Ye Jiu Joining The Lu Family - 2
Ye Jiu Joining The Lu Family - 2
Lu Yushen, who was sitting on the couch next to Fu Zhi, had seen Ye Jiu try to steal his sister's money just now. Thus, he nodded. "Yeah."
Xu Wei could sense how hostile both her sons were to Ye Jiu. Not wanting a crisis to befall her family, she hastily added, "Xiao Jiu just wants to make me happy. Anyway, I don't like those things at all. It's late, so why don't we all go to bed?"
Lu Yumo took a look at his watch. It was already 10:00 p.m.
He harrumphed coldly, but before he left, he heard Ye Jiu say in an indifferent voice, "It's started."
'So? Do you really think you're going to get it?'
Lu Yumo rolled his eyes at Ye Jiu.
"Besides the villa, which address do I fill in for these gifts?"
Xu Wei heard Ye Jiu's question and approached him out of curiosity. Then, when she saw a series of messages that said "Congratulations on winning the prize!" on Weibo's lucky draw platform, she was stunned.
"Is there a glitch on Weibo?"
Lu Yumo took a glance as well. He had won plenty of things, from a small gift such as a set of branded lipsticks to a grand prize such as a sea-view villa.
Lu Yumo looked at Ye Jiu hesitantly and cursed out loud. "This is not real, right?"
He was asking Fu Zhi.
Hearing the question, Fu Zhi replied calmly, "He's been lucky since he was a kid."
Well, Fu Zhi was telling the truth. Luck had been on Ye Jiu's side since he was a kid. He could often get a free meal when he was eating at a restaurant, and he was the only one who would win a prize every time he participated in a lucky draw event, be it on Weibo or QQ Messenger.
Fu Zhi remembered that one particular day, when an earthquake had hit the laboratory, all the people in the laboratory, including her, had sustained some minor injuries save for Ye Jiu. He had sleep-walked out of his bed that night and luckily escaped the disaster.
If there was only a fine line between genius and madness, then the difference between being lucky and unlucky was as big as heaven and earth.
Ye Jiu was so lucky that there had been several occasions when Fu Zhi had wanted to bring him to the operating table and dissect him to study his body.
Xu Wei felt that it was a really good decision to bring Ye Jiu back!
As if he could read her mind, Lu Yumo sneered coldly, "Good decision? Do you think I don't know that you just want Ye Shiyun's autographed poster?"
Xu Wei: "QAQ!"
Alright, she coveted Ye Shiyun's good looks. She was downright cheap.
While Fu Zhi and Ye Jiu were walking in the front, Lu Yumo stopped Xu Wei and asked, "If he's your good son, then what am I?"
"You are…"
Xu Wei felt a little embarrassed, as the question was too childish and foolish.
Lu Yumo pressed on. "Say it! What am I to you?!"
Xu Wei's body trembled, her brain went blank, and her words slipped out of her lips before she could realize it. "My retarded son…"
Lu Yumo, aka the retarded son, was stunned.
'Very well then. I'm leaving home. Goodbye!'

Xu Wei helped Ye Jiu settle down in a room next to Fu Zhi's room. His room was decorated with many pink plush toys.
Xu Wei decided not to think too much about it. Adopting one or two kids was the same to her. As long as Fu Zhi was happy, she'd be happy. Besides, it seemed to her that Ye Jiu liked Fu Zhi a lot as well.
At that moment, Ye Jiu, who liked Fu Zhi a lot, was having a fight with Fu Zhi. The two of them were pulling each other's hair.
"You fell in love at an early age, went to a bar, and dated a young boy. It seems to me that you're enjoying your life to the fullest, huh?"
"What about you then? Do you have the guts to say that you didn't steal your sister's bank card?!"
"How dare you talk back to me? People always say that you should treat your elder brother like your father. Is this how you should talk and behave in front of your father? Let f*cking go of me!"
"Then why don't you let go first?"
Ye Jiu reverted to his former self and shed the pretense of being a caring elder brother since Xu Wei was not around. At present, he was grabbing Fu Zhi's hair with one hand while holding his own hair, which was being gripped tightly by Fu Zhi, with his other hand.
"I beat up a pervert and I even had a fight with that pervert's mother because of you! And now you're mad at me because of a bank card? You even kicked me?!"
Pulling a long face, Fu Zhi replied, "Why can't I be mad at you? Do you remember that you still owe me a dozen pink-colored villas?"
Both of them stared at each other, but neither of them was willing to back away.
"Didn't I already make it up to you by giving you a pink-colored brush? How can you be so ungrateful?"
Seeing that Fu Zhi was going to say something again, Ye Jiu hastily interrupted her. "On the count of three, we'll let go together!"
"Do you think I'm stupid? You let go first. Hurry up."
Ye Jiu was in a lot of pain. Seeing that Fu Zhi was not going to let go of him unless he let go of her first, he took a deep breath and released his hand first before Fu Zhi did the same.
When Fu Zhi saw the several strands of hair in Ye Jiu's hand, her heart crumbled into a thousand pieces.
A second later, Fu Zhao video-called her.
Fu Zhi answered the call, her jaw set tightly.
Ye Jiu was not a good brother. She had not used her full strength, as she did not want to hurt him, but he had gone all out and ripped a few strands of hair off her head.
He had not come to find her because he had missed her. He had come because Ye Qi refused to have a fight with him. He also wanted to take her money. He was not a good brother at all!
The moment the call was connected, Fu Zhi let a sob escape her lips.
Ye Jiu, who was sitting by her bed shaking her legs, suddenly stopped as he looked anxiously at her. "Don't tell me…"
Fu Zhao shot daggers at Ye Jiu through the camera. "What happened?"
Ye Jiu reacted quickly and covered Fu Zhi's mouth before she could say anything. "She accidentally tripped just now."
Fu Zhi smacked his hand away and said, "Dad, he just hit me and said he wanted to be my father!"
Ye Jiu was speechless.
Fu Zhao was the kind of person who would believe everything his daughter said. After he comforted her, he stared at Ye Jiu furiously as if he was telling him that he was dead.

Ye Jiu was reprimanded by Fu Zhao. His physical condition had been deteriorating for several years, and it was the government that had asked him to come to the Lu Family so that Fu Zhi could figure out a way to inhibit the failure of his internal organs.
Even if he had not gotten into a fight with Wu Zhiheng, he would still have been sent to the Lu Family.
After Fu Zhao finished reprimanding Ye Jiu, he chased him away.
Ye Jiu was afraid to upset Fu Zhi again. Before he left, he coiled his finger around Fu Zhi's finger and said, "You're my little angel."
Fu Zhi did not say anything in return, but Ye Jiu knew that she wanted him to continue praising her.
Thus, he said, "Promise me you won't get married and let me die alone, okay?"
Fu Zhi was stunned. She picked up her phone and sent a voice message to Fu Zhao. "Dad, he's beating me again!"
Ye Jiu stared at Fu Zhi, his eyes filled with disbelief.
'You d*mn tattletale! Goodbye!'
Then, he stormed out of her room and slammed her bedroom door shut.

It was considered a big deal to let Ye Jiu stay in the Lu Mansion. Xu Wei sent a message to Lu Jingqing that night and told him that she wanted to adopt Ye Jiu as well.
Lu Jingqing had no idea why, but he had a feeling that his house was going to become an orphanage soon.
He did not care about feeding another mouth. It was just that he was curious about something. "Why didn't Zhi Zhi mention this brother before? Also, does she only have one long-lost brother?"
"Zhizhi misunderstood Xiao Jiu. She thought he had left her for a better life. Of course she only has one brother. What do you think her biological mother is? A pig? In any case, I'm adopting Xiao Jiu…
"Besides, it seems to me that Xiao Jiu has never attended school before. When he settles down in our house, I plan to send him to No.1 High School."
