52: Chapter 53 Misunderstanding (7)
Yu Zexiao walked up to the coffee table in the living room, picked up his phone, and upon seeing the name on the screen, his already furrowed brow deepened further.
As he hesitated about whether to answer, the call finally disconnected.
No sooner had Yu Zexiao taken the phone in his hand than it relentlessly started ringing again.
This time, he picked up the call, but his tone wasn’t exactly cordial, “What do you want?”
“What do I want?” On the other end of the line, a middle-aged man’s steady voice was slightly suppressed, clearly tinged with a hint of anger, “Zexiao, the bigger you get, the less disciplined you become!”
Yu Zexiao snorted derisively, “I lack discipline?
If I lack discipline, it’s because you taught me that way!”
“What kind of attitude is that!” the man’s voice sharply rose, clearly, Yu Zexiao’s nonchalant demeanor had infuriated him, “I am your father, is this how you respond to me?” He restrained himself, and after a long pause, he spoke again, “I heard you’ve gotten involved with a woman who dances in a nightclub? 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
I absolutely forbid it!”
Absolutely forbid it!
It was that kind of attitude again.
Yu Zexiao let out a disdainful huff, his face filled with defiance and reluctance.
This was his father, the successful man in the eyes of others, the president of Huanyu Group, Yu Jingxi, who only knew how to suppress him with forceful means.
From his childhood, he had always been made to follow a path that had been meticulously planned for him.
He loved music and once, behind his father’s back, had secretly learned to play the guitar.
When his dad found out, the store was forced to relocate.
He said it was irresponsible.
How could his son, Yu Jingxi’s son, dabble in music or venture into the superficial world of entertainment?
He was supposed to study finance, to one day take over the vast family business of Huanyu Group.
Or follow in his grandfather’s footsteps into politics, not lose himself among the music staves.
The more he was suppressed, the more he wanted to rebel!
He deliberately pursued the very things Yu Jingxi disliked.
His nitpicky temper and his capricious nature were also related to such an authoritarian family environment.
Reflecting on Yu Jingxi’s younger days, he, too, had a similar temperament.
From this perspective, Yu Zexiao and his father really seemed as if they were cast in the same mold…
Because it was so quiet in the room, Jian Anning, who was standing by the door, clearly also heard Yu Jingxi’s lecturing voice on the phone.
But then, Yu Zexiao’s next reply almost made her bite her tongue in shock!
“What can I do, I just like her, yeah.” Yu Zexiao said deliberately nonchalantly, “I think she’s quite good, sincere, gentle, and very understanding—of how to take care of me.”
He gestured dramatically as he exaggerated his description of Jian Anning, deliberately dropping a bombshell, “Besides, whether you like it or not, maybe, I’m going to be a dad soon.
You’re going to be a grandfather.”
“What did you say?” Yu Jingxi on the phone and Jian Anning outside it exclaimed at the same time!
Yu Zexiao turned around only to see Jian Anning standing by the door, her eyes wide with astonishment!
What, what was he talking about!
The events of that night had clearly been forgotten by both of them.
And besides, she had already taken emergency contraception, so how could there be a baby?
Yu Zexiao’s expression darkened, a flash of annoyance passing through his deep pupils.
He detested it when people spied on him, especially when they eavesdropped on his family matters!
Even if he had just taken an interest in Jian Anning’s body.
