Li Mancang: "I'm telling you, you've been lying all these years without giving them any benefits. You've made a fool of yourself, and they still believe you?"

"Do you think you can question my methods?" Old Man Guan grinned smugly.

"Take it easy and quit while you're ahead, or you'll end up in a mess," Li Mancang advised.

Old Man Guan: "I'm already dead, let them make a fuss over you, just don't bother Xiaoyu."

Li Mancang... "Can't you at least be a human being before you die?"

"I'd rather have regrets myself than leave any hidden dangers for Xiaoyu. I've never been a human being in my life, so it's fine if you don't treat me like one," Old Man Guan said nonchalantly.

Li Mancang was speechless. This old man was shameless, and no one could do anything about him.

"Xiaoyu is over thirty, you as her father, you should hurry up and make some arrangements for her," Old Man Guan said anxiously, remembering Xiaoyu's age.

"How am I supposed to arrange this? I don't have people of that caliber around me. If I introduce a worker to someone, you'll probably try to take advantage of me." How could he possibly interfere in Xiaoyu and Manman's life-long matters?

Old Man Guan: "What about your bureau chief and professor friend? Ask them to keep an eye out for you."

Li Mancang… “Xiaoyu has definitely been influenced by you. She thinks all men are like you—so cunning and calculating—and has no good feelings towards men.”

When Old Man Guan heard that the blame was being shifted onto him, he became agitated, "When the child was young, I was busy making a living. Apart from keeping an eye on that family of tomb raiders, who else did I scheme against? The child went to school and was with you all. The influence is yours."

Li Mancang... what he said seems to make some sense.

“Xiaoyu is back. As her father, you need to pay more attention to her. Don’t just revolve around your wife all day long. You’ve been doing this your whole life, haven’t you had enough?” Old Man Guan said with a sidelong glance, and the parrot mimicked him.

Li Mancang, with a deadpan expression, asked, "If Xiaoyu could find someone like me, would you be happy?"

Old Man Guan… “Besides obeying your wife, you have no redeeming qualities. You’re too uneducated, too ugly, and too poor.”

"I'm poor?" Li Mancang could tolerate other things, but he absolutely could not admit to being poor.

Old Guan snorted twice, "Your little fortune was all built up by your wife. What have you done? You've just been a kept man."

Li Mancang... He never expected that someone would say he was a gigolo. "You don't know, don't talk nonsense. What do you mean by gigolo? I'm a man who lives off his wife."

"You're just a kept man," Old Man Guan sneered.

"I don't have time to argue with you. I'm going to look at my house." Li Mancang said angrily, preparing to leave, but after taking a few steps, he turned back.

"By the way, make sure you explain those things to Xiaoyu, so they don't affect our relationship."

"I know, I can't let you get away with this," Old Man Guan said with his eyes closed.

Li Mancang... Old Man Guan's words came out horizontally.

On his way home, Li Mancang racked his brains over his connections, trying to figure out how to help his two troublesome relatives. Unfortunately, his network was too limited.

At dinner time, the third son returned with his three children.

"Grandpa and Grandma, we're on holiday!" Yuanyuan shouted, jumping up and down.

"Another holiday?" Li Mancang felt a headache coming on.

"Grandpa, what do you mean by 'again'? It should be 'just now'. Oh my god, this semester has really exhausted me!" Yuan Yuan was chubby and fair-skinned, her school uniform pants making her buttocks look round and full.

The third brother kicked him as soon as he entered the room, yelling, "You've gained over ten pounds again! Where did you get tired? You're in last place again this time, and I'll show you how I beat you!"

Yuanyuan wrinkled her nose. "Even though I'm not good at studying, I still leave early and come home late every day. How come I'm not tired?"
