CHAPTER 494: CHAPTER 496

The next morning, Xia Xiao and Gao Jiaxing received the news as well. Although Hong Xing did not come to them directly, this was a golden opportunity, and one that could avenge Ge Lai, which Gao Jiaxing was particularly eager to involve himself in.

When family head Xia Xiao’s family went to visit the Fangs, they saw Ge Liang, who had already grown into a young boy.

Yet he was different from Ge Lai. Ge Liang had grown tall and strong, with fair skin, nurtured into a handsome young gentleman by the Fang family. On closer inspection, he still bore a resemblance to Ge Lai, but no one would probably notice even if Ge Liang went to the production team.

"Aunt Xiaoxiao," Ge Liang called out shyly upon seeing Xia Xiao.

Xia Xiao gave a slight smile, "I heard you’re in the first year of junior high. Study hard and aim to enter university just like your aunt and auntie."

"Yes, I want to enter university just like Aunt Xiaoxiao and Auntie," Ge Liang said with a resolute gaze.

"Good child," Xia Xiao nodded. If Ge Liang achieves great things in the future, Liu Haihua might regret her decisions.

At this moment, Gao Jiaxing and Fang Hui were discussing matters pertaining to the production team. With Wang Xueyong involved in such a serious issue, his safety could not be guaranteed here at the Fangs, nor could the Wangs protect Wang Xueyong.

Upon hearing Gao Jiaxing’s words, Fang Hui grew serious. He had received the news in the morning too, but it was different from what the Wangs had described.

Fang Hui looked towards Mr. Fang who frowned and said, "Wang Xueyong seemed alright when he was younger, how did he end up like this, getting involved in such foolishness?"

Gao Jiaxing left it at that, hinting no further.

The Fang family thought Gao Jiaxing was standing up for Gao Guihua, not knowing he was actually motivated by Ge Lai.

The conversation soon turned to Wang Xueyong and Liu Haihua at this juncture, asked by Mrs. Fang with Fang Hui giving a brief overview.

Xia Xiao observed Ge Liang, who showed no reaction, leading her to think that Ge Liang might have forgotten his childhood memories.

However, what Xia Xiao didn’t notice was Ge Liang’s abnormal behavior, unaware that he still remembered the happenings of his childhood, possibly because they were deeply ingrained, so much so that Ge Liang had not forgotten them even now.

Now, at the Fangs, Ge Liang considered himself part of the family and no longer paid attention to matters concerning the production team.

However, as soon as everyone mentioned Liu Haihua, Ge Liang’s eyelids drooped slightly, seemingly playing with Feiyang and Feiyue, but actually paying close attention to the news here.

Ge Liang had just learned that the man who abandoned him had fathered a son with Wang Xueyong, and that Wang Zhengping was his half-brother from the same mother.

Ge Liang was somewhat shocked, as the Fang’s and the Wangs lived not so far apart and there was frequent interaction; Ge Liang was familiar with Wang Zhengping.

This time, Ge Liang originally had little interest in Liu Haihua’s fate, but now he inexplicably wanted to know the outcome.

After Xia Xiao’s family had left, Ge Liang went to find Wang Zhengping. Meanwhile, due to Wang Xueyong’s predicament, the Wangs were in a state of chaos, with Mr. Wang furiously berating Mrs. Wang.

From the beginning to the end, Mr. Wang had been kept in the dark about the affair and was now furiously incensed.

Mrs. Wang did not dare to retort, and upon hearing that Liu Haihua was his mother, Wang Zhengping became excited and blurted out, "So my aunt is my mother, no wonder she has been so nice to me."

Mr. Wang, upon hearing this, rolled his eyes in exasperation and fiercely glared at his grandson, though he couldn’t bring himself to strike.

"Ge Liang, do you need something?" Mrs. Wang asked as he approached.

"Grandma Wang, is Zhengping here?" Ge Liang asked.

"Yes, are you looking for Zhengping?" Mrs. Wang sighed in relief, thinking it might be better to let Ge Liang take the grandson out to play for a while, as she and Mr. Wang were currently anxious about Wang Xueyong’s situation and couldn’t attend to their grandson.

In this manner, Ge Liang took Wang Zhengping away. He didn’t have any particular plans for Wang Zhengping but observed his facial features — his nose, eyes, eyebrows, mouth, forehead, and the shape of his face.

Ge Liang frowned. He didn’t resemble the Wangs much, nor could he see much resemblance to Liu Haihua.

Wang Zhengping was the first to speak, "Brother Ge Liang, can you take me to the production team?"

"What would you do there?" Ge Liang asked.

"I want to find my mom and dad," Wang Zhengping still longed for Wang Xueyong and Liu Haihua. Although his grandparents loved him, a child’s natural affinity for their parents was undeniable,

Not to mention that Wang Zhengping had been raised and taught by Liu Haihua, and he thought of her the most.

"You should talk to your grandparents. If they agree, I will take you there," Ge Liang said.

Wang Zhengping immediately ran towards his home, but unfortunately, by the time he returned, Mr. and Mrs. Wang had already left.

"My grandparents must have gone to the production team, Brother Ge Liang, please take me there," Wang Zhengping pleaded with Ge Liang.

"Alright," Ge Liang agreed.

Then he took a bicycle from home and rode with Wang Zhengping to the production team.

Now at the production team, the situation had escalated significantly, involving not just members with the surname Hong and Liu, but also Wang Xueyong and Liu Haiguo, and Liu Haihua’s troubles were not just a few.

Although Wang Xueyong and Liu Haiguo were not as involved as Liu Haihua, their situation wasn’t much better,

Hong Xing had waited a long time for this day and was not about to let it pass so easily; thus, he made sure the news spread,

The Wangs, even if they wanted to suppress the information, could not manage it.

There were even newspaper articles published, with journalists getting involved, and it had reached a point where the Wangs could not simply suppress the matter.

"I disown this son," Mr. Wang declared immediately, breaking ties with Wang Xueyong in an attempt to avoid implicating the whole Wang family.

Mrs. Wang cried out bitterly, cursing Mr. Wang for his ruthlessness. Mr. Wang retorted, "If you don’t sever ties with him, then don’t bother coming back."

Mr. Wang was furiously livid, and if Wang Xueyong weren’t his only son, he might have even considered killing him.

Liu Haihua took all the blame upon herself, claiming she had seduced Wang Xueyong and even intoxicated him, doing her best to absolve Wang Xueyong.

Upon seeing Liu Haihua, Wang Zhengping rushed forward, "Aunt, let go of my aunt, you can’t hit my aunt."

"Zhengping," Liu Haihua said, her eyes teary as she saw Wang Zhengping.

From a distance, Ge Liang watched this deeply emotional scene of mother and son, while Mr. and Mrs. Wang and Wang Xueyong looked on in shock as Wang Zhengping appeared.
