From Dusk till Dawn!

Chapter 427: Root of complications



Song Mansion. 

"Tianyi, why don't you understand? You are my son. My legitimate son. Not someone who is born out of some affair," The past few days has been exhausting for Grandpa Song while he tried to prove himself innocent in front of his son. 

Grandpa Tang stroked his beard, "Look at that face of his. He obviously believes the truth but he is not ready to accept it. He is not ready to accept that all these years, what he thought was the truth of his life turned out to be the biggest lie, more like a joke," The old fox was not even a little soft with his words. 

Song Tianyi stood up from the bed, "Can you both drop your facades? It disgusts me. You call yourself my father..?" Grandpa Song frowned as the man continued, "Since when did you become eligible to be my father? You both are acting so wise and mighty when in truth you are nothing but inhumane b-"

'Pak'

Song Tianyu who was standing silently till this point slapped his brother with all his strength.

Song Tianyi's face wheeled to the side as he laughed derisively licking the hint of blood from the corner of his lips. 

Grandpa Song narrowed his eyes at Song Tianyu. 

The man stood there nonchalantly, "He has forgotten his manners after staying away from the family for years."

"Tsk~ Manners, royalty, elegance, such damned sophistry is not in my dictionary, my dear brother," Song Tianyi smirked, "Not when my mother was used by both of them. They used her like a fucking toy before discarding her like garbage. Our dear father was in a relationship with her yet he let his friend, your honorable father-in-law to fuck her."

A heavy silence lingered in the room as everyone stood rooted to their spot. 

Nobody reacted about the profanities he uttered as their focus remained on what he said. 

Disbelief was written all over Song Tianyu's face as he could not even bring himself to deny what his younger brother just said. He had heard the mention of this from both his father's and father-in-law's mouths. 

Grandpa Song and Grandpa Tang exchanged glances, "That vile woman!!" The words escaped their mouths at the same time. 

The Song brothers frowned, rendered speechless by the sudden outburst. Why was there no guilt in their voice? 

Was there a backstory? Song Tianyu wondered. 

"Did that witch of a mother not mention the full truth to you?" Grandpa Tang's beard trembled in fury, "That woman seduced your father and became his girlfriend. But your father was a flirtatious man..."

Grandpa Song pinched his friend's hand, "Mind your language, Cheng."

Grandpa Tang cleared his throat, "At that time, your father was not interested in commitments but that witch wanted to establish her foothold in one of the royal families. So, she tried it on me when I was drunk."

"And you, as a hot-blooded youth, could not keep your thing in your pant and ended up sleeping with your friend's girlfriend. That was so humiliating for me," Grandpa Song snapped at the old man. 

"You haven't talked to me for years because of this. Don't mention it anymore," To tell the truth, he was guilty of it but what's done can't be undone. 

"Tang Cheng, you bastard, you are the root of all the problems," Grandpa Song snarled. 

Grandpa Tang folded the sleeves of his shirt, "Who are you calling a bastard, you moron?!"

Song Tianyi stood in his spot staring at nowhere blankly while Song Tianyu closed his eyes. 

These two elegant royals forget their age and character design when they start to fight.

...

Tang Li hung up the call as she leaned closer to Mo Yuhan. 

The man leaned back on the headrest of the bed, letting the woman's head fall on his lap. He covered her with a blanket as he glanced at her conflicted expressions, "What did Dad say?"

"Dad said...Wait, why are you calling him Dad?" She glanced at him. 

"What is yours is mine too," His eyes twinkled. 

She quickly covered her body, "Yuhan, you have gotten so devious. Is someone being a bad influence to you?"

"You," The man pointed his chin towards her, rendering her speechless. He chuckled, "Your dad is my dad too. That's what I meant but your corrupted mind got other ideas."

Tang Li rolled her eyes, "I'm sure you did not just mean that."

His gaze darkened as he fiddled with the front knot of her robe, "Of course, I didn't."

She held his hand, "Listen to what happened first."contemporary romance

"I'm listening," He pressed a kiss on the back of her hand before kissing her knuckles.

"Grandpa slept with Grandpa Song's girlfriend during their university days. And that lady is the root of all this complications."

Mo Yuhan frowned, "Continue."

"Uhh...I lack oxygen," Tang Li closed her eyes like a dead fish.

"Do you?" Mo Yuhan raised an eyebrow before kissing her lips, "Is this better now?"

"Yes," She smiled before continuing, "Apparently, she has somehow convinced my uncle that he is his mother and Grandpa Song's son but she was abandoned by him after she was taken advantage of. She has even said that Grandpa has molested her."

"Grandpa Tang? Molest?" Mo Yuhan pursed his lips. 

"Impossible," Both of them spoke up at the same time. 

Mo Yuhan was silent for a few seconds before speaking up, "It should be better to capture her and coercing her into telling the truth."

Tang Li sighed, "I had the same idea too. Until Dad told me that she is no more. Uncle has informed them about this," She paused for a moment before adding, "Both the Grandpas explained everything to uncle."

"Did he believe them?" 

"He said that he wants to stay alone," Tang Li bit her bottom lips, "That's what Dad told me. I think somewhere, he knows that this is the truth but he is not yet ready to accept it..."

"Lili," Mo Yuhan interrupted her.

"Mm?" She glanced at him. 

His gaze darkened, "Your lips look tempting," In a swift move, he picked her up from his lap and switched their positions, pinning her under him.

She raised an eyebrow, "I thought we were discussing serious matters."

"They can wait, don't you think so?" He leaned closer to her.
