The boss patted his chest confidently and said: “Our shop has been around for centuries, quality guaranteed. Everyone who has used it says it’s great!”I was stunned! I couldn't help but steal a glance...And what about it I was waiting for my senior brother's next words, but his phone rang.
He winked at me and ducked back into his office to answer the phone.
I sat on the sofa in the reception room, drinking tea. A secretary sister brought me some snacks.
"Miss Yin, Mr. Xue, I brought some snacks over. What would you like to try We have matcha cake, black forest cake, and mango pudding." The secretary politely placed the tray on the table.
I licked my lips, the little snacks look so good!
Nineth senior brother was naturally my first choice, men generally aren't interested in sweets.
I picked up my little fork and reached for the Black Forest cake. A sudden sharp pain in my stomach made me almost drop the plate!
"Little Junior Sister, what's wrong with you" Ninth Senior Brother was startled.
I clutched my stomach, the pain making me want to scream. But in the end, I could only grit my teeth and say, "I... have a stomachache..."
The secretary was startled. She whispered, "Are you having a period cramp I have red sugar ginger tea at my counter. Would you like me to make you a cup"
"No no no... it's not a period..." I was in so much pain, I couldn't help but shake my head with a wry smile.
What's wrong, why can't I have cake!
From now on, I have to watch its "face" and "mood" when I eat
I refused to give up, clutching my stomach with one hand and picking up a fork to continue poking at the Black Forest cake. It took less than a second for me to surrender!
My five internal organs and six bowels felt as if they were being pulled apart, excruciatingly painful.
"I was sweating buckets and still thinking about food!" Ninth Senior Brother squatted beside me, lifting one of my legs and massaging my acupoints.
The inner side of the calf, three inches above the ankle, behind the medial border of the tibia. This acupoint communicates with the heart and kidneys, draws fire downwards, and rubbing both feet can relieve dysmenorrhea.
But I don't have a period! I just want to eat some snacks!
I cannot submit to this. What if I can't eat afterwards
This female gu is too willful!
I had one leg lifted by my ninth senior brother, my center of gravity shifted, and the small fork in my hand plunged into the mango pudding.
The pain in my lower abdomen suddenly stopped.
I paused, straightening up and rubbing my stomach. Although the pain wasn't completely gone, it was no longer sharp.
What does this mean Can I eat it
I drew my fork and continued towards the Black Forest.
Good heavens... it hurts again! What what what... It's not that I can't have sweets, is it It's that I can't have Black Forest cake, right
I suddenly jabbed the fork back into the mango pudding, and the female worm immediately calmed down!
My goodness... this fellow can still be picky!!
My ninth senior brother looked dumbfounded and asked in a daze, "Junior Sister, what on earth are you doing"
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, calmed myself down a little, and reached out to pick up the mango pudding. There wasn't the slightest reaction in my lower abdomen; the female Gu was so well-behaved.
When I tentatively took a bite, a tingling sensation of acid began to spread in my stomach — wow, this guy really likes this flavor
It's really ridiculous! This female gu is so willful and picky. I just eat whatever, and it's at most sniffing the smell! It even cares about this much!
The taste of mango is indeed sweet and rich, whereas the chocolate in Black Forest has a bitter taste. No wonder Black Forest gets upset and throws a tantrum whenever I touch it.
Everything around Mu Wanchen had a sense of life, like the mountain hawk with its wings flapping against my head, looking fierce and driving me away.
The seventh senior brother finished his work call and ran back to me, continuing, “This jade is very precious. In the past, high-ranking officials and nobles were hard-pressed to get even a single bead. They treasured it dearly. Look at your bracelet, there are nine beads in total!”
“This is still top-notch in terms of its texture and color, very valuable. Not only is it expensive, but people from the past considered this a religious relic. Great monks and renowned masters would use a single bead to carve a holy image, which served as a symbol of status. I once saw a top-quality one in Beijing – about the size of a date pit, carved into a Buddha's head. The owner said they wouldn't sell it for 100,000.”
Relic...
It's no wonder Mu Wanchen put the mechanism inside the altar.
But why would a relic be possessed by a vengeful female spirit After leaving that magical place, the ghost didn't appear again. Did it not follow
"Hey, little junior sister, what's wrong with you" Seventh Senior Brother stared at my eyes and said, "I found...you tend to daydream a lot. You got startled and lost your wits on just a simple trip out."
"Where's the lost soul…" I lowered my head and ate pudding, avoiding his sharp gaze.
“Sigh~~ I don't know if you're feeling lost or not, but I do know that the eldest brother is getting really anxious. Master and Mistress are both out, and if there's any problem at home, the eldest brother will blame himself, especially for Little Sister Yue and you. You two are the most precious treasures in this family, and nothing must happen to you, understand Don't be naughty anymore and give your elder brothers a break.”
"Oh…" I puffed out my cheeks in response.
"By the way, where did you get this bracelet" he suddenly asked.
“I... bought it myself...”
"Hmph, go ahead and boast. Can you afford it A string of such high-quality, top-notch Nine Star Lianzhu beads is rare and precious. These are auction-level pieces; no one would part with them for less than millions. Do you have a million in your allowance"
Well, of course not, a couple hundred bucks would be about right.
Seventh Senior Brother squinted his eyes, smiling mischievously —
"Little girl, come clean! Which rich second generation gave you this If you don't tell me the truth, I'll go to Big Brother and have him interrogate you."
Rich second generation Which rich second generation would sleep on a stone bed, live in a palace of stones, and wear a mask to conceal their true face!
"I'm definitely not some rich second generation, I'm a very poor person." I belittled him on purpose.
Seventh Brother raised an eyebrow and said, “Very poor, very poor Then why did he give you such a valuable thing Isn't he a fool This thing could be exchanged for money to sleep with many young models.”
"Senior brother~~ don't deliberately provoke me! I won't say!" I bared my teeth at him.
The Seventh Senior Brother chuckled and said, "Alright, you're an adult now. A very poor person giving you his treasure is more valuable than a wealthy person casually buying you a trinket. You should understand that in your heart."
"What do you know! I don't understand! You... don't tell Junior Brother, okay... This was forced on me by the other party, I didn't want it!" I muttered.
Seventh brother's laughter is so infectious! I felt embarrassed and quickly made up an excuse to leave.
As I and my ninth senior brother were walking back home after dinner, I spotted something dark near the rear wheel of our car when we reached the parking lot. I immediately called out to my ninth senior brother, warning him not to reverse.
"What's this" I crouched down and turned on my phone flashlight.
The Ninth Senior Brother took out a stainless steel baseball bat from the trunk and pushed it out.
It's a shoebox, inside which lies a kitten barely clinging to life.
I stood up angrily and looked around, yelling at the people nearby: "Who the hell threw the cat under someone else's car Are you trying to scam them"nds on his clothes, and went to the store to get a stool.A wicker chair, like a throne, was placed at the entrance of my family shop. My brother laughed and said, “Oh my, how amazing! How much incense...
