Chapter 257 - The Child's Father
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Was he really that child's biological father?
Li Qin was overwhelmed. She surveyed the god-like, beautiful man before her.
A handmade blouse by Armani, well-made slim-fit trousers, expensive leather shoes, and luxury wristwatch…
Different from those nouveaux riches' unsophisticated looks, this man exuded the air of true nobility. With one look, anybody could tell that he was born rich; he was wealthy and respectable!
She was so astonished her eyes nearly popped out!
She knew that Yun Tianyou's biological father was wealthy. A simple nouveau riche could not afford that generous remuneration, after all.
However, she did not expect that the employer would be this good-looking, and he even appeared to be very young at about 25 or 26 years of age. Could he still be… single?
If this were so, she slightly regretted it!
If she had known of this beforehand, then, back then… had she not gone easy with Yun Shishi?
She formed fists with her hands. A flame of jealousy suddenly ignited within her heart.
Because of Yun Yecheng's business back then, he was on good terms with the vice president of the private hospital that belonged to Disheng Financial Group. She followed this lead and found out from the vice president that the Mu family was secretly searching for a surrogate mother. Although the conditions were stringent, the remuneration they offered was very generous.
Thus, she cast her sight on her adopted daughter.
At that time, her adopted daughter was at a blooming age of 18; with her good looks, she grew up beautifully - her features were just outstanding.
Hence, after pressuring her again and again, she eventually accompanied her to sign that contract.
Thinking that the employer was an ugly and plump middle-aged man, she gloated endlessly. Just the thought of this most-hated b*tch being ruined by an ugly and ferocious man left her absolutely thrilled.
However, now that she saw him, it was certainly a tight slap to her face!
If she had known about this earlier, would it not have been better to let Yun Na try first?
Perhaps, if this child were to be a little more competent, she could rise in status and become the Mu family's young mistress!
When that time came, she would not suffer and worry like this anymore!
The others in the ward were also astonished.
They had never seen such a handsome man before. That face, which seemed to be carved by a knife, exuberated with hostility; he somehow gave off a golden light from head to toe. His every movement had a distinctive air of nobility.
Mu Yazhe walked over to Yun Shishi, who was standing by the bed, and reached out his hand to tussle her hair.
"Why didn't you wait for me, hmm?"
He looked down at her with such gentleness in his eyes that could melt snow.
Yun Shishi's frozen heart gradually thawed as a corollary.
She was not used to the man being gentle to her!
"I…"
"I went to park the car, so I came in late."
She spoke softly, "It's okay."
"Did you get hurt when I'm not around?"
She hesitated to speak. He lifted his gaze, and his face suddenly darkened. "I was just at the door. I think I heard somebody calling you a mistress."
He raised his eyes and emotionlessly scanned the hospital ward once before laying his sight on a few other patients' family members. Looking at them with piercing eyes, he asked in a monotonous tone, "Who said that?"
He spouted these three words casually and flatly, but reading between the lines, one could tell that it was filled with unhappiness.
He gave off a chilling aura; if someone were to stand beside him, they would be hurt by it.
All of a sudden, the crowd, previously chattering among themselves, was now dead silent.
