Chapter 298: Chapter 226: A Day Without wreaking havoc (Third Update) _1

In the car at this moment.

Upon hearing Mu Lin’s words, Hong Boyuan had his first taste of Mu Lin’s "dark" sense of humor. His expression was nothing but a picture of utter misery.

Mu Lin, I don’t think I’ve offended you, have I?

Why are you treating me like this...?

Hong Boyuan had no idea that all of this was just... Mu Lin’s twisted sense of fun. After all, he had brought this on himself by his previous behavior.

The more scared Hong Boyuan appeared, the more it invigorated Mu Lin’s amusement. She even managed to add a bit of dramatic flair, making the event even more entertaining.

Indeed, when Mu Lin spoke, Hong Mingsheng naturally turned his gaze to the passenger seat.

The window of the car was wound up, so one couldn’t see the situation inside. At most, the silhouette of the occupant inside was visible.

At this point, Hong Mingsheng didn’t overthink it. He guessed that perhaps Mu Lin had brought along a friend, never suspecting that the individual inside could be his own wayward son.

If he had known, he would have undoubtedly dragged the young man out of the car by now.

"It seems that he was frightened by the commotion outside, that’s why he doesn’t dare to come out," Mu Lin suggested with a wry smile while looking at Hong Mingsheng. She was clearly revelling in the situation.

Hong Mingsheng responded with a faint smile, choosing not to say anything more. He patiently waited for the person in the car to come out voluntarily; after all, if they weren’t willing to exit, he couldn’t simply drag them out in front of Mu Lin.

Mu Lin contemplated the shadowy figure in the car, the corners of her lips curling in delight, "Or, shall we get Mr. Hong out to welcome you personally? How about it?" She was eager to see how things would unfold.

Hearing Mu Lin’s suggestion, Hong Mingsheng was puzzled but didn’t feel anything particular about it. He just replied, "I don’t mind." He was more concerned about the reaction of the person inside the car.

Admittedly, there weren’t many people in all of Ming City who could command such an honor of being personally received by Hong Mingsheng.

Of course, Mu Lin was certainly one of them.

As for Mu Lin’s friend... On account of Mu Lin, Hong Mingsheng wouldn’t dwell on it too much.

But, upon hearing Hong Mingsheng’s response, Hong Boyuan was shocked.

Letting his dad open the car door to personally greet him... What on earth was going on?

As a son, how could he possibly allow his father to open the car door for him, let alone personally greet... He was lucky to be alive if he didn’t get beaten for such insolence.

"There’s no need, I can get out by myself." Sobbing... What grudges could there be between them? Why was he being tormented this way? Hong Boyuan truly felt like crying.

Hearing the voice, Hong Mingsheng outside furrowed his brows in confusion.

Why did the voice sound so familiar? It felt as though he had heard it somewhere.

However, when the car door opened, and someone emerged from the car, Hong Mingsheng’s originally serious face turned utterly black in an instant, amidst Mu Lin’s chuckling.

This bloody troublemaker!

A good beating would definitely be in order tomorrow!

...

"Dad." Standing in front of Hong Mingsheng, the energy that had been evident in front of Mu Lin had already vanished.

"How did you end up in this car?" Hong Mingsheng asked sternly, his voice filled with anger as he gazed at his son, Hong Boyuan.

At this time, he wasn’t worried about anything else. He was just concerned that this fearless son in the car might have offended Mu Lin. If that was the case, he would definitely beat his son to death.

Hong Mingsheng could tell that Mu Lin had deliberately made him aware that this rascal was also in the car.

Frankly, Hong Mingsheng had no idea what Mu Lin was thinking.

Whether she hoped for him to discipline this rascal, or if there was any other reason...

Hong Boyuan shrank his neck, "I was at the hotel last night, too. I happened to bump into Mu Lin when I was leaving. Manager Jin said she came to check up on Grandpa, so I joined them on the ride back." He was telling the truth, albeit not entirely.

He glanced surreptitiously at Mu Lin, taking in her light, easy smile. Hong Boyuan declared, this smile was poisonous! Extremely poisonous! He decided he would stay well clear of her in the future.

Sobbing... Once again, what enmity could exist between them...

Hearing Hong Boyuan’s explanation, Hong Mingsheng was furious, "You were out messing around again last night when your grandfather is not well. It’s finally the weekend, and you couldn’t spend it with him; do you not realize you almost didn’t get to see him today?" The outburst left him seething.
