Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was already late at night, and the Dongfang old residence, shrouded in a dim light, was exceptionally quiet. Especially when the cold wind blew past, the shadow of the lamp swayed, and the figure that fell to the ground looked somewhat desolate.

A series of knocks came from outside Dongfang Shuman’s study room, breaking the silence inside.

“Come in!”

Soon, an old voice was heard.

Dongfang Yi pushed the door open and walked in. He looked up and soon saw the old figure sitting behind the desk in front of him, with her back facing him.

“Mother, you were looking for me?”

Dongfang Yi walked forward and said respectfully.

“Yes, sit down!”

Dongfang Shuman quickly turned the chair around and pointed to the seat in front of him. She put an envelope on the desk and adjusted her glasses.

Dongfang Yi paused for a moment. For some reason, he had a bad premonition. However, he sat down uneasily.

“I called you here so late at night, so obviously there is something. Have the children gone to bed?”

Dongfang Shuman said calmly as she raised her hand to pour tea for Dongfang Yi. Dongfang Yi quickly took the teapot and said, “Mother is not feeling well. Let me do it.”

As he spoke, he poured tea into the two teacups at the side and moved one of them in front of Dongfang Shuman. Dongfang Shuman also took a sip and said, “Have you gone back to see your mother these days?”

As Dongfang Shuman spoke, her elite gaze swept over Dongfang Yi. That gaze was naturally very oppressive.

“I’ve been busy recently and don’t have the time to go back. Mother, you know my mother. Even if we go over, we might not be able to see her...”

“I don’t care what she does. Etiquette can not be abandoned. After all, she is your biological mother. I, Shuman, have only picked up two cheapskate sons. I’ve already asked Ah Cai to prepare some generous gifts. You two brothers should find some time to go back and visit her in the next two days. It’s also to prevent me from hearing any gossip.”

Before Dongfang Yi could finish his words, Dongfang Shuman had already interrupted him.

“Mother, she isn’t that polite to you. You don’t have to be like that. As a son, I understand you very well.”

Dongfang Yi actually did not have a good impression of his biological mother. After his mother remarried, she gave birth to a boy and a girl. To her, that pair of children was a treasure. In their mother’s eyes, he and Dongfang Ren were probably nothing, they were just being polite on the surface. Other people thought that their mother and son had a good relationship. If Dongfang Shuman had not asked them to visit frequently, he would not have been willing to go.

“That’s my business. I still have to do my part. As long as you do your part, it’s fine. After all, you’re her sons. The Dongfang family is strict. We still have to do what we should do. However, I hope that you can be mindful of the things that we shouldn’t do. Whoever slanders the Dongfang family and brings shame to the family will be making things difficult for our Dongfang family.”

Dongfang Shuman’s voice suddenly turned cold as she spoke.

“Mother, what are you saying...”

Dongfang Shuman threw the envelope in front of Dongfang Yi.

“Take a look for yourself. I thought that you were a decent person and that you would be more composed when doing things. However, look at the good son that you have raised! I also warned all of you back then that I wouldn’t care about your affairs outside. However, you have to handle your own affairs properly and don’t let others find any evidence against you. Now, it seems that all of you have turned a deaf ear to my words!”

Dongfang Shuman was very angry, and her cold and stern voice made Dongfang Yi feel a wave of panic!

He hurriedly took the envelope, poured out the things inside, and began to read—

He saw that the things inside were all pieces of...

They were all erotic photos of his son, Dongfang Yu, with those women. There was no need to describe the extent of those photos, they were practically naked. There were endless types of moves and women, and even he felt embarrassed when he saw them, however, he was completely dumbfounded!

“Mother, this...”

Dongfang Yi naturally knew about the things that his son had hidden under his elegant appearance. There were many things that he, as a father, had helped solve. But now, how did these things end up in Dongfang Shuman’s hands?

“Alright, don’t complain to me about being wronged. When I first got these things, I didn’t dare to believe it either. But the news from Ah Cai’s investigation proved these facts. If these things were to leak out, you know what the consequences would be.”

Dongfang Shuman’s tone was unusually sharp. “The reason I didn’t directly call Xiao Yu over is because I believe you can handle this matter well.”

“Mother, I... Xiao Yu, he’s still young and insensible... so... how did Mother get these photos?”

Dongfang Yi’s eyes darkened for a moment. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and put the photos back. After calming down for a moment, he forced himself to remain rational and asked.

“Don’t worry about how I got these things. I can only say that you and your son are considered lucky. If these things fell into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, things wouldn’t be so simple. The situation would be out of our control. You better give me a satisfactory answer to this matter.” Dongfang Shuman said coldly.

Hearing this, Dongfang Yi could not help but break out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly said, “Fortunately, Mother is smart. Don’t worry, I will definitely take care of this matter. Mother is everything here?”

“As far as I know, the negative has been deleted. This should be it. Of course, I can’t guarantee that. You can handle this matter yourself.”

“Yes! Mother, I will handle it well. Xiao Yu isn’t sensible. Mother, don’t blame him. I will definitely discipline him in the future!” Dongfang Yi said in a heavy tone.

“Mmm, I hope this won’t happen again. Otherwise, he won’t need to stay in the company anymore.”

“Yes! Mother, don’t worry. I promise that there won’t be a second time. I will definitely handle it properly.”

Dongfang Shuman nodded and waved at him. This time, Dongfang Yi took the envelope and left the study with a gloomy face.

...

“President Shu, if you let President Yi take the thing and leave just like that, wouldn’t that be...”

Dongfang Yi’s figure had just disappeared outside the door when Ah Cai, who was behind the bookshelf, also walked out and asked Dongfang Shuman with some doubts.

“What do you know? No matter how I handle this matter, it will cause them to be dissatisfied. It’s better to let Dongfang Yi solve it himself. Other than owing me this favor, he will also make this undercurrent even more ferocious. This is a good thing.”

Dongfang Shuman smiled coldly—
