Chương 5: Aunt

Under the almost respectful gaze of the community security guards, Lin Shuxuan stepped out of the luxury car.

Bai Shasha took the leather shopping bag from the driver.

The chiffon dress reveals beautiful shoulders and back, outlining soft curves, while the shopping bag is elegantly carried on the arm, simple yet exquisite.

Like a sophisticated urban woman after shopping at a mall.

"They've prepared gifts for your uncle and aunt, let's go♪"

"If I accept these things, will I marry you?"... Lin Shuxuan hesitated; Bai Shasha was the best at taking advantage of others' misfortunes. Back then, he had only borrowed a pen, and from then on, he lost the right to go to and from school alone every day.

Fortunately, he resolved most of the issues himself today, so it's likely that the rich girl won't do anything further out of line.

Walking into the community with Bai Shasha attracted a lot of attention from the neighbors.

An old man gave him a thumbs up, which made Bai Shasha smile broadly.

The neighborhood is full of long-time residents, and the news of him bringing a girl home will probably spread throughout the neighborhood by tomorrow.

Lin Shuxuan was somewhat troubled, thinking that it might be difficult to find a romantic partner in the future.

......

at home.

Aunt Li Ping sat at the dining table, rubbing her hair with one hand; a few silver strands stood out conspicuously among her black hair. Li Ping caught a glimpse of them out of the corner of her eye, and simply plucked them out along with the black hair.

Several worn-out wallets and bank cards were scattered haphazardly on the table, along with a pink piggy bank, which contained Chen Yi's allowance.

"Xiaoyi, take your allowance back. Our family isn't at that point yet."

Aunt Li Ping pushed the "pig" back.

"It's okay, Mom. I don't usually need this money."

Looking at her sensible daughter, the aunt felt a little relieved, but when she thought of Lin Shuxuan, her heart was immediately filled with vexation.

"Look at your nephew, what kind of things he's been doing!"

"We need to hire a lawyer now, how are we going to pay those tens of thousands of yuan in legal fees?"

My aunt paused, then let out a sigh of relief.

"What was the security guard's attitude when he was arrested this morning?"

My uncle scratched his head with his thick, muscular arms.

"Their attitude wasn't very good... I didn't see clearly, and Shuxuan just went with them."

His gaze swept over the bank cards and wallet.

"Is this enough money?"

What do you think?

His aunt rolled her eyes at him, bit her lip, and said:

"I'll go borrow some more from those other girls."

Upon hearing this, the uncle shooed Chen Yi back to her room before continuing:

"Don't you hate asking for favors the most?"

"What can we do? It's not the first time anyway."

As she spoke, her face flushed again.

"You good-for-nothing, and you keep spouting that 'thirty years east of the river' nonsense to annoy me!"

The doorbell rang, interrupting their conversation.

The aunt and uncle exchanged glances, worried that the police would come to their door again.

The two were relieved when a clear voice came from outside the door.

Lin Shuxuan pushed open the door and saw a table with wallets and bank cards on it, and couldn't help but joke.

"What's wrong, Uncle? Did they find out your secret stash of money?"

"You little brat, you even dare to joke about your uncle."

Chen Li stood up, making a move to strike, but then he saw the pretty girl following behind Lin Shuxuan.

"Ah, you brought your classmate back."

Hello, Uncle and Aunt.

Bai Shasha greeted everyone warmly.

"I'll stay with Xiaoyi for a bit." She skillfully turned into Chen Yi's room, and then her voice came through the door.

"What an adorable face! Sweetie, let big sister pinch it~".

Lin Shuxuan pulled out a chair and sat down.

"I'm back. The police have taken care of things; it was all a misunderstanding."

The heavy atmosphere eased a little, but quickly froze again.

Chen Li whispered in Lin Shuxuan's ear.

"Your aunt is furious, so say something nice today..."

With a loud bang, my aunt raised her hand and slammed it hard on the table.

"Misunderstand?"

"You're a high school student who doesn't study and spends your days writing random stuff online, and that's a misunderstanding?"

She must have learned of Lin Shuxuan's charges from the security guards; her voice trembled slightly.

"We spent so much money sending you to a private high school, not so you could mess around all day."

"Tell me yourself, isn't it because you didn't study any humanities subjects that you're thinking of switching to military science?"

My foolish aunt... Lin Shuxuan had long expected his aunt to think this way, but luckily his royalties were enough to give her a good slap in the face.

He wasn't angry at all because of his aunt's strictness. After all, she had raised him for more than ten years and was like Old Feng to him.

Lin Shuxuan calmly took out his phone and showed the balance screen.

But all I saw was a pitiful string of numbers.

What happened... Where's my royalties...? Lin Shuxuan felt a pang in his heart.

Then look at the aunt across the street; It's like a demon descending from heaven; it's truly a deity of the mortal realm.

"No, that's not true."

A soft voice came through.

"What Brother Shuxuan wrote was for our group's essay contest, and it will earn him extra points in the final exam."

After those words, my aunt's arrogance diminished by four-tenths.

"Oh... I see."

"And he also bought gifts for the two of them."

Bai Shasha's bright eyes flickered slightly as she gestured for Lin Shuxuan to bring over the shopping bags.

He took the gifts out of the bag.

A beautifully crafted wallet with a strong vintage feel, and a bottle of hair oil that looks expensive just from the bottle.

Lin Shuxuan was impressed; even if he were to choose, he couldn't come up with a more suitable gift.

"Shuxuan asked me to help him pick out a gift the other day, and he even asked me not to let his aunt and uncle know. He's really thoughtful!"

......

After appeasing his aunt, Lin Shuxuan escorted Bai Shasha downstairs.

Her uncle wanted her to stay for dinner, but as the young lady of the Baiqi Group, she had many things to do.

Thank you for today.

Lin Shuxuan expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

"The Public Security Bureau? They didn't do much."

He shook his head.

"It's a gift for my family. I haven't seen them smile so happily in a long time."

"but..."

Lin Shuxuan pondered for a moment and said:

"Why are you so familiar with their preferences?"

He knew his aunt was recently troubled by her gray hair, and he also knew his uncle felt embarrassed carrying his worn-out wallet; he wanted to help but didn't have enough money.

But why would Bai Shasha know these things? He shouldn't have mentioned such a thing.

"Because someone has been watching you ♪"

"Really?"

"Really! For example, if you usually start watching movies at 11 o'clock, your dominant hand is your left hand, and your preferred hand position is..."

Lin Shuxuan covered the other person's mouth.

"Alright, alright, stop talking."

This joking admission actually made it impossible for people to question or doubt him, he thought about it.

"Actually, I usually use my right hand."

"Eh~ I guessed wrong. Next time, I'll have someone use their right hand to help..."

Lin Shuxuan quickly returned the large Buddha statue to the luxury car parked at the entrance of the residential area.

When he got home, his uncle patted his shoulder with his kind hand.

"Not bad, kid, you've got the style of your uncle when he was young."

Uncle, why don't you look at Aunt's expression before you speak? Lin Shuxuan glanced at his aunt.

"That girl seems complicated; I don't really like her."

My aunt said casually, then glanced at the hair oil.

"Never mind, you decide for yourself."

Her gaze shifted to Lin Shuxuan's bruised hands, which were bound and restrained.

"Anyway, it's good that you're back. What do you want for lunch?"

"Grandma stir-frying rice cakes."

"I'll beat you to death, you believe me?!"
