Chapter 2511: Go Call Uncle Hu Over

Luo Jiang’s voice trembled. His heart was extremely distraught.

He felt deep sorrow and despair. However, he also felt a bit nervous and excited about what was to come…

Luo Jiang’s father sat down. Seeing so many dishes and even wine on the table, Luo Jiang’s father said to him, “Go call Uncle Hu over so we can have a drink together.

“Old Hu has helped us a lot. He even helped to pay for your surgery.”

Luo Jiang immediately panicked and said, “Dad, I prepared this dinner especially for our family. Do we need to invite outsiders too?”

Luo Jiang’s father thought for a bit, then said, “Alright. I’ll treat Old Hu to dinner another time, then.”

Luo Jiang had a sudden realization, though. If something went wrong during this dinner, wouldn’t he be the prime suspect? If the three of them ate the same dinner, and his parents fell ill while he was perfectly fine, people would surely suspect him.

If there was an outsider to testify about the food, however, people would be less suspicious of him.

“Father, on second thought, I think we should invite Uncle Hu over. In fact, we might as well call his entire family over here, since we have so much food, after all,” Luo Jiang said.

Luo Jiang’s father nodded in agreement.

Luo Jiang got up and went to knock on the door of Ning Shu’s house.

Ning Shu, who opened the door and asked him, “What is it?”

“I want to invite your family to my house for dinner,” Luo Jiang said.

As Ning Shu got over the shock, Luo Jiang walked into the house and invited Father Hu and Mother Hu over for dinner.

They were next-door neighbors, and their houses were only a few steps apart. Father Hu couldn’t really refuse the invitation, so the family of three went next door for dinner.

Father Hu took a look at the dishes on the table. There were a lot of both cold and hot dishes, and they were all relatively pricey.

“What’s the occasion? Why did you order so many dishes?” Father Hu asked.

Luo Jiang’s father was already feeling a bit merry before he even had any alcohol. He said to Father Hu, “Luo Jiang got all of them. He said that he felt bad that I had to work so hard and prepared them for me.”

Ning Shu, who was eating when Luo Jiang’s father said this, suddenly couldn’t bring herself to chew anymore. Why did she feel like this dinner was a last supper of sorts?

Ning Shu glanced at Luo Jiang. She then lowered her head and picked at her food with her chopsticks.

“2333, I think Luo Jiang’s about to do it. You have to be ready,” Ning Shu inwardly said to 2333.

2333’s voice sounded a little shocked as it said, “Humans are even willing to kill their own parents?”

Ning Shu didn’t say anything. A person’s true nature would be revealed when they were miserable and desperate.

The situation could either shine light into their beautiful soul or reveal an ugly side instead.

Human beings were complicated like that.

Luo Jiang was a little on the edge. He stared at his father, who was drinking with Father Hu, for a while, before turning to stare at his mother, who was conversing with Mother Hu.

Luo Jiang downed glass after glass of wine.

Although the dinner table was filled with the sounds of the clinking of dinnerware and conversation, Ning Shu felt like there was an undercurrent surging beneath it all. The atmosphere grew tenser as time passed.

Ning Shu couldn’t help but tense up. She kept watching Luo Jiang from the corner of her eye.

Luo Jiang put down his wine glass with a clink.

Since he had drunk a lot of wine, his face was flushed and his vision was a little blurred.

“System, do it now.” Luo Jiang shut his eyes as if he couldn’t bear to watch.

It was about to start!

Ning Shu’s heart skipped a beat.

Suddenly, Luo Jiang’s father, who had been gulping down wine, faltered and fell to the ground.

“Old Luo?” Father Hu quickly pulled Luo Jiang’s father up. “What’s wrong?”

“Mrs. Luo?” Mother Hu cried out in shock as Luo Jiang’s mother also fell down.

“Mom! Dad!” Luo Jiang opened his eyes. Tears streamed down his face as he hugged his father.

Inwardly, he was begging them for forgiveness over and over again. He really hadn’t wanted to do this. Please, forgive him!
