The puppy fell on its butt. It looked up with black eyes and blinked a few times, before someone grabbed it by the neck.
It was sized up with a dangerous gaze, and the person smiled meaningfully. “If you’re a little fatter, half can be braised and the other half can be stewed. Add some chili and wine —
“Tsk, it should be quite good, right?”
— Sob, are you a demon?
— Damn woman, come and save me! Save me~~
“Woof, woof, woof!”
The dog, which was already dirty to begin with, had tears and snot all over its face.
It was a good thing it hadn’t stopped chasing her scent after it was born. It wasn’t even two months old yet!
“Alright, stop teasing it.” Don’t make Ergou depressed. What if it’s no fun in the future?
Lu An smiled and took Ergou from the man. She took out a small plastic bag and stuffed Ergou inside before putting it into her bag.
She looked at the man in front of her with bright black eyes and asked happily, “Brother Xiao Chuan, why are you here?”
“Hm, if I told you this was fate, would you believe me?”
The man’s voice had a slight lilt to it, and the intoxicating, elegant smile on his peerless face was a little wicked.
Lu An found that hilarious. “Stop messing around; Grandpa asked you to come, right? Since I’ll be visiting my relatives later.”
“Visiting your relatives?”
Ling Chuan narrowed his eyes in some puzzlement.
“That’s right. Don’t you know?
“Apparently, my biological father is a self-made man who makes money from forcing people to pay their debts all day long. There’s also my eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother. All of them are the worst kind of cancers of society!
“Don’t you know?
“I thought Grandpa told you.”
Lu An was a little surprised.
Ever since she could remember, she had lived with her grandfather in a small wooden house in a sparsely inhabited village.
When she was seven years old, thirteen-year-old Ling Chuan had moved in next door.
Ling Chuan had come to the countryside to recuperate because of his poor health. That was when Lu An gained her first and only playmate in her life.
Grandpa, in particular, hadn’t gotten along well with Ling Chuan at first, but eventually treated him like his own grandson. He would tell Ling Chuan anything related to her and laugh with him at her. Until now, she thought…
Speaking of which, ever since she bound with the system, it seemed she hadn’t seen this brother of hers in a long time?
The little girl stared at him with her black eyes; it seemed her brother had gotten even better-looking. She poked his chin with one soft finger, and wondered if he had found her a sister-in-law yet.
“So, with such a terrible family, you can still laugh?”
The man poked her forehead with a slender finger.
He had been negligent. He had been busy with his career for the past few years, and had forgotten to care for the little girl. He had been prepared to wait until she turned eighteen.
“Why can’t I laugh?”
Lu An was puzzled. “Don’t you think it’s a lot of fun?”
“I pretty much didn’t have parents to begin with. Now, I suddenly have a father and several brothers, and they’re so different from ordinary people. What made them like that? What will happen once we start interacting? Will I be bullied? Or will I be the one to bully them? Will I be able to change them in some way? Or will I become like them? Just thinking about it, it sounds so refreshing and fun, right?”
The little girl’s big eyes were as black and pure as a sprite’s.
Before Ling Chuan could say anything, Lu An added —
