Chapter 1161: Chapter 1163: What Wish
Although the housekeeper has worked as the housekeeper of the Yuwen Family for so many years, he hasn’t forgotten his original line of work.
He has quite a knack for accounting and is very experienced in managent as well.
Because of this, Long Ang often consults him on these matters.
To avoid drawing attention, the housekeeper has changed out of his monotonous housekeeper attire and donned casual wear, which makes him look a few years younger.
"Housekeeper, thank you so much these days. Without your help, the bar’s accounts would surely be a ss."
Long Ang thanked the housekeeper sincerely.
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Mr. Long, you’re too polite. This is what I should do. I cannot just live off Mr. Chu without contributing anything, so doing what I can makes
feel at ease."
Long Ang put away the ledger and poured the housekeeper a glass of water, handing it to him, "Actually, you don’t need to be so formal with Mr. Chu. He is a very good person and won’t mind these things."
The housekeeper chuckled, "In the ti I’ve been here, I’ve co to realize the feelings you have for Mr. Chu are quite special. At such a young age, having brothers to face life and death with is truly rare."
Long Ang surveyed the bar, and since it was morning, there weren’t many people around, leaving it empty and quiet.
He nodded in agreent: "Yes, it was after leaving the Dragon Group that I t Mr. Chu and his friends. They taught
that in this world, besides killing and scheming, there’s also precious brotherhood and friendship."
The housekeeper looked at him curiously, "You just ntioned the Dragon Group?"
The housekeeper knew Long Ang and Chu Ge weren’t ordinary people but couldn’t imagine what fields and skills they were truly capable of.
Regarding a na like the Dragon Group, he had never heard of it, so he felt a bit curious when Long Ang ntioned it.
Long Ang nodded, saying, "It’s a place I used to work, my first ho, but now I can never go back."
He didn’t want to go back, although the Dragon Group held a unique sentint for him, one that no one could replace.
But people must look forward. Since the Dragon Group is completely unreachable now, he’ll bury his special feelings for it deep in his heart.
"As for here, it’s my second ho." Long Ang smiled, "Though Lin Dong and Lin Zhao may seem carefree, they’re also the ones who value friendship the most. Everyone helps when there are difficulties; it’s just that their words can be sharp at tis."
Long Ang said this in hopes the housekeeper wouldn’t mind.
Regardless, the housekeeper’s identity is prominent here. Although he’s the housekeeper of a prestigious family, he’s a favored person in front of Old Master Yu Wen, and Long Ang feared he might take offense to Lin Dong’s earlier jab.
The housekeeper seed to notice Long Ang’s worry and smiled, "Mr. Long, you worry too much. They seem about the sa age as my son, and how could I possibly mind the younger generation?"
Long Ang was startled, then looked at the housekeeper with surprise, "Oh? You have a son?"
The housekeeper’s eyes flashed with lancholy as he nodded, his tone sowhat sad, "Yes, I have a son. If he were still alive, he’d be about the sa age as Mr. Chu."
Long Ang realized he’d misspoken, and apologetically looked at the housekeeper, saying, "Sorry, I didn’t know about your son..."
"It’s fine. It’s been so long, and I should move on. Luckily, I still have a little daughter, and though she’s young, she sohow eases the pain of losing our son."
Long Ang and the housekeeper talked a lot, and before they knew it, it was noon.
The housekeeper checked the ti, then said to Long Ang, "It’s about ti, people will arrive soon. I’ll head back to the villa to make lunch for everyone."
With that, he turned to leave.
Long Ang quickly stopped him, saying, "Housekeeper, don’t worry about it. Mr. Chu said he’d treat us to lunch outside today."
The housekeeper looked at him curiously, "Oh? Is it a special occasion today?"
Long Ang smiled, explaining, "Mr. Chu usually treats us to als outside, but today is indeed special, it’s Lin Dong’s birthday."
"Oh? Really?" The housekeeper was taken aback and rubbed his hands, "What to do now?"
Long Ang looked at him, puzzled, "Housekeeper, what’s wrong?"
"I didn’t know it was his birthday, and I didn’t prepare a gift."
The housekeeper said, a bit embarrassed.
Long Ang chuckled, "It’s not a big deal. I don’t think Lin Dong would mind. Besides, Lin Dong doesn’t even know we’re celebrating his birthday today; everyone is still keeping it a secret from him. Mr. Chu wants to surprise him."
The housekeeper had learned a lot about these people at the Gambling Stone Field in recent days. He knew Lin Dong grew up in an orphanage, missing parental love since childhood.
Recalling his own son who had died early, he sighed inwardly and said to Long Ang, "There’s still so ti before lunch, I’ll head out for a bit and be back soon."
Long Ang intended to ask what he was going to do, but he quickly understood and didn’t pursue the question further, nodding lightly, "Go ahead."
anwhile, at the Gambling Stone Field, Lin Zhao and Gu Tong were busy with their tasks, as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
Lin Dong hadn’t noticed anything unusual either, and he hadn’t even rembered today was his birthday.
Growing up in the orphanage, the idea of celebrating a birthday was a luxurious thought to him, so he had never dared hope to have a proper birthday celebration.
"Lin Dong, do you have any special wishes you want fulfilled?"
Lin Zhao couldn’t help but ask, patting Lin Dong’s shoulder.
Lin Dong looked at him puzzled, "Why the sudden question?"
Lin Zhao worried Lin Dong might read his mind, and he cleared his throat, saying, "Oh, nothing really, just curious, wanted to know."
Lin Dong gave him a peculiar look, "Why, if I state my wish, are you going to fulfill it or what?"
Lin Zhao stroked his chin, pretending to be mysterious, "I might actually be able to fulfill it, you know."
Lin Dong scoffed lightly, "Co on, even your own wishes aren’t fulfilled yet, and you want to fulfill mine?"
Lin Zhao pouted, "Do you know what my wish is? How do you know it hasn’t co true?"
Lin Dong shook his head, "I don’t know what your wish is, but from your questions just now, I can sense your wish definitely hasn’t been realized. Otherwise, why would you ask ?"
