Mrs. Li said, "No. I used to see thugs fighting on the streets all the time. Ah Dong, are you also from Hung Hing?"
Shen Dong nodded and said, "Yes."
Li Xinxin quickly explained, "Mom, although Ah Dong is a member of Hung Hing, he's different from those thugs."
Li's mother clearly disliked the hoodlum, and said softly, "No matter how different they are, they're still hoodlums."
Li Hong said, "Mom, Brother Dong just helped me."
Mrs. Li said angrily, "How dare you say that? You're the one who caused all this trouble. Why did you have to gamble of all things?"
Li Xinxin asked, "Ah Hong, why did you go gambling?"
Li Hong, with a mournful face, said, "Xiao Li's family is asking for a dowry of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, which I really can't afford, so I thought of resorting to underhanded methods, but I didn't expect..."
"A dowry of 500,000!"
Mrs. Li exclaimed, "How many people on the entire Hong Kong Island can come up with so much money? Now, we still have to pay Ah Dong back 660,000, which makes it even more impossible."
Shen Dong said, "Auntie, I don't need to pay this money back."
Without hesitation, Li's mother said, "No. The money owed must be paid back. I'll sell the house tomorrow."
Shen Dong looked at Li Xinxin with a helpless expression.
Li Xinxin gave him a look and said, "Mom, we can talk about the money later."
"I'll take Dong downstairs first, and then we'll go to the hospital together to get Ahong checked out."
Mrs. Li nodded and said, "That's fine."
Shen Dong said, "Auntie, I'll come to see you again in a while."
Soon, Li Xinxin took Shen Dong's hand and walked downstairs.
"Brother Dong, I'm sorry, my mother's attitude towards you isn't very good."
Shen Dong stroked her long hair and smiled, "It's alright. Xin Xin, is that why you didn't dare to introduce me to your aunt?"
Li Xinxin nodded and said, "My dad used to be a top member of the Number Gang. He was killed in a gang war. From that day on, my mom has had a deep hatred for gangs. Before you came, she would fight them with a kitchen knife."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "I see. Go back and comfort your aunt. As for the HK$660,000, you can return it."
Li Xinxin said, "I can't afford to pay it back."
Shen Dong whispered in her ear, "Then let's settle the debt with our bodies."
Li Xinxin blushed, slapped him, and said angrily, "Go away."
Shen Dong said, "You'd better advise your brother. That Xiao Li is definitely not a good match for you."
Li Xinxin said, "I know."
Shen Dong took out a credit card from his pocket and said, "This is for you. The password is your birthday."
Li Xinxin frowned slightly and said, "What are you doing? Are you trying to take care of me?"
Shen Dong laughed and said, "I wanted you to get a feel for what it's like to be a housekeeper first, so you won't be scared out of your wits by more money later."
Li Xinxin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Go to hell."
