The subscription rate of the little cutie is not enough to reach 50%. Please resubscribe or wait for 48 hours. Zhang Xinru's tone was not that of a discussion with Li Xia, but of an order, with the usual aura of a rich person.
This condescending attitude made Li Xia very unhappy. She did not reach out to take the check, but protected the child who was hugging her thigh and was a little afraid of this strange woman.
"Mrs. He, I've made it clear enough. An An is not He Yanxi's flesh and blood."
An An is Xu Nianhe’s nickname. The original owner gave him this nickname in the hope that the child would grow up safely.
Zhang Xinru laughed sarcastically when she heard this, put the check on the bedside table, took out another blank check from her bag, and said, "You think it's too little? Then name a price, and our He family will definitely satisfy you."
This is a typical tone of rich people, who think that everything in this world can be solved with money. If money can't solve the problem, then it must be because there is not enough money.
Although poor Li Xia also thinks so most of the time, she knows that there are some things that cannot be bought no matter how much money is spent, such as family affection and love.
Li Xia looked at Zhang Xinru in front of her, and felt that the face of this well-dressed woman in front of her was extremely ugly, which made her think of the words "beast in human clothing".
Li Xia's arm reached down and just held the fat boy's shoulder, and she found that the little shoulder was actually trembling slightly.
She lowered her head, and the little fat boy also looked up at her, with pitiful pleading in his clear eyes. His two little hands hugged her legs tightly, and his fingers did not forget to pinch the trouser legs, as if he was afraid of being separated from her.
Although a three-year-old child does not understand the big principles, he can already understand the literal meaning of some words.
The look and actions clearly showed that he was afraid that she would hand him over to the strange woman in front of her.
What’s rare is that if it were an ordinary child, he would have burst into tears long ago, but this little fat boy didn’t say anything. He was obviously more sensible than ordinary children.
But this is reasonable. After all, he is a big villain in the future, and he must be different from ordinary children.
The system in my mind reminded me: "Mr. Koi, friendly reminder that the progress bars of the main quest and the side quest have been fully opened. You can start your quest."
Hearing this, Li Xia smiled slightly, realizing that this was an opportunity.
She patted the child's shoulders gently twice to comfort him, then picked up the check on the table, looked at the amount on it carefully, and tapped the check twice with her fingers, making a "tsk tsk" sound.
Seeing this, Zhang Xinru showed undisguised contempt for Li Xia on her face.
She thought Xu Zhiyu could not be so noble. When she saw the money, she still had the typical poor face.
But what Zhang Xinru didn't expect was that the next second, Xu Zhiyu tore the check into pieces in front of her.
Li Xia threw the torn pieces of paper at Zhang Xinru's face without mercy, "Mrs. He, you can take your five million and leave."
As the daughter of a wealthy family, Zhang Xinru had always been pampered since she was a child. She had never been treated like this before. She was so angry that she pointed at Li Xia and said, "You—"
Li Xia patted off the scraps of paper in her palm and said lightly, "Since Mrs. He likes to solve problems with money, how about this? I'll give you ten times the price to buy a quiet life. Please don't disturb the lives of us mother and son anymore."
Just as Li Xia said this, a mechanical prompt sounded in her mind.
"Ding—the value of showing off wealth increases by 1%."
This sudden prompt sound made Li Xia a little surprised. He didn't expect that the showing off wealth value could be improved in this way. Just think about the name of this system "Show off Wealth Black Technology", and you will know that the system is not very high-end.
Zhang Xinru opened her eyes wide in disbelief. Xu Zhiyu in front of her seemed like a different person, completely different from the one she remembered.
She said angrily: "Okay, Xu Zhiyu, you wait for me."
After saying that, she quickly turned around and left this humiliating place.
Seeing Zhang Xinru leave, Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, she was just worried that if Zhang Xinru immediately called a few strong men to use force, she would be completely unprepared and unable to fight back.
After Zhang Xinru left, the fat boy still held Li Xia tightly.
He called out softly, "Mom." His voice was no longer as lively as before, and was hoarse with some grievance. The moment Li Xia lowered her head, he burst into tears.
Li Xia quickly squatted down, wiped the little fat boy's tears, and gently coaxed him: "An An, what's wrong? Mommy is here, don't cry, okay."
The little guy's thick eyelashes were now covered with tears. When he heard his mother's words, his little mouth pouted in grievance, trying hard to stop himself from crying. He looked both aggrieved and cute.
"Man, don't cry easily. Mommy will hug you and you will stop crying, okay?" Li Xia comforted her "son" by imitating the scenes in some TV dramas she had watched.
An An's fleshy body is not grown in vain. When he is held in my arms, he feels softer than a stuffed doll and has a milky scent.
After hugging her, Li Xia wiped An An's tears and nose. Thinking back to the scene just now, it might have a bad influence on a child, so she held An An's hand and said, "An An, the bad aunt just now has been chased away by mom. Don't worry, mom will not hand you over to anyone, because mom loves you very much."
The original owner really loved her son very much, otherwise she would not have discovered many years after his death that her son did not have a good ending and let the show-off system arrange for her to change her son's fate.
When An An heard this, she looked at Li Xia, her round eyes showing a seriousness rarely seen in a child of her age, "Really? Mommy didn't lie to An An?"
Li Xia nodded, "I won't lie to An An."
"Then make a pinky promise."
"Okay, pinky promise and stamp."
After getting the stamp, the little guy's mood began to improve, and soon he was smiling.
Only then did Li Xia have time to sort out her current situation.
She went to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror, ready to familiarize herself with her own appearance. Although she had it all in her memory, it was only a memory after all, and not real enough.
Li Xia knew that the original owner couldn't be bad-looking, as she was favored by a wealthy young man like He Yanxi. But she was still surprised when she saw it clearly in the mirror.
At this moment, the original owner had not washed or dressed up, and was in a completely natural state, but even so, it did not affect her beauty at all.
In the real world, the most beautiful girl Li Xia had ever seen was the campus belle of their university. That campus belle was photographed by a street photographer while shopping. She became famous after the photos were posted on the Internet. Her fans increased by hundreds of thousands overnight. Later, she signed a contract with a modeling agency and lived a prosperous life, which made Li Xia envious for a long time.
The original owner was much more beautiful than that school beauty, with a mature and intellectual charm unique to women that was irresistible.
After appreciating the beauty of the original owner, Li Xia combined her memories to figure out why she appeared in the hospital.
The original owner had good education and abilities, but was relatively weak in emotions. After graduation, she went through a difficult time because of her pregnancy, but she got through it with her strong willpower. Now she works in a foreign company with a good salary, and has no problem supporting her child and herself.
However, a month ago, the original owner's company suddenly carried out a departmental reform and added a new department. The original owner was unfortunately transferred to the new department. The position required frequent overtime, but the basic salary was two thousand yuan higher, and the overtime pay was not low either.
