Chapter 248 Do you like Dad or Mom?

The experiences of the past few days made Lu Yuguan feel directly what the world is like.

The dog emperor only paid one thousand taels and took away half of the shares of Qianhua Chamber of Commerce.

Ah Huang is now a wealthy man, and he paid out of his own pocket to help Lu Yuguan pay the medical expenses of 1,200 taels.

The remaining eight hundred taels were paid by Bai Xiao on behalf of Lu Yuguan.

That night.

Qianhua Lao guest room.

Lu Yuguan lay on the bed and sighed, "How am I supposed to pay back this much money?"

[Host, there is always a way out. What if you go out one day and find a gold brick? ]

The system said.

Lu Yuguan turned over in annoyance and snorted coldly at the air.

"You're just spouting useless, sarcastic remarks. Where in the world are there so many gold bricks for people to pick up?"

"Even if there is, with my luck, I'm afraid someone else will get there before I even get close."

After saying that, he looked at the ceiling, his heart full of bitterness.

Now, due to an unexpected change, they ended up in huge debt and were tricked by that dog emperor. The hard work of Qianhua Chamber of Commerce was taken away.

When he thought of this, Lu Yuguan gritted his teeth in hatred.

"It's all Li Chonglin's fault!"

【…? 】

Lu Yuguan said depressedly: "I have followed him for so long, but I haven't gained anything good."

"When a couple divorces, they divide their property. But he just sent me away with a letter."

【Didn’t you two fail? 】

The system complained.

Lu Yuguan: "Is this the point?"

[So this is... a romance scam?]

The system said quietly.

Lu Yuguan blushed and stammered, "You... don't talk nonsense!"

"What kind of romance can we have between him and me? It's just a vague friendship at best."

[He's good at talking, but he'll behave himself once the British police arrive.]

"no?"

"Tong-chan, where did you learn all these messed up things?"

[Following your host who is so shameless, if I don’t use some tricks, I can’t control you.]

"..."

Lu Yuguan turned over and couldn't fall asleep.

After deducting the one thousand taels from Qianhua Chamber of Commerce, the remaining two thousand taels of silver were like a heavy mountain, pressing heavily on his heart.

The night outside the window was as dark as ink, with the occasional barking of dogs making the house even quieter.

But Lu Yuguan's thoughts were like a tangled mess, in constant turmoil.

He tossed and turned until the second half of the night before he fell into a drowsy sleep.

At dawn, Lu Yuguan was awakened by a series of rapid knocks on the door.

"Who?"

"President, it's me, Xiao Guozi!"

Lu Yuguan called out in confusion, "What's going on? You're so anxious."

"Three people came to the restaurant and ate and didn't pay!"

"Why don't you just ask Hongdie to handle it? Why are you asking me?"

"Well, we didn't want to disturb you," Xiao Guozi said awkwardly, "but the leader called you by name and said he had something to ask you."

"Find me?"

Lu Yuguan asked doubtfully.

Why would anyone come to see him at this critical moment?

"President, those three look pitiful, a father with two children. Please come out and take a look." Xiao Guozi shouted through the door.

Lu Yuguan sighed helplessly, stood up, put on some clothes, and walked out the door in his slippers.

As soon as I opened the door, Xiao Guozi's anxious look came into view. He urged again and again: "President, please hurry up, they are about to cause a commotion in the lobby."

Lu Yuguan followed Xiao Guozi and quickly came to the lobby, only to see three people sitting in the corner.

A weather-beaten man, with two skinny children snuggling beside him, had already eaten up all the food on the table.

"You...are looking for me?"

Lu Yuguan spoke tentatively.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man turned around suddenly and burst into tears.

"Mr. Lu!"

"I've been searching for you so hard!"

Lu Yuguan looked closely and found that the man with familiar features was Shangguan Qi whom he had not seen for a long time!

"Master Shangguan!?"

"Haven't you already returned to Liuyun Sect? Why are you here?"

Shangguan Qi held up his hands and was about to say something when his stomach rumbled.

"Gu..."

Shangguan Qi said apologetically, "Mr. Lu, could you please bring some more food?"

Lu Yuguan held his forehead helplessly, turned his head and said to Xiao Guozi, "Go, cook two more pots of tomato and spicy beef oil base, and add more meat."

Shangguan Qi: "Well...I don't eat spicy food..."

Lu Yuguan: “…”

After the three of them had another meal, Shangguan Qi finally collapsed in his chair with satisfaction.

The two kids next to them looked like they were drunk, with happy smiles on their faces.

"Hot pot, delicious... hehe!"

"Yes... hehe..."

Shangguan Qi patted his belly proudly and said, "I knew you two had never tasted this before. You've broadened your horizons today, haven't you?"

Looking at Shangguan Qi's appearance, Lu Yuguan felt both angry and amused.

He pulled a chair over and sat down, then asked, "Master Shangguan, how did you end up in such a miserable state, and end up here with your child?"

Shangguan Qi quickly denied: "Hey, Master Lu, that's wrong. They are not my children."

Lu Yuguan looked shocked.

"Whose is that?"

"Whose..." Shangguan Qi pondered, "I don't know, but it's not mine."

Lu Yuguan's eyes suddenly became sympathetic.

"I didn't expect that Master Shangguan would be so responsible. I underestimated you!"

Shangguan Qi: "What?"

Lu Yuguan: "It must be hard to take over, right?"

Shangguan Qi: "No..."

Lu Yuguan: "The child's mother ran away, right?"

Shangguan Qi: "Mr. Lu, that's not what I meant, I——"

Lu Yuguan covered Shangguan Qi's mouth with his hand, lowered his eyes and sighed, "Don't say anything, I understand everything. Let's live here until we find a suitable family to adopt her."

"Single fathers get a 40% discount on their rooms!"

Shangguan Qi struggled to break free from Lu Yuguan's hand, gasping for breath, and said anxiously, "Master Lu, you misunderstood. I picked up these two children!"

"Picked it up?!"

Lu Yuguan immediately said angrily: "No matter how short of money you are, you wouldn't kidnap children, right?"

"Who are you calling a child?"

The soft and tender sound of milk was heard.

Lu Yuguan turned around and saw two little kids in red bellybands pointing at his nose and shouting.

One of the taller children clenched his fists and glared at Lu Yuguan angrily, his cheeks flushed with anger.

"How cute!" Lu Yuguan bent down and asked, "Do you like dad or mom?"

Silver Horn: "I like you, you big-headed ghost! I'm already eight hundred years old!"

Jinjiao: "Tsk, you're already grown up, and you're still saying such childish things. You just connected to the internet, right?"

Lu Yuguan: “…”

Lu Yuguan pulled the corners of his mouth speechlessly, but when he thought about what he had just said, he suddenly grasped something strange.

wrong.

and many more?

What did this little kid say?

Just connected to the Internet?
