Chapter 845

That evening, when Li Xiuyu went to the room, he saw Li Zhuangsheng huddled in a chair, fiddling with a sullen expression, occasionally tilting his head and grinning at the "Sword Star" heroine's underwear.
"Hu Mengdie isn't back yet, is she not coming back today?" Li Xiuyu tapped Li Zhuangsheng on the head.
“She said she went home for dinner tonight and won’t be back until very late, or maybe she won’t come back at all,” Li Zhuangsheng said, his eyebrows drooping.
"I knew it. I was too embarrassed to play normally because I was afraid of being seen by those two. But today I not only played it again, but I also installed mods."
Li Xiuyu sat beside him, watching Li Zhuangsheng play games with a bored expression.
"Hmph, I'll play if I want to..." Li Zhuangsheng grumbled.
"How's the novel coming along? Are you going to abandon it?"
"I guess we'll just have to abandon it," Li Zhuangsheng muttered, his eyes glued to the screen. "But I haven't figured out how to say it yet. Should I just issue a separate announcement to declaring it abandoned, or should I explain that it's due to amnesia?"
"I think it would be better if you just announced that you were castrated due to illness. If you said you had amnesia, you would definitely be criticized even more."
"why?"
"Because you've used every excuse imaginable to shirk your responsibilities and take leave over the years. If you say you have amnesia, your readers will definitely think you're just making things up again, which would only add fuel to the fire. You might as well be a justified eunuch."
Li Zhuangsheng's lips twitched slightly, and he decided to listen to Li Xiuyu. The other party probably wouldn't try to trick him again now.
"Let's talk about it in a couple of days," Li Zhuangsheng said lazily.
"Is the eunuch going to delay any longer?"
"I don't want to open the author assistant app. Now, as soon as I open it, I can't help but want to read the comments, but they're all criticizing me... I want to wait until the people criticizing me calm down before I comment."
Li Xiuyu revealed his shrewd businessman side: "These comments won't disappear. How about you use a week's worth of 'working like a slave' coupons, and I'll help you control the comments and delete all the bad ones. I guarantee you won't see a single bad comment when you log in!"
"Forget it, if it's not well written, it's not well written. If I get scolded, I get scolded..." Li Zhuangsheng said lazily, having completely given up.
Besides, do you think I'd be stupid enough to ask for a week of backbreaking work to delete a bad review?
……
"I heard you two sisters had a little argument. I wonder what could have happened?" In the living room, Mr. Hu frowned. "Harmony in the family brings prosperity. You two should make up as soon as possible."
Hu Mengke coaxed Xuanxuan in a low voice, while Hu Mengdie's face showed resistance and resentment.
“I don’t want to…” Hu Mengdie said.
"why?"
"You have no idea what she's done!"
Hu Mengdie bit her lip, suppressing the resentment in her heart.
Hu's mother sighed and tried to persuade her, "Even if Mengke did something to wrong you, you two are still sisters. How can sisters hold a grudge overnight?"
Hu Mengdie felt increasingly ashamed and indignant, her face flushed red: "None of you know what she did! And why does she always stay at my place?"
"What are you saying? You're sisters!" Mother Hu glared at her. "What do you mean by 'your side' and 'her side'? Aren't we all family? Why are you being so formal?"
"I've never heard of anyone living at my sister and brother-in-law's house all day long..." Hu Mengdie retorted softly, feeling wronged.
She could stay at my place, but then she went and stole from my brother-in-law and sister's bed! What kind of behavior is that! I absolutely refuse to let her stay at my place anymore; the two of them must break up!
"Wasn't that to take care of you?"
"I don't need her to take care of me anymore!" "Then you take care of her!"
"I don't think she needs anyone to take care of her! She's already an adult, five years older than me!"
Mr. Hu tapped the table and said coldly, "Oh, you've grown wings, haven't you? You haven't learned anything else, but you've already learned to talk back to your parents, have you?"
Hu Mengdie clenched her fist: "I'm an adult now!"
"Didn't you just say you're five years younger than your sister?"
"...Anyway, don't push me any further, I'll never forgive her, even if it kills me!"
"This isn't asking for your opinion, it's informing you." Mr. Hu frowned. "Take your sister home tonight. I've been having a headache these past few days because of the kids! Go back and start trying to conceive with Zhuang Sheng, so you can have a big, healthy boy and make me happy!"
Hu Mengdie whispered, "You're just sexist..."
"What's the problem? It's because none of the women in our Hu family can give birth to sons!"
"A child's sex is determined by the man's chromosomes..."
"You're talking back again, aren't you?"
"That's how it is..."
Hu Mengdie retorted softly again. She didn't know why. She would never have talked back to her parents like this before, but now she had become bolder.
Perhaps she was used to being free in the bridal chamber, or perhaps she felt that she was already "water spilled out" and considered herself a member of the Li family, and her parents could no longer control her.
Mr. Hu waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, I don't want to argue with you about this. You better make up with your sister and get out of my sight!"
"I will never make up with her!" Hu Mengdie raised her voice, "Never, even if it kills me!"
If Hu Mengke and Li Zhuangsheng acted impulsively and then apologized afterward, she might consider a reluctant reconciliation. But Hu Mengke was simply trying to disgust her, and she would never forgive her!
"You think I can talk to your mother anymore?" Mr. Hu's eyes widened in anger, his voice loud, and he made a gesture as if he was about to hit her.
“Even if you beat me to death today, I will never forgive her, and I will never allow her to come to my house again!” Hu Mengdie became stubborn.
Mr. Hu laughed in exasperation: "Fine, fine, fine..."
Just then, Hu Mengdie's phone rang. It was a text message from Hu Mengke. She looked at Hu Mengke beside her, puzzled. They were right there; what couldn't they say to each other's faces?
She opened WeChat, only to see the following message:
If your parents found out that you not only went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce with your brother-in-law, but also had an affair with Qi Haoyu, what do you think they would do?
Hu Mengdie froze, then stared at Hu Mengke in disbelief. The other party was actually using such shameless means to threaten her!
"Dad, don't be angry." Hu Mengke finally spoke softly, "Although I did something a little wrong, my sister is so gentle, she will definitely forgive me, right?"
you!
Hu Mengdie trembled with rage. How she wanted to slap this little bitch across the face a few times!
Hu Mengke flashed a bright smile, seemingly sincere: "Sister, I was wrong. I apologize to you. What I said to you that day was just a moment of impulse. You will forgive me, right? Who hasn't made a mistake because of a moment of confusion?"
Threat! This is a naked threat!
Hu Mengdie was so angry she almost fainted, but she was choked up and couldn't say a word!
"Since you're not saying anything, that means you've forgiven me," Hu Mengke said with a grin. "Then, sister, let's go home!"
Hu Mengdie's body trembled slightly, but she dared not say any more words of refusal at this moment.
"Oh, right, that's much better!" Seeing this, Mother Hu finally smiled. "You two sisters, if there's anything you can't overcome, you should help each other out!" (End of Chapter)
