Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

Zhuge Dali's calm voice came from the other end of the phone: "I was just watching the live broadcast."

"Oh~~" Lin Bufan suddenly became excited. "I didn't expect that our top student sister Dali also likes to watch live broadcasts? Do you like to watch those beautiful anchors with fair skin, long legs, and beautiful faces? Or do you like to watch those anchors with curvaceous figures and graceful dance moves? Or do you like to watch those anchors with sweet voices and cute voice actors?"

"neither."

Lin Bufan continued to speculate: "Sister Dali, you wouldn't like those boring academic live broadcasts, would you? Or those utterly boring technical streams? Or those so-called knowledge sharing hosts who can only read PowerPoint presentations? If that's the case, then I despise you!"

"I'm watching your live broadcast." Zhuge Dali's tone still seemed calm.

"Oh my!" Lin Bufan immediately changed his tone to a smug one: "I didn't expect that Dali sister is not only good at studying, but also has such good taste! So, am I more handsome in real life or on my phone?"

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then Zhuge Dali's voice came again, but this time, her voice was not as calm as before: "You haven't forgotten what you promised me, right?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten!" Lin Bufan patted his chest and said confidently, "I called you to tell you that I'm fully prepared to take your test! Where are you? I'll find you now!"

"Hasn't there anything else you can think of?" Zhuge Dali's tone was somewhat helpless.

"What?" Lin Bufan looked confused.

"You forgot what I said. If you take the test here, you can't take the test at my mother's place at the same time."

"Remember! I didn't go?" Lin Bufan's tone sounded very righteous, as if it was not him who wanted to invite Zhuge Dasheng to dinner just now!

"Then why did you give my mother a bracelet and a necklace?"

Lin Bufan's eyes rolled, and he immediately changed his tone to one of sudden enlightenment: "So this is what you are talking about, Dali sister. You misunderstood. Dasheng sister is my future mother-in-law. I gave her the betrothal gift in advance!"

Zhuge Dali sighed helplessly from the other end of the line: "Alright, I've explained it well enough. But there won't be a next time."

"No problem!" Lin Bufan agreed readily, and then asked, "Sister Dali, you haven't told me where you are yet? I'll go find you right away to take the test!"

"I'm sorry, Brother Bufan. I'm doing an observation experiment on quantum entangled states in the laboratory. How about next time?" Zhuge Dali's voice was filled with a bit of apology and guilt!

Zhuge Dali was already like this, what else could Lin Bufan say? He could only choose to strike the snake while it was still there!

"You can do that next time, but since I'm so considerate, do I have to get two extra points on the test?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment. Zhuge Dali seemed to be seriously considering it: "Okay, then add two points."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Bufan stood there scratching his head, feeling that something was wrong.

Why does it feel like Dali is avoiding me? Why is she asking me to take the test? Is it because she doesn't want me to be her extraordinary father? Is this how she's trying to stop me from getting too close to Dasheng?

One doesn't want me to get too close to her daughter, and the other doesn't want me to get too close to her mother. Am I so unpopular?

Thinking of this, Lin Bufan suddenly shuddered. Impossible, absolutely impossible. He was a beloved young man, how could he be hated? He was just scaring himself!

After shaking his head and getting rid of this terrible idea from his mind, Lin Bufan began to think about which young lady he should visit today!

Is it the intellectual and mature Andy, the simple and quiet Guan Guan, or Lucy who turned Douyin into Sanbenzi?

It’s been a long time since I last visited that bitch Xu Li. I wonder if she has corrupted my beauty?

Also, Zhuzhu, Zhenzhen, Nini... I haven't seen them for a long time!

Sure enough, no wonder the emperors in ancient times had to flip the cards, it was too difficult to choose!

Just when Lin Bufan was struggling to make a decision, his cell phone suddenly rang and the caller ID showed "Zhu Suosuo".

Hey, is this the legendary choice made by fate?

So magical!

"Suosuo, do you miss me? Let me tell you a secret, I'm missing you too!"

"I don't believe you!" Zhu Suosuo said with some dissatisfaction: "I even said good things about you in front of Nansun, saying that you were busy and didn't have time to go home, but you ended up flirting with that old woman. Are you worthy of me and Nansun?"

old woman?

Where did this old woman come from?

Damn, could it be Zhuge Liang?

What's that look? How old am I? You don't understand how good your sister is!

Of course, Lin Bufan would definitely not say these words!

"God, Suosuo!" Lin Bufan cried out exaggeratedly, "I'm busy making money to support my family. Otherwise, how could I be worthy of our beautiful Suosuo?"

"Come on, don't I know all about your tricks?" Zhu Suosuo snorted. "By the way, let's get down to business. Sang Biao asked me to tell you that Gu Jia's adopted dog Mai Rui has some abnormalities."

Abnormal situation?

Could it be that my brother Xu cheated on me?

Ah--

He is indeed a scumbag, he can't resist the slightest temptation!

I don’t know if Sister Gu has noticed. If she has, she will definitely be very upset, and I must go and comfort her as soon as possible!

If he hadn't discovered it, I would have to rush over and expose the disguise of that bastard Xu Huanshan. It's nothing else, I just don't want Sister Gu to be kept in the dark. It has absolutely nothing to do with taking advantage of the situation!

Lin Bufan became more and more excited the more he thought about it, and his tone became hurried: "Suosuo, what's the abnormality?"

"I don't know the details, but Sang Biao told you to go to Brother Biao's Paradise right away. He told you in person." Zhu Suosuo paused, her tone suddenly becoming hesitant. "Boss, can I ask you a question?"

Lin Bufan was still immersed in the fantasy of how to comfort Gu Jia, and did not notice the change in Zhu Suosuo's tone. He just said casually: "Given our relationship, just ask whatever you want to ask!"

After getting Lin Bufan's agreement, Zhu Suosuo finally asked the question in her heart: "Boss, have you ever suffered any psychological trauma?"

trauma?!

What trauma?

Zhu Suosuo's question left Lin Bufan a little confused!

"Suosuo, why do you ask this?"

"Then boss, I told you, you can't be angry?"

Zhu Suosuo's cowardly look before the battle instantly made Lin Bufan realize that she hadn't held back her fart, so he said directly: "No, no, no, if that's the case, then don't say anything!"

"Hey! Boss, you can't do this!" Zhu Suosuo stomped her feet in anger on the other end of the phone: "You're keeping me in suspense like this, it's really uncomfortable!"

Lin Bufan curled his lips: "Then I don't care. If you dare to talk nonsense, I will definitely be angry."

"Then I don't care!" Zhu Suosuo raised her voice in anger: "I'm going to say it!"

Then, Zhu Suosuo fired a barrage of questions from the other end of the line: "Boss, what are you thinking? You leave young and beautiful girls like me and Nansun at home, and instead fall in love with those old women! It's okay if they're married, but you don't even let go of you who have children! Nansun said you must have a mental problem. Did you lack maternal love as a child? Or were you hurt by some aunt? Tell me about it!"

After Zhu Suosuo finished speaking, she hung up the phone without waiting for Lin Bufan to react.

"Hello? Hello!" Lin Bufan stared at the hung up phone, speechless. You at least let me refute you, do you know that this makes me uncomfortable too?

When I called again, the call was hung up. After calling three times in a row, Zhu Suosuo simply turned off her phone.

Lin Bufan, who was feeling depressed and had nowhere to vent, had to send a message to Zhu Suosuo: Young and beautiful girl is the way to describe Jiahe, you are an old cucumber painted green!

Putting away his phone, Lin Bufan drove to Biaoge Paradise. Along the way, he kept thinking about Zhu Suosuo's words, and the more he thought about it, the funnier it became.

"I lack maternal love? Are you kidding me?" Lin Bufan muttered to himself, "Isn't this my philanthropic nature? Mature women have the charm of mature women, and young girls have the vitality of young girls. I call this inclusiveness. Do you understand?"

After Lin Bufan arrived at Brother Biao's Paradise, he looked around but couldn't find Sang Biao. Just when he was wondering, he ran into Zhu Suosuo who was walking towards him.

"Suosuo, have you seen that bastard Sangbiao?" Lin Bufan asked casually.

Zhu Suosuo glanced at Lin Bufan, snorted coldly, and walked straight past him without any intention of paying any attention to him.

"Hey?" Lin Bufan was stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after him: "Suosuo, what's wrong?"

Zhu Suosuo continued walking forward without looking back.

Lin Bufan took two quick steps to stop Zhu Suosuo: "No, why don't you say something? Who made you angry?"

Zhu Suosuo then stopped and snorted coldly, saying, "Old cucumber can't talk!"

Lin Bufan was stunned at first, then he reacted and couldn't help laughing: "Oh, are you angry about this? I was just kidding you!"

"Is it funny?" Zhu Suosuo rolled her eyes. "Do you know how much harm a word like 'old cucumber' can do to a girl?"

"My bad, my bad!" Lin Bufan quickly apologized with a smile: "Our Suosuo is clearly a young and invincible beauty. What about the old cucumber? That's all nonsense!"

Zhu Suosuo turned her head away and didn't look at Lin Bufan, obviously not intending to compromise.

Seeing this, Lin Bufan had no choice but to use his trump card: "How about this, I'll get you a few more bottles of Reverse Clock from Zhenzhen later. Is that okay?"

"Really?" Zhu Suosuo's eyes lit up, but she immediately frowned again: "Humph, who cares!"

"Five bottles, no more!"

Zhu Suosuo finally couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing: "That's more like it! Oh, and remember to get five bottles for Nansun as well!"

"Okay, okay, you two are true love, I was just an accident, okay!" Lin Bufan nodded repeatedly: "Now can you tell me where Sang Biao is?"

"It's on the rooftop." Zhu Suosuo pointed to the ceiling!

Lin Bufan frowned: "Rooftop? Why is it going there?"

"Who knows?" Zhu Suosuo shrugged. "Just like someone else, always doing things that others can't understand!"

Lin Bufan: ...

After saying goodbye to Zhu Suosuo, Lin Bufan took the elevator to the top floor and climbed a flight of stairs to reach the rooftop. When he opened the door, the scene in front of him almost made him drop his jaw -

Sang Biao stood upright, its front paws clasped behind its back, its head slightly raised, gazing at the sky at a 45-degree angle. A gentle breeze ruffled its glossy fur, while the dazzling sunlight gilded it, creating a strange, almost childish, feeling.

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Bufan couldn't help but ask.

Sang Biao slowly turned his head, his face filled with disdain, "You don't know how to appreciate it." He leisurely pulled out his phone and typed: [Foolish mortal, open your dog eyes and take a good look. Everything before you is the kingdom I built for you!]

Lin Bufan's mouth twitched, and a few dark lines appeared on his forehead. He rushed forward, grabbed Sang Biao by the scruff of the neck, and lifted him up. "You're just a dog, why are you pretending to be such a boss? Do you believe I can throw you off this?"

Sang Biao kicked around with all four claws, typing frantically: [How dare you! Let me go! I'm helping you plan your business empire!]

Lin Bufan brought Sang Biao to him and said viciously, "What kind of business plan are you planning? I think you're just getting carried away. Today is a good time for us to settle all the old and new accounts together. I'll give you some rest!"

Just before Lin Bufan was about to strike, Sang Biao frantically struggled to type: [If you dare to hit me, I won't tell you any news about Gu Jia!]

"Yohu? You still dare to threaten me?" Lin Bufan laughed angrily: "Do you believe that I can beat you so hard that your mother won't recognize you?"

Sang Biao suddenly stopped struggling, tears filling his eyes as he typed rapidly: [Wuwuwu… I miss my mom… I’ve been an orphan since I was a child… No one loves me… Now I’m being bullied…]

Seeing Sang Biao's acting skills, which were countless times better than those of young actors, Lin Bufan couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Alright, alright, stop acting. I won't hit you anymore. Tell me the news about Gu Jia."

However, Sang Biao didn't appreciate it at all and continued typing away: [I really miss my mom...]

Lin Bufan looked up at the sky in silence: "When I finish filming the movie, the first stop for our film promotion will be the Kyoto Art College. I'll go there to donate some money, and you can go meet your mother too. Is that okay?"

Sang Biao was stunned, his eyes wide open: [I still have a mother? ]

"Nonsense!" Lin Bufan kicked Sang Biao on the butt: "You don't have a mother? Do you think you popped out of a crack in the rock like Sun Wukong?"

Sang Biao typed angrily: [Then why didn't you tell me my mom was still alive? ]

Lin Bufan rolled his eyes: "You didn't even ask!"

The man and the dog stared at each other and suddenly fell into a strange silence.

After a while, Lin Bufan waved his hands impatiently: "Alright, alright, let's talk about Gu Jia."

Sang Biao finally became serious and quickly typed: [Yesterday, Gu Jia's adopted dog, Mai Rui, came to tell me that when Xu Huanshan returned from a business trip, it smelled the scent of another woman on him, but it was too faint to confirm. But two days ago, it smelled it again, and this time it saw the woman. She often appeared in the lobby downstairs from their building.]

Downstairs lobby?

So this means you have joined a property management company!

Wow, we’re now colleagues!

No, that's not right!

Qu Yaoguai had helped acquire the property management company before, so he should have become his subordinate!
