BHBF Chapter 95.1

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 5) Chapter 95.1: The Son Is The Villian (13)

“Who said that?” Ying Siyi had to put on a patient expression in front of the camera.
“Dad said so.”
Even though the aroma of the seafood feast was irresistible, Shao Yi didn’t touch a single bite.
Ying Siyi went to great lengths to prepare a seafood feast to maintain her image as a good mother, hoping to present a good image in front of the camera. However, after she finished preparing everything, Shao Yi told her that he couldn’t eat it, which immediately made her lose her temper.
However, out of concern for the cameras, Ying Siyi held back. But she couldn’t bear to see her efforts go to waste, so she asked, “Why won’t Dad let you eat seafood?”
“Dad said I can’t eat it,” Shao Yi said. He was young and couldn’t explain the specific reasons.
Ying Siyi thought carefully and had no recollection of Shao Yi not being able to eat seafood. She thought that even if he couldn’t eat it, he could still eat a bite or two in front of the camera.
Ying Siyi leaned closer to Shao Yi and whispered, “Eat less, just a couple of bites.”
Shao frowned and said, “But Dad said I can’t eat it.”

The child had a loud voice, and with a microphone clipped to his body, it immediately and clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

At this moment, Mr. Zhang, who was with the director, also approached the director and whispered a few words to him. The director then stopped filming and leaned over to say, “Ms. Ying, the child is allergic to seafood, so please don’t force him to eat it.”

Shao Yu was worried about Ying Siyi, so he not only instructed the production team, but also asked Zhang Ming’s father to accompany the crew throughout the process. Shao Yu didn’t trust ordinary nannies, but Father Zhang was an elder in the family who had always doted on Shao Yi. With him watching over her, Shao Yu could feel completely at ease.

Ying Siyi was unhappy and said, “You say the child has an allergy, so it’s an allergy? Who is the child’s real mother?”

Ying Siyi spoke with conviction, and the director hesitated, glancing at Father Zhang.

Mr. Zhang felt increasingly that Shao Yu was prescient. The director couldn’t say, but Mr. Zhang wasn’t afraid of Ying Siyi. He said, “Yu has told me repeatedly that Yi Yi can’t eat seafood. Miss Ying, don’t make things difficult for the child. If he suffers later, won’t you, as his mother, feel heartbroken?”

Ying Siyi has little affection for her child. Compared to feeling sorry for her son’s allergies, she feels more sorry for herself for having wasted her efforts: “Even if he can’t eat it, what’s wrong with eating just a little bit, just a bite or two?”

Mr. Zhang’s face turned cold, and he said, “Don’t you understand what ‘can’t eat’ means? It means you can’t touch a single bite. If you continue like this, I’ll take the child and leave right now.”

Ying Siyi was furious and ran to a corner to call Shao Yu to complain.

After answering the phone and hearing the whole story, Shao Yu said, “The child really can’t eat it. Why did you force him to eat it?”

Ying Siyi initially chose a seafood feast because other dishes were more difficult to prepare, and also because the name sounded appealing. After considering these factors, she was unwilling to give it up and repeatedly emphasized her hard work to Shao Yu.

But Shao Yu said, “How hard can it be to cook a meal? What if something happens to the child?”

Ying Siyi started badmouthing Father Zhang again.

After only getting to the beginning, Shao Yu said, “Siyi, Uncle Zhang is like my father. I hope you can respect him as much as you respect my father.”

Ying Siyi was devastated when she heard this.

She had finally waited for Shao’s meddlesome father to die, and now Shao Yu had found her another father-in-law!

Shao Yu then added, “You are so kind and filial, you will definitely get along well with Uncle Zhang.”

Ying Siyi was unhappy and thought Shao Yu was a simp, so she said unhappily, “I don’t want to. He’s just a stranger.”

Upon hearing this, Shao Yu paused, as if suddenly realizing something, and said, “That’s right. You and I are actually strangers now, so I shouldn’t make such a request of you.”

Before Ying Siyi could explain, Gu Jiaying’s voice came from the other end of the phone: “Old Shao, I don’t quite understand this part of the script.”

Even though Gu Jiaying was speaking in a normal voice and at a normal pace, to Ying Siyi, it sounded like Gu Jiaying was deliberately seducing Shao Yu.

“Okay, I’ll come over and explain it to you slowly.” Shao Yu said softly.

Ying Siyi sensed something was wrong when she heard this and quickly said, “You’re not allowed to go looking for her!”

“Siyi, don’t be unreasonable. I have things to do and I’ve been very busy these past two days. Don’t call me about trivial matters,” Shao Yu said.

Before Ying Siyi could say anything, Shao Yu hung up the phone.

Ying Siyi stood in the corner, unable to come to her senses for a long time. She couldn’t believe that Shao Yu would hang up on her like that one day.

Gu Jiaying!

Ying Siyi uttered the name viciously, wishing she could fly to Shao Yu’s side immediately and completely crush Gu Jiaying, this philandering woman.

“Teacher Ying, shall we continue filming?” the director asked.

Ying Siyi put away her phone, turned around, and returned to the dining table unhappily.

The director then looked at Ying Siyi with a questioning gaze.

“If he can’t eat, then he can’t eat. Let him pretend. I worked so hard to prepare this big meal; it can’t all be for nothing.” After saying that, Ying Siyi urged Shao Yi to pretend to eat.

Shao Yi looked at Ying Siyi with great confusion. At the age of six, the child already had the most basic judgment ability. He naturally realized that his mother was teaching him to lie, and immediately said, “The teacher said that children cannot lie.”

Mr. Zhang was also very angry and said, “Even a child knows not to lie. How can you be a mother? You’re not even as good as a child!”

The film crew members all looked at Ying Siyi with strange eyes at this moment.

Ying Siyi’s agent quickly said to Mr. Zhang, “Grandpa, don’t be angry. It’s just that the child is pretending. It’s not like he’s lying, since he’s not actually eating.”

“If faking eating isn’t lying, then what is? He’s only six years old. Aren’t you afraid of setting a bad example for him?” Mr. Zhang’s eyes were full of disapproval. He then turned to the director and said, “If you’re determined to corrupt the child, then we’ll leave now.”

“If we leave now, we’ll have to pay compensation for breach of contract,” Ying Siyi said.

Mr. Zhang said, “So what if we have to pay compensation? Nothing is more important than the child!”

Mr. Zhang spoke with such confidence because Shao Yu had instructed him beforehand that he could afford to pay the compensation, and that the money had been prepared long ago. Therefore, Mr. Zhang was not afraid at all.

Upon hearing this, the director immediately tried to appease her, since their television station wanted Shao Yu’s next drama and didn’t want things to get so ugly.

After appeasing Mr. Zhang, the director turned to Ying Siyi and said, “Teacher Ying, why don’t you make something else that the children can eat?”

The filming location was Ying Siyi’s residence. Ying Siyi’s kitchen was never used, so there were no other ingredients in it except for the seafood she had prepared this time. Ying Siyi did not want to reveal her preparation steps, and after working for so long in vain, she did not want to do anything more at this moment.

Ying Siyi remained silent, and the situation became tense for a moment.

The director urged her twice more, but Ying Siyi remained silent, seemingly unwilling to cooperate.

At this moment, her agent came over and said, “How about this, we can buy a few more vegetables and put them together for the child to eat.”

Although the director felt this was inappropriate, he couldn’t just stop filming now, so he could only urge the production crew to buy the equipment.

The food, still warm from the purchase, was delivered quickly and arranged together.

Ying Siyi put on the act of a good mother and planned to feed Shao Yi.

“I can do it myself. Dad says a real man should eat by himself,” Shao Yi said.

Ying Siyi was taken aback, but still insisted, “Mom usually doesn’t have time to take care of you. Now that we’re finally together, I want to take good care of you.”

Upon hearing this, Shao Yi couldn’t continue to object, so he let Ying Siyi feed him.

While feeding her child, Ying Siyi kept asking, “Is Mommy’s cooking delicious?”

Shao Yi answered honestly, “Mom, these vegetables were bought by that aunt, not cooked by you.”

Ying Siyi was so angry she wanted to smash the bowl.

The agent, who was watching the filming of the program, had already skillfully approached the director and whispered, “Director Lin, please delete this part.”

The director responded and continued to watch Ying Siyi and Shao Yi filming.

Ying Siyi suppressed her anger and stopped asking questions that might backfire, instead obediently feeding him the meal.

After lunch, Ying Siyi wanted to take her son for a nap and said she would tell him a story, but Shao Yi shook his head.

“Aren’t you very sleepy?” Ying Siyi noticed Shao Yi yawning.

Shao nodded, but said, “Dad said we should go for a walk after dinner to help with digestion.”

Helpless, Ying Siyi could only get up and take her child out for a walk.

Ying Siyi changed her shoes and went out first, but Shao Yi lagged behind. The little boy was in the entryway, very obediently changing his own shoes, and the camera honestly recorded this scene.

The elevator doors opened, and Ying Siyi stepped inside first. Even after the doors closed, she didn’t feel anything was wrong.

However, a cameraman whispered a reminder: “Teacher Ying, Yi Yi hasn’t come in yet.”

People who don’t have children have certain habits that can’t be faked. Ying Siyi didn’t expect to make such a basic mistake. Instead of pressing the elevator button, she immediately said to the person filming, “Cut this part later.”

Soon Ying Siyi returned to her floor and saw Shao Yi standing outside the door, with the film crew behind him. The child, left behind by his mother, showed no fear and was talking to the film crew.

“Aren’t you scared at all? Your mother is gone,” the director said with a smile.

Shao Yi, however, looked obediently at Mr. Zhang behind the director.

Mr. Zhang said, “Yi-yi is such a good boy.”

When Mr. Zhang saw Ying Siyi coming out of the elevator, his eyes instantly turned to disapproval.

Ying Siyi had been holding back her anger all day. She had originally intended to put on a good show, but when she saw Shao Yi, she couldn’t hold back any longer and scolded, “Why didn’t you follow along? You didn’t even say anything when you fell behind?”

Shao Yi was taken aback when he heard this. He was small, so he was inevitably slower when putting on his shoes, and Ying Siyi didn’t wait for him at all.

Hearing her say that, Shao Yi couldn’t help but lower his head, wondering if it was really because he hadn’t kept up that he couldn’t help but lower his head.

The child’s pitiful appearance made the film crew feel sorry for him.
