"elder brother."
Chu Jiaming withdrew his gaze after hearing his sister's voice. He pulled Chu Jiaxi and quickly walked to the sofa opposite Hua Jianming and sat down.
"You are the owner of the breeding house, right?"
Chu Jiaming poured two cups of warm tea and handed one to Chu Jiaxi attentively. He put on a gentle face and said, "Sister, have some tea."
Seeing that she had become the focus of everyone again, Chu Jiaxi hurriedly took the tea, drank it in one gulp, and put it back on the table.
"I am from the Chu family in Xin Province. Chu Jiaxi is my biological sister. I came here to take her home."
Chu Jiaming took a sip of tea and continued, "As for compensation, after I bring Jiaxi back to the Chu family, someone will naturally contact your lawyer."
Chu Jiaming's words were straightforward and direct, without any hesitation.
But I don’t know if it’s because he has been a rich young master for too long, he speaks in a haughty and overbearing manner.
"Do you know that you can easily get beaten if you do this?" Hua Jianming couldn't help but mutter softly.
"what?"
Chu Jiaming didn't hear it clearly, but Xia Rushuang beside him laughed out loud.
"Indeed."
Xia Rushuang regained control of her facial expression and looked at Hua Jianming seriously.
Chu Jiaming, who didn't understand what was going on, just watched the two of them playing charades and ignored them. He only had eyes for his sister.
"Boss, I'm back."
At this time, Cao Moxuan walked in from the back door and threw the Poké Ball in his hand to Hua Jianming.
"I have something else to do. I'll go to the commercial street first."
Hua Jianming clearly understood what this guy was doing, and he teased, "Are you sure you don't want to stay and learn from the experience?"
Cao Moxuan stopped and thought seriously.
It seems like I really should learn more.
"Thanks for the reminder, boss. Although I don't have an older brother-in-law, I seem to have a younger brother-in-law. Learning from his experience now may be useful in the future."
Cao Moxuan came to Chi Baixia and they sat together on the high chairs at the bar.
Chu Jiaming frowned when he heard the name "brother-in-law" again, but thinking of Cao Moxuan's Boskodora who could only fight one against two, he chose to endure it temporarily.
Chapter 288: Chu Jiaming
Chu Jiaming was about to speak when he was interrupted by Hua Jianming: "The problem now is that I won't let you leave easily before I receive your compensation."
"Also..." Hua Jianming glanced at Chi Baixia and Chu Jiaxi respectively, and continued: "Jiaxi and I are friends. If she doesn't want to leave, no one can force her to leave."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaxi raised her head and looked at Hua Jianming with a grateful expression.
"I am Jiaxi's brother."
Chu Jiaming was afraid that Hua Jianming would not believe him, so he emphasized, "He is my biological brother!"
"In short, I won't owe you a penny of the compensation, but I have to wait for my lawyer to come and re-evaluate before I can determine the amount of compensation."
Hua Jianming waved his hands impatiently and said, "Okay, I don't care about Jiaxi's affairs. As long as you can convince her or defeat Bai Xia, you can take her away if you complete either of them."
Convince his sister? Defeat Chi Baixia?
Chu Jiaming felt that both conditions seemed a bit difficult.
"But compared to this, I think you should consider the compensation first. Without compensation, you can't leave the breeding house."
"you!"
When Chu Jiaming was about to lose his temper again, a burning sensation swept over him from his back.
A small fish was swimming in the air, looking very cute, but the aura it released was so amazing.
grunt.
"So, can I make a phone call?"
Chu Jiaming placed the danger level of this inexplicably appearing elf on the same level as that of the leopard just now.
Without waiting for Hua Jianming to answer, he was about to take out his cell phone to make a call.
Huh?
Where's my phone?
Chu Jiaming was embarrassed to find that he didn't seem to have a mobile phone on him.
He didn't believe it and searched here and there, but couldn't figure out what it was.
"Sorry, wait a moment."
Chu Jiaming gave Hua Jianming an apologetic expression and then looked at his sister.
"Sister, can you lend me your phone to make a call?"
"This one……"
When Chu Jiaxi heard her brother asking her for her cell phone, she lowered her head a little embarrassedly, her two index fingers circling around.
"Brother, Jiaxi threw away her phone a long time ago because she was afraid that you would find her. She doesn't use her phone now."
Cao Moxuan answered his brother on behalf of Chu Jiaxi.
At this moment, Chu Jiaming didn't care about how Cao Moxuan addressed him. He just stared at his sister blankly. He must have thrown away his phone because he didn't want to go home.
Xia Rushuang approached Hua Jianming and asked, "Isn't Jiaxi Bai Xia's girlfriend?"
"yes?"
Hua Jianming looked at Xia Rushuang in confusion. What’s the point of this question?
"Then why does brother Mo Xuan call Jiaxi's brother 'brother-in-law'?" Xia Rushuang expressed her doubts.
"Because he is Bai Xia's good brother, of course I should call him Bai Xia." After hearing Xia Rushuang's question, Hua Jianming immediately understood the key point: "This is probably due to differences in local customs."
"I see."
On the sofa opposite,
Chu Jiaming looked at his sister sadly and choked up several times: "Sister, don't you even want to contact me?"
"I...didn't I tell you my location?" Chu Jiaxi also answered her brother aggrievedly.
"Then why did you throw away your phone? They must have lied to me, right?" A light called "hope" appeared on Chu Jiaming's face again.
"Because the person who called you was your brother-in-law's cell phone." Cao Moxuan answered again.
"Brother-in-law, where did I get my brother-in-law?"
Chu Jiaming, who didn't react for a moment, raised his head as if he wanted to look for the person called "brother-in-law".
wrong!
"Damn bastard!"
Chu Jiaming glared at Cao Moxuan, then turned his attention to Chi Baixia who looked innocent next to him.
"Chi Baixia!"
"Your eldest brother-in-law seems to have a bad temper."
Cao Moxuan was not afraid of Chu Jiaming at all. He nudged Chi Baixia beside him with his elbow and deliberately became louder.
"When you marry Jiaxi, you should avoid interacting with this kind of brother-in-law." Cao Moxuan said even louder, "It can easily damage the harmonious relationship between husband and wife."
"you!"
"Humph!"
Chu Jiaming was helpless and could only snort coldly to express his anger.
"Brother, why don't you go home first?"
Hearing his sister's caring words, Chu Jiaming smiled helplessly: "The old man said that if I don't take you back, don't go back."
"Besides, I was going to take you back. There are too many monsters and demons here."
Chu Jiaming also deliberately spoke loudly, and from time to time he glanced at Chi Baixia and Cao Moxuan who were sitting at the bar.
As for Hua Jianming and Xia Rushuang who were sitting opposite, in Chu Jiaming's eyes now, they looked much more handsome than those two guys.
"But brother, I want to live here for a while."
"you…"
Chu Jiaming confirmed again: "Have you decided?"
"Ah."
Chu Jiaxi nodded aggrievedly.
"OK then."
"But I have to watch you here." Chu Jiaming added.
Chu Jiaming, who couldn't bear to see his sister suffer, could only choose to compromise. He looked at Hua Jianming.
"Boss, I will compensate you for all your losses. I would also like to stay here for a while. The price is negotiable."
The original amount of compensation was nothing to the Chu family. Chu Jiaming was unwilling at first only because he felt that Hua Jianming's request was too high and he was unwilling to accept it.
Now that he has decided to stay here, he naturally won't care about those things.
"can."
Hua Jianming's answer made Chu Jiaming breathe a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Hua Jianming would continue to make things difficult for him.
The pressure from the leopard and the fish is too great, the boss's strength is definitely not simple.
"Oh, sister, the old man asked me to bring you a little elf." Before Chu Jiaxi could answer, Chu Jiaming turned to look at Hua Jianming: "Boss, can we release the little elf here?"
"of course."
To be honest, Hua Jianming was also very curious about what kind of Pokémon the family that could afford the Dragon-headed Ground Rat and the Sharp-toothed Land Shark would prepare for their daughter.
