The Great Thief

Going to Water Fairy’s home for a meal was something that had been mentioned ages ago, but it was only now that a plan had been made.

Lu Li had seen Water Fairy’s grandfather and they had a great chat together, but he hasn’t made a formal visit. And even with his poor EQ levels, he could guess that this meal wasn’t going to be easy.

This not-very-easy meal was going to be at Water Fairy’s grandfather’s place.

A formal house visit!

Recently, Lu li had been collecting presents all over the place, asking all sorts of people what might be good to buy for an old, cultured guy.

Antique scrolls, all sorts of strange, precious treasures, if he got anything he could find.

Then when he got there, he’d show it all off to the old guy!

Whether he was bringing his sister or not was the question. After hesitating for a bit, Lu Li still decided to bring his sister. Lu Yin was a part of his life that he couldn’t cut off. In various ways, she was even more important than Water Fairy.

“Bro I don’t wanna go,” Lu Yin whined, she was about to cry.

“Aren’t you really close with Snowy? We’re just going over for a meal,” Lu Li was at a loss.

It wasn’t right to leave his little sister at home by herself, especially when the last time they met, Water Fairy’s grandfather said he wanted to see Lu Yin.

“I’m a bit nervous,” Lu Yin didn’t quite know how to feel.

“Your bro is even more nervous. I’m seeing the head of my future wife’s family. Are you as nervous as that?”

“If I don’t perform well, then Snowy sis won’t want you,” Lu Yin replied.

“Your bro is so amazing. How could she not want me?!”

“Hmph, you’re getting more and more vain. Snowy is going to drop you sooner or later, then I’ll be married to Snowy sis, and the two of us will live happily ever after,” Lu Yin laughed.

Her ear was given a good pinch by Lu Li.

“Listen here, two girls living happily ever after? Don’t watch so many of those weird TV dramas.”

After brother and sister made a bit of a racket, their nervousness had all but disappeared.

After taking the presents and walking a few minutes, they arrived at where Water Fairy’s grandfather lived. After all, everyone lived in the same little neighbourhood.

The difference was only in that the place where Lu Li and Lu Yin lived was just a little bit humbler. Water Fairy’s grandfather’s detached house was so big it was ridiculous. The main building had two stories and had a very distinct design. One look and you could tell it was the work of a famous designer.

What showed off the owner’s status most conspicuously was actually the lawn in front of the house, as well as a vegetable garden. It looked like it must have originally been designed as a garden, but later was changed to grow veggies.

The vegetable garden was lush and green, more vibrant than the lawn.

There were a few boys kicking around a ball on the lawn, the oldest being over 10, and the youngest was only a few years old.

If he didn’t remember wrong, he heard Water Fairy say that there was only her grandfather at home, as well as a housekeeper who had been hired for more than 10 years.

“Can I ask who you’re looking for? Is there something up?” The slightly older boy politely greeted them.

“I’m Lu Li, here to visit the old gentleman Mr. Fan.”

“Who’s old gentleman Mr. Fan?” A little boy next to him blinked and asked in curiosity.

“The old gentle Mr. Fan’s grandfather. Go, tell them that you’re here,” That mature young man introduced himself, then took some things from Lu Yin’s hands and took them to go inside.

Lu Li suddenly had a bad feeling. This time’s meal at Water Fairy’s grandfather’s place seemed quite different. After he entered, his feelings had finally become reality. This was a family gathering.

Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at him. It made someone who wasn’t even scared of death, completely weak at the knees.

Water Fairy was sitting next to her grandfather. At this time, she didn’t even dare to look at Lu Li, unexpectedly even pretending to not recognize him. Her bright face turned slightly red, so embarrassed that she didn’t look right.

The Lu brother and sister really wanted to run.

“Hey, isn’t this Lu Yin?” Someone opened their mouth. It was a middle-aged woman who looked very intelligent and beautiful.

“Teacher…Teacher Zhao…” Lu Yin looked over and spoke obediently, unexpectedly meeting her class teacher.

“You’re Lu Li’s little sister. Come, sit next to me.” The teacher than explained to everyone, “The students in my class are extremely diligent, and their results are improving rapidly. When she first came in, she was ranked 2third . But this time, she was already in the top 3.”

Then everyone praised her for all sorts of things.

After all, Lu Yin was an adorable little girl, the type that you simply couldn’t help loving, let alone her being so good in her studies. In an instant, she had softened the hearts of everyone in the Fan family.

“Don’t hide yourself. Go and introduce him. You’ll have to do it sooner or later,” Water Fairy’s grandfather used his cane to prod his granddaughter’s calf, his face full of joking smiles.

“Ahem, this is Lu Li, my boyfriend, and Yin Yin his little sister,” Water Fairy’s confidence returned to her body, and she was seen introducing everyone one by one.

“My grandfather, you’ve met before,”

“Grandfather!”

“This is my elder uncle, this is my elder aunt, and their children, my oldest cousin, second oldest cousin, and fourth cousin.”

“Elder uncle, elder aunt, big cousin, second cousin, fourth cousin.”

“This is my second uncle, my second aunt, my third cousin, fifth cousin, eighth cousin and ninth cousin.”

“third uncle, third aunt – she’s Yin Yin’s teacher, and sixth cousin, seventh cousin and tenth cousin.”

“fourth uncle, fourth aunt, eleventh cousin, twelfth cousin and thirteenth cousin is sleeping upstairs, he’s only six months old.”

Lu Li greeted all of them one by one, and soon you could see sweat on his head. This was such a giant family.

The old gentleman Mr. Fan had four sons and one daughter. His four sons had given him 13 grandsons, and his only daughter bore him a granddaughter.

Unfortunately, his daughter had passed away very early, just leaving behind a single granddaughter, Water Fairy.

This old man who had 13 grandsons only had one granddaughter!

This family only had this little princess, Water Fairy.

And so, he felt that all of these eyes staring at him were filled with judgement as well as hidden enmity. Saying that the pressure was like a mountain was an understatement.

“The kid is alright,” This was Water Fairy’s eldest uncle. Surprisingly, he didn’t make things difficult for Lu Li.

“Least he’s not a sissy,” the eldest aunt followed her husband.
