Chapter 567 - Hao Huizhong"s Father
*************
CHAPTER 566
"He doesn"t need to be here. I am enough. You can tell me what you need to say," Ye Sheng argued.
A part of him was getting so worked up about the possibility of the whole issue. And that being that Hao Huaizhing knew his secret with the underaged girl and he did not want for any reason fr Ye Cheng to be told.
Telling Ye Cheng meant, his ex-wife, Li An finding out and that also spelt out trouble.
Here he was trying to get what he could from his son and now this idiot wanted to spoil things for him.
"I hate his guts and the smug look on his face. I bet Zhang Zhou put him up for this to come and tempt me. Ye Cheng should have allowed this imbecile rot when he had the chance. Now, look. I am the one suffering the consequences."
"Hmm, is that so? Well, I think not. A minute more and Ye Cheng would here, so take that precious sixty seconds to cool off because you will be needing it," Hoa Huizhong said, pulling his attention back to him.
"Is this ingrate trying to play it cool with me? How dare he act in such a way? I wonder what useless man birthed this idiot. No manners." While his thoughts were busy with Hao Huizhong, the doork.n.o.b turned and Hao Huizhong smiled.
"I told you he would be here."
Stepping in, Ye Cheng"s gaze went straight to the extra person seated opposite his father"s chair and rather than smiling, he closed the door with force and walked in.
"Give me two reasons why I should not be flinging you out right now or calling the police?"
"There would be no need for that, Ye Cheng."
"Hmm," he scoffed at him. By now he was already standing at his side.
Ignoring him, he moved his gaze to the other problematic person in his life. "What reasons do you have for keeping him here?"
"So many," Ye Sheng responded but even at that, his eyes did not relax, they held quite the same amount of anger that Ye Cheng"s did.
"I doubt that. What does he want/"
"I do not know," Ye Sheng answered truthfully.
"And yet you say for so many reasons, father have you learnt anything in all your years of being a businessman?"
"You would watch your tongue son. I am no nuisance neither am I young in the business world."
"Then explain why you allow your enemy to freely walk into the company and parade as he wants?"
"If you have done the needful then, none of us would have been in this boat today."
"Done? It was my own business, not yours."
"As if! He stole from the company. That is hardly your business."
"And how did you know about that?"
"I am chairman. What were you thinking I was? A puppet or a figurehead?"
"Hmm, I wish it were that simple. That way I wouldn"t be pulled into your mess every now and then."
"Sigh, I would love to hear you two banter it out but I am afraid I have other goals in mind and right now, I should be the celebrity not you too."
"Shut it!" Both men hollered at him at the same time. They already had enough of his bulls.h.i.t.
"I wish I could," he snickered, letting out a hearty laughter. "Haha.. but as I said, this is about me and you two," he pointed at them. "Now that the hall is full and the main guest of honours are here, I believe it is time to begin."
"Begin what?"
"The reason I am here, Ye Cheng. Please have a seat two of you."
They glared at him, then shared a glance in their direction and finally, father and son sat down.
"You see, I am here today to reveal something to you two."
"Go straight to the pnt. We are not interested in your pep talk."
"You should be."
"For over twenty-six years now, this secret has remained."
Just hearing him call out twenty-six years, Ye Sheng"s fast-beating heart began to calm down. It simply meant, his speculations were wrong.
"Sir, Chairman Ye, it is with no great pleasure that I tell you today, of my birth status and the person who my real father is."
GBAGHANN!!
Ye Cheng did not say anything and kept his cool waiting for Hao Huizhing to complete his words.
"I am not a Hao. My real name should be, Ye Huaizhong. You, Chairman Ye, you are my father."
GBAGBAGHHHHHHH!
It felt like several bottles and gla.s.ses shattered to pieces before Ye Sheng as his eyes widened in shock.
"You said what?!"
"I said, you are my father."
Everyone remained silent. The shock that appeared on Ye Sheng"s face did not change once but Ye Cheng on the other hand kept his cool.
All of a sudden…
"Hahha haha hahahhahaha…." Ye Cheng forgot about keeping his composure and burst into an uproar of laughter.
This was the most amazing, yet annoying, most unrealistic stupid news he had ever heard in his life.
Both Hao Huizhong and Ye Sheng averted their haze to him but neither one of them laughed.
For Ye Sheng, he was tempted beyond a reasonable doubt to join in on the laughter, but something told him that Hao Huizhong was saying the truth.
After what seemed to be like forever, Ye Cheng finally calmed down. "You are joking, right? Boy, you are funny! After how long is it? A year plus, you come here, after knowing my family for years now and you claim that he, my father is your father?"
"Yes. I believe this matter is f the utmost importance."
"Sorry. I just could not control myself nor stop myself from laughing. You really mean it that?"
"I do. Laugh all you want. I only came here to tell him and claim what is mine."
"What do you mean? You have nothing. There is no proof to this claim," Ye Sheng argued.
"You should have thought about this before going in with your personal a.s.sistant before your wedding."
"WHAT!"
It was now Ye Cheng"s turn to be surprised by Hao Huizhong"s confession.
"What did you say? You mean what?" He turned to his father, "Father, tell me that not an inch of what he is saying is true. Talk to me!" Ye Cheng demanded.
His brain was hurt already by the news and he knew if someone else found out, she would be so hurt.
All this while he had thought that his parents" marriage broke because his mother lost her friend and could not come out from such a traumatic experience and since his father could not help her, he decided to satisfy his manly needs outside.
In all his twenty years, never had he been so wrong in his life as today. Now he is finding out that the imbecile had been cheating on his mother way long before time.
"If you think I am lying, here are the records and my DNA test, plus my mother"s confession before she died," Hao Huizhong added, showing them the envelope containing all that he mentioned.
Ye Cheng did not say anything.. The shock on his face told of everything he wanted to say but dared not to.
