And nothing was more explosive than the scandal of an illegitimate child.
Ye Ning finally understood and thought back to the figure she had seen entering the villa. A bloodthirsty coldness surged from her eyes, "I will personally send him to hell!"
Ou Mucen was taken aback by the completely different voice and lowered his head, only to find that in this brief time, her demeanor had completely changed.
Those were a pair of entirely unfamiliar eyes, slightly narrowed, the focal point uncertain, but the light that shot from them was like two cold, gleaming blades, piercing straight into the heart, making one extremely uncomfortable.
Was she so murderous just because her child had been used?
Ou Mucen frowned and was about to say something, when Little Baozi, who had been following all along, suddenly spoke up, "Uncle, there’s someone ahead."
In an instant, Ye Ning’s mind became clear again. She did indeed see a figure approaching and quickly struggled out of the man’s embrace, "Ou Mucen, that’s enough. From here, we can go back on our own."
Ou Mucen also saw the person, so he didn’t insist any longer, taking the keys he had been given and handing them over, "Take my car to go back, you won’t be able to hail a cab to Qianshui Bay, nor catch a bus."
However, Ye Xiaobao eagerly took the keys from Uncle’s hand, "Uncle, thank you, I knew you’re actually a good person."
The man standing in the dim light looked down at Little Baozi at his feet, who was not as tall as his leg, twitched the corner of his mouth, and finally reached out to pet the little head, "Do you know what to do when you get back?"
Ye Xiaobao’s round little head nodded at once, "Take Mom to see the doctor, and then go home, but Uncle, you also need to be careful, you don’t have any good people around you, you need to take care of yourself too."
The last sentence hit home!
Ou Mucen’s hand petting his little head stiffened, looking down to see the little tyke who barely reached half his leg height looking up at him with big, bright, and shining eyes full of unconcealed concern and worry.
Suddenly, he didn’t know why, but something flickered in his heart, and a feeling he had never experienced before welled up from within...
That feeling, it was comforting!
More comforting than anything he had ever done!
Eventually, Ou Mucen watched the mother and son leave before he returned to his own Orchid Garden.
Once at Orchid Garden, he went upstairs and took a close look at his window, only to realize that the woman had indeed jumped from his window. However, she had found a crevice outside his window that even he wasn’t aware of, a crevice that allowed her to evade detection and make her escape successfully.
"Young Master, only the servants in our estate know about this cleaning channel; it’s usually secured with a movable door. How did that thief come to know of it?"
Ou Mucen did not answer, but held the lock that had been opened in his hand and fell into deep thought...
It was very late by the time Ye Ning got home. After a night of ordeal, she was truly exhausted. Coupled with the injury to her foot, once back, she essentially collapsed onto the sofa.
