Chapter 380 This guy is so damn stupid, could he like me?
"My son, that must be born with the lover."
Mrs. Shen said this with a smile, then picked up the pen again and began to draw on the paper nonchalantly.
Lian Mubai frowned, his mind racing, but he still couldn't figure out what Madam Shen said.
"The real Shen Chong died, and here comes a substitute. What on earth are you playing?"
Old Madam Shen glanced at him and sneered, "Someone has to deal with that stepmother, right? I don't want to, and I don't want my lover to call that woman mother."
"..." Lian Mubai simply didn't understand.
Mrs. Shen continued to paint, but kindly explained to Lian Mubai:
"A body double can help me avoid some unnecessary troubles, and it won't take away the time my lover spends with me. If he always behaves well, then I don't mind keeping him."
"Even if he has a mistress outside, I don't care. But you should never, ever want to take that child back."
Lian Mubai: "So, the substitute also died later. It was your doing."
Old Madam Shen did not answer, but it was also a tacit agreement.
She has never been a little white flower who can be manipulated by anyone, whether in other time and space or here.
Lian Mubai was silent for a moment, then laughed: "Although it sounds absurd, it is indeed something you would do."
Therefore, the two Shen Chongs have always been pawns in Old Madam Shen's plan to be with her lover.
After all, from the perspective of outsiders who are difficult to control, "family members" are easier to control.
Old Madam Shen didn't care what outsiders said. Her purpose of marrying Shen Chong was to let him block other people who wanted to marry Shen Que, so that she could stay with the one she loved.
"You and Meng Zhiyi are not much better. Why am I the villain and you are the heroes?!"
Lian Mubai was not convinced.
Madam Shen sneered: "Don't compare me with you. Shen Chong's death was not caused by me. He was sick to begin with."
He had congenital heart disease. In the second month after arriving at the Shen family, he wanted to show off his status as a rich young man, so he hung out with a group of bad friends, which triggered his illness and led to his death.
When this happened, her stepmother was still traveling around.
Lian Mubai: “…”
He laughed angrily.
I originally thought that I could find some similarities between them and myself, so that I would not be an outlier.
As a result, he asked these unnecessary questions!
Thinking of this, Lian Mubai stood up and went out.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be angry to death.
After seeing him leave, Mrs. Shen sighed and continued to paint her own picture.
At sunset, Mrs. Shen's painting was finally completed. It was a sketch of a seascape.
She read it with satisfaction and then put it casually on the table.
In a blink of an eye, two days passed.
They also successfully entered the polar region, the temperature dropped sharply, and Lian Mubai also sent warm clothes.
"We'll be there tomorrow. Have you thought about leaving any last words?" Lian Mubai's tone was very flat, and no emotion could be heard in his voice.
Old Madam Shen was gesturing with her warm clothes on her body. After hearing this, she turned around and looked at him, smiling, "You should be the one preparing your will."
Lian Mubai's expression froze and he stood there without moving, but there was a hint of obsession in the look he gave Old Madam Shen.
After a while, he suddenly smiled.
When Old Madam Shen was puzzled, she heard him continue, "It's okay if you don't want to stay. When I regain sovereignty, I will extract your soul and leave this little world."
"Just like before, let you live in every little world, forever."
"Don't worry, I won't leave you alone."
"I'll keep you company."
This time, Lian Mubai turned around and left after he finished speaking, not giving Madam Shen any chance to refute.
Anyway, he has memorized all the sarcastic remarks and ridicules she has made towards him over the years!
So it doesn't matter if she doesn't listen. Anyway, when I get control of the Space-Time Bureau, she won't have any control over it!
They have time to slowly rebuild their relationship!
Madam Shen frowned when she heard this. She turned around to look at Lian Mubai's leaving back, and a doubt slowly emerged in her mind.
This guy is so damn stupid, could he like me?
Thinking of this, Madam Shen looked down at herself, stretched out her wrinkled hands, and her expression became even more complicated.
She is old!
Over seventy years old!
This person is really sick!
No, it's a pervert!

At that time, the polar ice sheet.
Meng Zhiyi stood on the roof, staring at the wind and snow and looking through a telescope at the endless ice field.
After finding nothing, she put down the binoculars and sighed, "I wonder how grandma is doing? Can she handle drifting on the sea for so long? And Lian Mubai, will he treat grandma harshly?"
The housekeeper reached out to brush the snow off her shoulders and whispered, "No."
Meng Zhiyi was puzzled: "Why are you so sure?"
The butler paused, then slowly retracted his hand and whispered, "Because he likes your grandmother."
“…”
"???"
“!!!!”
"ha?"
For a moment, Meng Zhiyi's brain went into a state of panic.
no.
This information is quite shocking.
The housekeeper glanced at the changing expression on Meng Zhiyi's face, chuckled and asked, "Are you surprised?"
"This is no longer something that can be described with just the word 'surprise'. This is simply a horror story, isn't it?" Meng Zhiyi shook his head and said, "Didn't Xiao Ba say that it is very difficult for your system to awaken human consciousness?"
"Why, besides you, there is another Lian Mubai?"
"I don't know either. Maybe it's because Lian Mubai and I are both high-authority systems?" The butler said, and after thinking for a while, he continued, "Upgrading to a high-authority system is a very long process. During this period, you will be bound to different hosts and upgrade by accumulating points through tasks."
"There are two types of tasks in the system. One is to incarnate into a character in the small world and assist the task target in achieving the achievement. The other is to bind the tasker and assist the tasker in completing the task issued by the main god."
"Perhaps it's because the lady's popularity is too strong, or perhaps I have slowly awakened over the long years."
"Of course, Lian Mubai is different. He was separated from the Lord God."
At this point, the butler turned his head to look at Meng Zhiyi beside him and said softly, "Binding your Xiao Ba is only one step away from upgrading to a high-authority system."
Hearing this, Meng Zhiyi blinked and touched his nose awkwardly.
Xiao Ba has complained to her more than once.
Now not only has its integral been reset to zero, it has also become a negative number.
Seeing her guilty look, the housekeeper smiled dotingly and continued, "Before you showed up, Lian Mubai was already in that small world. He was supposed to be your grandmother's target."
"But a lot of things happened later. Your grandmother refused to carry out the mission because I violated the rules and stayed in that world. This caused Lian Mubai to wake up and have the idea of replacing me."
"Perhaps others cannot understand his operation, but as someone who has worked with him for tens of thousands of years, how can I not see it?"
