Chapter 1001: Hyson Is Dating?"Huh?" Zhai Kuijun stared at his phone with a dumbfounded look and frowned to himself as he read the top trending news about Hyson.
It read,
[Movie Queen He Rou being intimate with a pop idol, Hyson on the set]
Below were the picture of He Rou and Hyson sitting close to each other.
There was another headline.
[Famous idol Hyson suspected to be dating Movie Queen He Rou. It seems love is brewing on the set.]
There was another picture of He Rou touching Hyson's head.
"He is dating?" asked Elder Yue.
Zhai Kuijun shook his head instinctively. "How is that possible? These headlines look so suspicious. I don't believe a word of it."
"Why? Do you know him that well?" asked Elder Yue curiously.
"It's not that I know him very well," said Zhai Kuijun. "But I heard from Yanjun that he isn't interested in dating. Besides, these paparazzi have nothing better to do. These marketing accounts are looking for trouble. From what I heard, Yue Fai has never had a scandal since he debuted. Not even a fake one. All because Raelle and Mu Chenyan are too protective of him. They are gutsy for wanting to go head-on with people like Raelle and Mu Chenyan."
He shook his head with a look of schadenfreude.
Hearing this, Elder Yue's eyes flashed as he said, "Do you know that Yue Lan got into trouble with Yue Yue?"
Zhai Kuijun stopped talking and looked at Elder Yue saying, "I'm not interested in knowing about her affairs."
"Don't take me wrong," started Elder Yue. "I'm not informing you to take pity on her. In fact, there is nothing to sympathize with here. She brought it upon herself. She thought she'd go against Ah-Yue as she always did and win. No matter how unreasonable she was. But she didn't realize that Ah-Yue was no longer the same Ah-Yue. She won't take the loss this time silently. At least, the people around her won't allow it." He sighed, "She is banned by the party. She won't be joining the office anymore and won't be able to get the ticket for the elections. In short, her politician career is over before it can even begin."
Zhai Kuijun raised his brow when heard the details of the matter and was actually very pleased by this outcome.
"I didn't think Mu Chenyan would for the one-shot kill," said Zhai Kuijun.
"It's not Mu Chenyan who did it," said Elder Yue. "It's Xia Zhao."
Zhai Kuijun frowned incredulously before his eyes widened, "You mean that Xia Zhao?" Elder Yue nodded his head. "How does Yue know him? Isn't he always living in seclusion? Doesn't like to socialize, has little interests in world affairs and almost looks like a immortal who keeps himself clean from the dirt of this world."
"You know him?"
"Not really."
"Anyway, it's that Xia Zhao who is behind Yue Lan's misfortune."
"But why would he do that?"
"Yue Lan said he did it for Yue Yue. That's why I asked you. I thought you'd know how they are related."
"I don't know," said Zhai Kuijun. "Is it possible that he is Yue Fai's father?"
Elder Yue almost rolled his eyes at Zhai Kuijun. "Where did that thought come from?"
Zhai Kuijun shrugged, "I am just taking a blind shot here."
"Kuijun, you really don't know who Yue Fai's father is?" asked Elder Yue.
"I don't," replied Zhai Kuijun affirmatively. "I asked Yue but she didn't give me a clear answer. I told you. It's like she just doesn't want to talk about it and I don't want to remind her of her pain by talking about it."
"Have you thought that maybe it's not the pain she is avoiding but something else?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"What if the identity of her son's father is difficult to bring up?" asked Elder Yue. "Maybe she knows that by talking about it she'd be ruining the peace of someone's family and that's why she is keeping quiet."
Zhai Kuijun contemplated those words and felt very odd in his heart.
"Elder Yue, what do you know?" asked Zhai Kuijun. "Do you know who Fai's father is?"
"What if I do? Do you want to know?"
"Yes," replied Zhai Kuijun.
"Why?" Elder Yue stared at Zhai Kuijun. "Why do you want to know Kuijun? Why does it concern you so much?"
"Because I want to know who made her suffer for so long. From the moment I first met her and saved her from bullies, I promised myself that I'd do everything in my power to protect her because I didn't like seeing her crying. Of course, I want to know why she had to suffer."
"Will you be able to take it?" asked Elder Yue further. "Is your heart strong enough to know the truth of this matter?"
"I don't understand what you're saying. Why are you asking me this? My heart is obviously strong enough for this. I promise it won't give up so soon." Taking a pause, he asked with a pleading, "So, please, tell me who is Fai's father?"
"You," replied Elder Yue straightforwardly.
Zhai Kuijun staggered a little and had to sit back down on his chair.
"It's you. Yue Fai is your son," added Elder Yue. "Don't you already find it odd why Fai looks like Yanjun? Even if they are cousins, they shouldn't share such resemblance."
Zhai Kuijun felt like his mind exploded with this information. The sound of thunder in his head was too overwhelming and he found it difficult to even focus on anything right now. He was so taken aback that he forgot to react. How was he supposed to react? He suddenly forgot everything.
He was in so much disbelief that he looked at Elder Yue trying to see if he was lying or not but clearly, Elder Yue wasn't lying.
"It's hard to believe? Why do you think Yue Lan got the chance to kick Yue Yue out of the family? What else could she use against her except that her own sister slept with her husband? It was the perfect strike that even I couldn't save Yue Yue."
Zhai Kuijun's heart clenched when he heard.
