Chapter 109 Visiting the Sugar Daddy's Treasure Trove

Jiang Shu suddenly felt that the food in her mouth didn't taste good anymore!
She asked hesitantly, "What does '...talking about life' mean?"

Li Erniang said "Oh": "Close the door and talk however you want - just treat them like lambs to the slaughter and explore them to your heart's content."

Even with her thick skin, Jiang Shu felt incredibly embarrassed under the watchful eyes of over a hundred people!

She looked at Jiang Liuyun with a somewhat blank expression: "Mom, you've always taught me not to be obsessed with men..."

Jiang Liuyun hummed in agreement: "The people in front of you are all unique in the world in terms of wealth, temperament, and appearance. If you eat fine food, your mother won't be afraid that you will be deceived by those scoundrels outside."

Jiang Shu: "..."

Jiang Liuyun: "Listen to your Li Erniang, choose one."

Jiang Shu's feelings were complicated: "Mom! These things are all about mutual consent..."

Yan Yu smiled sweetly, "Sister, we're willing!"

Feng Li glanced at her lazily: "Mom is right, others wouldn't even have the chance to eat something as coarse as us..."

Li Erniang also started urging: "I'm not forcing you to do this or that, just looking and touching is fine... You're nineteen now, it's time to broaden your horizons."

Hundreds of pairs of eyes were fixed on her. Among them, the gazes of Li Yubai, Yan Yu, and three others were the most meaningful.

It's like... the bright moon entering the sea, waiting for the Sea King to gather it...

At this point, choosing either one would deeply hurt the other four fragile and sensitive hearts...

Having finished her self-planning, Jiang Shu took a deep breath: "I don't want to choose one..."

Li Erniang still wouldn't give up: "Don't be shy..."

“No.” Jiang Shu silently put down her chopsticks. “What I meant was, either don’t choose, or choose all five together.”

Li Erniang was stunned: "Say that again?"

“Although they’re all fine chaff, the recipes are different, and the taste is different too. I want to try them all,” Jiang Shu said, forcing herself to speak. “I’d feel really regretful if I skipped any of them…”

Li Erniang: "Shubao, you...you say it again..."

Jiang Shu nodded: "The four of them, along with Li Yubai, make a total of five. I'll bring them all to my room tonight."

Shubao…is she really that fierce? Li Erniang suddenly didn’t know what to say and looked at Jiang Liuyun.

Jiang Liuyun's composure began to crumble slightly: "Nonsense. One is for fun, five...absurd!"

Jiang Shu slightly raised her chin: "Then don't give me any of them."

If we don't want any of them... then all the work done by the entire village these past few days has been for nothing.
Jiang Liuyun's face tightened, and his gaze fell on the corner of the wall: "Then five will do—but since there are more people, they can look and touch, but as for anything more outrageous, they are not allowed to do it."

Jiang Shu raised her hand and solemnly assured him, "Mom, don't worry. No matter how chaotic things get, my heart remains as firm as a rock."

into the night.

Jiang Shu was followed by five handsome men as she slowly stepped into the village's 'mansion'.

"This is my home, please take a good look around." Jiang Shu pointed to a table with a broken leg in the corner of the room, and several broken old chairs next to the table. "If you are tired, you can sit over there and rest."

Nobody wants to rest at this time.

Apart from Feng Li, everyone else was seeing Jiang Shu's house for the first time. Since there were no outsiders around, they didn't bother to put on that submissive wife act and curiously looked around.

It was truly dilapidated. Furniture was missing parts everywhere, and even the bed Jiang Shu slept on had holes here and cracks there.

But on one corner of the faded white sheet, there was a logo that several people recognized—that brand of sheets, where every inch of fabric was worth its weight in gold…

The men exchanged glances but didn't say anything.

Yan Yu even walked over and squatted down next to the bed sheet: "Sister's bed looks so soft...I really want to sleep!"

Jiang Shu casually tugged at the bed sheet, revealing the old-looking mattress covered with messy, childish drawings.

"Did my sister scribble these when she was little?" Yan Yu leaned closer, examining each drawing with interest. There were flowers and little figures, about the same level of skill as a kindergarten child. Looking through them, Yan Yu's gaze finally fell on the mattress's logo—hmm, a custom-made model from a certain brand twenty years ago, priced at two million. Yan Yu paused for a moment, then calmly looked away, turning her attention back to the stick figures Jiang Shu had drawn holding machetes…

Jiang Shu: "My mattress is so soft! I didn't know you guys would touch it. Otherwise, I would have brought your furs with me so we could all squeeze onto the bed together at night and you could experience the comfort too. Right now, I can only put a few straw mats on the ground for you. It's a poor, remote place, so we'll just have to make do. It's better than sleeping in a grave."

“…There really is a grave?” Ning Yunzhan couldn’t help but ask. He had always thought it was just a scare tactic by the villagers.

“Yes! Assistant Yang stayed here last time and drank goji berry tea for a week to recover.” Jiang Shu waved her hand. “Since you’re on my turf, I’ll show you around tomorrow—I’m not bragging, but our village has a lot of exciting places. If we could develop tourism, it would be just as eye-catching as Fengdu Ghost City…”

She paused for a moment: "But since you're pretending to be my first acquaintance in public during the day, then keep up the act, otherwise I won't be able to explain myself."

“Is it really that hard to acknowledge our existence?” Rong Jingchen said softly. “I don’t think I’m that shameful.”

"Didn't you see the look on my mom's face when I said I wanted to choose all five of them?" Jiang Shu raised an eyebrow. "She was even planning to grab a big machete from the corner and beat me up! If she knew that I was spending every night in Jiangcheng with you guys, and... cough cough, occasionally having one on each arm, even if you were animals back then, it would be enough to give me a good beating."

Li Yubai sighed softly: "...My lord, please don't call us...beasts."

After admiring the mattress, Yan Yu asked curiously, "Really? Your mother seems like a very gentle person..."

"He can be truly gentle when he's gentle, but he can also be truly ruthless when he's ruthless! I used to get beaten up almost every month. But compared to me, my scumbag dad..." Jiang Shu coughed lightly, "I recently heard that my scumbag dad had all three of his legs broken by my mom..."

"..." The group fell silent for a moment.
Then, Ning Yunzhan, acting as a representative, probed: "We still don't know who the sugar daddy's scumbag father is?"

"I don't know either." Jiang Shu was quite open-minded. "I'm too lazy to ask about people who abandon their wives and children. Just consider them dead. Come on, I'll take you to my treasure vault. If you behave well these next few days, I'll allow you to choose one treasure when we leave."

"The darling's treasure..." Ning Yunzhan laughed, "I can't wait!"

The three-bedroom, one-living-room "mansion" has a storage room in addition to the bedrooms of Jiang Liuyun and Jiang Shu.

The storage room is very small.

The moment the men stood there, they instantly took up half the space in the room, making it feel even more cramped.

Jiang Shu pointed to a wall covered with various weapons: "These are all my toys from when I was a kid... Don't underestimate them, for example, that sword, Uncle Zhou made it for me himself, it's magnetically levitated, it's so cool! You can't find the same one on the market..."

Five pairs of eyes simultaneously fell on the wall.

Large slingshots, wooden toy guns, hand-sewn rag dolls, bladeless magnetic levitation lightsabers, mechanical birds, wave-shaped machetes...

Yan Yu's gaze fell on the broadsword, and he froze!

The azure hilt shimmered with iridescent light, inlaid with a red cat's-eye stone. A silver, sculpted dragon adorned the wavy back of the blade, while the other side of the blade, seemingly deliberately modified, lacked a sharp edge and resembled a crescent moon…

While the others were admiring the other toys with great interest, Yan Yu's eyes, fixed on the machete, slowly turned red!
"Sister," he said in a hoarse voice, "where did you buy this knife?"

“Uncle Zhou made it for me. It’s one of a kind, you can’t buy it anywhere else!” Jiang Shu said proudly. “Everyone in our village has a wood-chopping knife, but theirs are all ugly. Mine is the only one that looks cool wherever I go. When I was little, I carried it all over the mountains every day to show off to the kids in the next village…”

Yan Yu stared blankly at Jiang Shu, her clear eyes gradually welling up with tears.
