Lu Lincheng, who was standing next to her, wanted to say something, but his wife rolled her eyes at him and said, "If your sister-in-law bullies our son, and you dare to side with her, I'll beat you up too!"

Lu Lincheng shut his mouth.

Qiao Weini gave Lu Mingfei a hug, patted his head, and said, "Mingfei, we don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either. As long as you don't do anything immoral, whatever you do, Mom will support you! I'll always be behind you! I'll even stand in front of you and protect you if you're in danger! After all, you're my most beloved son! Mom loves you!"

Lu Mingfei remembered that before he could even hear what Jovini had to say, he had already hidden in his mother's arms and burst into tears.

Although he knew that Giovanni was a fake, he believed that Giovanni would definitely say and do the same thing.

Because, Qiao Weini is Lu Mingfei's mother.

My parents are busy with work right now, and I haven't told them that I'm not having a good time at my uncle and aunt's house, so they haven't jumped out of the helicopter like a hero and chased away all the bad guys who are bullying me.

Lu Mingfei didn't want to distract or worry his parents, so he was determined to become his own hero.

Making Lu Mingze clarify his position is only the first step.

He will take back everything that belongs to him, step by step, from this home of others!

Afterwards, Lu Mingfei let Lu Mingze go wash the dishes.

He knew that Lu Mingze was the type to forget the pain once the wound healed, and that he would cause trouble again sooner or later.

We'll deal with him and train him gradually later.

Lu Mingfei was in a great mood and went back to his room to study. As for dinner, his aunt knew him well, and he knew his aunt well too. They had already anticipated this and simply ate a bowl of braised pork intestines at a street vendor.

The meal expenses were kindly provided by Ms. Chen Wenwen.

Those who receive love should love themselves.

Lu Mingfei felt he couldn't continue to be so颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, and lacking motivation). He thought that when Qiao Weini returned from abroad and saw him looking so pathetic, she would definitely be very upset.

At the very least, you need to get into a good university.

Although Lu Ming is not human and acts like a complete slacker, he still values ​​the college entrance examination because of the influence of domestic culture.

For the sake of those who love him, Lu Mingfei can no longer be insulted and must let his strength speak for itself.

With over a year until the college entrance exam, hard work can make up for any shortcomings, and it's never too late to start making a comeback. There are countless real-life examples.

When it comes to tutoring, Lu Mingfei excels in Chinese and English, but is weaker in science, especially chemistry, which seriously drags him down. He always falls behind others by 20 or 30 points in the monthly exams.

Lu Mingfei didn't have a tutor, but he had some money to spare, so he planned to spend some money to hire a college student tutor to give him intensive lessons.

Why college students?

It's common for college students to tutor in their spare time to earn some money for living expenses.

Some students with financial difficulties even use it as a work-study program.

For Lu Mingfei, a college student tutor is a good option because they are close in age and share common interests.

On the other hand, Lu Mingfei also wanted to hear about university life, whether it was as liberating and carefree as the teachers described.

Of course, he would also accept older tutors or fellow high school students, as long as they have good grades and are willing to exchange their knowledge and time for money.

Lu Mingfei felt that he should first review the subjects he was relatively good at, as this would reduce his resistance and make it easier to get started.

First, I studied subjects such as Chinese, English, and history, memorizing key points. Then, I did several math homework problems three times without looking at the answers.

Two hours had passed when I looked back.

If my aunt is really into playing mahjong, she won't come home until 11 or 12 at night.

After washing the dishes, Lu Mingze didn't dare go inside. He watched TV in the living room, plotting something in his mind.

Lu Mingfei put down his pen, taking a break from work, and rewarded himself with a game of StarCraft on Lu Mingze's laptop.

I also logged into my QQ account to feed my penguin pet.

Lu Mingfei noticed that his chat history with Chen Wenwen stopped three days ago with the sentence, "I'm going to take a shower."

Lu Mingfei chuckled softly and stopped paying attention. He then noticed that the StarCraft group was quite lively. It turned out that someone with the ID "Old Tang" was challenging him in the group.

Lu Mingfei maintained his superior demeanor in the group, simply posting two words: "Come and fight."

Chapter 6 A Good Show

Old Tang: I'm so sorry I couldn't make Master Ming have a good time.

It's clearly Lu Mingfei's ID.

Although it's a cute ID, Lu Mingfei often delivers a crushing blow when he gets going.

"This old Tang does have some skill, probably about the same as my five fingers," Lu Mingfei muttered to himself.

He plays StarCraft by pointing at the red dot with his finger, and if those self-proclaimed pros in the group knew that, they would definitely curse him, saying, "That's fucking insane!"

If the heavens did not give birth to the road of enlightenment, the world would remain in eternal darkness.

The fact that this old Tang was able to force Lu Mingfei to operate the game with one hand shows his extraordinary skill.

After finishing the sentence, Lu Mingfei readily accepted the friend request.

Old Tang: I can't take it anymore! I admit defeat!

Mingming: Old Tang, you're pretty good. I was sweating buckets playing against you.

Old Tang: Me too! It's so satisfying to play against a master! Want to play another round?

Just as Lu Mingfei was about to agree, he heard the door open and said, "Brother, I have something to do, I'll log off now, we'll fight another day."

Old Tang: No problem! I'm about to start work anyway. Bye, bro.

Working at night?

Do they work night shifts at the chemical plant?

Lu Mingfei guessed.

However, the person who needs to be concerned right now is his aunt. Lu Mingfei heard his aunt's voice outside the door. She was very loud and scolded Lu Mingze for watching TV so close to her. She said he would go blind sooner or later!

Lu Mingfei realized that his aunt had lost quite a bit of money playing mahjong. She was a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment!

Lu Mingze was bullied by his cousin, whom he always looked down on, just a few hours ago, and now he's being scolded by his mother like a son!

Lu Mingze's strong sense of pride during puberty caused him to break down. He, who hadn't truly found his way back to his childlike self, suddenly burst into tears. His aunt was terrified and quickly hugged him, saying, "My darling! Who bullied you?!"

At this moment, Lu Gucheng dragged his tired body home from get off work. As soon as he opened the door and loosened his tie, he saw his wife holding their son, who was crying.

He tilted his head.

What happened?

Lu Mingze choked up as he recounted what had happened. He believed that his mother was probably no match for Lu Mingfei under normal circumstances, but with the powerful buff of losing all her money playing mahjong, she might be able to put up a fight against Lu Mingfei!

Lu Mingze sent out his aunt, who was still angry.

After hearing Lu Mingze's embellished account—that he whipped her with a belt like a spinning top, and that he headbutted Lu Mingfei's shoe sole—the aunt was deeply moved.

My aunt... she... her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Lu Gucheng was already overwhelmed by what he heard. He thought Lu Mingze was making a mountain out of a molehill. His son was spoiled rotten by his mother. How could Lu Mingfei possibly do such a cruel thing?

Then Lu Gucheng saw his wife faint on the ground, her head hitting the floor with a loud thud. He was startled and rushed over to pinch her philtrum hard.

Lu Mingze stood there, stunned.

My mom is so useless! Why did she surrender without a fight?

But she was still his mother, and Lu Mingze suddenly knelt down, wailing, "My God!!!"

On the other side, Lu Mingfei was prepared to fight his aunt, but when he heard the commotion outside, it seemed that things were not developing as he had expected. He quickly walked out of the room and saw his uncle pinching his aunt's philtrum and Lu Mingze kneeling on the ground crying.

This made Lu Mingfei laugh; people really do laugh when they're speechless.

Thanks to the effectiveness of pinching the philtrum, or perhaps because Lu Gucheng was too anxious and used too much force, the aunt, who was being pinched, had a dazed look in her eyes. She seemed to have a brief replay of her visions and saw Lu Lincheng and his wife, Qiao Weini.

To be honest, my aunt is jealous of Jovie. She married an ordinary man, but why hasn't Jovie been assimilated by life and worried about daily necessities?

While he was frantically fighting with a group of housewives for discounted vegetables at the supermarket, she was wearing a clean and beautiful dress, holding her husband's hand as they strolled, the sunlight shining on her, looking so elegant and poised.

Why?

Everyone says that Lu Lincheng married a good wife.

But when it comes to Lugu City, he says he found a shrew.

My aunt was not satisfied! She was indignant!

Why do people like Giovanni but dislike her?

My aunt was just unhappy. She never looked for problems within herself and attributed everything to God's unfairness.

So Auntie gritted her teeth and scratched her head at the lucky Giovanni, transferring her hatred onto the younger generation.

Knowing she could never surpass Jovini in this lifetime, the aunt focused on practicing the trumpet. She wanted to raise Lu Mingze into an outstanding person so that everyone would say she had a good son.

But that's not enough. Happiness is relative, and so is a sense of superiority.

Once Lu Mingfei falls into her hands, he'll never have a good life!

She hated Lu Mingfei's smile; it easily reminded her of that bitch Qiao Weini's smile.

When that slut smiles, people say it's like a gentle breeze, and it instantly lifts their spirits.

But later, Auntie liked Lu Mingfei's smile. She liked Lu Mingfei's apologetic smile when he was at home, just like when Qiao Weini gave in to her and also showed a flattering smile.

Though it wasn't outwardly apparent, the auntie had actually been secretly humming to herself.

In short, Auntie dislikes Lu Mingfei because of Jovini, and sincerely hopes that Lu Mingfei will always be outshone by Lu Mingze, and will always be subservient to her, never daring to express his anger.

That's how Auntie will feel, "Life! Ah! This is life!"

If Lu Mingfei knew about his aunt's twisted psychology, he would say that it was all wishful thinking on her part.

My mom isn't as perfect as she seems to outsiders. She's a terrible cook, so my dad can only buy half a roast chicken after get off work under the pretext of having an extra meal.

Lu Mingfei was biting a chicken leg, Qiao Weini was eating chicken wings, and Lu Lincheng was gnawing on a chicken neck.

My mother sometimes complains that Lu Lincheng is not ambitious enough and that his workplace has not allocated him a good house.

My mom can be mercenary too.

This is human nature.
