Chapter 911 - Viciousness

"And that’s what happened, Father," Bacon’s voice said on the phone.

Jin Liwei’s eyes flashed with coldness after hearing his AI son’s full report about how Wei Lan made a scene in the indoor forest. At first, it was Ketchup who called his phone but his AI daughter felt too upset and indignant to properly explain everything to him. In the end, the calm and collected Bacon kicked his older sister aside and was the one who managed to explain the full incident to Jin Liwei in a clear and concise manner.

"Father, should Bacon instruct our security staff to kick Grandmother Wei Lan out of our home? I don’t want Mother to become distressed if she hears about the ruckus Grandmother Wei Lan caused in front of our family members and the rest of the guests."

Jin Liwei pressed his lips together and seriously considered Bacon’s suggestion. However, he could only sigh and say, "No need. Your mom will surely notice your Grandmother Wei Lan’s absence during the ceremony and will wonder what happened. I don’t want your mom worrying about trivial things. Your mom should only feel happiness today. I’ll be the one to personally warn your Grandmother Wei Lan later when I and your uncles head to the indoor forest before your mother and her entourage arrive."

"Understood, Father."

Bacon’s voice sounded bored as usual but Jin Liwei already knew his AI son enough to detect the kid’s disappointment. He knew that Bacon had an instinctive thirst for punishing others, regardless of the person’s identity. Even he and Nikolai weren’t exempt to the kid’s line of fire. The kid already warned them before that he would never forgive them even if they were his father and uncle if he and Nikolai ever hurt Bacon’s beloved mother.

Despite Bacon’s innate viciousness, Jin Liwei wasn’t disconcerted at all. On the contrary, he felt extremely proud that Bacon was very protective of his mother. Jin Liwei deluded himself into thinking that his AI son inherited such a manly trait from him. The kid was indeed his son!

"How’s your mom?" Jin Liwei asked next. "Is she finished getting ready yet?"

"Not yet, Father. Mother slept on her chair while her glam team was applying her makeup and styling her hair. They just managed to wake her up seven minutes and forty-six seconds ago so that she could change into her wedding dress."

He frowned, worry flashing in his eyes. "How’s her condition? Is she feeling sick?"

"No, Father. Big Sister Ketchup is monitoring Mother right now and she reports that our mother appears to feel refreshed after waking up from a long nap. Don’t worry, Father. The doctor is with Mother at all times and will make sure that she’s alright. If not, Bacon will punish the doctor for negligence."

Jin Liwei didn’t reprimand his AI son’s vicious words because he also thought the same way. He hired the private doctor to take care of his wife’s health, so she should do her job well if she wanted to keep it.

"Good job, Bacon. Your uncles and I will head to the indoor forest shortly. Inform your mother’s entourage so that they know."

"Understood, Father."

"En."

"Father," Bacon called.

"Hm?"

"Please relax and don’t trip while walking down the aisle. Bacon doesn’t want Father to look uncool on your own wedding day. It’s not classy."

"You—" Jin Liwei didn’t know whether to laugh or smack the little smartass’ bottom.

"Bacon shall go now. Good luck, Father."

Jin Liwei couldn’t help but chuckle. "Alright. Thanks."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The phone call ended.

"What did the little devil say?" a devilish voice asked behind him.

Jin Liwei turned around and saw Lu Zihao—no, the man was Nikolai, not his fifth brother.

"You better stop calling my son ’little devil’ or he’ll continue pestering you about giving him a salary raise or a bonus as compensation for his emotional distress."

Nikolai rolled his eyes but still continued to ask, "Well, what did the kid say?"

Jin Liwei told him about what Wei Lan did in the indoor forest. As he expected, Nikolai’s expression turned cold and vicious. A bloodthirsty aura exploded from him. At this point, Jin Liwei was already a little used to it so he wasn’t as affected as before.

"Whoa, Fifth Bro! What are you doing?! Why are you acting so scary over there? Don’t pick a fight with the groom on his own wedding day, okay? Xiao Xiu will murder all of us if something happens to her husband! We already experienced her mood swings. Pregnant women are scary!" Yu Mo appeared behind them while munching on a biscuit.

Nikolai caught himself and retracted his heavy aura before reverting to his Lu Zihao persona which was still quite oppressive compared to the original happy-go-lucky Fifth Brother.

"I wasn’t picking a fight with Third Brother," he said.

Jin Liwei observed his brother-in-law pretending to be his fifth brother. Ever since he learned that his fifth brother’s remnant still resided in his body and could even take over for a short time, his instinctive repulsion against Nikolai Vetrov’s evil past had gradually diminished. Now he didn’t mind the man calling him "Third Brother" even if it was just for show to everyone.

Nikolai also seemed to have mellowed a little regarding his rejection against their brotherhood. Jin Liwei honestly thought that the man would cut off all ties with them once and for all, but to his surprise, Nikolai appeared to have changed his mind and reconnected with all the sworn brothers especially in the days before the wedding.

Jin Liwei had a feeling that this change had something to do with his fifth brother’s remnant. Lu Zihao had a way of persuading others.

Or maybe the change was simply because Nikolai didn’t want to upset his pregnant sister on her wedding day.

Whichever the case may be, Jin Liwei felt relieved that Nikolai finally stopped being so damn difficult. Nikolai was one of the top reasons why Jin Liwei’s baby girl felt so stressed before.

Lin Yehan, Wang Yingjie and Jin Chonglin appeared behind Yu Mo.

"Big Bro, it’s time," Jin Chonglin said.
