Chapter 214 - Selfish

Without waiting for her reply, he snapped, "We will not give our kids such shaddy names, you do know that names reflect the character of a person? Like Yichan, such a wonderful name, full of meaning."

Raising her brows, she folded her arms in the front and inquired, "What does your name mean?"

Hesitating for a while, he answered with zero knowledge but full confidence, "Handsome, loving, romantic, good in bed."

Rolling her eyes at him, she knocked his forehead, "I think you have a different kind of issue with Yitian."

"What issue? What are you talking about? I am just stating that his name is cody shady, how is that having an issue with him?" he frowned.

Ignoring his strange behaviour, she asked, "They are surely not going with us so I have already asked the chauffeur to fetch them from here."

Scrunching his brows, he thought for a while before grabbing her hand and walking towards their car. "Let's go home fast then—"

"What? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"We need to get home and have our breakfast before our no so welcomed guests arrive. I don't want you cooking for them or anything, the kitchen is always open so they can make whatever they want and fill their stomach." Taking the car keys from her hand, he added, "Aunt Lin is there to attend them so don't bother."

"That is okay but he haven't greeted aunt Wenna and uncle Dao—"

Cutting her off, he snapped, "It's not that important honey, we have our own priorities."

Without giving her a chance to say anything, he forced her into the car and closed the door before jogging to the driver's seat.

While the couple left in a hurry, the atmosphere inside the mansion turned dark and gloomy again in their absence.

….

Inside the mansion.

"Wenna, take Yihong's new wife and son inside for a while," Grandpa Mo instructed.

Without saying anything, Wenna did what she was told before giving Daoming a 'Handle everything well' look.

After the three of them were no more in sight, grandpa Mo narrowed his eyes, "What do you exactly want?" Without waiting for Yitong's reply, he continued, "Don't give me that you miss Yichan and shit, I am too old and clever than you to buy that. I wanna know why exactly you are invading my territory and life again."

"I mean no harm dad, I just wanted to come back for good and to solve everything."

"There is nothing to solve." This time it was Grandpa Yang who lost his cool because he knew that the mess Yitong was referring to was related to his granddaughter. "I don't need anyone to solve anything, I am more than capable of facing everything on my own."

Helplessly shaking his head, Yitong sighed, "You both are still the same, infact, you both have become more stubborn and glib." Pausing for a while, he added, "When will you people understand that this isn't something that can be solved by you or me alone? What makes you think that Weilong will be able to deal with this all by himself? It's been so many years and yet you people don't want to understand what needs to be done."

"Stop acting like a wise man when there is nothing but poop inside that skull of yours," grandpa Mo fumed.

"We have been handling everything quite well for so many years and—"

Cutting him off, Yitong pointed out, "Handling it, you have been handling it for years but did you manage to get rid of it? No, right? Well, none of us could. We could only keep her away from the danger but we couldn't terminate the danger from her life and you all know that what I am saying makes a hundred percent sense. But you people are so full of yourselves that you don't wanna listen."

"You—"

Cutting his father off, Yitong roared, "Yes, I know that I am a coward and also know that I have wronged a lot of people, especially you and Yichan. I understand your anger and my son's hatred for me but I also know that I deserve it." Balling his hand into a fist, he gritted his teeth, "That was the weakest moment of my life and I ended up doing something that I shouldn't have but what can I do? It's already done and there is no way I can change it."

"My father hates me and my son doesn't even want to call me his dad, my life is already a mess but I don't want to complain because this is what I deserve." Pausing for a while, he added, "I don't want anything from anyone and I am not here to interfere with your lives or to make anyone sad. I am here to protect the one person that my son cares the most about and if anything happens to her, I know that it will break him. I have already taken many things away from Yichan but this time, my son is not only to lose a dime and I'll make sure that he doesn't."

Looking at Grandpa Mo, Yitong took a deep breath, "If you still want me to answer your question then yes, I am back for a reason but it isn't a selfish one. I am here to do something that will bring a smile on my son's face so please, let me do what I want to."

Helplessly shaking his head, grandpa Yang mockingly chuckled, "You and Weilong should save your speech for people who will actually think that it is real." Walking towards Yitomg, he continued, "Okay, maybe you are here to protect Ning because she is your son's wife but tell me Yitong, is that the only reason you are here? If yes then why were you hiding for all these years and busy enjoying your new life with your new family? Same goes to Weilong, he was also busy with his own family and happily raising his other son. Both of you suddenly decided to show up with your double faced fatherly feelings and guilt only after trouble started brewing because even you both will be targeted if they manage to get their hands on Ning."

Pausing for a while, he curiously inquired, "So tell me, are you only back because you care about Yichan and you want to protect Ning or are you back because they abducted Darwin?"

When Yitong pursed his lips, grandpa Yang scoffed, "You thought we wouldn't find out? We are old now and maybe we act like we don't care about anything but believe me child, we have our eyes everywhere."

Daoming frowned and inquired, "What? They have Darwin? When did this happen?"

"Yes, I knew they had Darwin but I had planned to come—"

Cutting him off, Grandpa Yang snapped once again, "The people who have genuinely cared about Ning and Yichan are the ones who have been around them all the time. Both you and Weilong had your chance but you both chose to abandon them and just walk out like nothing happened. You don't actually care about your kids, you people just want to wear that guilt that has been killing you for years."

"Actually, I am glad that you both left your kids behind because we raised them a hundred times better than you people could. Both of them are capable, strong and successful now, they can deal with their own problems," grandpa Mo proudly declared.

"I-I don't understand, if Darwin is really missing and if he has been kidnapped by them then why aren't we doing anything?" Daoming panicked.

"Darwin is just a pawn that they used to get his shameless man back, I am sure that they will send him back or maybe you might receive his body parts in a small plastic bag," grandpa Yang answered.

"Or may be a sausage Darwin," grandpa Mo chuckled.

Passing one of the candy bar's to grandpa Mo, grandpa Yang smirked, "I am curiously waiting for Yichan's reaction when he finds out the entire truth, including how his father bailed out or rather why he bailed out."

….

Mo base.

Jason's room.

"Where are you going?"

Checking himself out in the mirror, Linhou answered, "Going to Lucas's place for an urgent meeting."

Raising his brows, Jason gave him a very suspicious glare. "You? Meeting with Lucas? You gotta be kidding me Linhou."

"Not kidding pal, I really have a meeting with him so if you please excuse me, I need to leave."

Finding his behaviour very strange, Jason curiously inquired, "Will you tell me what is going on? There has to be a stronger reason behind you having a meeting with a person you hate the most. What is it? Are you trying to do something behind my back?" When Linhou didn't say anything, he gritted his teeth, "Tell me now and not force me to hack into your system."

"But I am not a computer so humanly, hacking isn't possible," he chuckled.
