NovelEnglish“I’m being too much? It was me that gave birth and took care of her. I…”
“Yes, you did give birth to her, but I was brought up by sister. That time you and Father were working outside to earn money and had no time to make lunch for us. It was sister who prepared all our lunches.”
“Even if that’s the case, I gave birth to her. I… How can she be so cruel to leave me alone and not care for me?!”
Ji Chengxi knew that his mom’s nature had always been like this. When she was young she was traumatized from being poor. Hence now she’s spending more money to make up for what she lacked during her youth.
He was a man now. In the past, it was always his sister that took care of him, and now that he had grown up, he had to shoulder the responsibility of supporting his family.
“In the future, I’ll take care of you! When you can no longer walk, I’ll help you! When you’re old, I’ll support you! Mom, I’ve grown up. I will work hard to earn money to support you so you should let sister catch her breath and live her life peacefully with brother-in-law, okay? With the way you’re currently acting, in the future, how will brother-in-law view sister?”
“He… if he dares to treat your sister badly, I will not forgive him!” Tears gushed out as she continued talking and the teardrops trickled down her wrinkle-lined face. “You don’t understand. If a woman does not marry a good man during her lifetime, she is finished.”
“Brother-in-law is a good man. If sister marries him, she’ll definitely be happy. Don’t worry. If he dares to treat sister badly, I will never let him off!”
Mother Ji wanted to say further but when she looked at her son who had already grown up, she eventually decided not to say anything. Leaning against his shoulder, she started sobbing.

TL note: the ten million yuan is the TL of the original cn raw.
Lu Lixing wrote it off lightly. “It’s just ten million yuan. If it can give your ears peace in the future, I feel that it’s worth it. Besides, since this matter can be solved by using money, don’t you think it’s very easy and also very time-saving?”
TL note: the ten million yuan is the TL of the original cn raw.
“…” As expected, he’s foolish and rich.
“I feel it’s not worth it.”
“It’s worth it.”
“Not worth it.”
“It’s my money. Since I say it’s worth it, then it’s worth it!”
Ji Qingqing pursed her lips.
“Oh right, I heard that you’re going to participate in some sort of dating program?” Lu Lixing looked at her with a nonchalant gaze. “Is there such a thing?”
Ji Qingqing nodded. “Yes, it’s still under consideration.”
Lu Lixing’s eyes narrowed. “Still under consideration?”
“Have to see the team’s final discussion and the conclusion they reach.” Ji Qingqing paused momentarily. “You don’t want me to go?”
Lu Lixing looked back and used an ‘I totally don’t care about it’ tone to reply to her. “I’ve said this before, I won’t interfere with your work.”
Ji Qingqing nodded, her two eyes eying him, noticing his troubled expression.
Only when Lu Lixing’s brow knitted more and more tightly then did Ji Qingqing smile and say, “But I feel that as a bride-to-be, I should just settle down and wait to get married. This sort of program is not appropriate for me who is a bride-to-be.”
Lu Lixing looked outside the car’s window. There was a light smile on his lips.
Ji Qingqing moved closer and her hands touched Lu Lixing’s arm. Smiling, she said, “Hubby, I’m really grateful for what you did today.”
“Grateful for?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Grateful that you stood by my side. Because you were there, I wasn’t scared at all!”
Lu Lixing raised his eyebrows. “How do you intend to thank me?”
Ji Qingqing pressed her lips together and smiled. Her eyes were filled with joy. “Hubby Hubby Hubby Hubby…”
The driver acted considerately and wound up the car cabin window. After he did that, the sounds from the back of the car stopped abruptly.
System: “1 hubby, 2 hubby, 3 hubby… wait, earlier how many times did Ji Qingqing call out hubby?”
System: “Well…”
System: “…never mind, I’ll just randomly add the points.”
——“Life points +32. Current life points are worth 38 hours.”
“Wrong.” Lu Lixing corrected dryly, “It’s 34 times.”
——“… Sorry, life points +34, current life points worth 40 hours.”
