121: Relatives postponed and panicked

Chapter 121: Aunts husband delayed, panicking

Wu Yuexian felt very worried.

If she accidentally got pregnant, it would be really troublesome.

After all, she and Li Zhiyan…

Moreover, she still had to work now, so she absolutely couldn't get pregnant.

The most important thing was that if she got pregnant with Li Zhiyan's child,

there would definitely be endless trouble in the future.

"Xiao Yan, will starting a company make you lose money? If it makes you lose money, I don't think it's necessary."

Her Eldest Uncle asked, holding his wine glass.

He still didn't want Li Zhiyan to spend money unnecessarily.

"It's fine, I'll definitely make money when I start a company."

Her Youngest Uncle chimed in, "Brother, don't you see you're being narrow-minded?"

"Don't you know what kind of background Xiao Yan has now? Did brother-in-law really get promoted because he had enough experience?"

"Brother-in-law, come, I'll toast you."

Li Yunping also raised his wine glass. This brother-in-law had made a small fortune doing business in his early years.

He always thought he was amazing, but now Li Yunping somewhat missed his unbridled demeanor.

"That's right, I overthought it. Some businesses can only be done by Xiao Yan."

"I think our family is completely prosperous now."

Everyone was very happy, and Zhou Mengmeng's beautiful eyes were filled with admiration.

Li Zhiyan in her heart was just so extraordinary.

There were simply too many things he could change.

Liu Xiaoyun also secretly observed Li Zhiyan, feeling very shy.

Her relationship with him had already been established.

Once she returned to Magic City, perhaps some things would officially begin.

Thinking of a certain possibility...

Liu Xiaoyun felt extremely expectant.

...

At the dinner table, the relatives were all toasting each other.

Her Little Aunts husband, who usually didn't drink much, was also drinking heavily today.

Li Zhiyan could also understand his Little Aunts husband's situation.

After all, he was middle-aged and unemployed, and he still had his Little Aunt and his cousins to support...

The pressure must have been immense.

Li Zhiyan didn't mind if his casual actions could, to a certain extent, make his relatives and family live better.

After all, he would also make money by starting a company at home.

And his maternal grandfather was also radiant. He, who usually didn't dare to drink much, also had a glass of white wine.

After dinner, everyone gathered again to chat, until around four o'clock in the afternoon.

Only then did Li Zhiyan and the girls return home.

After arriving home...

Li Yunping sat in the living room reading the newspaper, thoroughly engrossed. He felt that this was truly the most triumphant time he had ever visited relatives in his life.

All the conversations revolved around his son.

And the card his son had given him was enough for him to splurge for a lifetime.

Of course, Li Yunping didn't care much about money.

He was thinking about whether he could continue to advance upwards.

All of this depended on his son.

Upstairs, Li Zhiyan sent a WeChat message to Su Xiaojin.

"Sister, are you going to Grandpa's house tomorrow?"

"Yes."

At this moment, after Su Xiaojin saw Li Zhiyan's message,

her heart was filled with immense longing.

Although she and Li Zhiyan hadn't been separated for too long, it felt like three autumns had passed.

"Okay."

Li Zhiyan ended his chat with Su Xiaojin.

After dinner, Li Zhiyan went to the hotel again.

Watching Li Zhiyan's car disappear into the distance, Wu Yuexian, who was walking by the lake with Liu Xiaoyun, felt a deep sense of helplessness.

This kid was too crazy, he actually...

However, some things couldn't really be controlled, so she just let him be.

...

Upon arriving at the hotel, Li Zhiyan knocked on the door, and soon,

Chi Wanwan, dressed in pajamas, opened the door.

Seeing Chi Wanwan's stunning appearance, Li Zhiyan couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

He immediately embraced Chi Wanwan.

"You must have had a very happy time at your relatives' house today."

Li Zhiyan picked up Chi Wanwan, then placed her on the bed, and they faced each other.

"It was happy, I guess. As I grew up, I met these relatives less and less."

Li Zhiyan also felt a bit emotional.

Chi Wanwan gently stroked Li Zhiyan's hair.

"Alright, don't think so much. Just relax."

Chi Wanwan leaned in and kissed Li Zhiyan, very gently.

This gave Li Zhiyan a unique experience.

They had to hurry with having a child.

Otherwise, it would be too late.

...

The next day, at the same time, Chi Wanwan called Li Zhiyan to wake him up.

Her voice was very gentle, and she was getting more and more used to waking up with Li Zhiyan.

It seemed as if everything was as it should be.

"Get up, the New Year is almost over."

After Li Zhiyan got up, he and Chi Wanwan washed up together.

Only after Chi Wanwan helped him tidy his clothes,

did he return home. Seeing Li Zhiyan come home, Wu Yuexian felt a pang of sadness.

Li Zhiyan was probably most infatuated with her.

No other woman could replace her position in Li Zhiyan's heart.

Just like yesterday, after breakfast,

the family set off for their old home in the countryside.

When Li Zhiyan's car arrived in the countryside, the villagers all came to watch.

Everyone now knew that Li Zhiyan's background was truly extraordinary.

So they all showed immense enthusiasm for Li Zhiyan's arrival.

Perhaps they could benefit from him in the future.

"Welcome back, Xiao Yan."

"Grandson's wife, you've come too."

Because Li Yunping had returned home earlier,

their relationship was now known to everyone.

His grandmother walked forward and handed Ji Zhiting a red envelope.

The thick red envelope was no worse than yesterday's at all.

"No, Grandma, this is too much..."

Ji Zhiting knew that her grandparents were genuine farmers, and accepting this red envelope would surely be a great burden for them.

"Take it. It's your grandparents' intention. It's your first time here, so of course, it should be grander."

Only after Li Zhiyan spoke did Ji Zhiting accept it.

She knew that Li Zhiyan was a filial person.

It could be seen from his attitude towards his mother; he definitely wouldn't make the elders' lives difficult.

The surrounding villagers also gathered around, looking at Li Zhiyan's car with immense envy.

They still remembered clearly...

the scene of the big shots gathering that day.

All sorts of big shots only seen on TV

had appeared at the old man's birthday celebration.

After entering the house, the villagers were still gathered outside the door.

At this moment, a fellow villager smiled and said, "Xiao Yan, you've made it big now. Can you find jobs for the people of Li Family Village?"

Li Zhiyan didn't hesitate.

"After the New Year, I will have people set up companies in our hometown, and I estimate a few factories will also be opened."

"The most difficult thing for everyone at home is not being able to find a job. When the factories open, people from our village can be given priority for employment."

"Men, women, old, and young, as long as they are able to work, they can come to work."

"The work won't be strenuous, and the wages will definitely satisfy everyone."

Hearing this, the elders in the village were all very excited.

They usually had to take care of their children and send them to school in the village, so they couldn't go out to earn money at all.

And some couldn't go out to work because they didn't have much labor capacity.

Now, everything was completely different.

Li Zhiyan could let them earn money at home, which made him their benefactor.

At this moment, Su Xiaojin also came downstairs.

Looking at Li Zhiyan chatting with everyone, Su Xiaojin felt very happy.

Although her biological younger brother was a beast who gambled and wanted to sell her,

she still had a non-biological younger brother.

Li Zhiyan, his kindness to her could truly warm her entire life.

Living in a river-view villa in Magic City and becoming a senior executive of a large company, these were things she couldn't even imagine before.

She truly never dared to imagine that Li Zhiyan could achieve what he had today.

He could benefit the neighborhood just by doing a little something.

Allowing everyone in the village to find work.

"Xiao Yan, you're not joking, are you? Auntie hasn't been able to find a job, so her pocket money depends on you."

Li Zhiyan smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I'm not joking. This matter will absolutely not be a joke."

"The factory matters will be implemented before the Lantern Festival."

"It's just that when there are no young people at home, please take more care of Grandpa and Grandma."

Li Zhiyan knew that his grandparents were unwilling to leave the place where they had lived their entire lives.

Just like his parents were unwilling to leave home.

Everyone had their irreplaceable emotional attachments.

Li Zhiyan understood this very well.

"Don't worry, we're all fellow villagers. Auntie will visit my uncle every day from now on."

"That's right, Xiao Yan, don't worry. The elders will be taken care of by us from now on."

Looking at the enthusiastic villagers, Li Yuzhen also felt very proud.

Elders love face, especially in rural areas where showing off and comparison have become the norm.

So at this moment, the old couple both felt a very happy feeling in their hearts.

Looking at his grandparents' appearance...

Li Zhiyan knew that they were indeed happy.

Around past eleven o'clock, everyone dispersed.

And the relatives all praised Li Zhiyan profusely.

His aunts and paternal aunts also gave Ji Zhiting red envelopes.

This made Ji Zhiting deeply feel what it was like to be showered with affection.

Being Li Zhiyan's girlfriend truly meant being very pampered...

Zhou Mengmeng, though filled with envy, knew her place.

She just quietly watched Ji Zhiting.

Before long, Su Xiaojin came to Li Zhiyan's side.

"Brother, when are we returning to Magic City?"

Regarding returning to Magic City, Su Xiaojin was already feeling a bit expectant.

She was truly tired of staying at home.

"In a few days, when it's time to go back."

"You can come directly to my house, and I'll take you back to Magic City."

Su Xiaojin nodded.

"By the way, Su Xiaolong didn't come today?"

Li Zhiyan felt immense contempt for his gambling cousin.

He was irreconcilable with gambling and drugs...

He looked down on gambling addicts like Su Xiaolong the most.

Once hooked on online gambling, a person's life was ruined, and no amount of money could fill that bottomless pit.

"He didn't come out."

"My parents went to pick him up. Isn't he working at an electronics factory in Wan City now?"

"They didn't let him come back for the New Year. They're bringing him over for an afternoon today, and then they'll immediately send him back to the electronics factory."

When speaking of Su Xiaolong, Su Xiaojin's heart was still filled with hatred.

The incident back then truly left an unforgettable mark on her.

For online gambling, he even wanted to sell her.

If it weren't for Li Zhiyan, Su Xiaojin truly couldn't imagine what direction things would have taken later.

Once a person became a gambling addict, they were truly worse than beasts.

At this moment, an Audi A6 stopped at the entrance.

Li Zhiyan also looked towards the entrance, and his Aunts husband dragged Su Xiaolong out.

At this moment, Su Xiaolong looked several sizes fatter, clearly having been overeating.

"Beast! This beast gambled away all his factory wages using his roommate's phone!"

"From now on, his wages will be directly deposited into my card. I absolutely cannot let this beast touch them again!"

Hearing this, Su Xiaolong said hysterically, "If you had supported me, I would have already won back my money! What do you know!"

His Aunts husband immediately slapped Su Xiaolong across the face.

"You beast shouldn't have been allowed to come back for dinner today!"

At this moment, the kitchen had already started serving dishes.

His grandmother walked forward and held back his Aunts husband.

"Alright, it's the New Year. Don't stoop to a child's level."

His Aunts husband was still furious. He couldn't understand why his son, who had such a bright future, had become like this.

"Su Xiaojin, are you still my sister!"

"You're so close to Li Zhiyan, and you wouldn't even lend me money! I don't have a sister like you!"

His Aunts husband could no longer control his emotions. He kicked Su Xiaolong to the ground and started beating him.

It wasn't until his Aunt went to pull him away that the farce stopped.

"Get a bowl and eat in the back, you're not allowed at the table, you beast!"

Su Xiaolong, having been beaten, didn't dare to argue with his Aunts husband. He obediently took a bowl and went to eat in the back.

As he passed by, his gaze towards Su Xiaojin was filled with hatred.

This made Su Xiaojin feel even more disheartened.

Li Zhiyan softly said, "Clearly, his mind is no longer normal. The gambling addiction has completely taken over his brain. All he thinks about, every moment, is just to gamble."

"Don't worry about him. Just pretend he never existed."

Su Xiaojin looked into Li Zhiyan's eyes, and her mood finally calmed down.

Thankfully, she had Li Zhiyan.

...

Time passed quickly.

In the following days, Li Zhiyan and Chi Wanwan worked hard every night to have a child.

After all, having a child was a long process.

It wasn't that easy to get pregnant.

And the time to return to Magic City had also arrived.

"The New Year is completely over now."

In the bedroom, Wu Yuexian, who had just woken up, stretched lazily. Seeing Liu Xiaoyun still sound asleep, she didn't wake her up.

"It seems... the day has passed."

"My period hasn't come yet."

Wu Yuexian's heart inexplicably began to panic.

It seemed she really was pregnant. It couldn't be that precise, could it!
