Shen Jingqi scoffed, "As if a bit of concern would do the trick? Learning relies on talent, which you never gave me, so don’t get your hopes up. And what, am I playing games here? No, I’m giving my brain some relaxation."
"You and your twisted logic. You little rascal, let me tell you, if your grades from this month’s exams still don’t satisfy me, forget about your allowance next month!"
Shen Jingqi immediately became unhappy upon hearing this, "I protest, this is dictatorship, Ms. Lu He, I warn you once, your behavior is severely detrimental to family harmony."
Lu the Great Film Queen glared with beautiful eyes, "In this house, what mom says goes. If you want to spend mom’s money, you’ll have to follow mom’s rules. If you’re capable, go out and earn your own living right now. I can’t be bothered with you!"
Shen Jingqi, lounging on the sofa, lazily reminded her, "Ms. Lu He, please mind your image; you’re a renowned film queen. If others saw you like some shrew, your fans would be disillusioned."
"Mom’s an actress of substance, not an idol. Plus, when mom disciplines her own son, even if it goes to the ends of the earth, it’s justified."
"Really? Then please tell me, who knows that you, Ms. Lu He, have a son? Or let me put it another way, does anyone know I’m the son of Lu the Great Film Queen?" Shen Jingqi said, cocking his legs and rolling his eyes.
Shen Weiyi: So, Shen Jingqi is Lu Yinghao’s son?
Does that mean not only is she married, but she was also a teen bride???
It seems she’s stumbled upon another juicy piece of gossip.
"I’m doing this to protect you," said Ms. Lu, lacking confidence for a moment but still managing to present some semblance of reason with her acting background.
Completely heedless of danger, Shen Jingqi continued to provoke, "Do you believe that yourself? I think it’s clear you’re just worried about affecting your acting career. For you, who’s more important, your own son or your career?"
"You little brat, has mom ever treated you poorly?" Lu the Great Film Queen grabbed his ear, "You eat mine, drink mine, use mine, and now you even try to drive a wedge between me and your dad."
Shen Jingqi bared his teeth in pain, but his mouth didn’t stop moving, "Resorting to violence when you can’t win an argument, is that how you should be a mom? Am I even your real child?"
Ms. Lu He scoffed and released her grip, "I wish you were picked up so I could throw you back and pick another one." She didn’t hide her disdain.
Rubbing his freed ear, Shen Jingqi, noticing Shen Weiyi standing by snacking on seeds, immediately called out to her, "Hey, come and judge this, isn’t this tyranny? Does your mom treat you the same way?"
Shen Weiyi: "I don’t have a mom, but I’ve heard the saying, ’Spare the rod, spoil the child,’ which means Sister Hehe loves and cares for you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jingqi screamed, "What did you call her? Sister Hehe? I’m only one grade below you, so if you call her Sister Hehe, should I be calling you auntie?"
Shen Weiyi thought about it seriously before saying, "I wouldn’t mind if you really want to call me that."
"F*ck, dream on!" Shen Jingqi was nearly choked with rage, gritting his teeth, "What kind of people has Brother Ting brought home? No wonder freaks attract the abnormal."
Shen Weiyi: ...Who was it that kept calling her ’sister’ just now, praising her and wanting to add her as a friend to get carried through games?
