Chapter 515: Chapter 489: The Five Continuous Kills

Da Long said that Liao Fugui’s father seems to be a little interested in Jia Xiufang. Xiao Qian, hearing the endless chatter between the two in the hallway, guessed there could be something between them. Was Liao Fugui trying to get close in advance to make Da Long his stepbrother?

In Xiao Qian’s view, the family background of the two families didn’t differ that much. Both were middle-aged divorcees, Father Liao had authority and Jia Xiufang had money. If Father Liao really had a character similar to Liao Fugui, he probably wouldn’t treat his mother poorly.

Xiao Qian didn’t have any opinion about whether her mother should remarry – as long as Jia Xiufang was happy. Anyway, with her around, no one would dare deceive her mother – if anything, the Liao father and son duo with their character, should be thanking their lucky stars they haven’t been deceived.

But Xiao Qian had her concerns.

The careers of the Liao family were unusual, and their personalities were too difficult, the unbending type. If Jia Xiufang were to marry Father Liao, she might end up being implicated by them. Jia Xiufang might not have a peaceful life with them if those who can’t win over them turn to revenge with a sneak attack.

One was a top judge, the other a forensic psychiatrist. Such unexpected visits like those were bound to happen. Xiao Qian did not want her mother to live her life in that manner. Why must her mother find such troublesome old men when there are plenty of good ones? And with this troublesome old man came a buy-one-get-one-free deal, an extra stepbrother who liked quoting “The Eight Classics”…

Thinking about this, Xiao Qian decided she couldn’t stand idly by anymore. She pushed open the window and shouted downstairs to Da Long, who was happily chatting with Liao Fugui.

“Da Long, go home!”

Chen Zilong was quite afraid of Xiao Qian. When Xiao Qian called him, he felt a chill down his back. He looked up and felt Xiao Qian’s glasses were reflecting light. He remembered what she had whispered in his ear the day before.

Oh gosh, he forgot what he had promised his sister – not to get too close to Yun Chang!

“You really get along with your sister.” Liao Fugui looked up and smiled at Xiao Qian, but Xiao Qian quickly closed the window without giving him a chance to say hello.

“Uh, yeah, we do…” So sorry about that, Brother Yun Chang, but she is my sister after all.

“Does your sister… have a boyfriend?” Liao Fugui asked.

“No boyfriend.”

Upon hearing that, Liao Fugui’s heart leaped with joy, only for Chen Zilong to add another comment.

“However, she has a fiancé.”

Liao Fugui felt his heart shattering.

“Brother Fugui, why did you ask that question?”

“No reason, just casually asking – what did you call me?!”

The innocent romantic spark in Liao Fugui’s heart was extinguished, and on top of that, it seemed like he heard a terrifying nickname mixed in?

“Fu Gui… Brother Fu Gui, do you work normally? Brother Fu Gui, is it not far from here to your workplace? Brother Fu Gui, why don’t you have lunch at the canteen? Brother Fu Gui, your hairstyle is really cool…”

With each sentence that Chen Zilong uttered, Liao Fugui’s face grew even greener.

Poor little Da Long was also breaking down inside. It’s not that he was making unnecessary conversation but his sister had ordered that if Yun Chang ever tried to get close to him, he had to call Fu Gui five times in a row.

Poor Liao Fugui, not yet recovering from the blow of discovering that his beloved was already with someone else, fell victim to the “Fu Gui Five Kill Combo” meticulously planned by Xiao Qian and executed by Da Long, leaving him utterly stupefied.

Life, ah, why is it so cruel?

After secretly executing the “Fu Gui Five Kill Combo,” Xiao Qian felt very relieved.

Given Liao Fugui’s petty nature, he’d probably grumble about being called by that nickname to his father, who might then focus his attention on other old ladies.

Chen Zilong allowed Jia Xiufang to enter first, and the conversation between Jia Xiufang and Father Liao had already progressed from their children being hard to manage to the authentic way of making braised pork. It seemed they had quite a bit in common.

Judging by his communication skills with Xiao Qian’s menopausal mother, Father Liao must have had decent character.

If he had a safer career, Xiao Qian might have thought it a good match for them.

“Sis, why did you insist that I call Yun Chang that way? He seemed to be laughing rather stiffly.” Da Long complained as soon as he walked in.

“You don’t understand; it’s a tactic!”

“Do you think they would stop our mom from interacting with old man Liao just because I call him by his nickname?” Even Chen Zilong had noticed that something was off between these two middle-aged people.

Their mother normally chatted a lot with their neighbors, but this time it was different. Chen Zilong even occasionally caught her watching the news just so she could talk about current hot topics with Father Liao without any awkward pauses.

What Chen Zilong didn’t know was that Father Liao had also bought a few cookbooks. Common ground, in those matters, was simply a matter of mutual heartfelt effort.

“That petty person would be able to endure this? When you see him, call him Fu Gui five times in a row. If he dares to lose his temper and stop you from calling him that, go tell our mom that he’s bullying you, understand?”

“… Sis, I think you’re being a bit childish.”

Xiao Qian knocked him on the head. “You just watch me being childish. Why didn’t you notice when he was bullying me?”

“He dares to bully you? I’ll fight him to death!” Chen Zilong rolled up his sleeves and headed outside, but Xiao Qian pulled him back.

“Don’t make trouble; I meant… in my dreams!”

Xiao Qian admitted that bringing grudges from her past life into this one was indeed immature. Liao Fugui in this life hadn’t done anything to offend her. But who asked his father to be smitten with her mother? Even then, who asked Father Liao’s work to be so dangerous?

Regarding incidents where a high judge was maliciously retaliated against, there were not many, but after witnessing that scene yesterday, Xiao Qian was still uneasy, fearing that her mother’s later years might not be peaceful if she got involved with such a family.

“You’re taking revenge in reality for things that happened in your dreams? How on earth does your fiancé put up with your temper?”

“What do you know, dummy? How is he putting up with it? He loves it! Don’t try to change the subject, just call Liao Fugui by his nickname, got it?”

“I get it, but what if he doesn’t care after I call him that?”

“Hehe… If his petty nature doesn’t care, then I’d have nothing to say if our mom really marries into their family.”

Xiao Qian’s impression of Liao Fugui was still based on her past life when he had pointed at her and challenged her, criticizing her in various ways. In her heart, he was the most mean-spirited man in the world. She did not know that everything was different now and that with a different starting point, how could the results be the same?

Finally, Jia Xiufang had enough of the conversation and came in. Xiao Qian and Chen Zilong exchanged glances and stopped talking.

“You heartless little girl, you didn’t come with me, and I had to carry everything myself till I’m tired to death.” Jia Xiufang complained a bit before carrying her groceries to cook. Xiao Qian snorted and went to her mother’s bedroom, hiding the box under her pillow before going back to help Jia Xiufang with the vegetables.

After having lunch together, Jia Xiufang, who had recently developed the habit of taking a nap, felt a lump under her neck when she lay down. She lifted her pillow and saw a box. She took the box out and opened it.

“Ah!!!”
