Chapter 37 Uninvited Guests (Thanks to Glutton0de0bookworm for the Reward!)

"I'm back."

Lu En turned the key and pushed the door open.

Although the night was no longer a threat to him, in order to reassure his family, he rushed home before dark. After taking off his shoes, he found that something seemed wrong at home today.

The home that used to be quiet now seemed a little lively. Lu Guang was talking to others and even laughed from time to time. He sounded very relaxed, which was almost a side that Lu En had never seen before.

With the sound of the door opening, Lu En saw the two people sitting on the sofa turned their heads. One was Lu Guang with a smile on his face and his eyebrows were relaxed. The other was an old man with white hair and beard, who looked very old. He had a kind face and looked at Lu En with a smile on his mouth.

More importantly, this person's face was similar to Lu En's, with soft facial lines. Although his hair was white, his pupils were still black.

This was an oriental immigrant like Lu En's family.

"I'm back, Mr. Li, this is my son Lu En."

Lu Guang stood up and introduced himself to the old man, while waving for Lu En to come over: "Lu En, this is Grandpa Li, we are from the same town, why don't you call him!"

The four greatest joys in life are meeting old friends in a foreign land.

Lu Guang has been wandering for so many years. There are not many Eastern immigrants in the Federation, let alone fellow villagers from the same place. This is simply a low-probability event. No wonder Lu Guang seems so happy.

"Grandpa Li!"

Lu En played his role in a serious manner and called him obediently. The old man surnamed Li smiled and looked Lu En up and down, nodding repeatedly: "Good boy, good boy!"

The voice was loud and powerful, and it sounded completely inconsistent with the appearance. It sounded more like a strong man in his thirties or forties. Lu En was a little surprised, but he didn't show it. He closed the door and walked over. Suddenly, a figure next to him rushed over!

Lu En was so sensitive now that he had already discovered Lu Xiaokui hiding behind the sofa. However, he pretended not to know and exclaimed in surprise. When he saw Xiaokui, who looked like a doll in a white princess dress, with curved eyes, he looked like he had succeeded in his trick.

"Brother, look, this is the little dress Grandpa Li bought for me. Does it look good?"

Xiaokui pinched the corner of her clothes and turned around like a character on TV, presenting her treasure to Lu En. Lu En's attitude towards her had improved a lot during this period, which naturally made Xiaokui closer to him. He didn't dare to tease Lu En like this before.

"Beautiful, Xiaokui is just like a little princess!"

Lu En naturally would not be stingy with praise, picked up Xiaokui, and smiled at Mr. Li: "Thank you, Grandpa Li, for the gift for my sister."

"Haha, what a good child, come, I have yours too!" Mr. Li smiled and took out a small box from his arms: "I heard from Lu Guang that you are still in school, and I didn't give you anything expensive, just to show my appreciation."

"Mr. Li, you came just like that, why bring a gift, it's a waste!" Lu Guang had a serious face. Just by looking at his clothes and temperament, it can be seen that Mr. Li is much better off than him. If it weren't for the rare fellow villagers, he really didn't want to be regarded as a person who clings to the rich.

"Just a little thing, not worth much, not worth much."

Mr. Li laughed and handed the small box to Lu En. Lu En looked at Lu Guang, and seeing that the latter didn't have any special expression, he raised his hand to take it. When he opened it, it turned out to be a golden fountain pen with a complex vine-like pattern on it. It was obvious that it was worth a lot of money.

"This?"

Lu Guang's expression was nonchalant at first, but when he saw the pen, he stood up immediately and his face changed slightly: "Mr. Li, this gift is too expensive. I'm afraid we can't afford it. I see you..."

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

Mr. Li waved his hand, his expression did not change at all, and he still said with a smile: "Gifts are given to people, and this little thing is not real, it's just a fake. I can't afford it if it's real, so how can I give it to others."

"It's just a little thing worth one or two hundred yuan. It can't be taken seriously. Just take it and have a look."

Mr. Li said a few words, and Lu Guang was half-believing and half-doubting. He slowly sat back and thought about it. It was indeed the case. They were not relatives, and there was no interest exchange between them. The other party would not give such an expensive gift when they met. A fake gift was acceptable.

If they are being nice to each other, they must have something that the other party covets.

The more Lu Guang thought about it, the more relaxed he became. He had already determined that this was just a fake, and urged Lu En: "Why don't you thank Mr. Li!"

"Thank you, Grandpa Li." Lu En smiled brightly, but his heart was slowly lifted. He looked at the old man who suddenly appeared with his peripheral vision. He looked to be in his fifties or sixties, and from his hair, he seemed to be older. However, his body was typical of a strong back and a short neck. At this time, he was curled up in the sofa. Lu En seemed to see a dozing tiger.

A tiger that has retracted its claws and eyes, and even covered up its own patterns!

Old but strong, old and strong is what this kind of person is like.

Lu En put Xiao Kui down, found a place to sit down, and listened to Lu Guang and Li Lao chatting, talking about some interesting anecdotes or people in their hometown, or expressing their homesickness. Li Lao acted like an ordinary old man who had been wandering outside, sometimes excited, sometimes sighing, and when talking about some regrets, he would pat his thigh and sigh. Lu En could not see any flaws.

If all these were disguised, then this person was too scary!

Lu En looked into the depths of Li Lao's eyes and became more and more alert. The reason was very simple. This person was lying!

Lu En didn't know whether the pen the other party gave him was just a worthless fake as he said, but Lu En knew that the skirt he gave Xiao Kui must not be a fake, because Lu En had seen this skirt when he helped Xiao Kui choose a gift before, and even just now Lu En picked up Xiao Kui and checked it again secretly.

Whether it was the texture or the brand, it was exactly the same as what he had seen before, and he would never make a mistake!

As for the price, it was over five figures, a number that would make Lu Guang jump up on the spot.

This was no longer a necessity, but a luxury.

Someone suddenly came to his house and gave him such an expensive gift for no reason. If Lu En said there was no trick, he would dare to take off his head and throw it on the street!

After chatting for another half an hour, the sky had completely darkened. Only then did Mr. Li say with some regret: "It's getting late. I have disturbed you for so long, and I should say goodbye."

"Not at all. It's rare to meet someone from my hometown. You can come to my house anytime. Just say hello."

Lu Guang also stood up with a smile and did not try to stop him. The danger level of the downtown area at night was obvious to all. Although he had restrained himself a lot in the past few days for some reason, he still did not dare to keep Mr. Li too late.

"Then it's settled." Mr. Li laughed and stood up from the sofa. He walked two steps and suddenly stopped beside Lu En, stretching out his hand to shake hands with Lu En.

"Lu En, right? Goodbye!"

"Goodbye, Grandpa Li."

Lu En smiled brightly and stretched out his hand to shake it. The first feeling was that the other person's hand had thick calluses, and the palm was wide and powerful. Then a strong force emerged, and Li Lao's hand tightly grasped his palm like an iron clamp!

So it was coming for me?

Lu En's pupils shrank slightly. The other person's strength was not small, but it was nothing to him. However, just as he was about to fight back, Li Lao suddenly let go of his hand, his face did not change at all, and walked towards the door normally.

"It's so late, I'll take you a ride!"

Lu En's mind turned, and suddenly followed Li Lao and said with a smile.

"That's right."

Lu Guang on the side nodded, watching Lu En following behind the old man, and suddenly had a strange feeling, as if Li Lao had stayed in his house for a day just for this moment.

Thinking too much.

Lu Guang shook his head and laughed, turned around and started to clean up the room.
