The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart

Chapter 1403 - 1400: Rumors Have Long Been Spreading Outside

Sponsored

Rumors have long been circulating outside, causing extremely negative impact on their entire group. Over this period, there’s been significant loss not only in money but in various aspects as well. For Qiao Junlie’s reputation, it’s even worse. One could say his name was completely ruined overnight.

"Don’t let feelings for a woman damage the bond between brothers. Though Miss An is excellent, I’ve watched her grow up. Her relationship with both of you brothers is pretty good, but now..." Uncle Ye sighed regretfully, paused for a moment, and then slowly expressed his view, "It’s indeed a pity about Miss An, but luckily, Young Master is devoted to her with deep affection and love. To this day, he still loves only her. In the journey of emotions, three people together will surely lead to heartbreak. You’re such a smart person; don’t get confused! Ruining your future is a smaller matter, but hurting your brother’s heart is the most painful."

Qiao Muyun listened quietly, maintaining his usual silence. His parents passed away early, making Uncle Ye the most rightful person to speak these words. The meaning was already clear.

"Hmm. Uncle Ye, I know what I need to do." Qiao Muyun replied calmly. Looking at those bright eyes, his not-so-young face was lined with wrinkles, yet could not hide the mature wisdom of a middle-aged man. At this moment, Qiao Muyun had vaguely decided something within, speaking each word slowly, "I will go find him now."

"Alright. Go ahead. There’s no enmity between father and son that lasts overnight, and it’s the same for brothers." Uncle Ye said, and at the end, did not forget to add a sentence, "Master Qiao Muyun, he’s not in a good mood. If there’s any excessive words... you need to endure it."

"... Hmm." Qiao Muyun nodded slightly, responding.

Afterwards, he swiftly departed.

Watching Qiao Muyun’s disappearing silhouette, Uncle Ye was filled with countless emotions. Unable to resist, a barely visible trace of melancholy flashed in his eyes.

Qiao Junlie! My son... All I can do is just so much, hoping you can be stronger. Successfully overcoming these challenges.

Afraid to acknowledge you, yet always watching, guarding, and caring for you by your side, this is the father-son affection that cannot be severed!

It turns out, the past events had created today’s Qiao Junlie...

Qiao Junlie is not the legitimate bloodline of the Caesar Fei family, while by a twist of fate, Qiao Muyun is the bloodline left by the old man.

As for Qiao Junlie...

Uncle Ye’s real name is Ye Jin, and he has always been the manager of the Caesar Fei family. He was there since the era of Hao Jiangnan. However, at that time, they were young and impulsive, lacking much sense of responsibility and mission.

Hao Jiangnan at that time possessed a naturally charming character, having many romantic encounters even after marriage. And Qiao Junlie’s mother, Chiang Weier, was a gentle and skilled aristocratic lady with no worldly disputes. Perhaps because of her family background, Hao Jiangnan didn’t go too far, and his amorous affairs were always clandestine. Yet, even so, Chiang Weier was left to guard an empty room alone, sometimes inevitably feeling lonely, shedding tears of bitterness. With no one to talk to, Ye Jin accompanied her, and over time, became a confidant.

During a stormy night, upon hearing Chiang Weier’s sobbing again, Ye Jin could no longer hold back, and rushed into the room, seeing her gentle and pitiable beauty, which stirred compassion within him. He gently embraced her, and finally, things got out of hand...

Afterwards, their emotions grew rapidly, like unstoppable vines stretching upwards, aiming to pierce the sky...

However, until after Chiang Weier became pregnant, she once considered eloping with Ye Jin. But Ye Jin chose to shrink back. He wasn’t a person with a lot of cunning, and such an outcome was not something he wanted to bear, nor could he bear. The longer he stayed at Caesar Fei Manor, the more he understood, if this matter came to light, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Given Hao Jiangnan’s reputation and status, he wouldn’t be able to tolerate such a thing. At that time, the Hao family was actually in secret dealings with the American underworld, their relationship was quite delicate. Just based on this point, Ye Jin had a hundred brains and yet dared not reveal this matter. He had to endure.

Until Qiao Junlie was born, after Chiang Weier gave birth, her health had been poor, and not long after, she passed away. This secret was known to no one but himself.

Like a movie scene that never happened, those days that once veered off track returned to normalcy.

Afterwards, Qiao Muyun was brought to Qiao Junlie’s side. Master Hao Jiangnan didn’t know all this, perhaps realizing some things upon his death. Actually, it can be said even earlier, since his wife’s passing, he never remarried. From this point of view, he still felt a deep remorse towards Chiang Weier, hence, left all inheritance rights to Qiao Junlie.

Finally, fate worked its wonders, delivering an unexpected result.

His own biological son, Qiao Junlie, actually became the successor to Caesar Fei Manor. But every day watching him grow up right before his eyes, that pain of not being able to acknowledge kinship is tearing at his nerves. This is probably a feeling only someone who is a parent could understand.

There’s no choice but to endure, for his son, for his reputation and promising future that is bright as the sun. He cannot do anything that would ruin his reputation. However, he is also very gratified, Qiao Junlie is truly a dragon among men. Under his management, the assets of Caesar Fei Manor have multiplied several times over...

Though occasionally, in pursuit of success, Qiao Junlie’s methods are somewhat despicable. But isn’t this also the result of the influence subtly exerted by Hao Jiangnan and himself?

Oh, didn’t expect this time...

It was a blow Qiao Junlie had never experienced before. How could Ye Jin be indifferent, how could he eat comfortably?

No matter what, he won’t allow anyone to harm his own biological child. Since Qiao Junlie wants that woman, he must try his best to fulfill his desire. Thus, he is biased between Qiao Muyun and Qiao Junlie.

Qiao Muyun, don’t blame Uncle Ye. Uncle Ye is also doing it for your own good.

Ye Jin stood in the grand hall, the splendid chandelier casting specks of light onto the shining marble, reflecting a mesmerizing elegance. He paced back and forth a few steps, crossed one arm over his chest, his hand supporting his cheek, his seasoned gaze steady, showing a look of deep contemplation. Seeming to be pondering something.

...

Caesar Building

The reception desk on the first floor still had someone on duty. Hearing footsteps, that person was startled, wondering who could come at such an hour, lifting her eyes to see, uh, it was Second Master Qiao Muyun?!

This was truly an unprecedented event. Second Master Qiao Muyun would never come here. Yet today... and in the middle of the night...

She couldn’t afford to think too much. Qiao Muyun had already reached her.𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
