Chapter 98: Making Him Angry

When Chu Wuyou turned to look at Tang Zhixi, an extremely peculiar thought suddenly coincided with another impression she had in mind. However, the idea disappeared within seconds when the little girl leaped into her arms before she could make sense of it.

 “Darling, mommy can’t stay long because I have something else to do…” Chu Wuyou was awfully reluctant to leave but she had no other alternative. She knew that Ye Lanchen would start searching for her once he discovered the woman in the taxi was an imposter.

 “I know you’re busy, mommy. You should go.” Out of her expectation, Tang Zhixi was understanding of her circumstances.

 Surprised, Chu Wuyou froze for a split second but the little girl pushed her away.

 Chu Wuyou knew that she should not stay for much longer hence she seized this opportunity to take her leave.

 “Elder Brother, didn’t you say that mommy will abduct a man to be our daddy? But why do I feel like mommy’s the one that’s been taken away from us?” Tang Zhixi did not cry at her mother’s departure although her face was written over with grievances. She shifted this displeasure to her elder brother instead.

 “You need to understand the concept of investment. Only after these first-stage preparations that we can yield returns later,” Tang Zhimo explained with clear logic.

 Qin Yutong winced when she heard the little boy. How could a boy his age always make so much sense?

 “Are you sure there will be returns?” Tang Zhixi was evidently doubtful of his explanation.

 “Of course, nothing’s impossible if mommy sets her mind to it.” Tang Zhimo worshipped his mother even though he complained about her a lot.

 “I don’t think that’s what mommy wants though.” Tang Zhixi managed to grasp the essence of the problem.

 Qin Yutong was taken aback. She always thought Tang Zhimo was the brilliant one, whereas Tang Zhixi was a silly and adorable foodie.

 However, when she studied Tang Zhixi at this moment, she felt that the little girl might just be playing dumb all along.

 The little girl was literally the miniature version of Chu Wuyou.

 As expected, Chu Wuyou’s children had inherited her excellent genes.

 Tang Zhimo was also staring at his younger sister in disbelief. He suddenly wondered if he had underestimated her all this while.

 “Don’t worry because you’ve got me. That man’s a good catch and I’ll make sure mommy succeeds in turning him into our daddy.” Nonetheless, he had to put on the demeanor of an elder brother.

 “Darling, what’s your plan?” Qin Yutong’s eyes twinkled with brilliance at the sound of that. The truth was, she had the same thought as Tang Zhimo. “Come on, let’s devise a plan together.”

 Chu Wuyou who had just left the building had absolutely no idea that her son and her best friend were planning to sell her out.

 Soon, she received a phone call from Ye Lanchen.

 The latter had called because he had initiated an investigation on Tang Zhimo’s phone number.

 He discovered something new. As the saying went, no secret could be kept forever because the truth is always revealed, one way or the other.

 “Where are you?” Ye Lanchen’s voice sounded deeper than usual. She could sense the coldness in his voice even through the phone.

 “Just downstairs at the pedestrian walkway.” Chu Wuyou spoke in her normal voice. “Husband, are you done with work?”

 There was an intense silence on the other side of the phone. “Share your current location with me. I’ll head over right now.”

 Chu Wuyou heaved a sigh of relief. She knew without a doubt that the true meaning behind his request was to confirm that her current whereabouts did not contradict her words.

 Fortunately, she had left the building. Despite that, she felt a shiver down her spine upon hearing his deep voice that was laced with acute intimidation.

 Chu Wuyou shared her location without a second’s hesitation.

 Ye Lanchen appeared at the pedestrian walkway about half an hour later. He locked his eyes on Chu Wuyou the moment he located her.

 She felt herself shivering under his piercing gaze. Simultaneously, she felt all the hairs on her arms standing to attention.

 Anyone with functioning eyesight could detect the fire raging in him. There was a high price to pay for crossing him…

 Could it be? Did he figure something out? The expression on his face seemed to have confirmed so.
