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

Shen Ji shrugged indifferently, "Milk is fine with me too, are you treating me, big brother?"

Xia Man's eyelids twitched from being called "older brother" repeatedly. Speechless, she said, "Little brat, why don't you just call me uncle?"

Shen Ji hummed in agreement, then readily engaged in casual conversation, "How old are you, Uncle?"

Xia Man: "..."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Ji sighed and said, "Uncle, you don't know how to talk? This won't do, it's very difficult for a man to find a girlfriend."

Xia Man: "..."

"You're not like my dad, only good at having crushes and being a simp, are you?"

Shen Jiyuan: "..."

He slammed his fist into Shen Ji's head, and said in a sinister tone, "Heh, I advise you to watch your words."

Shen Ji covered his head and blinked, "But my dad isn't a simp anymore. He's ready to turn over a new leaf. Uncle, you should think this through."

He shook his head and sighed softly, "Love is like the wind; after all your efforts, it's all for nothing."

Xia Man chuckled at his description, "You're just a little kid, how do you know this?"

Shen Ji clutched his chest sadly, "After all, my first online romance ended just like that. You old fogies... you're all liars when it comes to love."

Xia Man: "..."

Shen Jiyuan irritably put the crab meat in his hand into his bowl, "Stop joking around and eat your food."

Shen Ji said "oh" and started munching on the crab meat in his bowl.

Xia Man glanced at the father and son, then silently looked away and began to eat.

But Shen Ji was a restless soul; even while eating, he couldn't resist gossiping, "Uncle, you still haven't told me how old you are?"

Xia Man casually replied, "23," while munching on spicy crab.

"He's 20 years older than me, what a pity."

"What's a pity?"

"Too old, she can't be my wife."

"..."

Xia Man's lips twitched violently, and she rolled her eyes, saying, "That's true, I'm the right age to be your father."

Shen Ji blinked, covered her face shyly, and said, "Uh... I don't want to act out a stepmother story, you're so naughty, old uncle."

Xia Man: "..."

Shen Jiyuan: "..."

He slapped Shen Ji on the head, gritting his teeth, and said, "Go to hell, I'd rather be a lonely widow for life than have my spear covered in shit."

Xia Man: "..."

He said irritably, his face darkening. "Do you guys even remember we're eating?"

Shen Ji hummed in agreement, "Uncle, you're so bad at games, you probably don't have a girlfriend, right?"

"Have you gone to work yet?"

"How much is the salary?"

"Have you saved enough money to get married?"

Do you own a car and a house?

Xia Man: "..."

He didn't want to talk to this brat anymore.

"Uncle, why aren't you saying anything? Have you lost your temper?"

"Sigh." Shen Ji shook his head. "What defense did you break? This isn't your fault. If anyone's to blame, it's..."

"?"

"You don't have a good father."

"..."

Shen Ji slapped Shen Jiyuan's arm repeatedly, "Look at my dad, Old Deng, the youngest and most handsome man on the Forbes list. I don't have to worry about these things, hahaha."

Xia Man: "..."

Shen Jiyuan was numb and too lazy to speak.

Upon hearing Shen Ji's words, Xia Man's gaze instinctively shifted to Shen Jiyuan's face. His expression remained puzzled for a moment before he suddenly realized, "Damn, you...you're Shen Jiyuan?!"

Shen Jiyuan raised his eyes coolly, without saying a word.

Xia Man stared wide-eyed in surprise, "Holy crap, no way, it really is you."

As Shen Ji munched on a spicy crab, his mouth dripping with oil, he asked, "Do you know my father?"

Xia Man was still in shock, his mind racing for a while before he finally came to his senses. He scratched his head and said, "I guess we know each other."

"Calculate?"

"My dad is the business manager of Huaien Group. I met President Shen two years ago when I went to a cocktail party with my dad."

No wonder he felt this person looked familiar before.

"Huai'en Group?" Shen Ji and Shen Jiyuan were both taken aback.

"Yes." Xia Man thought Shen Jiyuan was asking who his father was, so he smiled and said, "My father's name is Xia Yongsheng."

He never expected to run into Shen Jiyuan while playing a game. Could this be considered incredibly lucky?

Shen Jiyuan is someone many people dream of meeting. Putting aside everything else, even a little business that flows out from under his fingernails would be enough to keep many medium-sized companies alive for more than half a year.

If his father could really get in touch with Shen Jiyuan, that old man would be set for life.

hum.

Let's see how he'll blame himself for not doing his job properly in the future!

Upon thinking of this, Xia Man's expression instantly changed. He said enthusiastically, "My dad was saying a few days ago that he wanted to invite you, President Shen, to dinner. I didn't expect to be the one to have dinner with you first, haha."

Before Shen Jiyuan could speak, Shen Ji arrogantly snorted, "Do you think my old man can be dated by just anyone? He has no class at all, he really lowers our standards."

Xia Man: "..."

That's what I said, but you little brat, do you have to be so direct?!

"But I'm my dad's most, most, most beloved little darling," Shen Ji said proudly. "Dad will definitely listen to what I say."

"For the sake of you being my most beloved baby, I can put in a good word for you with my dad."

When Xia Man heard the word "baby", she almost spat out her water.

Why does this little brat always say things that are so outrageous and shocking?

Although they did call each other "baby" in the game, that was in the game, across a screen and in a virtual world, so who knows who they really are?

Now that he had said it so abruptly, and with the man's father sitting right next to him, his old face turned bright red with embarrassment.

"Ahem..." he coughed dryly. "Um, young master, now that we've met in person, can we please stop using the game-like terms of address?"

Shen Ji pouted, "But we're still in a relationship, didn't you tell me to call you baby?"

Xia Man: "..."

For some reason, he felt a chill down his back.

With Shen Jiyuan's face as black as the bottom of a pot, he awkwardly forced a smile and said, "You've got it wrong, we're just good brothers!"

"Good buddy?"

"Yes, he's a good brother!"

"Ugh, shameless! You're so old, and you still want to be my brother!"

Xia Man, deflated, clasped her hands together and begged for mercy, "My young master, please spare me."

"Your dad's about to eat me!"

Shen Ji readily accepted the offer, "Alright, since you're such a coward, if you treat me to Longjing tea from Yunxiangju, I'll reluctantly forgive you."

Xia Man: "..."

Can he say no?

"Okay, okay, okay," he pleaded. "Don't even mention Yunxiangju's Longjing tea, I'll treat you to Longjing milk too."

"Hurry up and eat, my little darling."
