Morning Star

"..."Luoluo was still kneeling on the ground, not daring to get up, her body beginning to tremble with fear.

"..."

Chujiu shook his head speechlessly, too lazy to care. He got out of bed, stood barefoot beside Luoluo, and helped her up.

Luoluo was frightened by her action. She stood there with her head down, her body shaking violently.

Chujiu sighed helplessly and said, "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Didn't you say my brother is back? Hurry up and put on my clothes."

"Yes, yes..." Green Rose finally reacted. She picked up the clothes on the screen and started to dress Chujiu.

After getting dressed and washing up, Chujiu was led by Luluo to the dining table in the restaurant.

As soon as he entered the door, Chujiu sensed a smell of gunpowder.

Everyone at the table was waiting for her to eat, and she came just now, which naturally attracted the attention of everyone at the table as well as the anger and contempt of a few people.

When Chujiu arrived at the restaurant, Chu Congnan, Xiang Tingqin, Chu Wenxuan who had just returned, and Chu Furong had already been waiting for half a quarter of an hour.

Chu Congnan saw Chujiu had just arrived and looked dissatisfied: "Look at what time you've just gotten up. If I don't call you, are you going to sleep until tomorrow?"

"..." Chujiu felt a little embarrassed. He looked at the sun outside, which was already at its zenith.

Unexpectedly, she just took a nap and slept until noon.

Well, it was her fault this time.

Chu Wenxuan moved aside, making room for a seat and said, "Xiaojiu, don't just stand there like an idiot. Come and eat."

Among several people at the table, Chu Wenxuan was the only one who smiled and called her over to eat.

"Yeah." Chujiu responded in a low voice, and came to Chu Wenxuan and sat down obediently.

Chu Congnan was still dissatisfied: "Next time if you oversleep, don't eat. Look at you, what kind of person you are. Can you learn from your second sister?"

"Okay, talk less and eat your food." Xiang Tingqin finally couldn't stand it anymore and spoke to Chu Congnan.

Only then did Chu Congnan stop scolding Chujiu.

At the dinner table, Chu Congnan picked up food for Chu Furong several times. Every time, he smiled and said to Chu Furong: "Furong, you should eat more. Look how thin you are."

But when he looked at Chujiu, he always had a look of disgust and dissatisfaction.

If they were not the original owner's parents, she would not bother to endure his look that seemed to want to drive her away immediately.

According to the information she got from the original owner's memory, Chu Congnan was so good to Chu Furong because Chu Furong was not only sensible and polite, but also had good cultivation aptitude. She had reached the early stage of the Earth Spirit Realm at the age of sixteen, and now at the age of eighteen, she had reached the middle stage of the Earth Spirit Realm.

If a family can reach the middle stage of the Earth Spirit Realm at the age of Chu Furong, it means that this person has good aptitude for cultivation.

As for Chujiu, who will be sixteen in a few months, but is still in the early stage of the human spirit realm, her aptitude is even worse than that of ordinary practitioners. Because most ordinary practitioners have reached the late stage of the human spirit realm at her age, or at least the middle stage.

In addition, the original owner not only had poor cultivation aptitude and low cultivation, but was also willful and capricious, with a very bad personality. This can be seen from the injuries on her personal maid Luluo. Therefore, she was not popular, and it was no wonder that even her biological parents did not care much about her.

Fortunately, she still has a brother who is really good to her. However, Chu Wenxuan also has excellent aptitude for cultivation, so he often concentrates on cultivation. Three years ago, he entered the Piaomiao Domain to train as the first in the family internal trial. So he has not seen Chu Jiu again in these three years. And Chu Jiu's personality has become more unruly in these three years, causing a lot of trouble.

Chujiu knew all this, but she wanted to ask, could you not show your dislike for her so obviously? She also has a temper, okay?

After considering many aspects, she felt it necessary to improve the impression of her original owner's parents. Maybe it would be helpful for her to go home in the future.

So Chujiu began to show her image as a good daughter. Since she wanted to change the image of her in their minds, she still had to be skillful, so she started with her mother who was still tolerable to her.

She picked up a piece of delicious-looking chicken and placed it in Xiang Tingqin's bowl with a smile: "Mother, I just found out that this chicken is very delicious. Please try it."

This action was completely inconsistent with her usual image, causing the whole family to stare at her strangely.

"..."Okay, she knew this would happen. It was normal. If she encountered it, she would wonder if there was something wrong with her brain.

Xiang Tingqin looked at Chujiu as if she were a stranger. Was this really her former willful and trouble-making daughter Chujiu?

Chu Wenxuan, who was standing beside Chujiu, had a look of surprise and relief on his face. He thought that his naughty sister finally knew how to care about her. Hmm, it seemed that Xiaojiu had changed in the three years since he left.

Chu Congnan had a lot of guesses in his mind. What evil plan was this little girl up to? How dare she attack her own mother?

Chu Furong felt disdainful in her heart, thinking that Chu Jiu must have something wrong with his brain.

Chujiu put the chicken in Xiang Tingqin's bowl, with a look of regret on her face: "Mother, I was ignorant before, and I didn't know how hard it was for mother and father to raise me to this age, and how much effort they had to put in. After experiencing this, I finally know that in this world, only you, father, and brother are the best to me.

On the way back yesterday, I heard an aunt say that her daughter-in-law almost lost her life when giving birth. Only then did I realize how dangerous it was for my mother to give birth to me.

However, I never understood you and Daddy before. I always caused trouble for you and Daddy. Whenever I think of the stupid things I did in the past, I feel how sorry I am to you and Daddy. I am sorry for the life you and Daddy gave me, and I am sorry for the pain you suffered when you gave birth to me. "

Chujiu symbolically wiped the tears that had finally come out of her eyes with her sleeve. She looked at Xiang Tingqin and then at Chu Congnan with a firm look in her eyes: "Mother, father, I will be obedient in the future and will never cause trouble for you again. I know that my aptitude for cultivation is poor, but I will work harder. I will never hold our Chu family back."

After listening to Chujiu's "heartfelt" talk, Chu Congnan and Xiang Tingqin actually felt that they had treated Chujiu unfairly in the past. Unconsciously, they even felt a little guilty towards her.

Chu Wenxuan smiled with relief, thinking that his sister had finally grown up.

Then he picked up a piece of meat for Chujiu.

Xiang Tingqin thought that after all, this was her biological child that she had carried for ten months. She rarely showed a gentle and motherly smile to Chujiu, and put the only chicken leg on the table into Chujiu's bowl: "It's good that you know it, and don't just talk about it. Whether you can do it depends on your actual actions."

Seeing this, Chujiu was secretly delighted. She really admired her acting skills and her eloquent mouth.

"Well, don't worry, mother. I can definitely do it." She nodded heavily, as firm as a chicken pecking at rice.

Of course she can do it, she is not the same Chujiu. She will do it even if it is just to go home early.

Chu Congnan paused for a moment while picking up the meat in his hand, thinking that he had just looked down on Chujiu, and it would be embarrassing to pick up meat for her now, so he had to put it in his own bowl.

"Eat well. The food has gotten cold from talking so much."

"Yeah." Chujiu smiled slightly. He lowered his head and began to eat, with the corners of his mouth inadvertently rising.

As the saying goes, when one person is happy, another person is sad. The happy person must be Chujiu, who achieved her goal, and the sad person is naturally Chu Furong, who was inexplicably excluded.

Because the original owner and Chu Furong had never gotten along, the two had been sworn enemies since childhood.

The meal took a full quarter of an hour, and it was mainly Chujiu's contribution, because she always liked to say a few good words about Chu Congnan and Xiang Tingqin while eating, or pick up some food for them.

By the way, she told him how she was framed and fell into the abyss.

Hearing this, everyone at the table except Chu Furong was terrified, worried and angry.

As for worry, of course, it was because of Chujiu, and as for anger, it was because of those children from noble families who caused her to fall into the Abyss Valley.

……

After dinner, Chujiu was planning to take a good look around such a large family area when Chu Wenxuan came in front of her.

Chujiu looked up at Chu Wenxuan and asked in confusion, "Brother, what's the matter?"

"Xiaojiu, you said just now during dinner that it was Mo family's third young master Mo Xinglan who saved you. Then wouldn't you have been staying with him these days?" Chu Wenxuan was still very worried that it would have a bad influence for the two of them, a single man and a single woman, to be together.

Chujiu naturally knew what he was thinking about this matter, and said with a smile: "Brother, why are you worrying about it? The relationship between me and the third young master of the Mo family is innocent."

Chu Wenxuan tapped Chu Jiu's head lightly, shook his head, and said angrily: "I'm not talking about this, I'm saying it would be bad if this gets out."

Chujiu touched his head and said with a pout, "Oh, so that's how it is. Hehe, don't worry, brother. Even if it gets out, I don't think it will be a big deal to me. After all, the Third Young Master is so handsome, right? Hehe."

"You." Chu Wenxuan was so angry that he laughed and pinched Chujiu's face, "You just think about these nonsense."
