Chapter 39 - Chapter 39: A Change of Mindset

Why the fuck does a family need to judge people just by their cash? Is money really that goddamn important? If Li Bin had a choice, he'd pick a family vibe where love and shit matter more than some shiny coins.

But nah, in this fucked‑up era, all people got in their heads are houses, cars, and stacks of money.

Where's the fucking family love at? If you ain't got dough or success, everyone's shitting on you, talking smack. But if you're rolling in it, they're all kissing your ass, trying to leach off you. Makes Li Bin feel zero family warmth—fuck that noise.

Meanwhile, his wife Wen Wan, back when he was broke as hell, didn't give him shit for it, and now that he's raking in millions, she ain't jumping for joy either—just got this worried look plastered on her face.

Watching Shen Han brag nonstop about how awesome her son‑in‑law is, Shen Yun's getting more pissed by the second.

For years, their Du family kept the Wen family under their thumb, but they never saw it coming—today, this deadbeat‑looking son‑in‑law flipped the script and gave the Wen crew some serious street cred.

After dinner, Wen Wan and Wen Ting helped Shen Han clear the table, brought out fruits and snacks, brewed some tea, and sat back down together. Thanks to the bullshit that went down earlier, the vibe between the two families got awkward as hell.

Back in the day, those three Du clowns would've already started ripping into Li Bin like it was their job, acting all high and mighty, lecturing him to get a real gig. But today, sitting there, they couldn't find jack to talk about. Shit got weird quick.

"Huh? Where's little Wen Ting at? How come we ain't seen her today?" Maybe to break the awkward silence, Shen Yun piped up, curious as fuck.

Right then, Li Bin remembered his little sis‑in‑law Wen Ting was already on summer break—how the hell hadn't they seen her all day, and she still wasn't home?

"That girl, she said it's summer and she's off to some friend hangout, no need to sweat it. Kids these days are wild—dunno if she'll make it into Tsinghua or Peking University this year…" Shen Han waved it off and laughed.

"Oh, heh, we're not sticking around today, got some stuff to handle at home, so we're out." Shen Yun and Du Jianguo traded looks, stood up, and said bye with fake‑ass smiles.

"Leaving already? Hang out more, you don't come by often, let's chat proper! Yu Yinyan wanted to grill your brother‑in‑law about writing!" Shen Han, who hardly ever got to flex like this, wasn't ready to let her sis and crew bounce so fast, trying to keep them there with hype.

"Nah, Aunt, Yu Yinyan and I got date plans, don't wanna bug you guys longer." Du Bin, who'd been quiet all dinner with a pissed‑off face, had been itching to ditch for ages—when he heard Shen Han trying to stall, he shut it down fast.

"No biggie, no biggie, if you got shit to do, go. We'll swing by your place another day. If Yu Yinyan wants to write, she can hit me up anytime." Li Bin was dying for this family to fuck off already.

"Brother‑in‑law, can I add you on WeChat? If I got questions later, I can bug you there." Yu Yinyan, with her innocent angel vibe, looked at Li Bin all starry‑eyed, holding her phone.

"Hell yeah," Li Bin said. That's exactly what he was banking on—he whipped out his phone with a grin and added Yu Yinyan on WeChat.

Seeing the family roll out with sour faces and pile into their car, Wen Wan couldn't hold back a laugh: "Brother‑in‑law, you were fucking epic today! Finally gave our family some breathing room! Let's see if they keep flexing now! I'm dying laughing at their dumbass faces."

"Son, you crushed it! Yesterday you said you'd buy me a Mercedes‑Benz, I thought you were screwing around, but turns out you've been stacking cash on the low.

Your dad wanted you in his company, but his yearly pay doesn't even touch one month of your novel money! Why didn't you spill yesterday? You've been feeling like shit, huh?"

Shen Han was eyeballing her son‑in‑law with more love and pride every second, grabbing his hand and grinning at him.

"I ain't made that much, didn't wanna brag, wanted to surprise you with a new ride, but Uncle and Aunt's bullshit was too much—they came at me, Mom, and Wen Wan, so I had to drop it. I can shoot straight with them, but my father‑in‑law's my father‑in‑law, couldn't throw down with him."

Li Bin shot Shen Han a real smile back.

"Good kid! You got a big heart! Wen Wan scoring a husband like you is her lucky break, and your father‑in‑law and me getting a son‑in‑law like you is some eight‑lifetime blessing shit."

Seeing Li Bin's thoughtful, filial vibe, Shen Han cried happy tears, feeling pure fucking joy in her chest.

With Li Bin's words, not only did his bond with his mother‑in‑law skyrocket, but he even snagged 2 extra points with his sister‑in‑law. When shit's going good, everything feels dope as hell.

Ever since he got the system, Li Bin's noticed his whole attitude's flipped. With a million in prize money and cash in hand now, he doesn't just feel better—he's cockier, and his talk game's leveled up big time.
