"Instead of being ashamed, you take pride in being someone else's mistress. Madam Zhuang, I doubt you're that well-mannered," Tang Qing mocked as he rested his chin in his hand after drinking some soup.

Zhuang Lijuan's smile stiffened as she felt a little ashamed.

'I'm doing this for the sake of this man, for love, and for living a better life. Am I wrong? What matters is I've raised a brilliant son.'

"Tang Qing, watch your manners when you're talking to your aunt."

Tang Qing stared at Tang Zhenyun, put down his chopsticks and then stood up to smoothen the creases of his shirt. "I shall not disturb the three of you while you're enjoying your family time."

"Bastard, if you dare to step out of this door, I will consider letting your younger brother succeed Tang Corporation instead."

Zhuang Lijuan's eyes lit up when she heard that.

Zhuang Heng shrugged his shoulders and said in disdain, "Don't call me."

With one hand in the pocket of his blazer, Tang Qing retorted with a sinister smile, "Do you think I care?"

Tang Zhenyun frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Everyone knows that I'm the CEO of Tang Corporation." Tang Qing paused. "Without me, Tang Corporation will be nothing. So, if you want to continue being the chairman of Tang Corporation, you'd better behave yourself."

Tang Qing wasn't polite with his father at all.

In his opinion, if Tang Zhenyun hadn't fooled around, got into extramarital affairs, and even brought his mistresses home every other day after marrying Tang Qing's mother, the latter wouldn't have developed depression and eventually passed away due to a severe illness.

Tang Qing hated his father.

Tang Zhenyun was aware of that too.

In fact, if it wasn't for Tang Qing's refusal, Zhuang Lijuan might have really become Tang Zhenyun's lawful wife by now.

"Rascal."

Zhuang Lijuan quickly patted his back. "Simmer down, that's how hot-tempered kids are. Zhuang Heng, you're not allowed to make your father so upset too, you hear me?"

Zhuang Heng rolled his eyes without answering her.

Yan Jinyi cursed during her journey back to the Huo Family residence. It was still relatively early so she thought that there shouldn't be anyone at home at this time. However, in the end, as soon as she entered, she saw Huo Xishen who was sitting on the couch. He was reading a book while wearing a pair of gold-framed glasses, looking handsome and refined.

"Mr. Huo, shouldn't you be working?"

After changing into a comfortable pair of shoes, Yan Jinyi walked over to sit down beside Huo Xishen.

Huo Xishen closed his book and looked at her with a sideways glance. "Did you enjoy your meal, Darling?"

"You know where I went?" Yan Jinyi was a little puzzled because she didn't feel that she had been watched along the way!

"It's Zhuang Heng's birthday today and the navigation app on your phone shows that you had gone to his place."

Yan Jinyi sulked. 'I hate the advanced technology of this world!'

Yan Jinyi didn't deny or tried to hide anything. Thus, she answered rightfully, "It was great, your arch enemy was there too. He and Zhuang Heng even openly vied for me in front of their parents."

After saying that, Yan Jinyi tried to observe Huo Xishen's expression with the corner of her eye.

"Tang Qing is indeed a bit smarter than Zhuang Heng..." After a pause, Huo Xishen continued, "But, he's not as smart as me."

"…"

Huo Xishen added, "Zhuang Heng is quite good-looking but I heard he had plastic surgery done on his face."

"…"

'How are you so sure?'

Although Zhuang Heng was talkative and noisy, his features were natural and he had never gone under the knife before.

Yan Jinyi suddenly thought of something and blinked at Huo Xishen. She asked teasingly, "Mr. Huo, are you jealous?"

To her surprise, Huo Xishen didn't change the subject this time. Instead, he answered, "Yes."

Yan Jinyi was a little surprised and she stared at Huo Xishen in shock for a long time before suddenly pinning him down onto the sofa.

She pulled away from Huo Xishen a little and said, "Mr. Huo, I kinda want to kiss you."
