"Ha, scumbag!"
"What?"
"I said, scumbag!"
After realizing he had misspoken, Ximen Lang couldn't believe that the first person to call him out was his own Cheap Old Uncle.
"Uncle, are you serious?"
"Of course I am. You ignored your own children just to enjoy your damn world for two, and you still want to say you're not a scumbag?"
That one sentence rendered Ximen Lang speechless. His uncle continued.
"And never mind the fact that your so-called world for two isn't even just the two of you. What gives you the nerve to call it that?"
"How many wives do you have? Don't you have any idea? Just counting the ones I know about, there are more than I can count on one hand! Ask yourself honestly—is that really acceptable?"
He was about to take advantage of the topic to continue criticizing Ximen Lang and settle the score for the time when their entire family had ganged up on him, as well as for the way they had secretly enjoyed watching his misfortune from behind the scenes.
Then he heard...
"It's not more than one hand. It's at least more than two hands, and there'll definitely be even more in the future?!"

"We..."
His father-in-law was just about to defend himself when Bel'Veth cut him off impatiently.
"What do you mean, 'we'?! Did anything we said matter?! Xiao Sha insisted on throwing herself at him. What could we do?!"
