"Big brother, what happened..."

Shi Lei had already noticed the quarreling at the door, and was somewhat surprised to see Xu Fan and Xia Xiaodie returning once again.

Following that, his expression became awkward.

Caught between his parents and Xu Fan, he found it difficult to choose.

"Silly boy, let's go inside and talk."

Xu Fan patted him on the shoulder, gave a slight smile, then pulled Xia Xiaodie towards the living room.

"Lei Lei, what's going on..."

At that moment, Shi Lei's parents also came over.

Shi Lei's aunt stood to one side, her face dark as if a storm was about to hit, which made it somewhat embarrassing for him.

On one hand, he didn't want to offend Shi Lei's aunt, and on the other, he couldn't bear to neglect Xu Fan.

Xu Fan smiled, placed the suitcase he was carrying on the table, and then said, "Uncle, Aunty, I left in such a hurry just now, there was something I forgot to mention to you."

"Ah? What, what is it..."

Shi Lei's parents looked confused.

Xu Fan smiled faintly, his hands leisurely making their way to the locks of the suitcase.

"Oh, it's like this, a few days ago, Shi Lei asked me to buy a lottery ticket for him, and it won. I'm here today to give the prize money to you."

"Here, the prize is quite a lot, just a mere ten million."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Fan lifted the lid, and stacks of old head people were revealed to everyone's pupils.

"This!"

Shi Lei's parents had worked hard for years and had never seen so much cash; they were so scared, they almost fainted.

Shi Lei's father now held his somewhat weak-kneed wife and shakily asked, "Child, child, you're not joking, are you...?"

Xu Fan pointed at the money in the suitcase, saying, "Uncle, even if I'm joking, this money wouldn't joke with you, right?"

"Good heavens! That's, that's a lot of money!"

At this time, Shi Lei's aunt excitedly rushed over!

Her eyes now gleaming with gold, and had Xu Fan not been blocking, she would have loved to embrace the money right there and then!

"Lei Lei, lucky you, eh? Just right, your aunt recently took a liking to a house, and since your aunt loves you so much, you should sponsor her a bit!"

"Hehe, not much is needed, just three million will do!"

She rubbed her hands together with a smile and reached for the suitcase.

"Hey! You!"

But before she could touch the money, Xu Fan deftly moved, and shifted the suitcase to the other side.

"Young man, that money belongs to my nephew, what are you doing?"

Shi Lei's aunt's face darkened with displeasure, ready to turn against him at any moment.

Xu Fan's mouth quirked up, his gaze tinged with amusement as he looked at her and said, "True, this is your nephew's money, but what does that have to do with you?"

"You! Little bastard!"

Shi Lei's aunt glared at Xu Fan through gritted teeth, then shouted, "Shi Lei! Your aunt is being bullied, aren't you going to come over and help?"

"Haha! Why should I help you!"

Shi Lei, watching all this unfold, couldn't help laughing!

He wasn't foolish; he knew all this was Xu Fan helping him vent!

Gratefully glancing at Xu Fan, Shi Lei then coldly glared at his aunt.

"When my family was down on its luck, you had my parents toil for you as beasts of burden. Now, my family has money, and you remember we're your relatives?"

"Heh, sorry, but I, Shi Lei, don't consider you my aunt anymore."

"You! You! You ungrateful wretch! If it weren't for our family taking you in, you would be sleeping on the streets by now! Do you know that?"

Slap!

As his aunt pointed toward him, Shi Lei glared and with a single swift motion, slapped her across the face!

"Shut up!"

"You have the nerve to bring that up?"

Shi Lei glared at her, his eyes bloodshot, and gritted his teeth, "Then explain to me, who took the thirty thousand from my dad's room when he was in the hospital!"

The money kept in the room for his father's stay at the hospital had been stolen, nearly cutting off the funds for medical expenses.

It was Shi Lei who shouldered the burden, quietly borrowing the money from friends to cover the medical bills!

Fearing his parents would harbor resentment towards his aunt, he kept it to himself, but now, he could no longer hold back.

"You! What nonsense are you talking about? I—I don't understand what you're saying!"

Shi Lei's accusation struck home, and his aunt suddenly became flustered, her gaze darting around, too scared to meet his.

Seeing this, Shi Lei sneered and pulled out ten thousand yuan from his briefcase, tossing it onto her face!

"This is the cost for my family's stay in your place! From now on, we'll stay out of each other's way!"

With that, Shi Lei, grabbing his parents, stormed out the door without looking back.

"Eh, Shi Lei..."

His aunt's face now looked uglier than if she were crying. She reached out to stop him, but before she could speak, he had already left the house.

Xu Fan looked on indifferently at her aunt's deeply regretful expression and said, "Sometimes, family ties are worth more than you think."

"Girl, let's go."

...

Leading Xia Xiaodie out of the house, she soon saw Shi Lei's family waiting outside.

Carrying the briefcase, Shi Lei saw Xu Fan approaching, tears welling up in his tiger-like eyes, and he knelt down before her!

"Boss! In this life, I am willing to do anything to repay your great kindness!"

If it weren't for Xu Fan's help, Shi Lei doubted he would ever have the chance to stand up to his influential aunt.

"Lei Lei, my friend, I really owe you this time..."

Outside, Shi Lei had already revealed the true story to his parents. They too were wiping away tears and wanted to kneel in front of Xu Fan.

"Uncle, Auntie, please don't do this!"

Seeing this, Xu Fan quickly helped them up.

Following this, she kicked Shi Lei's butt and chided with a laugh, "Silly boy, get up now!"

Shi Lei scratched his head with a silly grin and stood up.

"Boss, please take this money back, it's too much..."

Shi Lei, who had never seen so much money in his life, estimated that this amount was also significant for Xu Fan, and now he tried to hand it back to her.

Xu Fan, seeing his reluctance, was torn between laughter and tears, took out one million yuan from the case, and tossed it to him.

"Here, this is one million. Consider it a loan from me. I'll arrange a job for you later on, and you can pay me back slowly, okay?"

Giving Shi Lei one million outright would only weigh on his conscience, so Xu Fan planned to have He Si arrange a job for him as a way for him to gain experience in society ahead of time.

Then, she handed the remaining nine million in the case to Xia Xiaodie.

Xia Xiaodie's face flushed red at the sight.

"Why, why are you giving me money..."

Biting her lip and feeling nervous, Xia Xiaodie remembered clearly that Xu Fan had just mentioned the money was her dowry for marriage...

Now that he was giving it to her, this scoundrel wouldn't possibly be confessing to her, would he!
