you, Zhouzhou.”

Zhouzhou waved her hand generously and said, “You’re welcome, we’re family.”

She had promised to protect them.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan chuckled softly, and her gaze passed over Jin Jiajia, her expression turning serious once again.

When they left, the police had already arrived. They found many things in Jin Jiajia’s dressing room—sinister-looking dolls and various offerings that sent chills down people’s spines. What exactly was Jin Jiajia playing with from the underworld?

Zhouzhou peeked inside, took out a talisman, and threw it, swiftly landing on the doll. The talisman paper quickly dissolved into it, dispelling its malevolent aura, and rendering it unable to harm anyone.

Her movements were swift, and no one noticed this scene except for Xiao Lan, whose beautiful eyes flickered with deep thought.

It was only when they were sitting in the car that Xiao Lan asked softly, “Zhouzhou, did you already know about this matter, which is why you came with me?”

They weren’t particularly familiar before, so it was strange for her to suddenly accompany Xiao Lan to the set.

Moreover, Jin Jiajia had just been forcibly removed from the wall yesterday, and she hadn’t paid much attention to it at the time. It was only after seeing what had just happened that she realized it was Zhouzhou’s doing.

She didn’t seem surprised at all, as if she had known about it long ago.

Zhouzhou didn’t deny it either. She gestured with her chubby hand and proudly said, “Third Elder Aunt, I’m a little bit powerful, you know.”

She said “a little bit” while making a big circle with her hand, puffing up her chest, full of pride.

She was extremely adorable.

Xiao Lan looked at her and nodded seriously, “You’re really amazing.”

She had great strength, and it seemed like she had some other magical abilities.

Thinking about it, Xiao Lan’s gaze fell on the bag around Zhouzhou’s waist.

When they returned, Grandma Qin was somewhat surprised. “Why did you come back so early?”

Xiao Lan said, “Something happened, and the director gave us the day off.”

“What happened?”

This time it was Zhouzhou who answered. The little girl spoke clearly and explained the whole situation, “The bad woman wanted to curse and harm Third Elder Aunt, and she even wanted to stab her with a knife, but I kicked her away.”

Grandma Qin’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. Knowing that everything had been resolved, she exclaimed, “Oh my! My little Zhouzhou, what would we do without you?”

If it weren’t for her, this family might have fallen apart.

She once again felt fortunate to have met Zhouzhou.

Feeling Grandma Qin’s emotions, Zhouzhou hugged her happily and nuzzled against her, saying, “Then I’ll come find Grandma myself. Besides you, no one else wants to take care of me.”

Whether it was a temple or a Taoist temple, they would go bankrupt as long as she was there.

Only here, she wouldn’t be influenced by them.

Zhouzhou firmly believed that their connection was destined!

Upon hearing this, Grandma Qin suddenly remembered Zhouzhou’s words about being an abandoned baby. She touched her little face with some tenderness and hesitated, “Zhouzhou, do you want to find your biological parents?”

Most children would want to, right?

To her surprise, Zhouzhou shook her head without hesitation and said, “No.”

Grandma Qin was slightly surprised and asked, “Why?”

Zhouzhou spread out her small hand and pointed to a spot, saying, “Grandma, this is my previous bloodline connection, but the connection between me and my biological parents has become very weak.”

As she spoke, she moved her hand and continued, “This is the new bloodline connection, the one between me and Grandma and Dad. It’s very deep and strong. I already have you, so why do I need them?”

By the end of her words, she tilted her little head, seemingly puzzled as to why Grandma Qin would ask such a question.

They didn’t want her, so she didn’t want them either.

After all, Dad and Grandma would love her, so she wasn’t afraid.

Seeing the openness in her expression, Grandma Qin knew that she was speaking from the heart and breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s right. Zhouzhou is my biological granddaughter. Whether it’s adoption or not, it doesn’t matter. She’s my own flesh and blood!”

After talking with Zhouzhou for a while, Grandma Qin made an excuse and hurried back to her study to make a phone call.

“How did the investigation into Zhouzhou’s background go?” she asked.

“I found some information,” Qin Lie replied, flipping through the documents in his office, his gaze cold.

Sensing something off in his tone, Grandma Qin asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing serious. Just a minor issue.”

“Well, that’s good. Let me know when you have everything figured out.”

“Okay.”

The call ended quickly, and Qin Lie lightly tapped his fingers on the desk, his chill deepening.

When Grandma Qin went downstairs, she saw Zhouzhou sitting by the coffee table, holding a small stool and drawing on yellow paper with a cinnabar brush.

As she approached, she noticed several drawings already placed beside her.

She couldn’t help but be surprised and exclaimed, “Zhouzhou, are you drawing talismans so quickly?”

“Yes,” Zhouzhou looked up at her and said, “If I’m slow, I won’t get to eat.”

When she had just started learning to draw talismans, there were still many temple visitors. The master would grab her to draw talismans, and if she was slow, she wouldn’t get to eat because her senior brothers would finish all the food!

Hearing her words, Grandma Qin felt heartbroken and thought that Zhouzhou’s master was even more unreliable. What kind of person was he to make Zhouzhou work as a child and not even provide her with enough food?

And her irresponsible parents were even worse. They had abandoned Zhouzhou, such a wonderful child, in the cold and didn’t even care about her well-being.

Thinking about it, Grandma Qin furrowed her brows.

If she found out who that person was, she would definitely tear them apart!
