“Mm!”
Mu Wanrou helped him to his seat. Grandpa Mu straightened his posture and raised his chin to survey the entire dining room. He suddenly asked, “That b*stard didn’t e last night?”
At his mention of this, sadness visibly crept across her face. She replied helplessly, “Mm. He didn’t e home, and I have no idea where he’s gone off to. He’s probably busy at the office!”
“Does the pany operate late into the night?”
Grandpa Mu sneered and expressed his disappointment, “That kid is being quite unruly lately; he doesn’t even know to return home! Rou’er, you should discipline him properly!”
“Grandpa, how am I capable of disciplining him?!”
She pouted and acted coy. Sitting beside Mu Sheng, she continued sadly, “Grandpa, he doesn’t listen to me at all. From a young age, he has never listened to anyone except you. I asked him to return home early last night, but in the end, he didn’t e back for the entire night. To tell you the truth, this isn’t the first time he’s done this recently. He was never like this in the past, though!”
Mu Sheng nodded in agreement. With that child’s indifference, it would be unlikely for him to fool around outside.
Unlike those wealthy Casanovas who accessorized themselves with countless women, that child was never the type to play around with the opposite sex; this was something he had always approved of.
His impression of Mu Yazhe was that of a responsible father. Despite his busy schedule at work, he had never failed to return home and acpany Yichen for dinner.
Thus, he was being concerned about his recent strange behavior.
Noticing that his expression was turning slightly sour, she continued to whisper to his ear, “Grandpa, you know that he’s a man. Could it be that he has an affair with another woman outside—”
“How dare he?!” Once Grandpa Mu heard that, he flew into rage and slammed his fist at the table, causing the water from the teacup to splatter about.
Everything happened so abruptly that the maid standing behind them was startled into hitching her breath. She dared not breathe too loudly!
Mu Wanrou was elated at this.
Mu Sheng had always been on her side. This time, he must back her up!
“Girl, don’t worry. If he is to be unfaithful and cause trouble outside, grandpa will support you and break his legs!”
He looked at her dotingly. It was his habit to land a heavy blow on the floor with his walking stick whenever he got worked up.
She pursed her lips and glanced at him piteously. “Grandpa…”
“Don’t be sad. I won’t let him betray you!” Mu Sheng said as he tapped on the back of her hand. His love for her was expressed through this, which transcended mere words. “Rou’er, you don’t have to worry about this!”
Getting Grandpa Mu’s promise to back her up, she was over the moon. Thus, she pretended to have a heartache and said, “Grandpa, it’s alright… If you break his legs, my heart will surely ache. Yours, too!”
“Hmph! You pamper him too much! If you don’t supervise a man and show him discipline, he will betray you sooner or later!” Mu Sheng was speaking from experience.
In his days full of vigor, Old Mu was a force to be reckoned with. Altogether, he was married to three different wives and had quite a few affairs outside as well.
She asked softly, “Grandpa, do you remember the surrogate six years ago?”
“I do!” His eyes darkened. That girl was especially handpicked by him. She had a youthful appearance, outstanding facial features, and an otherworldly air around her.
Her facial features were also very similar to that woman, which was just hard to e by.
They were too identical. It was as if… they were cast in the same mold.
Hence, he took a fancy to that girl at first look.
Mu Wanrou continued, “I think that that girl’s background is not so simple!”
His brows twitched, and he promptly questioned, “How so?”
