The Villain and the Cannon Fodder’s Mother

Chapter 54 – BingBang: Little Yurun, you sure you don’t want to consider my dad? Wouldn’t it be so awesome if we become brothers? We could be superhero duos. We’ll fight together and play video games together. (3)

When Ms. Lin Ping was done with her husband and turned back over to continue her conversation with her daughter, she finally noticed that her daughter was already long gone.

Ms. Lin Ping, who wasn’t done with what she had to say, “……”

Why did she feel like she still had so much she wanted to get out of her?

Meng Yuran fished out the picture from his pants’ pocket and threw it directly into the trashcan after he returned to his room.

He finally had it figured out. The main purpose of grandma’s trip this time round was to hook up his mom.

He frowned when he thought about that.

How’d some random man be better than him?

He recalled how his dad had gotten remarried and didn’t even bother visiting them for months on end. That’s when he realized that no matter how nice the adults put it, once they got remarried, the only thing that they cared about was their new families.

He fished out his cellphone that has been vibrating.

Within his WeChat circle, several of his unbridled friend were chatting nonstop.

He thought about it for a second and asked out of the blue, “What can I do to distract my mother’s attention?”

These blind dates were just going to keep on coming.

Plus, he could tell how persistent his grandmother was. She wasn’t going to stop until his mother has settled down again.

For the time being, it didn’t look like his mother was interested at all. But one could never be too sure. What if his mother hooked up with some random man one day? Then what would happen to him and his sister?

His mother belonged to him and his sister!

The three boys that were happily chatting away about video games all stopped talking.

They paused for a few seconds and finally Xu Jie was the first one to chim in.

Society’s Jie-ge (Xu Jie): Every time I bring the report card home, my dad would want to spank me with the broom. I use the blue-and-white porcelain vase to distract him every time. I always manage to get out of trouble when I picked up the blue-and-white porcelain vase that my grandpa bought from an antique auction one time. But, your grades are so good, your mom still spanks you?

BingBang (Li Yuebin): Don’t even put Little Yuran and you on the same scale, alright? He ranked top in the school, nothing like you, okay?

Society’s Jie-ge: What’s your point? Are you suggesting that I don’t even have basic human rights just because my grades are poor?

All of the sudden, the subject in the private chat room had derailed and went back to its original senseless bickering and bluffing…

Meng Yuran, “……”

Why did he think this bunch would be able to come up with something useful?

Lazy Idiot (Xie Ning): @R, something going on at home?

Society’s Jie-ge: Exactly, Little Yuran, you know you can share anything with us. We might not be the smartest, but the three of us together will figure something out.

Meng Yuran hesitated for a bit.

R (Meng Yuran): My mother might get re-married.

Society’s Jie-ge: Oh shoot. For realz? Who’s the lucky guy? Does that mean he will be able to have your mom’s cooking every day?

BingBang: D*mn. All you care about is food!

BingBang: @R, hey Little Yuran, my dad divorced a long time ago. What do you think of him? I promise I’ll take aunty as my own mom if she’d cook for me every day.

BingBang: Correction. I’ll put her up on a pedestal, even.

Society’s Jie-ge: F*, Li Yuebin. Have you no shame?

Meng Yuran: “……”

It was his own bad idea. He was the one stupid enough to broach them with this subject.

Xie Ning was silent for bit and offered him an idea.

Lazy Idiot: Didn’t you mention a while back that your mom was thinking about starting her own restaurant? Running your own business requires a lot of time and effort. Then she won’t have the time to even think about looking for a stepdad for you.

BingBang: Oh, hey. Not a bad idea, Xie Ning. Go you!

Society’s Jie-ge: That’s so insidious of you. Aunty is such a nice person. Doesn’t she have the right to pursue her own happiness again?

BingBang: Little Yurn, you sure you don’t want to consider my dad? Wouldn’t it be so awesome if we become brothers? We could be superhero duos. We’ll fight together and play video games together.

Meng Yuran and Xie Ning, “……:

Those two idiots!
