It was 7 o’clock when
Yan Heqing returned to Yan’s house.
He closed his umbrella, and the rainwater slid down the surface of the umbrella to the tip, dripping onto the cement ground with a pitter-patter sound.
The old house had poor sound insulation. Through the iron gate, the sounds of joy and laughter from the Yan family could be clearly heard.
Yan Heqing took out his keys, inserted them into the keyhole, and turned them to the left. The door creaked open.
In the old house, the living room was visible as soon as the door was opened.
On the coffee table were strawberries, something Yan Heqing would never see at home, and a pot of sheep scorpion soup. 1Actually, there is a dish with this exact name so I have kept it the same
On a rainy day in late autumn, the family gathered around to enjoy a steaming hot pot, creating a truly heartwarming scene.
On the way back, Yan Heqing’s mind was filled with the contents of the novel.
This scene is exactly the same as what was written in the book.
Zhao Huilin received a deposit of 100,000 yuan from Lu Muchi, and happily bought his son 100 yuan a pound of strawberries and imported sheep and scorpion stew.
Late at night, When Yan Heqing came home with bruises all over his body. Zhao Huilin saw the conspicuous marks on his skin and showed a disdainful expression.
Money is everything and smells good but however, Yan Heqing is very dirty.
She knew from the time she adopted Yan Heqing that this child was a shameless vixen.
His skin was even softer and more delicate than a girl’s, his features were beautifully refined, surpassing even the child stars on television.
As Yan Heqing grew older, he became even more attractive. Several times, she saw men in the neighborhood buying snacks for Yan Heqing.
Vixen!
At such a young age, already seducing men!
Zhao Huilin felt embarrassed and beat Yan Heqing severely. Yan Heqing refused to admit it, so she locked him up for a day and night without allowing him to eat or use the toilet.
If abandoning him weren’t illegal and didn’t affect their jobs, she would have kicked Yan Heqing out long ago.
What a fool she was! They had adopted because they thought they couldn’t have children, only to have a chubby son the following year.
With their own son, she couldn’t stand Yan Heqing at all.
Over the years, Zhao Huilin had been vigilant to keep Yan Heqing away from her son, fearing he would corrupt her flesh and blood.
When Lu Muchi came to take Yan Heqing away, Zhao Huilin smirked knowingly
She grabbed the broom and wanted shoo Lu Muchi away.
“3 million a year.” Lu Muchi stood at the door, his eyebrows furrowed, unwilling to enter such a shabby house.
The broom stopped and Zhao Huilin was stunned, “What?”
“Yan Heqing is your adopted son. Give him to me and I will pay you 3 million a year.”
Zhao Huilin’s eyes nearly popped out of her head.
She couldn’t earn three million in her whole life! She felt both disdainful and envious.
A vixen is truly valuable.
But is this for real? Such a good deal?
Zhao Huilin looked at Lu Muchi. He was young, but his suit was valuable, and it didn’t look like he was lying.
Maybe she could ask for more?
Zhao Huilin hesitated, looking troubled, “It’s not easy for me to raise Heqing for so many years. I have deep feelings. I’m afraid…”
She stopped talking and glanced at Lu Muchi.
Lu Muchi investigated the situation of the Yan family, and he smiled half-heartedly, “Let Yan Heqing come to me tomorrow, 5 million.”
Zhao Huilin was stunned. After Lu Muchi left, she covered her mouth in ecstasy, stomped her feet in place, then rushed back to her room to make a phone call.
“Honey! We’re going to be rich…”
Lamb scorpion hot pot can be dated back to the Qing Dynasty. A new cook in the Prince Naiman’s mansions stewed lamb spines and the aroma attracted the Prince. Prince raised praise on this dish and named it Lamb Scorpion as the lamb spines look very much like scorpions. Later on, this cuisine spread to common people.
