"Dad! Mom! Let's leave now!"

These days, his aunt's actions had already disappointed Shi Lei to the utmost, and now, her treatment of his friends pushed Shi Lei to the edge of his tolerance!

Even if he had to beg under a bridge, he would not live this dependent life any longer!

"Lei Lei, what are you doing..."

Seeing Shi Lei like this, his mother approached him with a bitter face.

"You know our family's situation, your aunt being willing to take us in is already merciful enough..."

Shi Lei's father had just recently recovered, could they really move out and sleep on the streets now?

"Humph, this family does have someone with backbone, Shi Lei, if you want to leave, then leave! But once you leave, don't come back!"

At that moment, Shi Lei's aunt mocked coldly from the side. Shi Lei roared, almost losing his temper and slapping her!

But seeing his helpless parents nearby, he clenched his fists tightly and ultimately, reluctantly, let them go.

The pressure life had put on him was as heavy as a mountain, his only choice was to bow his spine...

"Big brother, why don't you go ahead and leave first. Tomorrow, I'll come find you..."

Shi Lei looked over at Xu Fan expressionlessly, as if soulless, and Xia Xiaodie, seeing this, tugged at Xu Fan's sleeve, hoping he could do something for Shi Lei at this time.

To Xia Xiaodie's surprise, Xu Fan just silently patted Shi Lei's shoulder and left the room without saying a word, taking her with him.

"Xu Fan! You're being too cold-hearted!"

Xia Xiaodie was following Xu Fan, complaining unhappily.

Shi Lei was Xu Fan's brother. Even if Xu Fan couldn't help him financially, he shouldn't just leave without saying a word!

That was just too heartless!

"Hey! Why are you ignoring me?"

Facing Xia Xiaodie's reprimand, Xu Fan didn't reply but just hurried forward, leaving Xia Xiaodie completely confused.

What on earth was he planning to do now?

"Whew, finally caught up..."

After leaving the compound, Xu Fan hurried the entire way, taking roughly ten minutes to reach his destination.

Looking at the bank, which was about to close, Xu Fan thought that if he had wasted even a moment talking to Xia Xiaodie, he probably would've missed it.

"Sir! We have already closed! You can't enter now!"

Under Xia Xiaodie's puzzled gaze, Xu Fan rushed into the bank, followed by several security guards chasing after him.

They were just waiting to get off work and didn't want Xu Fan to delay them.

"Sir, please stop! If you keep making trouble, we'll have to call the police and arrest you!"

Several guards chased him down to the counter, looking quite displeased already.

Xu Fan glanced at them coolly and asked, "Are you done?"

"If you're done, shut it, thanks."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Fan pulled out a Black Gold Card from his pocket and tossed it to the female bank employee at the counter.

"Could you withdraw ten million for me, thank you."

As soon as he spoke, the entire bank hall fell silent, the air seeming to freeze at that moment.

The few gaping guards looked petrified, staring at the casually thrown Black Gold Card on the desk.

This Black Gold Card was sufficient proof that the young man in front of them wasn't bluffing, being able to deposit so much cash in the bank made him a VIP among VIPs.

"I'm sorry, so sorry..."

Thinking of their impatient attitudes just moments ago, the guards apologised awkwardly and quickly slipped away.

After a moment of stunned silence, the bank employee came to her senses, bowed deeply to Xu Fan, and said, "Respected VIP, please wait a moment, I will go withdraw the money for you now."

The bank employee hurriedly left, and at the side, Xia Xiaodie could no longer hold back, asking in surprise.

"Xu Fan! Where did you get all that money from!"

Xia Xiaodie blinked her eyes, thinking she had never heard of this guy being the son of some prominent family, and here he was, withdrawing so much money without a word? What was he up to?

Xu Fan turned to Xia Xiaodie and chuckled, "Oh, this was supposed to be the dowry I planned to use to marry you, but now it's got to be used to help a brother."

"So, little sister Xiaodie, if you want to marry me, you'll have to figure out the dowry yourself."

"Go to hell! Who wants to marry you!"

Xu Fan was always teasing girls, and Xia Xiaodie, teased by him, blushed, pouting her small mouth and giving Xu Fan a sideways glance.

"Humph, if you want to marry this lady, ten million is not enough."

But soon, this girl quirking her lips, started to give Xu Fan a hard time.

Her words were true, ten million wasn't really a lot for the Xia family.

"Alright, Xu Fan, stop your jesting, your money has been withdrawn."

Just a few exchanges later, Xia Xiaodie took the initiative to change the topic; Xu Fan nodded and looked towards the approaching bank employee.

He didn't see that at this moment, a trace of melancholy flashed in Xia Xiaodie's eyes.

"Sir, here is ten million, do you need to check it?"

The bank employee placed a briefcase on the table, ready to let Xu Fan open it for inspection.

"No need, this little amount of money doesn't need checking."

Xu Fan casually shook his head, picked up the briefcase, and started walking towards the bank's main door with Xia Xiaodie.

"Xu Fan, why are you withdrawing so much money? What are you up to?"

Once they were out of the bank, Xia Xiaodie couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.

Xu Fan's mouth tilted into a sly smile and he mysteriously chuckled, "Hehe, you'll find out soon."

"..."

Xia Xiaodie, seeing Xu Fan acting mysterious, felt it tedious and pursed her lips in disinterest.

But soon, she realized that Xu Fan was heading in the direction of Shi Lei's aunt's neighborhood.

So, he had withdrawn the money for Shi Lei?

Xia Xiaodie bit her lip and thought, her face turning red once more, it seemed that she had misunderstood him earlier…

But still, what was he doing withdrawing ten million now...

Xia Xiaodie secretly pondered in her heart, thinking perhaps Xu Fan was planning to give the ten million to Shi Lei's aunt...

If that were the case, that would really boost someone's ego.

Seeing Xu Fan remain silent, Xia Xiaodie simply didn't bother to ask further, silently following beside him, ready to see how Xu Fan would handle this.

Knock knock knock.

"Knock knock, hurry up! I'm coming!"

Soon, the two of them returned to Shi Lei's aunt's house, and after knocking on the door, they heard Shi Lei's aunt's displeased murmur.

"Why is it you two again! Not welcome, get out!"

Upon opening the door and seeing Xu Fan and Xia Xiaodie standing at the doorway, Shi Lei's aunt's face immediately darkened.

She glared at them both and was about to close the door to send them away.

But before she could shut the door, Xu Fan stretched out his hand, directly blocking her.

"Thanks."

Shi Lei's aunt was just a housewife, nowhere near as strong as Xu Fan; Xu Fan gently pushed, and the door swung open.

At that moment, he slightly smiled and led Xia Xiaodie back into the house.
