Chapter 1511 - 1523: President Daddy, Where Are You Running? (14)
Today’s matters have finally entered the main topic.
Mu Zhuoming was actually just expressing a certain emotion of his current self, and in reality, he didn’t need an answer from the other party.
His hands moved swiftly, skimming the pages quickly. In the shortest amount of time, he drew the most likely conclusion: "Are they my children?"
When he turned to the last page, which contained information about Bai Tuanzi’s mother, Bai Lu Yue, it mentioned that she and Mu Zhuoming had appeared at a certain hotel one after the other.
Mu Zhuoming’s pupils instantly constricted, and he subconsciously glanced at Su Li.
The only inappropriate act during marriage was that one time five years ago, and he had thought of it since then, but the sudden change in the Su Family’s behavior left him with no time to worry about other things.
At this moment, Bai Lu Yue’s delicate face slowly overlapped with the figure from that night.
"Let’s bring them back temporarily for a paternity test." Although he had already made up his mind, Mu Zhuoming did not show any emotion, seemingly cautious.
Liao Jinxiang: "Zhuo Ming, don’t you believe that they are your children? Look, they look so much like you."
The mischievous soul within Su Li suddenly burned, "They might not necessarily be sons or daughters; maybe they’re siblings."
Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and they all turned their attention to Mu Jiebang, who was still lying on the sofa.
Come to think of it, it does make sense.
It’s quite normal for siblings to look alike.
Mu Jiebang was overwhelmed inside; the stain on him today couldn’t be wiped away, could it?
Liao Jinxiang finally reacted slowly; compared to her workaholic son, obviously the credit of the old man she shared a bed with for decades was much lower.
The more you think about such things, the more likely they seem.
If the previous excitement and joy were great, Liao Jinxiang’s anger and agitation now were equally immense.
Even the white and innocent Bai Tuanzi became unsightly little brats.
The original harmonious relationship between the old couple was about to turn into a bloody family ethics tragedy...
Mu Zhuoming: "Dad shouldn’t have that ability."
If he truly had extraordinary talents, he wouldn’t have had only one son all these years.
Mu Zhuoming indirectly admitted that the person with extraordinary talents was himself.
But the last thing a man wants is to be told he’s incapable. Like a fish, Mu Jiebang bounced up with a flush and shouted, "Who are you saying doesn’t have that ability?"
Su Li covered her face, too embarrassed to look.
What an idiot～
Liao Jinxiang shrieked in furious anger, scratching and clawing at Mu Jiebang with her long nails.
The little boat of harmonious spousal affection turned over just like that, breaking with the slightest breeze.
Mu Zhuoming was so angered by his parents’ stupidity that both nostrils flared, pulling them apart with one hand each, and couldn’t help but roar, "The kids should be mine; that woman was intimate with me for a night."
After saying this, Mu Zhuoming felt a weight like a gigantic stone on his heart, too afraid to look back at his wife’s expression.
Funny enough, he was somewhat scared to see sadness and hurt on Su Li’s face.
Perhaps his notion of this wife wasn’t what he thought it was.
Liao Jinxiang and Mu Jiebang stared blankly at their son, but soon their gaze turned viciously malicious towards Su Li.
Mu Jiebang finally, belatedly, understood: this must be the daughter-in-law’s revenge.
Even so, the Mu Family’s bloodline must never stray outside. If the daughter-in-law behaves herself, acknowledges the children, she might maintain some dignity, otherwise...
Mu Jiebang squinted, his eyes full of calculating gleam.
Liao Jinxiang tidied her disheveled hair, presenting herself as the elder, as if speaking earnestly but actually warning and mocking Su Li: "Su Li, we know there was an agreement when Jiebang married you, but all this was unintentional, predestined by fate... If you truly love Zhuo Ming, you wouldn’t oppose bringing those children back, right?"
"Actually, bringing those kids back would be good, putting them under your name, calling you their aunt. Zhuo Ming’s children would naturally be yours too."
Hearing Liao Jinxiang say this, Mu Zhuoming wanted to say something, but hesitated for a while, ultimately choosing silence.
Seeing his wife with her head lowered, Mu Zhuoming felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Although he felt indifferent toward those children, they did carry his bloodline, and must not be left outside.
In the past, he truly didn’t care whether he had children or not, but knowing now that he had blood-related children, the stirring in his veins was a new, undeniable feeling, making it impossible to refuse his parents’ proposal.
He’d have to explain to Su Li later.
Liao Jinxiang thought Su Li’s lowered head was futile passive resistance, her face immediately darkened, preparing to scold the daughter-in-law’s lack of tact.
She didn’t expect that before her anger could explode, Su Li suddenly lifted her head, asking softly: "So, the Mu Family’s bloodline absolutely can’t stray outside?"
"That’s right," Liao Jinxiang said resolutely.
Mu Zhuoming pinched the bridge of his nose and, for once, sighed, "Ah Lee, I hope you can understand me."
Su Li clapped her left hand against her right fist, saying with glee, "I can, of course I can."
"Alright then, let them all have a paternity test. If they’re all the Mu Family’s blood, they naturally all have to return to the family."
Mu Zhuoming: "...."
The old couple of the Mu Family exchanged a glance, conveying an idea: could the daughter-in-law be too stimulated, going crazy?
Mu Zhuoming scrutinized Su Li with an x-ray vision-like gaze, trying to penetrate her true thoughts.
Mu Zhuoming, rarely softened, organized his words wanting to persuade, "Ah Lee, there’s no need for this...."
Su Li: "There is, there is, there’s every need."
"Zhuo Ming, you must not favor one over the other in the future."
Mu Zhuoming quickly agreed, "Of course."
Seeing Mu Zhuoming’s look, Su Li knew he misunderstood. His understanding of favoritism is completely different from what she meant.
Mu Zhuoming assumed Su Li compromised, immediately promising: "You are Mrs. Mu; no one can surpass you."
Su Li smiled, intentionally leaving Mu Zhuoming’s misconception uncorrected, simply saying, "That’s good."
Anyway, he’ll understand it afterward.

At nine that evening, many people’s phones received a mass text message.
"Mu Group’s President Mu Zhuoming has assets worth billions. Tomorrow at nine, a paternity test verification will take place at Mu Mansion. According to Hua Country’s imperial law, all children are entitled to equal asset distribution. Interested parties, please bring your children to participate on time tomorrow."
