it’s really a dowry, but...it doesn't belong to me.”After saying that, she turned and left.That day, Su Chengwu said it was a gift for Yang Chen. She was puzzled because when she received the heavy gi...Chapter 111

At the same time, Yang Chen had already sent Qin Xi and Xiaoxiao back to the Qin family courtyard.

As soon as the family of three stepped in, they smelled a waft of delicious food.

"Xiao Xi, why are you guys back so late I've had dinner ready for a while now. Go wash your hands quickly, and I'll heat up the dishes first." Zhou Y Cuì was very attentive and brought over the dishes to heat them up.

After the morning's lesson, Zhou Yucun was apprehensive all day, fearing that her two daughters would give her not a single penny in the future.

Before her daughter got off work, she had personally cooked a whole table of dishes.

“We’ve already eaten outside.” Qin Xi replied coldly, then went upstairs.

“Xiao Xi, I've done so much, what will you do if you don't eat this You can just eat a little less!” Zhou Yucui said hurriedly.

Ke Qinxi simply ignored her plans and pulled Xiaoxiao back to the room.

Soon, Qin Yi also went home. Just like before, every time she got home, she would happily shout: "Mom, I'm back!"

But today, she was silent. Zhou Yucun called her to eat, but she didn't even bother to speak, directly returning to her room.

Zhou Y Cu i's face was a mixture of anger and uncertainty. She was clearly furious, but the thought of the money her two daughters sent her every month forced her to suppress her rage.

Yang Chen walked out after washing his hands, looked at the table full of dishes, and said with a smile, "Mom, your cooking is still the best. Just smelling it makes me hungry!"

Yang Chen said he went to the kitchen. When he came out carrying a large bowl of rice, he found that all the dishes on the table were gone. Zhou Yucui was just putting the last dish into the trash can.

Seeing this, Yang Chen's mouth twitched.

He wasn't hungry, he just wanted to take this opportunity to ease the tension between him and his mother-in-law. But he didn't expect his kindness to be mistaken for a donkey liver and lungs.

"Mom, why did you pour out all the vegetables" Yang Chen asked with a smile.

Zhou Yucui glared fiercely at Yang Chen: "The food I cook, even if it's fed to a dog, I wouldn't give it to you."

Having said that, she snatched the rice bowl from Yang Chen's hand, poured the rice into the trash can, and turned to leave.

A trace of anger rose in Yang Chen's heart, Zhou Yucun was simply insulting him.

But when he thought of Qin Xi and Xiaoxiao, he had to quell his anger again.

"I'm afraid that no matter how much I do, she will never be able to get rid of the contempt she has for me deep down."

Yang Chen gave a self-deprecating smile, then turned and went upstairs.

"Looks like your mother has given you another face-saving lesson, huh" Qin Xi asked.

Yang Chen shook his head and smiled, "No!"

"And no, your face clearly shows otherwise." Qin Xibai gave Yang Chen a look.

Yang Chen just smiled and didn't explain.

Just then, Qin Xi's phone suddenly rang.

The moment she answered, a familiar voice came through: “Xiao Xi, come to the No-Sleep City quickly and save your father! If you don’t come soon, they’ll cripple him.”

"Dad, what's wrong" Qin Xi instantly changed her expression and anxiously asked.

“You must be Qin Dayong’s daughter, right Your father owes the No-Sleep City five million, and another customer one million. In half an hour, if I don't see you bring the money to redeem him, just wait for me to collect your father's body!” Suddenly, another strange voice came over.

After finishing the sentence, the person on the other end hung up.

"What happened" Seeing Qin Xi's dazed expression, I hurriedly asked.

Qin Xihong's eyes were red as she spoke, "My father is in the Night City. He owes six million yuan. The other party said that if we don't pay within half an hour, they will kill my father!"

Yang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. Although he didn't know what the Never-Ending City was, the name itself suggested it was a place of entertainment.

"Something's fishy about this. How could my dad possibly owe so much money all of a sudden But where am I going to find five million dollars to bail him out" Qin Xi was close to tears, her face etched with panic.

Yang Chen asked, "Dad, has anything been unusual these past few days"

"Lately, he either doesn't come home or comes home drunk."look! This is a picture of our happy family that Xiaoxiao drew. This is Daddy, this is Mommy, and Xiaoxiao is in the middle." Even though she only saw Daddy on video, Xiaoxiao was so excited that she...
