Chapter 19: The Happy Life of Live-in Son-in-Law Xiao Mo

In the very end, Shen Mo told Liu Yue plainly that he could do without children and would wholeheartedly support her career.

When Shen Mo said this, his face was as resolute as when taking the oath for a driver's license.

Liu Yue was completely speechless. Hubby, to eat this soft rice, you've paid quite a price.

Wen Ya, on the other hand, burst out laughing.

To put Shen Mo's mind at ease and truly show she wouldn't force him to work, Liu Yue immediately called Liu Xinhua, saying she wouldn't return to Liu's and only wanted to start her own business.

It infuriated Liu Xinhua, who shouted: "Your mother beats me, you anger me, in the future you'll still inherit my estate, and now you want me to conquer the world for you — there's no such bullying in this world."

He was clearly shouting loudly, yet somehow it sounded aggrieved.

Liu Yue replied calmly: "Because you didn't die during the years I was a Vegetative, and shamelessly saved me."

With one sentence, Liu Xinhua instantly lost power and could only sheepishly hang up the phone and get back to work.

As for casually playing around, retaliating against Liu Yue, or squandering Liu's — Liu Xinhua hadn't even thought of such things.

After all, he still needed Liu's to support him in his old age and see him off at the end. Only by holding the giant Liu's in his hands could his mistresses two, three, four, five, six, and illegitimate children 12345678910 sincerely call him 'Daddy.'

After Liu Yue decided to start her own media company, she stayed at Hao Ya Media to learn, while Shen Mo tagged along like a shadow, attending to her.

Wen Ya finally couldn't stand watching Shen Mo's boring life any longer, so she had someone give him a selfie stick, a high-pixel phone, and the privilege of calling a photographer anytime, letting Shen Mo record his own life and run Liu Yue's short-video account.

Wen Ya had even thought of the video name: The Happy Life of Live-in Son-in-Law Xiao Mo.

Shen Mo refused — he only wanted to freeload, serve his wife, and take advantage, not work.

Liu Yue said quietly: "For every ten thousand new followers, I'll give you ten thousand yuan."

Shen Mo got excited on the spot.

【A grand prize of tens of millions awaits me.】

Shen Mo first slapped himself across the face, then posted a video.

"My wife said: for every new follower, for every new comment, she slaps me once — in the end, you can witness it live."

Once the video was posted, countless people followed and commented.

Whether it's true or not, they just want to actually give Shen Mo a slap.

Still, everyone thought it was fake.

But they all thought, what if it's real?

In just one short week, he gathered ten million followers, stunning even Liu Yue. Kid, you've got something.

Should I let hubby sacrifice himself a little for these ten million followers? This thought circled in Liu Yue's mind for a long time, and then Liu Yue carried it out.

The livestream opened, and in an instant hundreds of thousands of viewers flooded in.

Liu Yue first solemnly explained Shen Mo's "deceptive" operation, then publicly transferred twenty million yuan to Shen Mo.

"For the sake of ten million followers, for the sake of my career, I've decided to let hubby make a little sacrifice."

"Today, livestream hubby getting hit one hundred strikes."

"Feel free to like, but no need to send gifts."

That night, two new trending topics appeared: one was "Shen Mo deceives everyone for money, bags twenty million."

The other was "Kind female CEO beats husband one hundred strikes for fans."

After this, Liu Yue's account gained several hundred more followers.

The next day, Shen Mo posted a video called "Life After Being Hit One Hundred Strikes."

The video showed Shen Mo lying on the bed, with Liu Yue feeding him, applying medicine, and giving him a kiss before heading to work.

The fans felt both happy and sad watching it.

They were happy because Liu Yue was truly sincere and Shen Mo really got hit — it wasn't an act.

They were sad because this kid Shen Mo made a killing of twenty million, and got a beautiful wife who loves and adores him. In the second-generation circle of Jinghai City.

Wang Fugui loudly mocked Shen Jiayun: "You trash, look, your ex-fiancée is currying favor with your little brother, and even gave him twenty million — oh, thirty million. You poor loser, have you ever held that much money in your life?" Shen Jiayun was furious. He looked down on Wang Fugui as a nouveau riche, while Wang Fugui looked down on his family's wealth — he was poor.

But Shen Jiayun could only retort at Wang Fugui with one line: "A gentleman does not eat food given in contempt. Shen Mo is just someone who relies on sweet talk and flattering women to seek wealth and status — he won't get far."

Wang Fugui went straight off in the group chat, accusing Shen Jiayun of putting on airs.

Shen Jiayun was so angry his teeth itched, and finally came up with a plan: leak Shen Mo's background, to let Shen Mo know what the crushing weight of a legitimate son over a bastard son looks like.

To this end, Shen Jiayun sought out Liu Qingqing, giving her all the one million he'd saved, to buy a trending topic about Shen Mo's background.

Liu Qingqing accepted, patted her chest and guaranteed no problem, but after hanging up the phone she told Zhu Kailan about the matter.

Liu Qingqing knew well Shen Jiayun's position in the Shen Family — when it came to Shen Family matters, it was best to tell the family directly.

Besides, she still remembered the favor Zhu Kailan had done her last time by helping clear her name.

Upon hearing the news, Zhu Kailan exploded. How did she give birth to such a scumbag as Shen Jiayun?

After transferring one million to Liu Qingqing to thank her for the tip-off, Zhu Kailan took out the family ruler and chased Shen Jiayun all around the villa, whipping him: "You wasteful brat, you don't think about working hard, you just keep staring at that Shen Mo all day. Do you have any idea how much harm exposing Shen Mo's identity could cause him?"

In Zhu Kailan's eyes, Shen Mo, who had earned twenty million by getting beaten, was already miserable enough — Shen Jiayun's actions were just stirring up trouble.

That night, Shen Jiayun was whipped until his skin split and flesh flew.

Not one of Shen Yilong and Shen Jiajia tried to stop her.

No matter how much they disliked Shen Mo, they would never do something that stabbed at his wound.

After finishing the beating of Shen Jiayun, Zhu Kailan called Shen Mo again.

When he received Zhu Kailan's call, Shen Mo was in the middle of a livestream bragging, telling fans to wait — he would definitely get his revenge, and return every strike the fans had given him.

After a moment's hesitation, Shen Mo still picked up Zhu Kailan's call.

However, Shen Mo ducked off to the side.

"Auntie, long time no see. Is something the matter?"

Zhu Kailan's sigh came through the phone: "Xiao Mo, although you're not my biological child, we still have some connection. If the Liu Family doesn't treat you well, just come back."

Shen Mo was a bit dumbfounded: "The Liu Family treats me pretty well."

"That Liu Yue even made you livestream getting beaten up." Zhu Kailan felt this was outright bullying.

Shen Mo said with a grin: "Oh, you mean that? That was completely voluntary. If I hadn't taken a beating, those twenty million wouldn't have felt right in my pocket."

"Auntie, you don't need to feel sorry for me. Look online — how many people would kill to swap places with me?"

Zhu Kailan was dumbfounded. Are young people these days really this wild?

And they don't think it's embarrassing? The livestream chat scrolled: "Holy shit, at first I thought Bro Mo was forced into it and felt kinda bad for him, but turns out this badass did it on purpose."

"666, that's our Shen Mo for you."

"I'm backing Bro Mo. One beating for twenty million — I'd take that deal in a heartbeat."

"The times are this brutal. We can't afford to toss aside money just for the sake of dignity."

"What can twenty million do? It can let me go back to my hometown, retire, and lie flat for life."

"He's the real deal. Bro Mo is the enlightened one among men."

"……"

Shen Mo let out a cheeky laugh and said smugly over the phone: "Auntie, let me tell you — I'm living like a king over here in the Northeast. You guys don't need to worry about me at all. Plenty of food, plenty of drinks, beautiful women in my arms, and no work to do. Life is absolutely heavenly. And the best part is, in just a few short months, I've already made thirty million. Add in the stock dividends and the money Grandma left me, and I've achieved financial freedom. Life is beautiful."

Hearing the genuine joy in Shen Mo's voice, Zhu Kailan smiled and said: "As long as you're truly happy, that's all that matters. Auntie only has one thing to say — if you can't hack it out there, just come back. No matter what, you're still a member of the Shen Family. You'll still be entitled to the basic benefits."

After thanking Zhu Kailan profusely, Shen Mo hung up the phone and went back to his livestream.

Looking at the seven hundred thousand viewers online, Shen Mo declared cockily: "Brothers, my injuries are all healed. Next up, I'm gonna get my revenge on all of you. Let me show you what the happy life of son-in-law Xiao Mo looks like."
