Chapter 193: Meet the Parents?

Driving away from Luohe City, Chu Jiang looked back and saw the city built by the river, it had a mysterious beauty.

But he knew in his heart that near Luohe City, there was at least one unresolved "River God" incident, it was related to Wang Lei’s death and some other special things.

When he comes back here next time, Chu Jiang plans to prioritize solving this matter. At least in Luohe City, and the surrounding areas it influences, he hopes to create a safe space as much as possible.

……

After a one-hour car ride, Chu Jiang arrived in Luoxi City, the place where he grew up.

Looking at the bustling streets and every detail here, he felt a sense of familiarity, even though he had only been away for a few months.

Following the main road of the city, Chu Jiang didn’t go home first, instead he went to the entrance of Luoxi Second High School.

Chu Le, my little sister, is in her first year of high school. However, she got accepted into a different school than Chu Jiang.

When they arrived at the entrance, it was a bit early, only half past eleven. So, Chu Jiang sat in the car and waited for a bit.

Chen Keai asked Chu Jiang a lot of different questions and rehearsed their lines together. This way, when they met Chu Jiang’s family later, they wouldn’t give away their secret.

To Chen Keai’s surprise, Chu Jiang didn’t come from a rich and powerful family like she had imagined. It seemed he came from a rather ordinary household.

Chu Jiang’s father works as an electrician, while his mother is a stay-at-home mom.

As they chatted, it was almost time for class to end. Chu Jiang came out and stood by the car, waiting.

"Waiting for the light, waiting for the light, waiting for the light to turn green."

Hearing this familiar end-of-class bell, Chu Jiang didn’t feel any sense of familiarity. Instead, he started to feel nervous almost instinctively.

All of this was because of that darn Slender Man, leaving a shadow in his heart.

After making sure that nothing had happened inside the school, Chu Jiang felt a little bit more relaxed. He promised himself that once he fully controlled his supernatural powers, he would find and eliminate the ghost.

Oh, if he couldn’t eliminate the ghost, then he would just beat it up and seal it away.

……

Inside the school campus, a girl around fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a school uniform and carrying a backpack, with her hair tied up in a ponytail, happily walked towards the school gate with her two classmates.

She had clean skin and a slightly chubby face, overall she looked very cute.

Walking with the crowd towards the gate, Chu Le planned to go to the bus stop with her classmates, but then, she heard someone calling her name.

"Chu Le！"

Following the voice, Chu Le couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar figure waving at her.

As soon as she recognized who it was, her eyes instantly became teary. Asking her classmates to wait for a moment, Chu Le immediately ran towards that person.

The two girl classmates were a bit surprised, and they looked in that direction. They saw a young man wearing a suit, standing next to a red Mercedes-Benz. He smiled and waved at Chu Le, and Chu Le cried and hugged him.

"Who is that? Do you know him?"

"I don’t know, maybe he’s a family member? I heard Chu Le say she has a brother coming."

"Ah? No way. Chu Le’s family doesn’t seem like a wealthy family…"

While the two classmates whispered to each other, Chu Le was already crying and complaining to Chu Jiang, "I hate you, how could you do this? Just leaving without saying anything. Do you know how worried Mom and Dad were?"

"And for the past half month, you didn’t even reply on WeChat. If it weren’t for the police contacting us and saying that you’re on a business trip abroad, in some small country in Africa with no signal, we would’ve thought something happened to you."

"I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I’m back now, aren’t I?" Chu Jiang comforted his sister while feeling amazed by the reason the research institute gave. Why did he go to Africa? Was he doing business?

"Brother, you’ve gotten taller and even become fairer and a bit more handsome. I almost didn’t recognize you earlier," Chu Le said, wiping her tears. Some classmates were watching, and she started to feel a bit embarrassed.

Chu Jiang touched his own face, "Really?"

Actually, he knew very well that he had gone through a complete transformation, and it was normal for his appearance to change a bit.

"Let’s talk at home. By the way, are those two waiting for you your classmates? Should I give them a ride home?" Chu Jiang looked towards the school gate.

"Give…?" Chu Le paused for a moment, then pointed at the Mercedes and asked, "Brother, is this your car?"

"Yes, didn’t I tell you? I started my own company and now I’m the boss. Isn’t it normal to have a car?"

Chu Le was still a bit confused. She had always thought that her brother would be working in a factory somewhere.

After all, he dropped out of high school and probably couldn’t find a good job, so he could only work in a factory. To prevent their family from worrying, he would always say pleasing things to comfort them…

"Alright, call your classmates over, okay?" Chu Jiang shook Chu Le’s shoulder.

"Oh, okay."

After turning around to call her classmates over, Chu Le still felt a bit dreamy. She didn’t pay much attention when talking to her classmates and her own brother.

Just at that moment, a beautiful and friendly lady in a white-collar outfit came down from the passenger seat of the car. She had a tall figure, fair skin, and a kind smile, just like a model on TV.

"Hello everyone!"

Miss Chen, who introduced herself as the secretary of Mr. Lao Ge, greeted Chu Le and the others.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chu Jiang asked everyone to get in the car together.

As soon as they got in the car, two classmates sat together in the back seat and whispered to Chu Le. The classmate with short hair on the left said, "Wow, I didn’t know you were from a wealthy family, you never told us before."

The female classmate with bangs on the right said, "Your brother looks like a domineering CEO, and he even has a good-looking secretary by his side. So, Chu Le, aren’t you the CEO’s sister?"

Chu Le felt a bit embarrassed and whispered, "No, it’s not like that, you misunderstood."

"Oh, so you’re worried that we’ll spread rumors, huh?"

"Don’t worry, we’re not the kind of people who gossip. We’ll definitely keep our promise and keep Ms. Chu’s secret."

Another classmate nodded repeatedly.

Chu Jiang, this "new driver," was very skilled and quickly drove Chu Le’s two classmates home before heading back in the direction of his own house.

At this point, Chu Le hesitated and said, "Brother, is this not too good?"

Chu Jiang smiled and said, "Are you starting to feel burdened? Don’t worry about it. In the future, things will be as they are. Just because our family has money doesn’t mean you don’t need to study anymore. You have to study hard for me, you know?"

Chu Le nodded and secretly glanced at Chen Keai, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

The young lady exuded an intelligent aura, with calm eyes focused ahead.

Chu Le felt that the other person must be contemplating important matters related to the company’s development.

In reality, Chen Keai was thinking, "I’m a little nervous. I’m going to meet the parents. How can I make a good impression?"
