Chapter 64 I Don't Bully People

  Liu Ju accompanied a table of people in "Mo Ma". And Li Xiaoteng decided to make Kong Zhen his CEO after observing him for a night. Watching Kong Zhen and Zhao Baozi leave, he came alone to Cui Xiaoyan's barbecue stall to try her lamb skewers...

  Cui Xiaoyan stood up, rubbed her slightly numb legs and sighed: "Okay, since you want to eat, I'll grill some for you!" She then opened the skewer box, took out ten skewers of meat, placed them in the oven, fanned the charcoal fire with a fan while pushing the money to Li Xiaoteng, saying: "You gave me such a big red envelope, consider the lamb skewers on me!"

  Li Xiaoteng didn't speak, nor did he take the money. He hugged his arms and watched Cui Xiaoyan roast lamb skewers. Li Xiaoteng saw Cui Xiaoyan's roasting skills and nodded secretly. Suddenly, he understood why all the uncles came to her place to eat roasted skewers.

  As the aroma of roasted meat wafted out, Li Xiaoteng sniffed and nodded slightly. The flavor was passable, but not particularly impressive. However, with a long-haired, large-breasted beauty serving the lamb skewers, it seemed that the pleasure of watching her was greater than the pleasure of eating!

  Two people looked at each other without speaking, not a big deal. Cui Xiaoyan roasted the lamb skewers. Li Xiaoteng took over the handed-over lamb skewers with a smile and glanced at Cui Xiaoyan again. He jokingly said: "Beauty! Hurry back home alone, although Beijing's security is good, but it can't stand many wolves! Hahaha..."

  In the distance, on the tree-lined road, a pale yellow streetlight shone down on the asphalt. Cui Xiaoyan gazed at Li Xiaoteng's shadow stretching out long and thin. She let out a soft sigh, and suddenly, from far away, she heard Li Xiaoteng singing loudly: "I want to live a life that bursts forth in bloom, like flying through the vast sky, like traversing the endless wilderness. To possess the power to break free from everything..."

  In the pitch-black neighborhood, the windows were like black holes. It made people feel that every household was a big cave, giving off an eerie and frightening feeling. Li Xiaoteng was chewing on a lamb skewer while habitually raising his head to glance at his own window. Seeing the light still on in his own home, he suddenly felt a sense of belonging and anticipation!

  Perhaps this feeling, only the travelers who are away from home, drifting in many places such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, would have. It faintly lingered in Li Xiaoteng's mind, Li Xiaoteng suddenly shook his head, thinking he was being a bit too sentimental.

  Thinking that the World Cup is about to start! I have to transfer money to William Hill's account as soon as I get home. If I don't, it will be too late. More than 40 million... Hehehe... While thinking, he still made a silly smile in his mouth.

  Gently insert the key into the lock, carefully turn it open. Gently push open the large door of the corridor, suddenly discover...

  "Hey! Dad, why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing sitting in the living room? You can scare people to death!" Li Xiaoteng said weakly.

  Li Xiaoteng's dad scowled, his eyes red and puffy. His gaze was somewhat scattered as he looked at Li Xiaoteng. Pointing to the stool in the living room, his voice a little hoarse, he said: "Sit down!" Then he shouted towards the house: "Xiaoteng is back!"

  The light in the bedroom suddenly turned on. Li's mother slowly walked out of the bedroom. Li Xiaoteng looked at his mother's slightly swollen eye bags, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart...

  Mr. Li hadn't spoken yet, when Mrs. Li suddenly said: "You spent 10,000 yuan to buy two stones from Uncle Song?" Li Xiaoteng was taken aback. He hadn't expected the events of that afternoon to be known by his parents now. Looking at their expressions, he suddenly seemed to understand something.

  Mrs. Li pulled over a stool and sat down, looking at Li Xiaoteng who had just admitted it. She hastily asked: "I heard that the jade was sold for 5.5 million?"

  Li Xiaoteng looked at his dad with an unusual gaze. Suddenly, he felt a chill on the back of his neck. The huge sum of money that he had tried to hide was discovered so quickly. Li Xiaoteng could only confess to his parents: "At that time, Old Man Song was selling rocks everywhere. He said he wanted to sell it for 10,000 yuan. Nobody else wanted it, but there was one person who offered 3,000 yuan. I thought it was someone from our family..." Then, turning to his mom, he said: "You also know about Old Man Song's family situation! At that time, I just wanted to help out. It was only 10,000 yuan, just a few days' worth of expenses for us...I..."

  Li Xiaoteng hadn't finished speaking when Li's father slapped the table twice. He scolded in a loud voice, "What nonsense! The money your mother and I saved by being frugal is just for you to squander like this?"

  Mrs. Li glared at Mr. Li and shouted loudly, "Old Li, you're scaring the kid to death!" Mr. Li's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at Little Li, pointing at him with his finger, saying, "He's over twenty years old! Is he still a child?"

  "Isn't this making money? What are you yelling about!" Li's mom said loudly, glancing at Li's dad. Li's dad twitched the corner of his mouth and let out a somewhat depressed sigh, turning his head away without saying another word.

  "Xiao Teng, Song Uncle came to our house today. He talked with me about what happened this afternoon. His family's situation is really not good. I hope we can lend him two million..."

  Li Xiaoteng suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded, with a sense of spinning. Weakly, he asked: "Mom, did you agree?" Li's mom glared angrily at Li's dad. Helplessly, she said: "Although I'm in charge at home, big decisions still need to be made by your father. And since the money was earned by you, you should also express your opinion on this matter!"

  Li Xiaoteng suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Uncle Song was having a hard time, so I helped out. Now that Shi Tou is making money, he wants to come back for more!" After finishing speaking, he looked at his old man and asked, "Dad, what do you think we should do about this?"

  Mr. Li then joined forces with Li Xiaoteng and said to Mrs. Li, "This money was earned by you, I don't think it should be lent out. Even if we lend him the money, it's just a temporary solution, not a long-term one. He's borrowing 2 million now, who knows what will happen next?"

  Li Xiaoteng's face finally eased a lot. He hurriedly said: "That's right! That's it. He borrowed 20 million? Is this called borrowing money?"

  "Mom Li looked at the two of them and sighed, saying: "I just told him to wait for you to come back. Our family will discuss it together!" Dad Li sat in a chair, with a complex gaze, staring at Little Teng and said: "Little Teng, this money is yours! What do you plan to do? Your mom and I have almost performed a full martial arts routine over this matter!" After finishing speaking, Dad Li let out a deep sigh.

  Li Xiaoteng closed his eyes and didn't speak. He organized his words in his heart. Then he said to his mother, "Mom, when I bought this stone at that time, it was to help Mr. Song. But unexpectedly, a top-quality jade was cut out from the stone that no one thought highly of!"

  "Are you willing to lend money to Song Dage? Are you willing to lend 2 million?" Li's mother asked, seemingly willing to lend the money. She herself was reluctant to part with it.

  Li Xiaoteng looked at his mom and chuckled. Looking at the deep eyes of his old man, he pouted and said: "I won't lend you money!"

  Mr. Li saw that Li Xiaoteng was unwilling to lend money, and his heart felt like a huge stone had fallen to the ground! He let out a long sigh of relief. Li Xiaoteng continued, "Old Man Song didn't come to borrow money at all. He came to rob us!"

  "Hey, watch your mouth! Even if Mr. Song is wrong, you can't talk to him like that. He's your elder, and I taught you from a young age to have manners!"

  Mr. Li scolded angrily: "Polite? Polite and he came to the door! Polite? Polite and he came to settle the bill!"

  Li Xiaoteng shrugged and said, "Dad, don't worry. We just won't lend it to him! This matter is reasonable wherever we go! If his family is really in trouble, I will definitely help! But coming over to bully us?" Li Xiaoteng paused for a moment, looked around at his parents, and continued, "I don't bully people, but others bullying our family won't do either!"
