Chapter 2028 The Life of a Tycoon 15
Just as the two were about to eat, they heard a knock on the door.
"Boom boom boom..."
Lin Shouyue paused, somewhat unwilling to acknowledge the knocking at the door.
I thought he would give up if he ignored me, but after knocking on the door for a minute, he started shouting outside the door.
"Lin Shouyue, I know you're home. Come open the door. Stop hiding at home all day long. I'm your mother. Come open the door."
"Knock knock knock, did you hear that? Come open the door, I need to talk to you."
"If you don't open the door, I'll kick it down!"
Lin Shouyue's expression turned cold; he had truly had enough of his mother.
He looked at Su Yan with some concern, but she showed no signs of impatience, only curiosity.
"It's my mom, wait for me a moment."
"Well, let's go."
Lin Shouyue stood up, put on a hoodie to cover his head, and then went to open the door.
The door opened and closed quickly, and Lin Shouyue's conversation with his mother could be heard from outside the door.
"what?"
"What? I'm your mother. Can't you even greet your own mother? You stay at home all day like a ghost. Your younger brother has a girlfriend and he's going to visit her family. As the older brother, shouldn't you contribute some money so he can meet his future in-laws with dignity?"
Lin's mother said matter-of-factly, not seeing anything wrong with her younger son asking his future father-in-law for money.
"I have no money."
"How could you not have money? You've always worked part-time while studying, you don't like to go out, and you don't have a girlfriend. What expenses could you possibly have? You couldn't possibly not have any savings."
"I've spent all my money."
"You've spent it all? You spendthrift! I told you to rent anywhere in an old neighborhood, but you insisted on renting here, saying it's quiet and no one will bother you. I told you not to stay home all day, to go out and get a couple of jobs, to meet more people, but you said you didn't want to meet strangers. Now your brother is meeting his future in-laws, and he can't afford a decent gift, so what if his future father-in-law looks down on him?"
"What does it matter to me if he's disliked?"
“Listen to what you’re saying, are you even speaking human language? He’s your own brother. With your personality, you’re destined to be alone in your old age. You’ll still have to rely on your brother’s children to take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die.”
“I can go to a nursing home.”
“Don’t nursing homes need relatives to pay for your living expenses? If you use the money you earn now to support your brother, his future children will be filial to you. Otherwise, no one will pay for your living expenses in the nursing home in the future, and you will be kicked out.”
Lin Shouyue remained silent, but his mother continued talking incessantly.
“You’re reluctant to give your brother a little money now, what will you do in the future? I’m your own mother, would I ever harm you? Go and take out your savings, and I’ll pretend I didn’t hear anything about what happened before.”
"I really don't have any money."
“I don’t believe it. I’ll go in and look for it myself. How could you not have money? You don’t have anywhere you need it.”
Lin Shouyue stood guard by the door, preventing his mother from entering.
Lin's mother pushed and shoved several times, but couldn't push the person away. She said angrily, "I am your own mother. What are you doing? This is unfilial."
Lin Shouyue kept his head down and didn't say anything, but he didn't move an inch.
Lin's mother, exasperated, pounded on him a few times before finally threatening, "Anyway, your brother is going to his future father-in-law's house next week. You have one week to scrape together at least two thousand yuan. I'll come back to collect it in a couple of days. Otherwise, don't blame me for disowning you as my son."
"I do not have."
"Whether you have it or not, you have to sell everything you own to raise enough for me."
After saying that, Lin's mother didn't care whether Lin Shouyue agreed or not. She acted as if the emperor had issued an imperial edict, and left after giving her warning.
A minute later, Lin Shouyue unlocked the door with his fingerprint and came in.
This time, he exuded a cold, aloof, and self-loathing aura.
He didn't dare to look up at Su Yan, afraid that Su Yan would despise him, afraid to see the contempt in her eyes.
He stood by the door, too afraid to move or even lift his head.
It looked just like an abandoned puppy, pitifully huddled in the corner.
"Come here, the barbecue is cooked."
Su Yan's voice was as clear and melodious as a mountain spring. Lin Shouyue suddenly looked up at Su Yan. There was no disdain or disgust in her eyes, only the relaxed and happy feeling of inviting him to eat barbecue.
Lin Shouyue walked over, still somewhat apprehensive, and asked, "Just now, didn't you hear anything?"
Su Yan took a bite of the grilled meat, a satisfied expression on his face, and praised, "The sauce for this grilled meat goes so well with this tender beef, it's really delicious. Your seasoning skills are so good, you could open a grilled meat restaurant."
Lin Shouyue was a little happy to hear her praise him, but he still tried to remain calm and asked again, "Didn't you hear what my mother said?"
Su Yan patted his shoulder and comforted him, "I heard you. Every family has its own problems. But raising your brother is your parents' responsibility, not yours. There's nothing wrong with what you did. In the future, you need to learn to stand up for yourself and not let family ties control you anymore. I know you can do it."
"Well, I will."
The two exchanged only a few words before moving on to the topic of barbecue and other things. Soon, Lin Shouyue forgot about the unpleasantness his family had caused him.
He felt that the time he spent with Su Yan had passed so quickly; it seemed like they hadn't been talking for very long, and it was already over.
Su Yan went downstairs to rest, while he went back to his bedroom and started dominating the game.
His teammates could clearly sense that he was in great form today.
Baili Hongniang: "18, why are you so energetic today? Are you on drugs?"
AK18: "Stop talking nonsense and keep up with my pace."
Baili Hongniang: "Your pace is so fast, I'm afraid if I keep up I'll become cannon fodder."
AK18: "If you can't keep up, shut up. Don't affect my performance."
Little White Rabbit in the Waves: "Hahaha, anyway, I'm just lying down and winning is really great."
Seeing an airplane: "I'm lying down too, 18-year-old. If you don't have enough bullets, you can ask me. Love you."
AK18: "As long as you don't disgust me, it's fine."
......
Lin Shouyue played like he had cheated in the game, and he practically broke through the enemy's defenses in one night.
They all shouted messages in the game world.
"Holy crap, AK18 is being cheated tonight, I'm reporting it."
"Holy crap, is he heartbroken and here to take revenge on society? I was killed before I even landed."
"Damn, I died even more unjustly. He could beat me to death while I was sitting in the car."
"Holy crap, I, Voldemort, have turned into a Box Monster today."
"Holy crap, please system, don't put me on the same map as AK18 again, God help me."
......
In one night, AK18's performance propelled him to the top of the China rankings.
After completing today's training, Lin Shouyue went to sleep contentedly.
