Chapter 476 “The Imminent Start of the Convention (3)”
In other words, that person couldn’t be the boy’s mother.
“What’s more…” Elder Gu pauses to let his words sink in, “It’s one thing for the husband, but the son also? If Miss Ye Ying really did something like that then do you think she would still be living right now milord?”
The last remark clearly had an effect in relieving the tenseness in Bai Zhanpeng’s frown: “Yes, your words make sense. Fine then, I will handle the matter once I got time, but if she did provoke my niece….” He sneered, letting murder emulate out of his iris, “Then she… can forget about living!”
Showing a faint smile, Elder Gu appeared very pleased by this outcome. Young Master is always like this. He always doted his sister and now he’s transferring all of that feeling to his niece instead.
“Elder Gu, I understand Ye Ying’s matter can’t be overlooked but that isn’t our biggest concern for now. I must go make preparations for my niece’s return, only like that can we keep those people in the Medicine Sect from objecting. So, I want you to go tell the others that I won’t be attending the convention.”
“Yes, milord.”
“And,” Bai Zhanpeng deliberately lowers his voice, “don’t tell my father that I saw Xiachen. From the looks of it, my grand-nephew doesn’t seem like he’s willing to leave with me. If it becomes known then my father would surely rush over. I’m afraid his overly excited self would scare the boy.”
How can such a lovely child withstand that frightening old man’s torture? No, I must keep this under wraps at all levels.
“Don’t worry milord, I will keep my mouth shut tighter than anything in these lands.”
“Then that’s all I need to hear,” huffing a sigh of relief, “go to my father’s side for now. By the way, often mention in his presence that he must control his emotions when meeting Bai Yan and her son. I don’t want anything unexpected to occur when the time comes….”
Towards that demand, Elder Gu only made a wryly smile inside his heart in light of responding with a bow. How can I possibly make that sort of reminder in front of your old man’s presence? Besides, there’s no way his lordship would listen.
……
Inside the venue, the crowds were getting noisier as the hour drew closer to the arranged time. Nevertheless, a brief moment of silence did overtake the place when Ye Ying first entered from the outside.
For Bai Yan herself, she naturally wouldn’t miss the negative gaze shooting her way from the girl. Even so, she didn’t care. The only thing that matters in her eyes was the little steambun currently running into her arms.
“Son, how come you came back alone? Where’s Little Rice and Mo Li Shang?” Holding that soft cuddly body up, she gives him a hearty peck on the cheek.
“Little Rice he… he ran out to play,” Bai Xiachen was rather taken aback by the question because he expected his friend to be back earlier than himself. “As for Uncle Shang… I seem to have left him behind by mistake.”
That’s right, due to being overly occupied with Bai Zhanpeng, this little guy actually forgot the teen who was supposed to return and find him.
“Uncle Shang?” Bai Yan’s brow gently furrows up.
In response, Bai Xiachen only spat his tongue out in a naughty manner: “Mother, I really like Uncle Mo, that’s why I went ahead and asked him to become my real uncle. Would you blame me Mother?”
“Why would I blame you?” Scratching that cherry nose of the boy’s, Bai Yan reveals a spoiled smile: “Shang Shang is very good, there’s nothing wrong with him being my little brother.”
Unbeknownst to this doting mother though, Di Cang had long bought out her son and it’s now her against the two devious foxes. If Bai Yan knew the truth, its unlikely she would still think this way…..
