Chapter 2630: The Scheming Father and Son (1)
The two boys had been so immersed in their boiling emotions over the press conference that they neglected the sounds coming from outside the door.
Now, they found themselves recipients to their father’s piercing gaze as the man languidly rested his arms over his chest.
“Where are you two going?”
“Er…”
Both lads were unprepared for the sudden question thrown at them by their father.
The younger one did not want to let his father know that they were going to settle scores with Gao Nan, so he turned his head aside with pursed lips.
The man shifted his deep gaze onto the older boy.
His commanding presence was something Little Yichen had a deep impression of; hence, the slightest glance from his father was enough to send the boy mumbling guiltily, “We… are going to get a suntan.”
In the first place, the boy was not good at lying. His face would become flush and his brain would go blank the moment he told a lie; whoever listened to him could tell how lame he sounded.
His father hummed an acknowledgement, then said, “Suntan? The sun seems to have gone down.”
Youyou stomped hard on his older twin’s foot with a look of disdain.
The other boy could only hold back the pain wordlessly as he glanced at his sibling with great resentment. This was when they heard their father stating slyly, “Both of you are going to look for Gao Nan.”
It was a rhetorical question.
“How’d you know!”
“I saw the torn newspaper on the ground.”
One look at the torn newspaper, and the man knew right away that his younger son had taken note of the matter involving the woman of their household. He knew his son well. Any person who bullied his mother, the lad would investigate that person and then return an eye for an eye. The boy would retaliate for any aggravation his mother had suffered a hundredfold or even a thousandfold.
This was the nature of Youyou, who could not bear to see his mommy suffer one bit.
“Mommy has been falsely accused of being a mistress; don’t you know about it?”
The man replied sans any expression, “I know.”
“You do?” The boy was surprised and soon furiously bombarded his father with questions. “Since you know, why haven’t you taken actions! Do you just plan to watch mommy be slandered and feel aggrieved in silence?”
“I’ve been preparing something.”
“What’ve you been preparing?”
Mu Yazhe suddenly tugged the boy’s jaw and gently whispered a few words into the latter’s ear.
The boy was stunned at first, then his shock and anger dissipated, replaced by incomparable surprise, instead.
“Daddy, are you really going to… announce it?”
“Yup.”
The older boy, who failed to hear what his father had said, immediately ran over and curiously asked, “What did daddy say?”
“Hmph! I’m not gonna tell you.”
His younger brother decided to keep him in suspense.
Little Yichen had gotten rather confused by then.
The younger boy pushed his brother aside with a look of disdain and then turned to regard his father again. “Are you going to let that man off just then?”
“Of course not.”
Mu Yazhe had investigated this incident.
He even learned that that guy had threatened his wife of framing her as his mistress.
As the leader of Huanyu, he had eyes and ears in the entertainment industry. With his extensive influence, he found out exactly what happened that night after a few casual inquiries.
It was not that there were no witnesses at the scene. A waiter happened to pass by the restroom that night and overhear the heated argument between the two.
That playboy had been coveting his wife even to this day.
As a man, this was definitely an intolerable provocation.
“Why haven’t you taken actions then?”
“How meaningless it is to just deal with it.”
