Chapter 829 - A guest (2/2)

He emphasized the words, 'my mother,' as he confidently spoke like he was considering helping Xu Long. However, in the next moment, he shrugs one shoulder and nonchalantly walks away.

”But you're on your own on this one.”

He would have helped since he thought they were close but remembering what happened in the room earlier, he thought wrong.

Apparently, they weren't close enough since Xu Long ignored his cry for help when it came to his (Liu Shan) survival against 'his mother,' also known as his boss.

As Liu Shan walks away, Xu Long's flabbergasted face followed the man.

His (Xu long) eyes then land on Lin Hui, and they make eye contact.

A bright light flashes in his eyes, and he grins mischievously.

However, quickly as that light came, it was put out at the same speed.

Lin Hui acted like he never saw Xu Long and scurries away in the direction Liu Shan had gone. As he did this, he didn't forget to pull Qi Li along with him.

Xu Long: ”...”

Xu Long was left alone in a dumbfounded state with his shoulders slumped downwards, and he looks at the other two people mentioned along with him.

Seeing how Jiangyu and Yiqing were oblivious to the misfortune that was going to befall them, he could only sob on the inside.

”That's it... We're dead. We're really going to die. Die, I tell you.”

If he knew he would end up in this situation and receive Lu Tian's wrath, he wouldn't have taken part in Liu Shan's idea of bringing Liu Ye here.

Now, he can only pray that his boss shows them the same mercy as his lady boss.

While Xu Long thinks about explaining the situation to Lu Tian, everyone else continues with what they were doing.

Yue Ling stood up from her seat after confirming that Liu Ye had calmed down. She decided to use this opportunity to find Liu Shan and the others. She wanted to hear a better understanding of Liu Ye's situation, along with the details regarding Red Moon.

She turns her head slightly to look at the young man as a soft smile curls on her face as her lips part.

”I hope you enjoy the food. You are more than welcome to grab another plate.”

”Thank you.”

Liu Ye quickly thanked Yue Ling when he saw that she was leaving. He looks down at his plate of food and picks up his chopsticks to continue eating.

As a guest here, he shouldn't waste food and be grateful that he can eat.

However, inside, his mind was pondering about everything that happened.

He has indeed calmed down from Yue Ling's motherly touch and words, but the reason was because of Lu Tian. Before, he thought Jiangyu was the scariest person present, but he undoubtedly wrong.

It was actually Lu Tian.

The aloof man didn't say much, and he was well composed. However, anyone can feel the pure air of coldness and jealously that protrude from him (Lu Tian).

It was as if a blizzard suddenly engulfed the entire house.

Across the table, Yiqing notices Liu Ye was instead eating quicker than before. He chuckles and pours a cup of tea set on the table for the boy.

”With that kind of speed, you're going to choke on your food.”

His arm stretches forward, and he passes the cup of tea to Liu Ye.

”No one is going to steal from you here.”

The second his last word fell, Jiangyu didn't hesitate to chime in with a huge grin.

”That's right. You're in good hands now. No one can force you to do anything you don't want or take anything from you.”

He pats his chest like a strong and righteous man.

”If someone like the people of Red Moon gives you a hard time, just tell me. I'll give them a good beating for you.”
