Chapter 247: Chapter 168: Nebula Award Winner Singing at a Bar!

My own daughter is hugging Shen Qiushan!

Even so, it’s not too late, there’s still a chance to salvage the situation, if he doesn’t come, that is.

Otherwise, it will verify what he said at home; next year, they might be holding a grandson.

"Dad, are you here for a drink too?"

Since he already had a face-off with this father-in-law over the phone, Shen Qiushan decided to embrace the situation as it is, and asked with a cheeky smile.

"Cut the crap!"

"What were you doing just now?"

Lin Moxuan glared at Shen Qiushan fiercely, looking like he was interrogating a suspect.

"Momo was a bit emotional."

"I was comforting her."

Shen Qiushan shrugged lightly, appearing relaxed.

"Comforting?"

"Who needs your comfort!!"

Lin Moxuan rebukes angrily, "I’m telling you, stop having designs on Momo!"

"Or else I’ll have to chop you up!"

Shen Qiushan spread his hands, not responding.

At this moment, Lin Xiamo, having come to her senses, walked to her father and pulled his sleeve: "Dad, let’s talk about this at home."

Lin Moxuan’s uproar had attracted not only Hu Tingting and the others, but also three bar staff.

"Yes, let’s talk at home."

Chen Qingzhu hurriedly chimed in to support.

Although Lin Moxuan was very angry, he understood the adage "don’t air your dirty laundry in public," so he took a deep breath, suppressed his fury, and said to Shen Qiushan, "I wasn’t joking with you just now!"

"Get out of here right now!"

"Dad, things aren’t like you think. Momo and I really have nothing going on now..."

Shen Qiushan explained.

However, the word "now" once again irritated Lin Moxuan.

He immediately widened his eyes and instinctively raised his hand.

"Dad, don’t get agitated."

"I’ll leave right away!"

"I have classes tomorrow."

Better to retreat than suffer losses, Shen Qiushan shrank his neck, quickly slipped out of the lounge, and hurried out of the bar.

As he went to get his car, he saw Lin Jiayu and Fang Xiaoya hailing a cab by the roadside.

Actually, he had already spotted them when he was singing on stage.

"Jiayu, Xiaoya, let me give you a ride!"

Shen Qiushan waved at the two.

"Brother-in-law!"

"That would be great!"

Seeing Shen Qiushan, the two young girls were very excited.

Lin Jiayu figured there was no need for a cab, and they’d be dropped off right at school.

Fang Xiaoya, of course, had other little thoughts; she aspired to become the stepmother of Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao.

For her, this kind of interaction was quite rare and valuable.

"Brother-in-law, did you see my dad just now?"

After getting in Shen Qiushan’s car, Lin Jiayu asked.

"I did see him."

Shen Qiushan nodded.

Silently muttering to himself: Not only did I see him, but he also scolded me.

"Was he here to catch me?"

"Catch you?"

Shen Qiushan glanced at his naïve sister-in-law and said, "Hmm, very likely!"

"Sigh, I shouldn’t have shared the live video in the family group."

"But even if the video was shared, it doesn’t mean he was there live. How did my dad find out!"

"Luckily, he didn’t see me..."

The "narrow escape" was written all over Lin Jiayu’s cute little face.

Shen Qiushan said nothing, evidently the little sister-in-law hadn’t realized that his relationship with Lin Xiamo had somewhat changed.

"Old Shen, was that song ’Red Rose’ one you wrote?"

"It’s super catchy!"

Fang Xiaoya took the opportunity to chime in.

"Really? Is it really that good?"

Shen Qiushan asked offhandedly. After all, it was a song awarded by the system; he wasn’t sure if it would be well-received.

"Of course it’s true, it’s super, super good."

"I was totally absorbed; I was your book fan before, now I’m also your music fan!"

Fang Xiaoya nodded repeatedly, showing that she was being sincere.

However, Shen Qiushan was also aware of the little girl’s intentions; she was secretly aiming to be his "partner."

The evaluation might not be very objective.

"Old Shen, you could debut right on the spot!"

"You were really awesome!"

Fang Xiaoya praised again with a smile, her eyes filled with little stars.

"By the way, especially that line, ’The unattainable is always in a stir!’"

"Simply legendary!"

Fang Xiaoya added, the lyrics struck a chord with her heart.

Because what you can’t get, always stirs!

Recently, Shen Qiushan’s image often inexplicably pops into her mind...

On the other side.

Lin Xiamo was "escorted" home by her dad.

However, on the way back, since Lin Moxuan needed to drive back the Passat they came in, the escorting duty was temporarily handed over to Chen Qingzhu.

Sitting in the front passenger seat of the Audi A4L, she waited until the red light to ask: "Momo, tell mom the truth, how far have you and Qiushan gotten?"

"Mom, we really don’t have the kind of relationship you and dad imagine."

"I was just a bit emotional today." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Lin Xiamo explained in a low voice.

"Then what are you thinking, be honest with mom."

Chen Qingzhu pursued.

"I don’t know."

Lin Xiamo shook her head; she was indeed confused, unsure of how to handle this relationship.

At certain moments, she had the impulse to confess her feelings to Shen Qiushan, but upon calming down, it seemed absurd.

Apologies to her sister.

Unable to explain to her parents.

Besides, there’s societal perception to face.

After all, he and Shen Qiushan had a special relationship.

"Do you like Qiushan?"

Chen Qingzhu is good at hitting the mark, going straight for the soul-searching question.

Lin Xiamo fell into silence.

The answer existed, but she didn’t want to reveal her heart.

"Momo, you know."

"I’m different from your dad. You need to tell me your true thoughts so I can help you solve problems."

"If you truly like him, then there are ways to deal with that."

"If not, I can help communicate with your dad to avoid misunderstandings about Qiushan."

Chen Qingzhu said sincerely.

"Like!"

After a moment’s contemplation, Lin Xiamo decisively answered with two words.

This answer was within Chen Qingzhu’s expectation. She nodded lightly: "Since you like him, things will be easier. Although your dad doesn’t support it, I support you. Qiushan is a good kid to be with if you are together."

"I think Yanran and Xiaoxiao probably wouldn’t oppose it either, but it shouldn’t be rushed. They need time to accept it too."

"Also, you can’t tell the truth to your dad for now. You know his temper, but I will help you find an opportunity to gradually approach it..."

After listening to her mother Chen Qingzhu’s words, Lin Xiamo felt both warm and touched. She asked in a small voice, "Mom, would doing this be letting my sister down?"

"Would she blame me?"

"Of course not!"

Chen Qingzhu smiled and shook her head: "Your sister wouldn’t blame you; from my understanding of her, she might even thank you."

"She likes Qiushan so much, and she definitely wishes him the best, hoping someone could take good care of him and Xiaoxiao, Yanran!"

"The fact that you’re involved gives you more advantages than other women."

"It’s you who are being wronged, after all, Qiushan is quite a bit older than you, and there are Xiaoxiao and Yanran, two kids."

"Being a second aunt is easy, but being a stepmom is not so easy, so you have to mentally prepare yourself."

While the mother and daughter were having a heart-to-heart, the video of Shen Qiushan’s performance at the bar had begun to circulate on social media.

After all, in the era of self-media, someone already uploaded the video of the first song he sang online.

As the performance went on, more and more videos appeared online. Self-media news bloggers all showed great interest, re-posting and commenting.

Being at the scene, Wang Zhixin certainly didn’t want to lag behind, promptly uploading the video on his Kuaishun account.

The eye-catching title as always: [Shocking, Nebula Award winner Shen Qiushan busking in a bar!]
