Chapter 944 is usable
"You are a celebrity, and so popular. You can imagine how many people around your mother would want to get close to you through her."
Lin Suyang advised.
“It’s not that your mother didn’t do anything wrong. What I’m trying to say is that you should talk to your mother about these things properly. Did your mother often do this kind of thing before? I guess not, otherwise I would definitely know.”
Lin Suyang's words immediately calmed Li Zhibai down.
Because what Lin Suyang said was actually correct.
Li Zhibai's mother rarely did these things in the past.
“If this isn’t something your mother does often, it means she usually knows what’s important and doesn’t agree to things for just anyone. This time, she must be someone very close to you for her to personally bring people over,” Lin Suyang said. “But you just lost your temper in front of them. Put yourself in her shoes. Even if your mother was wrong, wouldn’t she feel embarrassed and hurt?”
"She was heartbroken because she did something like acting first and asking questions later."
“I didn’t say she did the right thing,” Lin Suyang said, “but did you have to point out her mistake in such a provocative and embarrassing way?”
Li Zhibai fell silent.
Seeing this, Lin Suyang knew that Li Zhibai had taken his words to heart.
He smiled and said, "Don't argue with your mother. What do you think you'll achieve by arguing with her? It'll just be either you surrendering to her or she surrendering to you. And knowing your temperament and personality, I believe you've had your mother surrender to you quite a few times growing up."
What Lin Suyang didn't say was—
Otherwise, you wouldn't have developed such a personality.
Li Zhibai sighed.
"Okay, I understand what you mean. I'll call her later."
"Yes, explain it properly and make things clear," Lin Suyang said. "Since you lost your temper this time, you need to let her know why you got angry, where the problem lies, whether this kind of thing can never be done again, or whether you should still give her some face, but her way of handling things should be changed. In short, you need to communicate well about many things."
Li Zhibai: "...This is really troublesome."
"Don't complain about the trouble. With your bad temper, I'm not afraid of you bothering me. You must have caused your mother a lot of trouble when you were a kid."
Li Zhibai: "...I'm the one who pays your salary, not my mom, right?"
Lin Suyang smiled.
"That's why I stand in your shoes, hoping to help you solve your problems and make you better, instead of saying things that seem to make you feel better but will actually only make your life worse," Lin Suyang said. "Believe me, except for some vicious parents, in most cases, arguing with your parents, becoming estranged, or having a cold war won't make you feel really better. It will only make you more upset and cause you to constantly drain your energy."
"Sometimes my mom can't be reasonable either."
"If you can't reason with her, is there any other way to calm her down?" Lin Suyang asked rhetorically. "You just want things to stay as simple and complicated as possible, so why try to reason with her? To be honest, you can't rely on reasoning with people, especially those close to you."
Li Zhibai fell into deep thought.
“I’m not telling you to give in every time, let me make this clear, but in this situation, I think you should probably be the first to back down, apologize, and explain to your mother why you couldn’t agree. That should calm her down,” Lin Suyang said. “There are many things she won’t understand unless you tell her. The three of you treated this concert as a memento, but your mother might not know that in her mind, concerts always have guest performers. Helping her best friend’s daughter get a guest performer opportunity isn’t really asking you to do anything. You need to learn to put yourself in her shoes. Something might seem inexplicable to you, but it might not seem so to someone else. Especially in your mother’s mind, you’re her son, so helping her with this is only natural.”
"Alright, alright, stop nagging." Li Zhibai waved his hand, signaling Lin Suyang to stop talking. "This is never going to end."
"He's yelling again." Lin Suyang looked at Li Zhibai helplessly.
"You keep a dog, and it keeps barking." Li Zhibai rolled his eyes.
Lin Suyang was speechless.

The number of downloads and users of the overseas version of Aurora Video has surged in recent days.
Of these, over 80% of the downloads and registrations were for Lu Yanhe and his two friends' concert.
Even Malaysian television stations approached them, inquiring about purchasing the broadcasting rights.
Peng Zhixing's book, "Zhixing," includes a behind-the-scenes interview.
He led his photography team out of the studio and into Lu Yanhe's rehearsal room to film their rehearsal. They then sat down together for an interview.
There weren't even chairs or tables; they just sat on the floor in the rehearsal hall.
The overall atmosphere was very relaxed.
"Whose idea was it to hold this concert?" This was the first question Peng Zhixing asked.
"To be precise, we had this idea a long time ago. Yan Liang has always hoped that we could have a joint performance stage. However, since the three of us seem to have a much greater talent for acting than for the stage, we mainly focus our time and energy on acting. After I finished filming 'Men in Black' this year, I was taking a break and didn't take on any roles. So I thought, why don't I take charge of preparing for this?"
Lu Yanhe said with a smile.
Li Zhibai nodded, "Mainly because he's the busiest among us. If he doesn't have time, it definitely won't work. But if he does have time, Yan Liang and I can just squeeze in some time."
"Get lost." Lu Yanhe didn't even turn his head, and immediately launched into a tirade of profanities.
Li Zhibai: "You've all seen how bad Lu Dapai's temper is, haven't you? Don't say I have a bad temper anymore, there's someone even worse here."
Yan Liang said speechlessly, "Why are you acting like you've taken some kind of drug today? You're as excited as a dog wanting to go out."
Lu Yanhe burst into laughter.
Li Zhibai: "Your mouth is like it's been smeared with poison, so vicious."
Lu Yanhe said to Peng Zhixing, "Ignore him and keep asking your questions."
Peng Zhixing laughed and said, "No need, I just enjoy watching you guys tease each other. It's funny. After knowing each other for so many years, our vocabulary hasn't become less and less rich; on the contrary, it's become richer and richer. I always feel that it's especially interesting when you guys are together."
Lu Yanhe: "Sigh, sometimes I miss the time when we first met, when we weren't so familiar with each other yet."
"You shouldn't reminisce about it. You were practically nonexistent back then," Li Zhibai retorted.
Lu Yanhe glanced sideways.
“That’s right, just like you. More than ten years have passed, and you haven’t changed at all. You’re still just as annoying as ever,” Lu Yanhe said. “It’s a good thing you were born into a good family and have your family protecting you. Otherwise, you would have been beaten up countless times by now.”
Yan Liang: "He has a problem."
“This is an interview about our concert, so please don’t point your fingers at me, okay?” Li Zhibai immediately said, “We’ve filmed so much, but none of it is usable.”
Peng Zhixing immediately smiled and said, "No, you can use that part. I will use it exactly as it is in the final cut."
