Father Wang knew of Loopy Toad's existence, and also knew that Wang Ling would bring it home to raise. Nowadays, WeChat was very convenient to communicate with everything. At the beginning of the semester, the school had already set up a parents' group, and Teacher Pan would send a message to the parents' group, no matter how big or small. After Loopy Toad decided to follow Wang Ling home, Teacher Pan immediately sent a message to Father Wang. Furthermore, he repeatedly asked Father Wang if he wanted Wang Ling to bring back some dog food. This made Father Wang a little embarrassed.
After all, nowadays, whether it was cat food or dog food, both were probably much more expensive than human food. It was no longer a secret in No. 60 High that Wang Ling's family wasn't well off. When Teacher Pan asked Father Wang, she was still planning a home visit in her heart.
Although she usually looked a little fierce, a little cold, and didn't look like someone who was easy to get along with, she still felt warm in her heart. Teacher Pan felt that education was one thing, but so was a student's spiritual development.
Teacher Pan felt that children from poor families would naturally have a sense of inferiority in their hearts. Combined with Wang Ling's usually taciturn image, Teacher Pan had always felt that he was actually a very self-abased person … so at school, Teacher Pan was very careful not to mention anything about his family in front of Wang Ling, so as not to hurt his self-esteem. In addition, she often urged her students not to compare with others in anything other than academic performance.
All in all …
Wang Ling felt that Teacher Pan's misunderstanding of him was already so big that even the Huangpu River wouldn't be able to wash it clean.
Inferiority complex … didn't exist at all.
Wang Ling would never forget the first time he had gone to the bathroom with the other boys, and the looks of astonishment on their faces as they stared at his Tower of Babel.
In order to avoid making the other boys feel inferior …
All these years, Wang Ling had tried his best to only go to the bathroom when there was no one else around.
…
…
Wang Ling changed into slippers and put Loopy Toad on the ground. In the end, it was as if this guy had been petrified; without Wang Ling's next order, this demon king didn't even dare move. Wang Ling kicked Loopy Toad's butt lightly. Only then did Loopy Toad come back to its senses, shake its fur, and obediently lie down at Father Wang's feet.
Father Wang had heard Wang Ling talk about Loopy Toad's background, and knew that it had been a demon king in its previous life. Father Wang had thought that this was a rather unruly existence; he never expected it to be so obedient in front of Wang Ling.
Hmm … From the looks of it, he has trained him well.
Father Wang nodded in satisfaction and stroked Loopy Toad's fur. At No. 60 High School, students would bring Cleansing Talismans to clean Loopy Toad's body every few days, so its fur was exceptionally soft to the touch. Father Wang felt that it felt very good to the touch. The only thing that was lacking was that the color of the fur was a little strange.
"Why is its fur green?" Father Wang asked curiously as he stroked Loopy Toad's fur and pinched its little fat face.
Wang Ling didn't respond.
Because of his occupational disease as a web novelist, Father Wang very quickly started to fill in the blanks.
Then, Father Wang couldn't help sighing in his heart. Just from the color of its fur, it wasn't hard to tell that this was definitely a dog with a story. You must have experienced many emotional setbacks, right? It was hard to be a man these days, but it was also hard to be a dog!
Wang Ling: "…"
At this time, Mother Wang and the old man were still busy in the kitchen. Originally, the old man didn't plan to let anyone help him. But since Lie Mengmeng's arrival, the old man's psychological defenses had already crumbled a little. In the end, he decided to let Mother Wang help him out. Actually, it was mainly for her to supervise whether or not the salt had been put in …
Generally speaking, this time before dinner was when the Wang family's father and son would have a heart-to-heart talk. But this conversation was a little strange. Wang Ling didn't speak the whole time, and directly communicated with Father Wang telepathically.
Thus, the whole scene looked a little strange.
What Father Wang wanted to talk about this time was mainly about the two men in suits from before.
Landscape Manor was a giant corporation comparable to Huaguo Water Curtain Group. Among them, it was famous for its wine business. Almost every TV station had Landscape Manor's wine commercials, which had been on the air for hundreds of years, and could be considered a household name. Wang Ling remembered that when he had still been in the stroller, he had heard these advertising slogans until his ears had gone numb. But the truth was that wine only accounted for twenty percent of Landscape Manor's total annual profits. As for the remaining 80% of the huge profit, it was brought by the second sideline of the villa, the antique business.
Of course, most ordinary people didn't know about Landscape Manor's antiques business. The reason why Father Wang knew about this had to do with his profession. Online writers were a mysterious group; they usually stayed at home and typed their stories, and probably didn't have many offline gatherings. But Father Wang had never missed an online event, and it was through these online events that he got to know a lot of different people.
After all, most online writers didn't work full time. Through these people, Father Wang was able to come into contact with all walks of life and learn about all kinds of interesting news and … gossip.
Father Wang had heard about Landscape Manor's secondary business from an author who ran an antique shop. Perhaps there was an element of exaggeration in it. But Father Wang felt that seventy percent of it was credible.
Thus, based on the Wang family's motto of keeping a low profile, Father Wang felt that this incident was quite serious. It really wasn't a good thing to be targeted by such a giant corporation. At the very least, it had already affected the Wang family's pace of life.
"I think … you should know how serious this matter is without me telling you."
Wang Ling nodded, cupped his chin in thought, and seemed to say something to Father Wang. Very quickly, a doubtful expression appeared on Father Wang's face. "Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the mask? Don't tell me you've never made a mistake yourself? Or have you ever thought that ordinary methods can't detect anything special about this mask? "
Father Wang's question startled Wang Ling. Indeed, Wang Ling had only tried the stone ghost mask on before, and hadn't done any further tests. It was indeed a little arbitrary to say that there was nothing wrong with it.
Lying on the ground, Loopy Toad flicked its tail and stared at this miraculous father and son pair.
This was probably the quietest father-son exchange in history, and Father Wang's voice was the only one in the room.
"Looking at the current situation, there's most likely something fishy about this mask. Otherwise, this bunch of people wouldn't be stupid enough to pay two million yuan for a mask that costs five yuan online, right? "
