After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 908

Chapter 908: The Ancestral Master is Fooling the Kids Again
“Little Skinny Pole, remember to tell Uncle Huo to be careful when you go home from school. It’s dangerous outside,” Zhouzhou advised, walking with a worried expression.

Huo Ji’an nodded vigorously, “Got it, Chubby Girl. I’ll lock him up when I get back.”

“Sounds good!” Zhouzhou thought it was better to be direct with Uncle Huo, who seemed like someone who wouldn’t listen otherwise. She shook her head at the thought of such a thoughtless adult; it was really frustrating.

Soon, the teacher arrived, and Zhouzhou stopped discussing the matter, returning to her seat to take out her books.

The day passed quickly, and when school was over, Zhouzhou reminded Huo Ji’an once more.

Huo Ji’an nodded, succinctly summarizing, “Don’t go out, lock him up, and if he doesn’t listen, break his legs!”

Exactly! His eyes turned fierce as he said this.

Zhouzhou nodded appreciatively, pleased that he remembered, and then she left.

It had been several days since she last set up her stall; if she didn’t go soon, the Ancestral Master would surely scold her again.

Sigh, what a hard life! By the time she graduated from college, she could put on her resume that she had twenty years of work experience at the age of twenty-three.

So miserable.

Zhouzhou pouted, letting out a deep sigh. When she saw the Ancestral Master floating out, she immediately covered her ears. “Okay, okay! I’m going to set up my stall now!”

The Ancestral Master chuckled lightly; he hadn’t even spoken yet, and they were already in sync.

As Zhouzhou dashed to the car, she leaned against the window and told Huo Ji’an, “Remember!”

Huo Ji’an nodded earnestly, watching Zhouzhou leave.

Yu Ze, who had just finished a phone call, walked over curiously. “What’s going on?”

Huo Ji’an sighed heavily and repeated what Zhouzhou had said earlier.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ze’s expression changed slightly. “Your dad’s flight this afternoon already left for T Country. He should have landed by now.”

As he spoke, he hurriedly made a phone call.

No one answered; the phone was off.

Could something really have happened?

Yu Ze looked at Huo Ji’an, who also looked surprised.

They both knew Zhouzhou’s abilities and didn’t doubt her words for a second.

Even though Huo Ji’an didn’t like Huo Mingxuan, he still didn’t want anything to happen to him.

Feeling anxious, he hurried to find Zhouzhou.

Yu Ze quickly got in the car and was about to hit the gas when his phone suddenly rang–it was a message from Huo Mingxuan.

[Just landed. Is there something?]

His tone still exuded that air of superiority.

Yu Ze let out a breath he hadn’t realized he was holding and typed back quickly.

[Mr. Huo, Zhouzhou’s predictions are very accurate. She said you’re in danger, so please be cautious. If possible, come back quickly.]

Seeing this message, a hint of disdain flashed in Huo Mingxuan’s eyes.

He firmly believed Zhouzhou was just talking nonsense. Now that Yu Ze was saying the same, he became a bit impatient.

He sneered slightly.

He thought Yu Ze had some skills, but now it seemed he was just trying to flatter a child, or perhaps curry favor with Zhouzhou’s powerful relatives in the Qin family.

After all, in their line of work, such behavior was quite common.

Ultimately, it all boiled down to interests.

Feeling contemptuous, he casually replied with, “Got it,” then put his phone away and walked outside.

He asked his assistant beside him, “Is Moor here yet?”

Moor was his collaboration partner for this trip.

The assistant nodded. “Yes, he’s here.”

As he spoke, he spotted a man holding a sign with their names on it.

He hurriedly pointed, “Over there.”

Huo Mingxuan saw him too and walked over.

The man eagerly approached and said, “Are you Mr. Huo?”

“Yeah.” Huo Mingxuan nodded indifferently.

Seeing him so reserved, Moor didn’t say much either. “The car is outside, please.”

Huo Mingxuan followed him and noticed it was an ordinary car. Just as he was about to ask, it suddenly started raining heavily, so he got in first.

Moor took the driver’s seat and cheerfully said, “I’ve prepared some water for you next to you.”

His assistant, feeling a bit thirsty, opened the cap and handed the bottle to Huo Mingxuan. After he took it, the assistant took a drink as well.

Huo Mingxuan took a casual sip before putting it down.

The rain grew louder, and as he looked outside, he suddenly felt his vision becoming a bit blurry.

What’s going on?

He pressed his temples, frowning.

Suddenly, his assistant’s head drooped, and he fainted.

Seeing this, Huo Mingxuan’s pupils shrank, and he quickly turned to Moor, only to see a smirk on his lips reflected in the rearview mirror.

“You…”

Before he could finish a word, Huo Mingxuan’s vision went black, and he lost consciousness.

The only thought that lingered in his mind was Zhouzhou’s words.

–“Your kidneys are going to be taken.”

What a jinx!

“Fortune-telling! Two dollars a session! Don’t miss out!”

On the overpass, Zhouzhou was oblivious to what was happening on the other side. Propping her chubby face up, she shouted at passersby.

“Two bucks, you won’t regret it, you won’t be deceived!”

Some people chuckled and walked away, while others stopped to have their fortunes told.

Zhouzhou jingled her coins, and business was booming–she was almost talking herself hoarse.

Qin Lie noticed and, while waiting for the next customer, handed Zhouzhou a cup of water.

Zhouzhou hugged the cup and gulped it down, wiping the sweat from her forehead. She leaned against Qin Lie, murmuring, “I’m so tired.”

The Ancestral Master observed and lazily pulled up his pants legs, revealing his golden thighs.

Zhouzhou’s eyes were immediately drawn to them, filled with envy.

The Ancestral Master glanced at her and said, “If you have any problems in the future, just say it. I’m here for you!”

He patted his thigh loudly.

Zhouzhou’s eyes couldn’t tear away from his legs.

She touched her own little legs, shaking her feet; she had them too!

Now she felt like she walked especially steadily.

After all, she was the one stepping on gold!

Suddenly, Zhouzhou remembered something and felt a bit anxious. “Ancestral Master, will I need to accumulate a lot of merits when I grow to seven meters tall?”

She had been down the mountain for almost two years and had only accumulated a little for the Ancestral Master.

Her legs were much longer than his; wouldn’t it be harder?

The thought made her somewhat distressed.

She wanted long legs but also wanted to change her fate of being poor.

Let’s just grow to seven meters first–no need for a little shorty to worry about that.

The Ancestral Master silently criticized her, his eyes turning as he didn’t voice this thought. Instead, he solemnly nodded, patting Zhouzhou’s shoulder, saying, “You need to work harder from now on.”

“Okay!”

Zhouzhou rested enough and immediately sprang up, leaping out of Qin Lie’s embrace to shout again.

Qin Lie glanced at the Ancestral Master and chuckled.

Some people, at their age, were still shamelessly relying on the young!
