Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1392: Life of Wealth and Privilege

The old butler nearby saw that the master wouldn’t waver in the slightest, and sighed helplessly, wondering why the master had to be like this.

On one hand, he felt sorry for his granddaughter, Xiao Keyi, and on the other hand, he felt sorry for the young man, Xu Ke. With things like this, not just the master, even he was about to have a mental breakdown.

"You know, maybe you should ease up. After all, we old folks can’t meddle in young people’s affairs anymore. Why keep a grip on their matters? It’s better to let go a little and let these young people get what they want. Otherwise, if they’re unhappy, are we really happy?"

Hearing the butler’s words, Old Master Xiao couldn’t help but let out a sigh. Indeed, when the kids weren’t happy, neither was he. But what could he do? If his granddaughter had no health issues, perhaps Old Master Xiao wouldn’t be so heartless.

But now, with his granddaughter’s health problems, Old Master Xiao had to care.

At the same time, Yu Hao was particularly anxious upon returning home. Seeing her son so worried, Molly was unsure what was wrong, especially after the grievance she suffered today. Thinking about it made Molly angry, so she threw her bag onto the sofa and started cursing.

"You don’t know what a damned father you have. He hasn’t come home for days, and today I ran into him at the mall with another woman. How can I swallow this? And now he doesn’t listen to a word I say. I’m really disappointed to death."

Seeing her son rubbing his forehead with impatience, Molly got even angrier. She had suffered such grievance, and her son showed no reaction. If so, what’s the point of living?

"Why are you looking impatient? I carried you for ten months and raised you. Why treat me like this? And don’t you know what you did to your dad? Aren’t you listening to me now? Are you now impatient with me too?"

Seeing his mom being irrational and clueless about the company’s situation, Yu Hao felt extremely aggrieved. All the pressure remained on him, while his mom knew nothing but to act up every day.

Does it really have to be this way for everything to come to him? Mom truly was naive, not considering him at all.

"Do you know the company’s been struggling lately? I’ve been unable to move freely at work, projects have issues, and you return home only to argue with me. How am I supposed to calm down?"

Molly was momentarily stunned at her son’s near breakdown. Her son had never reacted this way. What’s going on now? It’s just a minor issue, does he need to yell at her like this?

But now she didn’t dare disturb her son truly. Her husband wasn’t giving money anymore, and she was counting on her son for some pocket money. Otherwise, she’d face ridicule when meeting with her friends tomorrow.

So her attitude became particularly humble, as she poked her son’s arm and pulled him to sit down: "Alright, mom knows her temper was bad just now and took it out on you, but it’s because mom’s too disappointed. After all, your dad doesn’t seem to care about mom now. Tell me what’s happening, and maybe mom can come up with a solution."

Despite speaking gently and quietly, Molly only hoped to get some money, evident from the urgency in her eyes.

But Yu Hao didn’t notice, feeling like he had someone to vent to.

"I recently did an animation that I thought would make a name in the market, but I didn’t expect it to be stomped by a subsidiary of Xiao Group. Plus, my dad is directly back in the company and seems to want to get involved with affairs. If things continue, I might lose my voice in the company."

Yu Hao was particularly scared. He had already had a paternity test done with a doctor and confirmed they weren’t father and son biologically. But now, to preserve everything in hand, Yu Hao could only appease his dad.

Just hoping that his dad would remain in the dark. But hearing her son’s words, Molly suddenly recalled her husband holding a little girl’s hand and sweet-talking her.

"Fine! I never thought Yu Jian would dare betray me and treat you like this. If so, I won’t show him any mercy. Don’t worry, son, this time I’ll stand by you no matter what. I’ll fight back for you and get justice. Your dad really is too confused, and I saw him today holding that little girl’s hand. Seems it’s all true."

Molly was particularly angry, initially believing her husband was faithful. But unexpectedly, he also had a woman secretly and even had a child with that woman.

She thought her son’s words were untrue; maybe her husband stayed with the woman out of guilt for her. But unexpectedly, it turned out to be so blatant.

Yu Hao didn’t expect his mom to still dwell on this issue. Isn’t this supposed to be a life-or-death moment? Why isn’t she focusing on getting things in hand but instead fixating on plotting against that woman?

Thinking about his absurd deeds and demanding loyalty from others, it seems his mom still lives in a fairy tale.

But she couldn’t be provoked into anger now; otherwise, she’d gain nothing and might disrupt his plans.

Yu Hao embraced his mother’s arm patiently, saying, "Mom, don’t dwell on dad’s issues. Besides, if you let dad know I’m not his biological son, he’d never accept such a severe betrayal. So just pretend you don’t know this matter and be gentle with him. Once we get the company shares, you can leave dad to be with that woman. Wouldn’t you then be satisfied?"

Molly heard her son’s words and sensed something odd. How could her son speak this way?

Patting Yu Hao’s hand, she felt particularly uneasy: "Don’t overthink. He’s still your dad. Also, although he has another woman, I never planned on leaving this wealthy life."
