My Right Hand Allows Me to Merge Thousands of Races-Chapter 154 - 114: Candlelight and Smiles (Part 3)

Chapter 154: Chapter 114: Candlelight and Smiles (Part 3)

"What small money? I..." Xie Zhenhai was about to argue.

Pow!

Lu Xun directly threw two contracts on the table: "Come, come, take a look. Do you think working in the shadows for five thousand years can earn you the money from these two contracts?"

The couple exchanged glances and opened the contracts with a mix of shock and uncertainty.

Hiss—

In the next moment, both uncle and aunt’s hands trembled, inhaling sharply.

A monthly salary of 1.2 million for a year?

Plus a temporary contract with a daily salary of 50 million?

For a moment, their minds were a mess, overwhelmed.

"I’m not trying to show off," Lu Xun patiently explained, "I just want to say, like the previous owner of this old house, Zhu Family’s son who succeeded and casually sold the old house, moving the whole family to the Inner City District to live an elite life, thus his struggle became more meaningful and his life felt more fulfilling."

"I’m more capable than that son from the Zhu Family, yet I let my family work hard, overworked just to earn peanuts... What a joke?"

"Though I earn a daily salary of 50 million, love my family, but can’t let them live a carefree, wealthy life?"

Wouldn’t that make him a fool?

"You all just stay relaxed and worry-free," Lu Xun smiled, speaking to his uncle and aunt, "Enjoy an early retirement."

"..."

Uncle and aunt remained silent.

...Mm, Xie Manyu continued to be silent, after all, as a minor, she could only stay by the side.

"Ah~"

After a long silence, Xie Zhenhai sighed and then showed a comforting smile... his nose turned sore again.

Aunt wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, feeling equally emotional.

The child grew up too fast, catching them off guard.

"Alright, I’ll pack my luggage, have to leave at midnight." Lu Xun said, "Originally, I wanted to eat with you, celebrate uncle’s recovery, but the timing is not right, let’s talk when I return from the business trip. You three can discuss, celebrate well."

Xie Zhenhai had been bedridden for three years.

Now that he’s recovered, he surely needs to spend quality time with the family to make up for the lost years.

They actually have plans.

"We want the four of us to go out for a vacation, play for a few days, but brother has work, can’t go, not complete." Xiao Yu sighed.

"Haha, don’t worry, you enjoy yourselves, my business trip is actually like a foreign vacation this time." Lu Xun laughed and casually asked, "Uncle, where do you plan to visit?"

"Jiuyue City." Xie Manyu answered loudly, "It’s a scenic spot!"

Hmm?

Lu Xun paused and then remembered something.

"Uh, wait for me."

He turned upstairs, returned to his room.

Soon, he came back down, handed three tickets to uncle: "Just right, Kong Zihan is holding a concert in Jiuyue City, you can make it in time, take them to have fun."

"Wow!"

Xie Manyu jumped with joy: "Brother, you actually have this kind of good stuff hidden? Tickets to Celestial Empress Kong’s concert, front-row seats for three? My gosh, are you clairvoyant?"

What a coincidence.

The three of them chose Jiuyue City after deliberating.

The prize Lu Xun won from the history teacher’s guessing game happened to be three tickets, not one too many, not one too few. The Celestial Empress’s concert is precisely at Jiuyue City.

...This must be fate.

Heaven itself offered a congratulatory gift for uncle’s recovery.

"Alright, I’m going upstairs to pack my bags." Lu Xun glanced at the time and said, "Have to catch a flight later."

"I’ll help you pack, Xiao Lu." Aunt stood up, ready to follow him upstairs.

"No need, I can pack by myself, you all continue chatting."

He politely declined and went upstairs. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Half an hour later.

Lu Xun carried a large suitcase with one hand and came downstairs.

He found the living room in total darkness.

Click~

Suddenly, the sound equipment played, and a very familiar musical melody from both lifetimes started to flow.

"Happy birthday to you~"

"Happy birthday to you~"

"Happy birthday..."

Xie Manyu carried a cake full of candles, singing as she walked over, with uncle and aunt by her side, smiling and slowly clapping.

The warm candlelight reflected in Xiao Yu’s bright eyes.

Her smile warmed the cool night, her voice sweet:

"Happy 18th birthday, brother!"

"Make a wish, Xiao Lu." Aunt said softly.

"Do I make a wish first or blow out the candles first?" Xie Zhenhai scratched his head, "Gee, three years in bed, seems like I’ve gotten dull, hahaha."

"Silly dad, of course, it’s wish first then blow out the candles!"

"Come on, Xiao Lu, not rushing for the flight? Let’s have some cake."

...

This moment is deeply moving.

For a moment, Lu Xun almost didn’t want to go to the Naga Race...

Even though he’s already an immensely powerful creature at Lord Tier Eight, his heart was still deeply attached to the candlelight... and the smiles tonight.
