BHBF Chapter 74.5

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 4) Chapter 74.5: Playful Son (11)

But the result was contrary to expectations. The husband did not get furious, but felt a little aggrieved instead.

Xiao Han just wanted to rub her eyes to see if she was seeing things.

Before Shao Yu could speak, Shao Jialiang said, “Brother, what are you doing in a gambling house that is so filthy and full of smoke?”

Shao Jialiang read books of sages, so naturally he couldn’t stand places like gambling houses and brothels. He felt that they were dirty even after hearing about them.

Shao Jiashan said softly: “I also said that I just want to go and have a look.”

Having said that, he didn’t dare to look directly at Shao Yu.

It was precisely because Shao Yu had been treating him well recently that Shao Jiashan dared to say such things. He was also prepared to be scolded by Shao Yu.

“Aren’t you afraid that I will scold you for saying that?” Shao Yu asked.

Shao Jiashan nodded and said, “I am afraid, but I cannot lie to my father. Besides, I have already discussed this matter with them a long time ago, so I cannot refuse.”

Seeing that Shao Yu was not too angry, Shao Jiashan said, “Don’t worry, father. I won’t learn bad things. I just go there to see the world.”

Shao Yu chuckled when he heard this. He believed that Shao Jiashan really wanted to go and see it all, but places like gambling houses always had an inexplicable attraction to people, and once you go in, it is difficult to get out.

“I believe you, go if you want to.” Shao Yu said.

Shao Jiashan suddenly raised his head, as if to confirm whether Shao Yu was speaking in a sarcastic manner.

Shao Yu looked at his son’s silly face and continued, “But you promised me that you would go home every night.”

Shao Jiashan hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, father. I’ll just go take a look and come back soon. I won’t be late in going home.”

“I can’t rest assured.” Shao Yu replied.

Shao Jiashan:…

Shao Yu said: “Since you want to see it, take me and your brother with you, let’s see it together.”

Shao Jiashan: ?

Shao Jiashan looked at Shao Yu seriously, as if to confirm the truthfulness of his words.

Shao Jialiang looked reluctant, and it was obvious that he hated these filthy places. However, because of Shao Yu, he did not refute on the spot.

Instead, it was Xiao Han who got anxious first and said, “How could Liang’er go to that kind of place!”

Shao Yu asked, “Madam, why is your attitude so fierce?”

Xiao Han was afraid that her husband would insist on his own way, so she didn’t think much about it and said directly: “Liang’er is a scholar. He will take the imperial examination in the future. He must not be involved in these dirty things!”

Shao Yu looked at his wife with a subtle expression.

Xiao Han realized belatedly that she seemed to have said something wrong. She looked at the three children, and saw that except Shao Jiashan, none of them noticed anything. Shao Jialiang and Shao Jiashu were a little surprised at this time.

“You don’t want Liang’er to go to that kind of place, but why aren’t you worried that Shan’er will learn bad things there?” Shao Yu asked.

When Shao Jiashan first mentioned that he wanted to go to the casino, only Shao Jialiang was present who strongly opposed it. Xiao Han said nothing. But now that it was her own son’s turn, Xiao Han started to make a fuss.

After Shao Yu’s reminder, Shao Jiashan suddenly came to his senses. He felt as if he had been punched. Although there were no injuries on his face, he felt a dull pain in his heart.

Shao Jiashan knew that Xiao Han was not his biological mother, but he felt that Xiao Han had been very good to him over the years and was also his biological aunt, no different from his biological mother. Therefore, he always thought that he should treat her as his biological mother.

Just yesterday, Shao Jiashan was planning to withstand a beating from Shao Yu for the sake of Xiao Han’s reputation.

But now that Shao Yu has pointed it out, he seems to have just realized that his biological mother and his biological aunt are different after all.

Even though Xiao Han said so, Shao Jiashan was still the first to come out to defend her, and tried to explain to Shao Yu: “Father, I am used to fooling around outside, but my brother is different. It is normal for mother to be worried.”

Xiao Han couldn’t help but look at Shao Jiashan, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn’t say it, just taking it as her agreement with Shao Jiashan’s statement.

Seeing that the mother and son were willing to fight and be beaten, Shao Yu stopped dwelling on the matter and said, “It is because your brother has never seen this before that you should let him see it. Only when he has seen it and has a better understanding of it, he will know how to deal with such things in the future.”

However, Xiao Han was still worried. She was worried sick about her two children and was afraid that they would go astray.

Shao Yu looked at Shao Jialiang again and said, “Gambling houses can indeed tempt people, but if you become an official in the future, the temptations you will face will be a thousand times greater than that of a gambling house. Do you have confidence?”

Shao Jialiang realized that his father actually wanted to test him, so he no longer refused the trip to the gambling house.

Shao Yu didn’t keep an eye on his eldest son all the time, he had two other children to take care of.

“You study all day long. If you feel tired, get up and walk around. Don’t hurt your body.” Shao Yu advised Shao Jialiang.

Shao Jialiang’s life is rather monotonous, with only one thing to do: studying.

“Besides doing needlework in the room, you can also read books and play the piano when you have nothing to do. You can read all the books in my study.” Shao Yu said to his daughter.
