Chapter25

"Son-in-law, what are you doing? Why aren't you saying anything?" Shen Ruyu saw Xu Bin in a daze and furrowed her eyebrows, asking. Xu Bin snapped back to reality and couldn't quite remember what that extra task was about, but he quickly made a decision and said, "Mom, I'll handle the resignation myself. After working for almost ten days, I should at least get my salary." "Husband, are you still going to continue working?" Yao Nan looked reluctant. "Didn't you say you had a pile of computers worth at least several hundred thousand?" "Even the smallest ant is still meat!" Xu Bin said seriously. "Four thousand is also money. Mom, Nan Nan, every drop is hard-earned money. How we spend it is our own business, but we have to earn it back for sure." "Son-in-law is right!" Shen Ruyu smiled and praised. "I'm so happy that you're sensible. Nan Nan didn't choose the wrong person." Before, they said she had poor judgment and a bad brain. They also said Xu Bin was a poor and burdensome man who would ruin their daughter... Thinking back to the sarcastic remarks from her mother-in-law before, Xu Bin felt his anger rising. Her nature was to despise the poor and love the rich, and some things couldn't be covered up by a harmonious atmosphere. After dinner, Shen Ruyu offered to do the dishes, and Xu Bin held his wife's hand to take a walk together. When they came back at night, she went to play cards again. The two of them smiled at each other and went upstairs to take a bath together. "Husband, Mom asked us when we're going to have a child." "She said if there's any problem, we should get it checked early. It seems like there's a big conflict going on with the eldest sister." Husband and wife always had a bit of gossip during their night talk, but it was accompanied by intimacy. After a passionate encounter, Yao Nan finally lost consciousness, her face full of a satisfied smile. Xu Bin hadn't finished yet, but with just one attribute point, his physical strength had become terrifying. In fact, he could finish, but it seemed like he could control himself. Life began to return to its normal and mundane state. At least now, this son-in-law who had come to their doorstep was no longer looked down upon. When it came down to it, everything was about the power of money. The confusing thing was that during this time, Yao Xin, the eldest sister, kept calling their mother, Shen Ruyu. It wasn't clear what they were discussing, but it seemed like they were arguing and it ended on a bad note. Yao Nan tried to ask, but she was scolded, so Xu Bin didn't want to get involved either. The weekend arrived, and the first phase of summer military training ended. Before Yao Nan went to work, she instructed, "Husband, go pick up Le'er after school." Although the whole family was demanding when it came to her, mentally controlling her, they also knew what people were like in society. As soon as Yao Le'er entered the school, she became the school flower. She couldn't escape the attention and pursuit of many boys, even Zhang Xinda was interested. It was evident how charming she was. When they arrived at the school gate, the energetic little sister ran over to Xu Bin, her eyes lighting up. "Le'er, you can finally rest at home." "Brother-in-law, I knew it was you. My mom definitely wouldn't come," Yao Le'er giggled and handed her small school bag to Xu Bin, jokingly saying, "Brother-in-law, did you fix my phone?" "It's fixed!" The school gate was crowded and chaotic, with many car owners lacking any sense of civility. Even if they were on a motorcycle, they couldn't get through the road. "What's wrong with you, Yao Le'er? You haven't been replying to my messages!" Suddenly, a pretty girl asked, glaring at Xu Bin who was carrying a school bag. Xu Bin was a bit confused, and Yao Le'er's face turned red as she scolded, "I went to fix my phone. What's it to you?" "Who is this guy?" The pretty girl cursed again. "None of your business!" Yao Le'er cursed back at her, grabbing Xu Bin's hand and quickly running away, calling a taxi at the intersection to go home first. "Brother-in-law, where's my phone?" As soon as they got home, Yao Le'er anxiously asked. "It's fixed. Like you said your room. I even locked it, and the key is in its original place," Xu Bin replied. Yao Le'er hurriedly went back to her room with her school bag, locked the door out of habit. But as soon as she sat down on the bed, the door was kicked open. "Brother-in-law, did you peek at my messages?" "No, why would I peek when I was fixing your phone?" "The memory on this phone is slow, and there are browsing records when I turned it on." Yao Le'er's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke. She bit her lip, not knowing what to say, and ran back to her room, locking the door again. But as soon as she sat on the bed, feeling upset, the lock clicked open. Xu Bin closed the door and said, "I put the key back where it was. I just wanted to borrow it for a bit. Isn't that too much to ask?" "Of course it's too much. You're a pervert. What were you doing looking at my phone after fixing it?" Yao Le'er was furious, pushing Xu Bin who suddenly entered the room. Xu Bin didn't pay it any mind and closed the door forcefully. With a crisp sound, it became their own little world, and Yao Le'er suddenly felt a bit nervous. She gritted her teeth and said, "Brother-in-law, don't mess around. I thought you were kind and that's why I asked for your help. Don't think you can threaten me like this." Xu Bin chuckled sitting at the doorway and thought for a moment. He lit a cigarette and started smoking. The smell of smoke was the most annoying smell in the house, and only Yao Nan allowed Xu Bin to smoke in the room. They couldn't even talk about it in the living room. Xu Bin blew a smoke ring and smiled, "Le'er, you're really angry. You're so beautiful when you're angry." "Who asked you to praise me? You pervert, stinky pervert, peeping tom." Yao Le'er snatched the room key from the table and thought angrily. Xu Bin ignored her thoughts and lay down in the opposite room, his mind filled with thoughts of this youthful and busty little sister-in-law. His mind was chaotic and he didn't know how to trigger this extra task. "Ding... Task line not yet activated." "Ding... Extra task generating." Xu Bin was annoyed to death, and suddenly the door was pushed open. Yao Le'er peeked her head in, cautiously asking, "Brother-in-law, can I come in?" "It doesn't matter!" Xu Bin was particularly annoyed, mainly because he had already realized one fact. He couldn't decide whether or not the task would be activated. His mother-in-law activated it just by taking a pair of underwear, but even though his little sister-in-law was quite wicked, the task still wasn't activated. Damn it! Yao Le'er closed the door and stood nervously to the side, unsure of what to do. Because of that extra task, she didn't know if she had to sell her soul, or rather, her body. No, it should be called a transaction, right?! Thinking about it, Yao Le'er clenched her silver teeth in anger, but when she thought about those messages, she lost her confidence. Her naive heart was in turmoil. Compared to her chaotic thoughts, Xu Bin didn't have so many convoluted ideas. Since there was no response to the messages, he simply tossed the phone aside. The little sister was at the most vain age, and with the current atmosphere in school, where comparison was rampant, Xu Bin didn't believe she could stay calm with that receipt. During dinner, Yao Le'er acted as if nothing had happened, as if nothing had occurred. While they were eating, Xu Bin deliberately said, "Mom, my business partner said he will give me a phone in a few days. I think it's perfect for Little Sister since her phone is too old." "What kind of phone? Is it expensive?" Shen Ruyu asked instinctively. "It's not expensive, it's more suitable for kids. It's not suitable for mature and stable people like you, Mom." "Oh, alright then." Shen Ruyu looked at Yao Le'er, who had been bowing her head and eating, and furrowed her brows. "You ungrateful child, your brother-in-law wants to give you a gift, and you don't even say thank you." "That's right, why are you so impolite?" Yao Nan scolded as well. Yao Le'er thought of the receipt and her heart started pounding. She raised her head and looked at Xu Bin, only to be met with a meaningful smile. Her heart raced even faster. At this moment, Xu Bin seemed like a demon tempting her, waiting for her to decide whether or not to sell her soul, no, her body.
