Lu Zhicheng couldn't find Li Jing'er anywhere, so he had to go home first. Fortunately, Lu's mother had already cleaned the floor, and the disgusting smell was gone in the room.
Mother Lu came over and gave Lu Zhicheng some advice: "Zhicheng, look, Jing'er is now pregnant with our Lu family's child. You should marry her quickly, otherwise I will be worried."
Humph, wait until Li Jing'er becomes my real daughter-in-law, and see if she dares to disobey me as her mother-in-law!
After all, it has been like this since ancient times. If Li Jing'er dared to disobey her, the neighbors' spit would drown her.
Lu Zhicheng was a little hesitant. He was about to make a fortune. By then, he would have all kinds of women. Would he still need Li Jing'er?
"Mom, let's talk about this later."
Mother Lu didn't know what her son was thinking yet, and looked puzzled: "What's wrong, Zhicheng? Haven't you always liked Li Jing'er? Why are you hesitating now?"
Lu Zhicheng said impatiently: "What do you know? You will know later."
Mother Lu felt embarrassed, but she didn't dare to disobey her son. After all, her daughter was gone now, and her son was her only hope.
On the other side, Li Jing'er was walking aimlessly on the street. Suddenly, her stomach moved. She touched her stomach and thought that Lu Zhicheng was the child's biological father after all, so she had to go back.
When Lu Zhicheng and Lu Ma saw Li Jing'er come back obediently, they felt relieved, but they still looked angry on the surface.
"Jing'er, you are so disobedient. You are pregnant with a child. How can you just run away like that? What if you hurt the child?"
Mother Lu also said: "Jing'er, no matter what, you are still a member of the Lu family. How can you be so willful? How will you take care of the children in the future?"
Li Jing'er couldn't help but feel wronged when they kept talking about their children without her. "Zhicheng, don't you feel sorry for me? I just smelled the pig's stomach and felt terribly uncomfortable. Isn't this what happens when you're pregnant?"
A thought flashed through Lu Zhicheng's mind. Isn't it a common experience when you are pregnant? He couldn't help but think that Li Jing'er was making a big deal out of nothing.
But since Li Jing'er is willing to come back obediently now, he must comfort her.
"Jing'er, I know your pregnancy was difficult. Okay, let's just pretend this never happened. Don't run out without my permission from now on. You know, I'm protecting you."
Li Jing'er nodded obediently. She also knew that she had nowhere else to go except here.
Li Jing'er and Lu Ma each took a step back and stayed at home peacefully for a month, but Lu Zhicheng was not at peace. During this month, his stock price plummeted like a roller coaster.
He was almost going crazy, and while Lu Ma and Li Jing'er were not paying attention, he went out and called Brother Chen.
"Hey, Brother Chen, didn't you say that the stock price would go up later?"
Brother Chen didn't say anything.
Lu Zhicheng felt something was wrong: "Hey, Brother Chen, are you talking?!"
It was not until he heard a beeping sound from the other end that Lu Zhicheng realized that the phone had been hung up long ago. When he called again, the number was no longer in service.
He panicked all of a sudden, thinking that maybe Brother Chen would not ignore him and that he must have encountered some accident.
But what should we do with this stock?
Looking at the stocks that were about to lose all their money, Lu Zhicheng gritted his teeth and sold them all.
In the end, he only got back 3,000 yuan out of over 200,000 yuan. Lu Zhicheng walked down the street in despair, thinking that the rooftop of a building on the roadside seemed nice too...
Just then, Li Jing'er called him.
He frowned irritably: "What's wrong, Jing'er, I'm not in the mood now."
Li Jing'er said cautiously, "Zhicheng, we're out of salt at home. Buy a pack when you come back. Mom's in the bathroom, and I can't leave while I'm watching the pot."
Lu Zhicheng had no choice but to go to the supermarket to buy salt again. However, when he went to pay, it showed that the balance was insufficient. Faced with the whispers of people around him, he blushed and changed another card to withdraw cash, which took him half a day to complete the payment.
As he left, he seemed to be able to see the cashier's contemptuous look.
Lu Zhicheng just felt a surge of anger in his stomach.
As soon as he got home, Lu Zhicheng threw the salt on the ground. Lu's mother, who had just come out of the bathroom, was startled and said, "Zhicheng, what are you doing?"
Lu Zhicheng looked at Lu Ma with an unpleasant expression: "Mom, how much money is left at home?"
He must make back all the money he lost!
Mother Lu looked uneasy: "How much money do we have at home? It seems that there is not much left. I still have 10,000 yuan here."
Lu Zhicheng frowned. Why was there so little? It was just a drop in the bucket.
"Mom, you just deal with it for me first."
Mother Lu looked embarrassed: "Zhicheng, what are you going to do with it? Isn't the previous 100,000 enough?"
Lu Zhicheng looked annoyed and directly snatched Lu Ma's phone to transfer money to himself.
"Mom, don't worry about this."
Li Jing'er listened in the kitchen, her heart skipping a beat. One hundred thousand? Hadn't she borrowed one hundred thousand from Lu Zhicheng before because of her brother's illness? Didn't he say he didn't have it then?
Unexpectedly, it wasn’t that he didn’t have the money, but that he simply didn’t want to lend it to her!
Li Jing'er gritted her teeth and said, "Humph, it's not like she can't pay it back."
Unexpectedly, the next second Lu Zhicheng walked towards her: "Jing'er, how much money do you have?"
