After Mother Su went upstairs, the front door opened once again.

Su Sisi turned her head and saw that it was Su Zijian who arrived.

She immediately ran over, hugged his arm, and said affectionately, “Older brother, why did you come here suddenly?”

For work convenience, as well as to avoid seeing Su Sisi, Su Zijian did not live in the old house but in an apartment near the company.

Su Zijian was afraid of scaring his younger sister, so he covered the anxiety in his heart and said, “I-, I missed you, so I came home to see you.”

Just as Su Sisi was about to speak, another person came in from outside.

When she saw Shang Yue’s face clearly, a hint of malice flashed in her eyes. Her older brother brought a beautiful and charming woman home so late at night. Could she be his girlfriend?

That was impossible. Her older brother obviously liked her the most.

As a 400-year-old old ghost, Shang Yue could clearly see through Su Sisi’s shallow thoughts.

Her smile was contemptuous. Then she turned her face away and stopped looking at her.

Su Sisi was so angry that her hair stood on end and her chest felt suffocated. She could only hold on to her older brother’s arm tightly and rely on her right to do whatever she wanted.

An Rugu, who had been standing outside the door for a long time, finally came in.

In her yin and yang eyes, this house was shrouded in thick yin qi. The black mist was as solid as if it had substance, so thick that ink could drip out.

The yin qi was heavy; it was a place shrouded by evil intentions.

When Su Zijian saw An Rugu coming in, he immediately greeted her, “Come this way and have a seat.”

Then he asked the auntie to bring them some brewed tea.

In order not to scare his family, he even changed her identity and the way he addressed her.

He sat opposite An Rugu and asked nervously, “Miss An, do you see anything?”

An Rugu took a sip of the floral Longjing tea, which had a rich and pleasant aroma.

She held the teacup in her hand and glanced upwards, as if realizing something. “Who lives in the room on the left side of the second floor?”

Su Zijian looked in that direction and his heart skipped a beat, “That’s the room my older sister lives in. It turns out it’s really her…”

He was furious, his eyes red. As he said, that older sister could touch anyone except his younger sister!

An Rugu didn’t want to say more to this love-brained rich second generation guy. She took another sip of tea and quietly thought about how to deal with this.

She raised her eyes and looked out the window. It was already completely dark.

At this time, the auntie came over again and said with a smile, “It’s time for dinner.”

Su Zijian touched his stomach. He was so flustered today that he almost forgot to eat.

“Okay, I’ll be there right away.” Su Zijian turned his head to look at An Rugu and said politely, “Miss An, we left in a hurry and it seems you haven’t had dinner yet. Why don’t we have dinner together first? Man is iron, food makes steel, if you don’t eat for a day, you will go hungry and panicky¹.”

An Rugu nodded slightly and agreed, “Alright.”

The dining room in the Su family’s old house was very large, similar to the high-end restaurants outside, and the scene was very luxurious.

Su Zijian was obviously quite used to such treatment, and he said with a smile, “The chef we invited to our home was a chef from a 5 star-rated hotel, and the food tastes very good. I have lived outside for so long, and what I miss most is the food cooked by this chef.”

At this time, Father and Mother Su came down from upstairs. They were both in their forties, but they were well maintained and looked much younger than their actual ages. The man was handsome and elegant, and the woman was gentle and beautiful.

After seeing An Rugu, Father Su paused and greeted politely, “Are you Zijian’s friend?”

An Rugu nodded slightly, “Yes.”

Father Su smiled kindly, “Zijian rarely brings friends home, so please eat and drink well.”

Mother Su had some thoughts at first, but when she saw that Shang Yue was also there, she put her thoughts aside and smiled gently, “Our Zijian is such a careless person. Thank you for taking care of him.”

An Rugu smiled lightly and said nothing more.

She and Su Zijian were not good friends at all. Today was the first time they met.

It was only that Su Zijian didn’t want to scare his family, otherwise she would have said so directly.

At this time, the auntie brought up various dishes, both Western and Chinese. Black pepper steak, egg fooyung scallops, crab roe shark’s fin, sweet and sour spare ribs, squirrel fish…

There was a wide variety of dishes, filling the table like a feast.

An Rugu looked at the braised lion’s head in front of her. The soup was clear and transparent, the green vegetables were like emerald, and the fresh meat aroma filled her face, making her feel intoxicated.

But for some reason, her right eyelid suddenly twitched, her heartstrings moved, and she felt something was wrong.

Father Su turned his head and looked at Su Sisi, “Sisi, Dad was mean to you today, I will definitely change in the future.”

He looked extremely kind, like a very good father.

Su Sisi felt a little touched. It was obviously her who hosted the party that was particularly noisy, so it was reasonable for her father to scold her. Instead, he apologized to her.

It was precisely because of this kind of father and mother that she wanted to keep this family firmly in her hands at all costs.

She raised her head with an innocent smile, “I know, Dad, I don’t blame you. Let’s eat.”

“Okay, I won’t say any more, let’s eat!”

Now that the head of the family has said it, it was time for dinner.

An Rugu held the spoon with her fingers lightly, not moving for a long time.

At this moment, when no one was paying attention, a wisp of smoke hooked around her fingers.

She looked down and saw smoke coming out of the box containing the ever-burning lamp placed on the chair next to her. 

The smoke formed the two words ‘Do not’.

“Poisonous.’
