Xia Chi noticed Feng Man's plate was barely touched, so he nudged her with his elbow. "Sister Man, why haven't I seen you eat? Aren't you hungry?"

Feng Man slowly turned her head, her eyes filled with the vicissitudes of life.

"I'm...full."

Really, very full.

"oh."

Xia Chi nodded, not understanding but respecting.

Women are really strange creatures.

"If you don't eat it, I will."

Xia Chi had rested enough and started the second half.

He was almost eight-tenths full, and he ate the second half with ease, and was able to think about what had just happened.

[Tsk tsk…]

[Speaking of which, Su Mei is also a hero. She has clear goals, makes sacrifices and gains, and is well versed in leveraging opportunities in the entertainment industry.]

When she first climbed Luo Ming's high tree, she was just an 18th-tier artist who had just graduated. Now, she has transformed herself into a rising star in the capital market, appearing in various large-scale productions and occasionally playing the leading female role in low-budget TV series.

[If you want resources, give them resources; if you want face, give them face; if you want money, give them money...]

[This Luo Ming is much more honest than those other marriage scammers.]

Luo Jian froze in place, his face bewildered.

What's the meaning?

How can we call it a lie to marry the daughter-in-law that our Luo family married through a formal matchmaking ceremony?

Marriage fraud...

What does it mean?

Turning his head towards the table, Xia Chi was slurping his soup.

[Hiss…ha…]

But they're just a couple, each getting what they need and living their life behind closed doors. Who cares how they live? As long as they can get by on the surface, that's all that matters.

[Although it is a marriage of convenience, it is actually worth it.]

Agreement...marriage of convenience?

Luo Jian's brain is not working well.

Feng Man suddenly understood.

I understand.

Luo Ming is a closet person, haha.

[Shaha...]

I guess Luo Ming has no other options. With Hao Huifen's bound feet and Luo Ming's stubborn, old-fashioned ways, who could possibly accept that their proudest son is a mere address book?

Address book.

Reindeer.

Deer.

ah.

…

Luo Jian's ears were buzzing, and his wife stopped trying to comfort him and just stood there with her eyes wide open.

What did he say?

Address book?

Who is the address book?

Luo Ming?

What is Luo Ming?

Address book?

What is the address book?

Luo Jian thought of an answer, but he immediately rejected it.

This is impossible, absolutely impossible.

Luo Jian's gaze turned towards Xia Chi.

Slander! Pure slander!

How can my son be the address book? You are the address book!!!

You little bitch with a mouth full of maggots, I will tear your mouth apart!!!

Feng Man's shoulders trembled, and she felt a murderous aura coming straight at her from behind. She quickly retracted her neck and moved away from the person involved to avoid being splashed with blood.

Xia Chi was completely unaware of this. After drinking the soup, he found a few pieces of fresh sea cucumbers and gnawed on them while worrying about the wealthy family.

[Hey, if you ask me, Director Luo Jian should stop making a fuss about this.]

Even though there's a new cuckold in the family, Luo Ming doesn't mind. Grandma is also happy to have a grandson. Su Mei worked so hard to get pregnant and give birth to a child, and now she's got an eight-digit sum. Isn't this killing three birds with one stone? Everyone is happy.

[How does the saying go, if you are not stupid or deaf, you will not be a householder.]

Luo Jian: I...I...

Should I turn a blind eye?

Forget it, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings...

He sighed weakly, his anger slowly turning into helplessness.

If you are not stupid or deaf, you will not be a householder...

Not stupid or deaf, not a fake old man...

Luo Jian was comforting himself when he suddenly heard Xia Chi say something else.

[It's just a pity for Luo Liang, who was used to borrow sperm to have a child and became a tool for nothing.]

Poor Luo Liang...

Borrowing sperm to have a child...

in vain……

people……

Luo Jian covered his heart again.

Luo Liang...his youngest son who returned from studying abroad a few years ago.

What!! And his business!!!

Luo Ming's younger brother Luo Liang was originally sitting in the side hall. He heard some strange noise outside and hurried over. He happened to see this scene where the man was silent and the woman was crying. His father Luo Jian's face was ashen and his mother was crying and recounting old stories.

He hurried forward and grabbed his mother's wrist. "Mom, it's the full moon banquet, with so many guests watching..." He glanced at his father's pale face, a little worried. "What kind of trivial things are you talking about in front of others? Be careful of Dad's blood pressure."

Luo Jian slowly raised his eyes and his gaze fell on his second son, who was usually low-key and filial.

His second son actually has similar eyebrows and eyes to Luo Ming, but he inherited his square head and short stature, which turned his noble temperament into that of an ordinary passerby, making him have no chance of being in front of the camera.

He was mediocre in his studies and spent money to get a master's degree abroad. After returning to China, he casually took a sinecure in his own company and then leisurely mingled in various drinking parties, living the life of a rich second-generation. Compared with Luo Ming, it was a world of difference.

Luo Jian finally figured something out.

It turns out that this means that the son is not the biological son, but the grandson is the biological grandson.

Xia, will you die if you use a subject? ! ! ! ! !

Luo Jian's chest seemed to be on fire, and blood was surging in front of his eyes. Before he could come to his senses, the slap had already been thrown out with a sound of wind.

“Snap—”

A crisp sound exploded in the banquet hall. Luo Liang was hit and his head tilted to the side. Five finger marks quickly appeared on his face.

Everyone was shocked.

No one expected that the full moon banquet that should have been a joyful occasion would turn into such a farce. Everyone looked over here, imagining all kinds of grudges between wealthy families in their minds, and some even took out their phones to secretly take pictures.

Xia Chi was also attracted by the noise. He looked at the three people and burped loudly.

[A director is a director, even the conflict scenes are so tense.]

Xia Chi even thought of the headline for tomorrow's headlines.

[Shocking! Why did a famous director slap his son in public?]

[Breaking News! Video of a wealthy father and son falling out has been leaked.]

[The full moon banquet turns into a Hongmen Banquet! The price a popular young actress pays for marrying into a wealthy family!]

[Over the years, Luo Jian made famous the best actors and actresses, and here are the first-hand accounts...]

The commotion here was so loud that a relative finally hurried through the crowd and ran to the private room to deliver a message to Luo Ming and his wife.

Luo Ming's brows suddenly furrowed, he exchanged glances with Su Mei beside him, and walked towards this side with the child in his arms.

On the happy day, the family of six finally stood together, looking at each other, staring at each other, each with their own ulterior motives.

Luo Jian was furious, Hao Huifen was in tears, Luo Liang's face was covered with red slap marks, Su Mei was swallowing nervously, and Luo Ming was not much better.

Only the baby in the cradle was sleeping soundly, smacking his pink little mouth from time to time, completely unaware that he was lying in the center of the storm.

Luo Ming was the first to break the strange silence: "Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Hao Huifen had just been stunned by Luo Jian's slap, but when she saw her eldest son, she seemed to have found support, and the suppressed gasps suddenly became louder.

"Your dad went crazy today!" She pulled her eldest son and said aggrievedly, "First he embarrassed me in public, and then he hit Liangliang. He just wanted to piss me off to death."

She beat her chest in sorrow.

Luo Jian's eardrums hurt from the crying, and he felt bitter but couldn't say it.

It was indeed inappropriate to slap his second son just now. He now had only one thought in his mind - he couldn't let this farce continue to escalate.

Shameful.

He closed his mouth, his jawline tense, but the fire in his heart grew more and more intense, and he couldn't help but glare fiercely at his eldest son and his wife.

This glance made the two of them panic.

Just ask yourself, what else in this world could make Luo Dad criticize Luo Ming and Su Mei at the same time, and beat Luo Liang in public?

He looked like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unwilling to speak out his suffering.

It seems the truth has been revealed.

What Luo Ming thought of was also thought of by his younger brother Luo Liang.

After all, he was young and not as steady as his brother. His mind went blank, his face turned red, and he looked at Su Mei stupidly.

Su Mei was like a fox with its tail clamped, her face red to her neck but she still had to smile gracefully.

But Luo Liang's gaze was like two red-hot iron nails, vowing to nail her to the pillar of shame.

She maintained a fake smile on the surface, but her back teeth were almost broken.

You're going to die, idiot. What are you looking at? Don't you think things are chaotic enough?

This scene finally fell into Hao Huifen's eyes.

She sensitively noticed that there seemed to be some inexplicable ambiguity between her eldest daughter-in-law and her second son.

Then look at the furious Luo Dad and the wandering Luo Ming...

More than seventy years of experience allowed her to instantly piece together a possibility.

These people seemed to be hiding some secret from her...

What a shameful secret...

Hao Huifen stopped crying.

【After all, paper cannot cover fire.】

[It's winter, and I have a fight with my husband, but my boyfriend comforts me. It's better for the three of you to live a good life.]

[It's clearly a movie about three people, but I still can't have a name...]

Xia Chi sang in his heart and glanced at Luo Liang.

[Look at his eyes, he's still thinking about his sister-in-law, his feelings are still there.]

How did this get into the immoral category? It's even sister-in-law literature, and Jinjiang doesn't even allow it.

[I guess he also feels that he will never be able to surpass his brother in this life, so he makes his brother wear a green hat to balance it out.]

[Who knew his brother had the same idea? He was being used as a tool by the couple.]

[Hey, he broke up with his fiancée abruptly for his sister-in-law, and then was kicked out after using her. The father is gone, but the son remains.]

[I guess she doesn't even know the child is hers.]

For some unknown reason, the child suddenly started crying, as if he was asking for help.

Luo Ming, who had seen many storms, became the calmest person in the audience at this moment.

He glanced around, reading everyone's expression, not caring whether the hat was dark green or light green, as he considered the overall situation.

"Dad, Mom, it's time to feed the baby." These words were spoken with great force, as if the tension just now was just an illusion.

"We'll talk later if there's anything."

[That's right, Director Luo, please don't make a fuss about it. It would be shameful if it got out of hand.]

[After all the twists and turns, your son is still your son, your grandson is still your grandson, and your daughter-in-law is still your daughter-in-law. What's the difference?]

Luo Jian: “!!!”

Is this no difference?!

[It's just that... it will be hard for my grandson to learn about family relationships in the future.]

【But you can learn it together with elementary school mathematics. 】

You can't call me "Grandpa." You should call me "Mom's husband's dad." This is called the "making up the father." You can't call me "Dad." You should call me "Mom's father-in-law's son." This is called the "borrowing the father." You can't call me "I." You should call me "Grandpa's wife's son's wife's son." This is called the "breaking the ancestral law."

[This blurred the grudges of the previous generation while avoiding lying to the children. It was the best of both worlds, and everyone was happy. I'm so smart!]

【As expected of me! 】

Luo Jian's body shook violently. This iron-blooded director who had been mighty all his life was now trembling like a dead leaf.

Turbid old tears rolled down his wrinkled cheeks.

Hao Huifen's eyes were filled with shock. It was the first time in decades that she saw Old Man Luo cry.

She finally realized that she had gone too far and hurried over to help.

Luo Ming gave his father a sharp look, and Luo Liang immediately understood. The two brothers supported their father on either side and walked towards an empty private room.

Xia Chi was concentrating on showing off his third piece of honey-glazed fire cube, and was completely unaware of the scene of the tiger crying just now. When he looked up from the delicious food, he caught a glimpse of a family of six walking to the door of the private room.

【Hey, why are they going there? 】

[He must be counting the money...]

Luo Jian stumbled.

"Hurry up and eat yours."

Feng Man put the pig's trotter that Xia Chi had been coveting for a long time into his bowl.

Stop abusing the elderly.
