Chapter 25

"Actually, in ancient Chinese, 'mother-in-law' and 'mother' have the same meaning. When I call you 'wife,' it's like calling you 'mom.'" Li Yi said with a smile.

"That's a good point. From now on, when you go home, call your mom 'wife' and see how she twists your ear!" Lin Ruxue shot Li Yi a glare, then glanced at her watch. It was almost noon, and she had to put on her makeup.

"Oh, the crow's feet around my eyes are showing." Looking at her face that was losing its youth, Lin Ruxue sighed.

Not long ago, she was a beauty who captivated countless men. During her school days, handsome guys would send her flowers every day, but she didn't find any of them appealing. But in the blink of an eye, everything changed. She became a super-aging spinster, no longer outstanding or beautiful, surrounded by criticism and disdain, leaving her utterly helpless.

"Auntie, don't sigh. Your crow's feet didn't just appear today; they've been there for years..."

"Can't you just shut up?" Lin Ruxue roared.

"Don't glare, don't glare. From now on, I'll pretend to be your husband. You can't act like an elder to me anymore. You need to be a bit more demure, or people might think I'm henpecked!" Li Yi gently comforted Lin Ruxue.

Lin Ruxue pouted and took out a hundred yuan from the drawer, handing it to Li Yi. "Here, take it for pocket money, and don't mess up!"

Ever since she was young, Lin Ruxue liked giving Li Yi pocket money. Although her salary was never high, she was never stingy with Li Yi.

How could Li Yi accept Lin Ruxue's money again? He gently pushed the hundred yuan back. "You're my wife now, I should be giving you money."

Then he imitated Lin Ruxue, taking out a hundred yuan from his pocket. "Here, take it for pocket money!"

"Ha!" Lin Ruxue couldn't help but laugh. "Just giving your wife a hundred yuan for pocket money? Are you being stingy?"

"Alright, name your price, and I'll write you a check!" Li Yi said in a serious tone.

"Cheeky!" Lin Ruxue flicked Li Yi's forehead and then giggled. "You know what? The way we act, people might really believe we're a couple!"

"See, you know your husband is good to you, right?" Li Yi leaned in close to Lin Ruxue.

"Are you getting too cocky now?" Lin Ruxue jabbed Li Yi with her finger.

After finishing her makeup, Lin Ruxue helped Li Yi comb his hair. The two of them, along with the cat, went downstairs to attend the class reunion.

In recent years, Lin Ruxue's life had been getting worse, and of course, she didn't have a car. Just as she was about to take her nephew to the bus stop, she heard Li Yi say, "Wife, why don't we take my car?"

"You have a car? Did you ride a bicycle from home?" Lin Ruxue asked in surprise.

"Look what you're saying. Your husband, a successful person in society, would ride a bicycle? That's my car over there!" Li Yi pointed to the BMW he had driven.

Lin Ruxue couldn't help but frown. "I'm telling you, don't brag in front of my classmates, it's embarrassing!"

"How am I bragging!" Li Yi sighed, then took out his car keys and pressed a button. The car beeped, and the doors opened automatically.

"Hey? Hey? Hey?" Lin Ruxue screamed in surprise.

"Wife, please get in the car!" Li Yi made a gentlemanly gesture.

Lin Ruxue sat in the BMW, feeling as if she were in a dream. How could this little rascal have a car? It was too strange!

"This car is so beautiful, how did you get it?"

"This kind of junk car? In two months, I'll buy you a Rolls-Royce!" Li Yi said nonchalantly.

"Wow, wow, wow, getting cocky again!" Lin Ruxue looked at her nephew helplessly.

There weren't many people in the world who would call a BMW a junk car!

She didn't know that in Li Yi's eyes, Du Ler's BMW was not just junk but worse than junk. In fact, there was no car on Earth suitable for Li Yi; even a Rolls-Royce was junk to him.

"Auntie, why don't you work with me?" Li Yi had another idea about Lin Ruxue.

"Work with you? What, skip class? Fight? Or not do homework?" Lin Ruxue asked curiously.

"Ah, Auntie, those are old stories, don't bring them up. Now, my mom and I are starting a company. I'll be the chairman, and she'll be the president. If you come, you can be the general manager. Anyway, my mom is thinking about her title and doesn't want to quit her job at the hospital!"

"Ha ha, general manager? You're really ambitious. Is there a salary?" Lin Ruxue asked with a laugh.

She didn't believe that her nephew, who was still in school, could run a company, let alone a profitable one.

Li Yi smiled. "We're family now, talking about salary is so俗 (vulgar), isn't it?"

Lin Ruxue raised an eyebrow and said loudly, "I'm all about money now. If you want to poach me, no deal without a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan!"

"Alright, I'll give you 100,000 to 200,000 yuan a month. How about that?" Li Yi smiled.

"100,000?" Lin Ruxue chuckled. "Of course, if you can be that successful and give Auntie 100,000 yuan a month, Auntie will let you support her!"

"Hey, Auntie, you're worth that much now? I remember the CEO of XX Company wanted to support you for that price, but you refused!"

"Ha ha, others can't, but you're my husband!" Lin Ruxue laughed like a silver bell.

"Alright, 100,000 a month, no backing out!"

"Alright, no backing out, but pay first... Hey, wait, do you have a driver's license?"

Seeing Li Yi start the car, Lin Ruxue was a bit panicked. Driving wasn't a joke, and Li Yi was so young, could he handle it?

"My driver's license is right here!" Li Yi pointed to the front of the car.

Lin Ruxue immediately picked up the driver's license and found that the photo was of Li Yi, but the name was not Li Yi; it read "Du Ler."

"Is this your driver's license?"

"As long as the photo matches, it's fine!" Li Yi chuckled.

He had just returned yesterday and didn't have time to get a driver's license. He simply modified Du Ler's license to show his own photo. After all, the police wouldn't know his name when checking the license.

Lin Ruxue was speechless but then saw Miko suddenly jump onto the steering wheel, pointing at the seatbelt and meowing loudly.

"Alright, alright, I'll put on the seatbelt!" Li Yi nodded and fastened his seatbelt. Miko immediately crawled into Li Yi's arms, her head passing through the seatbelt, securing herself tightly.

At first, Miko didn't think about safety when riding in Li Yi's car, but she soon discovered that his driving was far beyond human standards. He would start in high gear and brake suddenly, making the car feel like a roller coaster. Miko had hit the window several times before realizing the importance of the seatbelt.

"Hey, this cat knows how to put on a seatbelt?" Lin Ruxue was amazed by Miko's actions.

"Meow, meow!" Miko meowed proudly.

Sister, I'm much more capable than you think. Putting on a seatbelt is nothing!

"That's so cute, I must bring the Persian cat next door to breed with it!" Lin Ruxue said excitedly.

"Meow!" Miko fell from heaven to hell, covering her face with her paws.

Why were all these relatives so crazy? One was a soup-making maniac, and now there was a breeding maniac. Wasn't she allowed to live?

However, she didn't dare to run away. The last time she was attacked by a group of male cats left her with severe psychological trauma. Only by staying with Li Yi did she feel a bit safer.
