Becoming Invincible By Absorbing Emotions - Chapter 26

Chapter 26 One Visit After Another

After Yang Cheng left.

Guo Cuicui grabbed Liu Jiang’s hand in disbelief. “Son, have you really become a team leader?”

Liu Jiang said, “Absolutely.”

“Don’t tell me you found a colleague and colluded with him to lie to us? Did you do it to make us happy?” Guo Cuicui was a little skeptical.

“I didn’t even know you were coming. How could it be an act?” Liu Jiang said in exasperation.

Liu Qingzhong, on the other hand, was much calmer. He asked solemnly, “How did your cultivation level increase so much in such a short time? Don’t tell me you cultivated some evil technique?”

Cultivating some evil techniques could greatly increase one’s cultivation level in a short period of time.

Although his aptitude was too poor and he did not cultivate, he was still a member of the Liu family and had some knowledge.

“How could I cultivate evil techniques? If I cultivate evil techniques, I definitely won’t be able to pass the examination at the bureau,” Liu Jiang explained. Liu Qingzhong asked, “Then why did you improve so quickly?”

Liu Jiang lied. “Half a month ago, when I entered the mountains to capture a Big-Headed Ghost, I happened to obtain a Body Tempering Sacred Fruit. Not only did my cultivation level increase greatly, but most importantly, my aptitude increased countless times. I’m a genius now.”

Hearing Liu Jiang’s words, Liu Qingzhong was relieved. He cracked a smile.

Joy from Liu Qingzhong, +1220, +… The 42nd energy fruit was ripe.

Guo Cuicui also felt that it was unreal. She felt that happiness had come too suddenly. It was like a dream, a little surreal. She reached out, grabbed his thigh, and pinched it hard. “Ah…”

Liu Qingzhong almost jumped in pain.

“Are you crazy? Why did you pinch me for no reason?” Liu Qingzhong rubbed his thigh hard, feeling like his flesh was about to be pinched off.

It hurt like hell.

“Knock, knock, knock…”

At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Guo Cuicui, who was the closest, walked forward and opened the door. There were two men standing outside. One was tall and thin, and the other looked exceptionally strong, like an iron tower. Both of them were holding gift boxes.

Guo Cuicui asked, “You are?”

Li Jun was a little stunned, but seeing that the other party looked a little like Liu Jiang, he could not help but chuckle. “Auntie, you must be Captain Liu’s mother. Hello, we’re both Captain Liu’s subordinates.”

Zhang Hu said in a low voice, “Hello, Auntie.”

Hearing them call Liu Jiang ‘Captain’ dispelled any doubt she might have about his position. She happily let the two of them in.

The two of them placed the gift box on the wooden table. Li Jun looked at Liu Jiang and said happily, “Captain, we brought you some specialties.”

“Why are the two of you doing this to me?”

Liu Jiang shook his head speechlessly. Then he introduced the two of them to his parents. “Dad, Mom, these two are my best friends in the Inspection Bureau. They have been taking good care of me all these years. This is Li Jun and this is Zhang Hu.”

Upon hearing Liu Jiang’s introduction, the two of them were exceptionally happy and gave Liu Jiang a wave of joy.

Unexpectedly, there was a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw Yang Yue, Tian Li, and Wang Quan.

They were all holding gifts.

Yang Yue wanted to come alone, but Tian Li had tagged along. When they were buying gifts, they bumped into Wang Quan, so the three of them came together.

The three of them entered the house and saw Zhang Hu, Li Jun, and the unfamiliar middle-aged couple. They were a little surprised.

Why are they all here?

Liu Jiang forced a smile and introduced them.

When Yang Yue heard that the couple were Liu Jiang’s parents, her expression immediately softened. She smiled and said, “Uncle, Auntie, have you eaten? If not, I’ll cook for you. I make delicious meals.”

Liu Jiang smiled. “Yang Cheng went to buy groceries. He’ll make them later.”

Yang Yue said crisply, “Since Chef Yang is here, I won’t have a chance to show off my skills. How can I accept that?” Yang Yue looked left and right, then grabbed Guo Cuicui’s hand. “Auntie, I might as well massage your back. I often massage my mother’s back at home. My skills are quite good.”

Guo Cuicui was a little nervous. She was just a little lady boss who owned an inn. When she saw the inspectors, she felt inexplicably nervous. She did not dare to let an inspector massage her back and refused repeatedly. “Daughter, no, no.”

“Auntie, my skills are quite amazing. Auntie, just give me a chance to show you.” Yang Yue was quite eloquent. Soon, Guo Cuicui was coaxed into sitting on a stool.

As Yang Yue massaged her, she said, “Auntie, Jiang-jiang always tells me about you. He said how gentle and beautiful you are. When I saw you today, I realized that you’re even prettier than what Jiang-jiang described.”

Guo Cuicui was very happy to be coaxed. “No, I’m already 47 years old. I’m old. You’re the prettier one. You look like someone from a painting.”

In terms of looks, Yang Yue was really top-notch.

“Nonsense, how are you old? At first glance, I thought you were Jiangjiang’s elder sister. If not for Jiangjiang’s introduction, I wouldn’t have thought that you were actually Jiangjiang’s mother.” Yang Yue waxed lyrical.

“You’re so sweet.” Guo Cuicui had never been flattered like this before, and the other party was an inspector. She was so happy that she could not close her mouth. “Miss, quickly sit down and rest. Don’t tire yourself out. I’ll get you a glass of water.”

Yang Yue chuckled and said, “I’m not tired. My body is fine. When I was at home, I massaged my grandma and my mom. It has only been a while, and I’m not tired at all.”

Her words were quite standard. She was hinting that she was healthy and filial.

As expected.

Guo Cuicui liked Yang Yue even more. “I didn’t expect you to be so good-looking and so filial. If my Little Jiang can get such a good-looking, considerate, and filial girl like you in the future, he’ll be lucky.”

Yang Yue continued with her strategy. “Handsome Jiang is gentle, kind, strong, brave, romantic, humorous, generous, free-spirited, and unrestrained. He has integrity, composure, rationality, and decisiveness. He has a good temperament, a warm heart, and a domineering personality. Whoever marries him will be blessed.”

Guo Cuicui and Liu Qingzhong were happy to hear this. Although they knew that it was a little exaggerated, they were naturally exceptionally happy that such a good-looking and gentle girl praised Liu Jiang like this.

The others felt their scalps tingle, but they did not idle around. They simply started looking for work, unwilling to be left behind. Li Jun imitated her and massaged Liu Qingzhong’s back. Wang Quan took a broom and swept the floor. Tian Li took a rag and wiped the cabinet. Seeing that there was nothing to do, Zhang Hu ran out to chop wood.

Liu Jiang was a little shocked.

These people were actually so enthusiastic.

However, he knew that it was because he had some power.

They did not want to patrol the streets every day.

At the thought of this, Liu Jiang felt relieved and did not stop them from working.

His parents had worked hard for most of their lives. It was time to let them enjoy life.

Liu Qingzhong and Guo Cuicui looked at each other with gratification in their eyes. Their bodies felt comfortable, and their hearts felt exceptionally comfortable.

His son had indeed become an official, and an inspector at that.

Look.

The inspectors, who used to be high and mighty, gave gifts, massaged their backs, swept the floor, wiped the cabinet, and chopped wood.

Being an official was really different.

Little Jiang was successful.

Little Jiang was capable.
