12 Old Li's Lifestyle

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Xiaowei changed.

In reality, as long as one was a mortal, they would change. Different life experiences would create different personalities. The so-called 'constancy' was being persistent on a particular matter. However, persisting… was nothing more than charging head-first to the end. The so-called 'persistence' meant that despite being hesitant and wanting to withdraw, one would still choose to move forward even at the cusp of giving up.

Lin Xiaowei was like that.

She had transmigrated. Although she had only passed away for a short period of time on Earth, she had already lived through more than ten years in this alternate world.

When she woke up, she was a lucky person who had escaped from the midst of firepower, before being chosen by the Magic Association and eventually entering the ranks of the casters.

Within these years, she had met some friends and even had some admirers.

However, in these years, she had always longed for home.

She missed her biological parents.

Time never caused this longing of hers to fade away. Instead, it became more intense than before.

Hence, she pleaded with Li Yao to take care of her family. She also asked Li Yao to make sure that her family members would live until a hundred years old and have a long life… She already had a planted agent on Earth. She would return!

Definitely!

She had transmigrated.

She was a magician.

She became calmer and wiser. She also became more determined and stubborn.

Earth, wait for me to return!

The Lin Family was still taking care of Mom, who was in the hospital. Li Yao started searching up information from Baidu and Wikipedia. He even made a special trip to the provincial capital and spent a huge sum of money to talk to a motor neurone disease specialist. He not only searched up the triggers and scientific principles of the disease, but he also brought home some classic disease cases.

The longest survivor of the motor neurone disease was Stephen Hawking. Actually, a lot of major hospitals and experts had his illness report.

Hawkings himself agreed to take it out for research purposes.

Hawkings had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis when he was 21 years old. He only passed away at the age of 76.

It was difficult to say if he had succeeded or failed in this battle with the disease.

Regardless, he was a hero.

He was also the greatest physicist of the modern ages. He was one of the greatest men globally in the 20th Century.

Upon receiving this information, Li Yao tidied them up into a folder and sent it to Lin Xiaowei.

Li Yao: "You have waited for long. The information that you require is all inside this folder. Receive it."

Lin Xiaowei replied immediately: "Not at all. It's been tough on you."

After a while…

Lin Xiaowei: "Wow! So much? It's really comprehensive!"

Li Yao: "Of course! Oh right, you still have to wait a while for Auntie's medical report. To avoid disturbing your little sister, I invited a specialist team from the provincial capital to give her a holistic check-up. I'll tidy the report for you too."

Lin Xiaowei: "Thank you!"

Li Yao rolled his eyes: "…Don't keep your phone connected for this period of time. It should be taking quite a toll on you. The medical report will only come a week later. Come online then."

He knew that Lin Xiaowei, this brat, definitely did not have a good rest in recent days.

She replied to his messages so quickly. To be constantly online while connected to the inter-world communication network, she must have expended a considerable amount of her soul's energy.

Lin Xiaowei: "Thank you. You are as thoughtful as ever."

Li Yao: "???"

I was only caring about you for a moment. Why did you make it sound like I was your spare tire?

Are you trying to stir things up?

Li Yao wanted to roast her, but Lin Xiaowei's profile picture turned gray.

What the heck…

Coincidentally, his Dad came out suspiciously from his room. Li Yao glared at him and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Shh!"

His Dad came in front of him guiltily and gestured for him to speak softly. "Your mom's asleep. Old Zhou asked me out for a drink. Hahaha… I know!" Old Li reached his hand into his bag and took out a fifty-dollar note. "Take and spend it!"

I have a net worth of a few hundred thousand dollars, but you only give me fifty-dollars to spend?

Who are you patronizing?

Li Yao asked, "Do you have money for a drink?"

"No. Old Zhou is treating me! Hahaha~" Old Li licked his lips, and he was smiling so much that his face blossomed into a flower.

"I do."

As he spoke, he took out a wad of money from his bag. There were at least ten thousand dollars.

"???"

Where did you get so much money from?!

Negative feelings from Li Yao +555...

The last time he had so much money in his pocket was… Damn it. It was so long ago that he forgot. The funds at home were all managed by Zhang Yufeng. He only had six hundred dollars as his allowance every month! How many times could he drink with this amount of money? Old Li felt very bitter!

Old Li sat on the sofa, his hand still gripping that wrinkled fifty-dollar note. He sat in a daze for quite some time.

Old Zhou sent a message over: "Old Li, why aren't you here yet? Are we still drinking?"

Old Li: "No. Drink my foot!"

Old Zhou: "???"

What's going on? He was still pleading with him to treat him to a drink earlier. Why did he have a change in attitude so quickly?

Negative feelings from Old Zhou +222…

After showing off his wealth to his Dad, Li Yao felt much more relaxed.

He always cheated his son when he had nothing to do. Now that your son is rich… you still want to bribe me with fifty-dollars?

What kind of family background?

Don't you have any idea?

Old Li, you must reflect on yourself!

Hm… Old Li seemed to be quite handsome and suave when he was younger. Otherwise, he would not give birth to such a good-looking son. Why is he so pathetic now?

Oh, he married Mom.

The friction in their marriage was indeed really serious… Li Yao nodded. Marriage was too scary. He started to think that it was a wise decision not to look for a girlfriend!

Li Yao sat cross-legged and started meditating. After his meditation, he analyzed the circuits of "The Master's Hand". Eventually, after all his energy had been expended, he fell into a deep sleep exhaustedly.

The next morning, Li Yao woke up and ate breakfast under his Mom's roaring nagging.

At the dining table, his Dad munched on his fritters while looking at Li Yao grudgingly. That gaze…

Tsk~

He felt so wronged.

There was no choice. Who asked you to look for a wife like Mom?

After eating breakfast, Li Yao went out of the door happily. His Mom looked at his Dad, who had a weird aura, and asked, "Old Li, what's wrong with you? It's so early in the morning, yet you are so…"

Mom, who had always been straight-forward and honest, could not find a phrase to describe Old Li. He had not been like this for all these years.

Old Li was tearing up.

You don't understand, woman.

Now, I am the lowest creature of this home.

So wronged.

I want to cry.

Zhang Yufeng: "Crazy!"

The insensitive Mom did not think too much about it. She only looked at the door and mumbled. "What's Big Yao doing? Going to the hospital again? He's been going to the hospital frequently these days… Hahaha, but it's a good thing. A good thing!"

Her tone had a feeling like "the pig that we have been raising finally learned how to offer cabbages".

Old Li's eyes brightened. "I'll go and have a look. Have a look!"

He would take the opportunity to cheat his son. In the future, he could settle the bills for his drinks generously!

Haha! Hahahaha! Old Zhou, you bastard. Wait for me!

Dad was so excited that his entire face was radiating light. However, he did not expect Mom to reach out her hand, lock his neck, and press him into the chair. "What business do you have with my son's flirting? Do you want to cheat on him with his girlfriend? You don't know shame!"

"???"

At that moment, he felt a murderous aura…
