Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Chapter 473: National Son

The Old Lady brought Lu Mengxi around the hall, and that had somehow signified that she was indeed going to be marrying Ye Ling. She was just feeling happy and satisfied. She was anticipating for Ye Ling’s appearance and hoping to perform well around him, but who knew? Ye Ling had actually given her a ‘tight slap on the face,’ making her dizzy. The embarrassment she felt escalated into anger.

Ye Old Lady looked totally displeased. She patted Lu Mengxi’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, I’m in charge.”

Lu Mengxi forced out a smile, not losing her ladylike self.

People were whispering to one another. So many people were waiting to watch the ‘joke.’

“Look, Tong Hua is here too.”

“Wow, our nation’s son. What exactly is the relationship between Tong Hua and Ye Ling? Could they be father and son?”

Ye Yifan held Tong Hua’s hand as they entered behind Ye Ling and Shen Qianshu. If he was not tall, he would have asked Ye Yifan to carry him in. He was wrapped in thick clothing, and as he entered the house, he felt warm. Ye Yifan removed his huge military jacket, and it was only then when Tong Hua’s gentlemanly outfit could be seen. He was really well dressed, and he looked exceptionally good. Ye Yifan squatted down smilingly and wiped the bits of snow off Tong Hua. Then, he raised his voice and said, “Where’s the ginger soup?”

“Coming, coming...” A servant brought out a bowl of ginger soup. Ye Yifan had ordered for her to prepare it while they were on the way. Tong Hua was freezing cold. He grabbed the ginger soup hurriedly and only felt warm after drinking the soup.

Shen Qianshu touched his face. “Are you cold?”

“Not anymore.”

They had been sitting in the car, and they had only walked a short distance. The biggest fear one could have was a big change in temperature. Children were more squeamish. Tong Hua felt better after drinking the ginger soup.

Ye Yifan’s love for Tong Hua was plainly visible. He clearly doted on him.

The grand and exquisite hall was dead silent.

Ye Ling held onto Shen Qianshu while Ye Yifan held onto Tong Hua. Then, they went to greet the Ye Old Lady.

This was the closest Lu Mengxi had ever been around Ye Ling, and her heart was palpitating wildly. However, upon seeing how well-dressed Shen Qianshu was, she could not help it but feel a strong sense of anger rising within her.

This pesky Shen Qianshu!

“Granny, Happy New Year!” Ye Ling said calmly.

Ye Yifan sounded really jovial. “Grandma, Happy New Year.”

Ye Feifei was set on pleasing Lu Mengxi. The moment Shen Qianshu appeared, the lecherous eyes of Lu Qiming were all glued onto Shen Qianshu. He could not regain his senses. Ye Feifei cursed inwardly, Wretched woman! She scoffed and said, “Ye Ling, Yifan, are the two of you here to ensure that your granny would not have a happy new year? How could you bring any Tom, Dick, and Harry into the house? Don’t you know where this place is? How could you just bring anyone?”

Ye Yifan’s smile was always on his face, but it became less cheerful. Tong Hua reached out his arm and tugged at Ye Ling’s sleeve. Then, with childlike anger, he asked, “Daddy, isn’t this our home?”

“Yes, it is!”

Tong Hua glowed. “A guest who’s being hosted by the owner of the house is insulting the host. What kind of logic is this?”

“A lack of manners!”

“Then can we kick her out?”

“We can!”

Everyone stared in shock.

The guests were all suspecting if their ears were working properly.

Could all the rumors really be true?

Tong Hua called him ‘daddy.’

This caused an earth-shattering response.

Ye Feifei was furious, and her face turned pale. As the only daughter in the Ye Family, she had always been doted on. She was also doted on by the Ye Old Lady, and she got everything she wanted. She had never been humiliated in such a way.

“What nonsense are you talking about? This is the Ye Family. Who are you? Where did this bastard, this illegitimate child come from!”

The guests were all staring at them in great curiosity.

Ye Ling’s gaze became colder. “Your eyesight is bad, and your ears are deaf as well!”

Everyone heard Tong Hua calling Ye Ling ‘daddy.’
