Living in a small county town, earning a million a year

Chapter 116 Angry Rebuke of Biological Father (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
"..."

"Xiao Mu, listen to me! I really am your father! I am your biological father!"

Zhou Bingsheng quickly spoke up, afraid that Xu Mu would hang up the phone again!

"My name is Zhou Bingsheng, and I am truly your biological father!"

“I don’t have a biological father. My biological father was killed in a car accident! I only have my adoptive parents, Ye Pingfan and Xu Ping.”

Xu Mu's voice was calm, but you could still hear the resentment in his words!

Moreover, he harbors extremely deep resentment!

“Xiao Mu, I know it was a mistake for your mother and me to leave you at the gate of the orphanage back then... but we had our own unspeakable reasons back then…”

"Shut up!" Xu Mu growled. "Don't say such hypocritical things. You're disgusting, but I'm even more disgusted!"

"What do you mean by 'unspeakable difficulties'? If you had unspeakable difficulties, why didn't you just abort the child back then? Why did you choose to give birth? No matter what, I am a piece of flesh that you carried for ten months and that fell from your belly!"

"Oh... you think you can make up for the mistakes you made back then with just one unspeakable excuse? Do you think the whole world belongs to you? You think I'll forgive you just because you give me an explanation for your unspeakable excuse?"

"..."

Zhou Bingsheng couldn't help but sigh, but still forced himself to say, "I know it's no use saying anything now! Because a mistake was made back then, and Dad apologizes to you, I'm sorry... But now Dad wants to make up for the mistakes we made back then, can you give me a chance?"

"I can't give it to you! This kind of mistake can't be fixed just by saying you'll make amends!"

"I am very happy and content now, and I don't need another set of parents!"

"Xiao Mu!" Zhou Bingsheng said coldly, "Did Ye Pingfan and Xu Ping say something to you that made you harbor such resentment towards us?"

"My parents urged me to acknowledge you as my parents! So don't use your naive ideas to judge them! Understand? They haven't said anything!"

Xu Mu paused for a moment, then continued, "My dad told me that you offered him five million to make up for all the years they raised him! But do you think five million can make up for it? Do you think money is everything? Twenty-odd years, five million... is that a lot?"

"If they hadn't wanted to adopt me, my parents would probably be incredibly wealthy by now! You tell me, that's less than 200,000 a year, do you think that's enough? Not to mention, my parents don't even want your dirty money! So, don't bother them, and don't try to judge them with your filthy thoughts!"

"They are good, very, very good, unlike couples like you who abandoned your son!"

"It's true that you have money, but what's the use of money? What have you given me all these years? Do you know what I lacked most growing up? It's the love of my parents..."

"you do not know."

“I grew up in an orphanage until I was six years old. I was bullied by the other children there! I was beaten until I lay in the mud, and I would lie on the ground soaked in the rain. I wondered why I didn’t have a mom and dad? Were my mom and dad dead? That’s why I came to the orphanage…”

"Later, Grandma Huang told me that my parents had abandoned me at the gate of the orphanage. Oh... I realized that I actually had parents who weren't dead! If they weren't dead, why couldn't they raise me? Why did they abandon me at the gate of the orphanage!"

"You say you have some unspeakable difficulties, that you're struggling financially? In such difficult circumstances, how much can a baby eat? Huh? Answer me!"

"In the end, it's just that you yourselves didn't want me! Why are you acting so pitiful now, with some unspeakable secret? What kind of bullshit secret do you have? Do you even deserve it? Zhou Bingsheng... And don't think I don't know what you two said to my parents..."

"Based on my understanding of them, they don't normally get into conflicts with others. You must have said something really nasty to make them so angry... But even in this angry state, my dad just messaged me saying he wanted me to talk to you..."

"In that case, I feel there's no need to talk anymore!"

"..."

Zhou Bingsheng never expected Xu Mu to harbor such deep resentment!
It was so heavy that he couldn't even imagine it...

It wasn't that Xu Mu harbored deep resentment; it was just that Xu Mu was thinking, "If you don't bother me, everything is negotiable."

You just had to bother me and disgust me!

Not only are they disgusting me, but they're also going to disgust my parents... Do they think having a little money is a lot?
Even if someone is rich, can they be as rich as me?

"Xiao Mu..." Zhou Bingsheng said quickly when he saw Xu Mu was about to hang up the phone, "I know you are very resentful towards us right now, and we know we were wrong! We will call Ye Pingfan and his wife to apologize in a bit! As for the money, you don't need it, but we can't not give it... For the twenty years of raising us, I will give them ten million... no, twenty million!"

"Also, your mother, your older brother, your younger brother, and I are going to Tianji County to find you!"

"I've made plans with your parents. Let's sit down and talk tomorrow... Is that alright?"

I want to see you!

"..."

Xu Mu thought about it and finally agreed.

He didn't want to see Zhou Bingsheng and his wife, or those two brothers he'd never even met.

He just didn't want Ye Pingfan and Xu Ping to be caught in the middle and put in a difficult position!

After all, there are very few situations that can make parents angry, which means that when Zhou Bingsheng called his parents, he said a lot of unpleasant things, or things that made them uncomfortable!
That's why the two sides argued!

Xu Mu could understand; people like them would look down on their parents once they got rich!
Very normal!
So, if your parents say something wrong, they might explode!

However, Xu Mu felt that her parents were quite reasonable, especially her mother, who was a walking machine of reasoning.

She also rarely gets into conflicts with others.

"Then tomorrow night?"

"I came with your mother, your older brother, and your younger brother..."

"Understood!" Xu Mu nodded and said, "I will attend!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Mu sat in front of the computer...

Finally, he called Ye Pingfan again.

"Dad, are you asleep?"

"no!"

“Zhou Bingsheng just called me,” Xu Mu said simply. “I gave him a piece of my mind…”

Why are you yelling at him...?

Ye Pingfan was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Let's talk this out. There's no need to resort to insults!"

"I couldn't help it..."

Xu Mu said with a smile, "How many times did they call you?"

"Four times. What's wrong?"

"How many clashes occurred?"

"This……"

Before Ye Pingfan could speak, Xu Ping had already snatched the phone away. "Xiao Mu, I'm your mother."

"Mom," Xu Mu called out, "did he just tell you that we wouldn't let you acknowledge them?"

"No, not at all... He just asked me if I had said something to my dad that made me act so badly... and then I yelled at them! What did they say to you guys!"

“Zhou Bingsheng was alright, but his wife, Jin Suyuan, was really rude… She said we hadn’t raised you well, and then offered us five million, saying take it or leave it. Anyway, it made your father and me very angry. We may be poor, but we are not poor in spirit!”

“Giving us five million is like giving us charity… I can’t stand this kind of thing, and judging from Kim So-won’s tone, she can’t even bear to give us five million! We haven’t even asked for a hundred million yet! My own son, so now that you have money, you want to take away the son I raised with so much effort?”

"dream!"

When Xu Mu heard what Xu Mu said, he understood... It seems that his biological mother is not easy to deal with!

Moreover, once the family becomes wealthy, this kind of rich lady's temper comes out!

They completely forgot that they were once poor too.

People are always like this...

Xu Mu said with a smile, "Mom, what's there to be angry about?"

"But since Zhou Bingsheng has made an appointment for dinner, you and my dad will have to go through the trouble of coming back tomorrow!"

“Let’s sit down and have a meal together. I’ll book a private room at the Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel and we can chat… Of course, it would be best if they were willing to pay. I’ll extort 50 million or 100 million from them and give it to you to spend!”

"We don't need that much money!"

"Is there any money you can't spend?" Xu Mu said with a smile. "Why don't you buy a villa and live there!"

"I don't want Kim So-won to think we're people who just want money!"

“That’s different,” Xu Mu said with a smile. “I’ll ask, and I’ll see if they give it to me… at least they should show some sincerity, right?”

"Okay, Mom, don't worry about it! I'll handle it!"

"Drive back tomorrow afternoon. I'll arrange for you to have dinner together after I'm done with my work... And don't get angry with them. There's no need to. Getting angry will only make you sick!"

"Know it!"

"You should get some rest," Xu Ping said.

"understood."

Xu Mu hung up the phone and started typing on the keyboard.

At night, the sound of Xu Mu's keyboard clicking incessantly...

The date is September 11th.

Xu Mu was awakened by Ye Muling's movements!

I slept fairly well last night.

Ye Muling, dressed in her battle robes, allowed Xu Mu to perform exceptionally well... though his back was still a little sore.

"Get up!"

Ye Muling patted Xu Mu's head and said, "You worked hard last night!"

"You've all worked hard, so go back to sleep!"

"Aren't you busy? Besides, isn't your game development team supposed to arrive in Tianji County today? When will they arrive?"

"They bought plane tickets to Ningcheng this afternoon. I estimate they'll arrive in Ningcheng around 1 or 2 pm, and it'll take another two hours to get to Tianji County..."

"Not in a hurry!"

Xu Mu shook his head. Nothing much happened today...

Xu Mu spends all his time either working out or writing.

Or just go to sleep!

"Then you should get some rest. I'm getting up and going to work!"

Xu Mu didn't wake up until after 2 p.m.

I glanced at my phone and saw a few friend requests.

After that, one of the WeChat friends, whose WeChat name was Garlic Bird, sent a message: "Mr. Xu, I am the professional manager in our team. My name is Yu Miaomiao."

"I have led our team to Tianji County, and we are on our way..."

"We should arrive at Lingmu Design Company around 3:20!"

"Okay!" Xu Mu nodded. "Then I'll wait for you at Lingmu Design Company!"

Xu Mu rubbed her hair, got up, and took a shower.

He then got dressed and drove his Porsche 911 GT3 out the door.

Upon arriving in the new city, Xu Mu had a simple bowl of Lanzhou noodles.

Now that Xu Mu has money, he adds beef to his Lanzhou noodles. Before, he couldn't bear to add beef because it was expensive... A serving of beef costs ten yuan, and there are only a few slices.

A bowl of ramen that costs twelve yuan only contains a few pieces of beef, which Xu Mu felt was not cost-effective and never added!
This time, I just wanted to give it a try...

Unexpectedly, after adding beef...

We can't finish it... This beef looks like a small amount, and it really is, but it gets quite greasy if you eat too much of it.

After finishing her meal, Xu Mu went to Lingmu Design Company.

As soon as Xu Mu entered the company, she found that her parents had already arrived.

"Dad, Mom, how come you got here so quickly?"

“We arrived this morning! I’ve already quit my job in Ningcheng, and your dad has given his work to your uncle! Your uncle has taken good care of you over the years, so all the work he did before is now attributed to him!”

"We had nothing to do right now, so we set off early, had lunch here, and are resting here now!"

Seeing Xu Mu enter, Xu Ping smiled and explained.

“Okay.” Xu Mu nodded. “Then come and sit in my office.”

"By the way, Mom, would you like some milk tea?"

"I'll order you a drink!"

"Sure, I'd like to drink the mango pomelo sago..."

"Row!"

Xu Mu opened the mini-program and ordered more than forty cups of milk tea from Gu Ming next door, asking them to deliver them over.

There are now forty or fifty people in the company, sitting together in a crowded manner, and the public area on the second floor that was originally used for business negotiations and contract signing has been turned into an office area!
"Looks like we need to hurry up with the renovations for the new office! I didn't expect our office to become so crowded so quickly!"

Xu Mu couldn't help but sigh, "Things are developing so fast!"

Xu Mu had anticipated that after the press conference, the company's brand awareness would increase, and traffic and business would grow.

But the increase was unexpectedly large... and after they invested heavily in promoting Douyin, the organic traffic on Douyin has now picked up. As long as they update videos every day, they get hundreds of thousands of likes, although most of them are from older, more sexually active people, but quite a few clients still come to inquire...

If you can close a deal with one or two out of a hundred inquiries, that's already pretty good.

It has a very high conversion rate.

After waiting in the office for a while, Xu Mu received a call from Yu Miaomiao.

It's a woman!
The professional manager turned out to be a woman, and Xu Mu had no idea how capable she was.

"Mr. Xu, we've arrived at the entrance of Lingmu Design Company!"

"I'll come out to meet you!"

As Xu Mu walked out of the company, she saw a minibus parked at the entrance.

Eleven people walked down from above.

"Mr. Xu!"

The leader was a capable woman in her thirties!

She smiled and stepped forward, shaking hands with Xu Mu, "Yu Miaomiao!"

"Nice meeting!"

"Hello!"

"This is the team that Mr. Wan recruited for me?"

"Yes, let me introduce you..."

"This is a game engineer who came from Tencent. He's a team leader with expertise in various areas and even participated in the development of Honor of Kings..."

"Who is this……"

Yu Miaomiao introduced them to Xu Mu one by one.

Xu Mu shook hands with them one by one!
"This is a design company, owned by my sister!"

“Drive straight ahead to the end, turn right, and you’ll see the Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel… I’ve booked rooms for you there. You’ll be staying at the Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel for the time being, and you’ll be working in the conference room at the Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel.”

"You all probably bring your own food, right?"

"I brought everything!" Yu Miaomiao said with a smile. "Then will you lead the way?"

"Row!"

Xu Mu got into the Porsche 911 GT3 parked by the roadside and drove ahead to lead the way.

Their minibus then followed Xu Mu to the Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel. After parking the bus, Xu Mu invited them into the hotel.

Then the room was booked.

It was swiped using a shareholder card.

Xu Mu doesn't usually spend much when he comes here, just eats. To be honest, it's hard to spend a million... and he doesn't eat out very often. So, a million a year is an average of more than three thousand a day. In reality, it's already pretty impressive that Xu Mu can spend 100,000 a month!

Is this the best hotel in Tianji County?

Yu Miaomiao looked at it for a moment and asked curiously.

"It's...the most awesome hotel ever!"

"Four-star!" Xu Mu said with a smile. "I happen to be a shareholder here, so I arranged for you to come here... Otherwise, the Ramada across the street would be nice too."

"Is Mr. Xu that capable?"

"It's alright, I'm just doing a small business... it's just that I'm personally more interested in games!"

Xu Mu said with a smile, "I'm actually quite similar to you guys. I write novels, and you guys code."

"It's all about typing!"

"Oh?" A guy named Jin Shan's eyes lit up when he heard that Xu Mu was writing a novel. "What kind of novel is President Xu writing?"

"let me see?"

"I usually enjoy reading novels after get off work."

“From Qidian, ‘Earning a Million a Year in a Small County’”.

"Ah, you wrote this book?" Jin Shan looked at Xu Mu in shock and asked, "I often see it on the bestseller list on Qidian. I wasn't interested at first, but after taking a look, I found that the author was really into it, talking about buying Xiaomi SU7s and stuff like that... But later I found it really enjoyable to read. I didn't expect it was written by you?"

"You're so busy every day, how do you find time to write?"

"I definitely have time to write," Xu Mu said with a smile, "but it's mostly at night..."

"You can write 10,000 words in one night? I've seen you updating with 10,000 words a day lately! That's incredible!"

"I have drafts saved up!" Xu Mu laughed and didn't dwell on the topic.

After checking into the room, Xu Mu handed them the room key, saying, "Everything's done!"

“You’ve all been staying here recently.”

"I have another dinner engagement tonight, and I'll arrange for someone to come over and treat you all to dinner! We'll talk about the company's development and short-term plans. Tomorrow, I'll give you the plan and detailed ideas for our first game; you can just follow my ideas to get started..."

"Row!"

They each took their room keys and went upstairs; Xu Mu didn't see them off.

Instead, he called Wang Mengyan.

"Mengyan, after you and Ruofei get off work, come to the Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel and help me greet the guests!"

"The game development team from Kyoto, the people I recruited!"

"I'll treat them to dinner tonight, then arrange for a few guys to get a foot massage at Duolan, and the girls can go to karaoke or a beauty salon..."

"You and Ruofei can handle the arrangements. If it's inconvenient to wash their feet... let me think, I'll find one of my friends to take them there!"

“Let’s find Brother Tong Wu!” Wang Mengyan suggested. “Brother Tong Wu is obsessed with dating now. All I see on his WeChat Moments are photos of him with other people. They’re either eating together or going out together… He’s living a very happy life.”

"Let Brother Tong Wu come over for a cameo tonight."

“That works too…” Xu Mu nodded. “I’ll contact him later!”

If Wang Mengyan hadn't mentioned it, Xu Mu would have almost forgotten about Tong Wu.

That's what good brothers are like... When you think of them, you're incredibly close; when you don't think of them, you can still contact them if you suddenly remember them. Your relationship won't grow distant just because you haven't been in touch for a long time.

This is what friendship between men is like...

After hanging up, Xu Mu called Tong Wu again.

"Hey, Xiao Wu, what are you doing?"

"I'm home, what's up, bro?"

"You probably didn't have a date with Cao Yifei tonight, right?"

“No, she has to work overtime…” Tong Wu shook his head and said, “What’s wrong, brother? Just tell me! If there’s anything, just tell your brother.”

"I have a few friends from Kyoto who work on a game development team. I'd like you to come over for dinner tonight. After dinner, could you take them to Dolan for a foot massage or to a karaoke bar and arrange some pretty girls for them?"

"Brother, I'm in a relationship right now. If Cao Yifei finds out I'm messing around outside, she'll kill me!" Tong Wu quickly explained. "Eating is fine, but asking me to do this is out of the question..."

"Do you have any suitable ones on your end... Hey!"

Xu Mu suddenly thought of someone else!

Wang Qiang!

Damn it, Xu Mu isn't like before, unable to find a suitable person.

Wang Qiang is a good fit!

Wang Qiang is currently single, so these are the places that suit him best!
"Okay, okay..." Xu Mu quickly said, "I won't bother you with your love life anymore. I wish you a long and happy marriage. I've thought of someone suitable!"

"Okay, bro..." Tong Wu said with a smile, "Let's grab a meal after you're done with your work!"

"Row."

Xu Mu called Wang Qiang again, and Wang Qiang answered quickly.

"Come and eat!"

"We're counting turtles at the factory. A big brother came today, ready to pack up 800,000 yuan worth of goods. We're counting them right now... We're going to invite them to dinner tonight!"

“Come to Kaiyuan Taihe!” Xu Mu said. “I have a dinner engagement tonight. After dinner, have President Wang take them to a foot massage parlor. You can do me a favor…”

Xu Mu recounted what had just happened to Wang Qiang again!
"Okay! I'll let Mr. Wang and Mr. Bao know!"

"After you've finished talking and counting, hurry over!"

"Ok!"

With Wang Qiang around, Xu Mu felt much more relaxed.

Moreover, if guests are at the farm, Xu Mu can take some time to go over, chat, and offer a toast.

Although Xu Mu is now quite wealthy, as a customer who comes to spend money, the service that should be given to a god should still be provided.

Around four o'clock, Xu Mu's phone rang.

"Xiao Mu, Zhou Bingsheng and his wife have arrived with their two sons!"

"He said he wanted to see you..."

Xu Mu glanced at the time and said, "I'm at the Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel. You can have them come directly here! You, my mom, and my sister can come too!"

“Even if you just want to chat, come directly to Kaiyuan Taihe to talk.”

"I'm about to host some friends here!"

"Okay...I'll tell them!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Mu sat in the lobby, but her emotions were not as calm as she had imagined.

Because Xu Mu had never met her biological parents since she was a child.

My memory of my biological parents is practically nonexistent...

From childhood to adulthood, only Ye Pingfan and Xu Ping have been by his side.

Therefore, Xu Mu had already regarded them as her own parents.

Of course, the memories of the orphanage still exist... because Xu Mu can remember the memories from the age of three to six, but she really doesn't have any impression of what happened before the age of three... but vaguely, she can always recall a little bit, which is about Grandma Huang.

But at that time, Xu Mu couldn't read and didn't know what they were saying.

Xu Mu sat on the sofa in the lobby for a while, smoking a cigarette.

Then, a rustling sound came from the front gate.

"Holy crap, this Porsche 911 GT3 is so cool! Damn, that huge rear wing, it must be the coolest Porsche model currently on sale, right?"

"Bro, look, there's even a Ferrari 488 Pista! I didn't expect to find such a luxury car in a small county town. And they're all parked in the same spot. Could it be that some rich kid bought them?"

"I guess so... It's not unusual for rich kids to buy this kind of car, after all, it really is very cool..."

"..."

Xu Mu turned her head and saw Ye Pingfan and Xu Ping walking in with two middle-aged men and women.

Zhou Bingsheng was wearing a suit and had the air of someone in a superior position.

Similar to Tang Mochen.

However, Zhou Bingsheng has more of a businessman's temperament.

Kim So-won, standing next to Zhou Bingsheng, was wearing an expensive cheongsam... Although Xu Mu didn't know much about cheongsams, he could tell from the material that it wasn't cheap.

Of course, compared to Zhou Bingsheng and his wife, Ye Pingfan and Xu Ping were much more ordinary. However, Ye Muling stayed by Xu Ping's side, holding Xu Ping's hand.

Her attire made the couple look much more upscale.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Mu turned his gaze to the two young men following at the very back.

There was a young man about the same age as Xu Mu, and another who looked to be around twenty-eight years old... in any case, no more than thirty.

This must be Zhou Mulin.

My younger brother's name is Zhou Musen.

Xu Mu had heard Ye Pingfan say that his name should be Zhou Muxing.

Xu Mu was abandoned when she was ten months pregnant, because she was carrying Zhou Musen.

They chose to abandon the second child!

And yet she was unwilling to give up the third child in her womb... So, Xu Mu couldn't understand it, nor could she comprehend it... The third child hadn't even been born yet, and she chose to abandon the second child who was already born and give birth to the third child... Wasn't that just plain crazy?

Xu Mu didn't want to understand, nor did she want to comprehend...

This has already happened.

Of course, what Xu Mu noticed was that the Zhou brothers, Musen and Mulin, kept their eyes on Ye Muling's backside.

This made Xu Mu somewhat unhappy!

"Xiao Mu!"

Ye Pingfan called out.

Manager Wang Mu knew that Xu Mu was downstairs, so he waited at the front desk.

When she saw that guests had arrived, Xu Mu even stood up herself.

He immediately understood and hurried over to greet him...

"May……"

Xu Mu glanced at Wang Mu, then gently waved his hand, not wanting Wang Mu to get closer.

Wang Mu is a shrewd person. Which manager here doesn't know how to read people's expressions?

He understood immediately.

Xu Mu doesn't want me to get involved!

"Dad, Mom," Xu Mu called out to Ye Pingfan and his wife.

"There are private rooms on the second floor. Let's go upstairs, sit down, and talk while we eat."

Xu Mu walked forward.

Zhou Bingsheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but for a moment he didn't know how to start...

"Damn, bro, my second brother seems pretty pretentious, huh?"

"It's normal. He's never met his biological parents and has been poor since he was a child. He doesn't know how to face this joy right now, so he pretended to be happy. You'll see in a moment... He'll definitely be eager to go home! After all, with our family's current situation, we're not rich, but we can definitely afford to eat our fill!"

Zhou Mulin looked at his younger brother beside him and said with a smile.

The three brothers are all two years apart.

When Xu Mu was ten months pregnant, Zhou Musen was only three months pregnant with Kim So-won.

One thing must be admitted: Zhou Bingsheng's ability to sow seeds is not bad.

She had three sons in a row.

That's pretty awesome.

If you weren't rich, you really couldn't afford to have that many children!
Moreover, in the past, people couldn't have sons and had to try their best to have more.

Zhou Bingsheng has now had two sons and wants to have more...

Upon arriving at the private room on the second floor, Xu Mu sat in the main seat.

The waiter recognized Xu Mu. Xu Mu simply waved his hand, and the waiter understood. The whole action was done in one smooth motion.

"sit down."

Xu Mu glanced at Zhou Bingsheng.

Once they were all seated, Xu Mu's gaze fell on Zhou Mulin and Zhou Musen.

Then, he said calmly, "Mr. Zhou, it seems your upbringing isn't very good either? Don't you know the basic principles of proper posture?"

"You come in, plop down, cross your legs, and shake them on someone else's chair? Do you think that's polite?"

Zhou Bingsheng hadn't expected Xu Mu to be so hostile the moment he sat down, and to immediately launch an attack...

This is clearly the same harsh thing Kim So-won said to Ye Pingfan on the phone that day!

It seems Xu Mu knew...

"None of your business!" Although Zhou Musen was young and ranked third among his siblings, his level of spoiled bratdom was even more exaggerated than his eldest brother's... He was a complete gangster!
Xu Mu squinted.

Before Xu Mu could speak, Zhou Bingsheng had already stood up, walked up to Zhou Musen, and slapped him across the face.

A crisp snap echoed in the tea room.

"Damn it, he's your second brother! How dare you talk to him like that? What's it to you? Why shouldn't it be his business? Is there a problem with your second brother disciplining you?"

Zhou Musen was dumbfounded.

He never expected that his father would hit him.

"Dad, why are you hitting me? This poor boy hasn't even agreed to come back to our house yet! He's nothing now. Even if he were your son, he'd be a down-on-his-luck young master! How could he be more important than me, his own son?"

Zhou Musen raised his head, looked at his father, and said pitifully and aggrievedly.

"Damn it, whether he's a fallen young master or not, he's still your second brother! That's an undeniable fact... Are you still going to argue with me? Do you want to get beaten up?"

"..."

Zhou Musen immediately shut up!
Seeing this, Xu Mu smiled and looked at Zhou Bingsheng, saying, "Mr. Zhou, it seems that not only is your family upbringing poor, but you don't even know the most basic respect for elders! I don't know how you educate your children, but at least I know that I should greet my elders when I see them!"

"Let me guess, when they met my parents, did they not even greet them?"

"Don't you even have the most basic manners?"
