Chapter 84: A Birthday Surprise for the Mother-in-law?
Returning home, Li Bin looked at his mother-in-law, wife, and two sisters-in-law waiting for him and suddenly felt a sense of warmth.
"Brother-in-law, why are you only just back? Where did you run off to this afternoon?" As soon as Li Bin entered, Wen Lan asked him with a playful smile.
"Where else could I be? You guys didn't take me out to eat, so I went to grab a bite by myself. I happened to run into an old friend, so we had a cup of tea and a chat." Li Bin guiltily made up an excuse on the spot. He stole a glance at Wen Wan and Wen Ting. Seeing that his wife showed no unusual reaction and that the family didn't seem to notice anything amiss, he finally let his guard down.
"Xiao Bin, come sit. Mom will get you some rice." Shen Han stood up with a smile, personally going to serve Li Bin his food. Li Bin, flattered, hurriedly followed her.
"Mom, I can get it myself..." Li Bin felt like he was dreaming.
This was the first time his mother-in-law had ever been this nice to him.
In the past, it was a good day if his mother-in-law didn't just give him the cold shoulder or curse him for being a loser.
Today, his mother-in-law was personally serving him rice!
This was unprecedented. It seemed his performance yesterday had earned him a great deal of approval from his mother-in-law.
A man just has to have money!
With money, everyone indulges you and tries to curry favor with you.
Without money, everyone looks down on you, even your own mother-in-law and mother!
"Brother-in-law, tomorrow is Mom's birthday. What gift are you planning to give her?" Wen Lan reminded Li Bin with a smile.
"Yeah, Li Bin. Dad is away on a business trip and won't be back, so we're leaving Mom's birthday celebration to you," Wen Wan also said to Li Bin with a smile.
"Yes, ma'am! Two young mistresses! I'll make sure Mom's birthday is perfectly arranged!"
Only then did Li Bin remember that tomorrow was his mother-in-law Shen Han's birthday. At this time last year, his father-in-law had taken his mother-in-law and the rest of the family out to a hotel for a big meal and cake, deliberately leaving him behind at home. Li Bin had been furious at the time but didn't dare to show his anger.
This year, he had to win back some pride and get rid of that grudge!!
"Mom, tomorrow is your birthday, right? Take the day off. I want to take you all somewhere, to give you a surprise. Your day tomorrow is in my hands!" Li Bin took the bowl of rice from his mother-in-law, leaned in, and whispered to Shen Han with a mysterious smile.
Li Bin now had over 1.8 million yuan in his Alipay account.
This was more than enough to buy a Mercedes-Benz E300L sedan!
He could buy two and still have money left over!
Li Bin planned to go and get the Mercedes for his mother-in-law tomorrow.
Compared to his sister-in-law Wen Lan, Li Bin's confidence was soaring after having conquered a married woman. He felt that conquering his lonely mother-in-law would be much simpler!
Moreover, once he had his mother-in-law and started an affair with her, he could rely on training and controlling her. He could have Shen Han help him train his two sisters-in-law and his own wife, Wen Wan.
Even if he slipped up, having his mother-in-law to cover for him would be a good thing.
"You little rascal! What is it? Why... so mysterious?" Shen Han asked, her face flushing slightly as she gave her son-in-law Li Bin a coy glance. Her heart started to beat uncontrollably faster, and a blush immediately spread across her cheeks.
Li Bin's words made Shen Han's mind wander to inappropriate thoughts, but this only made her more curious about his plans for tomorrow.
"It's a secret! If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise, would it? Just listen to me. Take the day off tomorrow, and I'll take you to a great place first thing in the morning! I guarantee you'll be surprised." Li Bin whispered softly, mysteriously leaning close to Shen Han's ear.
A puff of hot air on Shen Han's sensitive earlobe immediately made her face turn crimson and her whole body tingle.
"You little rascal! Mom knows... Mom will listen to you, okay? Honestly..."
Shen Han couldn't help but feel a mix of shame and fear at the ambiguous feeling her son-in-law gave her, but she still couldn't resist agreeing.
Now, her family's attitude towards him had become close and friendly. Only her self-righteous father-in-law and her youngest sister, Wen Ting, who had always been very wary of him, were still somewhat unfriendly.
The father-in-law was one thing; he was rarely home anyway, so Li Bin didn't care whether he liked him or not.
But his youngest sister, Wen Ting, was always at home. Not only did she watch him like a hawk, but she also constantly hindered his attempts to get close to Wen Lan, trying every possible way to undermine his position in the family.
Whenever Wen Ting stared at him with her sharp, beautiful eyes, Li Bin always felt as if he were standing naked before her, his thoughts completely laid bare.
It kept Li Bin constantly on edge.
This feeling made him very nervous, and he was even a little afraid of his youngest sister-in-law, Wen Ting.
After the family finished dinner, Li Bin went straight upstairs to start preparing for Shen Han's birthday tomorrow.
First, a meal and a cake were essential.
Now that he had money, Li Bin was no longer stingy. He directly called a nearby five-star hotel to book a table.
Then he ordered a large cake.
After taking care of all that, LiBin opened his phone and started browsing for information on Mercedes-Benz on a car-shopping app.
