He was shocked and angry for a while before commenting, “Mister Mu, what are you doing? What do you want by dragging your family to my place?”
“Mr. Gao, for the sake of your uncle, Wang Chuande, who is Wangke’s president, may I give you a word of advice?”
“A word of advice?” The more the man listened, the more incredulous he felt. He could not help bursting into a fit of angry laughter. “What kind of attitude is this!”
Youyou merely blinked his eyes and looked at the man sans a word.
The adult continued talking. “Did you just say that you want to give me advice? Hehe… Fine! I may as well listen. Tell me: What kinda advice do you wanna give?”
“I saw the recording of the presscon. Mr. Gao, you could be so thick-skinned. You didn’t even blink when you told a lie, but if you’re willing to hold a presscon tomorrow to clarify the matter, I can leave it be.”
The child’s soft and innocent voice rang clear and pleasant to the ear.
The boy sounded his age, his voice music to the ears.
Gao Nan, however, merely laughed again. “Are you ordering me around?”
“That’s right.” Youyou admittedly it unabashedly. “I’m not here to discuss this matter with you today. This is something you must do because good children can’t lie.”
The man froze for a moment and then suddenly laughed contemptuously. “What right do you have to order me around?” After a pause, he side-eyed the man sitting on the sofa. “Are you ordering me based on the authority of that outcast?”
“Outcast?”
The lad glanced at his father with mild surprise and then stifled a ‘pfft’ while the latter remained stoic.
“Daddy, why did he call you an outcast?”
His father did not reply, but Gao Nan sarcastically quipped, “You call him ‘daddy’? He he! How childish!”
He did not want to pick faults with a child. Turning his head to Mu Yazhe, he proceeded to say coldly, “I used to be in awe of you because you’re the Mu Group’s chairman and Disheng’s inheritor. At that time, you really had a prominent position! My uncle, like a well-behaved grandson, dared not let out a fart in front of you despite your loathsome persona! Even I had to bow down to you because of my uncle’s authority, but I’ve never once thought well of you. Who are you? You’re just a bit better than me in terms of birthright and capability, but apart from that, what else do you have that’s great?” After a pause, he sniggered. “As the saying goes, ‘Tides turn every ten years’! Now that you’re no longer the chairman of a giant corporation, you don’t possess that glory anymore, nor are you someone whom everyone should be in awe of! I heard that you had been expelled from the Mu family; how do you feel about that? How does it feel to fall from the pinnacle to the depths in just one night? Isn’t it humiliating? I don’t know how bad your life is now for you to bring your kids just to seek justice with me after your woman has been wronged. He he! Who are you now? What can you do to me?”
Mu Yazhe did not display any anger despite being outrightly humiliated. Instead, he smiled elegantly and replied unhurriedly, “You got something right and something else wrong.”
“What d’you mean?”
The playboy did not understand what the man was driving at.
What did he mean by getting something right and then something else wrong?
