Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 355: Yu Yue’s Gene Mutation

So young yet already showing the traits of a world-class scumbag, truly like the younger waves pushing the older ones on the Yangtze River.

Yu Xia remembered that previously he would constantly mention that Yunyun.

Thinking of this, she turned Yu Yue’s head around and asked him, "Is the second girl that Yunyun?"

Yu Yue hesitated as he replied, "No, Yunyun had some family matters and took a leave this week."

Once again, she showed an impressed expression, "You couldn’t resist meeting other girls in just a week? You’re really bringing shame to our family. Didn’t your dad give you a beating?"

Yu Yue, with teary eyes, said, "He did. Auntie, it hurt a lot. Can I stay here at your place...?"

"You might as well dream about it," Yue Ling said coolly.

Yu Yue immediately shut his mouth.

Yu Xia found it very amusing, and after laughing at his misfortune, she brought up Yue Ling’s dream again.

"So what’s the connection between this scumbag and the dream?"

Yue Ling’s gaze was deep, "Even though your brother gave him a beating last night, I know he definitely didn’t take it to heart. He might even be glad his son is so good at making girls happy."

She took a deep breath and continued, "There are some details you can’t overthink, or you’ll never get over it. Last night I dreamed that your brother, like Yu Yue, was actually a scumbag too.

He pretended to love me at home for eternity, but once outside, he went to meet a mistress with his business partners, even buying a villa to keep her. And me, an aging woman, only had my man and son in my life, knowing nothing about it until that woman showed up at my door... just like those two little girls yesterday!"

As she spoke, her anger seemed real, as if her brother in the dream certainly got a thrashing.

Yue Ling continued to analyze in a low voice, "If the upper beam is not straight, the lower ones will go crooked. I’m not the kind of person to cheat, so why does Yu Yue have this character? It has to be your brother’s fault!"

"..." Well, that kind of makes sense?

Yu Xia cautiously said, "Perhaps it’s a genetic mutation?"

Yu Yue groaned, "My dear aunt—"

Yu Xia glanced at him.

Poor nephew, you’re still too young. Right now, you’re not important. What’s important is whether you can pacify your mom, or you’ll get beaten when you go back. My concern is your physical health afterward—your mental health isn’t important for now.

Yue Ling already resorted to serious knowledge, "Genetic mutations wouldn’t cause this. How you grow up is influenced by both genes and the environment. If he wasn’t like this, where did Yu Yue learn it from?"

Yu Yue, sharp as ever, looked up, "My dad says I take after Auntie."

Auntie herself: "..."

Yue Ling: "..."

Yu Xia tousled the unfortunate nephew all over, fiercely saying, "Don’t drag me into this! I’m nothing like you, so indecent. I carry myself upright and never tease girls like you do every day!"

Yu Yue dodged her fierce hands while replying confidently, "But you’ve had so many boyfriends!"

"Those were all fake! I only have one boyfriend, the one you’ve met before. I love him to death, no interest in playing around with other guys!"

Just as she finished, the door opened, and Xie Qingci, who hadn’t even taken off his cap yet, raised an eyebrow and took off his black baseball cap, staring at her in surprise.

Yu Xia didn’t expect such a coincidence in the world, and as she looked up at him, the words she had just casually said replayed slowly in her mind, only then did she belatedly feel her face burning.

Yu Yue seemed very excited to see him and exclaimed, "Handsome brother! My aunt said she loves you so much!"

Yu Xia couldn’t help but give him a slap.

Xie Qingci came in and, holding back a laugh, said, "Thank you, I heard it."

Yue Ling stood up, intending to make room for him, but he only placed the things he was holding on the table, then put his cap back on and prepared to leave.

"Not staying?" Yue Ling asked, "We’re just about to leave as well."

Xie Qingci shook his head, "No need, I just came to drop off something."

He looked at Yu Xia, whose face was still red, and curbed his urge to embrace and kiss her. He said, "Didn’t you say you wanted to try the desserts from that restaurant? I brought a couple back for you, be sure to eat them."

It was from the previous call when he was dining at a restaurant outside. Several desserts and appetizers looked good, so he sent her some pictures. She mentioned she had eaten there once and it was nice, but unfortunately hadn’t gone back since.

She didn’t expect him to actually bring them back today.

Yu Xia nodded with mixed emotions, "Did you just get back?"

"Yeah, just back from the airport. You guys go ahead and chat, I’m going back to sleep."

Yu Xia stood up to see him off, walked to the door, took a couple of steps outside to make sure Yue Ling and the others couldn’t see, then raised her hand to hook around his neck.

"Lower your head, let me kiss you."

Xie Qingci obediently lowered his head, and the two of them kissed passionately.

They hadn’t seen each other for a few days, and even daily video calls couldn’t quench the longing. Xie Qingci’s hand rested behind her shoulder, pressing her against the wall, kissing her deeply and heavily.

After the kiss, Yu Xia pushed him away, touched his face lightly, and said in a low voice, "Go have a good rest, let’s have dinner together tonight."

Xie Qingci’s eyes brightened slightly, and he raised his hand to hold hers, "What do you want to eat?"

"I don’t know, we’ll see what my sister-in-law brings us."

"Okay. Go back inside, if they leave, give me a call." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Yu Xia pursed her lips, why did it feel like they were sneaking around having an affair?

After seeing Xie Qingci off, she adjusted her hair and clothes outside, patted her face, and went back inside.

Inside, Yue Ling and Yu Yue were sitting on the sofa staring at her.

Yu Xia felt a bit guilty for no reason, coughed to appear calm, and walked over to sit down.

"Yu Yue, move over, you’re squishing me."

"Auntie, this sofa is longer than you, can’t you just sit beside it?"

"Whose sofa is it, mine or yours? I can sit wherever I want, not your business!" She gave him another slap in disdain.

Yu Yue had no choice but to hug his backpack that was on the side, and move to the armrest side, looking very aggrieved.

The grim expression Yue Ling had just now, suspecting her husband of cheating, was gone, replaced by a subtle teasing, "Your relationship is really good, he doesn’t forget to order food for you from the restaurant even when he’s on the road."

She leaned back on the sofa with a deliberate slowness, "It’s alright."

"Just like your brother, wagging your tail."

At the mention of her brother, Yue Ling’s face darkened again.

"I think that dream might have a hint, just because your brother behaves at home doesn’t mean he’s the same outside. I’m not with him all the time, I can’t know everything he does."

The suspicions wouldn’t be dismissed once they took hold. That unfortunate nephew, causing such a big problem for his dad, it wouldn’t be surprising if he got beaten until he passed his language test when he went back.

"Then you should investigate him," Yu Xia thought for a moment and said, "Trace every penny of his spending, track his itinerary during business trips, check his takeout orders, his hotel bookings, check everything."

Yue Ling listened seriously, pondered for a while, then sighed.

"Forget it, I have his main card, and I manage the money. There shouldn’t be a problem."

"...." No funds to indulge in debauchery, it seems.
