Chapter 231 - 232: Thunderbolt on a Sunny Day
Ye Xingbei:”…”
Alright.
Everything seems to make sense.
She was stunned into silence!
Seeing Ye Xingbei’s mute expression, Gu Junzhu laughed heartily, picked her up and cuddled her, patting her little bottom, “Sweetie, what do you want to eat for lunch?”
The little one thought for a while, blinking her eyes, “Something yummy!”
It’s a no brainer!
Gu Junzhu chuckled, “Alright, Daddy will take Xiao Shu to eat something yummy!”
The little one turned to Lingyue and said, “And Brother Xiaoyue too!”
“Of course!” Gu Junzhu reached out a hand and tousled Lingyue’s hair, “Don’t worry, no matter where we go, I won’t leave your Brother Xiaoyue behind. Come on, let’s go!”
Gu Junzhu took Ye Xingbei and the two kids to the most famous restaurant in Beijing.
The restaurant had many signature dishes, all of them tasted great.
And every dish came in small portions so you could order several different ones, that way the children could taste various kinds of food.
He had his own private room in the restaurant, so there was no need to make a reservation in advance.
Upon entering the restaurant, he led Ye Xingbei directly to his private room.
As they took the elevator straight to the top floor, walked out and turned into the corridor, Ye Xingbei suddenly saw a familiar face… it was Xu Yanlai!
Ye Xingbei’s eyes widened in surprise.
Why is Xu Yanlai here?
Seeing her, Xu Yanlai was taken aback. Her gaze fell on Lingyue’s face beside her and turned ghostly pale. She abruptly opened the door next to her and stumbled inside.
Inside the room, Xiang Jiechao looked at her in displeasure, “Mrs. Jiang, what’s wrong with you? You’re looking so frightened, have you seen a ghost?”
Xu Yanlai, with trembling knees, sat across from Xiang Jiechao and said, “Younger brother, I saw that child, he…he was with Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei! How is he with Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei? How is it possible?”
“Who’s your younger brother?” snapped Xiang Jiechao, his face gloomy, “Mrs. Jiang, I suggest you stop making such false claims. If not, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”
In the past, he didn’t even know this lunatic woman who claimed to be Mrs. Jiang.
This crazy woman had dared to phone him, claiming that he was not the biological son of Senior Master Xiang, but the son of the Xu Family!
Years ago, when the wives of the Xiang and Xu families were in labor at the same clinic, he was born prematurely and was expected to die.
The Xu family was far less affluent than the Xiang family, and in a desperate move, his mother had switched the two babies, hoping that the Xiang family could save her child’s life.
Over the years, watching her son living a good life with the Xiang family, the mother of Xu Yanlai had kept this as a secret from everyone.
Until recently, when an accident occurred to Xiang Bingzhi.
When Xu Yanlai’s mother found out that Xiang Bingzhi was her biological granddaughter, she decided to tell Xu Yanlai the truth in her distress.
After learning the truth, Xu Yanlai called him and asked to meet.
As the Young Master of the Xiang family, how could he stoop so low to meet a small-town lunatic woman like Xu Yanlai?
When he refused to meet, Xu Yanlai threatened that she would spill everything to Senior Master Xiang.
Xiang Jiechao didn’t want to believe a word of it.
He was unwilling to believe that he was not the son of Senior Master Xiang, but the son of some obscure family from a small town.
But he was also afraid that it might be true.
He was scared that if it were true and Xu Yanlai blown the whistle, he wouldn’t be able to keep his origin a secret anymore.
Therefore, despite his disbelief, he showed up.
In the Xiang family, his father’s favorite has always been him.. How could he not be his father’s own son?
