Father is a villainous Buddhist disciple? He'll just be beaten into the light of the righteous

In the afternoon, Shen Jiming said he had to go to the company to handle some business, so he drove away in Shen Jiyuan's most low-key Audi A8.

Shen Ji had never seen a real entertainment company before, and upon hearing this, he jumped up and down, insisting on going to broaden his horizons. In the end, he was beaten up by Shen Jiyuan again.

Finally, like a scumbag who forces himself on someone, he viciously locked him in the room, pinned him to the bed, and said, "Sleep well, or I'll slap you!"

Shen Ji retorted, "Old Deng, I'm a flower of the motherland! I need to grow strong and healthy. How can I photosynthesize if you keep me locked up at home every day?!"

"I'll blame you for not growing up!"

Shen Jiyuan raised his hand and snapped on the main light in the room, then pulled open the curtains. The scorching midday sun shone through the glass window, instantly creating a wave of heat.

He sneered, "Alright, you can grow up now."

"Want me to water your plants?"

Shen Ji: "..."

Old Deng has changed; he's no longer the eccentric Buddhist monk he once was.

He lay on the bed reluctantly and closed his eyes fiercely.

Shen Jiyuan finally managed to coax Shen Ji to sleep when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He quickly pressed the mute button and left the room, only to see that the caller was his mother.

He frowned as he answered the phone, "Mom?"

The Empress Dowager's puzzled voice came through the receiver, "What are you doing? Why are you only answering the phone now?"

Shen Jiyuan asked, "I was just putting Xiaoji to sleep, and she just fell asleep. What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"Didn't Xiaoji just call me?" The Empress Dowager's voice was somewhat surprised. "He just said you were staging a thunderstorm at home, is that true?"

Her voice suddenly changed, and she said with even greater surprise, "Hiss... You've been a Buddhist disciple for so many years, and I thought you had some kind of problem in that area, so you used this as an excuse to save face."

"Good heavens, so you're acting out a melodramatic soap opera here?"

"Shen Jiyuan, let me tell you, Yun Qingqing isn't right for you!"

"You're both on the same household registration now, she's your sister, do you want to destroy this family?"

"If you dare to write anything inappropriate..." the Empress Dowager gritted her teeth, "I... ptooey, I'll..."

Before the other person could finish speaking, Shen Jiyuan hurriedly said, "Mom! I don't like Qingqing!"

"Don't listen to that brat Shen Ji's nonsense!"

He... he wasn't talking nonsense.

Although he did have a few years of mental lapses before, now... he already has a son, so in the marriage market, he's just a second-hand commodity—a single parent with a child.

You definitely won't find a good one.

Besides, he can't really find a stepmother for his brat, can he?

This brat is so insecure these days; he needs to be with her all the time. What if she really brings home a stepmother...?

His heart ached; that brat was going to become a pitiful little thing.

The Empress Dowager asked suspiciously, "If you don't like Qingqing, why did you act in Thunderstorm?" She paused, her suspicion turning into shock, "Could it be that you like Ji Ming?"

Shen Jiyuan: "..."

His lips twitched, and he said speechlessly, "Mom, go play your cards, why are you making things worse?"

The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief. "I knew it. You already have a son; he can't be gay, can he?"

Shen Jiyuan: "..."

The two chatted for a while longer, and the Empress Dowager said she would be back in two days and would also like to see her eldest grandson.

Finally, after Shen Jiyuan repeatedly emphasized that he didn't like Yun Qingqing and wasn't gay, the Empress Dowager happily hung up the phone.

The next day, after Shen Ji had picked out his thirteenth outfit and was still not satisfied, he received another scolding from Shen Jiyuan, who said, "Are you going to a beauty pageant?"

He grabbed a suit jacket from the side and exclaimed, "I'll wear this!"

Shen Ji brushed his hand away with disdain, "I don't want to wear this cheap, tacky outfit!"

Shen Jiyuan gritted his teeth and picked up a punk-style vest next to him. "Wear this."

Shen Ji frowned again. "This is too unconventional. It makes me seem immature."

Shen Jiyuan: "..."

His face grew increasingly dark. He grabbed a set of white sportswear from the side and put it on him, while also hanging a very stylish pair of headphones around his neck. "If you keep babbling, I'll make you go naked."

Shen Ji: "..."

He tugged at his pants in disgust, but Shen Jiyuan ignored him, scooped him up, and carried him out the door.

Peony School was on holiday, and I originally wanted to go with her, but Shen Ji flatly refused.

It's ridiculous. Bringing along an older player is one thing, but why did he bring along a younger player to steal his charm?

Shen Jiyuan then asked Xie Wujie to stay at home to guard the place. The top-notch bodyguards he had found from Shanhe Security also arrived at their posts today. There were three of them in total, named Fang Siming, Zhu Rong, and Qu Liuying.

There were four bodyguards in total, working in pairs to take turns.

Of the four bodyguards, only Qu Liuying was a girl.

Shen Jiyuan initially didn't plan to date a woman, as his family is all men and he felt that it would be inconvenient for women to be together.

But Zhao Tong is right. In case of any special occasion, it's always more convenient for girls.

Moreover, Qu Liuying came from the Qu family's martial arts lineage and was no ordinary person, so they invited him.

Today, Zhu Rong and Qu Liuying went out with them.

Shen Jiyuan's driver's license has been suspended, so he can't drive. He simply throws the car keys to Zhu Rong, Qu Liuying sits in the passenger seat, and the father and son sit in the back seat.

The destination was the address sent by the netizen named "Beautiful Girl Loves to Bend Her Butt" yesterday: a seafood restaurant called "Dripping Water".

Aside from drinking parties, Shen Jiyuan rarely eats out, and even when he does, given his status and position, he always goes to the most upscale restaurants.

So I couldn't help but complain about the evolution of these restaurant names.

Shen Ji snorted, "So what? I saw an even more abstract Chinese restaurant name in the mall a few days ago."

Shen Jiyuan asked, "What's your name?"

Shen Jidao said, "Yongquan, the 'Yongquan' in the phrase 'repaying a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude.'"

Shen Jiyuan couldn't help but twitch his lips and remarked, "Could the owners of these two restaurants be a couple?"

What bizarre names!

Shen Ji shrugged. "Who knows?"

Fortunately, the place wasn't far, and the group soon arrived at the entrance of Dishui Seafood Restaurant. Sure enough, Yunxiangju Teahouse was right next door.

Shen Jiyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Ji with some suspicion. Could this brat be doing this on purpose?

Shen Ji jumped out of the car quickly and was about to run inside when Shen Jiyuan grabbed the hood of his shirt by the back of his neck and said, "Don't run around."

Shen Ji almost fell on her backside from being pulled by him, and glared at him through gritted teeth.

Shen Jiyuan ignored him and said to Zhu Rong and Qu Liuying, "Our reservation is at table number 8, in the main hall. You two can find a seat closer to us."

"You can ask Sun Mian to reimburse any necessary expenses you incur in the future."

Zhu Rong and Qu Liuying nodded with smiles. "Thank you, boss!"

To avoid delaying their entry, the two waited several minutes after Shen Jiyuan and Shen Ji went inside before following them in.

Shen Jiyuan led Shen Ji to table number 8. Although it was in the main hall, it was in a corner and had a screen to block the view, so it could be considered a semi-enclosed private room.

To their surprise, when they arrived, there was already someone sitting in that seat.

The man was tall and had long legs. He wore a well-tailored suit, frameless glasses perched on his nose, and his hair was meticulously styled. He was handsome and dashing.

Shen Jiyuan and Shen Ji: "..."

But he's not a woman!
