As soon as Li Anran returned to the second floor, her phone rang.

The screen displays 666.

That is, the guy they call Lao Liu in the group.

It's not that he's the sixth child, but that this kid has always been particularly cunning, always able to see what others can't see and think what others can't think of.

Then they do things that leave people speechless and bitter.

Li Anran pressed the answer button: "Liu Zi."

Xu Jingqi's voice came from the other end: "Little Li, what you told us in the group was a joke, right?"

Li Anran might hold back when dealing with others.

But he felt it was unnecessary for Xu Jingqi.

So he told Xu Jingqi the whole story from beginning to end.

From Liao Nanxing calling him, to seeing Su Mu ravaged by the daily grind, to even his desire to marry Su Mu and give her a home, he held nothing back.

However, Xu Jingqi on the other end of the phone remained silent.

After a long while, Xu Jingqi sighed, "Aran, after all these years, you still can't let go of Su Mu?"

Before Li Anran could respond, Xu Jingqi knew that Li Anran had been deeply mired in this situation all these years and had never come out of it.

But Su Mu was not the kind of woman who could settle down and live a peaceful life; she was not good enough for A Ran.

However, honest advice is hard to swallow. If Aran had listened even a little, she wouldn't still be loving Su Mu so desperately today.

"Aran, do you really think Su Mu can be there for you to start over?"

Although Li Anran hesitated for a moment, she still gave an affirmative answer.

"How about this..." Xu Jingqi said, "How about we make a bet?"

Li Anran raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xu Jingqi chuckled: "I bet she can't handle this hardship."

"Of course she can! Liu Zi, if you saw with your own eyes what kind of life she was living with Old Man Liao, you wouldn't be so..."

"I don't care," Xu Jingqi interrupted. "Just tell me, do you dare to bet with me?"

Once a problem is raised, we must immediately escalate the situation.

"So, you know the brothers don't like Su Mu from the bottom of their hearts. Let's make a big bet this time! As long as Su Mu can really help you start from scratch, I'll take responsibility for convincing them to genuinely accept Su Mu as their sister-in-law."

You wouldn't end up with a wife but no brothers, would you? How about that?

Li Anran agreed without hesitation.

In his view, Xu Jingqi and the others were prejudiced against Su Muzhi because he was a third party in the group.

But he felt that Su Mu must have had a reason for doing such a thing.

For example... being manipulated by Liao Nanxing using something; or being forced by Liao Nanxing.

In any case, it certainly couldn't have been Su Mu's own choice.

So now he's trading all his wealth for Su Mu's freedom, and Su Mu is grateful to him, so how could he possibly think he's poor!

This incident will allow them to see for themselves that Su Mu is far better than they thought.

"Then it's settled."

Just as Li Anran was about to hang up the phone, Xu Jingqi called him back.

"Aran, let's make this clear first, you really have to start from scratch."

Once the betting begins, we will no longer help you. You are not allowed to ask anyone for help either.

You know, to truly convince them, you have to shut them up with your achievements.

“Okay!” Li Anran agreed readily.

After hanging up the phone, Li Anran gently knocked on Su Mu's door. After waiting for a while without hearing a response, she guessed that Su Mu must be asleep.

So he decided to say what he had prepared in a few days.

He turned and went to the study.

After all, he's transferring the company to Liao Nanxing's name tomorrow, and there are many things he needs to prepare.

Meanwhile, in the room just a door away, on the soft bed, Su Mu was holding his phone, anxiously waiting for a response from the other party.

But it was as if the other party was deliberately trying to disturb her peace, and then disappeared again.

Could it be... that the other party wasn't satisfied with the price she quoted?

Or perhaps... what the other party wants... isn't money!

Su Mu put down his phone and began a brainstorming session.

From the moment the other person appeared until the few words they exchanged.

She wanted to find out who was on the other end of the WeChat conversation.

So that night, Su Mu suffered from insomnia again.

To be precise, as soon as she falls asleep, she has nightmares again, just like last time.

This kind of torment is unbearable!

...

Meanwhile, on the other side at the same time.

Zhou Chunhua looked at the message Su Mu had sent on her phone.

Su Mu actually tried to settle the matter with money.

Moreover, she could clearly sense Su Mu's panic from the tone and frequency of his messages.

This is enough to prove that Sha Tin Tsui is a real place.

So, the next step is to figure out how to get Su Mu to talk.

Another important point is finding Jiang Tiancheng.

Putting down her phone, Zhou Chunhua looked up at the new moon in the sky.

"Nini, you must wait for your mother to come and pick you up."

The moonlight was hazy.

Family compound.

The baby's cries rang out again, and Liao Nanxing was on the verge of collapse.

He hadn't slept all night because of the noise, and then he went to talk to Li Anran about something during the day.

Working almost 24 hours a day, he was so tired on his drive home that he almost fell asleep.

I had to rely on Red Bull to get the car home.

He had hoped that he could catch up on his sleep once he got home.

But as soon as he entered the house, the old lady immediately handed the child over to him.

She said she was going to the market to buy groceries, but she couldn't carry the child on her back.
