324 Too Intoxicated (2/2)
Ding Zhenyun paused for a second and glanced back, then walked off without further hesitation.
Xiao Luo took out his phone and made a call. ”Aunt, I've met Zhenyun.”
”Xiao Luo, how's Zhenyun? Did any bad guy mess with him, is he hurt?” Xiao Jianying was frantic when she received the call and was eager to find out about her son's wellbeing.
”Nope, he's fine. He's a little lean, but he absolutely refuses to go back for now.”
”Why? He doesn't even listen to you now?”
”He's gone too deep into this MLM mindset, he won't listen to any of us now, so we can only wait until he realizes it himself,” Xiao Luo replied.
”How can he be so dumb, he would rather believe in strangers than his own kin, why is he so dumb...”
Xiao Jianying started to cry uncontrollably, her only son had been brainwashed by an MLM organization to this state, and it broke her heart.
Xiao Luo couldn't find the words to comfort her, but he said, ”Aunt, for him to realize what MLM is doing to him, you must not send him any money regardless of what he tells you. He'll leave the MLM organization eventually once he cannot sustain himself. Don't worry too much, when that time comes, he'll definitely come to me.”
”Thank you, Xiao Luo, thank you so much!” Xiao Jianying felt a sense of relief and clung on hopefully to Xiao Luo's words.

When Xiao Luo got back to Crescent Bay Hotel, he threw himself on the bed and massaged his temples to ease his stress.
Within minutes, he received a message from Su Li.
”Are you back?”
”Yes.”
”Come here.”
Xiao Luo had to get up again. But he wasn't complaining, he was delighted with the luxurious apartment arranged for him, and besides, he was genuinely happy with his role as Su Xiaobei's surrogate father. On top of that, he did not need to do anything other than play ”daddy.” So, it wasn't difficult for him to decline the monthly remuneration of two hundred thousand. He didn't desperately need money, and although Su Li was a superstar, her cash was hard-earned too.
He freshened up and left for Su Li's apartment.
He saw an unfamiliar woman with Su Li when he entered the apartment.
She was tall and decked in a long black dress that complemented her full, voluptuous body. She wore a light eyeshadow and had a pair of alluring eyes. Her long wavy hair, highlighted with streaks of red, tumbled in tresses framing a charming face with snow-white skin.
The slit in her dress exposed her long, slender legs adorned in silk sheer stockings and a pair of crystal-colored heels. She was the manifestation of class and grace.
