Luo Ming regretted it, and so did his Mother Luo. Who knew this adopted son would be so successful? He glanced at his biological son again; he looked so frail that he could be blown away by a gust of wind. The more he looked at him, the more upset he became.
"Why haven't you been going to school lately? Why are you always asking for leave?" Mother Luo put down her chopsticks and asked sternly.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I haven't been feeling well lately, and I also have to help out at the company. Dad keeps asking me to help him raise money. If I don't help him, I'm afraid the company will go bankrupt and I'll be forced to take on these debts." Although Luo Bai spoke in a pitiful tone, the more Luo Ming listened, the more uneasy he felt.
"It's only natural for a son to help his father. Luo Bai, tell me, do you resent your father now? Do you resent your father's incompetence?" Luo Ming's eyes were really pressing him for answers.
Luo Bai: "..." Damn it, if Luo Ming hadn't insisted on bringing him back, he wouldn't be in this situation today.
Song Yachao was sent to City C, while Shen Dong was locked up at home. Huo Cifeng had completely given up on him, and he had lost three connections in a row.
What did Luo Ming get in return? A simple "it's only natural" response?
"Dad, Mom, take your time eating. I'm going out." Luo Bai was afraid that if he continued, he would lose his temper and ruin his image as a good son.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Luo Family was down on its luck at this time, it still had more money than the Qin Family, and the Luo Family owned countless properties.
Luo Corporation recently began large-scale layoffs, cutting jobs from older, higher-paid employees.
The people below also had many complaints, but considering that the Luo Corporation was about to go bankrupt, they weren't so regretful anymore; it was better for them to leave now.
The Luo Corporation has been plagued by problems lately, causing widespread anxiety. Some employees, including a large number of others, were initially planned to be laid off by half, but unexpectedly, a third of them voluntarily submitted their resignations and followed their senior colleagues.
Many people felt they were too young, while those in higher positions valued future prospects more, so they decisively gave up on the hollow tree that was the Luo Corporation.
Luo Beishi very satisfied; he hadn't expected that even the situation of an employee running away could earn him Face-Slapping Points.
" Tongtong, how many 'Face-Slapping Points' do we need to collect so that Huo Cixiao can recover from rehabilitation and be full of energy again after he wakes up?"
"Host, you need 200 Face-Slapping Points."
Luo Beishi: "..." What should I do if I want to attack the system? I've worked so hard these past few days and I've only earned 30?
Of course, Face-Slapping Points is a must; the system forces him to earn them. If he doesn't complete the assigned tasks, the system will deduct a corresponding amount or a certain amount of his lifespan. This is exactly what hits him right. Please, he'll be heartbroken if he loses any of those things!
"Honey, I'm not in a good mood," Luo Beishi said suddenly, sounding dejected.
Huo Cixiao: "..." She's home all day long, rich, and has a husband to keep her company. How could she not be beautiful? Have you already gotten tired of looking at him?
"Ah, I want to buy a game console for my bedroom! That's it!" Luo Beishi suddenly thought of playing games to pass the time!
Huo Cixiao: "..." Weren't you just in a bad mood? How can your cheap wife be so fickle?
Luo Beishi acted immediately, calling Uncle Chen to arrange it for him. Uncle Chen was very farsighted; although he didn't understand the tastes of young people, he had a wide network of connections and quickly got a large-screen game console, game controllers, and the like.
Uncle Chen was increasingly pleased with his young mistress. She was no pitiful little thing at all; his young master had clearly married a wealthy patron.
Luo Beishi transferred one million yuan to Uncle Chen and also told Uncle Chen to buy some health supplements since he was getting old.
Uncle Chen was deeply moved after hearing this, thinking to himself how kind his wife was.
It's only 3 PM now, Luo Beishi picks up the game very quickly.
Huo Cixiao was listening to a radio drama by himself for the first time and found it quite uncomfortable.
It's really boring without a cheap wife beside you to make comments.
My cheap wife is so short-lived! Just a few days ago she was watching it obsessively and even had people working overtime to record it, but now she doesn't listen to it at all.
Huo Cixiao sighed helplessly. What could he do? His wife could do whatever she wanted, and he, a vegetable, couldn't stop her.
In a bad mood Huo Cixiao started trying to move his hand, expecting the same result today. But to his surprise... he could move his right hand from the wrist down!
Neither Luo Beishi was engrossed in the game, nor the system, who was engrossed in watching TV, noticed Huo Cixiao's movements.
Huo Cixiao thought for a moment. Since he couldn't wake up anyway, he decided to pretend for now. If his cheap wife knew that he was conscious, she probably wouldn't dare to complain to him anymore.
Besides, he used to be really fierce, which is probably why his mistress is afraid to get close to him. If she knew what he said every day, wouldn't she be mortified?
Huo Cixiao felt he had really given his cheap wife face.
Time flies
It's the weekend again.
Today was destined to be extraordinary; a man who was extremely reluctant to speak arrived at the Luo Beishi.
" A-Niu, let him go back. He's still our brother-in-law, give him some face. Just say that illegitimate sons aren't allowed inside."
A-Niu: "..." Huo Cifeng probably thinks you might as well call Huo Cifeng a dog.
When Huo Cifeng heard this outside the door, he almost laughed in anger.
He finally made up his mind to come, but in the end, he was even worse off than his second aunt, who at least managed to get in.
However, he was labeled as an illegitimate son.
The live broadcast room was located in the grass.
[Haha, today is another day I want to laugh.]
[This illegitimate son is really looking down on Huo Cifeng. Luo Beishi is so cool!]
[I heard that before Huo Cixiao's mother passed away, his mistress had already moved into their home, and Huo Cifeng is her son. Luo Beishi is quite something.]
[Well done, Beibei! ]
Luo Beishi really protected Huo Cixiao; I heard he even personally took care of him.
[Where did you guys get this information? Damn, is the person upstairs a rich kid?]
Luo Beishi didn't want to waste his breath; he just wanted the system to do the work for him and was too lazy to pay attention to Huo Cifeng. Huo Cifeng was not only hypocritical and a petty person, but he also sent people to kidnap him and wanted to have him humiliated.
If Huo Cifeng hadn't left no evidence against him, Luo Beishi would have slapped him across the face long ago.
Huo Cixiao was lying down, didn't expect his cheap wife to be so protective of him. Well, that's right, his cheap wife spends all her time by his side when she's not in class.
Why would he waste his precious time meeting unimportant people?
Huo Cifeng has been playing the victim since he was a child, pretending to be innocent and obedient to win the man's affection. Every time he does something wrong, he blames it on him. No wonder he is the son of a mistress. He has been a green tea bitch since elementary school.
Once, Huo Cifeng deliberately slipped and fell into the pool. The adults rushed over when they heard the noise, before Huo Cixiao could even say anything.
The man then came over and berated him, hurling very harsh insults.
Having lost his mother, Huo Cixiao was left without protection. The old man would only watch silently from the sidelines, never offering a helping hand or saying a word for him.
Luo Beishi was the second person to protect him at all costs.
