109: Cherish the time between mother and child

Chapter 109 Cherish Mother-Son Time

Li Zhiyan felt a little emotional.

This time, Zhao Manman’s stay was indeed a bit long.

As a filial child, he was naturally reluctant to part with Zhao Manman.

However, he also knew that some things were inevitable.

“That’s why I want to spend more time with the children, not just you, but also Xiao Ting and Da Ting Bao.”

Zhao Manman knew that her three, herself and her two daughters, truly couldn’t do without Li Zhiyan.

She would have to spend quality time with her daughters in the coming days.

Cherishing the rare parent-child moments.

Li Zhiyan understood this perfectly.

“Alright, Mom, when I get back, I’ll stay by your side every day.”

Li Zhiyan said earnestly; he truly enjoyed being with Zhao Manman and experiencing that mother-son affection.

“Okay, then Mom will wait for you to come back.”

After chatting with Zhao Manman for a while, Li Zhiyan hung up the phone.

He walked hand-in-hand with Su Xiaojin under the streetlights.

Although the weather was a bit cold, Li Zhiyan was enjoying the current feeling immensely.

“The weather has really turned cold now.”

After feeling the chilly temperature, Su Xiaojin was eager to go home.

At this moment, snuggling into bed was truly the most comfortable thing.

“Mhm…”

“Sister, let’s go home quickly.”

Upon arriving home, Li Zhiyan saw the other two girls who shared the rental apartment watching a drama.

“This is my younger brother, Li Zhiyan; he’ll be staying with us temporarily. I’ll have him sleep in my room, so he won’t disturb anyone.”

Seeing how handsome Li Zhiyan was, the two girls came forward.

They wanted to get to know Li Zhiyan better.

Looking at the two women’s expressions, Su Xiaojin felt a bit sour.

This boy was truly popular wherever he went now.

Why hadn’t she noticed before that he would become so likable when he grew up?

She felt a complex emotion.

Su Xiaojin went to take a shower.

When she came out wrapped in a bath towel, she saw Li Zhiyan chatting with her two roommates.

She felt a bit sour inside again.

“Alright, Xiao Yan, go take a shower quickly and then sleep.”

“Okay, I got it.”

Li Zhiyan also went to take a shower.

When he came out of the bathroom, Su Xiaojin’s two roommates had already gone to sleep.

The living room was very empty.

Li Zhiyan went directly to Su Xiaojin’s room.

Seeing Su Xiaojin lying on the bed playing with her phone.

Li Zhiyan exclaimed, “Sister, why didn’t I notice your figure was so good before? It’s not at all inferior to Wu Yuexian’s.”

Su Xiaojin looked at Li Zhiyan with a strange gaze.

“You… noticed Wu Yuexian’s figure?”

Li Zhiyan coughed. Not only had he noticed her figure.

Now, he could say he knew everything; they even often exercised together in Modu.

“Time to sleep, time to sleep.”

“Sister, where do I sleep?”

Standing up, Su Xiaojin took a thin blanket from the wardrobe.

Then she handed it to Li Zhiyan.

“You sleep on the left, I sleep on the right.”

“One small blanket each.”

“Anyway, it’s not very cold at night this time of year.”

After Li Zhiyan lay down to sleep…

He remembered Su Xiaolong’s matter. Su Xiaolong had called Su Xiaojin today.

Although he didn’t continue to talk about it, Li Zhiyan felt that this matter probably wouldn’t end so easily.

After all, human desires are endless.

Once some things are touched, they are completely ruined.

After a while, Su Xiaojin, with her eyes closed, said, “Xiao Yan, do you think Su Xiaolong really hasn’t encountered anything?”

Li Zhiyan also knew that Su Xiaojin must have had some premonition.

She wasn’t stupid; she must have had a feeling about some things.

However, with him there, Su Xiaojin didn’t need to worry about anything at all.

“Sister, don’t worry, no matter what happens, don’t I have me by your side?”

“Are you afraid that something will harm you?”

Hearing this, Su Xiaojin also grabbed Li Zhiyan’s hand.

Feeling a surge of security, Su Xiaojin completely believed Li Zhiyan’s words.

She also knew very well that Li Zhiyan could easily solve all problems.

“Sleep…”

“It’s late.”

Su Xiaojin held Li Zhiyan’s hand and didn’t let go, and the two slowly drifted into dreamland.

…

At this moment, Su Xiaolong, holding the fifty thousand yuan he had just scammed, once again plunged into online gambling.

He didn’t gamble in the dormitory.

Instead, he secretly came to the school garden.

He started placing bets.

“Hit!”

“Hit!”

Looking at the numbers on the roulette wheel, Su Xiaolong felt his heart rate accelerate.

Perhaps, he could make a huge profit with this one bet!

As the pointer stopped on the number he had bet on.

He immediately let out a strange cry!

“Fifty thousand! I won fifty thousand with this one bet!”

“If I had bet all my principal just now.”

“Then wouldn’t I have millions now…”

Thinking of the scene where his bank card had millions more.

Su Xiaolong’s heart was filled with uncontrollable ecstasy.

If he could earn millions in his freshman year.

Then his future would definitely be limitless.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaolong continued to place bets.

In the following time, he always hit a win when he was about to lose everything…

But as time went on, his principal kept decreasing.

When he had only a little over twenty thousand left as principal.

His heart completely panicked.

If this continued, he wouldn’t have a chance to turn things around.

“Why not make one big bet, and go all in!”

Looking at the beautiful female dealer in the software.

His heart went completely insane, and then he bet all his remaining principal.

“Miracle!”

“Miracle!”

As the pointer continued to spin, Su Xiaolong uttered words of faith!

Hoping for a miracle that would allow him to make a big profit.

But…

Soon, he completely experienced what despair felt like.

The number he bet on didn’t hit.

His principal also, at this moment, completely returned to zero.

“It’s gone, everything’s gone…”

Sitting on the ground, Su Xiaolong’s heart was filled with regret and despair…

Why didn’t he play other games.

If he had played other games, perhaps he would have completely turned things around.

Sitting on the ground, Su Xiaolong stayed up all night.

In the morning, as the sun shone on him, Su Xiaolong received a phone call that made him feel extremely scared.

“Su Xiaolong, how about it, do you have money to repay?”

Su Xiaolong asked cautiously, “It’s not time to repay yet, is it?”

“It’s nothing, I just wanted to ask you if you want more money to turn things around.”

Hearing the other party’s words, Su Xiaolong felt a surge of ecstasy.

Before, after he had maxed out his online loans, he couldn’t get any more funds.

This private online loan company called him, and that’s how he borrowed so much money.

Now they were willing to lend him money again?

“You, are you still willing to lend me money?”

Su Xiaolong felt as if he had seen hope.

“Of course, we are, but the interest is a bit high.”

Su Xiaolong immediately expressed himself.

“Don’t worry, as long as I can recover my capital, interest is nothing at all. You can rest assured about that.”

In his heart, as long as he had enough money, he could definitely turn things around.

“Alright.”

“However, your sister needs to take a video, one where she’s not wearing clothes.”

“As collateral. If you’re willing, we can give you three hundred thousand.”

“If you can’t repay it later, we’ll also arrange an opportunity for your sister to work abroad.”

Su Xiaolong fell silent. Wasn’t this selling out his own sister?

However, a few minutes later, he made up his mind.

Anyway, going abroad might even be an opportunity for his sister.

“Okay, I’ll go find her. She’s the best to me; she’ll definitely be willing to take a video for me.”

Su Xiaolong felt that it was just taking a video, not selling herself, so it wasn’t a big deal.

“Mr. Su, you are truly a smart person. Then I’ll await your good news.”

After the call ended, Su Xiaolong couldn’t help but think of the three hundred thousand.

With three hundred thousand in principal, he could definitely turn things around with ease.

And later, he could let his family live a good life.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaolong immediately called a Didi and headed straight for Su Xiaojin’s residence.

…

Li Zhiyan slowly woke up; he could still smell his sister’s fragrance.

He went out and saw Su Xiaojin cooking.

His heart felt very warm. Although they weren’t related by blood.

However, Su Xiaojin was really good to him, just like when they were little.

“Sister.”

“You’re up so early to cook.”

Su Xiaojin turned her head and looked at Li Zhiyan.

“Normally, I don’t cook much, but since you’re finally here, I have to let you taste your sister’s cooking.”

Li Zhiyan came behind Su Xiaojin, hugged her, and then.

Went to the bathroom to wash up.

Not long after, Li Zhiyan heard a knock on the door.

After opening the door, Li Zhiyan saw Su Xiaolong.

Su Xiaolong was also very surprised, not expecting his cousin to be there.

He couldn’t help but think that if he asked Li Zhiyan for money, it would be easy for him to give him a few million.

But his relationship with him wasn’t that good.

“Hello, Cousin, I’m looking for my sister.”

Li Zhiyan didn’t stop him and went to the bathroom.

Seeing that Li Zhiyan didn’t come over, Su Xiaolong also breathed a sigh of relief.

He came outside the kitchen and whispered, “Sister, help me with something.”

Su Xiaojin was a little strange.

“Help with what?”

Su Xiaolong thought for a moment and then said, “It’s just taking a video, one where you’re not wearing clothes. I need it.”

“Someone wants to lend me three hundred thousand. Help me out. The video won’t be leaked.”

Hearing this, Su Xiaojin almost thought she had misheard.

“What?”

“Say that again?”

Su Xiaolong didn’t hesitate; now, his heart only had the three hundred thousand principal to turn things around.

“It’s just taking a video, that kind, it won’t be leaked. I need to borrow some money.”

Su Xiaojin fell silent.

After a while, she let out a sharp sound.

“Get out!”

“Get out of here, you beast!”

This heartbreaking sound was also heard by Li Zhiyan.

His heart jumped. Could this Su Xiaolong want to go to the orthopedic hospital?

Upon reaching the kitchen, Li Zhiyan saw that everything was fine, and he finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

“What’s wrong?”

Li Zhiyan calmly came in front of Su Xiaojin.

To prevent Su Xiaolong from doing anything.

“Cousin, I asked my sister to take a video for me. It’s not doing anything bad. Taking a video can get me three hundred thousand!”

“It’s such a small matter. Is she really my biological sister?!”

Li Zhiyan looked at the very distraught Su Xiaojin.

He also found it incredible…

Su Xiaolong was an ordinary person in his mind, but he didn’t expect Su Xiaolong to be so beastly.

If it were him, let alone selling out Wu Yuexian for three hundred thousand.

Even if it were three hundred billion, he would never even consider it.

“I think you two don’t need to be siblings anymore.”

Su Xiaolong agreed, “That’s right, she’s not worthy of being my sister anymore. I don’t want this sister.”

Li Zhiyan controlled his temper.

“If you don’t want her, I do. She’s my sister from now on.”

Su Xiaolong seemed to have thought of something.

“Cousin, can you give me some money? Give me some money, and I’ll give this sister to you.”

All Su Xiaolong thought about was getting money.

After he got the money and turned things around, he would slowly coax his sister.

With a blood relationship, it was impossible for her to be estranged from her biological brother forever.

“Alright, how much do you want?”

Li Zhiyan couldn’t ask for more; this was a good opportunity to deliver a finishing blow.

It was also a good opportunity for him to take Su Xiaojin away.

“Five hundred thousand! I can definitely turn things around in the casino!”

As soon as his words fell, Li Zhiyan transferred five hundred thousand to Su Xiaolong via WeChat.

As the actual owner of the WeChat account, his transfers were now naturally completely unrestricted.

“Thank you, Cousin! From now on, I have nothing to do with this person!”

Saying that, he excitedly ran out of the house, planning to find a place to turn things around!

“Beast, come back here!”

Su Xiaojin, distraught, wanted to grab Su Xiaolong and get the money back, but Li Zhiyan held her tightly.

“Sister, don’t bother with him.”

“Are you stupid? You just gave him five hundred thousand like that! He’ll use it for gambling, it’s like throwing money into the ocean!”

Su Xiaojin felt very pained about Li Zhiyan’s five hundred thousand.

“As long as he’s willing to give his sister to me, I’d give five hundred million.”

Listening to Li Zhiyan’s gentle words, Su Xiaojin’s emotions finally completely collapsed.

She hugged Li Zhiyan and started to cry bitterly.

…

At noon, Li Zhiyan took Su Xiaojin to eat at an outside restaurant.

Looking at her brother across the table, her mood gradually calmed down.

“Sister, are you coming to Modu with me?”

“Yes, I’m going.”

Su Xiaojin knew that she and Su Xiaolong would have to completely cut ties from now on.

He didn’t treat her as a sister at all, completely selling her out for gambling.

He didn’t care for her even one percent as much as Li Zhiyan did.

“Alright, then we’ll go back after we eat.”

“So rushed.”

“Yes, pack a few clothes, and we’ll go straight back to Modu. There’s no point in staying here. We’ll go directly to Modu, and I’ll arrange a job for you.”

Su Xiaojin lowered her head and said, “Okay.”

Seeing Su Xiaojin agree.

Li Zhiyan finally breathed a complete sigh of relief. He had finally gotten his sister to Modu.

With her and Wu Yuexian together in the future, his life would definitely be much more interesting.

After finishing their meal, Li Zhiyan and Su Xiaojin went to the rental apartment together.

He waited for Su Xiaojin to pack her personal belongings to go to Modu with him.

At noon, Zhao Manman’s call quickly came in again.

“Mom.”

“Son, when are you coming back to Modu? Mom misses you.”

Zhao Manman’s voice was very gentle.

“I’ll be leaving soon. We’ll be reunited as mother and son very soon.”

Zhao Manman still said gently, “Then you must come back quickly and cherish our time together as mother and son.”
