Ou Mucen’s originally calm heart suddenly turned cold,"What do you think?"
When Bai Tingfang heard this, she immediately chuckled sheepishly,"Don’t be mad, son. I just wanted to ask you about something, you know, about yesterday. I really had no idea Kexin would do such a thing. Had I known, I certainly wouldn’t have told her where you were."
Ou Mucen, furious to the extreme, became oddly calm,"Are you saying you didn’t teach her to do that?"
"What are you talking about? Son, why must you doubt your mother ? Although your mom wants you to get married and have children soon, she would never scheme against my own son. By saying such things, son, you’re truly breaking your mother’s heart."
Rambling on and on, she said a whole bunch!
Ou Mucen, with a headache from listening, pulled the phone away, conceding,"Alright, alright, no need to say more. I don’t blame you, okay?"
That’s the kind of mother he had. Every time she made a mistake, she’d pester him relentlessly. What could he do? He surely couldn’t hold a grudge against his own mother, could he?
Ou Mucen felt extraordinarily miserable. Just as he was about to hang up, Bai Tingfang, having successfully obtained her son’s forgiveness, suddenly blurted out,"I heard from Kexin that you came back from Murong Villa yesterday with your secretary. You didn’t come home last night... did something happen between you and her...?"
She didn’t finish her sentence, but her implication was very clear.
What else could have happened between a drugged man and a young secretary?
Bai Tingfang’s tone was far from pleasant!
Ou Mucen, hearing this, immediately darkened,"Mother, what nonsensical thoughts are you harboring? She’s just my secretary. Stop conjuring up all this mess at home."
Bai Tingfang snorted coldly,"I hope it’s as you say. You, Ou Mucen, cannot just bring any woman home. Your secretary, she has a child and no husband in sight. Who knows what her intentions are, working for you? Better fire her soon, or don’t blame me for not being nice to her!"
Sitting there, holding the phone, he calmed down for a long, long time before speaking slowly and deliberately into the receiver,"Bai Tingfang, I’ve been polite to you because you’re my mother. But if you cross my bottom line, don’t blame me for not being polite either!"
After speaking, he coldly ended the call.
Indeed, he respected her and treated her courteously because she was his mother, but if she overstepped the bounds of a mother’s role and did things she shouldn’t, he truly couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t turn against her.
She even knew about that and was aware she was a single mother with a child. It seemed he had been too lenient with her recently, allowing her to forget her place.
The man putting down the phone had eyes that grew utterly cold...
Ye Ning spent all night tidying up the things she had moved in.
There was no denying that the house was indeed nice. A one-bedroom apartment, not very large, but with a great layout. Most importantly, it was located in the city center and was close to Xiaobao’s school.
After organizing everything, Ye Ning prepared to eat.
Qiao Feiyu, coming out of the kitchen, saw that she wasn’t unhappy upon seeing the house and tried to sweeten the deal,"Ningning, you house, don’t you?"
