Chapter 576 I Want to Take Another Wife
After having a casual lunch in a fast-food restaurant, Li Yong takes Wei Fangxia with him, rushes to the nearby Tianhai City, and continues to stroll around the antique markets and jewelry shops. Because it is his first time to stroll around Tianhai City, he has harvested a lot this time.
By the time it is dark, he has collected more than 3,000 strands of spiritual power and purchased a total of sixty-nine pieces of ordinary jade with great potential. After the jade are in his hands, he immediately turns these ordinary jade into rare jade with his spiritual power.
Wei Fangxia has been with him for a whole day. Carrying a backpack which is full of jade, she doesn’t have any complaints at all.
Seeing that she is surprisingly well-behaved and obedient today, Li Yong is suspicious.
When they are ready to go home, Li Yong smilingly asks, “Ms. Wei, are you tired?”
“No, I’m not tired.” Ever since the practice of internal strength and mental cultivation method, Wei Fangxia indeed isn’t tired anymore.
Carrying a backpack on her shoulders, she isn’t in pain at all. And stepping on high heels, she doesn’t feel sore on her legs at all. Because as soon as she feels painful and sore, she will utilize her internal strength. Under the effect of the internal strength, all her discomfort and tiredness will all disappear.
Li Yong asks again, “What do you want to eat?”
“Whatever.” Wei Fangxia isn’t picky at all.
“Then let’s eat sesame seed cake!” Li Yong smells a fragrance of flour being grilled by fire and sees a sesame seed cake stall on the roadside. When he was at school, he often ate sesame seed cake which cost one yuan per each. It was affordable and delicious, which helped him fend off his hunger for a long time.
The two of them come to the stall and buy five sesame seed cakes at once.
After applying chili sauce and sweet sauce on the sesame seed cake, they fold them from the middle and start to enjoy them.
The sesame seed cakes, which had been freshly baked, are fragrant and crispy. Those parts which become yellow after the baking can’t be crunchier.
In this way, the two of them who have been working hard all day, only spend five yuan on their dinner.
To save time, Li Yong eats the sesame seed cake while driving.
Fearing that Li Yong will put them in danger while driving with a sesame seed cake in his hand, Wei Fangxia takes the sesame seed cake from Li Yong’s hand. After Li Yong swallows the slice of sesame seed cake in his mouth, she hands it over to Li Yong’s mouth so that he can take another bite.
By the time the two of them return to the Han Family’s villa in Zhonghai City, it has been 11 p.m.
Sun Xiaomei has not yet left. At this time, she is painstakingly waiting for Li Yong in the living room with Han Lu and Han Fei.
At any cost, she has to wait for Li Yong to come back home today.
Because after she comes back, Li Yong is nowhere to be seen. It is said that he went out early in the morning. Moreover, he doesn’t at home all day long.
In her opinion, Li Yong isn’t even willing to have a meal with her. Neither does he ever call her mother, indicating that he doesn’t take her seriously at all! Moreover, he doesn’t even meet her as if he were deliberately avoiding her.
So she gets angry and decides to teach Li Yong, a disrespectful brat, a lesson.
When Li Yong smilingly walks into the living room, Sun Xiaomei suddenly jumps up from the sofa and points at Li Yong, shouting angrily, “Yong, I married my daughter to you. But you are absent all day long. You brat. You…”
All of a sudden, upon seeing that Wei Fangxia then follows in, Sun Xiaomei shuts up at once.
As the saying goes, don’t wash your dirty linen in public. In her eyes, Wei Fangxia is an outsider. Moreover, she is the honorable deputy director.
In front of an intellectual who knows the law, however angry Sun Xiaomei is in her heart, she dares not to lecture Li Yong in front of Wei Fangxia. After all, Li Yong is her family member. If she lectures her family member in front of an outsider, it will be a joke once it is leaked outside.
However angry she is about Li Yong, she has to take Li Yong’s feelings into account.
If she lets Li Yong feel that his family members aren’t as good as the outsiders, it will be the beginning of a disaster!
After living most of her life, Sun Xiaomei deeply knows that to keep someone by your side, you have to be good to him.
So, she puts away her anger and tries hard to force a smile. Walking forward, she says, “Fangxia! So you and Yong are together, right? You are back home so late. Where have you all been?”
Wei Fangxia puts her heavy backpack on the sofa and says with a happy smile, “I went to Tianhai City with Yong to buy jade. We bought seventy-nine pieces of rare jade at once and spent 300,000 yuan. In the end, we can earn 300 million yuan.”
On the way back home, Wei Fangxia and Li Yong talked about the approximate price of these jade. So Wei Fangxia says it all at once. At the same time, she opens her backpack and takes out several pieces of dazzling beautiful jade which immediately illuminate Sun Xiaomei’s eyes.
Sun Xiaomei heard early from Han Lu that Li Yong had made a lot of money by trading jade.
Now, seeing these crystal-clear and valuable jade with her own eyes, Sun Xiaomei is deeply shocked.
“Yong, so you went to make money for our family. Just now, my attitude towards you was a little bad. Don’t be angry!” Sun Xiaomei picks up a piece of jade and takes a look at it. Changing her attitude dramatically, she is happy from the bottom of her heart.
Li Yong surely won’t be angry with his mother-in-law. He knows that the reason why his mother-in-law is angry is for the sake of Han Lu. As long as it is for the good of Han Lu, he will only be grateful to her from deep inside his heart rather than raise any complaint.
So, he keeps smiling, “Mom, if you like, choose a few pieces and keep them.”
“You’d better sell them for money! I can’t do anything with this object. It can only be useful to me after it is exchanged into money.” Sun Xiaomei laughs heartily. Unexpectedly, Li Yong went out for one day and earned back three hundred million yuan, which makes her think that Li Yong gets all merits all over his body. She feels that Li Yong is a treasure and that her daughter is indeed lucky to find such a man.
Setting aside the fact that Li Yong doesn’t come back home for one day, even if he is absent from home for three days or even three months, as long as he can earn back three hundred million yuan, Sun Xiaomei will never be angry about him.
When she was young, Han Dongtao once left home for three months for a woman. She was so angry that she made up her mind to divorce him. Moreover, she prepared all the documents for divorcing him.
As a result, when Han Dongtao came back, he brought back three million yuan. Within three months, he earned back three million yuan.
When Han Dongtao handed over the money to her, she not only gave up on divorcing him but also was moved to tears.
As she looks at those rare jade, money is all over her mind.
Setting aside the fact that Li Yong doesn’t come back home for one day, even if he is out for a month, sleeps with several women, and gives birth to children, as long as he brings back so much money and cares for his family, he will be forgivable.
Three hundred million yuan?
Han Lu, who is originally expressionless, immediately comes over in a hurry with a joyful look on her face, looking at those rare jade as if she were a miser. Just now, under Sun Xiaomei’s persuasion, feeling that Li Yong had a lot of demerits, she was secretly angry about him as well.
However, seeing that Li Yong earns back so much money for her, she isn’t angry anymore.
She picks up the rare jade one piece after another and looks at them with joy while exchanging pleasant words with Sun Xiaomei. With a smile on her face, she loves these rare jade so much. Knowing the price of these rare jade, she silently calculates that the earning surely is more than 300 million yuan. At the thought of this, she can’t help but be even happier.
Han Lu says with a smile on her face, “Mom, look at this one. Last time, there was a piece of jade which was almost the same as this one. It was auctioned for more than eight million yuan back then. Now this one is worth at least eight million yuan.”
“My goodness, Yong is so capable. He is indeed my good son-in-law.” Sun Xiaomei is someone who has seen the world. She naturally knows the value of these rare jade. Previously, she was fascinated with jade collections for some time. Even if she takes out the best piece of her collection, it won’t be as valuable as those of Li Yong.
Looking at Sun Xiaomei and Han Lu, Li Yong suddenly finds that Han Lu inherits her obsession with wealth from Sun Xiaomei.
It’s true that like a mother, like a daughter!
However, Han Fei stares at Li Yong, walks quickly to his side, and pulls his finger, laughing softly, “Brother-in-law, you are tired, right?”
Feeling warm-hearted, Li Yong heartily smiles, “Not at all.”
The reason why he ran out today isn’t for these rare jade. He is after the spiritual power. In his eyes, although these rare jade are worth a lot, they are far less important than spiritual power
Only spiritual power can help elevate his strength. As long as he becomes strong, it will be easier and easier to make money.
Seeing that there have been more than 6,000 strands of spiritual power stored inside the spiritual power vortex, he thinks that they can last for some time before he consumes them all.
With spiritual power, he is capable of facing danger.
Seeing that Sun Xiaomei and Han Lu both keep staring at those rare jade, Li Yong takes the lead to go upstairs, washes his body, and lies down on the bed. Then he starts to practice.
With Sun Xiaomei at home, Li Yong behaves well without going over to talk with Hongyu or Huang Anhe. As soon as he comes back home, he goes to sleep, acting like a good boy.
Han Fei follows him to the bedroom and sits on the edge of the bed to kiss him, only to be stopped by him.
He advises, “Fei, after we go to Nihon, we can be together every day. For the time being, bear with it.”
Han Fei says with a bright smile, “Okay. I’ve already talked to my sister. I’ll go to Nihon next week.”
“Good. Go back to your room now! Go to bed early. After all, you are pregnant.”
Han Fei nods, gets up to leave, and goes back to her room.
As Li Yong starts to practice, Han Lu and Sun Xiaomei come up together. And they also carry all the rare jade upstairs. Of course, they have to hide such valuable things well.
So, they put the rare jade into the safe box one piece after another. Seeing that the safe box can’t accommodate all the rare jade, they hide them under the bed. Anyway, they hide the rare jade wherever it is secluded and wherever others can’t find the rare jade with ease.
After they are done with hiding the rare jade with great effort, Sun Xiaomei wipes the sweat off her face and excitedly wakes Li Yong up. Pulling Li Yong’s hand, she says with joy, “Good son-in-law. Since you have this ability, you should go out every day to buy jade and then sell it. If you earn 300 million yuan every day, our Han family will be rich.”
“Good son-in-law, I did some calculations just now. If it continues like this, in less than a year, our company will become one of the top 100 companies in Huaxia. And in less than three years, we can be ranked at the top ten of the richest people in Huaxia. If you keep doing so for ten years, we will become the richest in the world. Good son-in-law, our family’s glorious future depends on you. You have to cheer up.”
Sun Xiaomei speaks with sincerity. It seems that she pins all her hopes on Li Yong’s shoulders.
Li Yong smiles faintly, “Mom, making money is a trivial matter. But I have a request. Can you promise me?”
“What is it? Feel free to let me know. I promise you all.” Sun Xiaomei is glowing and smiling.
Li Yong originally wanted to say that he wanted to marry Han Fei. However, he hesitates and feels that he is too straightforward by saying so. And if Sun Xiaomei can’t accept it, he will be in trouble. So, he says obscurely, “I want to take another wife.”
“What?” Sun Xiaomei is stunned. And it takes her a long time to come to her senses. She, who was originally smiling happily, gradually looks gloomy and indifferent. And even the air starts to get cold.
She grabs Li Yong’s hand with one of her hands so hard all of a sudden that the bone joints on her hands turn white.
