Chapter 119

119 A Nest of Snakes and Rats

“Don’t look at him. He’s just a good-for-nothing. What’s there to be surprised about?! Think about it. He’s someone who can make the people in the casino come all the way to his family to ask for money!” Luo Cheng’s deep voice sounded. “You’re married to me now and your parents are on my side. Why are you still thinking about that side?!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she felt Luo Cheng’s concern and nodded with a smile.

“Fine! We’re here to watch a good show today!”

Seeing that Li Xiaoran listened, Luo Cheng nodded and led her straight to the private room on the second floor.

After he ordered a few dishes, Luo Cheng’s gaze landed on the lobby below.

This time, the private room Luo Cheng requested was not the one facing the street, but one that when he pushed open the window, he could see the situation in the lobby.

While they were waiting, the people at He Lun’s table below was also eating happily.

“Li Zhan, I haven’t seen you coming out to eat and drink with us recently! Why? Have you changed your ways? Are you going to study hard at home?” Another shifty-eyed student started teasing after three rounds of drinking.

“Xu Dehui, a straightforward person doesn’t beat around the bush. You know what kind of situation I’m in! If it weren’t for you guys, I wouldn’t have any money to drink with everyone today!” Li Zhan didn’t mind and directly told them about his lack of money.

“Hey, Li Zhan, you’re being too polite! Have you thought about what I told you last time?” Xu Dehui gave Li Zhan a look and asked.

“You must be joking! This won’t do!” Li Zhan shook his head and refused.

When Xu Dehui heard this, his expression turned ugly.

“Li Zhan, don’t be so shameless! You’d better think about your future. If you really ride on that person’s coattails, your future will be very bright! If you offend that person, you’ll probably suffer in the future!”

When He Lun heard this, he reached out and patted Li Zhan’s shoulder.

“You’re wrong! Speaking of which, I’m really envious of you! If I had a beautiful sister like you, I would have agreed long ago. I definitely wouldn’t be so wishy-washy. Sigh, it’s fate. My sister is ugly, so no rich guy likes her!”

When Li Zhan heard this, he was immediately angry and sneered.

“I was wondering why you suddenly wanted to invite me over for a drink today. It turns out that you had this idea! Although I, Li Zhan, am a bastard, I’m not crazy enough to sell out my sister. He Lun, I think your previous wife is quite pretty too. Why didn’t you send her to a noble?!”

With that, Li Zhan threw down his chopsticks and stood up with a cold expression.

“Since everyone has ill intentions, let’s not eat this meal!”

With that, Li Zhan left.

This scene stunned Li Xiaoran, and her face was filled with disbelief.

“Since when did my eldest cousin started to act like an elder brother? Could it be that the casino incident previously made him completely change his personality?”

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he ate a piece of meat and said indifferently, “A leopard doesn’t change its spots! It’s only because the benefits aren’t enough!”

Li Xiaoran nodded with a look of deep agreement.

In any case, she did not believe that Li Zhan would turn over a new leaf.

Perhaps it was really as Luo Cheng had said. It was just because there were not enough benefits.

In fact, Luo Cheng was right.

After leaving the restaurant, Li Zhan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was chasing after him.

Li Zhan spat in the direction of the restaurant before turning to leave.

Li Zhan had calculated very clearly, so he had a plan.

That noble was actually just a hedonistic son who relied on his family to survive.

Such a person did not have any power at all. Sending his sister over would not benefit him at all.

Besides, after his sister returned to the village, she would go up the mountain from time to time to look for something. She probably had not given up on the reishi mushroom.

If he sent her away, where would he find the reishi mushroom?

Last time, he had drugged his third uncle, but he was still saved by Luo Cheng.

When he learned of this news, he quickly packed his things and returned to town since he was afraid that his third uncle would bring his evil son-in-law to cause trouble for him.

Fortunately, nothing happened after so long. Presumably, his third uncle did not realize that he had done all this at that time!

During this period of time, his father and second uncle had been forced to go back to serve his grandparents. With more people at home, their lives became more and more difficult.

Li Zhan felt that this couldn’t go on!

If this continued, he would definitely be burdened by his family.

Therefore, his top priority now was to go up the mountain and find the reishi mushroom.

As long as he found this thing, he could sell it for a large sum of money and live a carefree life elsewhere.

The more Li Zhan thought about it, the more he felt that this was for the best, so he quickly sneaked back to the village.

On the restaurant’s side, after Li Zhan left, He Lun and the others immediately became sullen.

“Sigh, why are you so angry over a poor kid from the countryside?! Li Zhan is such a good-for-nothing. He might sell his sister after going to the casino to gamble. When the time comes, wouldn’t it be better for you to send her over to the nobles then?” He Lun lowered his voice and said.

When Xu Dehui heard this, his expression improved.

“By the way, is the wife you divorced really good-looking?” Xu Dehui thought of something and asked.

He Lun froze for a moment, then laughed.

“Speaking of which, she does seem beautiful. Her looks are not top-notch, but it’s just that my former father-in-law is a teacher and has a scholarly aura, so she looks different!”

Xu Dehui’s heart skipped a beat.

“Then why don’t we let the nobles take a look?! Anyway, you’re already divorced. We can’t let her good looks go to waste!”

He Lun didn’t hesitate at all. He nodded.

“Sure! But after this is done, you have to let me get some benefits as well!”

“No problem!” Xu Dehui said with a wretched smile.

Luo Cheng heard the plan of the two people below clearly and relayed it to Li Xiaoran.

Li Xiaoran was really angry!

Previously, she had thought that she would just teach He Lun a lesson. She did not expect him to be so despicable.

He had already divorced Qiuxiang, but he actually betrayed her! He was worse than a pig!
