My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 183 - 181 Call Mom

At the grand award ceremony.

Lu Wu received the champion’s trophy from Jiang Yuexing’s hands.

With that, the high school league had come to a perfect end.

Next, all Lu Wu had to do was wait for the post-competition rewards to come through.

These weren’t small gains.

The income from advertisements, rewards from Jiangnan for him, the benefits of being in the top three of the high school league.

Lu Wu was excited just thinking about it.

However, what Lu Wu hadn’t expected was that the first thing he’d be waiting for wasn’t any of these, but a notification for a private meeting.

Jiang Yuexing wanted to have a private chat with him!

As soon as Lu Wu heard this, his head buzzed, and his heart could not help but ’thump thump’ wildly.

He wasn’t excited; he was nervous.

His few interactions with Jiang Yuexing had all made Lu Wu sense something ominous.

With the way the Governor looked at him being a bit strange, Lu Wu was somewhat scared and not very keen on meeting her.

After all, his stomach was still fine.

And his Dudu’s looks were still at their peak.

But as the Governor of Jiangnan, it was clear that whether they would have the chat was not for him to decide.

Having already cleaned up before the ceremony, he was immediately taken away by Jiang Yuexing afterwards.

Zhao Kai Ming watched Lu Wu being led away, with nothing but desolation in his eyes.

"Xiao Lu, it’s not that I won’t save you, I’m just as helpless myself right now!"

If it was really as he had speculated.

Zhao Kai Ming felt that he and Lu Wu were, most likely, going to be in trouble.

And he would definitely be in deeper trouble than Lu Wu, since after all, he wasn’t her son.

...

On the other side.

Jiang Yuexing hadn’t taken Lu Wu very far.

She simply brought him directly to the room she had used to watch the competition.

Once back in that room, Jiang Yuexing seated herself on the couch and waved at Lu Wu.

"Come here, in front of me!"

Lu Wu approached nervously and cautiously, stopping two meters in front of Jiang Yuexing, standing up straight.

Jiang Yuexing’s eyebrows lifted: "Closer!"

Lu Wu inched forward again, but Jiang Yuexing, growing impatient, simply hooked her finger, and an invisible force pulled Lu Wu right in front of her.

Lu Wu, feeling flustered with Jiang Yuexing staring at him from such a close distance, said, "Mrs. Jiang..."

"Silent!"

Lu Wu shut his mouth.

Jiang Yuexing then began to examine Lu Wu’s face very carefully, a scrutiny that lasted for five minutes, occasionally even reaching out to touch it.

At first, Lu Wu thought she might be coveting his good looks, but then he noticed that the more Jiang Yuexing stared at his face, the more her expression changed, the more her gaze seemed like that of someone looking at a scumbag.

It had even reached the point where she might whip out a butcher’s knife at any second.

Lu Wu panicked, as he hadn’t done anything wrong, and if he was to be knifed, that would be incredibly unjust!

So, Lu Wu couldn’t keep quiet any longer.

"Mrs. Jiang..."

"Don’t call me Mrs. Jiang!" Jiang Yuexing cut in again, then said, "Call me Mom!"

"What?"

Lu Wu was dumbfounded. Do rich women play that wildly these days?

Jiang Yuexing simply added with an even tone, "Your performance in the high school competition was good, I am very satisfied with you, and I plan to take you in as my adopted son."

At the time, Lu Wu was not pleased, and his eyebrows knitted together.

"Shouldn’t this sort of thing be discussed with me first?"

Jiang Yuexing glanced over, her calm gaze revealing a glint of a cleaver, and Lu Wu instantly got the message.

"Um, I mean, I have no objections!"

Jiang Yuexing seemed quite pleased with that.

"If you have no objections, then from today onward, you are my son, Jiang Yuexing’s son!"

Fine, you have the bigger fists, you have the cleaver, whatever you say goes.

Since he couldn’t resist, Lu Wu had no choice but to accept.

"So, can I start calling you ’Mom’ now?"

Saying this, Lu Wu even tentatively called out, "Mommy!"

And wouldn’t you know, Lu Wu adapted to the situation quite quickly.

This was mainly because things were different from when Li Ruyu was in the picture; back then, Lu Wu had just traveled through time and felt the guilt of being a cuckoo in the nest.

Now, Lu Wu had no such guilt; he only had one thought in his head.

He was being taken advantage of, and he needed to figure out how to get some benefits in return, so he shouted with especial shamelessness and emotion.

Unexpectedly, when he called out, the face of the mature woman with the queenly air immediately turned red, and a wave of girlish shyness surged forth, the extreme contrast bewildering Lu Wu.

He stood there, dumbfounded.

By the time Lu Wu snapped out of it, Jiang Yuexing had already regained her queenly demeanor; except for a slight flush on her face, there was no sign of her previous reaction, leading Lu Wu to wonder if he had just hallucinated.

To verify, Lu Wu called out again with emotion.

This time, Jiang Yuexing, prepared for it, maintained her queenly persona, though her face flushed slightly.

Seeing this, Lu Wu sweetened up his words.

He fervently called her ’Mom’ left and right, mixing in some compliments for good measure.

After all, even if his performance was a bit shameless to the point where even he felt his face getting hot.

He didn’t want to just casually call someone ’Mom.’

But she was the Governor, and she had a cleaver, so calling her ’Mom’ for survival’s sake wasn’t embarrassing.

Of course, it was also because of Jiang Yuexing’s good looks that Lu Wu could call her ’Mom’ so naturally.

If she were less attractive, Lu Wu would probably have remained defiant.

"Mom, this all happened so suddenly, I don’t have anything on me to give as a gift, so how about I give you this necklace as a token of my filial respect?"

Having said his piece, Lu Wu began his charm offensive and took off the necklace around his neck, presenting it to her with respect.

Jiang Yuexing was initially very dismissive and resistant; after all, the necklace was taken off Lu Wu’s neck, and it didn’t look impressive.

Besides, she was the Governor of Jiangnan; could she not see through Lu Wu’s petty schemes?

But before she could refuse, Lu Wu added a line.

"I’ll tell you, although this necklace is just an ordinary one from the street stalls, it’s the first gift my father gave me. I’ve always treated it like a protective talisman, feeling like my father was silently watching over me, and now I’m giving it to you.

Let it protect you for me!"

Although everything Lu Wu said was a pack of lies,

The moment those words came out,

Jiang Yuexing suddenly felt the necklace in Lu Wu’s hand shine much brighter than before, and she couldn’t bring herself to refuse.

She happily accepted the necklace.

In that instant, Lu Wu felt that the woman in front of him was not some powerful and authoritative Queen Governor, but rather a gullible maiden with spring fever.

Lu Wu even considered whether he could trick her into more benefits.

Then, he saw Jiang Yuexing smiling at him.

"Good, I am very satisfied with your gift, and as your adoptive mother, I’ll also give you a gift in return!"

...

Woke up late this morning, a shorter post can be forgiven, right?
