CHAPTER 273: 117 AUNT ZHAO’S SEWING MACHINE! RONG AND SHEN’S LOVE HANDOVER ☆☆☆☆☆_3

"Alright, suit yourself. Are there any young girls at the company? Auntie can’t keep you company forever."

"Auntie, not yet. If I find someone, I’ll let you know. Don’t worry, Auntie."

Zhao Shumin couldn’t tell if Li Zhiyan was being sincere or just brushing her off with casual words.

Soon after, a wave of drowsiness overtook them, and the two fell asleep together.

...

When Li Zhiyan woke up, Zhao Shumin was already up.

Li Zhiyan knew Aunt Zhao was sewing clothes in the next room. After entering the master bedroom, he sat down quietly without disturbing her.

During this time, Li Zhiyan was also pondering over the events of the night.

His ambitions were a bit too grand, and they were destined to be riddled with setbacks.

Not long after, Li Zhiyan received a WeChat message from He Yanrong.

"Baby, come pick up your auntie tonight with the car."

"The four of us can have dinner together."

"Alright, Auntie, got it."

At 3:30 PM, Zhao Shumin ended her livestream and stood up.

"Xiao Yan, the clothes are ready. Let’s go deliver the orders."

As she spoke, Zhao Shumin neatly folded the clothes and packed them into an online bought cardboard box with a focused earnestness.

Zhao Shumin deeply understood how hard it was to make money. After years of scrimping and saving, she had managed to save up 800,000 yuan.

Now, earning 700 or 800 yuan a day, sometimes even over 1,000, she cherished every penny.

"Alright, Auntie, I’ll go with you. But I’ll walk a bit behind, just in case your son shows up."

"Okay, remember to avoid the surveillance cameras when we head out."

...

Outside the residential area, Zhao Shumin surveyed her surroundings with heightened vigilance.

Ever since Li Zhiyan mentioned spotting Shang Shunsheng, she had been feeling uneasy.

Her son Shang Shunsheng and Liu Yan could appear nearby at any time. She knew their eyes were fixed only on her money now.

However, glancing sideways at Li Zhiyan, who was wearing sunglasses and trailing her at a short distance, she felt a bit relieved.

This kid was ridiculously skilled at fighting. Shang Shunsheng was no match for him.

A little further ahead, Shang Shunsheng and Liu Yan soon spotted the lone Zhao Shumin.

"Ha! That old bitch is really out here delivering packages!"

Liu Yan spat venomously. The two had already planned this ambush after stepping out earlier.

Zhao Shumin rarely went out, as she was always busy sewing clothes.

Breaking into her home was out of the question—too many people nearby, and someone might call the police at any moment!

Most importantly, there was always the risk of Li Zhiyan returning unexpectedly!

Having suffered at his hands before, both Shang Shunsheng and Liu Yan had learned their lesson. But here, they thought, nothing could go wrong!

The scorching weather meant few people were out on the streets.

Li Zhiyan was walking on the other side of the road. He had already spotted Shang Shunsheng and Liu Yan but kept his distance to let them believe they were safe enough to make their move.

For someone who treasured the chance to engage in an unrestricted street fight, there was no way Li Zhiyan would reveal himself now.

Sure enough, as soon as they reached a somewhat secluded corner, Shang Shunsheng and Liu Yan emerged.

"You filthy bitch!"

With a wooden stick in hand, Shang Shunsheng’s face was contorted in a twisted expression. Upon spotting Zhao Shumin, the first words out of his mouth were a vile insult.

Even though Zhao Shumin had long stopped caring about how her son viewed her, hearing such hateful words from Shang Shunsheng still made her heart ache.

She had raised Shang Shunsheng through years of backbreaking toil and sacrifices.

To say she wasn’t hurt would have been a lie.

"I’m your mother!"

"Oh, you remember you’re my mother now, huh?!"

"When I asked you for money to get married, you didn’t give it to me!"

"Now hand over 500,000 yuan, and I’ll let bygones be bygones and take care of you in your old age!"

"I know you have the money!"

Shang Shunsheng declared self-righteously. His only aim now was to coerce Zhao Shumin into transferring all her savings so he could marry Liu Yan.

"You old hag! You’ve probably blown all your money pampering that bastard Li Zhiyan, haven’t you?"

"A filthy old whore who can’t even control her own lust! Too desperate to care about her son’s marriage, huh?"

"Shameless slut!"

Normally at odds with Zhao Shumin, Liu Yan seized the opportunity to unleash a torrent of vicious insults after everything that had transpired between them.

"I’ll never give you any money!"

Clenching her fists, Zhao Shumin recalled the vile plans the two had hatched to drain every last penny of her hard-earned savings.

She wasn’t a fool. Giving in would be utterly pointless.

"I swear I’ll beat you to death!"

"My dad didn’t beat this wretched bitch nearly hard enough!"

With that, Shang Shunsheng raised the wooden stick and charged at Zhao Shumin, intending to assault her.

Liu Yan also lunged forward, ready to beat Zhao Shumin and vent her frustrations.

Their ultimate goal, of course, was to force her to surrender her savings!

But before Shang Shunsheng could strike, he was overcome by a sharp pain in his waist.

Li Zhiyan, having recorded everything on his phone, delivered a swift kick straight to Shang Shunsheng!

Caught off guard, Shang Shunsheng was sent flying, landing hard on the ground, writhing in pain.

Liu Yan, who was just about to hit Zhao Shumin, was struck by overwhelming fear when she saw Li Zhiyan. He was here again! And the next thing she greeted was a brutal kick!

Li Zhiyan showed no mercy, despite Liu Yan being a woman. Opportunities to act heroically in defense didn’t come around often.

After knocking them both to the ground, Li Zhiyan rushed forward and delivered a relentless beating to the pair.
