Zhu Zi gracefully peeled the eggshell and swallowed it whole, just like Wu Chen. Wu Chen displayed arrogance, while Zhu Zi exuded the elegance of a noble young master. Wu Chen was stunned and felt even more resentful.

God is so damn blind!

"Be more confident." Zhu Zi started peeling the second egg. Her words warmed Wu Chen's heart. Sometimes, this deadpan face could be quite pleasing to the ear. She should curse less in the future. However—

"Remove 'sometimes' and 'sometimes' as well."

After Zhu Zi finished speaking calmly, he swallowed the second egg. It was just a simple boiled egg, but he tasted it as if it were a delicacy. Wu Chen was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He was so angry that he raised his hand to beat this bastard.

She can say she's a failure as a person, but others can't; she'll kill anyone who says that!

"Don't you want to know how I convinced Lu Mo?" Zhu Zi suddenly said, successfully stopping Wu Chen's violence. She leaned closer. "How did you convince him?"

"It's actually very simple. Every parent hopes their son will succeed, and Lu Mo is no exception. He knows I'm an outstanding person, and his son will be more successful if he follows me, so he made the right choice." Zhu Zi said sincerely, that's what he thought.

Dust-free...

Holy crap!

This is the first time I've discovered that this deadpan face is actually a narcissist.

It's the perverted kind!

"Aunt Fang, you absolutely mustn't let Little Pig follow Zhu Zi. He'll learn good things from good people and bad things from bad people. Zhu Zi is a thirty-year-old bachelor. What if Little Pig becomes a bachelor too?" Wu Chen shouted loudly, as if he wanted to stir up trouble.

Lin Shufang, whose anger had already subsided somewhat, felt her anger surge again upon hearing this. Wuchen's words made perfect sense. Zhu Zi was a good kid in every way, except for his strange temper. He was a young man in his thirties who didn't even have a girlfriend or a stable job. He was just an unemployed bum. How could his grandson learn anything good from someone like that?

"In short, I absolutely disagree. Whoever agrees can go, but my grandson cannot be taken away, or I will fight him to the death!"

Lin Shufang, who is usually gentle and mild-mannered, is incredibly stubborn once she gets going. She refused to let Zhu Zi take the piglet away no matter what she said. Lu Mo did not expect his mother to react so strongly and was at a loss for what to do.

"Aunt Ye, I will take good care of Little Pig." Zhu Zi promised in a gentle voice, showing considerable respect for Lin Shufang.

"How are you going to take care of him? You can't even make fried rice with eggs. My grandson is going to go hungry because of you!" Lin Shufang changed her previous good temper and scolded Zhu Zi. This bad guy had no good intentions and wanted to abduct her grandson. No wonder she couldn't give him a good look.

Zhu Zi...

He may not know how to make fried rice, but he's rich and knows how to poison. It would be easy for him to have a Michelin-starred chef serve him. How could he possibly let his apprentice go hungry?

"Mom, Zhu Zi hasn't starved to death all these years. There are so many restaurants and eateries; as long as you have money, you can eat your fill. Little Pig won't go hungry." Lu Mo was a bit exasperated. He glared at Wu Chen and decided to deal with the girl later.

Wuchen lowered his head and shoveled some rice into his mouth, then slipped away after a few hasty bites, saying, "I'm leaving!"

The wind's getting strong, let's get out of here!

The best course of action is to slip away early, otherwise Lu Mo will throw us into the latrine.

Lin Shufang was not as easy to persuade as Ye Qingqing. In the end, it was Grandpa Lu who stepped in. Although Grandpa Lu was also reluctant to part with his great-grandson, he could understand Lu Mo and knew that boys should go out and experience the hardships in order to cultivate a resilient and hardworking character.
