Since it was already midnight when he returned to the capital, Liu Chen did not return to Liu Mei's house. Instead, he went to Hu Yitong's house to sleep for the night.
He slept all the way until noon, only to find that Xia Donghai was already sitting in the living room to pick him up.
"Aiyo…Look, Sherlie, I could have just sent Chen back, but you came to pick him up personally. I'm really…so sorry!”Hu Yitong stood at the door of his house and said politely.
Xia Donghai sighed and said earnestly,""Old Hu, I don't want to criticize you, but you're really big-hearted! You still dare to come to our house now?"
"Let me tell you, Meimei is still angry. If you go now, she will definitely chop you into potato chips with a kitchen knife.”
Chop him into potato chips? So awesome?
Hearing Xia Donghai's words, Hu Yitong's body trembled. Recalling Liu Mei's furious appearance in the past, he could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
"It can't be that violent, right?" Hu Yitong forced a smile.
"Hehe…You've made such a big deal out of this and even brought Chen along. Do you think Meimei will let you off?”Xia Donghai patted Hu Yitong's shoulder and teased,""This is the only bloodline of Meimei's younger brother, and also the only legitimate son and grandson of the Liu family.”
Although Liu Xing's surname was Liu, he was actually just a cousin of the Liu family. Only Liu Chen was the grandson of the Liu Family.
Because of this, the women of the Liu family loved Liu Chen dearly.
Of course, the Liu family only had two women now. One was Liu Chen's grandmother, Fan Xiaoying, and the other was Liu Mei.
"Alright, I think I'd better lie low and wait for a while before visiting your house.”Hu Yitong thought about it and chose to believe Xia Donghai.
During this period of time, he absolutely couldn't get close to Liu Mei.
"Little Chen, let's go."
"Yes."
When Liu Chen and Xia Donghai returned home, they found that Liu Mei, Liu Xing, and the others were all there. The whole family stood at the door to welcome Liu Chen. It was as if the scene from yesterday had repeated itself.
"Auntie, you didn't go to work?" Liu Chen was very puzzled.
As it was summer vacation, Liu Xing and Liu Mei were still staying at home.
"Why are you still working? Since you left yesterday, your Mother Hu has been so anxious that she hasn't slept for the entire day.”Xia Donghai said helplessly.
" How can I sleep…sob…" Liu Mei's eyes welled up with tears when she saw Liu Chen. She couldn't help but cry.
As she cried, she made Liu Chen turn around. Seeing that Liu Chen was unharmed, he finally relaxed.
"A place like Mystic Gate is so chaotic. You and Hu Yitong went to the casino again. You really scared me to death! Ahhh…"
As she spoke, Liu Mei immediately pulled Liu Chen into her arms and wailed.
Alright, women were indeed made of water.
Feeling the wetness on his shoulder, Liu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, she felt warm inside.
The feeling of having relatives was actually not bad.
At the very least, there were still people who cared.
He thought of his previous life where he had no one to rely on. When he was bullied, he could only bear it alone. For three meals a day, he could only eat instant noodles to satisfy his hunger. His current life was simply too wonderful.
"Alright, Meimei, Chen is back. You should go to bed.”Xia Donghai's heart ached when he saw Liu Mei crying.
He hated seeing women cry the most in his life.
"Why are you sleeping? I'm going to buy groceries and cook a delicious meal for Chen at night to welcome him back.”As she spoke, Liu Mei took down the handbag hanging on the hanger at the door and hurriedly changed into her shoes. "Chen, have a good rest. I'll cook a feast for you when I come back!”
With that, he closed the door.
Liu Chen shook his head helplessly. He didn't try to dissuade Liu Mei because he knew it was useless.
"Cousin, thank you." "Dad said it's all your fault," Liu Xing said excitedly.”
"Yeah, cousin, you're really amazing.”Xia Yu's face was full of admiration. "My mom called and said that you won a lot of money. You're a very…very powerful expert.”
"Shh…"
Xia Donghai was initially smiling when he saw the children getting along. When he heard Xia Yu's words, his expression changed and he quickly reminded her,"Xiao Yu, how many times have I told you? You can't tell anyone about Cousin winning money.”
"If your mother finds out, I won't be able to bear the consequences.”
"What do you mean you can't bear the consequences?”Xia Yu was confused." Is it something delicious?"”
"It means very miserable." Liu Chen patted Xia Yu's head and smiled."Be good…if you don't mention this again, I'll buy you toys.”
"Me too! I want it too!" Liu Xing's eyes lit up at the mention of toys. "Cousin, I promise I won't say anything. I want toys too.”
"I won't forget you." Liu Chen nodded.
"Yay…Long live Cousin! Cousin is the best!"
"I love you, cousin!"
Xia Yu said and was about to pounce on Liu Chen to kiss him.
Liu Chen was shocked and immediately stopped him.
What a joke! It was okay to be kissed by a girl, but he was not used to being kissed by a boy!
"Alright, you two kids go watch TV. Dad wants to have a good chat with your favorite cousin.”Xia Donghai patted Liu Xing's head and said.
"Yes, sir!" Liu Xing and Xia Yu's eyes lit up when they heard this. For the sake of their eyes, Liu Mei was very strict with the television.
Only when Liu Mei went to work could they sneak a peek.
"Little Chen, come with me to the study room. We…um…have a chat.”Xia Donghai looked at Liu Chen and smiled.
Liu Chen knew what Xia Donghai wanted to talk about. He knew that he wouldn't be able to get away with it, so he nodded. "Alright."
The two of them walked into the study. Xia Donghai sat on his office chair, while Liu Chen leaned against the sofa.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little…awkward.
" Er…Little Chen, your Aunt Mary has already told me about what happened at the casino yesterday. I think…" Xia Donghai smiled awkwardly and tried to organize his words. "You're actually…actually still too young. Gambling…"
"Uncle, that's not gambling. It's making money.”"I don't need to gamble. When I enter the casino, I'm going to get the money." Liu Chen said indifferently.”
