Xiao Su’s feet were buried to the ground upon hearing that and he looked at Ye Moxuan in confusion. “Young Master Ye?”
Ye Moxuan raised his head, shooting Xiao Su with an expression that could have frozen lakes. “Did I ask you to look into it?”
Xiao Su shook his head.
“Then why did you take the initiative to do so?”
Oh, right. Young Master Ye didn’t give me any orders. Why am I so nervous? Xiao Su cleared his throat, but still felt shocked at the truth. “Young Master Ye, what I said just now is true, right? Young Lady really gave birth to your son and he looked exactly like you? Is that the reason why you have been worried about what presents to give him for the past couple of days?”
Ye Moxuan ignored him, but Xiao Su thought that this was a tacit approval. He felt a little wistful, but he felt that something was wrong somewhere, so he mumbled to himself, “Something is wrong. Why does her son look exactly the same as Young Master Ye? For the past five years, Young Master Ye hasn’t even seen the Young Lady. When she married into the Ye Family, she had already been pregnant for a month. Before that, Young Master hadn’t even married her. How is this even possible?”
After his analysis, Xiao Su felt that he was not very smart. What the hell is going on? Young Lady had Young Master Ye’s son? When did she give birth? His thoughts about it only made Xiao Su more confused.
When Ye Moxuan heard that, he had a mocking smile on his face as well. “That’s right. Even I didn’t guess that. I can’t believe I have been tricked by her for such a long time.”
Xiao Su scratched his head. “Young Master Ye, I think my brain is not functioning anymore. What is going on?”
“Back then, when I asked you to find out about that woman, you didn’t manage to find out who she is, right?”
He noticed that Ye Moxuan had suddenly changed the topic and was even more confused, but he dutifully replied, “That’s right. I didn’t find her. This is also quite weird. She’s just a woman and I have sent so many people to look for her. No matter what, we should have already found her by now, but that woman seems to have disappeared from the world. No matter how hard I try, I still can’t find her…” When he had reached this point, Xiao Su suddenly stopped talking and looked at Ye Moxuan. “Young Master Ye, don’t tell me that Young Lady is the one we have been looking for?”
Since they had already reached this point, Xiao Su felt that he did not need to ask further to confirm this. He widened his eyes, still feeling incredulous.
Back then, Ye Moxuan had asked him to find that woman and he spent a lot of effort to do that. However, in the end, they had no idea that the woman was right in front of them. They were looking for her high and low without even knowing that she was already in their house.
“No wonder…” Xiao Su scratched his head and mumbled to himself again, “I was thinking that it had been so difficult looking for her back then. The reason why we can’t find her is because … she has always been right in front of us?”
However, they had completely neglected this possibility. To be precise, they had never thought of it in this manner.
Xiao Su suddenly remembered that. “Remember that time when you wanted the Young Lady to abort the baby inside her? Didn’t you almost…” As soon as he had said it aloud, Xiao Su felt that the atmosphere had changed drastically and immediately shut his mouth.
In retrospect, they still thought that it was quite a close call. If Ye Moxuan had not taken pity on Young Lady and assured that it was fine even if she did not have an abortion, he probably would have already killed his own child. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he thought about that likelihood.
“Young Master Ye, Young Lady has suffered a lot during those years.”
“Suffered a lot?” Xiao Su’s words had made Ye Moxuan freeze in stupor.
“Yeah.” Xiao Su nodded vehemently. “If the baby inside Young Lady’s belly was your child at that time, it is not an illegitimate child anymore. However, when she married into the Ye Family at that time, she suffered a lot because of this. You probably still remember your attitude toward her, Young Master Ye, don’t you?”
Ye Moxuan was stunned. After a while and probably because of this, he said, “Get lost.”
Xiao Su remained quiet upon hearing that. After he saw that something was wrong with his expression, Xiao Su merely walked out of the conference room silently.
After everyone had left, Ye Moxuan leaned against the chair and closed his eyes in the big, empty conference room, whereupon the memories from five years ago started flooding in.
At that time, when Han Muzi married into the Ye Family, even the marriage certificate was done by his grandfather and the wedding was just simply held. At that time, he also knew what his grandfather thought.
When he asked Ye Moxuan, who was wheelchair bound, to marry a daughter from a family who was going bankrupt, this was equivalent to announcing to the entire North City that Ye Moxuan was just average and that he would not be treated equally by the Ye Family.
Of course Ye Moxuan knew that even though Old Master Ye had brought him back to the Ye Family, he had caused Ye Moxuan’s mother to die and took precautions against him for the fear that he would take revenge upon discovering the truth. He even found a wife for him to try and control him.
It was a pity that Old Master Ye thought highly of Ye Moxuan’s capabilities and wanted him to work on the Ye Group without having him wielding too much power as well. Ye Moxuan also knew about such matters back then.
Hence, when Han Muzi married into the Ye Family, Ye Moxuan felt that she had already paired up with Old Master Ye and his group. On top of that, he even realized that she was pregnant. To Ye Moxuan, this was a disgrace and ridiculous. Because of that, he thought that Han Muzi was vain and would give her a hard time so that she would know where she stood. However, no one knew that…
Ye Moxuan stretched out his hand to massage his temples. After he thought about their history, his temples throbbed. So, when he felt that he was being deceived, did Han Muzi not suffer a lot as well?
…
When Han Muzi saw Leng Yueyue’s design, she nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad. You are improving a lot. Keep it up.”
After she received Han Muzi’s recognition, Leng Yueyue felt happy and left with her design.
When Yan entered and observed that Han Muzi was still busy without being affected by the recent events, she was worried again. She was also shocked that Han Muzi was able to analyze the questions that she posed.
“Muzi, are you sure you’re fine?” Yan could not help but ask again.
Han Muzi raised her head and looked at her. “Why wouldn’t I be? We’re working now. What are you thinking?”
When Yan heard Han Muzi’s slight rebuke, she had nothing to say because if she continued, it seemed as if she did not take her job seriously. As such, she kept her mouth shut about that topic.
“I shall continue my work then. Can I fetch Little Bean from school in the evening?”
Han Muzi was stunned for a bit when she heard this, completely forgetting that Yan had already regarded Little Bean as her love guru. But these few days…
After she gave it some consideration, she said, “It’s probably inconvenient. Little Bean… is with Ye Moxuan now. He will pick him up later.”
“Or maybe he won’t?” Yan still harbored some hope. “I don’t care. I will just go and wait for him after school. If Young Master Ye isn’t there, I will take Little Bean home.”
