Chapter 1003: Break In (1/2)
”Is Uncle Zihao going to make up with Aunt Jinjing and get back together with her?” Bacon asked, his golden eyes glowing in the dark and his tail swishing left and right.
Lu Zihao fell silent for a few seconds before saying, ”Don't ask too many questions, kid. Just do what I asked you to do.”
”Bacon thought that Uncle Zihao is finally going to do the classy thing and court Aunt Jinjing properly just like how Father pursued Mother, but it seems that I'm wrong. Uncle Zihao is still acting like a coward. Not classy at all.”
In. Out. In. Out.
Lu Zihao forced himself to take a few deep breaths to control his temper in front his poison-tongued AI nephew. The little rascal sure knew how to aim where it hurt the most—his pride.
”Kid, are you going to help me or not?”
”Uncle Zihao has become more impatient lately. It's not classy. Don't worry, Uncle. Bacon will help you break into Aunt Jinjing's condo because it's too pitiful to continue watching you acting like a pathetic loser.”
Lu Zihao gripped the steering wheel with both hands, the veins in his arms protruding from the force, as he focused on taking deep breaths.
”Also please be aware that Bacon will charge Uncle Zihao for this extra service. This is Uncle Zihao's personal matter so it's considered outside the scope of my professional work at Shadow Winds. If you're in doubt, feel free to check my employment contract. Father made sure to include this additional clause, so Uncle Zihao is obligated to pay Bacon with the overtime rate.”
”Fine! I'll pay you, okay?”
”Bacon thanks Uncle Zihao.”
”Do you think that you're classy by being a money-grubber?” Lu Zihao muttered under his breath.
Bacon licked his fluffy paws and blinked his golden eyes with his trademark bored expression. ”Mother says that Grandpa Lu taught her an important life lesson—it's okay to be shameless when it comes to family. Uncle Zihao is family so it's fine if I act shameless with you. As for me not acting classy, please be careful of your words, Uncle Zihao. Mother is the classiest person in the whole wide world, even classier than Father, so whatever she says and does is guaranteed to be classy. Therefore, Bacon is also classy for following what my classy mother taught me.”
Lu Zihao opened his mouth but no words came out so he just shut it again. The little mama's boy might have a despicable two-faced personality most of the time thanks to an unknown bastard, but Bacon's unique and eloquent reasoning was without a doubt inherited from Evelinka.
If only her personality were as vile as her AI son's back in their past lives, then she with her genius intellect might have given him, her big brother, a run for his money and might have even snatched the position of the next head of the Vetrov organization from him.
