Shen Hongi ignored Lai Feifei.
The drunk kept spouting nonsense, one sentence after another, without a pause.
Xiao Yan wouldn’t do sothing so disgusting.
"Alright then..."
Shen Hongi didn’t think too much about it either.
Li Zhiyan took the Valentino heels. There was still a faint warmth from Shen Hongi on them.
Afterward, the two of them helped the intoxicated Lai Feifei back ho.
At first, he was a bit unfamiliar with the process of helping Aunt Lai back to her room.
But now he was very accustod to it.
At this mont, Lai Feifei was extrely tired. She always went to bed early.
However, her mouth still hadn’t stopped.
"Xiao Yan darling, we’re ho! Co over to Auntie’s side."
"Hongi, leave!"
"Xiao Yan darling, don’t go! Auntie will treat you to so midnight snacks, feed you sothing tasty..."
As she mumbled, Lai Feifei drifted off to sleep.
...
On the way back, Li Zhiyan asked, "Aunt Shen, do you think we have fate?"
"We do..."
Shen Hongi couldn’t deny it; she and Li Zhiyan kept running into each other, which was indeed quite uncanny.
"We have the fate of mother and son."
"As for other things, we’ll see what destiny decides."
"Aunt promised you sothing and won’t break her word. If..."
At this point, the usually rational Shen Hongi paused slightly.
"If there’s ever the possibility of us being together one day, Aunt will consider it."
"But what Aunt wants most is to be your godmother."
Li Zhiyan knew that Shen Hongi remained logical, but he wasn’t in a hurry.
After all, he had information about the future.
In the future, he was bound to have endless ties with Aunt Shen.
...
Back downstairs at ho, Li Zhiyan hugged Shen Hongi briefly before saying goodbye.
He increasingly felt that Aunt Lai’s "charm through intellect" was quite refined.
"I really should sign up for a driving lesson..."
Back ho, Li Zhiyan carried the Valentino heels into the house.
As soon as he walked in, he ran into Zhao Shumin stepping out of the bathroom.
Zhao Shumin looked at the high heels in Li Zhiyan’s hand.
She then suddenly recalled the stockings and pink shirt she had accidentally seen in Li Zhiyan’s room before.
Her expression turned unsettlingly unnatural.
"You’ve misunderstood, Aunt..."
Li Zhiyan instinctively explained. He still cared very much about his reputation.
Even though this person was a shrew, her whole family held grudges against him.
But Li Zhiyan still didn’t want to be misunderstood by Zhao Shumin. He carried internal reservations about certain things.
"I knew you were a pervert, a creep!"
"The stockings and pink shirt in your room were stolen off so woman, weren’t they? You disgusting pervert!"
"I really want to beat you to death with a rolling pin!"
Looking at Zhao Shumin’s aggressive deanor, Li Zhiyan couldn’t help but feel a bit intimidated.
"The high heels were broken; I brought them back to..."
Zhao Shumin shouted instantly, "Spare your filthy explanations!"
"Shaless!"
Li Zhiyan decided not to bother explaining to this shrew. After all, she already thought he was a creep.
So whatever he said was useless.
He pulled out his key, unlocked the door, entered, closed the door—all in one swift motion. As soon as the door shut, silence returned.
"That damn shrew..."
Opening a drawer, Li Zhiyan looked at Aunt Shen’s pink shirt and stockings. After wiping the Valentino heels clean with a tissue,
he placed the heels inside as well.
Then, he continued browsing online to learn French while also checking the prices and enrollnt process for nearby driving schools, planning to sign up for driving lessons tomorrow.
...
Back in her room, Zhao Shumin thought back to what had happened earlier.
"Damn pervert..."
"Could he be stealing Liu Yan’s clothes?"
Sharing an apartnt with soone like this creep, she needed to warn her future daughter-in-law to be careful not to have her clothes stolen by him.
"But this damn pervert really is a weirdo..."
Thinking of certain things, Zhao Shumin couldn’t help but blush a little.
...
In his room, Li Zhiyan claid the attribute "Empty-handed Blade Seizing"!
With this skill attribute, he felt a sudden surge of security. This ti, truly, he feared nothing!
At 11 PM, Li Zhiyan was still imrsed in learning foreign languages.
Out of the blue, he thought of the company’s CEO, the tall blonde.
Just then, the system issued a new task.
[New Task Issued: The conflict between Zhao Shumin and Liu Yan is about to explode.]
[Shang Shunsheng wants to hit Zhao Shumin. Please protect Zhao Shumin from dostic violence.]
[Task Reward: Trait "Youth Eternal."]
[Youth Eternal: Those in close relationships with you will maintain their current state indefinitely!]
Li Zhiyan clenched his fists. Despite being enemies with this shrew, he found violence against one’s own mother deeply intolerable!
Putting down the mouse, Li Zhiyan imdiately heard the sound of arguing from outside.
When he stepped out, he saw Zhao Shumin in a heated quarrel with Liu Yan.
"I cook for you every day, and you constantly criticize ! This isn’t tasty, that isn’t tasty—why don’t you cook yourself!"
Liu Yan clung to Shang Shunsheng’s arm.
"Hubby, look at her!"
"See how she bullies !"
Shang Shunsheng, who always had a simple mind, imdiately took Liu Yan’s side as his girlfriend acted coquettishly.
"Apologize to my wife!"
"I’m your mother!"
Zhao Shumin felt deeply disappointed in her son. He wasn’t just yelling at her this ti, it had happened more than once.
"Apologize right now!"
"Or I’ll beat you, you worthless woman!"
Shang Shunsheng stepped up to Zhao Shumin, raising his arm.
"Apologize!"
He cursed angrily, preparing to assault Zhao Shumin.
Liu Yan chid in from the side, "Apologize, or let Shunsheng slap your face swollen!"
The neighbors outside only stood around watching, nobody stepped in to intervene.
Nowadays, people were reluctant to ddle in others’ business.
Looking at her son, who was raising his hand at her, Zhao Shumin felt utterly heartbroken.
Watching this scene, Li Zhiyan’s anger boiled over uncontrollably.
He recalled his own strict parents, whose sacrifices for him were just like Zhao Shumin’s desperate effort to secure a ho for Shang Shunsheng in Shanghai.
Though she was a shrew, she was unquestionably a good mother!
If he didn’t step in, he couldn’t find peace within himself!
"Put your hand down!"
"You ungrateful bastard!"
Li Zhiyan strode over to Shang Shunsheng, staring him down fiercely!
This mont left Zhao Shumin stunned. She couldn’t believe that Li Zhiyan would actually stand up for her, his enemy!
