At night, in Liu family’s mansion.
“Dad… don’t hit anymore! Stop! ”
Liu Ang’s son, Liu Zixing, huddled himself up at this moment. His arms were bruised due to being struck by the stick that Liu Ang held.
Liu Ang’s wife came back from the hotel early to dissuade him with his daughter-in-law. She cried, “Stop fighting! Would you beat your son to death?”
Once hearing it, Liu Ang was even angrier, “How dare you criticize me? You even scared me with this brat? Kill him? I think you’re wanting to scare me to death!!!”
Liu Zixing’s wife was afraid, “Dad… we just, just. Please save Zixing! He knows his wrongs!”
Liu Ang looked at Liu Zixing who hid behind his wife and daughter-in-law, snorting, “I’ve told you many times, you won’t have a good result by gambling! But you don’t listen! Let me ask you how much debts have I settled for you over the years? Hundreds of thousands yuan, a million! Millions of yuan! Again and again! You still do it! And this time you even lost several tens of millions!! I can’t afford you, bloodsucker!! Are you an idiot?!”
Liu Zixing cried bitterly, “Dad, I really dare not do it again… Please save me one more time! If I gamble again, just cut off my hands!”
“Well! Chop it now and I will give you money right away! I promise!” Liu Ang snorted, “It’s easier to support disabled person than a gambler! Feeding a dog will cost me less than raising you!”
“Dad you…” Liu Zixing looked at his mom at the moment with a cry of help.
Liu’s gracious mother became soft-hearted immediately, “Liu Ang, are you really so cruel to watch your son chop his hands off?”
“Well, that is too cruel.” At the moment Liu Ang picked up the fruit knife on the tea table directly, “Let me chop it for him!” Then he rushed forward.
“Old fart!!” Liu Zixing now scolded, “You really won’t help right?”
Liu Ang opened his eyes wide, “If you don’t chop your hands, just get out! I never had such a brute of a son!”
Liu Zixing gritted his teeth. “Fine… I’ll get out! I don’t have such a ruthless father! Watch me! When I’m dead on the streets, I won’t let you off!”
“Bastard!” Liu Ang was enraged at once. The fruit knife in his hand was thrown away immediately, nearly stabbing Liu Zixing’s body. “Get out! Go as far as you can! Never come back again!”
Liu Zixing clenched his fist and ran out.
Liu’s mom looked and wailed, “Liu Ang, you bastard, you really drove your son out!”
Liu Ang snorted, “You two had better calm down! Or you two can get out of here too! It is true that the kind mother will raise prodigal sons! You spoiled him! Later, don’t mention this brat before me or you won’t have any good days!” After saying, Liu Ang went up to the study on the second floor.
Liu’s mom and Liu Zixing’s wife held each other’s hands with sadness on faces. Liu’s mom sighed, “Let Zixing stay out for a few days. Your dad is mad at him for now, I will persuade him during these days.”
That was the only way.
…
There was a safe deposit box built in the study, hidden behind the Portrait of Eight Breeds.
Liu Ang locked the door of the room, removing the hanging painting, and opening the safe door. He thought that only he knew the code of the box, hence it would be impossible to open it normally.
He didn’t know which of the three people came up with that idea. That person presumably wanted to have all the people in the mansion leave before getting the whole safe out?
“They are all vampires!”
Liu Ang cursed faintly, taking out that black card from his clothes, and then putting it in the safe. He breathed deeply and seemed much better. Then he removed another box from the safe.
He walked to the desk and sat down before opening it. Under the light, the things in the box radiated brightly and beautifully.
That was a black diamond the same size as a cobblestone with a net weight of 200 karats…It took him half of his fortune to bring the thing back! To Liu Ang, this black diamond was not an ordinary treasure.
But it was a priceless treasure!
He fondled it admiringly, holding the black diamond in his palm and looking at the enchanting sheen of that black diamond. “Well, fortunately, it was just caused by humans, otherwise… no, how could I hand you over? You belong to me! No one can take you away from my hand.”
The black diamond was all that he could see and only a possessive gaze towards the black diamond could be seen from his eyes. As if he could see nothing.
He couldn’t see. Or maybe that thing shouldn’t be seen in the first place.
There was a pale, wrinkled face behind him.
And a hanging shadow.
…
…
“Thank you, Dr. Long! Bobbi will be so obedient only in your hands! Even if it is sick, it will get nervous when meeting a stranger!”
A middle-aged fat woman said happily.
“Take the medicine three times a day after going back, then it will be OK.” Long Xiruo touched the Shar-Pei on the sickbed and said, “Dance, lead this lady to leave away.”
“All right!”
The little butterfly came along with smile, “Miss Zhao, this way please! I’ll take you to get the medicine and settle the bill!”
The little butterfly who had been familiar with this area went in front and completed her work there seriously.
I met a good person… No, it was a good monster, an unfathomable monster!
Luo Dance couldn’t help sighing with emotion.
She thought she would be eaten by Sister Long that day at the botanical garden… But she couldn’t imagine that Sister Long was just going to pick up some herbs there.
Later, instead of eating her, she brought her here, taking her in. She even let her work here.
An Ning Pet Center.
This is where she now worked and lived.
‘Boss, aunt, I’m living well now! Sister Long was very good, and teaches me a lot of things, except that she loves to make fun of me and gets drunk usually.’
After seeing the customer out, Luo Dance looked up at the rain through the eave. The little butterfly’s mood didn’t turn bad because of the typhoon.
Luo Dance fished out the second-hand cell phone that was fit only for seniors and wiped the screen cautiously. She then opened the album, looking at the only group photo with them, smiling faintly.
“Is there something making you happy?”
At this moment, Long Xiruo came out of the inside. The only licensed pet doctor in the pet center now put her hands in the doctor’s white coat pocket, walking out with a Sobranie cigarette in her mouth.
“Nothing, I was just recalling the things before.” Luo Dance said softly.
“The family who took you in before?” Long Xiruo asked casually, looking at the stormy weather as well.
“Yes!”
Long Xiruo nodded with saying nothing, merely smoking half of the cigarette quietly and said indifferently, “There should be no business today, close the door… Monsters and Demons love to emerge under such weather.”
Luo Dance was stupefied. She nodded and went to clean the store hurriedly.
The monsters and demons in Sister Long’s words were the real customers here.
Those monsters which were hurt or got sick.
Through a certain medium, the little butterfly now knew just how many monsters were hiding themselves in the crowd.
