I'm Really Divorced from Your Sister

108: Zhao Manman’s decisionChapter 108: Zhao Manman’s Decision

Li Zhiyan was feeling the injury on Xu Yingying’s beautiful black-stockinged leg.

As a medical professional, Li Zhiyan was very serious.

At this moment, Xu Xuanxuan’s father returned.

Seeing his wife and Li Zhiyan so close, Xu Lingyu felt very excited!

It seemed Xu Yingying and Li Zhiyan had a very good relationship.

He respectfully approached Li Zhiyan.

Li Zhiyan was just massaging Xu Yingying’s leg.

”You must be Mr. Li.”

Looking at the very polite Xu Lingyu, Li Zhiyan knew this was Xu Xuanxuan’s father.

”You must be Xuanxuan’s father.”

”That’s right, it’s me, it’s me.”

Xu Lingyu appeared very humble.

Xu Yingying looked at Xu Lingyu opposite her and felt that this was the first time she had ever looked down on him so much.

Normally, when out, Xu Lingyu always had a high and mighty air about him.

But in front of Li Zhiyan, he instantly became like a commoner.

”You two are chatting, I won’t disturb you. Mr. Li, I’ll go back to my room first.”

Li Zhiyan also said gently, ”You go ahead.”

And the medical massage continued.

Xu Lingyu was secretly overjoyed; his daughter and wife both had a very good relationship with this important person.

This meant his position would be very secure in the future.

As long as they helped him with his promotion, there would be no problem.

After a long time, Xu Yingying stood up.

She felt that her leg really didn’t hurt at all anymore.

”Xiao Yan, you are truly amazing, so accomplished in medicine.”

”It really doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Looking at Li Zhiyan, Xu Yingying couldn’t help but think, how wonderful it would be if Li Zhiyan were her son.

But she didn’t have such good fortune; it was impossible to have a son like Li Zhiyan.

”Auntie, it will naturally get better after the massage, but one or two times certainly won’t be enough.”

”I will come often to help you with massages in the future.”

Hearing this, Xu Yingying felt very pleasantly surprised.

”Xiao Yan, you sit here, Auntie will go cook for you.”

Looking at the busy Xu Yingying, Li Zhiyan couldn’t help but think of Zhao Manman.

However, he knew that Zhao Manman would rarely come back in the future.

...

During dinner, Xu Lingyu respectfully said, ”Mr. Li, if there’s anything in the future, you can come directly to my house to find your auntie.”

”I’m basically never home.”

Chatting with Li Zhiyan, Xu Lingyu tentatively asked, ”Mr. Li, my position hasn’t changed for many years. Do you think it’s possible...”

Li Zhiyan glanced at Xu Yingying, then at Xu Xuanxuan.

”Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal.”

After Li Zhiyan spoke, Xu Lingyu was pleasantly surprised...

It seemed his daughter had really found the right person. The problem that had plagued him for so many years was solved with a single word from Li Zhiyan.

How lucky was he to have met Li Zhiyan?

”Mr. Li, I’ll toast you.”

At this moment, looking at Xu Lingyu, Xu Yingying felt her husband was so unfamiliar.

”You really should thank Xiao Yan. For so many years, you haven’t been promoted.”

”Look at Xiao Yan; he can help you so easily.”

Looking at Li Zhiyan’s calm demeanor, Xu Yingying couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration.

This young man was young, handsome, capable, and very filial.

He easily made her leg stop hurting and was willing to come often to accompany her. He truly had advantages in every aspect.

Xu Lingyu said with a forced smile, ”Of course.”

”There’s no comparison between me and Mr. Li.”

”If it weren’t for Mr. Li, how could Xuanxuan have reached her current position so quickly?”

”Mr. Li is our family’s benefactor.”

”After I get promoted, I’ll live at the office.”

”I’ll dedicate my youth to my career.”

Listening to Xu Lingyu’s words, Xu Yingying felt a strange sensation in her heart.

Sacrificing for his career, he was truly a good person.

It was even better for her to stay at home alone.

...

After dinner, Xu Xuanxuan and Xu Yingying, mother and daughter, saw Li Zhiyan to his car.

”Alright, Xuanxuan, Auntie, don’t see me off anymore. I’m going back now.”

Xu Yingying also patted Xu Xuanxuan’s shoulder.

”Daughter, you go back first. We mother and son have something to talk about.”

Hearing this, Xu Xuanxuan said somewhat surprised, ”Mom, you and him are already mother and son?”

”Of course! He’s my son-in-law, so of course he’s like my son. Alright, you go back first.”

Xu Xuanxuan felt a very sweet feeling in her heart.

Then, she returned to the residential area, while upstairs, Xu Lingyu looked at Li Zhiyan, who had a good relationship with both his wife and daughter.

He felt extremely excited, thinking, it seems his path to promotion is secure.

...

”Auntie, you go back first, don’t see me off anymore.”

Xu Yingying looked at Li Zhiyan and truly felt like she had found her long-lost son.

Their conversation was truly very engaging.

”Okay, Xiao Yan, if you have time, come help Auntie with massages more often. You’re really amazing.”

”Auntie is usually home. Oh, right, let’s add each other on WeChat.”

At this moment, Xu Yingying just remembered that she and Li Zhiyan hadn’t added each other on WeChat.

Without WeChat, future conversations would indeed be more troublesome.

”Okay.”

After they exchanged WeChat, Li Zhiyan got into the car and left.

Watching the Rolls-Royce drive further and further away, Xu Yingying slowly came back to her senses.

When she returned home, she saw Xu Lingyu waiting for her.

”Wife, your relationship with Li Zhiyan is very good?”

Xu Yingying didn’t deny it.

”Yes, Xiao Yan is a very good child. I think he’s our son-in-law.”

Xu Lingyu’s heart completely settled down.

”That’s good. In the future, my future will depend entirely on you. Remember, seize every opportunity, spare no effort to win over Mr. Li. If you win him over, our family will prosper!”

”From now on, I won’t sleep at home. I’m going to put all my energy into my career.”

Xu Yingying felt that it was actually better if Xu Lingyu didn’t come back.

”It’s best if you don’t come back. Out of sight, out of mind. What energy do you even have?”

”Just do your job properly.”

...

After returning home, Li Zhiyan secretly went to Xiao Ting Bao’s room and played some online games.

Xiao Ting Bao still felt a bit strange, wondering why Li Zhiyan seemed to be trying harder to level up in games.

Had he been stimulated by something?

After playing games with Xiao Ting Bao, Li Zhiyan lay beside Xiao Ting Bao and slowly fell asleep.

A few days passed in a flash.

And Li Zhiyan often repeated the previous things with Wu Yuexian.

Now, Wu Yuexian had completely adapted to things with some barriers, and she seemed to fully agree with Li Zhiyan’s theory.

It was just exercising, and nothing had actually happened between her and Li Zhiyan.

At the same time, he also frequently went to Chi Wanwan’s place.

For Li Zhiyan, the fastest place was still Chi Wanwan’s home.

A few days later, Li Zhiyan made a trip to Shenzhen.

When Li Zhiyan got off the high-speed train, he saw Su Xiaojin, dressed in a hip-hugging skirt, professional attire, and black stockings, waiting for him.

”Sis!”

Li Zhiyan ran forward and hugged Su Xiaojin tightly.

Although Su Xiaojin had no blood relation to him, Li Zhiyan always thought of Su Xiaojin as his older sister.

The hug was very strong, and Su Xiaojin felt her heart beating fast.

It had been so long; she really missed this kid a bit.

”You really came. I feel like I’m dreaming.”

Su Xiaojin’s voice was full of tenderness.

”What’s there to dream about?”

”If you miss me, I can come see you often.”

Su Xiaojin patted Li Zhiyan’s head, then led him towards the train station’s boarding area.

”Let’s go, big sister will take you out to play.”

Hearing this, Li Zhiyan couldn’t help but recall many things from his childhood.

Holding Su Xiaojin’s hand, the two got into a taxi.

”This little guy’s hand is really warm now.”

Feeling Li Zhiyan’s warmth, Su Xiaojin secretly looked at Li Zhiyan’s profile.

It was hard to connect the current Li Zhiyan with the little brat he used to be.

His changes were truly immense.

Soon, Su Xiaojin took Li Zhiyan to an amusement park.

They both had a great time, just like when they were children.

Much later, Li Zhiyan and Su Xiaojin walked on the streets of Shenzhen.

”Sis, I think you should come to Modu with me. Wu Yuexian is working at my company now.”

”If you come to Modu, I guarantee your work will be much easier than it is now, and your income will be higher.”

Hearing this, Su Xiaojin knew that Li Zhiyan truly wanted her to go to Modu.

If Li Zhiyan didn’t care about her, he wouldn’t have made a special trip all the way to Shenzhen from such a distance.

”Big sister knows you’re very capable now.”

Su Xiaojin knew that everything Li Zhiyan said was true.

With his abilities, taking care of her would be effortless.

”However, big sister is used to the current pace of life, and big sister is an adult.”

”I can’t always rely on my younger brother, can I?”

Li Zhiyan held Su Xiaojin’s hand.

”Sis, actually, I’m very willing to be a ’sister-supporter’.”

”I can support you with both hands.”

Su Xiaojin found it a bit amusing. The term ’fudimo’ (literally ’prostrate demon’, referring to a man who excessively caters to his parents/family) was indeed popular online, but ’fujiemo’ (sister-supporter) was a new one to her.

”Alright, I get it. Let’s go eat first.”

Li Zhiyan felt a bit difficult. After sitting down in the restaurant, he continued, ”It’s okay if you don’t want to work.”

”But you have to come to Modu to play with me for a few days, right?”

”We, Wu Yuexian, and I used to play together every day when we were kids. Opportunities like this are rare now that we’re grown up.”

After thinking for a moment, Su Xiaojin hummed in agreement.

”Then, when I’m on vacation, I’ll come to Modu to play with you all for a few days.”

Su Xiaojin couldn’t help but have a thought at this moment.

How wonderful it would be if she could switch places with Wu Yuexian.

Wu Yuexian stayed with Li Zhiyan every day now, and she was also taken care of by him at work.

She must be very happy now.

Unfortunately, none of this had anything to do with her...

Looking at Su Xiaojin, Li Zhiyan couldn’t help but think of Su Xiaolong, who was addicted to online gambling.

How was that kid doing now?

Gambling was something that others’ advice was useless for; it could only be solved by the person themselves.

If he was addicted, then no one’s advice would work.

He had seen the state of some gambling addicts; they truly wouldn’t stop until death.

...

At this moment, Su Xiaolong had already taken out over two hundred thousand in loans.

These past few days, Su Xiaolong had basically been sleepless.

His wealth had reached over three hundred thousand many times, but under reckless gambling, it all returned to zero.

After returning to zero many times in a row, Su Xiaolong had completely gone insane.

He had tricked his family out of a lot of money and also tricked Su Xiaojin out of tens of thousands by saying he had a girlfriend.

Now, Su Xiaojin’s savings were almost gone.

”Small!”

”Small!”

”Small!”

Looking at the points on his phone screen, Su Xiaolong kept shouting ”Small!”

However, when a large number appeared, he completely lost control of his emotions and collapsed there.

”How is this possible? How is this possible...?”

Su Xiaolong had just been thinking he could make a big profit.

But when the result came out, he realized that all his money was gone—the online loan money plus the money he tricked from his family, all gone.

More than half an hour later, Su Xiaolong clenched his fists.

”Comeback! I want to make a comeback!”

He realized that he only had a chance to turn things around if he gambled again.

Then, Su Xiaolong called Su Xiaojin.

Su Xiaojin, who was eating with Li Zhiyan, answered Su Xiaolong’s call and pressed connect.

”Sis, do you have a hundred thousand yuan? Lend it to me, and I’ll return it tomorrow.”

Su Xiaojin put down her wine glass.

”A hundred thousand? Didn’t I just lend you tens of thousands not long ago? Where would I get that much money?”

”What exactly have you been doing?”

At this moment, Su Xiaojin was also very suspicious.

”It’s nothing, Sis... I’ll ask Mom and Dad.”

After hanging up the phone, Su Xiaojin felt somewhat at a loss, and she had a bad feeling.

”Xiao Yan, what do you think happened to him?”

Li Zhiyan didn’t take it seriously.

”Sis, don’t think so much. Let’s eat. He’s an adult; maybe he just has something going on.”

”Let’s hope so...”

Su Xiaojin tried to calm herself down, but that uneasy feeling still appeared in her heart from time to time.

...

In the evening, walking on the way to Su Xiaojin’s house, Li Zhiyan received a call from Zhao Manman.

”Mom.”

Soon, Zhao Manman’s voice rang out.

”Son, Mom has made a decision. I’ll stay home with you until before Chinese New Year.”

Hearing this, Li Zhiyan’s expression was also a bit complex.

When he returned, Zhao Manman would be home?

”Mom, really?”

”Yes, after Chinese New Year, Mom plans to travel for a long time.”

”Maybe over a year.”

Li Zhiyan, holding Su Xiaojin’s hand, said, ”A year? A year is long enough to have a child.”
