I could only sneer at Ai ShuQiao’s proposal.
“Do you think…. I want to be your son again?”
It was almost as if I could see the Ai ShuQiao lift up the corners of her mouth through the phone.
“Why not. If you do become my son, you’ll become ultra-wealthy… I can make all of your dreams come true…”
“Is that so?” I wasn’t really interested, “I only want my dad to go back to teaching at the university, can you achieve that?”
“What?” Ai ShuQiao did not expect my request, “As long as you recognize me as your mother, you won’t have to worry about clothing or food at all. Why would you care about what Ye YuanFeng does?”
I repeated my statement without emotions: “I want my dad to go back to teaching at the university.”
Ai ShuQiao got a bit upset, “Listen, I’m interested in you, not your father. Ye YuanFeng is basically useless, I won’t do anything for him. As long as you follow me, you’ll have an endless amount of wealth. As for how much you give your father, that has nothing to do with me. Due to the nature of the business, you may regularly appear next to me, but Ye YuanFeng can’t come. Just let that pitiful hindrance settle down somewhere and retire.”
I already expected Ai ShuQiao’s answer. My dad doesn’t actually need any help, because the biggest hindrance preventing him from returning to teach is his heart. If Ai ShuQiao was willing to say to my dad ‘I want you to go back to teaching’, then he will definitely do it. I don’t want to admit it, but Ai ShuQiao still has a large influence on my dad even when they have been separated for a long time.
What a dreadful poison.
“Ye Lin, I don’t like being forced to do something that I don’t want to do, so you have to change your conditions.”
I didn’t express my thoughts and waited for her to continue.
“A kid like you who grew up from the bottom probably doesn’t understand the difference power makes. Let me tell you what you can do after becoming my son.”
It seems our relationship of mother and son isn’t decided biologically, but only for people she approves.
“For a 15 year old like you, you’re probably in constant turmoil because of your hormones.”
I already stopped trying to correct her that I was 14 years old.
“According to my knowledge, your school… no, your class has quite a few beautiful girls.”
So, what? Did you get that information from that private detective, it’s not that impressive.
Ai ShuQiao continued to speak calmly:
“You can rape whoever you want.”
What… is that something a mother should say to her son?
“There’s no limit, you can rape as many as you want.”
“If you have special hobbies, you can even call your friends over and gang rape them.”
“If your classmates aren’t enough to satisfy you, then you can increase the range to the entire school. It doesn’t matter how many girls you rape or how many gets pregnant or dies… I’ll take care of the aftermath.”
“I’ll prove it to you that your mother has power. Even if I’m abroad, I still have influence on the Chinese judicial system.”
“Of course, if someone dies, make sure to bring at least one scapegoat. You’re smart so you should know what to do without teaching you.”
Didn’t you already teach me enough? You’re even worse than Li TianYi’s mother. All she did was raise her son poorly and continue to cover up for him, but you straight up instigated me to commit gang rape.
Is it true that humans have an ‘evil’ side? I’m not saying I’m interested in Ai ShuQiao’s outrageous proposal, but there was an instant where I imagined 28 Middle turning into a dedicated harem just for me.
But it’s more accurate to say the ‘good’ blood running in my veins from my father wouldn’t agree. Even if I’m not punished by the law after I rape a girl, the class leader’s gun will still enact justice.
Of course, if I go along with Ai ShuQiao’s plan, then the first one I rape would be the class leader and break her index finger she shoots with in the process. Maybe Ai ShuQiao’s son can do it, but I can’t, so I have proven that I am not Ai ShuQiao’s son.
“Do you find joy in hurting others?” I replied to Ai ShuQiao, “Even if I feel happy in the moment, my conscience hasn’t been rounded yet and I’ll regret it.”
My dad mentioned once before that everyone’s conscience is like a triangle resting in their chest. If you do something bad, the triangle will spin and cause you pain, so a lot of people try not to do bad deeds. However, some people who persists in doing bad deeds will eventually have their triangle grounded down into a circle and they will no longer feel uncomfortable.
I remember a specialist once said on social media: A conscience is a weakness, you have to get rid of it if you want to get successful.
A weakness is fine, since I would only feel human if I feel pain in my chest. If the cost of becoming successful is to become apathetic, then I would rather go do physical labor. At least I would be able to keep my real emotions.
Going back to my previous example, if I raped the class leader and broke her index finger, even if Ai ShuQiao helps me out, my conscience wouldn’t be able to support it.
So instead of saying I have a lot of integrity and never thought of having girls under me, it’s better to say I don’t want my conscience to be tormented. On this point alone, I don’t have the ability to rape a girl.
Seeing as I haven’t spoken for a while, Ai ShuQiao thought I was tempted and kept speaking:
“Believe me, once you get a taste of power, you can’t live without it.”
When did raping girls become ‘power’?
I guess anything that disturbs someone else’s lives is considered a form of power in your eyes.
“Ai ShuQiao.” I steeled my resolve and didn’t call her mom, “Do you think I’m the same as you?”
“Hahaha, a lot of times blood runs thicker than you imagine.”
“My dad’s blood is stronger than yours.”
Ai ShuQiao stayed silent for a while.
“Funny that you would even compare me to Ye YuanFeng. He’s a loser for falling to his current state with his talents.”
I got too emotional, “Who do you think made him like that?”
Ai ShuQiao remained unmoved, “Don’t push your own problems onto others. Whether you admit it or not, you’re much closer to me than Ye YuanFeng.”
“Bullshit.”
“As for the conscience you mentioned and the loser ideologies that Ye YuanFeng taught you, I will help you get rid of them as your mother. I’ll do my duty and give my all to turn you into someone like me.”
I wanted to immediately hang up, but Peng TouSi was dissuading me with his eyes, so I could only keep on listening.
“I won’t rape anyone no matter what, so give up.”
“Based on my knowledge, you should still be a virgin, right?”
Why do you have to investigate that?
“A virgin at 15 years old. It’s a bit sad from an American perspective, no wonder you’re still immature.”
“In order to express my sincerity, I’ll introduce a good partner for you to say goodbye to your virginity. And you wouldn’t get a guilty conscience when you’re with her.”
What, are you referring to Xiao Qin? I definitely wouldn’t feel guilty if I stripped her, but isn’t that exactly what she wants?
“Do you still remember Su Qiao?” Ai ShuQiao suddenly said.
She was the one who left home because she didn’t like acrobatics and was finally able to become a fulltime actor. Recently, she signed a contract with Tian Mu Xing Guang Limited Media Company. She’s the girl who’s older than me by three years and has long braided hair.
“She’s mine.”
“What?” I didn’t understand Ai ShuQiao’s words.
“I’m saying she’s one of my chess pieces. I was the one who gave her the role of Blood Prince’s maid, do you get it now?”
Her words cleared up a lot of my doubts. No wonder Ai Mi never admitted to helping Su Qiao, and Auntie Ren was also puzzled on how she was able to get a role with her mediocre English skills. So, it was because Ai ShuQiao had a chat with the director.
But what benefits would Ai ShuQiao get in return?
Ai ShuQiao said in a loathsome tone:
“Su Qiao didn’t have a brain or any connections, it made me mad when I saw her trying to get into the acting world.”
“It was actually her idea to go to your hotel room that night. I still haven’t contacted her yet and wanted to test her reactions.”
“Seeing her childish actions, I thought what a ‘foolish girl’ and I may be able to use her to deal with you…”
“But she was dumber than I imagined and couldn’t even properly put weed in your bag.”
I was stunned and finally realized why Su Qiao was acting so strangely. The weed had nothing to do with Kyle the fool and it was actually done by Su Qiao. Was she the one who almost made me into a drug trafficker?
“Are you getting mad at her now?” Ai ShuQiao added some more oil to the flames, “When she was a background actor, you made sure Ai Mi didn’t pick on her or fire her, but she immediately bites your hand once she receives a tiny benefit from me… that was a drug and it almost sent you to juvy.”
I was a bit upset. She kept calling me Mr. Ye, but was harming me behind my back.
“How about it? I don’t think you’re conscience would be affected much to use someone who betrayed you.”
“Use? What do you mean?”
“What else could it mean?” Ai ShuQiao laughed, “Do her.”
“What?”
“What’s so strange about it? She got an important role from me, but she didn’t complete my tasks properly. She can’t even be used as a chess piece, but she has to at least pay the price somehow.”
“So, I’m wrapping her up and giving it to my son as a gift. You can punish her to your heart’s content while also losing your virginity. You don’t have to feel any psychological pressure since she owes us.”
“You…”
“Oh, and it’s not the gift that counts, but the thought behind it. I think we still need a contract to signify you becoming my son again. Why not use Su Qiao’s body as the contract.”
Are you using a person as a product? Su Qiao probably doesn’t know she’s already been sold out.
“Ye Lin, there’s a saying that goes: In this world, some people let things happen, some people watch it happen, and some don’t even know what happened.”
“Su Qiao is the person who doesn’t know what happened. The last order I gave her was to get into an intimate relationship with you, and she couldn’t back down even if it meant a physical relationship. It should be easy to get with her as long as you’re willing.”
“Don’t you kind of feel like the emperor when you can go play with an ignorant person after finding out the truth.”
“If you accept her, you can use her like a dirty rag or stay as a couple for a while, it’s up to you.”
“She won’t cause you any trouble on the legal side. To be honest, I’m the boss of Tian Mu Xing Guang Limited Media Company.”
