I Went Viral After Dating a Superstar-Chapter 213 - 203 Parents Come Knocking

Over the past few days, Mu Qianli worked during the day and returned to Pei Jinxi’s house at night. Sometimes she got home early, and sometimes Pei Jinxi did.

If Pei Jinxi stayed up late, she would sleep in their bed by herself.

This went on for a week, until Mu Qianli finally received a call from Mu Zhenghua.

She hesitated at the sight of the number, but eventually picked up, resigned.

"Father..."

"Don’t call me dad, I’m not your father."

"Then... Uncle, what’s up?"

"..." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Mu Zhenghua took a deep breath, again infuriated,

"You... When exactly will you come home? Or do you not plan to come back at all?"

"I thought you’d be mad if I went back."

"You will come back today, or else don’t bother coming back ever!"

He hung up after finishing his words.

Mu Qianli had no choice, and finally entered the house that evening.

"Father..."

Mu Zhenghua sat on the sofa, looking at her. He took a deep breath and finally didn’t explode with anger, but waved her over next to him instead.

"Qian Li, you’re our only daughter, so I’ve always been very indulgent with you. Whatever you say goes, and I hardly ever oppose you, right?"

"Well, it seems like you’ve been opposed to my entering the entertainment industry all along, just unsuccessfully..."

"..." Mu Zhenghua glared at her, "So it’s ’hardly ever!’"

"It’s more like you wanted to oppose everything, but I was just more stubborn..."

"..."

Mu Zhenghua clenched his teeth and glared at her, "Mu Qianli! This is where I draw the line. Just look at that kid, how young he is, how young! Do you know what the relatives are saying about me? They’re like, ’Wow, he’s so lucky to have a son-in-law born in the 2000s, makes him seem so young.’"

"That’s a compliment to you."

"You... Is that a compliment? It’s mockery!"

"Father, you’re so wealthy, chairman of our family company; why should you care what others think? You should be more stubborn, more self-righteous. You’ve worked hard to make so much money to stand at the top, and yet you still care about others’ opinions—how am I supposed to be motivated to make money?"

"..."

Mu Zhenghua, now so angry he pointed at her, said, "No way, I just think he’s unreliable. At his young age, it’s all play. What if you get hurt?"

"Father, I’m your daughter. You’re so smart; how could I be stupid? Isn’t he handsome?"

"Being handsome won’t feed you!"

Mu Zhenggu interjected.

"But being handsome is something to enjoy!"

Mu Qianli stood up and said, "So, it’s not clear who’s playing who, okay!"

"..."

Mu Zhenghua, shaking with anger at her ’dead pig not afraid of boiling water’ attitude, could barely contain himself.

Yet she didn’t care a bit and just turned around and left.

On the other end, Fang Zongli on the phone listened to her rant and said with a laugh, "This is technically your first time cohabiting with someone, and it’s with Pei Jinxi, no less. Hey, what’s it like living with your idol?"

"It’s not really cohabitation; we’ve only been living together for a week..."

Mu Qianli said, her cheeks flushed.

"What does your idol do with you usually?" Fang Zongli asked, full of curiosity.

"Well... he cooks when there’s nothing to do, and at night before bed we play games and chat."

"Just chat? Tee hee hee, are you doing one thing while chatting, or chatting while doing, or is it purely physical communication?"

Mu Qianli cursed at her.

Then, she saw a message from Pei Jinxi to herself, "What do you want for dinner tonight?"
