Hong Kong movies: Do you love your sister-in-law or gold?

Chapter 14 The Bet of the Silver Flute Award!

Liu Jianming looked at Yan Ting in surprise. Although he had also imagined the situation of "Auntie pounces on him suddenly", it seemed that Yan Ting's personality would not allow her to do so quickly!

But Yan Ting playfully winked at him. It seemed that she had been dragged here by her aunt to serve as a shield.

But Auntie is quite good at playing games. Doesn’t she know that there is a price to pay for playing the shield game?
Zhong Liwen didn't believe it and said, "Mom, I thought you could just find a shield, but I didn't expect it would be so outrageous to find a handsome guy who is about my age."

"If you want a shield, why not get back together with Dad!"

Yan Ting hated hearing the word "reconciliation" the most. She insisted, "You just said that as long as Mommy finds a boyfriend and has someone to take care of her, you will agree to study abroad."

Zhong Liwen pointed at Liu Jianming unconvincedly and said, "He takes care of you? Can he?"

Liu Jianming casually slapped Zhong Liwen's finger away and said with a smile: "Mama's boy, I'll give your mother face and bear with you pointing your finger at me this time."

"But it's true that I can't take care of your mother. I still need your mother to take care of me~"

Zhong Liwen was about to get angry and fight with Liu Jianming after hearing his first sentence, but with his second sentence, he felt that he was ruining his mother's reputation, so he turned around and looked at his mother with pride.

Unexpectedly, Liu Jianming's firm voice came: "Sister Ting will take care of me in life, but I will protect her."

"No matter which society attacks me, I can handle it. Can you?"

Liu Jianming's confidence and dominance even stunned Zhong Liwen, who always dominated in front of children of the same age.

Zhong Liwen said stubbornly, "Why? Because you haven't even passed the police cadet exam yet?"

Liu Jianming knew Zhong Liwen's character. This kid would rather be provoked than advised.

"Of course not a cadet. Every time I choose a profession, I want to be the most powerful and impressive one."

"The day you apply to the police academy, you must have the ambition to eradicate all crime and become the top cop!"

Yan Ting was dazzled by these words.

His son Zhong Liwen had said similar "big words" to Yan Ting before, but their temperaments were very different.

Seeing that Zhong Liwen's momentum was suppressed, Liu Jianming asked Yan Ting: "Sister Ting, what were you and Liwen arguing about in the beginning?"

Yan Ting explained: "After graduating from Form 5 at Liwen High School, you will have completed the university foundation course and can apply to study abroad at a university in the UK or Australia."

"You want to send Liwen abroad?"

Seeing Yan Ting nod, Liu Jianming guessed what she was thinking.

After divorcing her ex-husband, her two children were her most important things. Deep down, she must have been reluctant to part with them.

However, she had no confidence in paying off the high-interest loans offered by Dongxingba.

Now with another idiot from Dongxing trying to seize her company's largest decoration business, she feels that her family is in even greater danger.

If her daughter was not in middle school and too young to be sent abroad, she would rather send all her children abroad and face the loan sharks alone.

As a result, Zhong Liwen offered to study abroad in exchange for reconciliation with his parents, and said that he would not go abroad unless his mother had a man to take care of her.

At this point in the argument, Liu Jianming happened to enter the store.

Yan Ting dared to send her son abroad and face the debt collection from the society alone. Subconsciously, of course, it was because she relied on Liu Jianming.

At this time, Liu Jianming appeared. As if it was fate, Yan Ting blurted out that Liu Jianming was her boyfriend, so her son could go abroad without worry.

As soon as she said this, Yan Ting, who had given birth to a child as a naive teenager and had no romantic experience, couldn't help but blush and her heart beat fast. She couldn't believe it. Even if she was looking for a "shield", the handsome Ming, who was more than ten years younger than her, with handsome features and a charming temperament, was a completely different world from her!
Zhong Liwen, a mama's boy, saw his mother's shy look and couldn't help but say, "I can't go abroad either. I don't want another person my age to call me stepdad."

A few nights ago, Zhong Liwen became even more determined after learning that Liu Jianming had applied to be a police cadet.

He challenged Liu Jianming, "You're just applying to be a cadet police officer, and you're so arrogant! I've decided. I'm going to apply to the police academy, too."

"And I'll just sign up for this one. I'll crush you starting from the cadet level. From now on, I'll be promoted faster than you and always be your superior!"

Yan Ting had never heard that her son wanted to take the police exam before. She instinctively felt it was dangerous and was about to stop him.

Liu Jianming stopped Yan Ting and said, "Taking the police exam is not a hasty decision. After 27 weeks of training, anyone who can pass it is a hero."

Zhong Liwen then said, "I've checked. During the police academy training, the first place overall winner in each event in each class will receive the Silver Flute Award."

"Do you dare to bet with me that winning the Silver Whistle Award at the Police Academy is the first step to crushing you?"

"If you win the Silver Flute Award, I won't ask how you and my mom will develop in the future."

"If I win the Silver Flute Award, you are not allowed to appear in front of my mother!"

Liu Jianming sneered, "So you're a mama's boy, actually using your mother as a bet?"

"Don't worry, in the 27 weeks at the police academy, besides the instructors, I will also train you well!"

Zhong Liwen stubbornly said, "That sounds nice, but from now on I'll ask you to call me 'sir' every day. Do you have the nerve to show up in front of my mom?"

Having said that, Zhong Liwen ignored his aunt's obstruction and went straight to the police station to register with his identity information.

In the 90s, district-level police stations were allowed to accept preliminary registrations of student police officers.

After Zhong Liwen left, Yan Ting said with some dissatisfaction: "Why did you stop me just now? I wanted to persuade Liwen to study abroad!"

Liu Jianming smiled and said, "What's your real reason for letting Liwen study abroad? Are you worried that he'll be harassed by the gang and harmed?"

"Have you ever thought about how he, an Asian who has never left his mother since childhood, would be thrown into the arms of a group of foreigners in Imperial England. Are you really at ease?"

"The Imperial English University dormitory has noodles available. He can hide from the Hong Kong Island clubs. Don't let him join the Imperial English club and bring back a foreign girl who calls him mom!"

Thinking of that scene, Yan Ting and her sister felt a chill.

"If you want to protect Liwen, you can do it in Hong Kong Island. As long as Liwen enters the police academy, will the East Star Society dare to harm him directly?"

"Besides, the semi-military training at the police academy can help Liwen grow from a mama's boy to a tough guy."

"Nothing can protect him better than giving him the skills to protect himself."

After listening to Liu Jianming's analysis, Yan Ting immediately felt that letting Zhong Liwen enter the police academy was a better choice than sending him abroad.

Yan Ting's sister praised her at this time: "I heard about you a few days ago, catching a pickpocket and dealing with a renovation worker. I thought you were just brave and aggressive."

"I didn't expect you to react so quickly and be so thoughtful. You're with your older but simple-minded sister. It really proves that youth is not a distance!"

Yan Ting smiled and pushed her sister: "Don't make fun of young people. I was just looking for an excuse to protect Liwen's study abroad."

Liu Jianming laughed and said, "I rushed over from Hong Kong Island for several hours to take care of business, just to change the curtains at home."

"And you dragged me here as a shield. How am I going to settle this?"
