Chapter 109 - Busybody (1/2)

Dexi was on his way to the office when his mother, Zhao Biyu, paid him a surprise visit.

”I'm really surprised to see you here” He said as he ushered her to sit.

”No need to sit. I'll go straight to the point since you're on your way to work.”

They both strode outside as she spoke ”There are eyes on this family now. I don't know what your sister was thinking when she allowed Weiyoung to take the mike last night. But we have to cover it up with something bigger.”

He stopped walking. She did also. ”It's their problem. Why do I have to help them cover it?”

”They're your family!” She scolded. ”Family should stick to each other” She said and took both his hands in hers and gazed at her son lovingly. ”Especially in times like this”

”Did you know what Sister Aida was planning?” He asked. Biyu nodded. All she wanted was for her family to be happy. Which included her children and grandchild. ”I know she wanted to make our family stronger by bonding with the Songs. But now that this has happened, I'm not sure there is anything she can do about it. We have to rely on you”

Dexi almost laughed at his mother's ignorance. 'Wanted to make the family stronger? I wish' ”So what do you want me to do?”

She smiled warmly at him. ”The girl that came with you last night.”

His eyes shone. Why was she asking about Sara all of a sudden?

”Is she your girlfriend or one of your flings? I sense you do like her.”

Dexi didn't say anything and only smiled slightly.

”Come on. You do not have to be shy.” She grinned widely at him ”She is really pretty. What family is she from?”

”Mother, I have to leave for the office now” He tried to evade her questions.

”But... I think she looks really familiar. Has she been to any of our occasion before?”

Dexi recalled his mother might have seen her that night at Jinyong's engagement. Things were really going to get messed up if she recognised her.

”Mother.. I really need to leave now. I'll see you another time” He kissed her on a cheek and left her there.

In his car, he thought back to last night. He couldn't understand why he couldn't get Sara when his useless nephew could do so. He knew his mother planned to cover Jinyong's scandal by asking him to introduce his girlfriend to the public. He sighed deeply then spoke to his secretary.

”Search for every detail about Wang Sara and send it to me as soon as possible”

Muchen used his hands to massage his temples. Of all days, Minde chose today to trouble his life.

”Why aren't you saying anything?” Minde asked worriedly.

”I need to work and you're distracting me” Muchen said.

”Come on, talk to me. I'm here for you”

Muchen looked at his expression and couldn't help laughing at his cheekiness. He finally focused on his cousin.

”What do you think is wrong?” Muchen asked.
