Chapter 385 Provocation
Seeing that her son's temper was flaring up, Lei Jingwu's mother also got worked up.
Over the years, I've had fewer opportunities to see my son and less chance to discipline him. Whenever I see him, all I can say is concern.
Perfect timing, I'll have a good talk with my precious son today.
"Okay! Come on, we have some time today, let's have a good talk. I just think you're not good enough for Shura."
Think about it, what kind of life did you have when you were a child? I wouldn't say you were the center of attention, but you certainly grew up surrounded by love and care!
Basically, you can have whatever you want and do whatever you want.
If you want to join the army, then join the army. No matter what your family has done for you, you can't just say you don't want to.
Okay, if you don't want to be a soldier anymore, then come back. Your family has already arranged your path; you just need to follow their instructions.
But you, on the contrary, didn't follow your family's arrangements and wanted to go out and do business.
Look at Shura. What kind of life does Shura live? Her mother is gone, and her father is practically nonexistent! But Shura is down-to-earth and raises her younger siblings.
She did all sorts of work, acting as both father and mother to her younger siblings, and raised them so well.
In this respect, can you compare to Shura?
Shura is responsible, responsible to her family, and responsible to her younger siblings. She has set a good example for them.
"And you? What good example have you set for your younger siblings?" Lei Jingwu's mother looked at Lei Jingwu.
Lei Jingwu...
"It seems we can't compare!"
"See, you admit it yourself! You're nowhere near as good as Yao Shula when it comes to family responsibility."
Shura is not only responsible and conscientious, but also kind-hearted!
Think about it, if Shura wasn't kind-hearted, would she have taken Tiantian home?
Back then, no family had any extra food. Tian Tian was so pampered, so they took her home and fed her well. Who else could do that?
You're hopeless! What do you often say to those lower-ups? "You must always be vigilant; enemy agents might be hiding among them."
"You tell me, isn't that right?" Lei Jingwu's mother continued.
Lei Jingwu had nothing to say.
Although I said those words myself, weren't they the same words I said when I was a kid playing war games with everyone?
Back then, wasn't it popular to catch spies?
"Yes! Mom, you're right. Yao Shula is very kind and has a kind heart, which is something I can't match."
Besides this, what other advantages does Yao Shula have? Lei Jingwu leaned back on the sofa.
Lei Jingwu's mother was a little smug. Look, her son had left her speechless!
"What else? Shura worked hard and took it one step at a time, turning her hard life into a good one."
What does this show? It shows that Shura is a thrifty person; she can endure hardship and make the best of it.
If this were ancient times, Jingwu would definitely be considered a matriarch, the kind of matriarch who controls the overall situation.
If a family has such a person, then that family will never fall into ruin.
That's called vision, that's called having magnanimity. Shura is quite capable when it comes to taking charge.
"Can you handle it? Putting everything else aside, just look at the Lei family's mess. Apart from the old man, can you manage it?" Lei Jingwu's mother looked at him.
Lei Jingwu didn't speak, he just nodded.
He definitely can't do it! As long as Yao Shula can do it, that's fine!
"Hmm, she seems pretty capable! Besides that, is there anything else?" Lei Jingwu asked with a smile.
"Yes! Shura is pretty too! Look at her eyes, I've never seen eyes that are prettier than hers!"
Also, she knows how to educate children. Look how well her younger siblings are being taught by her!
She managed to teach even a little devil like Xiaotian to behave so well. Isn't that a testament to her ability?
"Are you sure you can do it? You say one sentence a day, but there will be eight sentences waiting for you every day!" Lei Jingwu's mother said bluntly.
Lei Jingwu...
The key point is that he talks like this to everyone except Yao Shula every day, oh, except for those two old men.
"What's wrong with that? Maybe she's just naturally attractive to children! Isn't that a function that usually only women have?" Lei Jingwu retorted with a smile.
"What's wrong with that? It just shows that they know how to educate their children and raise them to be good adults."
Education is the foundation of a nation's long-term development—didn't you know that!
"Any family with someone like that would be burning incense in gratitude! Jingwu, admitting that Shura is better than you isn't shameful." Lei Jingwu's mother rolled her eyes at Lei Jingwu.
Lei Jingwu...
"Mom, I'm your own son!" Lei Jingwu reminded her.
“Yes! I know! I gave birth to you, of course I know! I’m not denying it! That’s why I know you’re not good enough for him!” Lei Jingwu’s mother said frankly.
"Mom, am I not good enough?" Lei Jingwu was also a little unhappy.
He's not bad at all! If he weren't, would Yao Shula have agreed to be friends with him? Wouldn't that mean Yao Shula has terrible taste?
"You? Oh, what else do you know besides making some money? Oh, and you do look decent enough to fool people!" Lei Jingwu's mother said bluntly.
Lei Jingwu was completely speechless.
What do you mean he has nothing to offer besides making money? Oh, the only thing worth looking at is his face.
"Mom, I'm your own son!" Lei Jingwu reminded her again.
"I know! There was no mistake back then. You and your dad are cut from the same mold, it would be difficult for them to be switched at birth!"
Mom was just saying that. You might be okay in other people's eyes, but you're the eldest grandson of the Lei family. With a family like that, you're bound to be successful in the future.
But in Shura's eyes, this kid only has a face to fool people; everything else... is worse than nothing!
"Don't worry, son! Mom won't force you and Shura to be a couple. You're not worthy!" Lei Jingwu's mother patted her son's arm.
Lei Jingwu clicked his tongue in disapproval.
Mom's really getting into the role!
"Mom, now that I think about it, Yao Shula seems pretty good. Her eyes are indeed beautiful!" Lei Jingwu finally confirmed his mother's statement.
Lei Jingwu's mother felt a surge of excitement.
It seems that using reverse psychology does work!
"So what? She won't like you anyway, and you can't win her over. I've already thought it through. Once we get back to Shanghai, I'll recognize Shula as my goddaughter."
Even if she's not my biological daughter, it's still great to have her as my goddaughter!
"Jingwu, don't mess around! Shura is a decent girl, not the kind of person who would play games with you. Don't waste her time." Lei Jingwu's mother quickly shook her head.
"Mom, I only realized how good she is after hearing what you said!" Lei Jingwu sighed.
