"A new member? What do you mean?"

The moment he said that, his mom voiced her confusion, not understanding what her son meant.

"Ahem, well, it’s a gorilla."

Of those present, only Fang Jinjin and Bai Menghan knew Vajra’s identity. His father, mother, and mother-in-law were in the dark, as he hadn’t told them about the plane crash, fearing they would worry.

The moment he said this, his mom was stunned. Then, she asked uncertainly, "What? A gorilla? You’re saying you want to raise a gorilla? Son, do you have too much money and nowhere to spend it? I didn’t say anything when you got two dogs before, but a gorilla is out of the question. It would be terrible if that thing hurt someone."

Hearing his mom mention the two dogs, Fang Chenyi immediately thought of Er Gouzi and Wang Keke. ’I wonder how those two are doing over at Principal Wang’s place.’

After his mom finished, Fang Jinjin, who was at the side, excitedly chimed in:

"Brother, are you saying Vajra is back? Yay, that’s great! Where is the big guy? I’ve kind of missed him."

Although they had only spent a few days together, Vajra’s childlike personality really appealed to Fang Jinjin. For those two days, she had spent all her time running wild with Vajra on the cruise ship. Hearing that he was back, she was instantly thrilled.

"Yeah, he’s back. He’s over at Xiaotian’s place right now. Um, how about I have him come over so you can see? The big guy is very intelligent and understands people."

Hearing that he was already in the villa complex, Father Fang and Mrs. Fang felt like they had no choice. Hesitantly, they asked:

"Son, are you sure he won’t hurt anyone?"

Fang Chenyi immediately promised he wouldn’t, and Fang Jinjin at his side quickly chimed in with praises for Vajra.

Seeing the time was right, Fang Chenyi simply made a call to Qi Xiaotian and asked him to bring Vajra over.

Instantly, his dad and mom started to feel anxious.

A short while later, footsteps could be heard from outside. Then, the door opened, and Qi Xiaotian walked in first.

Everyone was taken aback when they saw only Qi Xiaotian enter. ’Didn’t he say there was a gorilla? Why can’t we see it?’

Just as everyone was wondering, a large, nervous-looking head peeked out from the doorframe.

It peeked timidly into the room. Upon seeing that Fang Chenyi, its boss, was inside, Vajra instantly grew excited.

It darted out from behind the door and ran towards Fang Chenyi.

Just as everyone was getting scared watching this behemoth pounce towards them, they saw Vajra open his arms, ready to give Fang Chenyi a hug.

But just as he opened his arms, he remembered what Fang Chenyi had told him before: ’Don’t just go around hugging people all the time.’

After that thought appeared in Vajra’s mind, the big guy stiffly lowered his outstretched arms to his chest. Then, under everyone’s stunned gazes, he grinned widely and began to bow toward Fang Chenyi with his hands clasped.

Seeing this, the worry in everyone’s hearts eased a little.

At that moment, Fang Jinjin, who was at the side, suddenly called out with a laugh:

"Hey, Vajra, you stinker! You don’t see me?"

Hearing someone call his name, Vajra turned his head and saw Fang Jinjin holding a large chicken drumstick. And so, he completely ignored his boss.

He turned and walked over to Fang Jinjin, then similarly clasped his fists and began to bow to her.

While bowing, he didn’t forget to point at the large chicken drumstick in Fang Jinjin’s hand.

His meaning was clear: he was craving it.

Fang Jinjin had prepared this drumstick for Vajra in the first place. Seeing that he wanted to eat it, she gave a mischievous laugh and said:

"Hehe, what’s that in your pocket? If you want my drumstick, trade that for it. Give me one bill, and I’ll give you the drumstick."

It turned out Vajra’s pocket was currently bulging with the money he had gotten from Fang Chenyi.

When Fang Jinjin saw it, she decided to tease him. So, she pointed a finger at the wad of cash and spoke to Vajra.

Vajra was clearly stunned for a moment after hearing this. Then, as if he had thought of something, he yanked the contents of his pocket out.

Everyone looked. Whoa! The gorilla was holding a stack of money!

And under everyone’s watch, Vajra began to hesitate. He looked at the drumstick in Fang Jinjin’s hand, then looked down at the object in his own hands, and for a moment, he seemed conflicted.

Seeing the big guy’s expression, Father Fang, Mrs. Fang, and the others were amused by how human-like the gorilla was. Their fear of him also lessened.

Seeing this, Fang Jinjin tempted him again:

"You don’t have to give it all to me, just one bill is enough. Give me one bill, and this fragrant, delicious drumstick is all yours."

Originally, both sets of parents heard Fang Jinjin’s complex words and thought, ’There’s no way this big guy can understand that.’ But to their surprise, after she finished speaking, Vajra’s eyes lit up. He actually extended his hand and offered the cash to Fang Jinjin, pointing at the bills and letting out two sharp calls.

He looked as if he was telling Fang Jinjin to take one bill from the stack.

Fang Jinjin didn’t stand on ceremony. She took the wad of cash, pulled out one bill, and then handed the rest of the stack and the large drumstick to Vajra.

Seeing this, Vajra danced with joy. He opened his big mouth, stuffed the entire drumstick inside, and after a few CHOMP CHOMPs, swallowed it down.

Then, he smacked his lips, once again handed the cash in his hand to Fang Jinjin, pointed at the money, then at the roasted chicken on the table, and let out two more calls.

"My god, this gorilla is just too intelligent!"

Mrs. Fang, at the side, was stunned by Vajra’s series of actions. ’This big guy is really acting just like a child. Using money to trade for food isn’t even the most surprising part. The most amazing thing is that the food is right there on the table, yet he didn’t rush over to snatch it. He still wants to use money to trade for it!’

’This isn’t behavior you’d expect from an animal at all!’

Seeing this, Mrs. Fang hesitated for a moment. She picked up the roasted chicken, stood up, and offered it to Vajra. A kind smile appeared on her face as she said:

"Here, you can have this, big guy."

Seeing the roasted chicken Mrs. Fang offered him, Vajra grew excited. However, he didn’t reach out to take it. Instead, he first took the stack of cash from Fang Jinjin’s hand and then offered it to Mrs. Fang.
