Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Roll Back to Me

Ye Xinluo thought about it and felt that what she said was not without reason. So she nodded and said, "I hope so."

"Hmm, let’s wait for Jingxi to come home," Lan Shan said with a comforting smile. "But before Jingxi returns, you need to take good care of your health."

After saying this, she reached out and turned off the bedside lamp.

"If you don’t want Jingxi to see you upset when she returns, then be a good girl and go to sleep."

Lan Shan’s voice echoed in the darkness. Although she comforted Xinluo, telling her to rest early, she knew in her heart that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

...

In the villa on the mountainside. An elderly man sat in the office chair of the study. He held the information he had ordered someone to investigate that afternoon, his slightly aged hand gripping the corner of the file tightly.

He stared at the contents of the file for about ten seconds. Then he put down the file and picked up the phone beside him.

His fingers swiped across the screen a few times, finally pausing on a name for quite a while before dialing.

Beichen Rui had finished a day’s work, and on the way back to the hotel with Mo Han, the phone in his pocket rang. He fished the phone out of his pocket, and seeing the caller ID, his eyebrows knitted together.

He swiped the screen to answer.

"Grandfather."

As soon as the call connected, Beichen Jue’s voice came from the other end, "When are you coming home?"

Beichen Rui hadn’t expected his grandfather to call suddenly, and to ask when he would be coming back. He was slightly dazed.

If it were in the past, no matter where he went on business, his grandfather wouldn’t have cared, but this time.....

So he spoke calmly, "Grandfather, my work here isn’t finished yet. I’ll probably need another two days to come back." Although he didn’t understand why his grandfather suddenly called him, he decided to be honest.

Upon hearing him say it would take another two days to come home, Beichen Jue’s temper flared immediately, and his tone was downright unpleasant, "I don’t care what you’re busy with over there, now, immediately, get yourself back here."

Thinking of the things his grandson had hidden from him, his heart filled with nameless anger that he couldn’t express. If that brat were in front of him now, he might not be able to resist giving him a beating.

Beichen Rui was bewildered by his grandfather’s scolding, and he suspiciously pulled the phone away to take a look.

No mistake—why was grandfather so angry today? Normally his temper was bad, but not to this extent.

And he hadn’t even figured out what was going on before getting such a scolding—did someone upset him?

"Grandfather, did something happen?"

He asked, somewhat puzzled. Originally exhausted from a day’s meetings, his grandfather’s call had instantly woken Beichen Rui up. He worried there might be a major issue at home, concerned for his grandfather’s well-being.

"You brat, let me ask you, am I still your grandfather?" Beichen Jue’s voice rose again, still fiery with anger.

This question left Beichen Rui even more confused. With a helpless laugh, he said, "Grandfather, what are you talking about? Tell me if something has happened at home."

Beichen Jue snorted coldly. "I see you don’t care about this old man at all. You still call me your grandfather, yet you’ve hidden this from me for so long."

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, who knows how much longer he would’ve been kept in the dark.

"Let me ask you, do you have a woman outside?"

Huh?

Beichen Rui was taken aback, completely bewildered by the question. How come he couldn’t understand any of this? The topic had shifted so abruptly, and what did it have to do with what they were discussing?

"Grandfather, I don’t understand what you mean."

"Don’t play dumb with me, just tell me honestly, do you have a woman outside?"

Beichen Rui felt increasingly as if he couldn’t understand what his grandfather was talking about, rubbing his forehead in frustration. "Grandfather, no."

He answered firmly.

He was sure he didn’t have any woman outside. He was always particular about cleanliness and didn’t like women getting too close to him.

Suddenly, as if recalling something, the image of a woman’s face flashed in his mind. If there really was a woman, would [she] count?

"Grandfather, what exactly happened at home?"

This time, Beichen Jue had no patience to continue talking, snorting coldly before hanging up after leaving a sentence, "You’ll know when you get back."

Leaving Beichen Rui completely baffled. Staring at the disconnected call, a large question mark popped up in his mind.

Mo Han, who was driving, saw his grim expression after the call ended and asked worriedly, "Did something happen?"

Beichen Rui didn’t answer right away.

He himself didn’t know what had happened; his grandfather was acting too strangely today. Something must have happened at home, otherwise there’d be no reason for him to call so urgently.

So he spoke to Mo Han, who was driving, "Book me a flight to Z City for tomorrow morning." He had to go back and see for himself.

Mo Han was taken aback, asking, "Did something happen at home? And, there’s an important meeting you need to attend tomorrow afternoon."

"You stay here and handle the affairs. I must go back first."

Seeing him insist, Mo Han couldn’t argue further and nodded in agreement. "Okay, I’ll book the ticket for you right away."

When they returned to the hotel, Beichen Rui took a quick shower, then packed his belongings into a suitcase.

Lying on the bed, he pondered over the things his grandfather had said during the call.

His grandfather always emphasized the importance of handling company matters properly before relaxing, yet what on earth had happened this time?

His grandfather was urging him to hurry back, ignoring work completely. This really didn’t fit with his usual behavior.

No matter how long he thought about it, he couldn’t figure it out, and finally decided not to dwell on it, turning off the lights to sleep. He’d find out what was going on once he got back.

Beichen Rui would never have guessed the big surprise awaiting him at home, but that is a story for another time.

.....

After hanging up the phone, Beichen Jue sat in the leather chair, holding a child’s photo in his hand. This was a photo uncovered during the investigation.

The little boy in the photo was sitting on a swing, smiling happily. As he gazed at the boy’s appearance, a strange emotion flickered in his eyes.

Anyone who hadn’t seen Beichen Rui as a child wouldn’t notice anything, but he had watched Beichen Rui grow up, so when he saw the little boy that afternoon, he could almost discern it immediately.

The little boy in the photo looked exactly like Beichen Rui did when he was young.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it. Even after calling Beichen Rui, that brat outright denied it.

The old man was so furious he wanted to curse. Later, he reconsidered and decided to wait until Beichen Rui returned to confront him in person.

After all, with evidence in hand, he didn’t believe that brat could continue to deny it.
