Ji Zhili ignored the NPC's not-so-subtle hints—or rather, he simply didn't care.
Years of experience had taught him that if he just put on a tough attitude, his parents would always give in. After all, he was the only child in the old Ji family.

The NPC clearly had a strong-willed, histrionic parent persona, which meant he didn't need to hold back at all.

With a little push from his management team behind the scenes, this might even net him a wave of new followers.
