The anchor I was supposed to meet turned out to be my student.

Chapter 138, 643. Being a doting father to your daughter is disgusting!

2021-03-14T20:54:03

I suddenly understood what Mrs. Lu had misunderstood before. No wonder she said that Lu Xiaojun was too shy to come out and see me.

Lu Xiaojun is indeed too good a child, she even told her parents about such private matters... But the key point is that Lu Chaoxiong is also too bizarre, he actually discussed such private matters with his son-in-law...

Overprotective fathers are disgusting!

"Uncle Lu, please calm down... How should I put it... Xiaojun and I were both willing, it's not like what you think, me unilaterally bullying her or anything..."

"I think so! My daughter is delicate and weak, and she can't beat you in a fight, so she can only swallow her anger and be bullied by you. And her personality is like her mother's, gentle and easy to talk to. If you coax her a few words, she will fulfill any... request you make."

Lu Chaoxiong's slight moment of panic at the end made me think he was quite experienced... because he had just mentioned that Lu Xiaojun's personality was like his wife's...

Ah, it seems Lu Chaoxiong is quite experienced. He must have bullied Mrs. Lu quite a bit...

But I'd never heard of such a bizarre father-in-law before, and for a moment I didn't know how to explain. Yet I had to say something, so I quickly said, "Uncle Lu, you've really misunderstood. I absolutely didn't bully Xiaojun. I cherish her so much... That matter... Uncle Lu, you've been in relationships before, you should understand... It's normal for couples to have this kind of interaction when they reach a certain stage and it's mutual... Uncle Lu, you're not the kind of old-fashioned parent, are you? You can definitely accept the normal interactions that young people have when they're dating, right?"

"You're saying I'm old, aren't you? Don't let my daughter's age fool you, I'm not lagging behind. I know a lot about all that cosplay stuff that Xiaojun talks about. I've even taken photos of her, and she praised them. She even asked if I'd ever considered trying out a job at the BBC, saying the photos were very professional..."

Lu Chaoxiong is arguing that he's not old and understands what young people like us have... This is an old father struggling to save face...

I patted Lu Chaoxiong on the shoulder and said, "So, Xiaojun and I are both young people, not that conservative. I will definitely marry her, so it's normal for couples to have some things happen before marriage. She is willing to accept it. So it's not like what Uncle Lu thinks, that I definitely bullied Lu Xiaojun. It was consensual between both of us."

Lu Chaoxiong frowned as he saw me with my arm around his shoulder...

"You brat, you're trying to change the subject. I almost fell for your trick. No, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. I don't care if it was consensual or not. Anyway, you dared to make my pure, angelic daughter do that kind of thing for you. That's your fault, and I have to beat you up to vent my anger!"

Lu Chaoxiong wasn't joking at all; being a frequent boxer, he was about to punch me in the stomach...

"Dad! Are you bullying my boyfriend again?!" Suddenly, Lu Xiaojun's cute but fierce voice came from the second-floor window.

Lu Chaoxiong's punch stopped, and I also stopped my move to dodge.

"Xiaojun, what are you saying? You told Dad not to bully Tusheng, how could Dad not listen to you... Look, Tusheng and I are very close, we even have our arms around each other."

Lu Chaoxiong's expression changed incredibly quickly under his daughter's angry glare, and he nudged me again from an angle where Lu Xiaojun couldn't see.

"You agree, right, I was just chatting with you casually."

I had to nod in agreement, to give this doting father a shred of dignity in front of his daughter. He was really pitiful; he was incredibly successful outside, with countless people fawning over him and behaving according to his wishes, but at home, he was completely controlled by his daughter and wife…

Lu Xiaojun stood with her hands on her hips in front of the French windows, looking at Lu Chaoxiong suspiciously, then at me with concern.

Lu Chaoxiong quickly pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his bag, handed one to me, and said to Lu Xiaojun, "Xiaojun, look, Dad is so good to Tusheng. I was just about to let him try this new cigarette I just got..."

However, Lu Chaoxiong made another mistake...

Lu Xiaojun said unhappily, "I hate smoking the most. My teacher quit smoking for me, but you, Dad, won't quit. Now you're even letting my teacher smoke with you. Do you act like an elder?! This is wrong!"

Lu Chaoxiong quickly pulled the cigarette out of my mouth, threw it and the pack of cigarettes in his hand on the ground, and stomped on them several times.

"Xiaojun, Daddy was wrong, I won't smoke anymore."

As Lu Chaoxiong pushed my back towards the house, he said, "Xiaojun, you can continue your afternoon nap. It's a bit sunny here. I'll take Tusheng inside so we can continue our chat."

Lu Chaoxiong glared at me, giving me a look that said he'd deal with me once we went inside. I was speechless... because even if we went inside, he couldn't do anything to me, since Mrs. Lu was there. Lu Chaoxiong could only helplessly do nothing to me...

Sitting back down on the sofa, I asked about the second reason I had come here.

"Uncle and Aunt, I want to ask you something... about Ye Zhi's biological mother."

Both of them were surprised, not expecting me to ask about Ye Zhi, especially about Ye Zhi's biological mother.

"Here's the thing, once I went to ask Ye Zhi some questions about starting a business, and I happened to run into her arguing with Uncle Ye and her stepmother... Ye Zhi was in a bad mood afterward, and I didn't feel comfortable asking her. Ye Zhi is Xiao Jun's cousin and also my friend, so I'm quite concerned about her. That's why I wanted to ask if you know what's going on?"

Mrs. Lu's real name is Ye Xiaoman. She is Ye Zhi's father Ye Chengmai's younger sister, so I think she might know something.

Mrs. Lu was silent for a while, then she gave me a general overview of what she knew. There were many things she couldn't tell me, and although she only knew the general outline, there were no contradictions between what I learned from Ye Zhi's stepmother, Xiao Wan, just not in as much detail.

……

Leaving Lu Xiaojun's house, I didn't get any more information about Ye Zhi's family from Mrs. Lu, but it helped me further confirm that Xiao Wan wasn't lying to me. Mrs. Lu told me a crucial piece of information: during one of her visits to Ye Zhi's mother, Ye Zhi's mother introduced Xiao Wan to her and encouraged Xiao Wan to get to know Mrs. Lu better. At first, Mrs. Lu didn't understand what Ye Zhi's mother meant by this, but now she realized it was an introduction to her new sister-in-law...

It was roughly the time when Ye Zhi's mother was making her final arrangements and started introducing Xiao Wan to the relatives to avoid any misunderstandings that her husband had cheated on her while she was seriously ill. However, Ye Zhi's mother did not expect that her condition would suddenly worsen and she would pass away in an emergency. She did not have time to introduce Xiao Wan to all the relatives...

(Sorry for the late update... I had a lot of things to do today, hehe... Please vote for me~ The plot is about to move to the New Year's episode, where Tusheng brings his harem home for the New Year, making his parents very proud in front of the relatives~)

Chapter 139, Section 644: The Culprit: Pineapple

2021-03-15T14:26:24

I still need to see Ye Chengmai in person about Ye Zhi's matter. If I don't resolve Ye Zhi's worries, they will become my worries as well...

Back in the office, I called Xin Ning again to confirm that the two equally proud female cats at home hadn't started fighting and were getting along peacefully. Only then could I continue working with peace of mind. Then, as usual, I went to Xiao Yan's house for tutoring in the afternoon...

However, when I finished dinner and was about to continue recording the lesson that evening, Xin Ning called. Seeing her name, I had a bad feeling because I had told her that if her two at home started arguing, she should notify me immediately.

I prayed it wasn't true, and answered the phone...

"Brother, something terrible has happened! Sister Tongtong and Sister Yezhi are arguing! Sister Lehan and I can't stop them! Sister Yezhi, don't be impulsive, put down the razor, it's still a baby..."

Xin Ning was too busy to explain to me what they had argued about again; after hanging up the phone, she went to stop Ye Zhi.

I had to give up working overtime tonight and rushed back to the villa in just four hours.

Before I even entered the villa, I could already hear the sounds of the haughty little female cat and the aloof little female cat arguing outside the door...

Upon entering the villa, they saw two groups facing off. Xin Ning was pulling Ye Zhi along, while Xu Lehan was dragging Tong Tong. Tong Tong was also holding Pineapple in her arms. Pineapple was different today. Before Tong Tong returned, Pineapple was extremely wary of Ye Zhi, but now, with her mother's protection, she was baring her teeth and claws at Ye Zhi without any fear. She had none of the elegance that a Ragdoll cat should have, just like her mother. When fighting in any sense, she was nothing like an elegant little fairy...

"Tongtong, I'll say it again, give me that stinky cat you're holding, hurry up." Ye Zhi held the grooming clippers in her hand, her fingers tapping lightly on them, which made Pineapple cry pitifully to Tongtong a few times, as if begging her mother not to betray "her".

"Don't worry, Pineapple, Mom will never betray you, Mom will never bow down to evil forces... Ye Zhi, don't even think about it, Pineapple won't give it to you, you can only blame yourself for not holding the phone properly."

Although Ye Zhi had no expression, her eyes were cold, but Tong Tong was not afraid at all.

After a brief standoff, Ye Zhi, without saying a word, broke free from Xin Ning's hand and walked towards Tong Tong, determined to drag Pineapple over and shave off its beautiful white fur.

"Sister Ye Zhi, don't be impulsive, let's talk this out... Sister Ye Zhi..." Xin Ning tried to pull her back but couldn't. Ye Zhi had already reached out to grab the pineapple, but Tong Tong naturally wouldn't let her, turning around to block Ye Zhi. Ye Zhi then forcefully pulled Tong Tong back, and Xu Lehan also tried her best to separate the two of them, but unfortunately, Ye Zhi, who exercised regularly, was stronger than them...

Just as things were getting out of hand, I, standing at the door, finally couldn't help but shout sternly, "Stop right there!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, they all stopped and turned to look at me.

Yes, their king has returned.

However, less than a second later, Ye Zhi and Tong Tong started pulling and tugging at each other again.

"Tongtong, give me that stinky cat!"

"No, I won't sell my own daughter!"

Are you ignoring me?

We will not tolerate this.

I strode up to them, grabbed their shoulders with both hands, and with considerable effort separated them, shouting, "You're not listening to me anymore, are you? Fine, so your feelings have faded and you don't care about what I say anymore, huh?"

Upon hearing this, Tongtong no longer had time to argue with Ye Zhi and hurriedly said to me, "Tusheng, what nonsense are you talking about? I never said that! If things had cooled down, how could I have willingly let you try all sorts of positions on me that night!"

The air suddenly became quiet.

Tongtong realized she had said something terrible in her haste, and a blush immediately rose on her pretty face as she lowered her head in embarrassment.

"What positions are they?" Xu Lehan couldn't help but ask curiously.

Tongtong was even more embarrassed, and I glared at Xu Lehan in annoyance.

Fortunately, Ye Zhi spoke up, diverting attention.

"Tusheng, you're so naive. Who would be so sentimental about whether the feelings are strong or weak? Because whether they are strong or weak doesn't change the fact that you are mine."

"Ye Zhi, you're shameless! What do you mean, 'Tu Sheng is yours'? He's clearly mine!"

To prevent them from starting a new argument before finishing one, I shouted again, "Shut up, all of you! Stand at attention and behave yourselves!"

In fact, they were quite obedient to me, and slowly and leisurely stood at attention in front of me.

"Hey... Boss, do I need to stand at attention?" Xu Lehan suddenly asked.

"Stand still, prisoners and witnesses will be interrogated."

So the four women stood in a row, facing me sitting on the sofa. Each of them had a different posture, displaying four different personalities. I looked them over seriously, giving them a rare opportunity to find a quiet place for me to compare them.

I stood up, and with a stern expression, slowly walked around them, scrutinizing them as I came to their side... I inadvertently discovered that, indeed, the view was different depending on the angle and distance.

Once they were behind them, Xu Lehan, who seemed to have ADHD, couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Boss, are you imagining the four of us bending over with our hands on the sofa and sticking our backs out?"

I lightly slapped her on the head and said irritably, "You talk too much!"

"Hehe, I know, not four..."

"If you keep talking nonsense, Seven Wolves will give you a good spanking!"

"Boss, spare me! Don't break the belt, it's not worth it..."

I turned back to them and asked, "Tell me the whole story."

"Ye Zhi spanked Pineapple's bottom!" Tongtong said first.

Ye Zhi snorted and said, "It's all because it reached out its claws for no reason and knocked my phone to the ground, causing me to lose a team fight and lose a star!"

"What do you mean by 'for no reason'? Pineapple told me before that when I'm not around, you always bully it. You deliberately give it not enough dried fish, and you always take two pieces of dried fish back from the plate. You also often threaten it with a razor!"

This pineapple is practically sentient! How did it express itself? And more importantly, Tongtong understood it!

Even the science of science can't explain it.

"So, Tongtong, you instructed Pineapple to do this?" I asked, looking at Tongtong and Pineapple.

"Hmph, although I didn't give any instructions, Pineapple did exactly what I wanted, so I'll praise Pineapple later and give it a plate of dried fish."

Pineapple meowed excitedly a few times, rubbing its fluffy head against Tongtong's belly to show its loyalty.

"Tongtong, you're doing something wrong. You're spoiling Pineapple, and it will become more and more unruly in the future," I had to say fairly.
