Chapter 475: Chapter 475: He’s Actually Been Made a Fool Of

"Okay, thank you for the trouble."

"No trouble, don’t mention it!" He smiled slightly, his smile carrying a hint of ingratiation.

If he didn’t ingratiate himself with the mother and son at this moment, he’d have an even more miserable death later.

Rong Shaoze didn’t follow them. Tao Hua had someone settle them and came up to him, staring at him, scrutinizingly asking, "Hey, what the hell did you do? Don’t tell me it was a one-night stand with Lin Xinlan."

Rong Shaoze frowned slightly, "Are there really such coincidences in this world?"

"Then how do you explain the child’s existence?"

"Hmph, if that were the case, I definitely wouldn’t forget her. With her obstinate temperament, if I had done anything to her, it would be odd if she didn’t kill me..." The man suddenly paused, as if something had just occurred to him.

Tao Hua knew there was a lead when he saw his reaction.

"Remember something?"

He narrowed his eyes, looking at him coldly, "What did you say earlier? You and Xu Yao were just joking? You teamed up to deceive me, didn’t you?"

Tao Hua was taken aback; this leap in his thinking was too drastic. How did the conversation suddenly jump to this?

Feeling guilty inside, but with a calm exterior, he smiled slightly, "Don’t get worked up, we just wanted some entertainment. You know life can be boring, and sometimes you need a bit of spice to make it interesting. It was just a harmless joke, nothing atrocious. Considering our brotherhood, let’s not make a big deal out of it."

Rong Shaoze chuckled, Tao Hua also laughed.

"Then tell me, what was the joke?"

Tao Hua could tell he was concealing a threat behind his laughter; he calmly said, "It’s just getting Xu Yao to lie to you that Lin Xinlan is adamant about marrying Qiao Yiyang and refuses to leave with him. Just that, nothing serious. I’ve told Xu Yao not to take the joke too far. If he does, I don’t mind if you give him a beating—he really does ask for it!"

Rong Shaoze’s laugh was ambiguous, "You guys must’ve known about my child for a while, right? Why didn’t you tell me?"

The man was so angry he wanted to curse.

If they had told him earlier, he wouldn’t have lashed out at the kid just now!

If he hadn’t lashed out at the kid, Lin Xinlan wouldn’t have slapped him and been angry with him!

Tao Hua hurriedly clarified the facts, "I swear, I did ask if you wanted to hear some good news, but you didn’t want to listen. If you had, I would’ve told you that you have a son."

"...And?"

"That’s it, just that!" Tao Hua shook his head firmly, his face the picture of sincerity.

"Just that?" Rong Shaoze’s laughter grew more dangerous—he clearly didn’t believe what he was saying.

When the two of them conspired against someone, they never held back.

Fine, they had actually dared to play a trick on him this time; he’d see how to deal with them!

Tao Hua considered it for a moment, then revealed a bit more, "There’s one more thing, as you already know. It’s keeping from you the fact that Lin Xinlan was getting married, only telling you when the wedding was about to happen, just to see your anxious look."

"And then?"

"Then? That’s it, for real."

"Let’s go, come practice with me. It’s been a while since we’ve moved our muscles," Rong Shaoze said affably as he put his arm around his shoulder, leading him outside without room for refusal.

Tao Hua quickly begged for mercy, "I’m telling you, I’m telling you, isn’t that enough? But after I tell you, you’re not allowed to hit me."
