As Anya half-squatted, she hugged Ning Ning in her arms and both mother and child smiled happily. The scene was warm, and Ye Chen’s heart fluttered as he saw the photograph.

His cold gaze suddenly became gentle and he seemed to be enjoying the moment.

Ye Chen even discovered that he was so eager for Anya to tell him that Ning Ning was his son and become a family with him. He would not reject such a fantasy. He even felt ecstatic at the thought of it.

“How do you explain this?” Old Master Ye was furious. “No wonder I felt that this child had a peculiar look when I met him that day. He lied to me that his father was a teacher.”

Seeing this photo, Old Master Ye recalled his encounter with Ning Ning and was even angrier.

Ye Chen was obviously lying to him.

Old Master Ye felt it was weird that there were people in the world who almost resembled each other. That kid looked so similar to Ye Chen, yet he had thought of it as a coincidence. Little did he know that he had been lied to.

“Have you seen him?” Ye Chen asked, his dangerous gaze slowly rising.

“I am asking you to explain how this child came about!” Old Master Ye bellowed. He was a man who once ruled and dominated throughout his life. He was violent when young, and despite showing restraint in his older age, he still emanated an aura of dominance that left people cornered and breathless.

When he was angry, he was like an old lion full of energy. It was even scarier.

Ye Chen remained indifferent, yet elegant. A shred of mockery appeared momentarily and he said politely, “Father, what are you unhappy about? He is the oldest grandson of the Ye family.”

Ruan Cuiyu eyes grew wide and replied coldly, “Third master, this child in the photo must be about six to seven years old now. You have sure kept him out of sight well. What were you planning? If you want to be open and aboveboard, bring this child back here. We won’t eat him up. What were you trying to say by hiding this from us for such a long time?”

Ning Ning was about Ye Yutong’s age, and one Ye Chen was enough of a headache, let alone Ye Chen’s family. One could imagine how unhappy Ruan Cuiyu was.

She would not allow anyone to hinder her plans for Ye Yutong.

Ye Chen looked at her coldly and sneered. “What right do you have to tell me how I should mind my business?”

Cuiyu lacked self-awareness. Let alone Ye Chen, even Ye Yutang did not show her much respect. Had she not given birth to Ye Yutong, she would not even have had a foothold in the Ye family.

Cuiyu was mean and selfish, and Ye Chen had seen through her motives of wanting the Ye family’s inheritance for herself. Old Master Ye was aware as well, but he was not as calculative on Ye Yutong’s account.

“You…” Ruan Cuiyu’s face turned red, embarrassed. She turned to Old Master Ye for help. “Old master… look at him…”

“Shut up!” Old Master Ye warned her with a fierce gaze. Ruan Cuiyu stopped making a scene and looked at Ye Chen with a gaze full of hate, not muttering a word.

“Ye Chen, you have grown up and are independent now, eh? You have hidden this kid from all of us for so long. Did you plan to hide this kid from me forever?” Old Master Ye said solemnly as his blurry eyes shot a cutting gaze. “What do you plan to do?”

In fact, Old Master Ye was not the most infuriated at how Ye Chen had hidden Ning Ning’s existence.

Old Master Ye had no idea about it, and Ye Chen had just known about Ning Ning. Old Master Ye felt that Ye Chen had deliberately hidden something from him for all these years. All these years, Old Master Ye, at least himself, thought that his control over Ye Chen was totally perfect.

He was privy to all of MBS’s dealings, whether public or secret.

Old Master Ye had also kept tabs on Ye Chen’s private life by having people check on him. He would not allow Ye Chen to slip out of his grasp.

Old Master Ye thought he had done a commendable job keeping Ye Chen in his grasp. Apart from the occasional coldness, Ye Chen had been obedient in the past few years and become Old Master Ye’s pawn. Ye Chen’s obedience allowed a semblance of peace in this distorted father-son relationship.

In addition, Old Master Ye had arranged for Yun Ruoxi to be by Ye Chen’s side. With this arrangement, Old Master Ye was relaxed even if Ye Chen was extremely indiscreet about his personal life.

But today, it was revealed that Ye Chen had an illegitimate child. That sent Old Master Ye into a shock and rage.

Old Master Ye believed Ye Chen was unpredictable and had slipped out of his control years ago. Given Ye Chen’s means, Old Master Ye would not have been able to discover that Ye Chen had a son that was not so young anymore.

To Old Master Ye, this was like a slap to the face.

He deeply felt that he was about to lose control of his son.

And the other reason was… the woman in the photo…

“Father, I do not understand what you mean. I have a son, and that is something to be happy about. What are you angry about?” Ye Chen asked knowingly as he seemingly laughed elegantly. “What are you worried about?”

Worried that Ye Chen would usurp MBS?

Hey, who really cared!

Old Master Ye was so angry that his face was contorted. “What am I worried about? Humph, Ye Chen, are you sure you don’t know?”

“Father’s thoughts are unfathomable!” Ye Chen’s immaculate facial features had a thin veil of indifference to them. Although he was smiling, the people around him felt a chill.

“Do not say that you have not been warned. MBS Corporation belongs to the Ye family, not you! Do not think that you can do whatever you want as the president of MBS Corporation. You are not capable!” Old Master Ye was exasperated by Ye Chen’s indifference and chose to plainly make his case.

Even if Ye Chen had a son, Old Master Ye would not hand over MBS Corporation to him. Then, what about that woman…

“Father, you sure are thoughtful to remind me lest I forget, eh? Second brother saw me and warned me once that MBS belongs to him, so why are you worried that I am unaware of this fact?” Ye Chen smiled elegantly despite his cold gaze.

Old Master Ye grunted and said, “It’d be best that you are aware of this fact. I will not recognize this child!”

Ye Chen’s gaze sank, darkness racing past his pale cheeks. Coldly laughing, he said, “Father, you must be joking. I must recognize my son, but your recognition, whether you do or not, does not matter!”

Ye Chen also did not want his recognition!

Ye Chen clenched his fists and his face was cold. Old Master Ye had not even recognized his son, let alone his grandson.

If he did not have any talent in management, he would have been evicted out of the household by Old Master Ye and would not have stayed until today.

Just like what happened slightly more than a decade ago.

Old Master Ye’s coldness and ruthless indirectly gave him his darkest and humiliating years!

This hatred was deeply hidden in Ye Chen’s heart for more than ten years. He desperately hid it, and nobody from the Ye and the Yang families would be spared.

Old Master Ye did not recognize him, and he could not be bothered with Old Master Ye’s recognition.

Father was just a title to call him by.

If Old Master Ye really thought Ye Chen was unable to live without MBS, then that was wishful thinking of his.

He, Ye Chen, only had a mother and no father!

“And then, father, how did you know I have a son?” Ye Chen asked. He was curious. Was it a coincidence?

Was it still a coincidence?

Why today? Ye Chen’s train of thoughts became dark. It had better be not… Otherwise…

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed as he thought of Cheng Anya almost being amputated. Thinking of that almost scared the daylights out of him. However, Ning Ning acted calm and unaffected in spite of his murderous gaze.

This accident almost ruined Cheng Anya.

It almost ruined his family!

Ye Chen had better not get any clues. He would not let the perpetrator off so easily!
