"You know the house belongs to your parents now, do you?"
Meng Jixi sneered and continued bluntly, "Besides, you're getting ahead of yourself."
"You just don't have to be an unfilial son who goes against his parents anymore."
Even without this matter—
He'd left home when he was young, and aside from asking his parents for money, he'd hardly ever gone back to visit them.
Could a son like that really be considered filial?
Mu Tan Song fell silent.

"Mm, mm. I'll pay it back."
The man hurriedly agreed.
"Eldest Brother gave you three months."
"You can pay him back in two installments of one hundred thousand each."
Xiao Xiao's words finally cooled the flush
