CHAPTER 568
"Relax. I am here listening. State your price," Ye Sheng voiced out. His tone clearly showed how impatient he was getting.
"It is simple. I believe as your son, I should also get some shares in your business."
"You…"
"I am not done," he interrupted rudely. "And if you feel I am not entitled to any of your riches, you lie. I wonder how the public would react knowing that the famous Ye Sheng had an illegitimate son he never cared for."
"For crying out loud, I never knew you because your mother never thought it good to tell me about you. How the fuck is that my problem, huh?"
"You should take responsibility and not transfer the blame to my mother. What would one expect of you when all you wanted was w]here to dump your load in."
"Oh really!" He was taken aback by Hao Huizhing's accusations.
"Besides, where is she now? She should be here anyway. She was the one who wanted it. She loved me but I was not in love with her. I loved Li An."
"Yet you could betray her because you wanted to use my mother one last time."
"One last time," he squinted, shaking his head and raising his hand a bit in utter frustration. "Young man do you even know anything about this story. About us. About my personal assistant?"
"I do, trust me. I know everything and your useless self."
"It is obvious she failed to mention that my eyes were only for Li An and never was I one to cheat but she pleaded with me and I gave in."
"Stop. Do not just talk anymore. I do not want to hear any of it ever again."
"Hao Huizhong, please."
"No. You should have thought about this. What were you thinking about having sex with her without any protection? She loved you for crying out loud. It would have been better not to have indulged her because you left her broken till the day she died."
"She's dead?"
"Yes, thanks to you. All through she was left lonely, wishing she was the one instead of Li An. Wishing that she got your love too but she knew it was just wishful thinking, to have that and she chose not to bother you."
"She was wise."
'How dare you!" Hao Huzhong stood up and glared at Ye Sheng. "DShe was wise? Really? Is that all you have to say?"
"What would you have me say?"
"You should be remorseful."
"And says who I am not. I am pained I caused her so much suffering. It was with her I ever started infidelity and even at that…"
"Wait. Wait. Just hold on. How dare you blame her for your inability to remain faithful? How dare you even say this."
"You are getting this all wrong Huizhong. Please sit."
'Sit? In this situation? It is one thing to insult me but it is so annoying to insult my late mother."
"I am not insulting her." He too stood up but unlike Hao Huizhing who was mega mad at him, he had a calm and remorseful look on. "I meant after my night with her, I swore never to hurt Li An again."
"And look how that turned out for you. You were a man who could never keep to himself and all you needed was the opportunity. Do you know how hard it was for Ye Cheng to grow up without you?"
"Cheng was not lonely. He had his mother."
'One that you made leave just to keep your ego and fame?"
"No. That was nothing like that."
"So you think. In fact, right now I do not envy him one bit. I may not have been rich nor had the opportunity to enjoy all that he enjoyed with the wealth but he was lonely. You broke up and left him alone. What a father you are. Guess who the trophy of best father of the year goes to?"
Ye Sheng did not speak. He was much too tired mentally to play such games with his son.
"You cannot guess? It is you of course."
"Hao Huizhong, please do calm down."
"No. Because up till now you do not know that you have always been in the wrong and there never was one good thing you have truly done in your life."
"I loved my wife and I am sorry I could not love your mother as well. She was the best assistant I ever had."
"She did not ask for that. All I know was that if truly you cared for her as an assistant, you could have at least tried to check up on her after her resignation letter."
"I could not because I knew why she resigned. She did not resign because of any other thing other than she not being able to face the fact that I was in love with someone else."
'Exactly my point. You should have seen she was broken. Yet you gave in."
"You regret my decision in sleeping with her and granting her wish?"
"Yes," he said challengingly. "I regret it all."
"Then you should know that you would have never had been born."
"Perfecto. Not being born to a man like you." He paused, his anger rising and he only wished to quench it and state why he was here and ensure it worked.
"I did not come here for all this bullshit about the past but to inform you that you have a son."
"I am not rejecting all that. I would do a DNA test myself to ascertain that claim."
"You still doubt me?" Hao Huizhong was in for a shock.
"Still doubt, that is an understatement. You said so yourself, your mother did not want to ever meet with me again besides you knew the truth but waited till now to voice it out. How can I trust you and ake your world for it just like that?"
