My Life with Narration

Chapter 696: Chapter 687: Mom, Dad, You Two Don’t Want My Sister to Find Out About This, Right?

"Son, your mom and I are just fooling around, don’t take it too seriously, okay?"

"Exactly, exactly, your dad is being cheeky. I’ll find a time to teach him a lesson. Just pretend you didn’t see anything!"

At this point, Old Su and his wife Zhou Hui were sitting upright on the sofa, their backs straight as a rod, with an awkward expression hard to hide on their faces. Although they were talking, their toes were already curling against the floor.

It was too embarrassing. Being caught in such a situation by their son, how could they maintain any parental authority? Right now, they only wished for their son to forget about this, then quickly leave.

After all, making mistakes in front of your child is quite embarrassing, especially in such an absurd manner.

At this moment, the two of them didn’t have any parental authority at all, instead, they seemed a bit like children who had done something wrong; the roles had reversed.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing’s forehead furrowed with blue veins forming a cross, holding a towel in his hand, he sneered, "Dad, Mom, you two... really know how to have fun!"

Zhou Hui: ...

Su Hongye: ...

Seriously, the son works so hard for the family, enduring hardships and offending people, working tirelessly, worrying endlessly about this family. Meanwhile, these two are at home playing around. How does this even make sense?

He’s only 23, shouldn’t the parents be at the forefront tackling dragons and I, the son, enjoy the fruits of victory behind?

But now, he earns the family’s money, handles the affairs, and even does the tasks that offend people. Su Qing felt this pressure was not something he should bear at his age.

Other kids aim for their father to become successful while they stay home as rich second generations, driving luxury cars, wearing luxury watches, frequenting high-end entertainment venues, and picking up girls at colleges.

And his parents aim for their son to be successful, and succeed! Meanwhile, they drive cars, wear watches, and even engage in playful activities at home that can only be seen in upscale KTVs. Tsk tsk, what a big heart they must have!

"Not really that skilled at having fun, just somewhat skilled!"

"Uh... it’s just your dad who’s skilled at playing around, mom isn’t!"

Old Su: ???

Weren’t you the one who brought it up first? How did it all become my fault now?

Zhou Hui: →_→

Stop rambling. If you dare to utter a single word unfavorable to me, you’ll see what happens.

Old Su: ...

Under his wife’s powerful influence, the head of the household gave in, submitted, and acknowledged his ’crime’. Yes, indeed, I did it, whatever, it was all my fault, so what?

Seeing Old Su’s expression of heroic sacrifice, Su Qing couldn’t help but find it a little amusing, but he also understood. After all, his father was a university teacher, someone who values reputation a lot, and this was a great challenge to his dignity.

At this moment, Old Su had lost all dignity in his eyes.

"Fine, you really are something. Your son works tirelessly outside, tongue fights with scholars to clear obstacles for our family, while the two of you play at home. Is it really ’a mother never worries when her son travels a thousand miles’?" Su Qing replied.

Upon hearing this, his mom Zhou Hui lifted her head and weakly said, "Actually... mainly your dad isn’t worried, your mom is still very concerned about you."

Su Qing: ...

Su Hongye: ...

Alright, Old Su was utterly stunned by his wife’s backstab. Who was just having so much fun a moment ago?

"Ahem, let’s put this matter to rest. Son, tell us, how did today’s resolution go?"

While speaking, Old Su even poured him a glass of water, his eyes full of pleading, hoping to move away from this topic, didn’t you see your dad almost drilling a hole in the floor?

At this, Su Qing couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Such a grown-up person, embarrassed after doing it, taking the glass and sipping a bit before speaking while sitting on the chair:

"I’ve basically completed the task."

"Basically?"

"What task?"

"A grand gesture of eliminating personal ties for the greater good!"

Zhou Hui: ???

Ignoring his mom’s clueless expression, Su Qing continued: "I went to see my aunt’s relative’s child today, the situation is mild. If a fine is paid, he can be released early, at most staying in for about half a month. However, my cousin’s kid is a bit more troublesome.

First, his situation is more serious, and secondly... his family can’t afford to pay. If judged, he might have to stay in for about a year."

Upon hearing him talk about serious matters, their expressions became more earnest. Hearing this, Old Su rubbed his chin, squinting for a while before speaking:

"They didn’t ask you for help?"

"How could they not, they asked me for money."

"What? Money!! No way, we can’t give any more money!"

Upon hearing it would be from their pocket, Zhou Hui immediately disagreed. After all, she already felt heartache over a thousand gold coins they couldn’t recover. If they lent more, she might not be able to take it.

After all, she’s not earning money, that thousand was enough to buy a lot of things, just for living expenses, it could sustain the family for quite a while.

"Don’t worry, I’m not stupid, how could I make the same mistake twice? First, my aunt asked me for money to help my cousin get a lighter sentence and get out early. When I refused, she suggested I help their family pay off the online loans. I didn’t agree to any of it and directly told her we wouldn’t ask for the thousand yuan back. You should have seen her face at that moment," Su Qing said with a laugh.

The truth is, to begin with, his aunt never planned to return that thousand yuan, meaning they counted it as in their pocket, now using it to shut them up, joy would be surprising.

"That simple?" Old Su was a bit incredulous, knowing these relatives well and the hassle they could cause, having known them for so long.

"How could it be, I just mentioned the result. The process... was a little bit intense, to say the least, it wasn’t pleasant!" Su Qing recounted with a smile, detailing everything that happened at the detention center.

Upon hearing this, Comrade Old Su nodded: "Hmm, this way, it sounds about right."

Meanwhile, Zhou Hui was already blue in the face: "What kind of people are they, how can they act like this with borrowed money? If I had known, I shouldn’t have lent that thousand, such bad luck!"

"Son, what do you think about this?"

Su Qing: "I don’t want to think about it, and I fear this isn’t over yet. My aunt’s family is in a tough situation, they won’t give up easily, they might come to our house again.

Mom and Dad, I’ve paved the way for you two, and it wasn’t a pleasant confrontation. If they can still scrape money from you, I would be greatly disappointed.

Also, neither of you want what happened just now to be known by my sister, right?"

Old Su and Zhou Hui: (ΩДΩ)

A threat, an outright threat, not that he wanted to, but underestimated his aunt’s brashness; she’d do anything for her son.

Better to give them a heads-up. He knows Old Su and his mom well. Their stern words might work on someone with decency. Showing a willingness to refuse would let it go, but confronting a hard-liner, being relatives, they might hold back from cutting ties, and that’s why Old Su had him face the first wave.

"Son, rest assured, mom will adhere to her principles this time, absolutely won’t give in!"

"Yes, I’ll supervise your mom!"

Zhou Hui: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

"Do I need your supervision? Better mind your own business!"

Seeing the two seemingly scared by his threat, Su Qing nodded with satisfaction, after all, the two seniors in the family still cared a lot about their dignity.

Having none left in front of the son, they couldn’t let the daughter know as well.

After hanging around at home a bit longer and discussing some strategies with Old Su, Su Qing returned home as he didn’t stay the night at home yesterday, he had to check on his CEO girlfriend today.

While Shen Yi hadn’t returned yet, Su Qing prepared a couple of home-cooked dishes, washed fruit, and waited for his wife to return.

He pondered for a while and suddenly noticed a towel, which made him itch to give it a try.

At six in the evening, Shen Yi came home a bit late. As soon as she opened the door, a blindfolded man lunged at her, shouting:

"My love~~ my love, hehe, don’t run, let me see, ha, got you!"

Feeling he had grabbed an arm, Su Qing was overjoyed, he was about to pull her into his embrace when a voice almost made him pee a few drops in shock.

"Your love is right beside you, what now? Are you interested in your sister-in-law too?"

Su Qing: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a
