Chapter 0037: Aunt Lai Steps In to Deal with Shang Shunsheng!

Li Zhiyan was truly struggling to keep up.

Every time this lush had a bit too much to drink, she would come out with all sorts of outrageous remarks. Looking at the sheer black-stockinged legs right in front of him, Li Zhiyan told himself he had absolutely no interest in such things! As a man of integrity, he simply could not bring himself to do such a thing.

The key was... they were in a restaurant, and the setting just wasn't appropriate.

"Look at you, all scared! Auntie was just teasing you, little Yan-bao!"

"Why would Auntie reward you with that? I'm not that kind of woman."

"Although you can't compare your Auntie Lai to your Auntie Shen, I can certainly make sure you never go hungry."

Li Zhiyan felt that this drunken woman was finally the Auntie Lai he knew.

"Auntie Lai, someone is coming."

Only then did Lai Feifei lower her black-stockinged legs. She loved teasing Li Zhiyan, the only junior in her social circle, far too much.

"Little Yan-bao, you've had some conflict with Zhao Shumin and her son recently, haven't you?"

Lai Feifei continued sipping her red wine and poured a glass for Li Zhiyan as well. Li Zhiyan hadn't expected her to know about this.

"Auntie Lai, how did you know?"

"I was checking the security footage today and noticed the living room had been cleared out. I looked at the earlier recordings and saw you had a run-in with them. What happened? Tell your auntie."

As Lai Feifei asked, Li Zhiyan recounted the whole story. Upon hearing it, Lai Feifei felt quite indignant.

"Little Yan-bao, you should have told me when you encountered something like this."

"Your temper—are you a bit of a submissive type? But then again, when you're with your Auntie Shen, you're quite the little sub, aren't you? You probably just do whatever she tells you to do."

Li Zhiyan: "..."

Lai Feifei felt that Li Zhiyan was still too young and didn't like to trouble others.

"Actually, that Zhao Shumin has been renting from me for a long time. She’s not a bad person, just too much of a shrew. Her son, though, is just plain trash. Once we finish eating, I’ll go and stand up for you."

"Auntie Lai, you're a lady..."

Lai Feifei couldn't help but stand up and pinch Li Zhiyan’s cheek.

"Oh, little Yan-bao, I just love you to death for being so concerned for me. But don't forget, we live in a society governed by law. Even though I am a woman, I am not in the same social class as them."

"It’s simple enough to stand up for you. With me backing you, they won't dare to bully you anymore."

Li Zhiyan then remembered that this Lai Feifei in front of him was a genuine Shanghai socialite. She was indeed on a different level from a working stiff like him. Among Auntie Shen, Auntie Lai, and Auntie Rong, Li Zhiyan felt that Auntie Lai had the most mysterious background and the deepest connections. After all, it was Auntie Lai who had helped him secure his position at the Changlong Group.

Throughout the rest of the meal, Lai Feifei continued with her provocative talk, constantly mentioning rewards and other suggestive things. Fortunately, there were no other customers nearby, or Li Zhiyan wouldn't have been able to handle it.

...

After leaving, Lai Feifei asked, "Little Yan-bao, have you signed up for your driver's license yet?"

"I have. I've already scheduled the written exam."

"Good. I'll call a designated driver."

Wearing high heels, Lai Feifei called for a driver and headed straight to Li Zhiyan's place. Once they were inside, Li Zhiyan clearly felt the aura of his auntie shift. At this moment, she was truly the formidable Shanghai socialite; Li Zhiyan realized that she didn't lack presence—she had simply been treating him as a pure junior until now.

"Zhao Shumin! Bring out your bastard son and his girlfriend!"

Soon, Zhao Shumin, Shang Shunshang, and Liu Yan emerged from their rooms. At that moment, cold sweat broke out on Shang Shunshang’s forehead. He had always been terrified of people with such immense wealth. He had heard rumors that some people would pay millions just to end a life. Whether true or not, he didn't dare to gamble. Therefore, he was terrified of a wealthy woman like Lai Feifei.

"Who told you to move all the furniture from the living room into your room? Move it back out right now!"

Lai Feifei’s severe and authoritative demeanor made Li Zhiyan wonder if she had suddenly sobered up. Although her tone wasn't particularly vicious, it carried an overwhelming sense of pressure.

"I'll move it right now, right now!"

Shang Shunshang and Liu Yan scrambled to move the items back. Li Zhiyan went to his room and brought a chair for Auntie Lai to sit on. Once Shang Shunshang and Liu Yan had finished, dripping with sweat, and restored the room to its original state, Lai Feifei looked at the visibly anxious Zhao Shumin and said, "You and your son need to move out."

"My house does not welcome you. I will refund your rent."

A warm current flowed through Li Zhiyan's heart. His Auntie Lai was truly standing up for him!

"Landlady, please, I beg you, don't kick us out!"

This was the most convenient location for their work, and nearby housing was almost always at full capacity. It was hard to find a place, and most importantly, Lai Feifei was the type of landlady who hadn't raised the rent in years. Her place was cheaper than most, saving them a significant amount of money each year. Zhao Shumin had always been scrimping and saving for her son's sake, so every extra penny spent pained her. At this moment, she was pleading with Lai Feifei, her eyes filled with tears.

Shang Shunshang never imagined that Li Zhiyan and Lai Feifei had such a relationship. His face was deathly pale. *Why would this Li Zhiyan know such a wealthy landlady?*

Seeing Zhao Shumin on the verge of tears, Lai Feifei couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy. After a moment of thought, she made a concession.

"Fine, you can stay. But your son and his girlfriend are morally bankrupt; they must move out now!"

As she spoke, Lai Feifei terminated the contract with Shang Shunshang on the app—crisp, clean, and without a hint of hesitation. Shang Shunshang and Liu Yan stood there, at a loss. They clearly didn't want to leave. Lai Feifei’s apartment was well-equipped and low-rent; it was highly sought after. There were people looking to rent at any moment, and now that they had been kicked out, finding a new place wouldn't be easy.

Watching the two of them standing motionless, Lai Feifei said with immense pressure, "If you don't move out now, I’ll find people to help you move!"

Both Shang Shunshang and Liu Yan were terrified and hurried inside to pack their things. Before long, the master bedroom was empty, and Zhao Shumin followed them out to help them find a place to stay.

"Auntie Lai, you're so imposing."

"Humph... Little Yan-bao, you're just too soft-hearted. You can't be polite with people like them."

Li Zhiyan couldn't deny it; his temper was indeed very gentle, perhaps due to his upbringing.

"Come, let me see your room."

With that, Lai Feifei pulled Li Zhiyan toward his room. Once inside, she sat down on the messy bed without a hint of hesitation.

"It smells just like little Yan-bao."

Li Zhiyan: "..."

He couldn't help but feel that there was a double meaning in her words.

"Little Yan-bao, you helped me fool Lai Tianming today. I’m going to give you a reward."

Lai Feifei grabbed the edge of her black stockings and began to peel them down.
