Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Yating held his trembling hand in his palms and breathed hard. "Thank you…"

With Gu Rong's sincere and heartfelt words, there was no trace of doubt left in his heart anymore. There was no question of accepting each other either.

Gu Rong and Yating were father and son.

Nothing could amount to the gratitude that flooded his chest and equally the regret that in comparison, he did nothing for Gu Rong other than resisting his presence and decisions.

Yating also realized how Gu Rong would have felt when he mentioned that it would have been better if his mother was still around. Nothing could be more heartless than wishing for the presence of a woman that had betrayed everyone.

"I am sorry…I am sorry for saying that stupidity that day. I was being an idiot."

Gu Rong lightly shook his head. "It's not your fault. I…I always lacked to properly communicate. If I had been more vocal about my reasons than just bashing you then…it would have…been better…"

Butler Mo was continuously wiping his eyes as this was the moment he always waited for. He had urged Gu Rong multiple times in the past to be courageous and tell Yating the truth.

But Gu Rong rather chose for the misunderstandings to remain than facing the possibility of Yating hating him for killing Luo Liuxian.

Xiaosi smiled and patted Yating's shoulder. "I had told you, right? He loves you a lot. He literally dotes on you. Whenever the conversation is about you in all meetings and gatherings, he is very particular about calling you as my son. My son did this, my son did that.

His chest fills with so much pride."

Gu Rong's brow twitched heavily. "I don't do that…"

He chuckled. "You haven't realized it but everybody else has. You are nothing but just a doting father. People see flowers blooming around your head whenever it's about Yating."

His face flushed crimson with embarrassment. "Ridiculous!"

"We just talked about being honest and you are already stepping back," he shook his head.

My son…

Indescribable emotions swelled and swirled in his chest. Here Gu Rong did everything he could for him but what did he do in return?

"I have been just a troublesome son, right…?" A lump formed in his throat.

"Of course you were," Gu Rong blinked. "You are my son, after all. You are just like me. I hadn't been any less of a trouble to my parents either."

"..."

Xiaosi smiled. "Children are always troublesome. Parents get used to it."

"Heyyyy!!!"

Chyou, who felt unreasonably attacked, protested. "When was I ever troublesome? I have always been a very obedient daughter."

"I was talking about Xiang."

"Ah, then it's fine~ He is hopeless," she chirped and stuck out her tongue. "You are right. Sons always are such a handful."

"Achoo!"

Somewhere in the Zhu villa, Xiang sneezed.

Why do I feel that I was just dissed?

Caihong frowned. "Did you catch a cold?"

"No, I didn't-"

"You definitely ate lots of ice cream behind my back despite my warnings, didn't you?" She glared at him. "Really you know. Sons always are such a handful!"

"..."

Xiang lacked tears to shed.

I didn't even do anything! I am completely innocent!

Chyou narrowed her eyes at Duan Ren, who was now reduced to a practically feeble existence at this moment.

"Do you have anything to say or blame now, Miss. Duan?"

Duan Ren's expression soured. "You think it's so easy to believe him? Who knows if he is telling the truth? His dead wife was going through postpartum depression and this heartless man killed her! I would still say that he took advantage of her mental condition!"

Yating's gaze hardened. He peered at her with such iciness that the temperature dropped down in the ward.

"What advantage did he take when he decided for her to live with us? He could have easily divorced her back then. Who would blame him after her betrayal? He could have abandoned her after she tried to kill me the first time. But he didn't.

If you are talking about advantage, then he would have taken it ages ago to get rid of her. He was a good husband even in that situation. He wanted her to get healthy and still cared for her despite it hurting him miserably. He never left her alone even with what she did."

His teeth gritted against each other. "What more do you expect Dad to do!?"

Duan Ren gulped and stumbled back in fear. Yating had been polite until now but today, the ferocious blaze in his eyes was a different story.

Gu Rong felt his eyes tear up. Never had he imagined for the day to come when Yating would defend him. He was always afraid of him leaving his side after the reveal but never expected him to voice out for his sake.

Yating coldly said, "You can leave now. What you wanted is for me to know the truth, right? It's out now and I know everything. You aren't needed anymore so leave. And never…" his black orbs squinted with a deadly menace, "approach my father for money again. I will be handling Gu Corps anyway and I won't stand to see my father's hard-earned money get extorted away due to some lousy threats.

You took more than enough alimony as is. So you have nothing to do with Dad anymore."

He smiled unforgivingly. "I would appreciate it if you go back to your happy life with your husband and not bother my Dad again or I will make you face the consequences."

"Ahahahaha!" Chyou laughed hard. "That's how you do it~"

Duan Ren's jaw dropped in disbelief. "You…" she trembled, enraged. "Gu Rong! Is this how you have raised your son? Don't forget that I was there for him too before we separated!"

"He has raised me just fine. That was just a contract between you and Dad. Your love and care for me wasn't selfless. Selfless is…" his irises blurred with mistiness, "what Dad did. So don't even compare. Now my father has to rest.

So please leave. This is the last time I am telling you or I will call the security."
