Chapter 91: Ninety, Family Affection

Luo Shan came to the door and saw Luo Jiansen sitting on the ground, gritting his teeth and rubbing his buttocks. She walked up to him and helped him up, "Dad, are you alright?"

Luo Jiansen looked fearfully at Fu Yi, who was still standing at the door, and shook his head, "Dad’s fine, just a bit hungry. Do you have any money on you?" From Luo Shu’s attitude toward him, it was clear that getting any favors from her was out of the question. It would be better to coax Luo Shan into helping him score some benefits. They were sisters after all, Luo Shu would surely not ignore Luo Shan.

Luo Shan dug out five neatly folded ten-yuan notes from her pocket and handed them to Luo Jiansen, "I have fifty yuan." This fifty yuan was still from the time she had asked her sister for money. After those traffickers took her away, they hadn’t searched her, so the money had always been on her.

Luo Jiansen’s eyes brightened, and he quickly took the money and stuffed it into his pocket as if fearing someone would snatch it away.

Wiping his eyes, Luo Jiansen looked at Luo Shan and said, "Xiao Shan, Dad’s life is so tough right now! I divorced Wang Liying, lost my job, and Second Fool’s Home is pressing me for debt every day. I can hardly go on living. Think of something to help Dad, won’t you?"

Luo Shan bit her lip and sniffled hard to keep her tears from falling, "Dad, I’ll think of something." But how could she help him if she didn’t earn money?

"You truly are Dad’s good girl. In the future, I will definitely treat you well," Luo Jiansen said, patting Luo Shan on the shoulder with a relieved smile.

Luo Shan’s nose tingled as she sniffed, and turning her head to glance at the doorway, she saw that Fu Yi had already gone inside, "Dad, I’m going in now. Take care of yourself." She wondered if her sister would be mad at her for coming out like this. But she couldn’t be as heartless as her sister and completely stop caring about Dad’s life or death.

Luo Jiansen nodded, patted Luo Shan, and spoke with a face full of guilt, "I wronged you all in the past. I won’t do it again. Xiao Shan, Dad is going to leave now. You go inside, don’t upset your sister." Now Luo Shu was his God of Wealth, and if Luo Shan were kicked out too, who would he ask for money in the future?

Watching Luo Jiansen hobble away, slowly disappearing at the end of the alley, Luo Shan’s long-restrained tears finally began to fall. Unbeknownst to her, Dad had really gotten old.

Luo Shu looked at Luo Zheng who had walked in, "Do you think I’m going too far?"

Luo Zheng shook his head, "No!" If it had been him, and someone wanted to sell him off to an idiot as a husband, he would not have forgiven them either. Not to mention if that person were a relative.

Luo Shu smiled slightly. They weren’t like her; there was no blood relation between her and Luo Jiansen, and she had even had a heart transplant, so it was only natural for her to be able to harden her heart towards Luo Jiansen. To her, Luo Jiansen was no different from a stranger.

But they were indeed connected to Luo Jiansen by blood, making it absolutely impossible for them to be heartless towards him, which was why she did not blame Luo Shan.

"Sister!" Luo Shan walked in, glanced at Luo Shu, and lowered her head. She dared not look Luo Shu in the eyes, fearing she might see her anger.

"Don’t bother making dinner for me. I’m going out and will be back very late," Luo Shu said as she stood up. She had planned to give them the wristwatch she bought today, but now, she had given up on the idea. Given Luo Shan’s personality, just a few nice words from Luo Jiansen would surely make her give him everything she had.

"Sister, are you mad at me?" Luo Shan asked timidly.

"No!" Luo Shu said indifferently.

"Sister, I’m sorry! But I couldn’t bring myself to ignore him; he’s our dad! He’s really pitiful now. Wang Liying has divorced him, he’s lost his job, Second Fool’s Home is constantly demanding repayment of debts." As Luo Shan spoke, her tears fell once more.

Luo Zheng’s lips were tightly pursed, and he didn’t make a sound. However, from his clenched fists, it was evident that he was struggling inside.

Luo Shu glanced at the two of them before standing up and heading outside. She felt very irritable now too; if Luo Jiansen wasn’t Luo Zheng and Luo Shan’s father, she would have given him a severe lesson, ensuring there wouldn’t be a next time.

But even if she did that, what then? If Luo Jiansen didn’t come knocking, would Luo Shan and Luo Zheng really have the heart not to see him?

She didn’t realize how long she had been standing in the courtyard until someone knocked on the door, bringing Luo Shu back to reality.

Looking up, she saw Luo Zheng had gone to open the door.

Zhou Chang smiled and nodded at Luo Zheng, "Hello! I’ve come to pick up your sister for the birthday banquet, is she here?" He naturally couldn’t miss this rare opportunity to be alone with Luo Shu.

"Sis, Big Brother Zhou is here." Luo Zheng stepped back to let Zhou Chang in. He had seen Zhou Chang yesterday at the Xu family’s place, so he wasn’t a stranger to him.

Zhou Chang entered and approached Luo Shu with a smile, the black suit lending him an air of refined elegance, "Luo Shu, my mom sent me to escort you to the banquet."

"Thank you! I’ve already made arrangements with my godmother; she will send someone to pick me up," Luo Shu said with a light smile, politely declining. Apart from Lu Hanmo, she didn’t want to have too much contact with other men.

"Aunt Xu and my mom have already gone ahead, and Xiao Zhang is tied up and can’t make it, so this honorable task has fallen into my hands. Beautiful Miss Luo Shu! Do I have the honor of being your Tchaikovsky?" Zhou Chang asked with a witty tone.

"Alright then, I’ll go get ready." Since he’d put it that way, it would seem rude if she declined any further. Besides, going to a birthday banquet naturally required preparing a gift.

Seeing Luo Shu retreat into the house, Luo Shan quickly wiped away the tears on her face, "Sis, please don’t be mad at me, okay?" Seeing her sister standing alone in the yard filled her with distress.

Luo Shu smiled faintly and shook her head, "I’m not angry, really!" What was the use of being angry over such matters? In this world, anything could be severed, but familial ties are something that can never truly be cut.

The nights of winter always arrive early.

By the time Luo Shu and Zhou Chang arrived at Zhou Xuemei’s home, the guests were already in full attendance.

Seeing them come in, Qin Lanxiang smiled and approached, "You’re finally here; your aunt has asked several times already." She had been waiting here for a long time and only relaxed when she saw Luo Shu arriving, worried that Luo Shu would refuse to take Xiao Chang’s car.

"Mom, do you really think so little of your son? My driving skills are top-notch," Zhou Chang said with a laugh.

Qin Lanxiang glared at Zhou Chang without amusement, "Always with the smooth talk, go over to your dad; he said he’s got some friends to introduce to you. Leave Luo Shu to me."
