Chapter 437: 437
So fierce, so scary ! Shi Guang’s face was turning somewhat pale in the face of this man that looked as though he was going to eat someone up .
Even though she had already prepared herself mentally before coming over that Chief Lu would definitely make things difficult for her, she thought that he might not go overboard on the surface . After all, he was a great chief out there . But, she would have never expected that he would actually go off on them right in front of a crowd like this .
What should she do! What if things were to spiral out of control and she was chased out of the Lus on account of being a femme fatale?
Instinctively, she tried looking around the crowd for the shadows of Shen Lingshuang, hoping that she would help them out of this predicament . However, she found no signs of her even after looking for a long time .
As for everyone else, none of them said anything while looking at both of them . Not only that, their expressions did not seem like they had changed at all . Just what was going on here?
Shouldn’t they be feeling flustered over Chief Lu getting pissed? Nervous? It was as though they were all used to a situation as such .
Boohoohoo! What should she do to diffuse this awkward situation right now?
A middle-aged man who was around the age of Chief Lu coughed out gently, “Alright now, stop scaring the kids!”
Shi Guang had seen this man on television before—he was a national icon on the same status as Chief Lu! Because he was Lu Yanchen’s big uncle, it was only him who could have the rights to speak up at a moment as such .
Chief Lu scoffed out coldly, looking all prideful, “Who’s scaring whom? If I don’t agree, I don’t agree!”

“Then, what did you ask us back for?” Lu Yanchen’s face was EVEN more prideful as he tugged Shi Guang’s hand, wanting to turn around and leave .
“Fourth, behave yourself!” Big Uncle Lu called out sternly .
Usually, when these two patriarchal figures of the family spoke, no one would dare to say anything . Even if Lu Yanchen didn’t want to give his own father face, he would have to give his big uncle some face .
Shi Guang was truly somewhat touched at how Lu Yanchen was not bringing her away .
Now that their father had spoken up, Lu Zhiyao and Lu Xuebao whom Shi Guang had met before immediately headed up and smiled at her cheerily .
Instantly, the entire situation seemed way less tense as both of them looked really composed . Evidently, they were used to handling situations as such .
In any case, each time Big Uncle Lu flared up, Chief Lu would handle it; if Chief Lu flared up, Big Uncle Lu would handle it .
The reason why the Lus could have the same status they enjoyed today was because of these two brothers who were in politics and the military respectively .
“Big sister…!” Suddenly, a figure pounced over right into Shi Guang’s embrace . Xiao Bai had returned!
The reason why Shen Lingshuang wasn’t around was because she had gone to fetch Xiao Bai . Now that she was back and saw that Shi Guang was still standing around, she immediately hurried forth and introduced Shi Guang .
But actually, for the most parts, Shi Guang was just introducing herself .
Although, the moment she was back, Chief Lu’s expression DID soften a little .
She poured tea and cut fruits for Shi Guang, welcoming her with such fervor that even Shi Guang was getting embarrassed as she stood up immediately . “Auntie, I’ll do it myself . ”

Shi Guang was displeased . “Child, what are you getting all polite for again! Hadn’t I already told you to call me mummy the other day? Furthermore, now that you’ve already obtained your marriage certificate with Yanchen, it’s high time you call me mummy too . ”
She then looked at Shi Guang with such hopefulness that the latter was caught at a loss .
Chief Lu had already said that there was no way he was letting her marry Lu Yanchen . How would she dare to address Shen Lingshuang as mummy out of nowhere?
What if Chief Lu were to blow up when she addressed her as mummy?
Instinctively, she lowered her head and looked at Lu Yanchen for help . However, his face was all innocent as though saying…
What are you looking at me for?
Helpless, Shi Guang could only say in a meek tone, “Mummy!”

The Simulacrum
"He who fights with harem tropes should see to it that he himself does not become a harem protagonist. And if you gaze for long into a narrative, the narrative gazes also into you." --- Friedrich Nietzsche (probably?) How would you react if one day you woke up inside an environment running on tropes and clichés? For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, this question became quite relevant when one day he woke up in a pristine city on a strange island in the middle of the Atlantic, without any memories, surrounded by classmates who are barely more than characterless placeholders, and with a classic indecisive harem protagonist and his impossibly beautiful love interests for friends. That would be hard to deal with already, yet his investigation into the tropes governing the world, trying to avoid harem shenanigans, and his odd blend of outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he goes ends up dragging him into the center of the action anyway. Disclaimer: This is a tongue-in-cheek, slice of life romantic comedy, with occasional sprinkles of combat and mystery to spice things up. Please do not expect a straight up deconstruction beyond some in-universe meta-commentary by the characters.
