Chapter 40: I’ll Give You All the Money

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chi Yaoxi slowly bit into the sweet and sour pork ribs, suddenly feeling especially moved. Although her son was not her biological son and her husband was just in name, the feeling of living together now was such a warm and happy family.

Entertainment media news appeared on the television. Reporters were reporting about the A-list actress Chi Yaoxi.

Reporters mentioned that Chi Yaoxi had once been bailed out as a murder suspect and had went into hiding, causing a strong sensation in the entertainment industry. The general public was very repulsed and disgusted by this. They all hoped that the female celebrity Chi Yaoxi would appear and give a detailed explanation.

Chi Yaoxi’s hand, which was holding the food, paused. She was stunned.

Although she did not read the news on her phone or use her computer to surf the Internet, the media reports on television were still there. For the sake of all the rumors, she had to hide herself and quit her job. But no one would let her off.

Chi Yaoxi knew that the television and media outlets were also doing this to raise the viewership ratings and hype up the attention of these people. It was just that the people were getting a kick out of it. After the meal, there were a lot of topics to talk about and laugh about. They had never considered the impact on the people involved.

Before the reporter could finish talking, Li Qianming took the remote control beside him and turned off the television.

The little guy saw that his mommy did not look well and was a little down. He knew that his mommy had encountered many things that did not go well recently. Now, she could only stay at home and not go to work. She could not go out to earn money. His mommy must be very sad.

The little guy came up to Chi Yaoxi, pouted, and said in all seriousness, “Mommy, you don’t have a job, but don’t worry. I’ll take care of you.”

Chi Yaoxi could not help but laugh at the little guy’s words. Although he was just a little kid, he really knew how to coax people. She smiled and pinched the little fellow’s chubby little face. She asked him, “You’re so young. How are you going to raise Mommy?”

The little fella rubbed his head and thought about it seriously before saying seriously, “I have my pocket money and New Year’s money. I’ve saved them for Mommy.”

Chi Yaoxi hugged the little guy’s neck and kissed his cheek. She nodded happily and smiled.

After dinner, the little guy had an English web class. He automatically went back to his room to class, leaving Li Qianming and Chi Yaoxi alone in the hall downstairs.

It was rare to see Li Qianming relaxing at home. Chi Yaoxi had a question she wanted to ask him.

That day, when she was blocked by the reporters at home and couldn’t go out, the little fella called and said that he would think of a way. Within a few minutes, all the reporters outside had left. Chi Yaoxi asked if it was Li Qianming who had helped her think of a way.

When Li Qianming heard Chi Yaoxi’s question, his face was still cold. He did not speak and only nodded his head lightly.

Chi Yaoxi understood the man’s character. When he didn’t want to talk, no matter how she asked, he wouldn’t say a word. Forget it, he had just nodded and admitted it.

Chi Yaoxi was grateful and felt that it was not easy for the man. He had neither power nor influence. He must have spent a lot of money to find someone to settle it.

“I know you have no power or influence. You must have spent a lot of money dealing with these troublesome matters, right? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely earn money to pay you back in the future.” Chi Yaoxi expressed her thoughts seriously.

Li Qianming’s eyes darkened slightly. He gave Chi Yaoxi a meaningful look, but he did not comment.

Sitting on a stool at the side, Chi Yaoxi glanced at the man not far away from her from time to time. She saw him sitting lazily and casually on the sofa, quietly watching Taiwan Strait. Even though the man was at home and was dressed in casual clothes, it could not hide the noble and cold aura he exuded.

Chi Yaoxi carefully recalled the things related to this man and felt that his identity was not that simple.

When she had first met Wu Shu, she had heard her bragging to her on purpose, saying that the Wu Family and the Li Family were old friends and that they were both from prestigious families. Their parents had long wanted them to get engaged.

At that time, Chi Yaoxi thought that that woman was purposely making things up, showing off and exaggerating in front of her, so that she would have self-awareness, take the initiative to leave Li Qianming.

But recently, Chi Yaoxi had discovered more and more that perhaps what that woman said wasn’t entirely a lie. Li Qianming looked like an extraordinary man.

But…

Chi Ya thought about it and was still confused. It still did not make sense. Since he was a man with such a family background, why would he become a host in the clubhouse? Could it be a personal interest? Chi Yaoxi was puzzled and could not think of any other reason.

If that was the case, he would not have wasted his good looks and figure. Sigh! It was not right to say that. What a pity…

The little fellow pulled Chi Yaoxi upstairs early and urged her to wash up early. She would tell him stories at night and then sleep with him.

Chi Yaoxi changed into her pajamas. When she came to the little fellow’s room, she found that he was rummaging through the drawers for something.

“Chenchen, Mommy is here. What are you looking for? Do you need help?”

“No need, no need.” With that said, the little fellow carried a piggy bank in his arms and a passbook in his hand as he came to Chi Yaoxi.

“Mommy, these are all for you. I said that I would raise you. A man must keep his word!”

“Alright, thank you little darling. Come sit beside Mommy and let us count how much Chenchen, the little tycoon, has in total.” Chi Yaoxi took the piggy bank and shook it. It was very light, and there was no sound of coins colliding inside.

The little guy was really considerate. No matter how much money he had, he was willing to give all the money he had saved up to his mommy. It was rare to see such a generous child. Chi Yaoxi was very gratified.

Looking at how Li Qianming doted on the little guy, perhaps his New Year’s money wouldn’t be too little.

Children nowadays had a good family background. With the accumulation of pocket money, they could save up to a thousand yuan. Coupled with the red packets for the Lunar New Year, they were already very rich to have ten thousand yuan.

“Okay. Mommy, help me calculate clearly. When I have money, I just save it in. I’ve forgotten how much I have.”

The little fella first stuffed the piggy bank into his mommy’s hands and said with a smile, “Open this piggy bank first. It’s so full it can’t be stuffed anymore.”

Chi Yaoxi turned the piggy bank upside down. There was a round rubber stopper, and she easily pulled it out with a little strength.

Wow! Chi Yaoxi’s eyes widened in shock. There were red bills everywhere, no wonder the piggy bank was surprisingly light. There was no sound even when they were shaken. It turned out that they were all hundred yuan bills!

Chi Yaoxi was very shocked. How could a child save so much pocket money? Fortunately, Chenchen was sensible and would not spend money recklessly.

Chi Yaoxi and the little fellow took out the money and counted. Many of them were stuffed until they were wrinkled. They smoothed them out one by one. Finally, they counted. There were actually three thousand yuan!

To the little kid, this was already a huge amount of savings.

“Mommy, this money is all yours.”
