Chapter 944
Ye Junqing cut off Fu Zhuo’s communication and went to take a shower. Just after showering and pushing open the door, stepping out of the bathroom, he saw his own mother, with a stern face, sitting on a chair in his bedroom, looking very intimidating.
“Mom, why aren’t you sleeping in the middle of the night? Why are you sitting here?”noveldrama
Bai Peiluan held up the phone and questioned her son: “You have the nerve to ask? I’m asking you, what’s the deal with this child?”
“What child…” Ye Junqing’s nonchalant voice stopped abruptly after he glanced over the cell phone screen.
Bai Peiluan was frantic: “You still have the nerve to ask what child? I’m asking if this child was fathered by you? Did you actually father an illegitimate child behind your father’s and my back? Junqing, Junqing, can’t you use your brain a bit? Don’t you understand how much the scandal of an illegitimate child could damage our family’s reputation?”
Even though Bai Peiluan herself was an illegitimate daughter, she was still extremely averse to someone secretly having an illegitimate child with her son!
Ye Junqing: “…”
Having seen her son’s shocked and astonished expression as the details were revealed, Bai Peiluan was enraged: Why are you putting on this act?
Bai Peiluan pressed her hand emphatically on her son’s arm: “Also, tomorrow you are supposed to marry Ye Xingguang from Undersea World. If Xingguang finds out you have an illegitimate child, will she still marry you? You wretched boy, you’re really driving me mad.”
Ye Junqing felt a twitch at the corner of his eye; trouble really does come from the heavens!
“Mom, don’t just listen to rumors. Does that child look like my offspring?”,
“What part doesn’t resemble? Tell me, what part doesn’t look alike? You looked just like this when you were young, could your mother remember it wrong? Give it to me straight, what exactly is going on? Who is this child’s mother?”
Ye Junqing’s expression turned dark: “This really isn’t my progeny!”
But Bai Peiluan had already brought the family photo album, flipping it open to her son’s childhood photos: “Deny it further, keep denying it, if you continue to deny it I’ll call your dad over to break your legs!”
Ye Junqing squinted at his childhood pictures in the album, then at the child on the phone screen, feeling utterly speechless!
“Mom, there are many people in the world who look alike. Just because this child resembles me when I was young, you can’t just accuse me of being irresponsible. Before Ye Xingguang came into my life, I never touched a woman!”
“Really?” Bai Peiluan was skeptical yet asked bluntly right in front of Ye Junqing: “Do you swear that you’ve been a virgin up until you met my darling daughter-in-law?”
Ye Xingguang felt completely exasperated, not wanting to discuss this issue with his mother, but since she insisted on an answer, he could only grimly and through clenched teeth respond: “Yes! Are you satisfied now?”
Bai Peiluan was incredulous, staring at her son, now twenty-seven years old: “Son, did you have some kind of issue before?”
Ye Junqing: “!!!”
If only the person standing in front of him wasn’t his own mother!!!
Bai Peiluan sighed in relief but still harbored a sliver of doubt: “Swear to me again, this child is absolutely not your offspring?”
“I swear, it’s not!”
Originally, he planned to swear, ‘Absolutely not, otherwise may I face obstacles in the future!’
But somehow, the word got stuck as he spoke, Ye Junqing hesitated, knowing that his curse might actually come true, and he glanced again at the photo on the phone screen, wondering why even he felt a tinge of softness in his heart.
