Chapter 290: He Must Be the First Person To Be Tricked By His Son (2)

If he waited until Mu Jingzhe really divorced him, it would be too late. Shao Qihai’s head hurt. “How can I not think too much about it? Listen to what you’re saying. Little Dong, you promised to help me previously.”

“I will, but the main issue is that Mommy has to like you. I’ll say the same thing again. I hope the two of you will be happy. Daddy, your mood isn’t quite right. You have to calm down.” Shao Dong comforted him.

Shao Xi said, “Dad, you’ve already signed the divorce agreement with Mommy and agreed to end the marriage. It’s only because you two want to raise us together that you haven’t announced this in public or gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce certificate. Your marriage contract only exists in name. In that case, we can also help Mommy find someone she likes, right?”

What was right about this?! This wasn’t right at all.

“Of course not. Little Xi, Little Dong, you promised to help me previously, but what you’re doing now is completely different from what you said. By doing this, aren’t you afraid that I’ll go back on my word?” The agreement had yet to take effect.

As Shao Qihai finished speaking in a hurry, he saw Shao Xi’s expression change. Shao Dong, who had been holding his forehead helplessly, also had a different expression now as he looked at Shao Qihai.

“Go back on your word? You’re going back on your word just because Mommy ate with someone twice?” Shao Xi’s expression was tense.

Shao Qihai choked. “Is this about them eating together twice? You’re helping your mother find someone she likes. This isn’t right…”

“But you did sign the agreement.” Shao Xi pulled back and emphasized his next words. “You absolutely can’t go back on your word. You always say that one has to be creditworthy and that a man must keep his word. If you renege on your promise, I’ll look down on you.”

Shao Qihai: “Then you have to keep your word too. But that’s not what you said before.”

Shao Xi: “I haven’t grown up yet, have I? I’m not considered a man yet. I’m still a child. I’m still learning from you.”

Shao Qihai: “…”

He had retorted again.

“Dad, it’s just a meal. Don’t think too much.” Shao Dong tried to reassure him.

“But if Jingzhe really falls for someone, you’ll definitely support her, right? You guys definitely won’t help me.”

Shao Xi and Shao Dong didn’t answer, but Shao Qihai could already see the answer in Shao Dong and Shao Xi’s expressions.

He took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. When he stopped thinking about their father-and-son relationship and calmed down, he realized a cruel fact—he seemed to have been tricked.

Before he had signed the divorce agreement, the five kids had put this very nicely. After signing it, they had changed their minds. Not only would they not help him, but they had escalated to becoming a stumbling block. They had even openly tried to set Mu Jingzhe up with other guys. As long as Mu Jingzhe liked it, they would help. As for him… How had they helped? All they had done was impede him!

They were only a few years old, but they had still managed to trick Shao Qihai!

“So, Little Dong, you were lying to me when you said that you would help me, right?” Shao Qihai asked faintly.

“I wasn’t lying to you,” Shao Dong said. “I’ll still help you.”

Shao Qihai looked at Shao Xi. Shao Xi patted Shao Qihai’s shoulder. “Dad, I’m really worried about you. We’re father and sons and we won’t deceive you. What if you get deceived by an outsider?”

The corners of Shao Qihai’s mouth twitched. No, even though we’re father and sons, you lied to me. To think I believed you because we’re father and sons!

Shao Xi said earnestly, “Dad, don’t believe everything anyone says when you go out in the future. This world is dangerous.”

“This world is indeed dangerous. It’s too dangerous. Even a son can lie to his father. I only believed you because you’re my sons, but in the end…” Shao Qihai was heartbroken. “You… You’re my sons! How could you lie to me?”

Shao Dong held his forehead. “Dad, you’re exaggerating.”

Shao Xi nodded. “Yes, it’s not as dramatic as you make it out to be, Dad. But you have to be vigilant. Haven’t you heard that the person who lies to you in the end is always the person closest to you? Don’t be too angry this time. Just consider this a lesson. Remember to learn from your mistakes and not fall for it again. Also, you can’t just sign something anyhow.”

Shao Xi wanted to continue, but a second later, he was hugged by Shao Qihai. Shao Qihai hugged each of them and lifted them up. “No, this can’t go on like this. I have to teach you a lesson for lying to me!”

However, just as he turned around, he saw Little Bei and Xiao Wu squatting behind them and waving at Mu Jingzhe at the door.

Shao Qihai: “Why are you kids squatting here?”

“I thought you were whispering secrets to each other.” Little Bei stood up.

Mu Jingzhe looked at them suspiciously and asked, “Little Xi, what did you kids lie to your father about?”

“Nothing.” Shao Dong asked Shao Qihai to put him down. “Didn’t you say you wanted to buy us breakfast? Dad, let go of me quickly. I’ll go wash my face.”

Shao Qihai resigned himself to his fate and went to fetch water for them to wash their faces. Meanwhile, Ji Buwang stood in the alley with a face full of surprise.

What had he heard? Jingzhe had already signed a divorce agreement with Shao Qihai?

Hahaha… Ji Buwang covered his mouth and ran out quickly. He had only come to deliver breakfast in advance, but he had heard this good news.

They had already signed the divorce agreement. The kids had even said that she was free now. Wasn’t that practically a divorce? “Hahaha… That’s great!”

Shao Qihai would never have thought that there could be so many eavesdroppers in such a short time. Most importantly, the person who was least supposed to hear this, Ji Buwang, had also heard it.

Because of this good news, Ji Buwang didn’t even oppose Shao Qihai anymore.

Since they had already signed the divorce agreement, there was only one final step left to take. All he had to do was speed up.

For the next two days, Mu Jingzhe followed Little Bei when she went to film. She also brought Xiao Wu along to negotiate with the director and temporarily signed a contract.

After that, she was busy making formal evening wear. Ji Buwang didn’t disturb her and instead took Xiao Wu around Ocean City for sightseeing.

On the other side, Shao Qihai brought Shao Xi over because he had something to do. This was the first time he really helped with Shao Xi’s publishing matters. As it was a travelogue, there would also be some photos, as well as some pictures Mu Jingzhe had casually drawn. It was also considered a unique feature of Shao Xi’s work.

Shao Qihai ran around with Shao Xi for two days. Because of his previous habits, no matter where he went, he would always observe and make sure they were safe immediately. Other than observing the terrain, he would also observe people to confirm the general situation.

As a result, it was unavoidable that he would have to observe girls. The girls in Ocean City were much more fashionable and open-minded than in other places.

In the summer, there were many girls wearing dresses. This shouldn’t be a big deal, but if Shao Qihai took a few more glances, Shao Xi would look at him from the side. That gaze looked as if he hadn’t merely taken a few glances but had gone over to hug that woman.

Shao Qihai didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. “Don’t look at me like that. You can also look around like I do. Didn’t your mommy teach you to observe more previously?”

Shao Qihai taught Shao Xi to observe and got along quite well with him. When Shao Xi returned, he couldn’t wait to share this with Mu Jingzhe and his siblings.

“Mommy, Big Brother, I observed 36 sisters and aunties with Daddy today.”

Shao Qihai: “…”

‘Isn’t this very misleading? Besides, why did he only mention the ‘sisters’ and not any other people?!’
