Despite the seriousness of their conversation, Iris couldn't help but chuckle after hearing what her AI cat son said. She even snickered upon seeing her big brother roll his eyes.
The TV display now showed Lu Zihao and a small image of Bacon at the lower left corner of the screen.
"Don't blame Bacon, Big Brother," she said when she finally controlled her laughter. "Bacon is right."
"Thank you, Mother, for proving that Bacon is indeed right." The black cat on the TV display looked bored as usual, but his tail started rotating like helicopter rotor blades.
Jin Liwei opened a water bottle and handed it to his wife. His eyes were also filled with amusement.
Iris gave him a smile of thanks before taking a sip of water and handing the bottle back to him.
Lu Zihao couldn't take it anymore. "Enough of this pointless conversation!"
"Uncle Zihao, talking about one's family is never pointless unless you're a useless human being," Bacon once again blocked him.
In the end, Lu Zihao didn't bother arguing with the savage AI cat anymore. He had worked with Bacon for long enough to know that his AI cat nephew would never miss the chance to trade barbed words with him whenever the brat had a chance.
If not for Bacon's extraordinary skills and abilities, Lu Zihao wouldn't even want to spend a lot of time working with such a two-faced, savage brat every day.
He couldn't help but complain and ask his sister, "Which bastard did you base this brat's sh*tty personality on?"
Iris almost couldn't stop her laughter from bursting out.
But before she could think of an excuse to tell her brother, Bacon also made a complaint against his uncle.
"Mother, Uncle Zihao just described Bacon's personality as sh*tty. It's not classy. Bacon's feelings are severely hurt. Father, please help Bacon demand compensation from Uncle Zihao for emotional distress."
Before Iris and Jin Liwei could even react, Lu Zihao was already sighing. Then in a resigned tone, he said, "I'll deposit money to you later, okay? Brat, just let me talk to your parents in peace! Goddammit, this brat is the bane of me!"
Bacon's response was to turn around and show his fluffy butt. Ah, he was now sulking.
Lu Zihao scoffed at the AI cat's attitude.
Iris saw this and shook her head, sighing. Her eyes, however, were still full of amusement. Jin Liwei had a similar expression.
After this lighthearted interlude, the adults finally returned to their earlier serious conversation.
"It's useless for me to continue personally interrogating those mangy mutts," Lu Zihao said. "I'll leave them to my subordinates. Perhaps they would give in and finally open their dirty mouths to confess after some time passes. If not, the sharks in the ocean should be hungry for fresh meat."
Iris sighed. This was what she feared as well.
She already made several attempts to convince her big brother to put his revenge plan against the Vetrov enemies on hold and prioritize enjoying his new life.
She had hoped that Long Jinjing and the birth of the Lu twins would make him re-evaluate his priorities, but by the look of things, it seemed that he was still intent on pursuing his original vendetta.
In addition, Iris felt guilty because Lu Zihao had been working so hard since Little Jun got kidnapped. He was the one who personally rescued the child, captured the perpetrators, interrogated them, and now he was investigating the identities of the real mastermind of the kidnapping.
"I'll visit Big Sister Jinjing and my nephews more," Iris announced.
"En." Jin Liwei supported her decision.
"Bacon is sure that Aunt Jinjing and the Lu twins will appreciate Mother for visiting them more often," Bacon said, his black tail swishing side to side. "Indeed, Bacon's mother is an absolute class act of the highest level. Father is truly lucky to have Mother in his life."
Of course, the black AI cat didn't miss the chance to uplift his mother, while taking a (slight) dig at his father. Not too much compared to what he always did to his Uncle Zihao, though.
Fortunately, Jin Liwei agreed with Bacon. "Yes, I'm indeed lucky to have your mom."
Bacon's tail once again rotated until it blurred.
