Shen Zhi followed her gaze and saw her red and swollen feet. He frowned slightly.

Wen Wan was silent for a moment, as if he had made a very difficult decision.

"Could you help me sit over there for a while?"

She spoke slowly with a soft voice and a stubborn look in her eyes, like a little white flower that was fragile yet tough in the wind and rain.

Shen Zhi did not refuse.

First, he asked his assistant to buy some medicine to reduce the swelling, and then helped Wen Wan sit down on the lounge chair.

Wen Wan looked apologetic and said, "Sorry to have taken up your time. You have something to do first."

"It's okay, my assistant will be here soon. Your foot needs to get rid of the swelling immediately, otherwise you might not be able to walk tomorrow."

"Thank you." A layer of mist rose in Wen Wan's eyes, but she stubbornly held it back. Her voice was obviously unstable when she spoke.

"Shen Zhi's favorability increased by 5, and the current favorability is 5."

After a while, Shen Zhi's assistant bought the medicine. Wen Wan wanted to give him money, but he confiscated it.

Looking at the backs of Shen Zhi and the other man as they left, Wen Wan curled the corners of his mouth.

The man who bumped into Wen Wan just now changed into a black suit and appeared in front of Wen Wan pushing an empty wheelchair.

He had a blank expression on his face. He walked up to Wen Wan, knelt on one knee, and handed a pair of slippers to her feet. "Miss."

Wen Wan glanced at Quan San, put on his slippers, and sat in the wheelchair.

"Go to Nanhe Club."

-

A residential area in Nanshi City.

"elder brother!"

"Lu Cheng!"

Two female voices, one old and one young, came from behind.

Lu Jiu's back stiffened for a moment, and he slowly turned around.

Two women carrying snakeskin bags stood not far away and called him.

They were dressed simply and cleanly, and their skin was a wheat-colored color, which was rare among city women.

When they saw Lu Jiu, their faces were filled with indescribable excitement.

"Mom, how did you get here?"

Zhou Zhou frowned.

He seemed to have never told them his address, so how did they know?

Moreover, all of Mother Lu's money was given to Father Lu to take drugs. With Mother Lu's way of thinking, she would not save any extra money.

Otherwise, the argument between her and Lu Jiu on the phone last time wouldn't have been so awkward.

The penniless Lu's mother would appear in Nanshi, thousands of miles away.

This is unbelievable.

"What do you care how we got here?" Mother Lu's eyes were vague and a hint of unnaturalness flashed across them.

Mother Lu didn't tell the truth, so Lu Jiu's eyes fell on his sister Lu Jiao, who was good at flattering others.

Lu Jiao hid behind Lu's mother, buried her face in her back, and said in a muffled voice: "I don't know, don't ask me."

Mother Lu looked Lu Jiu up and down, her face showing the disdain of a mother looking at her son who shouldn't be there. "You live a very carefree life."

Lu Jiu felt very uncomfortable being looked at by Lu's mother with unfriendly eyes. Most of the money he earned over the years was given to Lu's mother, leaving only rent and living expenses.

Whenever he thought about how he had worked so hard for so many years just to provide drugs for that old beast, he felt extremely painful.

And in Lu's mother's eyes, he was living a carefree life.

Lu Jiu laughed self-deprecatingly and tugged at his T-shirt, "29.9 for two, you call that cool?"

"29.9 yuan is enough for me to buy 20 kilograms of rice. Isn't it cool? What else do you want?" Lu's mother looked distressed.

"What do you want? I earn my own money, so is it wrong for me to buy clothes? In your eyes, I should be naked? You old beast, you take my money and think it's your right. I buy clothes for him, which is unforgivable."

Lu Jiu felt a pang of sadness in his heart and felt sorry for himself. This was his mother, his biological mother.

When Lu Jiao heard Lu Jiu's words, she became unhappy and quickly joined in.

"Brother, Mom is right. Why do you talk back? And why do you always scold Dad? What did Dad do wrong? He had no choice and couldn't control himself. Do you know how painful it is for Dad?"

Not enough words to speculate.

Lu Jiu felt his eyes go dark, and Lu Jiao was really beyond saving.

He looked up at the sky and looked at the two strangers in front of him with a cold expression. One was his biological mother and the other was his biological sister.

"You guys go back. I told you very clearly last time that I won't give you any more money."
