"Move him with emotion, explain with reason, then use etiquette before resorting to force. Hao Tian doesn't really respond to persuasion or pressure; he just assesses the situation. He's different from you—he's a pure interest-driven animal with almost no feelings."
Ji Changsheng rarely defended Hao Tian: "Mom, I think Hao Tian genuinely cares about the Queen Mother."
"What genuine feeling?"
Empress Nuwa directly used a swear word.
"I thought he would set conditions to let you spare the Queen Mother. I was ready to agree on your behalf, but that guy directly said no need."
Ji Changsheng: "..."
"Hao Tian claims to be a romantic, but he thoroughly sold out the Queen Mother. On the surface, you hit the Queen Mother's mom and trick her dad; would you be willing to sell out the Queen Mother like that?" the Queen Mother asked.
Ji Changsheng immediately shook his head: "Mom, I'm not that kind of person."
