221: Side Story 5: The Collective Return to Earth 3
Lan Xing looked clean and beautiful, receiving stares of admiration all along the way.
This world was so different from his; there were so many Females here.
And the Females in this world were incredibly hardworking!
They actually went to work!!!
Didn't their Males provide for them? How could they let them work so hard?
In the Beast World, a Male who couldn't support a Female would be looked down upon.
Lan Xing, his mind full of questions, politely greeted various older sisters before quickly finding the location of a jewelry store.
The owner of the jewelry store was also a Female, and she had strung the most beautiful pearls into several lovely pearl necklaces.
The tall Chi Xiao was walking on the road; he was so tall that as he walked, he was stopped by several people who were slightly shorter than him.
“Hey, do you play basketball?”
It was rare for a native Male of this world to strike up a conversation with him, so Chi Xiao politely lowered his head, “No.”
“You’re so tall, it’s a pity you don’t play basketball.”
“I think his basic conditions are very good; it’s not too late to learn now.”
Before Chi Xiao could understand what they were saying, another Male asked: “Then do you play soccer? We’re the Chuan Team. Our cheerleading squad can only perform if we score goals. Our cheerleaders haven't been on the field yet. I see you’re very tall and muscular. Are you from Chuan?”
Chi Xiao looked confused: “...?”
Lu Ming was the most relaxed among the seven.
As a god, he had already visited many worlds for exchange. So now he just wandered around, buying things at random, and when the time was right, he would reunite with his other brothers.
After the seven of them met up, they discussed what they had gained.
Wolf Night said: “I was moving bricks at a construction site over there; they said they’d pay me 800 a day.”
Wolf Day said: “Someone also invited me to be a waiter, saying my appearance is good and I could attract customers, offering me 1000 a day.”
Lan Xing said: “Someone said they were a talent scout and asked if I wanted to be a star. I said I didn't want to, but they said being a star makes a lot of money.”
Chi Xiao: “You encountered that too? I did as well; they asked if I wanted to be a sports star.”
White Fox thought for a moment and said: “The ways to make money in this world seem to be many, not limited to hunting. I’ve observed that merchants make the most money. We could work together to open a company; supporting our female master and cubs shouldn’t be that difficult.”
As the most outstanding children of destiny in the Beast World, these Males adapted to the new world exceptionally fast and soon found a way to survive.
Several handsome Males looked toward Lu Ming together.
Xuan Jin said: “However, we don't have identities; walking around this world requires an ID card.”
Lu Ming smiled: “Leave the matter of ID cards to me.”
...In the Nan family villa, two guests arrived. They were distant relatives from Father Nan’s side: a cousin’s mother, Liu Li, and a Younger female cousin, Xia Jinju.
Back when everyone was equally poor, although Father Nan and Mother Nan had frictions with them, they still maintained normal contact.
But when the cousin’s mother and younger cousin found out their family had moved into a big house, their attitudes changed instantly.
The younger cousin took her phone and snapped photos all over the Nan house. After taking them, she picked the 9 most luxurious-looking pictures and posted them directly to her social feed.
The caption read: 'Friends, I’ve moved into a new home! The new place is pretty nice~'
Before long, likes and comments came pouring in like a flood.
Nan Zhisui glanced at her WeChat feed on her way home with the Cubs. Her younger cousin’s post had many likes and comments. She took a couple of looks and didn't care at first, but after seeing the location in the post, she became a bit confused.
Did her younger cousin choose the same villa district as them?
Nan Zhisui didn't have a very good impression of her younger cousin's family.
When she was a child, she liked figurines, and her younger cousin would run to her house to take her dolls.
When she snatched her beloved dolls back, her cousin’s mother would criticize her for being stingy.
When Nan Zhinian heard about it, he would fly into a rage and kick both the younger cousin and her mother out.
Because of this, the cousin’s mother often spoke ill of the two siblings among their relatives.
Later, Nan Zhisui stopped associating with her younger cousin, but during holidays, the younger cousin would still come to her house and touch her things without any sense of boundaries... Inside the Nan family villa, the cousin’s mother looked the villa up and down, incredibly satisfied.
The cousin’s mother asked: “Brother, Sister-in-law, when did your family’s conditions get so good? Did you win the lottery? To actually buy such a big house. You didn't do something... shady, did you?”
Father Nan’s expression changed: “That’s impossible. Our family are all law-abiding citizens.”
The cousin’s mother clearly didn't believe it: “How can you make so much money being law-abiding?”
Mother Nan said: “What’s wrong? Our Sui Sui is capable; it was all earned by Sui Sui.”
“Sui Sui? I remember she just opened a pet hospital, right? Is a pet hospital that profitable? Is she intentionally keeping pets on life support to cheat people out of money? Let me tell you, I’ve seen pet hospitals like that.”
Mother Nan furrowed her brows and instinctively spoke up for her daughter:
“Our Sui Sui loves animals very much; she’s rescued countless stray cats and dogs. The money she earns is all legitimate income, don't you go spreading rumors!”
Mother Nan even regretted saying it was money earned by Sui Sui. Why say so much to this woman? She shouldn't have been so honest.
The younger cousin looked at the flattering comments in the comment section, and in her heart, she truly began to treat this villa as her own, feeling light-headed with pride.
She said: “Uncle, Aunt, I remember when my older cousin was in university, her relationship with Zhuo Hong was quite famous. I heard they even lived together, and... are they married now?”
Mother Nan’s face instantly turned dark as a soot-covered pot. She slapped the table and said: “Jinju, don't talk nonsense. Sui Sui never dated in university. That boy Zhuo Hong was purely spreading lewd rumors. He has already publicly apologized, and we have already clarified it!
Furthermore, if you insist on talking, the thing between our Sui Sui and Zhuo Hong was entirely fabricated. But your mother, Liu Li, taught you, Xia Jinju, to plagiarize the book next door—that matter made quite a stir online! And you’re even proud of the hit you plagiarized. Isn't that disgusting?”
The cousin’s mother also said: “Why are you being so fierce? It’s just a chat. Why bring up plagiarism? Sister-in-law, you can't look down on us relatives just because you bought a villa and not even let us speak.”
Father Nan’s expression was ugly. He shielded Mother Nan and said to his unpleasant relatives: “You should leave. From today on, let’s not associate with each other anymore.”
The younger cousin’s face changed, “Uncle, Aunt, what are you saying?”
...Just then, Nan Zhisui arrived home driving the SUV.
When the automobile entered the villa’s small courtyard, Father Nan and Mother Nan instantly forgot the unpleasantness from just now and ran out in large strides to meet their daughter and grandchildren.
The seven little cuties ran out of the car, and Father Nan and Mother Nan’s faces blossomed with joy.
“Huo Jun, Lu Ming, Hu Qi, Fufu, Lang Xian, Lang Mu, Yanger~ Grandpa and Grandma missed you to death!”
The seven Little fellows were even more excited than them, thumping into their arms one after another.
“Grandpa!! Grandma!!!”
“Grandpa!! Grandma!! Hugs!!”
“Sui Sui!” Mother Nan called out to Nan Zhisui.
“Mom!” Nan Zhisui and Mother Nan hugged each other affectionately.
With Sui Sui bringing the children back, Mother Nan was truly happy. She said: “I’ve already told your brother that you’re back; he’s on his way back from school. By the way, Sui Sui, do you like this villa? I specifically picked one that’s a bit bigger with more rooms.”
Nan Zhisui smiled: “If Mom picked it, it must be good.”
She had come this time with her space filled with gold, diamonds, jade, pearls, coral, and so on; if they wanted to buy more villas, they could.
Father Nan held Huo Jun and tickled the little treasure with his beard. After playing for a while, he asked: “By the way, Sui Sui, didn't you say my sons-in-law were all back? Where are they?”
Nan Zhisui smiled: “They’ll be here in a moment.”
While the family was being affectionate, the cousin’s mother walked out of the room. Seeing Nan Zhisui and the group of Little Cubs, she said: “Sui Sui girl, did you open a kindergarten?”
The younger cousin also said: “Sui Sui, where did you get so many bratty kids?”
Nan Zhisui’s expression changed slightly.
She had been wondering why her younger cousin’s address was the same as theirs.
It seemed her younger cousin was once again taking her things and showing them off as her own.
Nan Zhisui nudged the Cubs and said: “Jun Jun, take Fufu and play in this courtyard, don't run far.”
“Okay, Mother! We’ll be good.”
In the villa’s courtyard, Grandpa and Grandma had installed swings and many other fun things for them. The Cubs took Fufu and started playing nearby.
Nan Zhisui entered the villa along with the cousin’s mother and younger cousin.
The younger cousin affectionately took Nan Zhisui’s arm, but Nan Zhisui inconspicuously pulled her hand away.
The younger cousin said: “Cousin, your villa is so big, there must be many empty rooms. My mom and I will come and live here.”
Nan Zhisui said indifferently: “My home doesn't have any extra rooms for outsiders to stay in.”
The younger cousin acted as if she didn't understand and said: “How is that possible? I just counted; there are eleven rooms in total from the first to the third floor. There are only four people in your family; why do you need so many rooms?”
Mother Nan said: “Our eleven rooms are just enough, all filled. There are no spare rooms.”
The younger cousin was very surprised and said: “Stop joking. Your parents, plus you and Xiao Nian, that’s only 4 people. Why would you need to live in so many rooms?”
Mother Nan was about to speak again.
Nan Zhisui stopped Mother Nan and said: “Do we need to give you an account?”
The cousin’s mother said displeasedly: “Sui Sui, she’s your younger cousin. How can you speak to her like that?”
Mother Nan was unhappy hearing this. “What did my Sui Sui say? We don't have to give you an account in the first place. This villa has nothing to do with you either.”
The younger cousin gently tugged at her mother.
Nan Zhisui’s villa was so big; she had just taken a few photos and posted them to her feed, saying it was her new house.
Male colleagues in the office who never spoke to her for years saw the photos and were all messaging her privately.
She had to move in; she was definitely moving in!
The cousin’s mother understood her daughter’s meaning. She smiled and said: “Sui Sui, you have so many empty rooms, and you can't stay in them all anyway. We’re all relatives; what’s wrong with giving your younger cousin a south-facing room to stay in?”
Father Nan couldn't hold back anymore: “We already said we won't let you stay, and you still want to? And you want a south-facing room??! I’m really sorry, we have a lot of people in our family, we don't even have enough for ourselves, there are no extra rooms for you!”
Younger cousin: “Uncle, you’re lying, they’re clearly all empty! Leaving them empty is a waste; what’s wrong with letting me stay?”
A look of impatience had already appeared on Nan Zhisui’s face. Just then, the doorbell rang. Joy surfaced on Nan Zhisui’s face, and she quickly stood up: “They’re here!”
Cousin’s mother: “What’s here?”
Mother Nan quickly stood up with Father Nan, and Nan Zhisui opened the villa door.
The door opened, and her brother Nan Zhinian gave Nan Zhisui a bear hug: “Sis! You’re finally back, I missed you so much.”
Nan Zhisui patted Nan Zhinian and smiled. “Mm, Sis is back.”
Nan Zhinian said: “I met the seven of them on the way. They sniffed my scent and knew I was your brother, it was so amazing. I brought them here for you.”
Just then, under the dazzling sunlight, seven men with long legs, broad shoulders, narrow waists, tall, handsome, and strong, appeared at the doorstep.
