Chapter 166: The Good Son You Raised

“Why are you being so loud?” Su Yi gave Li Jingran a surprise. “I was only echoing your views. I’m a woman, what do I know? You have the final say in any decisions in this family.”

“So, you’re saying that it’s my fault that Shi did not accept the role?” Su Yi shouted and furiously smashed the remote control.

After taking a step back out of fright, Li Jingran saw red. “I’m just saying. Why are you yelling at me? Who are you showing your temper to?”

Fuming, the pair refused to budge and engaged in a row.

Su Ruowan entered the room to find Su Mushi standing at the living room entryway, watching their parents quarrel with bloodshot eyes.

“Mushi.” Su Ruowan cried. “Mom and Dad are fighting. Why aren’t you stopping them?”

Su Mushi looked at her coldly without saying a word.

Why should he stop them? What did their fight have to do with him?

Su Ruowan cried as she meekly threw a glance at him before dashing into the room to stop the fight. “Mom, Dad.”

Su Mushi yanked Su Ruowan back and picked up a nearby antique vase to smash to the ground with a loud crash. He coldly scoffed. “Cut it out!”

Gazing at them, Su Yi eased the tension on his facial lines but put on a blank face. “It’s nothing to do with you. Hurry back to your rooms.”

Following their conversation, Su Mushi’s eyes turned bloodshot and his expression grimacing with hatred brewing within. He let out a shout, “It’s all your fault. The male lead of “The Smiling Nation” would’ve been me if it weren’t for you!”

He then balefully took off.

Su Yi could have passed out from the rage as he sternly yelled, “Get back here!”

What did he say?

What an ungrateful son!

The boy sure had the guts to speak in such manner because of that god*mn show.

Li Jingran buried her face in her hands and bawled. She was afraid that their son would resent them for that, and it did happen in the end.

With color draining from her face, Su Ruowan was caught between chasing after Su Mushi and comforting her parents. After much deliberation, she approached the couple and persuaded amid wails. “Mom, Dad, it’s only the anger talking. Mushi doesn’t mean it. Please don’t blame him.”

Blue in the face, Su Yi was shaking with anger as he pointed at Li Jingran. “Good, great. Look at the good son you raised.”

Li Jingran hugged Su Ruowan and cried out loud.
