chapter 42
Forty-Two: “I See You as Nothing but a Waste”
After a bout of passion, Wu Xingcheng gently covered Mu Xinrou’s delicate body with the fluffy blanket beside him.
Looking at Mu Xinrou, who had fallen into a deep sleep, he smiled faintly, affectionately pinching her cheek.
“This guy, even if he’s asleep, is still so alluring, isn’t this just an excuse to continue committing crimes?”
Wu Xingcheng’s gaze swept over Mo Xu’er’s exposed long legs, and his sharp facial features relaxed slightly.
He took another blanket and covered Mo Xu’er’s legs, which were as enticing as water snakes. Wu Xingcheng suppressed his desires.
It seemed like he was thinking of something, and Wu Xingcheng gave Mo Xu’er a fleeting glance before leaving the bed and putting on pajamas to leave the room.
“Mr. Wu.”
As Wu Xingcheng stepped out of the room, the secretary, who had been waiting for a long time, approached him with a bow.
The corner of her eye inadvertently glanced at Wu Xingcheng’s exposed body, which was filled with explosive muscles.
His body, like steel, was still breathing evenly after the intense exercise earlier.
The scar on his waist, about 10 centimeters long, looked like a snake crawling up his body. It was almost across his vital organs.
It was evident that Wu Xingcheng’s past was not smooth sailing, and he had even come close to death.
The male hormones facing her made the secretary’s face slightly reddish, but she quickly regained her composure.
“This is the information you instructed me to look into earlier. It’s already been compiled.”
The secretary pushed her hair back and stood to the side, her legs crossed like a cypress tree.
In fact, the secretary’s figure was quite impressive, and her simple OL attire made her look elegant and refined.
Her makeup was subtle and not oily, making her a beautiful woman. However, compared to Mo Xu’er, she was indeed not as good-looking.
“Yes, efficiency is good. Thank you for your hard work.”
Wu Xingcheng spoke in a low, serious tone, with an air of authority surrounding him.
He took the investigation report from the secretary’s hand and examined it carefully, but the more he looked, the tighter his brows became.
For a moment, he even doubted his own eyes, and Wu Xingcheng rubbed his eyes twice before re-examining the report.
“Can you guarantee that the information in the report is true?”
Wu Xingcheng’s serious face gradually showed a hint of strangeness as he flipped through the report page by page.
It was as if he didn’t want to believe the information in the report, and his face turned green and blue.
“Of course, I dare not deceive you, sir.”
The secretary seemed to have already guessed that Wu Xingcheng would ask this question.
After all, even when she saw the report earlier, she was shocked.
She couldn’t imagine that the person in question would do such a thing.
“Didn’t you guys discover anything when you were observing that little troublemaker?”
Wu Xingcheng’s eyes twitched as he closed the report and rubbed his temples, asking with a hint of headache.
How could it be possible? That little scoundrel, Wu Lian, would suddenly become someone else?
Their own son, who was once a useless, unscrupulous brat, would suddenly wake up?
Are you kidding me? Do you think this is a novel? Awakening just like that?
“I assure you, my lord, our actions have certainly not been detected by Young Master Wu Liang.”
“Ever since awakening a few days ago, Young Master Wu Liang seems to have become a different person.”
The female secretary pondered for a moment before calmly analyzing the situation at hand.
Nowadays, Young Master Wu Liang has become a gentleman of impeccable manners, though there are still moments that reveal his wild and unruly nature.
But the arrogance he exhibits now is starkly different from his previous flamboyant and domineering attitude. In fact, he seems to be more akin to the young Lord Xing Cheng.
“……”
Wu Xing Cheng stroked his chin in silence. His useless son has suddenly become enlightened?
This isn’t a TV drama. Does the plot where a good-for-nothing suddenly becomes enlightened and ascends to immortality after more than a decade really exist?
Could it be true, as the report suggests? That brat Wu Liang was actually awakened by a blow to the head?
“Alright, I’m aware of the general situation. Arrange for those people to continue monitoring Wu Liang’s actions.”
“Report to me immediately if he makes any move. I can’t believe that kid could amount to anything.”
Wu Xing Cheng casually tossed the documents to his secretary. Perhaps, this is just his worthless son’s attempt to catch my attention.
Hmph, willing to harm himself just to surprise me? Wu Liang has really invested heavily in this ploy.
After all, that brat has played many pranks just to get a bit more of my attention.
“Thinking that playing the reformed character will attract my gaze…”
Wu Xing Cheng sneered coldly. Let’s see what other tricks this little devil can come up with.
Just don’t give up halfway through; that would be too boring.
Shaking off the label of being a good-for-nothing isn’t something that can be done overnight, you brat.
“My lord, about the young master inviting Dr. Li Hua and the organizing company back…”
The female secretary, gazing at Wu Xing Cheng’s indifferent face, felt slightly stunned. She wondered if it was her imagination, but she thought she saw a hint of a smile on the lord’s face just now.
Impossible, right? Lord Wu Xing Cheng has always looked down on his worthless son.
It makes sense, though. Such an outstanding lord having a son who knows nothing but indulgence and debauchery would frustrate anyone.
“Let those two matters be. I believe Yao Shi will give me a reasonable explanation.”
“From now on, you don’t need to report on these matters. Just focus on observing any changes in that guy’s character and his usual conduct.”
Wu Xing Cheng waved his hand, dismissing the secretary in front of him.
What’s the matter? Does Wu Liang, that kid, really want to play games with me?
But since the little devil wants to play, I might as well indulge him.
To be honest, I’m somewhat looking forward to my worthless son surprising me.
“Ah… Yes… I understand, my lord…”
The secretary stared blankly at Wu Xingsheng, whose lips curled into a slight smile.
It wasn’t her imagination after all; Mr. Wu Xingsheng truly had a profound interest in this matter.
This was the first time she had seen Mr. Wu Xingsheng smile when speaking of Young Master Wu Liang.
“You may leave now, I’m tired.”
Wu Xingsheng turned and walked towards the inner room.
Yet, the image of Wu Liang’s youthful cheeks couldn’t help but surface in his mind.
On closer thought, it seemed he hadn’t seen that little rascal Wu Liang for years…
