119 Flawless Acting

"Mom, this is not going to work." Li Yuan threw his chin over his palm, muttering under his breath.

Li Yuan had hoped to redo his losses after losing the bet against his cousin. But it was proving to be more difficult than he had expected.

God, he should have known better than involving his mother in this.

"You, just-just shut up! Don't strain my weak nerves. This kind of a bastard you are, knowing nothing better than bringing bad news for your mother? Why can't you be a little more responsible like your elder brother?" Li Shanguaan began her lecturing.

Li Yuan felt seriously wronged. "If I had not brought the news, you would have never discovered anything. You would have only learned about it when things had already spiraled out of hands." He looked like a puppy who had been kicked for innocent yapping.

Li Shanguaan did not care for Li Yuan's puppy face. Instead, the idea of having things spiraling out of hands sent her into a panic.
