The Scum Gong’s Redemption Manual (Quick Transmigration) 91

Chapter 91

Mrs. Si was fifty-six years old this year, but she was exquisitely maintained and looked to be only in her early forties. Hearing her son’s words, she snorted and controlled herself to maintain her image and did not roll her eyes. “You’re allowed to bring people to the company time and again, but I’m not allowed to come to your place to have a look?”

“No…” Si Guiyan didn’t know what to say. In the end, he just said, “You should have told me earlier, so I could have gone out to pick you up.”

“No need.” Mrs. Si threw her bag into his arms and said, “It’s not like I haven’t been to this place before. Can I still not find my way? Why would I need you to pick me up?”

Si Guiyan was at a loss for words for a moment. Mrs. Si didn’t want to bother with him anymore and turned her head to look at Lu Ze, and immediately turned into a gentle and enthusiastic smile. “You must be Lu Ze, right? I’ve heard of you for a long time, but I’ve been playing abroad for a while and didn’t have time to see you. Now that I see you, you’re indeed good-looking.”

Lu Ze was a little surprised at Mrs. Si’s attitude, but on the surface, his smile was as gentle as usual, and his reply was appropriate and flawless. “You flatter me, madam. I didn’t know you were coming back in advance, otherwise I should have been the one to visit you first.”

Lu Ze’s posture was graceful, and with his outstanding appearance, Mrs. Si was very satisfied and nodded secretly.

Si Guiyan watched from the side and quickly said, “Mom, don’t stand outside. It’s hot. You should hurry up and come in.”

Mrs. Si completely ignored her own son and just looked at Lu Ze with a smile. “That’s right, that’s right. Hurry up and come in. Don’t get heatstroke outside!”

Lu Ze stepped aside and led Mrs. Si into the house. He led her to sit down by the sofa, pushed the washed strawberries on the coffee table in front of her, and was about to get up. “I haven’t prepared anything. You can eat some first. Shall I go and pour you a glass of water?”

“No hurry, no hurry.” Mrs. Si quickly held his hand and said with a chuckle, “You just sit down. Let’s have a chat.”

Lu Ze hesitated for a while, then still sat down beside her and said with a smile, “Please speak, madam.”

Si Guiyan sat opposite the sofa, and seeing his mother wave her hand with a smile, he said, “Hey, why are you calling me madam? Just call me Auntie.”

Lu Ze obediently called her Auntie, and Mrs. Si’s smile became even wider. She asked, “How old are you this year?”

Lu Ze said, “Twenty-one.”

“Twenty-one,” Mrs. Si glanced at her own son, tutted almost imperceptibly, and then turned to look at Lu Ze. “How did you meet A Yan?”

Lu Ze paused. Si Guiyan timely opened his mouth, “Qian Tong introduced us. I felt it was not bad, so we tried dating.”

Mrs. Si immediately glared back at him. “I didn’t ask you. Shut up.”

Si Guiyan pouted and gave Lu Ze a reassuring look. Lu Ze smiled and said in a gentle voice, “I met Brother Yan by chance, and we slowly had some interactions, and we naturally got together.”

“Good, good.” Mrs. Si chuckled. “How long have you been together?”

Lu Ze smiled. “Almost four months.”

Mrs. Si frowned. “You haven’t told me about it for so long?” She looked at her son. “You’ve gotten bold. You don’t even tell your family about such an important thing?”

Si Guiyan was helpless. “We had a little conflict a while ago, and besides, you and Dad were both abroad. Even if I wanted to say it, I couldn’t find anyone.”

“Then if you had said it, your father and I would have come back, wouldn’t we?” Mrs. Si said. Hearing this, Lu Ze quickly tried to smooth things over. “Don’t blame Brother Yan, Auntie. It’s mainly because I’ve been busy recently, and I’ve only had a few days off.”

Facing Lu Ze, Mrs. Si’s expression immediately became different, and she said in a gentle voice, “Is that so? I haven’t asked yet. What kind of work are you in now, Little Ze?”

So now it’s Little Ze.

Lu Ze said, “I’m currently an actor. I’ve filmed two works, but they haven’t been released yet.”

“An actor,” Mrs. Si was obviously a little surprised, and then she covered her lips and smiled. “An actor is good. You’re so good-looking. You have to make good use of your advantages so as not to waste them.”

Lu Ze smiled. “You are also very graceful, Auntie. When I first saw you, I didn’t even think of you as Brother Yan’s elder. Seeing that your expression is a bit like Brother Yan’s, I thought you were his older sister.”

The smile on Mrs. Si’s face became even happier. “You child, you’re really good with words!” She glanced at Si Guiyan again and snorted. “If Si Guiyan were half as sweet-tongued as you, I wouldn’t have to worry about him not being able to find a partner.”

Mrs. Si then thought of something and suddenly asked, “By the way, speaking of which, you’re with him willingly, right?”

Lu Ze was a little surprised for a moment and let out a light “hmm?” Mrs. Si smiled. “Mainly because this child has been a cold person since he was a child. When others were in love, he didn’t have any reaction at all. Now, other people’s children who are the same age as him are already fathers, but he’s still single.” Mrs. Si looked at him. “I was just thinking, did he use some kind of trick to make you have to agree to him? After all, I remember that the Si Corporation also has an entertainment company…”

Hearing this, Lu Ze was at a loss for whether to laugh or cry. Si Guiyan’s face was dark, and he said in a bad mood, “Mom, can’t you think of something good about me?”

Mrs. Si looked at him, brushed her hair, and her posture was elegant. “If you were a little more worry-free, I wouldn’t have to suspect you.”

Lu Ze said, “Don’t worry, Auntie. Brother Yan and I are in a proper relationship. We genuinely like each other. There’s no coercion.”

Mrs. Si was relieved. “That’s good.” She said, “I know my own son. He has an awkward personality. If he makes you angry in the future, you can tell me, and I’ll teach him a lesson for you.”

Lu Ze glanced at the helpless Si Guiyan and said with a smile, “Alright then. With your words, Auntie, I’m not afraid anymore.”

Si Guiyan half-leaned against the sofa. “Why don’t you say that this little bastard is bullying me?”

Mrs. Si glared at him. “What nonsense are you talking about? Who’s a little bastard? I think you’re the little bastard!”

Mr. Si, who was over thirty and was still being called a little bastard by his own mother: …

Mrs. Si was still not satisfied. She looked Si Guiyan up and down and then added, “Look at you, you’re not considerate at all. Little Ze has been handing me fruit and was about to pour me water, but you don’t know how to do anything.”

Si Guiyan, who was just worried about the two of them getting along, was already at a loss for words. He glanced at Lu Ze and felt that the two of them were getting along quite well now, so he stood up. “Alright, alright, Your Majesty. It’s my fault. What would you like to drink? Nectar or dew from the nine heavens?”

Mrs. Si patted him, and Si Guiyan smiled and went into the kitchen.

The living room of the villa was very large, which also meant that it was far from the kitchen.

Mrs. Si watched Si Guiyan’s figure walk into the kitchen, and only then did she look back at Lu Ze. The gentle and kind look she had before had completely disappeared, and in its place was a sharp and scrutinizing gaze, with a high and mighty disdain, and she said flatly, “Tell me, how much money will it take for you to leave my son?”

Lu Ze: “?”

He didn’t come back to his senses from Mrs. Si’s change for a moment. After a moment, he slowly narrowed his eyes, looked at Mrs. Si for a moment, and then leaned back on the sofa, his posture lazy and casual, without a trace of the gentleness and humility he had before. “That depends on how much your son is worth in your eyes, Mrs. Si.”

Mrs. Si paused, and her beautiful eyes curved slightly, and she slowly became interested. She raised her chin and said with an arrogant attitude, “My son’s worth, can you just name a price?”

“Let me tell you the truth. Our family only has him as a child, and the Si Corporation will also be his in the future. The mistress of the house he’s looking for naturally can’t be someone like you who can’t bring any benefit to his career.” Mrs. Si’s voice was cold, and she said, “If you’re sensible, you should give up early, and I can give you some compensation. If you keep holding on and refuse to let go, then in the end, you’ll only end up with nothing.”

Lu Ze smiled, his aura not inferior at all. “We haven’t reached that point yet. How do you know the ending will be nothing, Mrs. Si?”

Mrs. Si let out a cold laugh. “What did Si Guiyan promise you? Or do you think that with your status, you can enter the Si family’s door? I know, A Yan is very generous. He’s probably given you a lot of cars and houses, right? If you leave obediently, besides what he was going to give you, I can also give you an extra portion, and I won’t treat you unfairly. If you’re not sensible, then don’t even think about getting anything.”

“What you said, Mrs. Si, no matter how thick the compensation is, can it be as heavy as the Si Corporation?” Lu Ze said, “I’m young, and I’ve always been one to not turn back until I’ve hit a wall. And I think you’ve misunderstood something, madam. Mr. Si and I are truly in love, and it’s not something that can be shaken by money. You don’t have to say anything more about this matter. I will not compromise with you.”

Mrs. Si’s face darkened, and she snorted. “So you’ve made up your mind?”

Lu Ze smiled faintly. “You can try, Mrs. Si. Can you break us up?”

Si Guiyan came out of the kitchen with two cups of tea and heard this conversation. His heart skipped a beat. Although he had expected his mother to be open-minded, and he had also come out beforehand, he had thought that there would be no such problem. But at this moment, hearing this, he couldn’t help but worry. Just as he was about to go over and help Lu Ze out, he heard Mrs. Si’s tone suddenly change. “Aiya, aiya, that’s not right, that’s not right. You shouldn’t be like this—”

Si Guiyan was stunned for a moment and looked up in a daze. He saw that Lu Ze had resumed his obedient sitting posture, and he was listening with a warm and gentle smile as Mrs. Si said:

“You should show weakness at this time, because you see, look, my son has come out. You have to show weakness in front of him, so that he will feel sorry for you and be dissatisfied with me, his mother. At that time, when the conflict comes, hey, the climax of the plot will come!” Mrs. Si clapped her hands, her expression excited. Lu Ze listened and kept nodding. “You’re right, Auntie. I didn’t notice Brother Yan’s movements just now. What I said was indeed not very appropriate. Why don’t we try again and re-enact it?”

Mrs. Si’s face was full of excitement. “Alright, alright, then let’s do it again! You don’t know, when we’re at home, those two, father and son, always say I’m a drama queen and are not willing to play with me.”

“I’ve been silently rehearsing this scene in my heart for a long time. My good sisters have already had countless real-life experiences, and I’ve been waiting for when A Yan would find a partner! Quick, quick, A Yan, you should hurry back to the kitchen, and we’ll do it again!”

Si Guiyan stood at the kitchen door with two cups of tea. Hearing these words, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was completely helpless. He turned his head to look at Lu Ze on the side, and Lu Ze also shrugged at him. Si Guiyan only felt that it was both funny and annoying.

He strode forward, his temper gone. “Mom, aren’t you tired after saying so many words? Have some water and rest first.”
