Using an Excuse to the End

After Alex finished his bow to the elders, everyone remained silent.

He tilted his head and imitated with uncanny accuracy, "Congratulations on getting rich~ Congratulations on being brilliant~!"

Susie said, "The best ones come forward, and the rest can leave."

Alex and Susie sang together, "Oh, many guests, no offense~"

Mrs. Alana twitched her mouth.

Paul had been scolded twice, and had been avoiding going out these days. When he went downstairs, he heard Susie and Alex singing and took out two red envelopes on a whim.

One for Susie.

One for Alex.

Susie and Alex were both overjoyed!

Susie held the red envelope and thanked her "Uncle Jenkins" with all her might.

Alex held the red envelope in his mouth and placed it in Susie's hand. He was also happy and said, "Thank you, Uncle Jenkins!"

Everyone was confused.

It's not even New Year yet, and there are still four months to go. Why are you carrying red envelopes with you?

Uncle Jenkins didn't change his expression and smiled slightly, "These were not given out during New Year, and I just happened to find them in my pocket."

No one knew that he secretly searched online for ways to ward off evil spirits in daily life. Netizens said that you must carry red envelopes with you, not too big, just for symbolic purposes.

Paul... believed it.

But no one else did. Who would coincidentally find two red envelopes in their pocket? Especially when you're wearing summer pants, not winter pants.

Besides, he was wearing home clothes!

Mrs. Alana said, "Okay, let's pick out clothes! School starts tomorrow."

Susie and Lucy happily went to try on clothes.

Nathan followed closely behind Susie, and Megan, who was originally sitting with her arms crossed, was also pulled away by Susie.

Wade and Hamza just watched silently.

The two brothers took out their phones simultaneously and chose online shopping.

Actually, the clothes they had before were still wearable after a few days...

In the afternoon, Paul packed his things as his vacation ended and he had to go back to work.

He went to Susie's room and knocked on the door.

Susie poked half of her head out and was surprised to see Paul dressed properly. She asked, "Uncle Jenkins, are you going to work?"

They had barely spent any time together, even with Uncle Jenkins. The only memorable time was when they went to the haunted house.

Paul replied, "My vacation is over, and Uncle Jenkins has to go to work."

He squatted down and gently touched Susie's hair, saying, "Uncle Jenkins will come back when it's New Year."

Susie nodded, "Okay ヾ(≧▽≦*)o"

After a pause, Paul felt a bit embarrassed and said, "The red envelope just now was too small. Uncle Jenkins will give you a big red envelope during New Year."

Susie replied, "Okay, hurry up and go, Uncle Jenkins!"

Paul was taken aback by her response. This little girl was so heartless! He smiled helplessly and looked at the time. Although it was only a few short days, it was still more thrilling than half of his life. Unconsciously, he was becoming more reluctant to leave Susie.

"Uncle Jenkins is leaving."

Suddenly, Susie said, "Wait."

Paul responded with a sound of "Hmm?" Was this little girl reluctant to see him go?

Then Susie ran into the room and took out a stack of talismans, looking heroic. "Uncle Jenkins, take this!"

Paul asked, "What is this?"

Susie said, "A protective talisman! You wear it, and no one can touch you!"

Paul was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Susie!"

Susie waved her hand and watched Uncle Jenkins go downstairs and out of the door. She quickly ran to the balcony and leaned on the windowsill to watch him leave.

In America.

Eric sat cross-legged on the bed, staring at the divination in front of him, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"What's going on? I can't even figure it out?"

Since the incident with the bride ghost in the haunted house, Eric felt that he had encountered a formidable opponent, the person who had taken the bride ghost was very powerful.

The person who caught him this time might also be that person!

So, he wanted to figure out who that person was, any hint would be good!

But he couldn't even glimpse a bit of it!

Eric was alarmed, who was this person, was he really that powerful?

Just as he was thinking about it, the doorbell rang.

Eric walked to the door and asked warily, "Who is it?"

A woman said in broken English, "Do you need services?"

Eric frowned. To avoid being pursued, he would go wherever was remote. In the middle of the night, there would be some women coming to provide services in this hotel, and he had gotten used to it these past few days.

"No need!" Eric said, turning around to go back to his room.

Suddenly, the door was kicked open with a bang, and a rather cold voice said, "Don't move! Checking the water meter!"

Eric remained silent.

This was a hotel, what water meter were they checking?

This kind of distinctive phrase could only be found in America - when apprehending suspects, in order to reduce their alertness, they usually used reasons like checking the water meter, repairing gas pipes, and gas inspections.

So, this was...

Without thinking, Eric turned around and ran!

Inside the room were his equipment, a large number of talismans, and some paper dolls made by his bald disciple.

He couldn't kill the other person, but he could still escape!

Kellen sneered and waved his hand, a stack of yellow talismans flew out with a clatter.

Like they had eyes, all the talismans stuck to Eric's body, and Kellen kicked him down and stepped on him!

Eric was shocked and angry, "Why are you arresting me!"

Kellen glanced at the blonde, busty woman at the door, raised an eyebrow, and said lightly, "Busting prostitution."

Eric remained silent.
