"What, you're Li Qianfan's aunt?"
Ma Rongna was stunned again.
"Yes, I am Li Qianfan's aunt."
Luo Huayin nodded heavily and said, "Li Qianfan and I actually grew up together, wearing our split pants. Since I was little, I've bullied him and forced him to call me master. If there's something I can't handle, I can ask him for help. If you don't believe me, I can call him right now to prove it."
To prove she was Li Qianfan's aunt, so that this ignorant woman Ma Rongna would know there was nothing in this world she couldn't do!
Luo Huayin took out her phone and started calling Li Qianfan in front of Ma Rongna.
After the call was connected, she turned on the speakerphone so Ma Rongna could hear.
"Li Qianfan, do you know who I am?"
Luo Huayin switched back to that sharp, shrill voice.
"Luo Huayin."
Li Qianfan, on the other end of the phone, had no idea why Luo Huayin was calling him. He just asked, "Why are you calling me?"
"I just want to tell you that this Young Hall Master is now in Modu."
Luo Huayin glanced at Ma Rongna and said sinisterly, "Can you guess why I'm here in Modu?"
Li Qianfan replied, "For me?"
"Heh heh, indeed."
Luo Huayin sneered, "Remember, if I need your help, I'll call you. If you dare to refuse, I'll strip Su Nanyin naked and find a hundred big men for her."
Without waiting for Li Qianfan to say anything, Luo Huayin hung up and turned off her phone.
The act was over, and she couldn't be bothered by Li Qianfan anymore.
"Now, do you believe I'm Li Qianfan's aunt?"
Luo Huayin looked at the dumbfounded Ma Rongna and said calmly, "I only need to make one call, and he'll obediently do as I say. If he doesn't, I'll really send Su Nanyin to a hundred men to play with. Hmph, this Young Hall Master always keeps my word, I always follow through."
Ma Rongna believed her.
She truly believed her!
If—
Luo Huayin wasn't Li Qianfan's aunt, if she hadn't bullied him since childhood!
Who in this world would dare speak to the Young Master of Longxu in such a tone?
What's more, Su Nanyin, who was feared by the seven prominent families, didn't seem to be taken seriously by Luo Huayin either.
"She is indeed a righteous messenger sent by heaven to pity me and help me escape from suffering!"
Ma Rongna was so excited that her knees buckled instinctively.
With a thud, she heavily knelt at Luo Huayin's feet, hugged her legs, and burst into tears.
Her crying was like a child lost for three months finally finding their mother.
The fear and grievances from before were all released at this moment.
Truly feeling that she had been elevated to the status of Ma Rongna's savior, Luo Huayin was also moved.
Alas.
Poor child.
If I didn't come to save her, should I rely on that scoundrel?
Luo Huayin looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and felt her nose sting with emotion from her own self-pity.
After crying for a full three minutes, Ma Rongna finally stopped crying, stood up, stepped back, and bowed respectfully to Luo Huayin, expressing her highest gratitude to her savior.
"Alright, let's find a place to eat first."
Luo Huayin turned and walked towards the sports car. "When we eat, you'll explain everything to me in detail. Then, this, this auntie will think of a way to completely pull you out of this pit of fire."
Ma Rongna quickly agreed and followed Luo Huayin into the sports car.
Vroom—
The sports car left a trail of afterimages under the streetlights and disappeared into the distance.
Ten o'clock at night.
The car slowly stopped in front of a courtyard house at the eastern end of Jinling Road.
"Auntie, this is the home Grandpa prepared for me, to wait for that strange man."
During dinner, Ma Rongna didn't know how to address Luo Huayin, so she decided to call her Auntie, just like Li Qianfan.
After all, Ma Rongna was a weak woman who couldn't even tie a chicken, and she was not qualified to be a disciple of her invincible Auntie.
Ma Rongna had no objection to this.
As long as Luo Huayin could save her from her suffering, let alone call her Auntie, she wouldn't hesitate to call her birth mother!
What's more.
Being able to become this Auntie's "nephew" like the Young Master of Longxu was definitely a significant elevation of status for Ma Rongna.
"Okay, open the door."
Luo Huayin glanced at the closed courtyard gate and said, "Nana, just follow my plan, and I guarantee you'll be reunited with your husband and have your son back in your arms. But you must also remember the two conditions I told you."
One.
Ma Rongna must not reveal to anyone, including Li Qianfan and the Ma family, that this auntie is by her side.
Two.
Ma Rongna must unconditionally follow the plan set by this auntie; furthermore, she must not ask this auntie to help the Ma family resolve the crisis from Li Qianfan; after all, the Ma family is courting death, and this auntie will only save Ma Rongna, not disrupt her eldest nephew's affairs.
"Auntie, don't worry. I will absolutely not violate the two conditions you mentioned."
Ma Rongna quickly made a formal commitment again before opening the door and getting out of the car.
There was no one in the courtyard.
It was dark.
However, it was very clean.
Ma Benyong wanted to turn this courtyard into a haven for Ye Qingfan to play with Ma Rongna, so of course, it had to be cleaned thoroughly, with all facilities being luxurious and high-end.
For the sake of his reputation, Ma Benyong would not allow anyone to know about this matter, and therefore would not arrange for any housekeeping services here.
"Mmm, I like this place."
Luo Huayin took a cursory look around and sat down on the expensive rosewood furniture.
Ma Rongna began to pour her tea.
After serving the fragrant tea, Ma Rongna took out a black card and handed it to Luo Huayin with both hands.
Luo Huayin's eyes immediately lit up!
Gulp.
She quietly swallowed and said calmly, "Nana, what do you mean by this?"
"Auntie."
Ma Rongna said sincerely, "You are the only hope for me, Xinkang, and our baby. You are our savior! Although I know that true recluses like you view money as dirt. But apart from expressing my gratitude with worldly wealth, I can't think of any other way."
I view money as dirt?
Who said that?
Step forward and take a few steps!
See if I don't break their legs—
The little fox roared in her heart, but outwardly she smiled noncommittally and asked casually, "How much money is in here?"
"Not much."
Ma Rongna replied.
Luo Huayin's expression immediately turned cold.
Even though she knew that helping Ma Rongna was a righteous act and she shouldn't accept a reward.
She still hoped that Ma Rongna's sincerity in thanking her would be genuine!
To say "not much"—
Isn't this insulting this Young Hall Master, this Young Cult Master, and this Auntie's prestige!?
Ma Rongna added, "There are only three hundred million yuan in here."
"Heh heh, only three, three what?"
Luo Huayin was stunned.
Her mind went blank for a moment.
"Only three hundred million yuan."
Ma Rongna told the truth, "The money in here is compensation 'bestowed' by Old Master Zhou for Xinkang and my divorce, as well as the reward from the Ma family for sacrificing myself to save the Ma family. Heh heh, reward."
When Ma Rongna thought of the word "reward," her heart ached again.
Oh my god.
Three hundred million yuan is not much?
Are people in Modu all this rich!?
Luo Huayin bit her lip hard to suppress the urge to ask Ma Rongna, "Do you know that this Auntie once considered sleeping with that old scoundrel to scam tens of millions from him?"
"Auntie, this money is simply too much for me."
Ma Rongna hesitated, then whispered, "It's too dirty. This is, in a way, the reward for the Ma family selling my innocence. Thinking about it makes me want to vomit. Auntie, if you don't want it, I'll donate all this money! I'd rather starve than use this money."
Donate it?
Are you crazy!
Luo Huayin's eyes widened, and she really wanted to kick Ma Rongna to death.
At the same time, she quickly analyzed in her heart, "Does this count as ill-gotten gains?"
No!
Money stolen, robbed, or scammed is ill-gotten gains.
The three hundred million yuan that Ma Rongna took out was willingly given to this auntie.
This auntie neither stole, nor robbed, nor scammed.
The key is that if this auntie refused, Ma Rongna would donate it!
Then this auntie could only reluctantly—
"Nana, I'll keep this money for you for now."
It was only with extreme reluctance that Luo Huayin accepted the card, her expression becoming even calmer. The subsequent topics of conversation had nothing to do with money anymore.
This was in line with the "money philosophy" of a true recluse—
"Alright, it's getting late."
Luo Huayin glanced at the time and said to Ma Rongna, "You can go and rest. Remember, without my permission, you are not allowed to go into the master bedroom. When the man who wants to play with you arrives, this auntie has at least 888 ways to make him disappear without a trace. And there will be no way to trace it back to you."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Ma Rongna really wanted to kneel and thank her.
Seeing her filial piety, and to reassure her further, Luo Huayin decided to give her another reassurance.
She gave Li Qianfan's contact information to Ma Rongna.
And slowly said, "If I go out, or am busy with something, and you encounter danger, call Li Qianfan for help. He will definitely appear before you as quickly as possible. If he doesn't, the next time I see him, I'll break his legs."
Ma Rongna was overjoyed!
This auntie might not be very reliable.
But Li Qianfan, who had pushed the Ma family to a corner, was definitely the most reliable person in the world.
"Besides Auntie protecting me, there's also the Young Master of Longxu. With these two here, who can harm me? Xinkang, baby. Wait for me patiently. Soon, the three of us will be reunited."
In the secondary bedroom, Ma Rongna murmured to herself and gradually fell asleep.
Daybreak came.
Li Qianfan, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes.
Something was wiping his mouth, startling him awake.
He had just opened his eyes—
Then he saw a pair of snow-white, delicate feet quickly retracting from his sight.
