Lu Qiuran’s eyes turned red again, but she did not say anything. Because of Wu Ju’s cold attitude, Wang Zixiao and the others did not speak and ate in silence.
The food was appetizing, but they did not want to eat it. To be precise, they were angry.
Wu Ju did not mind at all. He sat down and continued eating.
Jiang Tongtong liked to eat, but she did not want anyone to be noticed, so she wanted to put it down after eating. Unexpectedly, Wu Ju scooped a spoonful of rice for her. Her heart warmed and she continued to eat silently.
This pig trotter really smelled good. It was the same with the fungus. It was so fresh and delicious.
After dinner, Lu Qiuran and the others had already gone out to sit in the courtyard to watch the stars and drink tea.
Jiang Tongtong stayed behind to help Wu Ju wash the dishes.
Jiang Tongtong was very afraid that Wu Ju would chase her out too. She did not fit in. If she went out, she would only feel uncomfortable and embarrassed.
Wu Ju knew that this girl was seriously ill and that it would take some effort to treat her. He did not say anything. The two of them cleaned up the kitchen.
While washing his hands, Wu Ju said, “Wash your hands. I have something to say.”
Jiang Tongtong wanted to wash her hands and return to her room silently. When she heard that, she nodded. “Okay.”
Wu Ju left the kitchen. In the middle of the temple courtyard, Lu Qiuran, Wang Zixiao, and the others were playing games. They were all happy.
When Wu Ju walked over, everyone stopped smiling.
Lu Qiuran also seemed to be a little afraid and called out in a low voice, “Father.”
Wu Ju sat down in the empty seat.
With him around, the originally relaxed atmosphere became intense.
Jiang Tongtong came out. She was uneasy.
When Wu Ju saw Jiang Tongtong come out, he said, “Come and sit. Everyone is here. I have something to say.”
Lu Qiuran couldn’t help but look up in confusion. In her impression, her adoptive father was extremely rigid and boring. He was quiet and arrogant, but he cultivated his mind, so he could suppress it no matter how angry he was. Lu Qiuran knew where his bottom line was, so she never crossed the line.
Sui Yuan smiled. “Master Lu, if you have something to say, just say it. We’re all listening.”
The few of them formed a tacit understanding and remained obedient.
Wu Ju’s expression was calm. “Qiuran said that your show will be aired on the television station in the future, right?”
Mo Xue and Chu Nan nodded. “Yes.”
Lu Qiuran also nodded obediently. “Yes, Father.”
Wu Ju nodded faintly. “You will stay here for at least a month. Thirty days a month, we have to spend time together. 1 heard from Qiuran that this is a relaxing show. 1 believe your parents will see it after it is aired.”
They nodded again. There was no need to wait for the show to air. They were all watching it now.
The few of them looked at Wu Ju with strange expressions because they realized a problem. The old monk in front of them did not know that this was a live broadcast.
He did not know that every word he said and every emotion he showed had been seen. Lu Qiuran did not tell him this.
Wu Ju knocked on the stone table with a cold expression. “Lu Qiuran, stop looking at the phone.”
The stern voice frightened them so much that their hands trembled.
Lu Qiuran looked up, as if she was frightened. “Father.”
Wu Ju’s expression was cold. “Put down your phones. 1 hope you can remember what I’m about to say. If you can’t, then I’m sorry. Please leave.”
Lu Qiuran’s face turned pale as she endured the grievance.
Lu Qiuran heard the director’s voice in her ear. “Qiuran, listen to your father.”
Lu Qiuran forced a smile and said, “Father, go ahead. We’ll be obedient.”
Her aggrieved tone made her sound like a little girl who had no one to rely on.
Wu Ju said coldly, “Qingshan Temple is a good place. Since you’re here, you can’t disturb my cultivation as you please. From tomorrow onwards, 1 hope you won’t be playing with your phones anymore. Come with me to the temple hall at seven in the morning to chant the Tranquil Scripture for an hour. At eight, we’ll make breakfast in pairs. For lunch and dinner, you have to fend for yourself. You have to keep the kitchen clean.”
Before Lu Qiuran could answer, she heard the director’s excited voice. “Quick. Agree to it..”
