The atmosphere in the Lu residence had become far too chaotic.
Within a single morning, Lu Mu and Li Qing had learned that their eldest daughter had a girlfriend, their son-in-law had donated a kidney, multiple family members had cancer, and their recently recovered son possessed enough strange knowledge to make normal people question reality itself.
At this point, even Lu Mu felt tired.
As the patriarch of the family, he finally stood up and made a decision.
“Enough.”
His voice wasn’t loud, but everyone listened.
“Xie’er, return to your room and think carefully about everything that happened today.”
Lu Xie wanted to explain herself, but after seeing her father’s expression, she swallowed the words back down.
She quietly nodded.
“…Okay.”
Li Qing also didn’t stop her.
Right now, she needed time to sort out her own thoughts as well.
Lu Mu then looked at Tang Ning.
“Doctor Tang, thank you for today’s help.”
Tang Ning understood what he meant.
This was a family matter now.
As an outsider, even one closely related to the matter, she shouldn’t remain.
She stood up politely.
“Then I’ll take my leave.”
Before leaving, she couldn’t help looking toward Lu Xie.
Lu Xie also looked at her.
Neither said anything.
But the emotions in their eyes were enough.
Li Qing pretended not to see.
She suddenly felt a headache coming back.
After Tang Ning left, Lu Mu turned toward Lin Mo.
The moment he saw him, his emotions became even more complicated.
For years he had disliked this son-in-law.
He thought Lin Mo lacked ambition.
He thought Lin Mo wasn’t worthy of his daughter.
He thought Lin Mo was living off the Lu Family.
But after hearing Lu Shu’s thoughts…
His opinion had become difficult to maintain.
A man who silently donated a kidney and never mentioned it afterward…
A man suffering from multiple cancers while still worrying about others…
Even Lu Mu had to admit that this wasn’t something ordinary people could do.
“Lin Mo.”
“Yes, Father.”
“Go home and rest first.”
Lin Mo nodded obediently.
“Okay.”
He paused briefly before adding,
“Please don’t be angry with Xie’er.”
The room instantly became quiet.
Li Qing felt her blood pressure rising again.
Lu Mu closed his eyes.
Even now…
Even now this fool was worrying about Lu Xie.
What exactly was inside this man’s head?
Cotton?
Water?
Clouds?
Or perhaps nothing at all?
Lin Mo didn’t notice their expressions.
After politely saying goodbye, he left.
The villa finally became quiet.
For the first time since morning, there were only three people left.
Lu Mu.
Li Qing.
Lu Shu.
The couple looked at each other.
Then looked at their son.
Li Qing suddenly spoke.
“Shu’er.”
“Tonight, sleep with us.”
Lu Shu blinked.
Li Qing immediately added,
“You just came home.
Your father and I want to spend more time with you.”
Lu Mu also nodded.
“That’s right.”
Naturally, neither mentioned the real reason.
After finally finding their son after ten years…
After learning he had died twice before…
After hearing him casually discuss reincarnation, soul damage, self-surgery, and cursed energy…
They were genuinely afraid that if they took their eyes off him, he might somehow disappear again.
Lu Shu didn’t know any of this.
After hearing their request, he simply nodded.
To him, it wasn’t a big issue.
A few minutes later, Li Qing finally remembered something important.
Food.
Her son still hadn’t eaten properly.
The realization instantly filled her with guilt.
She hurriedly ordered another large meal from outside.
This time, nobody dared let her near the kitchen.
The memory of the morning’s dishes was still too fresh.
Soon, food arrived.
A lot of food.
Enough for several adults.
Only after seeing Lu Shu happily eating did the couple finally relax.
The sight was oddly satisfying.
As if every bite their son took removed a little of the guilt in their hearts.
While eating, Lu Shu quietly fell into thought.
Lu Shu’s thoughts: Today was really chaotic.
Technically it’s only my second day in my third reincarnation.
And I’ve already received more shocks than I would normally receive in several months.
Li Qing silently agreed.
Several months?
She felt she had received several years’ worth of shocks.
Lu Mu wasn’t much better.
If someone had told him yesterday that his recovered autistic son was actually a three-life reincarnator with magical powers, he would have called security.
Now he was the one listening seriously.
Life was truly unpredictable.
Lu Shu’s thoughts: Well, I’m still hungry.
I only ate a few pieces of fried chicken before Ji Boda and Tang Ning started calling.
After that, forget breakfast.
It’s already lunchtime and there’s still no actual lunch.
Li Qing immediately lowered her head.
The guilt returned.
She had indeed neglected this matter.
Her son had barely eaten since coming home.
Lu Mu also felt embarrassed.
A family with enough wealth to feed thousands of people couldn’t properly feed one child.
It sounded ridiculous.
Lu Shu’s thoughts: In terms of money and wealth, these reincarnation parents are definitely the richest.
But in terms of having an empty stomach for a long time, this reincarnation ranks first too.
Li Qing wanted to defend herself.
But after thinking about the facts…
She couldn’t.
Lu Mu couldn’t either.
The accusation was unfortunately accurate.
Lu Shu’s thoughts: In my first life, we lived in the mountain regions of Mongolia.
Mother was a teacher.
Father was a doctor.
I naver had stayed hungry. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
In my second life, I was an orphan.
But when I was one year old, a couple in their early thirty adopted me because they couldn’t have children.
Mother worked in Father’s restaurant.
In this life, Father is a billionaire president.
Mother should also be a billionaire president.
Lu Mu almost coughed.
Lu Mu’s thoughts: Son, your estimate is a little low.
I’m not a billionaire.
I’m a trillionaire.
Li Qing also felt slightly dissatisfied.
Li Qing’s thoughts: My personal assets are also worth over a trillion if combined together.
At least update your information properly before judging us.
Meanwhile, Lu Shu continued reminiscing.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
Lu Shu’s thoughts: Ahh…
remembering my adopted parents made me happy.
I also remember the most heartwarming story involving them.
Both parents listened attentively.
Then they immediately regretted it.
Lu Shu’s thoughts: In 2006, my adopted father became addicted to gambling.
He spent almost all of that month’s profits.
Mother was four months pregnant at the time and told him to stop.
But he went again the next day.
So that night, when he returned after losing everything, I took a screwdriver.
Then I grabbed Father’s hand and stabbed it.
Splash…Blood drew a beautiful drowning on the wall.
I cut off the pinky finger on his left hand.
Silence.
Complete silence.
Li Qing’s chopsticks stopped moving.
Lu Mu nearly forgot how to breathe.
Heartwarming?
This was the heartwarming story?
Lu Shu’s thoughts: Father and Mother were shocked.
Then I bandaged Father’s hand with a loving smile and told him not to gamble anymore.
Father listened and never went gambling again.
The couple stared blankly ahead.
They suddenly realized that Lu Shu’s definition of “heartwarming” might be slightly different from normal people’s.
Slightly.
Lu Shu’s thoughts: Then one of Father’s gambling friends came to the restaurant to invite him again in gambling.
Father refused to return after thinking of me.
But the man kept coming everyday.
So one day I grabbed the screwdriver again and slowly walked toward him with a grin.
Li Qing’s expression became increasingly complicated.
Lu Mu suddenly felt sympathy for the gambling friend.
Lu Shu’s thoughts: The moment he saw me holding the screwdriver, he started running.
So I, with my short legs also started running after him.
We ran for over thirty minutes before the police arrived and stopped me.
After that day, no gambler came to the restaurant to call father in joining gambling.
They didn’t even come to eat anymore.
The room fell silent.
Neither parent knew what to say.
Should they praise him?
Criticize him?
Report him?
They genuinely didn’t know.
Lu Shu’s thoughts: After all, I hate drugs and gambling.
Li Qing and Lu Mu exchanged a glance.
For once…
They completely agreed with the conclusion.
The methods were horrifying.
The result was excellent.
Which somehow made the whole story even more terrifying.
Chapter End.
