Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1256: Illegitimate Granddaughter?

"Did he come?"

A man trembled as he stood up. Already limping, his fright nearly caused him to fall from doing just that simple action.

Not just him, but everyone around him was in the same condition.

"Did he notice us? Is he here to find us? Does he want to eliminate us completely?!" an older man asked in terror.

His gaze began to scatter, almost as if he was going insane!

"No! No! He hasn’t noticed us, seems like he doesn’t know we’re here! He’s probably here for the Hundred Medicine Conference!" The first person to report quickly responded.

"That’s good! That’s good! Hurry! Hurry! Hide! Hide! Absolutely do not let him find us, let him know of our existence! No one is allowed to go out these days! Did you hear?!"

A person who looked like the housekeeper hysterically shouted, "Immediately count the numbers, hurry! Call everyone outside back in!"

Soon, the entire wing was thrown into chaos.

After about half an hour, finally, the headcount was finished!

"Not good, Xiao Xiao is not here!" a woman exclaimed: "That little girl must have sneaked out to play again!"

"Quickly go find her!" a man shouted hysterically.

While running outside, he thought with fright—please, please don’t let that person see her!

...

Meanwhile.

Lu Xiaobu was strolling with Lu Father.

"Xiaobu, why buy so much?" Lu Father looked at Lu Xiaobu helplessly and said, "I think the remaining years I’ll be eating medicine, not food, and it’s more than enough."

"Just for fun." Lu Xiaobu bit into a Red Fruit and chuckled.

"You little..." Lu Father laughed and scolded but suddenly stopped midway.

"Dad, what’s wrong?" Lu Xiaobu was stunned and turned to look.

He found his father’s gaze was fixed not far away.

Lu Xiaobu, puzzled, looked along the gaze.

Found it was a little girl!

A little girl who was hopping around and playing.

The little girl was quite pretty, very likable.

However, Lu Xiaobu was puzzled by why his father suddenly stared at a little girl.

Then, he saw Lu Father walking towards the little girl.

This scene puzzled Lu Xiaobu even further.

What’s happening all of a sudden? Missing a little girl? That’s weird, we just went out a few days ago?

But, he didn’t say anything, just silently followed.

He saw Lu Father come up to the little girl, bend down, reach out his hand, and look warmly at the little girl, "Can I give you a hug?"

Lu Xiaobu’s mouth twitched, Dad, you’re being too direct, people might think we’re here to kidnap her.

The little girl was visibly stunned by Lu Father’s gesture, blinked her big eyes and looked at Lu Father, "Uncle, what’s the matter?"

"No, no, I just... just..." Lu Father suddenly didn’t know how to continue, in the end, a flash of inspiration, he took out a Red Fruit.

"Do you want to eat it?" Lu Father said softly.

There was even a bit of nervousness in his gentleness, afraid of scaring the little girl away.

"Eh?" The little girl tilted her head, thought for a moment, then reached to receive the Red Fruit: "Thank you, Uncle."

Then, the little girl took a bite of the Red Fruit, her eyes immediately shone brightly: "Delicious!"

"Glad you like it! Glad you like it! I have more, more." Lu Father smiled immediately.

He just quietly watched the girl eat the Red Fruit, didn’t say anything, eyes filled with very complex emotions.

Lu Xiaobu now also carefully looked at the little girl.

On closer inspection, he realized that the little girl surprisingly resembled him and his brothers somewhat.

This got Lu Xiaobu thinking—is she dad’s illegitimate daughter?

No! The age doesn’t match!

An illegitimate child’s illegitimate daughter? That means an illegitimate granddaughter?

Possible!

Not right, still not right!

If there were really an illegitimate child, logically they would have been brought back long ago, after all, in any aspect, there’s no reason his father wouldn’t have brought them back!

Then who exactly is this little girl?

"What’s your name?" Lu Father began to speak softly again.

"My name is Xiao Xiao." The little girl smiled brightly at Lu Father.

But then, she tilted her head and thought again: "Are you a bad uncle?"

"No." Lu Father immediately shook his head.

"Oh, that’s good." Xiao Xiao patted her chest earnestly: "Mom told me not to tell bad people my name."

Upon hearing this, everyone chuckled, this little girl...

"Where are your mom and dad?" Lu Father looked around again and asked.

"They’re at home." Xiao Xiao said proudly: "I snuck out! Hehe! No one can catch me!"

"Shall I take you home?" Lu Father smiled.

"Uh..." Xiao Xiao seemed a bit reluctant, but thought for a moment and said: "Okay!"

"Take it away." Lu Father reached out and held Xiao Xiao’s little hand, following her direction towards the outer wing.

Lu Xiaobu looked at his father’s current expression, stunned.

Do you know what kind of expression his father has now?

Surprisingly, it’s a blissful expression!

Oh my goodness, could it really be an illegitimate granddaughter?

Meanwhile.

"Young Master, someone is watching us." Zhang Meng suddenly whispered.

"Who?" Lu Xiaobu frowned suddenly.

"I don’t know, but I didn’t sense any hostility." Zhang Meng shook his head.

"Then forget it, probably family of the little girl." Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment and said.

Whether it’s an enemy or not, obviously now is not a good time to act, just let it be for now.

However, he still looked in the direction Zhang Meng mentioned, giving a warning look.

Following Lu Xiaobu’s gaze, there was a shop.

At the entrance of the shop, a man was peeking out.

This man was the one who ran out earlier from that wing to look for Xiao Xiao.

Upon seeing Lu Xiaobu’s eyes, he immediately pulled his head back in and sat against the door.

He was drenched in sweat, his clothes visibly soaked.

As if he had seen a horrible monster.

Then, he looked at his crippled leg, and a surge of hatred rose again!

This hatred was fueled by fear, burning intensely!

No! We cannot simply wait for death!

Lu Xiaobu! Let’s settle things here in Medicine King Valley!

Thinking this, he hobbled his way from the shop back to the wing where they lived!
