Chapter 1010: Thank You, Dad!
The more Zhai Yanjun thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible. Knowing how sweet his Ayi was, it wouldn't be surprising that she actually fell into someone's trap. Now, the question was who schemed against her? This was an important question.
He really felt like a bad son for even having this idea but it kept nagging him that somehow his mother was involved in this scheme.
But then he looked at his father thoughtfully and frowned. If she really was involved then... How come she actually threw her own husband into the mix? It was a little difficult for him to believe for a moment. At one point, he had seen his mother's obsession with his father. It was a very unhealthy obsession and he always found it disgusting.
"What are you thinking about?" Asked Zhai Kuijun as he noticed the way his son was looking at him.
"Nothing, I just have this feeling that Ayi fell into someone's trap but I can't think about anyone who would have such a big grudge against her. I don't think she made enemies in life."
Zhai Kuijun also thought about it and felt that it was right. "But... Ah-Yue really has no enemies. If I have to think about someone who hates her with a passion then it's only..." He didn't continue. No matter how much he hated Yue Lan now, he couldn't just push the blame on her without any evidence, and that too in front of their own son.
He couldn't just make his son hate his mother. Well, at least he didn't want to add oil to the fire of hatred that already burned in Zhai Yanjun. He wasn't exactly oblivious to how much his son disliked Yue Lan.
"You don't have to avoid talking about it," said Zhai Yanjun seeing his father's deliberate pause. "I also thought of her. But I don't think she'd go as far as to involve you in her scheme to tarnish Ayi's reputation."
Zhai Kuijun couldn't argue with that since he also felt that was unlikely.
"It could be your enemies too," Zhai Yanjun pointed out as he looked at his father.
"My enemies?" Questioned Zhai Kuijun in confusion.
Zhai Yanjun gave his father a smile that wasn't a smile. "What? Do you think you also have no enemies? Are you as sweet as my Ayi or as nice as she is? It's difficult to hate her. You are pretty easy to get on people's nerves."
Zhai Kuijun glared at his son, "Is that something you should be saying about your own father?"
"Or else? Am I supposed to say this about my neighbor's father? Sadly, I don't know my neighbor's father so I have no right to judge him at all. You on the other hand are someone I know way too well."
Zhai Kuijun takes at him. "Why can't you be a bit cute?"
Zhai Yanjun suddenly laughed out loud.
"What? What happened? Why are you laughing? What's so funny? Have you lost your mind?"
Zhai Yanjun wiped tears from the corner of his eyes that came out from laughing so hard as he said, "I'm just thinking, dad, you always wanted a cute son and you now have gotten your wish. Fai is pretty adorable."
Zhai Kuijun was stunned to hear that and didn't respond for a while as he stared at Zhai Yanjun in silence.
"You seem oddly calm about this matter," said Zhai Kuijun. "It's not settling well with me at all. Can you be a little normal? If there was another person who found out his father had another son out there, that person would be..." He couldn't find the words that he could say right now. "Well, anyways, that person wouldn't be as calm as you. Do you not care at all? Are you that indifferent to your dad's matters now?"
"When the first time I asked you to get a divorce and you refused, I told you I won't be caring about your matters anymore."
Zhai Kuijun suddenly recalled those words and was at a loss.
"But right now, I'm not actually indifferent," said Zhai Yanjun. "For the first time in my life, I feel like you've done something right by donating your sperm that brought Fai into this world. So, thank you, dad!"
For the first time in his life, Zhai Kuijun also felt like beating his own son. Was this really his own son? What the hell was he even talking about right now? Who talks like that to their father?
He managed to escape a stroke when he learned about the deepest and darkest secret of his life but right now, he felt like his blood pressure was shooting up all because of this son of his.
He thought it'd be a heartbreaking and very heavy discussion but Zhai Yanjun wasn't following the script!!!
"I didn't donate a sperm!"
"Technically, you did," responded Zhai Yanjun. "You can't claim to be someone's father just because you gave your..."
Zhai Kuijun put his hand on Zhai Yanjun's mouth preventing him from saying that word again. It was really getting on his nerve now. He didn't know whether he had enemies or not, but he was certain his son provoked a lot of people with that mouth of his. Why did he always assume that his son was a quiet person?
Actually, he wasn't wrong. Zhai Yanjun was really a quiet person. It was the fever of love that changed him. Oh, a person infected with the virus of love could never be the same again. And currently, Zhai Yanjun's infection was at the terminal stage! How could he ever be the same again?
"Son, I'm already frustrated and worried. Can you stop giving me a hard time here?" Zhai Kuijun really seemed to be pleading with his son now because he couldn't continue this argument at all. Just because Zhai Yanjun didn't react, did not mean everything was fine.
He was quite clear about where he stood in Hyson's life. It'd be right to say that he was almost invisible in Hyson's life. This thought was really making him uncomfortable again.
