399. Chapter 399: Love Rivals Showdown 4

At that moment I heard Lao Ma's voice from outside: "Time to eat."

"Oh, got it, Liu Xi, time to eat." I shouted loudly on purpose, wanting Lao Ma to hear.

"If I go to your place and see Yunxuan doing something, I won't let it go. Time to eat." After saying that, I hung up the phone.

Liu Xi looked at me after I hung up, gave me a teasing look, and said: "You two have made up, huh? How are you going to thank me?"

"How should I thank you?" I said, still angry, glaring at Liu Xi.

"My twenty dollars a week." Liu Xi said, deliberately clutching his chest.

I took out a hundred dollars from my pocket and threw it at him, saying: "Here. Later I'll go to Shangguan Yun's to get it back; it's all his fault." Then I walked out.

Liu Xi was delighted now, and followed behind me, bouncing along.

While eating, Liu Xi kept observing Lao Ma's face, seeing that her mood seemed pretty good, so he grinned and said to Lao Ma: "Mom, can't you not deduct my twenty dollars? I know I was wrong, isn't that enough?"

"No way. Anyway, you'd just waste all that money." Lao Ma seemed determined.

Liu Xi secretly tugged at my shirt, so I also smiled and said to Lao Ma: "Mom, Liu Xi only did it this once; let it go, please forgive him this time."

"Xuanxuan, don't speak for him; he's my son I carried for ten months—don't I know him?" Lao Ma said, taking a bite of rice.

I looked helplessly at Liu Xi to show I'd done my best, but I didn't expect him to glare at me fiercely; I guess he's cursing me in his heart—after all, that whole thing was my fault.

Helpless, I had to speak up for Liu Xi again: "Mom, how about this—just deduct for one month?"

Lao Ma ate while thinking, not speaking; Liu Xi saw the chance and quickly agreed: "Yeah, Mom, just deduct one month."

Lao Ma then lifted her head, looked at Liu Xi, and said: "Alright then, this won't happen again—just deduct one month." After saying that, she continued eating.

This time I smiled smugly at Liu Xi, showing I had the ability.
