10 Return Home

In the waiting hall of Macau International Airport, Li Yao and Lin Xiaoxi sat next to each other, waiting for the flight home.

Li Yao shut his eyes to rest while Lin Xiaoxi played with her phone.

They stayed in Macau for a week. After the first day, Li Yao refused to let Lin Xiaoxi gamble anymore. Meanwhile, Li Yao visited the casino every other day. Whenever he won three to four million, he would leave. He never became too greedy and did not desire for more. Of course, he brought Lin Xiaoxi along each time. Because of this, Lin Xiaoxi watched as he earned money through gambling the entire time.

Lin Xiaoxi suddenly felt that Li Yao was very unfamiliar.

It was as if he was not the Li Yao that she knew.

The previous Li Yao was joyful, charming, and a little wild. Overall, he was an ordinary student. But this time, after coming out to gamble with him… he felt different. Before the roulette wheel, Li Yao always looked so confident as if he already knew everything. Even when he lost, he looked really calm.

The most exaggerating thing was when Li Yao lost ten times in a row yet he was not in the slightest bit anxious.

His calm and confident look moved Lin Xiaoxi.

That must be how the so-called successful men are.

Li Yao, who had shut his eyes and pretended to be asleep, did not know what Lin Xiaoxi was thinking about. If he did, he might laugh out loud. He was so calm because there was already no surprise in the roulette game.

Confidence was always built on skills.

Being confident blindly was just being naive and arrogant.

Now, his bank account had 9,600,000RMB, a hefty sum of almost 10,000,000 all from winning at the roulette table!

Whenever Li Yao saw the chain of numbers on his banking app, he could not stop smiling.

Although he won this money by cheating.

He did not feel guilty in the slightest bit.

Logic did not exist in reality.

Rich people would only get even richer.

The poor would only get poorer.

And for people like Li Yao, who had superpowers, would naturally gain more wealth gradually.

This is the unspoken rule in life.

Li Yao was at peace with taking this money.

When the plane arrived at Macau International Airport at noon, Li Yao and Lin Xiaoxi boarded the plane from the VIP channel. They sat in the first-class cabin and were welcomed with a decent and comfortable smile from the stewardess… After the plane took off, they enjoyed drinks and snacks. It was really a good feeling.

Li Yao really felt that…

How great it is to be rich!

…

When they returned to their hometown, it was already dark, but it was not too much trouble. Li Yao and Lin Xiaoxi took a designated car back and spent more than 2,000 yuan on it. If this was in the past, they would never spend such money.

But now, they were rich, so this was nothing much.

In the small town, Lin Xiaoxi and Li Yao bade goodbye and went to their own homes.

At the stairs, Lin Xiaoxi knocked on the door loudly, wanting to give her parents a big hug.

Your previous daughter is back~

And even brought money back~

Are you happy?

Are you excited?

Are you surprised?

But after knocking for a while, still, there was no one who came to open the door. Instead, the neighbor next door opened his door. "Xiaoxi, you're back? Don't you know your Mom is hospitalized? Oh, seriously, Oh, Lin didn't tell you about such a serious issue?"

Lin Xiaoxi felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She was instantly dumbfounded.

"Auntie, what? My Mom is hospitalized? What happened?"

"You really don't know? I don't know the exact details either, but two days ago an ambulance came suddenly. Then, Old Lin hasn't returned since then. I'm not sure about the details."

Lin Xiaoxi retreated two steps. Slam!

She leaned on the door.

She felt like she had lost all energy and that her bones were being dragged when she moved.

The old lady hurried over to help Lin Xiaoxi. "Oh girl, what's the matter! Please be okay. Let me accompany you to the hospital. Oh, Old Lin, seriously! He actually hid such a big thing from you!"

The lady complained while she prepared to take Lin Xiaoxi to the hospital. Lin Xiaoxi finally regained consciousness, and she thanked her. Then, she said, "Aunt, it's okay. I'll go home and clean up first. By the way, which hospital did my mom and dad go to? Oh, the Central Hospital? Okay, I know. I'm really fine. Thank you, Auntie!"

After answering the lady, then Lin Xiaoxi took out the keys from her bag to open the door.

Lin Xiaoxi did not unpack her luggage, and neither did she wash up.

She sat straight on the couch and stared at the coffee table with a blank expression.

At the moment, she felt loneliness and helplessness that she had never experienced before.

What should I do?

Right, find Li Yao!

He definitely has a solution!

For some reason, Li Yao's confident and calm composure in the casino flashed past Lin Xiaoxi's mind. She took out her phone and phoned Li Yao's number. She almost cried out. "Hey, Li Yao… My Mom is hospitalized!"

…

On the way to the Central Hospital, Li Yao's head felt numb.

Why do all these matters keep coming out one by one!

Firstly, their eldest daughter transmigrated. Then, the Lin Family went into a financial crisis. Afterward, Lin Xiaoxi suddenly had superbly good luck. Now that she had returned, Auntie Lin was hospitalized?!

Uncle Lin… What has your family come across lately?

Li Yao pinched his temple and felt a headache.

He just received a call. Mom and Dad were asking what had happened. Li Yao had just finished speaking, and the two of them had already packed up their stuff to prepare to go to the hospital.

They actually had no idea that something went wrong with the Lin Family!

Now was the best time to provide help. Old Lin might be so happy that he might just let his precious daughter marry their pig son.

The pig they raised did not know how to find its own vegetable. It really worried his parents.

The two oldies had their heartfelt thoughts written all over their faces. Why would Li Yao still let these two big babies go!

After much convincing, the two oldies agreed to stay home.

Sigh…

Life is tough…

Li Yao could not stop sighing. Seeing that Li Yao was feeling low, Lin Xiaoxi thought that he was unhappy. She said in a low voice, "Sorry to trouble you, Li Yao…"

"Nah, when there's a problem in your home, it is like my problem. It's not troublesome."

The two oldies are the ones who are troublesome.

Why are they so good at jumping?!

Why are they always trying to make their existence known!?

But Lin Xiaoxi misunderstood it. She was shocked. "But Li Yao… You really aren't my type. I-I… don't like men…"

Li Yao's face turned dark.

What? Have we not gotten over this? Is there an end to this?

He stood casually and spoke seriously. "Don't worry, I don't have a liking for you. I'm just seeing it on your sister…"

Lin Xiaoxi cut him off. "I know I am a lot like my sister, but… my sister has already left. It's time for you to come out of it. You have money now, and you also look good. There are definitely a lot of girls who like you. I am the problem. I don't like men…" Lin Xiaoxi grabbed Li Yao's arm and told him with a sincere look in her eyes.

Your reply is so witty, sis!

Li Yao slapped Lin Xiaoxi on the hand and did not bother explaining.

There is nothing much to explain to drama queens.

The more they speak, the more drama this drama queen can come up with.

Lin Xiaoxi pouted as she watched Li Yao leave. In her watery eyes, she was moved to tears. "What a great man. It's such a pity that my sister… doesn't have the luxury."

(Far in another world, Lin Xiaowei sneezed suddenly…)

Lin Xiaoxi caught up with Li Yao. They found Aunt Lin's ward from the nurse at the counter in the hospital.

In the ward, Uncle Lin was sprawled on the bed, snoring lightly.

Clearly, he had been mad tired in the past two days.

Yet Auntie Lin was awake. She was looking at her husband warmly, and she was on a drip. She put her hand on her husband's hair lightly and rubbed his hair softly.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxi and Li Yao enter the ward, Aunt Lin felt a little strange. "Xiaoxi… why are you here?"

Uncle Lin, who was sleeping lightly, woke up and felt that it was strange too. "Why did you guys return so soon?"

Lin Xiaoxi ran over instantly. She had just matured, but she was still very vulnerable.

Uncle Lin comforted her. "Don't worry, your mom has high blood pressure. She felt giddy, so we sent her to the hospital. She's fine, come on…"

They finally coaxed Lin Xiaoxi. Then, Uncle Lin asked her to go to the washroom to wash up her face.

When Lin Xiaoxi left, Li Yao asked, "Uncle Lin, tell me. What exactly happened?"
