Chapter 740: Pretending to Be Ill

the atmosphere in the study was heavy and oppressive."Young Master Jun, our people have been arrested. Should we..." The bodyguard lowered his head slightly and spoke cautiously."...do as she pleases....The Jun family's lawn was incredibly spacious, with over twenty tables set up. There were all kinds of delicious dishes, with a feast for the eyes and the stomach. The female servants at the Jun family bustled around serving abalone, lobster, roasted lamb, and several chefs were preparing dishes on site.

"...You must all be starving, come sit down and eat quickly." Fang's mother smiled warmly, beckoning them over.

Although we ate meat every day on the island, there were no seasonings, so chewing it was like eating dry and tough wood. Lao Gui and the crabs were dumbfounded, watching this grand feast prepared for them. It was clearly well-planned in advance. There was even an umbrella set up at the table to shield from the sun.

"Thank you."

"Well then, we won't stand on ceremony."

Lu Qinian and Lao Gui grabbed the best spots, plopped down their butts, and forgot all about dining etiquette. They held their forks and stabbed at the lobster with gusto. The juice was fresh and flavorful, and it was delicious.

Since it was a hospitable gathering among old acquaintances, there was no need to worry about being poisoned or anything like that. The monkeys all ate to their heart's content.

Feeling like she had overindulged in meat while on the island, she devoured three bowls of ramen and let out a satisfied burp. Only then did she feel like she was back in civilized society.

Fang Dama and the Jun family's servants stared in disbelief at these people's manners, as if they had never eaten a meal before. They were grabbing food directly with their hands! The sight was both impressive and alarming, causing Fang Dama to nervously wipe her brow.

Compared to their wild eating and drinking, Qiao Bao'er poked at the pasta in her plate, finding she had little appetite. She kept turning her head towards one direction.

"Madam, are you feeling unwell" Aunt Fang hurried over.

"I've already arranged for several medical teams to come over. After you eat, we'll have them check each of you individually."

Before Qiao Baoer could speak, the table next to them immediately lifted their heads. Their eyes were bright, like a wild animal's, sharp and piercing, and they grinned in a strange way. "Your family's patriarch is seriously ill, and you still have the heart to kidnap all of us here, treating us to good food and drink, even preparing a medical team How thoughtful of you."

Fang Da Ma seemed guilty, unable to meet their gaze directly. Her words came out stammered, "I, we... our grandfather instructed us to properly entertain you."

"Grandpa is sick, shouldn't I go see him" Qiao Baoer felt guilty after being scolded just now.

Fang Da Ma hurriedly shook her head, "No need, no need. Just sit down and eat properly."

"The master of the herd has already gone to see the old man, and it is estimated that his illness will recover soon..."

No sooner had the words left her mouth than a voice, old and booming like thunder, echoed from afar. It was an angry scolding. Qiao Bao'er, just so happened to be in a position where she could see across the lotus pond at the Jun residence. Grandfather Jun, his face contorted with rage, hurled his gold- inlaid rosewood cane with all his might, striking Jun Zhimu squarely on the forehead.

Both Old Ghost and his companions were alert, immediately turning their heads to look in that direction.

Unable to contain their astonishment, they saw their leader bleeding from the forehead.

Mr. Jun's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, his voice strong and imposing as he berated the ungrateful offspring, the unfilial grandchildren!

“...The old man is sick, but he's still so energetic.”

Everyone secretly glanced at Grandma Fang, clearly thinking she was lying.

Fang Da Ma's face was extremely embarrassed. She couldn't directly say that these were all the old master's ideas, they could only obey orders.

The old man is really angry this time. He ran after his grandson and daughter-in-law, and he's been gone for half a year. How could he not be angry

Even a week ago, Jun's family had heard news of their cruise ship's return and immediately made tight arrangements. The moment their ship docked, they apprehended everyone onboard, fearing they might flee again.

"Madam, we didn't mean to play the victim, it's just… we're truly worried about you."

Fang Da Ma opened her mouth and tried to explain a few things, but seeing that the young master of the other side was also striding over, she felt immense pressure.

Their shepherd master had grown even more robust, his skin tanned the color of wheat. He walked towards them with a handsome and stately stride, but that air of authority felt oddly amplified, almost foreign to them.

Lao Gui and Sha Yu's gazes lingered on Jun Zhi Mu's cracked, blood-oozing forehead, the playful expressions on their faces taking on a newfound seriousness.

Jo Bao'er felt a surge of tension in the air and quickly stood up, waving her hand dismissively. "It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."

He walked over and handed Jun Zhimu a wet tissue, asking in a low voice, "Have you apologized to Grandpa"

Jun Zhimu took the tissue and casually wiped his forehead, only smearing half of the bloodstains. A shallow cut was visible. Fang Da Ma saw this and panicked, running to find a doctor. Oh dear, oh dear, Old Master's hand is really too heavy this time, how could he hit him so badly This wound might need stitches.

Compared to the hardship he had endured on the island, this minor wound on Kunzhimu's forehead was nothing. He casually pulled out a few tissues and pressed them against his forehead, estimating that it would stop bleeding in a few minutes and didn't care much about it.

Seeing the old ghosts all poised with their knives, forks, and chopsticks, Jun Zhumu casually ordered, "Eat quickly. Once you're finished, there's nothing left to do but leave."

Lao Gui heard his words, and the atmosphere seemed to liven up again.

Qiao Bao'er watched as the blood on Jun Zhi Mu's forehead gradually stopped, and she felt relieved. She drank two large bowls of chicken soup, her stomach warmed up instantly, and she felt so happy to be living in modern society.

Junzhi Mu sat beside her and picked up his chopsticks, eating seriously.

From afar, the large group of people looked ragged and tanned. "A bunch of wild monkeys! What a disgraceful sight," muttered Old Master Jun, who had been secretly watching from the lotus pond.

The old housekeeper accompanied the old master, a wry smile on her face, looking towards Jun Zhi Mu with heart full of satisfaction.

And Lao Gui and the others were all capable people. After they had eaten their fill, they didn't linger for long and dispersed in a flurry.

They had heard a week ago that their ship was returning, and the entire Jun family was abuzz with excitement mixed with worry. They were on edge for seven whole days, anxiously awaiting their return. Finally, after ensuring everyone was well-fed and rested, they could sit down and have a proper conversation to find out what had happened over these past six months.

To their surprise, Jun Zhimu and Qiao Bao'er, after finishing their meal, fell into a comfortable silence. Without a word, they returned to their original bedroom and went straight to sleep.

"After eating, he just went to sleep without saying anything" Old Master Jun was very dissatisfied.

FANG Da Ma came running to report, shaking her head. “They didn’t say anything. I filled the bathtub with hot water, but they didn’t even bother to take a bath. They just went straight to bed and fell asleep.”

Originally, the bedroom of a young couple was not to be easily disturbed. However, the old man was furious, with a belly full of anger, he hobbled over his cane, banging it as he marched to the master bedroom in the east courtyard. He originally wanted to kick the door down with force, but the old man hesitated and instead chose to quietly turn the doorknob.

"Master, this isn't appropriate," Fang Da Ma and the butler cautiously reminded him from behind.

"What's not suitable What have I never seen before, they're so diligent about making people, I'd immediately shrink back."s Junzhumu awake" Qiao Bao'er's expression became excited all of a sudden.Lu Qinan glared at her with a dark face, "No.""Zhimu was seriously injured! Thank you so much for your guardian angel's 'assis...
