Chapter 231

Tingfang, who was happily chatting with her husband, changed color instantly upon hearing these words, "Mucen, Mommy..."

"You don’t need to investigate any further. That child, shall I tell you who he really is?"

"What?"

Tingfang was so startled by these words that the spoon she was using to eat porridge hung suspended in mid-air.

He was going to tell her, but why? Hadn’t he refused to say anything before? Why had he suddenly decided to come forward and tell her?

Tingfang had a bad premonition!

Similarly, due to the matters concerning the Bai Family, even Ou’s old master, who still had issues with this son, was surprised to hear this, "Are you saying, you’re going to tell us who that child really is?"

Ou Mucen nodded expressionlessly, "Yes, his name is Ye Xiaobao, he’s the child of my newly hired assistant."

"Assistant?"

"Yes, she’s the woman I mentioned before with a natural talent for jade appraisal. That child is hers!"

"..."

As this statement was made, not only was Ou’s old master stunned, but even Tingfang widened her eyes, looking incredulously at her own son, "Your assistant’s child? Didn’t you say the child’s parents were your friends?"

Ou Mucen scoffed coldly, "If I hadn’t said ’friends’, would you have given up investigating his identity, Mom?"

Tingfang was at a loss for words!

No, she wouldn’t have, even if they were friends, she was already investigating. However, she hadn’t expected that before she could find out the identity of that woman, he himself would reveal who she was.

So, that means the woman in his apartment the day before wasn’t his cleaner all along but his assistant?

Tingfang realized the truth and immediately, her face turned very ugly, "So you’re saying, the woman in your apartment that day wasn’t really a cleaner?"

Ou Mucen swept her with an expressionless glance, "No one told you she was a cleaner!"

"You—"

"Also, this matter ends here. I don’t want you to cause any trouble for her or her son; otherwise, don’t blame me for turning against you!" Having finished speaking, he didn’t look at her again, stood up, took his coat, and left.

Tingfang, sitting across from him, experienced a flushed and then pale face, barely stopping herself from jumping up.

"Master, you see, what kind of son is this, he even dares to threaten me, to threaten me over an unrelated mother and child?!"

"Since you know they are unrelated, why are you interfering with them?"

Ou’s old master blocked her with an unsparing retort. noveldrama

Tingfang fell silent upon hearing this...

Indeed, what had the mother and son done to her child? Why should she trouble them? Even if Mucen had hit Bai Wei because of that child, it was also because that child had helped him back at the estate.

Once Ou’s old master understood the situation, the anger he had before dissipated completely. He instructed the butler, who was standing by, to summon Ou Mufeng, who was still waiting at the estate for his explanation, before he himself got up and walked towards the Bamboo Garden.

Tingfang watched from the side. Although she had no words to say outwardly, inside her heart was even more uncomfortable, as both her son and husband had spoken up for the unrelated mother and son, warning her, blocking her.

"Xiaoxia..."

"Yes, Madam!"

"Do you know about the assistant my son just mentioned?"

Xiaoxia hurriedly nodded, "I haven’t met her, but I know of her. I’ve heard she has some skill in gem appraisal."
