Chapter 456: Chapter 456: The Hypocritical Old Man!
The little crow sighed, "Ah, the old days when immortals had such great clothes, layer upon layer, and your master could smile and face it. Tsk tsk, boys these days can’t handle it."
Fu Xiqin: "Ancestor is still my ancestor, but the master is no longer my master, boo hoo hoo...!"
Right now, Gu Jingyan’s persona as a proud, elegant youth was on the verge of collapsing.
His face flushed red, he fled back to the Gu Family.
As soon as he stepped in, Mr. Gu clung to him, asking endless questions, such as whether Zuzi liked the snacks, if she had gained or lost weight since he last saw her, and which major she was leaning towards...
Gu Jingyan coolly replied a couple of words, and upon hearing "major," he suddenly recalled that Mr. Gu held a favorable view of Zuzi pursuing an archaeology major, claiming it contributes to the country and is very noble.
Since the old man’s prejudice against the archaeology major has been reversed...
Gu Jingyan blurted out, "I’m applying for the archaeology major, you don’t object anymore, right?"
The room fell silent for a good thirty seconds.
Mr. Gu, leaning on his cane, breathed heavily.
Suddenly, he lifted his cane and struck Gu Jingyan on the back, "You unfilial descendant, always thinking about digging graves. Did you reflect in Qingcheng and end up with pig brains? Still want to dig graves?! No way! Not happening! I don’t agree!"
Gu Jingyan blocked the cane, furious, "You didn’t react this way when Zuzi applied for archaeology."
Double standards, the old man is too much!
Mr. Gu huffed and puffed, "You really want to compare yourself to your sister? Go to the bathroom and look in the mirror. Do you have your sister’s intelligence and quick wit, mastering whatever she learns? Your sister studies archaeology and can produce world-renowned research just from her office. You study archaeology? Haha, you’ll dig graves all day and still find nothing, might even dig yourself into madness! Struck by lightning recently, haven’t you been? Why don’t the ancestors up there strike you a few more times to wake you up?"
Gu Jingyan: "..."
Stop finding excuses for your double standards!

When Qin Tao returned from her run, Sun Jiao was feeding Gu Pinting cherries in the dining room.
"Oh my darling star daughter, let mommy feed you, don’t eat cherries yourself with lipstick on. Open your mouth, ah—"
Gu Pinting, eating impatiently, said, "That’s enough, enough, I need to rush off to film. Director Zhao said our script has competitors eyeing us. We need to speed up the filming to get it released sooner and become a hit sooner."
"Alright, alright, my big star daughter, you’re working hard, mommy will pick you up tonight..."
After sending off Gu Pinting happily, Sun Jiao couldn’t resist boasting to Qin Tao, "My daughter is just outstanding, she’s about to shoot up to a first-tier actress. Unlike some people’s sons, idly making Mr. Gu angry with every move, hehe."
Qin Tao wiped the sweat from her forehead indifferently and made her way upstairs, "Children have their own luck, no point in overthinking."
Sun Jiao: "Hehe, that’s because thinking won’t help you, huh? What else can your son do besides digging graves? Admit it, you’re such a failure as a mom, so your child is just as much a failure as you!"
Qin Tao: "I don’t think my son is a failure."
She paused, glanced at Sun Jiao, and said, "At least my son has strong self-care abilities, eating fruits all by himself, unlike a cripple waiting to be fed."
"You, are you implying my daughter is a cripple?!"
"I didn’t say that. If that’s how you feel, then so be it."
"You fat cow, where do you get off being so superior!"
"Zuzi said those who curse others should beware the curse ultimately striking themselves. If you aspire to be a ’fat cow’ someday, keep cursing like this."
