Chapter 54

Lip walked back dejectedly from the deserted street.

"How could this old bastard walk away so easily?"

"I still want to deal with this Bi Qi later to make up for the debts I've incurred over the years!"

"Farke!"

Lip kicked a plastic bottle on the road, and two tears escaped from the corners of his eyes.

More than ten minutes later, Lip returned home.

The whole family was gathered around the kitchen, each with a sad or troubled expression. Fiona and Debbie's eyes were even red from crying.

"Don't worry! 'Good people don't live long, but harm lasts for thousands of years.' Frank just changed places and continued to cause harm to the world."

Lip's words made everyone look up at him in surprise.

"Why are you looking at me? In the past, when he was caught stealing and beaten, we all thought he wouldn't survive another day, but in the end, he's still alive and kicking."

"Then why are you chasing after him like crazy?" Fiona asked.

"Hey, everyone has seen what this old bastard has done over the years! Don't tell me that Frank is gone, and you don't want revenge?"

Lip's eyes swept over his brothers and sisters.

"Yes! Farke!" Fiona wiped away her tears, slamming the table. "It's too easy to just let this bastard go. He deserves a good beating!"

"Farke!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and the Gallagher family was instantly revived, their spirits restored.

"I'll get Mandy," Lip said and walked upstairs.

"This girl really sleeps deeply! With all this noise, there's no way she wouldn't wake up." Lip shook his head.

But as soon as he entered the room and turned on the light, he saw Mandy curled up in a ball on the bed like a frightened little rabbit.

"Lip~" Mandy called softly.

Lip quickly stepped forward and hugged her. "Little fool, what's wrong with you?"

"I dreamt about you," Mandy said, looking distressed. "You were running wildly, chasing someone. But you didn't catch me in the end. You cursed loudly, kicked things on the roadside, and then shed tears."

"I felt so distressed, but you didn't answer me no matter how I called. I wanted to hug you, but I suddenly woke up. I turned on the light, but you weren't here. I felt so empty inside."

Lip was shocked. Mandy's dream was exactly what he had done while chasing Frank.

It seemed that this girl really cared deeply for him, or else she wouldn't have dreamt about things so closely related to him.

"Little fool, if I'm gone for a while, you have nightmares?" Lip gently stroked Mandy's back.

After a few moments, he lifted her chin and kissed her.

More than ten minutes passed before Mandy's face turned pink, cute and beautiful.

"Come on, let's go downstairs for breakfast," Lip said softly.

"So early?"

"You little fool, the early bird catches the worm!"

"I think the early bird gets eaten by the early bird." Mandy gently hit Lip with a smile. "Lip, I don't want to be eaten just yet. It still hurts down there!"

"Fool, I know. After you finish your meal early, do I have to give you tutoring lessons too?"

"Ah? Tuition?"

"What's up? Are elementary school scumbags scared?"

"Humph~ I wasn't afraid of learning last night, let alone these things. Come on, let's go! But why did you suddenly decide to tutor me?"

"Because I'm going to the University of Chicago next year, and I won't be able to tutor you anytime after I leave, so I'm going to seize the time!"

"Oh, fine!" A hint of disappointment flashed in Mandy's voice.

"Fool, if I help you catch up, you'll get into the University of Chicago. Then you'll be my junior high school girl!" Lip said with a mischievous smile. "Senior, you can't escape the clutches of your senior. The senior wants to stay and live with you."

"Oops, hahaha, Lip, stop it! Let's go downstairs quickly, so everyone doesn't have to wait anxiously," Mandy said with a happy smile.

In fact, it was only on the way home that Lip decided to let Mandy go to the University of Chicago with him.

Not only Mandy, but also Karen, and any other girls he might be with before going to college.

Lip planned to buy a house near the University of Chicago as his base.

After a while, Mandy and Lip went downstairs after getting dressed.

The family sat around the table, enjoying a fragrant, hot breakfast together.

After a glass of hot milk, Lip felt all his gloom and negativity vanish. He ate the steak Mandy had cut for him in one bite.

Lip felt very happy.

Just as he cut off a small piece of steak and offered it to Mandy, his phone rang.

Lip chose to ignore it and didn't touch the phone after Mandy blushed and ate the steak.

But the caller seemed persistent and kept calling.

Lip impatiently picked up the phone and clicked to answer, his tone cold.

"Hello?"

"Li…Li Pu." Jessica noticed Lip's cold tone and got scared. She only managed to call his name and didn't dare continue.

"Jessica, what do you want from me?"

"I… I missed you as soon as I woke up, so…" Jessica's voice was a little shy.

"Jessica, I think your ass hasn't been spanked enough."

"Huh~, then come and take care of me!" Jessica snapped, losing her temper, and hung up immediately.

"Damn Lip, stinky Lip, you're such a bastard, ignoring my feelings like this!" Jessica pounded her pillow angrily.

But Lip frowned slightly, thinking: I must teach this little girl a lesson today, or she'll think she's in charge in front of me!

"Lip, who is Jessica?" Mandy asked, looking at Lip with wide, innocent eyes.

"The maid will be under your control from now on!" Lip teased.

He originally planned to have Mandy, a good wife and mother, take care of his back garden in the future.

After breakfast, Lip took Mandy to a quiet café for tutoring.

After tutoring until noon, he took Mandy to eat something delicious and then sent her home. Lip set off directly for Longguo City.

But as he got on the subway, Lip realized he should get a car. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to go anywhere.
