Chapter 116
"You little bastard, how dare you deceive me?"
"Who are you calling a little bastard? Say it again, I dare you!"
In a second, the man who had not been angered even after being framed suddenly turned a shade of iron blue, as if he would cripple the other if he dared to say another word about the child.
Ou Yuze didn’t dare speak again. Sitting on the ground, his face a mix of green and white, as if he had swallowed a dead fly, he looked exceptionally splendid.
The onlookers, sensing what had transpired, stared at the young master with disdain on their faces, "It looks like the rumors about the Ou Family are true. Tonight’s drama sure is exciting!"
"Indeed, who would have thought this young master would be such a fool. Lucky for the Ou Corporation that he’s not the one in charge, otherwise it would have been finished."
"Don’t worry, the old man would never hand over the family assets to such an idiot. Haven’t you seen the Third Young Master here?"
"Right, the Third Young Master is the real heir!"
"..."
When the crowd dispersed, they were all talking about the incident as if they had just watched a supremely thrilling play.
In fact, the play was indeed thrilling enough that the media headlines in A City tomorrow morning would be dedicated to tonight’s news, with the Ou Family becoming the laughing stock once again.
The elder Ou thought of this, growing even more furious, and after hitting Ou Yuze several times with his cane, he was about to kick him out on the spot!
Mei Liping panicked upon hearing this, quickly pulling Ou Muyuan to kneel before the old man, pleading with him until he finally abandoned the thought.
Ou Mucen didn’t listen to the rest. He wasn’t interested in these matters to begin with, especially with his mother there. As long as she was around, the second branch of the Ou Family would never be well off.
So, while everyone in the hall was busy watching the excitement, he picked up Baozi and left. noveldrama
"Uncle, where are we going? Are you taking me back?"
Going back?
How could he go back with his mother there?
The man, hurrying outside with a serious expression, finally understood why that woman had appeared at the Ou estate tonight. It turned out she had come for her son.
Recalling the message he had just received, his expression grew even uglier, "I’m asking you, if your mother was... crippled, or gone, what would you do?"
My mother, crippled... or gone?
What did that mean?
Ye Xiaobao was startled by the sudden, horrifying question, "Uncle, what do you mean? My mom is fine, how could she be crippled? Gone?"
Ou Mucen: "..."
After a moment, he turned his head away awkwardly and squeezed out, "I mean... hypothetically!!"
Hypothetically?
Ye Xiaobao looked up suspiciously at him.
Why such a ’hypothetically’ when everything is fine? Even if his mind was dark, he shouldn’t curse someone’s mother to death, right?
Ye Xiaobao’s chubby little face suddenly became unhappy, "Uncle, are you bullying my mom again? Did you cripple her this time?"
Ou Mucen immediately looked guilty and turned his attention forward, "No!"
"No? Then why are you asking me this?"
"I was just asking..."
"Uncle, that’s not a normal question to ask. I’m telling you, uncle, I’m already a child from a single-parent family. If my mom is crippled or gone, then I’ll be an orphan, and you’ll have to take care of me."
Ou Mucen: "..."
