77 Mom's Reques

"Whhuh?" Zhou Lei was too absentminded to react in time.

Smas.h.!.+

The sound reached Zhou Lei's ears. It snapped him out of his daze.

Zhou Lei looked downwards and saw that the Piggy Crate had shattered into little pieces. What was inside was exposed to Zhou Lei's eyes.

He widened them as he looked.

"Th- this...! It's... $1000?" Zhou Lei stared at the amount in shock. He had never seen a hundred dollar bill before, much less 10 of them bundled up!

Even though his debt was 10 times bigger than this amount, he could not help but be happy as he held the 10 bills in his hands.

"Hahaha, I'm rich now!" Zhou Lei looked at the money in his hands with greed.

He immediately spent another lottery ticket, feeling lucky. He put his hand in his pocket to put the money there. However, it disappeared.

"What...?" Zhou Lei felt the feeling of the paper in his hands disappear as he quickly retracted his hand.

As he wondered where the h.e.l.l the money went, Zhou Lei was notified by System.

"Host, money was automatically deposited into virtual bank. Total amount is now $1000. Would you like to pay the loan?"

"Oh, so that's where it went... No, I will find some other way to pay the loan." Zhou Lei refused System's offer. He already knew how to earn the money to pay, as the novel he published was moderately popular, and he had more than the needed number of words to qualify for a contract. It was only a matter of time until they contacted him.

As he wondered, the roulette stopped spinning, landing at the Shop unlock category.

"Ooh, a Shop unlock?" Zhou Lei turned his attention towards the prize.

"Unlocked category: Athletics." System notified him with its emotionless voice.

"Athletics? Like sports and stuff?" Zhou Lei inquired.

System did not respond this time.

"Huh? Well, whatever." Zhou Lei brushed it off as he headed towards the shop. He wanted to see what kind of stuff would be sold there. After all, he had a thousand dollars now.

The shop greeted him with the sight of his ma.s.sive debt in bold, red text. Zhou Lei creased his eyebrows as he tried to ignore it, going to the newly unlocked category immediately.

"Hmm, what is being sold here anyway?"

As he entered the category, the first things he saw were books of different sports.

"Oh, a Basketball book? A Football book, and some other stuff?" Zhou Lei looked at the covers of the books and recognized some of the sports.

"These would be useful... if I had any interest in sports! Unfortunately, I don't." Zhou Lei disregarded this prize as not that good.

He went back to the lottery and spent another lottery ticket.

However, since the author had already forgotten how many he had in the first place, and is too lazy to reread his own story, he decided that this would be the last of Zhou Lei's tickets.

"Aw, I'm all out." Zhou Lei felt it was a pity. After all, he wanted to get more prizes from System, considering that he had only gotten one good thing from it in all his four attempts.

As he waited for the result from the lottery, his mom had knocked on the door to the computer room.

"Lei? Are you there?" She had spoken calmly.

"Yes, come in, mom." Zhou Lei instinctively replied. After all, his mind was occupied with the matter of what prize he would get from the lottery.

Zhou Xiang walked inside the computer room. She had already decided on the way that she would do this.

Yes, she had set her mind to it!

No more backing away!

"Lei, I... I have something to ask of you."

"Sure, mom." He was still waiting for the result of the lottery.

"It's like this..."

.....

Zhou Jiahao was walking home from another hard day at work. He let out a sigh of relief as the sight of his home approached his sight. Finally, I can see it!

His legs were truly tired this time around, as the boss' secretary was on paid vacation with her parents. He was instead appointed to be the temporary replacement before she came back.

Only now did he realize how hard it was to be a secretary for this kind of control freak boss. He had not only berated him for doing very minor errors, but he also commanded him like he was an errand boy.

Of course, to escape the kid of life he was in right now, he needed a promotion, and he just withstood the scoldings and held in his urge to shout back.

He yawned as he opened his front door. He threw down his briefcase somewhere beside the sofa as he lied down and closed his eyes.

Suddenly, he heard his wife's voice.

"Lei, I... I have something to ask of you."

Hmm? Xiangxiang asking Lei for help? What could it be?

Zhou Zhenya suddenly screamed, distracting him from hearing his wife's conversation.

"Ah, Little Ya...!" Zhou Jiahao stood up from the sofa. However, he did not rush over to his daughter's room. Instead, he waited for the continuation of his wife and his son's conversation.

"Ah, okay." He heard his son answer like his mother's request was nothing.

As his son's voice reached his ears, a shrill scream came from the same room.

"Aaahhhh! Yes! Yes!" Zhou Xiang suddenly exclaimed.

Zhou Jiahao's eyebrows creased. What in the h.e.l.l is she doing in there?

Afterwards, he heard his son, "Shhh! Mom, your voice is too loud!"

"I can't help it. I feel good inside." Zhou Xiang retorted her son.

At this point, Zhou Jiahao couldn't hold back his anger anymore. It couldn't be that he was being cuckolded by his own son now, could it?

"It's coming..." He heard his son utter quietly. However, it could be heard by Zhou Jiahao's strong ears.

"Hmm, what's coming?" Zhou Xiang asked.

"N- nothing!" Zhou Lei immediately stayed quiet after.

"Don't tell me...!" Zhou Xian, said, sounding like she came to a conclusion as well.

Suddenly, Zhou Jiahao kicked down the door, screaming three words. "Don't! Come! Inside!"

He had an extremely angry expression on his face. Why was his wife cheating on him? Could it be that he could not satisfy her anymore?

There was also the fact that she was doing it with her own son! What an illicit relations.h.i.+p!

However, what greeted him was the sight of his son using the computer and his wife standing behind him.

They both looked at him suspiciously.

Zhou Xiang was the first to break the silence. "...Honey? What do you mean by 'don't come inside'?"

However, her voice did not register into Zhou Jiahao's mind as he was staring at the two with an incredulous look on his face. "This... but... you... I heard..."

"What is it, dad?" Zhou Lei couldn't take his dad's annoying stuttering anymore.

"It's, uhh... it's nothing." As he said that, he walked out of the room, looking more exhausted than before.

"Are you okay?" Seeing her husband, Zhou Xiang could not help but be worried.

Hearing his wife's concerned voice, he felt even more ashamed. 'How could I ever doubt her...?'
