The Rejuvenation System of Hehuan: Starting with a Young Woman in an Apartment

Upon hearing Zhao Fang's words, Chen Mo paused instantly, then looked at her worried expression, frowned, and asked, "What's bothering you so much?"

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Fang continued to say to Chen Mo, "Uncle Chen, you shouldn't have given my mother-in-law money to help me, and so much money at that."

"You're going to get yourself into big trouble by doing this."

Chen Mo was taken aback when he heard Zhao Fang's words. Then, he smiled to himself. He knew what Zhao Fang was worried about.

However, he had to pretend not to understand, so that Zhao Fang wouldn't see through him, otherwise she would know his purpose.

Chen Mo feigned confusion and asked Zhao Fang, "What big trouble is it?"

Seeing that Chen Mo still didn't understand, Zhao Fang suddenly became a little anxious, and then said to Chen Mo, "Uncle Chen, can't you see? My mother-in-law is too obsessed with money."

"If you're just standing up for me, at most we'll just have an argument."

"She left happily with the money, and she didn't even fight back when I cursed her, which is what I'm most worried about."

"Once you give her the first time, there will likely be a second, a third, or even a fourth time..."

Hearing Zhao Fang's words, Chen Mo was slightly surprised. It seemed that Zhao Fang was not so confused after all.

Zhao Fang was right. Based on the personality of Zhao Fang's mother-in-law, Zhang Li, it wasn't just that she might do it, but that she would definitely do it.

An old woman like Zhang Li, who is obsessed with money, and who can endure Chen Mo's sarcasm and insults without fighting back or arguing, all for the sake of money.

Then they'd do anything for money.

Now, Chen Mo is willing to give 1 yuan directly to prevent Zhao Fang from being beaten and scolded by Zhang Lishi.

What if Zhang Li does something even worse to Zhao Fang next time?

Will Chen Mo offer even more?

Zhang Lishi must have thought this in her heart.

Originally, Zhang Li was worried that Chen Mo and Zhao Fang might have some kind of ambiguous relationship, and that Zhao Fang might be abducted by Chen Mo.

But now Chen Mo is so generous, casually taking out money that Zhang Lishi could earn in half a year.

Zhang Lishi will definitely have other ideas and want to squeeze more money out of Chen Mo.

They might even come over and harass you every day.

However, Chen Mo wasn't stupid; he had already thought of this.

He did it on purpose.

Although he has money, he's not stupid. If he has money, he can just throw it away and play with it. Why would he give it to an old woman like her?

He certainly had other motives.

Because this 1 yuan was the bait he deliberately used.

It now seems that Zhao Fang's mother-in-law, Zhang Li, would be so shameless for 1 yuan.

That means Zhang Li is capable of doing even more shameless things for money to achieve Chen Mo's goals.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo's eyes flickered slightly.

He wasn't afraid of Zhao Fang's mother-in-law, Zhang Li, asking for money; what he was afraid of was that Zhao Fang's mother-in-law wasn't greedy enough for money.

Chen Mo certainly couldn't tell Zhao Fang this directly.

Hearing Zhao Fang say this, Chen Mo pretended to be magnanimous, then waved his hand dismissively and said, "No, no, I've already given him so much money, he wouldn't want more, would he?"

Watching Chen Mo's meticulous steps, one can only wonder just how greedy her mother-in-law was.

Zhao Fang became even more anxious, and said to Chen Mo in a fit of anger, even stamping her feet in frustration, "Yes, yes, Uncle Chen, why don't you believe me?"

"My mother-in-law is definitely capable of doing something like that."

"You shouldn't have taken such a big risk for me."

"If she comes to you for money again, no matter how much she beats or scolds me, you can't give her any more. She'll never be satisfied."

Upon hearing Zhao Fang's words, Chen Mo's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed that Zhao Fang was merely blindly filial, but was still kind at heart.

If that's the case, then while achieving their own goals, it would be worthwhile to lend a helping hand as well.

After all, for many people, seeing Chen Mo as a lifeline would likely make them feel like they've been wronged.

After all, Chen Mo was willing to spend money, and he could avoid being beaten and scolded by his mother-in-law. Who wouldn't want that?

Zhao Fang's willingness to be beaten and scolded by her mother-in-law rather than let Chen Mo waste money shows that she is merely blindly filial.

However, it's too early to say anything now, since his plan is still underway.

We'll have to wait and see how Zhao Fang performs next.

However, in order to advance his plan, he naturally couldn't say too much directly to Zhao Fang, and instead continued to act.

The more anxious Zhao Fang is now, the more he wants her.

His goal was to lower Zhao Fang's guard and make her accept him more deeply.

Then when he wins over Zhao Fang's mother-in-law, he can directly accept Zhao Fang.

Otherwise, even if he manages to win over Zhao Fang's mother-in-law, Zhao Fang might not agree, and all his efforts would be in vain.

He managed to win over Zhao Fang, but not her mother-in-law, and Zhao Fang couldn't bear the shackles of traditional morality.

Therefore, neither can be dispensed with.

Faced with Zhao Fang's anxious advice, Chen Mo merely pretended to frown slightly as if he were thinking, then smiled slightly and said to Zhao Fang, "If your mother-in-law wants it, then let her have it."

"Money is just an external thing. I'm already this old, there's no use in keeping more money."

"If it can save you from beatings and scoldings, then it's worth it."

"Besides, didn't I already say? We're friends."

Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, the anxious Zhao Fang was instantly stunned; the word "friend" struck her heart once again.

He hadn't expected that even after explaining the serious consequences to Chen Mo, Chen Mo would still just smile nonchalantly.

They even felt that the money was well spent.

Chen Mo believed that spending this money could save Zhao Fang from her suffering.

Next time, Zhao Fang's mother-in-law might be even more outrageous, asking Chen Mo for 2, 3, or even 4 yuan.

She had already explained everything so clearly to Chen Mo, but Chen Mo still valued her so much.

Zhao Fang even felt that even if Chen Mo had other motives and came for her, it far exceeded her own value.

Simply put, Zhao Fang felt that she wasn't worth that much money at all.

That means Chen Mo didn't come for her, but genuinely considered her a friend.

In an instant, Zhao Fang's eyes reddened.

This unprecedented warmth felt so real to Zhao Fang that she almost cried.

No one can know what kind of nightmarish days Zhao Fang experienced during the many years she served as Zhang Li's daughter-in-law.

In Zhang Li's eyes, she was not only treated no better than a daughter-in-law, but even worse than a stranger. No, to put it more cruelly, she was even worse than a slave.

Having worked away from home for so many years, all those who approached Zhao Fang were drawn to her beauty.

But Chen Mo was clearly not like that; this really affected her friend.

After all, who would waste so much money on a widow whose husband has died, especially knowing that she has a particularly difficult mother-in-law?

In an instant, Zhao Fang's heart started pounding, and her gaze towards Chen Mo began to change. She even felt that Chen Mo was exuding an incredibly attractive aura.

Shared experiences, shared misfortunes, and even the willingness to spend so much money on him without any ulterior motives.

Zhao Fang felt a sense of being somewhat captivated.

Her gaze towards Chen Mo softened considerably. She clasped her hands to her chest and said in a trembling voice, "Uncle Chen, I, I..."

Seeing Zhao Fang's sudden outburst of charm, even Chen Mo couldn't help but gasp. Wow…

not good!

Chen Mo felt he was starting to struggle.
