The door was opened from the inside, revealing a clean and tidy living room. The owner of the house, a middle-aged woman in her fifties and sixties with a fat figure - its practical description of ordinary "fat" is not appropriate, because it is cold, and she is wearing a down jacket that is directly reminiscent of round and fat thick steamed buns - is looking at it with a smile on her face.

"Auntie, excuse me!" Lu Wu said.

"Oh, isn't this Lu Wu? Come in and sit, come in and sit! You're welcome!" the woman who was called Auntie greeted warmly.

Lu Wu changed into slippers and entered the door, while Ren Jian moved a lot slowly. He searched everywhere, but couldn't find his target.

"Mom, where are my shoes?"

"The last time I was cleaning, I put it at the door, and I don't know who took it away!

Lu Wu looked around. It's not the first time he's been here, but after all, he hasn't been here very often, so he doesn't have a deep impression of it. But it feels like it's the same as the last time I came.

Ren Jian's parents are also ordinary people - of course, maybe the definition of "ordinary" is different. But one thing is certain, his family is not very rich. At best, it can only be said that there is a little way. Of course, this is all too normal, their family is locals, citizens of W City through and through, and have lived in the city for at least five generations.

Ren Jian is complaining to his mother about the problem of slippers that don't fit, and when these two people are together, you can deeply understand why Ren Jian has grown into such a body shape - the so-called genetics is the last word. In fact, Ren Jian has not lost weight, but it is basically a very special situation in which the situation is extremely bad, and then he rebounded quickly.

Of course, being fat doesn't tell the whole story. Ren Jian is actually barely up to the standard of "flexible fat man".

"Is it a new sofa?" Lu Wu asked after sitting down.

"Do you remember?" Ren Jian reluctantly sat on the side in ill-fitting slippers. "Actually, it wasn't replaced, it was just refurbished. ”

"Does your family still live here?" Lu Wu couldn't help but ask softly.

"Don't you still live there?" Ren Jian asked rhetorically. "Don't tell my mother...... I'm hiding everything from her!"

He really didn't dare to say. This mysterious smuggling syndicate is engaged in the smuggling of precious metals, although as far as ordinary people are concerned, the smuggling of precious metals is not against morality, and it is completely different from the smuggling of drugs or arms. But legally, smuggling precious metals is also a felony.

It should be noted that after careful consideration, Ren Jian determined that although this smuggling group has some "black technology", it must be a criminal group in the final analysis. After all, the facts are the facts - what Jin Ye kidnapped him was, but he was extinguished! The related fires were all reported by the W City TV station. But if you want to say that it was because Jin Ye himself accidentally caught fire and so many people were burned to death, hehe, it was just a blind guess by people who didn't know.

Whether it's "black eats black", or "chivalry violates the ban". In short, legally, or in practice, people are definitely a criminal group, not a vegetarian good man or woman. Although Director Gao was ostensibly "asking for help", Ren Jian knew very well that he already knew so many secrets, and there was no possibility of refusal.

Under this premise, Ren Jian will of course try not to involve his family - at least temporarily.

Of course, having said that, if Lu Wu really fell under the curse and needed help, this was also his unshirkable responsibility. The only problem was that in the face of "supernatural" things, such as curses, Ren Jian didn't feel that he could help much.

Ren Jian's mother poured a cup of tea, of course, this cup of tea was for Lu Wu, and if her son was thirsty, she poured water by herself.

"Lu Wu, I heard that you have been doing business with my family Ah Jian recently?"

"That's right!" replied Lu Wu.

"What kind of business do you have? After graduating, Ah Jian was fine at first, but then he partnered with you to do business, and he rarely went home. ”

"That ......" Lu Wu thought for a moment. "There is a little bit of a cultural relics business, and there are others, such as metal trading...... Steel and the like. ”

"Cultural relics trading, metal, steel?" Ren Jian's mother obviously didn't know much about these two industries. The word steel is very reassuring. Everyone knows that the steel industry is a very serious and legal industry. Whether it is metallurgy or sales, it is an industry that is open to the state and even encouraged. But artifacts, that's another story. Even people who don't understand it at all know that the cultural relics market is really mixed and chaotic. Since ancient times, the trade in cultural relics has been a low-cost and high-return business, gathering countless scammers, counterfeiters, speculators, and of course, wrongdoers.

"Cultural relics are not sold fakes, right?" This question fully shows that the mother is the one who knows her son best.

"Mom, what are you talking about! Do you think we look like this kind of person? Lu Wu just bought a batch of goods by chance, and if they are sold out, they won't be sold!"

"Isn't business busy?" Ren Jian's mother's eyes did not stay on her son at all, but on Lu Wu, carefully observing her words and expressions.

It wasn't the first time she had seen Lu Wu, but she also felt something ...... in this young man Something changed. It's an inexplicable calmness, moodiness and anger, or something like that. In short, there was a rare indifference in his expression, and in this indifference there was a faint mixture of confidence and arrogance that perhaps even he himself was not aware of.

A certain, how to say, rare temperament. Even if it is a white dragon fish suit, the dragon is also a dragon, and after careful observation, you will notice the difference with the fish.

"It's okay. Lu Wu finally replied. Lu Wu tried his best to focus his attention on the rest of the room, not on Ren Jian's mother's gaze. In fact, apart from the sofa, the rest of the house was no different from the last time he came.

Although he is a college classmate, Ren Jian lives in the dormitory like a student from other places in terms of daily life. Of course, when something happens, he will hide home. For example, when he used rotten fruit peeling fruit platters to sell them to the girls' dormitory and was discovered, Ren Jian ended up with nowhere to stay at school, so he could only hide in his home to avoid the limelight. Or did Lu Wu send the necessary class notes or something? That was also the first time Lu Wu came to the door.

"It's been so long since I graduated, has Lu Wu found a girlfriend?"

"Mom, he's already here. People found a very beautiful foreigner girlfriend, very white skin, very tall, very good-looking, and very rich, her name is Amber, she is still ......" Ren Jian shut up in time, and finally swallowed the word "gypsy witch" back.

Ren Jian himself saw the miracle with his own eyes and was persuaded by the facts, but he also knew that he was definitely an exception. It was entirely because of Lu Wu that Amber would make a move. Anyone can guess that people with supernatural abilities are not happy to reveal such secrets to others. After all, supernatural abilities aren't street-level goods these days. If one really comes out, even if it is not sent to the slicing study, it will be kept in a cage and studied as a monkey. But no one likes that.

"Or what?"

"It's still a half-breed. Ren Jian replied.

Lu Wu was a little strange, Amber had supernatural abilities, which Ren Jian knew. After all, I found the contract in person. But he didn't know why Ren Jian had the impression that "Amber is very rich", but although it was a little strange, it was not worth delving.

"Foreigner?mixed race?" Ren Jian's mother was taken aback by this statement. "That's nice. It's a pity that we Ah Kin ......"

"Mom, it's still early. It's only been a few years since I graduated?!" Ren Jian was dissatisfied.

This episode successfully eased the atmosphere, and Ren Jian's mother's thinking was obviously distorted, or the talent for female gossip temporarily prevailed.

"Lu Wu, did your girlfriend bring it back to show her parents?" she asked casually.

Lu Wu's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, and he hesitated, but he didn't answer.

Ren Jian took a break and pulled the old lady to another room. "Mom, how do you ask that...... Didn't I tell you about other people's things once?"

"What's the matter?...... By the way, you said that! I remembered......"

It is not uncommon for college students to choose not to return to their hometowns and stay in their university places to find jobs. But Lu Wu's case is special. Among the classmates, perhaps only a few people know about this, and Ren Jian is one of these few people.

“…… His father didn't know if he went to a distant place after the divorce or died of illness, in short, his mother took him to marry another family when he was a child...... And the family made it clear that he had no inheritance rights, the family property was not half a dime for him, and all the property belonged to his half-sister, so that he would be responsible for it after finishing college, and he would not take care of other things......"

Of course, there will be differences in the details, but the whole thing is the same. Countless literary works mention the so-called "stepfather and stepmother's face". Even if you haven't seen it in your life, at least you know what it's all about.

In this case, it can basically be understood that he was swept away after finishing college. I can also know that if Lu Wu still has a little bit of self-esteem, he won't think about going home or anything.
