"Why aren’t you greeting the numerous guests outside? Why did you call me over? What’s the matter?" Madam Bao turned her head, looking impatiently at her son. Housekeeper Liu had quietly retreated, leaving the mother and son alone. Madam Bao’s anger hadn’t subsided when a familiar voice reached her ears. Bao Shaojin’s voice wasn’t loud, but when listened to carefully, Madam Bao’s body froze. Seeing madam’s gloomy face, Bao Laosan couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable thrill in his heart. All these years, Bao Shaojin in madam’s eyes, was like the pride of the heavens, never having done anything remotely out of line. To the madam, Bao Shaojin was her pride and joy. Moreover, Bao Shaojin maintained a clean life. All these years, there wasn’t even a single female mosquito around him. Bao Laosan was puzzled by his nephew’s behavior. After all, he believed that the sensation of tender women was soul-stirring, something no man could resist. He had even suspected more than once that his nephew had some hidden illness? Now, having heard some unsavory things, Bao Laosan finally dismissed this thought from his mind. The silent corridor exuded an eerie atmosphere. Madam Bao leaned on her cane with one hand, her other hand gently supported by her son. Her dark eyes flickered, and she spoke in a low tone, "You asked me to come here just to hear this?" Madam Bao’s face was slightly calm, and her tone showed no emotional fluctuations. Bao Laosan couldn’t grasp what was on madam’s mind for the moment. "Mom, I just felt that Ah Jin would rather fool around with women than attend Ah Cheng’s engagement banquet. It’s somewhat unreasonable." Bao Laosan feigned an aggrieved face, expressing his grievance. What kind of person he was, how could the sharp Madam Bao not know? Madam Bao’s eyes deepened as she stared at her son, speaking sternly, "Ah Jin is just having some fun, not like you, failing to restrain yourself even after marriage. If it weren’t for me having Zhenxing clean up your messes, who knows how many of your illegitimate children might pop up in the Bao Family." Madam Bao shifted the topic to Bao Laosan, leaving him flustered. Bao Laosan, slow to react, didn’t notice the topic shifting. Hearing madam’s rebuke, he shamefully lowered his head, muttering in defense, "I was just playing along." As he spoke, he turned his head guiltily to the side. After all, the woman he recently pampered was present at his son’s engagement banquet. Imagining the woman’s coquettish figure and the distant sound of her sobbing, Bao Laosan’s desires were ignited, feeling unbearably hot all over. To conceal his crooked thoughts, he kept his head bowed, avoiding the occasional glance from madam. "Playing along?" Madam Bao almost scoffed through her nose, "Does the Bao Corporation’s dealings outside also need to play along?" Bao Laosan was rendered speechless by the retort. Just as Madam Bao was about to say something more, she heard shouting coming from a nearby bedroom. Both Madam Bao and Bao Laosan looked solemn. "Sob... let me go..." "Sob... Bao, Bao Shaojin..." The young girl’s sobbing was hoarse, with a hint of pleading, evoking pity. Bao Laosan sneakily raised his head, glancing toward the open bedroom ahead. If madam weren’t by his side, he would’ve gone up to peek at the scandalous scene involving his nephew. The weeping from the bedroom was truly heartbreaking. The young girl was clearly bullied to tears, almost losing her voice. Madam Bao’s deep eyes pierced through the corridor, a dark shade flickering in her gaze, "Why are you still standing there? Let’s go." With that, she turned and stepped toward the hall. Bao Laosan reluctantly supported the elder lady, cautiously speaking, "Mom, aren’t you going to do something about Ah Jin? Let him run wild?" Before Bao Laosan finished his sentence, Madam Bao shot him a warning glance. "In the future, don’t notify me of such matters." Madam Bao’s forehead, covered in wrinkles, furrowed even deeper. "Understood." Bao Laosan nodded dejectedly. He originally wanted the elder lady to see the reckless side of Bao Shaojin, but what happened? Trying to gain an advantage, he only ended up with more trouble. Since her arrival till her departure, madam had been scolding him, and the anger Bao Laosan suppressed grew more intense. Upon reaching the hall, Bao Laosan thought madam would leave with him to greet the guests in the front hall, but she promptly sat down on the sofa. "There are many guests downstairs. Go and attend to them!" Madam Bao instructed. Bao Laosan’s body shuddered, realizing madam was telling him to leave. "Mom, Ah Cheng and Su Family’s daughter are there. It’s fine if I don’t go." Bao Laosan quickly replied. Madam’s stance was clear — she waited for Bao Shaojin’s debacle following the incident, something Bao Laosan didn’t want to miss at all. On regular days, his nephew at Bao Corporation’s pressed him hard. Bao Laosan had nowhere to vent his grievances and could only endure. Now, having seized an opportunity highlighting the nephew’s mistake, how could Bao Laosan let it go? He was determined to witness madam reproaching his obnoxious nephew. Lost in thought, Bao Laosan heard madam raise her voice. Bao Laosan, startled, trembled slightly and took a few steps back, "Mom, calm down. I’m leaving now." He then hurriedly walked toward the door. "Let Zhenxing come in." Madam Bao instructed, looking at her incapable youngest son. Once Bao Laosan departed, Housekeeper Liu slowly approached from the entrance. Madam Bao merely glanced at him, her expression tinged with a touch of bewilderment, "Is he still the same Ah Jin I’ve painstakingly raised since childhood?" Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁 Madam Bao’s lament drifted into the silent air. "The Eldest Young Master is at a spirited age. Madam need not be overly restrictive." Madam Bao’s brows rose slightly, "If he were just playing like Ah Cheng, that would be fine!" Listening to Madam Bao’s words, Housekeeper Liu bowed his head, unsure of how to respond. Earlier, when guiding Madam Bao down the corridor, Housekeeper Liu had also heard those lingering, tantalizing sounds. Despite the faintness of the sounds coming from the bedroom, with his sharp senses, how could he not discern the voice’s owner. What he hadn’t expected was that the usually disciplined Eldest Young Master had become... Although no one saw the bedroom scene, the continuous sobbing of the young girl made everyone naturally presume the man was behaving viciously, bullying the young girl. With every passing minute, Madam Bao’s face darkened a shade. "In the past, he devoted all his energy to work. Those aristocratic women who tried to seduce him, did he ever pay them any mind?" Madam Bao turned her head, looking toward the direction of the long corridor behind her.
