Chapter 17：Old Man, Youre the Worst! (2/2)

In the past, he would either find an excuse not to go or pretend to be a mommy's boy or a scumbag to scare the girl away.

”How could I ever, Mom? Didn't I listen to you well and went for the blind date this time? I even added her on WeChat. We are taking our time to chat, taking our time!”

Lu Xuan let out an indulging smile without realizing it. Who would have thought of him as the icy and aloof Mr. Lu at the Ling's just now?

The familiar faces of his past life would most definitely be astounded if they saw that the high and mighty cold-faced Celestial Lord had this side to him.

However, Lu Xuan cared about none of that. The kinship that he had lost and recovered was something that the current him cherished the most. No matter how young or old, if he was an ordinary being or the high and mighty unrivaled Celestial Lord, at this moment, he was just a son.

”You've added her on Wechat? Not bad! What did I say, my son will be just fine! Your dad kept saying that the girl would not be even slightly interested. Look, what a slap on his face!” Liu Wanrong's triumphant voice came from the other side of the line.

”Being friends on WeChat doesn't mean that she's interested in your son. That girl is like a fairy; having her WeChat is good enough. Geez, you should be more practical. Look at our background. We should find someone who's from an ordinary household!” The voice of a middle-aged man suddenly came through from the phone.

Lu Xuan's eyes moistened at that voice. It was a voice that he had not heard for a very long time. It was none other than his father, Lu Tianxiang.

”Blegh, old man, you're the worst! How is my son not good enough for their daughter? Good looks, good height, good qualifications. How is he not good enough for her?” On the other side of the line, Liu Wanrong began to scold her husband like a fiercely protective mother hen. ”I was such a beauty back then, but didn't I marry you too? Have I ever complained that you were poor?”

”Well, you seem quite blind to have chosen me. We've spent all our money treating your eyes!” Lu Tianxiang retorted weakly over the phone.

”You...”

Lu Xuan quickly hung up before Liu Wangrong exploded, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a plump young boy appeared in front of him. In his elementary school uniform and a Pleasant Goat schoolbag on his back, he looked up at Lu Xuan.

”Xiao-yuan, did you just end school?” Lu Xuan looked at the little chubby boy standing before him. He looked a little similar to Lin Fang, though not a surprise as he was Lin Yuan, Lin Fang's brother.

They looked a lot like each other. One was a big chubby boy, and the other was a small chubby boy.

”Yup. Brother Lu, may I ask for your help with something?” The little chubby boy stared dolefully at Lu Xuan.

”With what?” Lu Xuan asked.

”Attend the parent-teacher conference instead of my Mom and Dad!” said the plump little boy.

”Aren't your parents around? Ah, did you get into trouble again? Worried that your teacher might complain to your parents? Get your brother then!” Lu Xuan realized why this little chubby boy was looking for him.

”Brother Lu, you know how big a tattletale my big brother is! If he knows, my parents would too in no time!” The plump little boy looked worried with his hands on his back.

”Our class mentor's really pretty, and she just broke up with her boyfriend!” the little chubby boy looked at Lu Xuan and tried to convince him in all seriousness. ”Aren't you still single, Brother Lu? You've been single since birth! Even I have two girlfriends. You got to buck up!”

Lu Xuan didn't know if he should laugh or cry at his remarks. What's up with these Gen Alphas? He can't believe that a Gen A kid had just mocked him.

”You're just a kid, what would you know!”

Lu Xuan pinched that chubby kid's cheeks.

The chubby boy struggled free from Lu Xuan's big hands and continued to advise seriously, ”What would I not know! Right, remember to come in late by 20 minutes!”

Lu Xuan was amused. ”Why should I arrive twenty minutes late?”

”You're so silly! If you're late, you could use it as an excuse to ask her about the things that you missed, conveniently add her on WeChat, and then ask her out on a date! Need I teach you all that?” The little chubby boy paced around with his hands on his back. ”Look at yourself! You're not getting any younger. Stop making Auntie Liu worry and tidy yourself up. As the saying goes, gold makes the Buddhist statue just as clothes make the man!”

Lu Xuan was even more amused and done with the kid. He pinched his little chubby cheeks hard and said, ”I'm afraid I can't help you with this one. Find your brother instead!”

With that, Lu Xuan turned and left. The little chubby boy's urgent plea came from behind.

”Brother Lu, Brother Lu, you can't leave me to die! Why don't I give you one of my girlfriends? We can talk!”
