Reborn in Russia as a Big Shot

Chapter 108 The New Godfather Li Xiang

As soon as Li Xiang entered the house, Sister Han called him to the kitchen.

Having raised this tigress in the family for so many years, I'm used to it and even secretly pleased.

"Go ahead and get scolded. You won't have time for me when you're being yelled at," Old Li said, turning on the TV to kill time.

kitchen.

Sister Han is washing vegetables.

"What are we having for dinner?" Li Xiang asked with a grin.

Sister Han: "These are all your favorite foods."

"Stir-fried garlic sprouts with pork? Scrambled eggs with tomatoes? Stewed green beans? You've only ever had these few dishes your whole life, you've eaten them since you were a kid. When I was in junior high, people would ask me why I ate the same thing every day." Li Xiang could roughly tell what to make just by looking at what Han Jie had bought.

"You're so picky, why doesn't your dad say anything?" Sister Han glanced at her son. "Close the door, I have something to ask you."

"What's wrong?" Li Xiang obediently went to close the door.

Sister Han turned off the tap, wiped her hands on her apron, turned to Li Xiang, and asked with a serious expression, "Have you been keeping another mistress on the side, and even have a child with her?"

"Han Jiayin told you? How come there's a traitor in this case?"

"Don't worry about who told me, okay?" Sister Han punched her son a few times, scolding him, "Why are you so troublesome? Who taught you all this? You're just like your parents!"

Li Xiang said with a grin, "I'll take responsibility for my own mistakes. Don't try to pin the blame on me."

"You're asking for trouble! You know what Natasha's family does, right? Her uncle even came to our house." Sister Han pinched her son's arm hard. "And your dad's still drinking with them like an idiot! I'm afraid they'll suddenly pull out a gun halfway through the meal!"

Li Xiang joked, "Are you worried about me, or are you afraid of dying?"

"Nonsense, of course I'm afraid of dying. Your father and I have finally had a few good years, and now we're going to risk our lives because of you." Sister Han pointed at her son and said, "You caused this mess, so you have to deal with it yourself. If you can't handle it well, we'll cut ties. From now on, your father and I will be Natasha's parents, and you'll be an outsider."

Li Xiang couldn't help but chuckle and said, "My father-in-law has been released."

"Your blood pressure is a little high." Sister Han rubbed her forehead to calm herself down, and continued, "Don't tell me about the things you did outside. I won't ask. Your father and I know nothing about it."

Li Xiang half-jokingly said, "My father-in-law is on medical parole and can't leave Russia. I guess he sent Mike over to visit us and reconnect with us."

"Their family has now switched to a legitimate business. Times are changing, and no one can live in the past forever; we have to look forward."

"What are you doing?" Sister Han asked.

"Oil reseller."

Sister Han was taken aback for a moment and said, "So extravagant?"

Li Xiang changed the subject, saying, "Let's talk about something serious. Did you know that Old Li's factory has been evading taxes? He's even giving money to people."

"I know."

"You know you won't do anything about it?"

"Your father and I had an agreement: I would make the decisions about family matters, but I wouldn't interfere in business affairs. He was afraid that if something happened to him one day, I would be dragged down with him, and there would be no one to take care of you. It's been like this all these years, it hasn't changed, we're used to it."

"I mentioned it to him once, suggesting he sell the garment factory and retire, but he refused," Li Xiang said maliciously. "You've been dealing with him for so many years, do you think he'll rebel?"

"He wants to save some more money." Sister Han gave Li Xiang a look but didn't say anything explicitly.

Li Xiang asked, "How much money is enough for retirement? Name your figure."

Sister Han couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're so arrogant now too."

Li Xiang took out his phone and showed his mother a photo of himself and Sun Zhengyi. "Do you know who this is? Sun Zhengyi of SoftBank Group. You know Taobao, right? That's SoftBank's investment. Look at who your son is dealing with now. Just name your price."

"Keep it yourself. One debt collector has dragged your father and me down for life. You already have three. Let's wait until after the New Year. Your father and I will have a good talk." Sister Han continued cooking and instructed, "Go to the hotel and pick up Natasha's uncle. We'll have dinner together tonight. He's a guest from afar, so don't let him have any complaints."

hotel.

Mike had sparse hair and a full beard, making him look very old.

"You've already run away, why did you come to China?" Li Xiang didn't hide his displeasure.

Mike replied, "Andrei sent me to find you."

"Was that a performance? Did you two brothers treat Peter and me like fools? Or did Peter know that I was the only fool?" Li Xiang accused, feigning ignorance while feigning indignation.

"Peter doesn't know, he still doesn't know. That day you two left me at the hospital in a hurry, and the doctor had just finished bandaging my wounds when Andrei's men arrested me."

Mike further stated, "Andrei gave me a chance to live, and I couldn't resist, so I accepted his terms."

Mike reluctantly pulled a small notebook from his pocket and handed it to Li Xiang. "I have seven children, my wife, and my mistress. All their information is in this notebook."

"I betrayed Andrei for them, and now I have to use them as a bargaining chip to get forgiveness? Isn't that a bit ridiculous?"

"Our whole family's lives are in your hands," Andrei said. "As long as I am willing to pledge my allegiance to you and swear never to return to Russia, the past is the past."

Li Xiang looked worried. "Mike, I'll tell you everything. You have a criminal record, I don't trust you. What do you mean by giving me your wife and kids' information? Are they hostages? We're relatives, what can I do to them?"

"If anything goes wrong, Andrei will take care of it for you." Mike shoved the notebook into Li Xiang's hand. "You saved my life that day, after all."

"If you hadn't stopped him, that idiot Peter wouldn't have held back. Blame God for not killing me with that gun."

.

"Andrei said, 'You will take good care of my children and give them a bright future, at least so they don't end up like me.'"

"Is this an act of loyalty or a debt collection?" Li Xiang asked, frowning.

Mike grinned and said, "Are you really not clear, or are you pretending? The Godfather has unlimited power, but he also has unlimited obligations. It's an exchange, a contract."

Li Xiang was speechless. "I was just telling my mom that your family has turned to legitimate business, and now look what's happened, I've become a member of the mafia myself."

Mike sighed, "Andre helped you set up your own business so that he could gradually distance himself from you. He's a man with no future. You're different from Natasha. He doesn't want to drag you down with him."

Li Xiang opened the small notebook, which was essentially tantamount to accepting Mike's allegiance. "Why do your seven children all have different surnames?"

Mike replied with a wry smile, "The condition I placed on betraying Andrei was that he let me and my family leave Russia. Of course, I have to get them new identities and hide them as far away as possible."

Li Xiang said, "I don't need you for the time being."

"I know Andrei better than you do. Although I don't know exactly what he's up to, I have a feeling you'll need me soon," Mike sighed. "Hopefully that day won't come too soon."

In fact, Li Xiang and Andrei also had a contract. Li Xiang promised Andrei that he would take care of his future youngest son.
