11 Mother Hen(Edited)

Yue Yeager had always regarded Yue Xiang as his son, even though they weren't blood-related and his son has always had a keen perspective over the minor things that Yue Yeager didn't want to bother with. As a result, Yue Yeager believed his son more than anyone, which was also one of the reasons for his daughter's anger towards him in the past.

---A bit of a flashback---

"Daddy, how can you always agree to anything that Yue Xiang says? You always say that his ideas are the best and then turn around and reject mine? Which one of us did mom actually give birth to?!?"

Never thinking about the impact that her words would have on her family, Yue Wan constantly yelled and berated the two that loved her most in the world with words that carried thorns straight to their hearts. After she could no longer think of what to say, she started to throw everything within eyesight, no matter what memories those objects held.

"Yue Wan, you are my everything. Just believe in daddy." Unfortunately for both the father and daughter, all of his requests and love fell onto deaf ears.

--- End---

Pondering over her behaviour in the past few days and comparing it to how she was behaving today, Yue Yeager realized just how different she had become. It was as if she had gained a pearl of wisdom and maturity that he had not seen in her before.

Before, Yue Yeager had sought every way to make her understand where he was coming from and what he was trying to do, but today, she acted like she had finally taken his advice, learned something and realized that he WAS trying to do what was best for her without any further arguments.

Remembering her aura when the Lu Family appeared all he could think was; 'Did father possess Little Wan?'

Yue Yeager pondered about the peculiarity of his daughter, then shook his head to dismiss the insane notion.

'But she did kiss me twice this morning, just like how she used to when she was a kid.'

With a dumbfounded expression on his face, Yue Yeager's face changed with complexity.

"Sorry to interrupt your over-delusional episode, father, but Grampa didn't possess her." Yue Xiang's voice dropped out of the blue like a bomb.

Yue Yeager narrowed his eyes at being interrupted and gave Yue Xiang a vague look. 'Do you have to read my thoughts aloud? Tsk.'

With a flat expression, Yue Xiang clarified, "The voice in your mind is having some leakage. I could hear your thoughts quite clearly, thank you very much."

Yue Xiang snorted at his father's idiocy while keeping his jealousy buried deep in his heart.

Yue Yeager was ready to open his mouth and argue some more, but they were interrupted again by a cellphone notification. 'Ding.....Ding!'

Yue Xiang's number was known only to certain people, so this must be something important. He picked up his cell to see who it could be and found out it was from his sister.

Yue Yeager was peeking at the mobile's screen with curiosity. Seeing the sender's name, he boomed.

"It's from Little Wan, quickly check it... Check it!!"

Witnessing his Father's enthusiasm, Yue Xiang was quite annoyed, but still, he opened the message to find four words.

----

From: Little Wan

Today exam, on guard.

-----

"What is the exam?"

Yue Yeager, with hypersensitive love for his daughter, became enraged for two reasons.

First, his Little Ancestor didn't send him the message, and second, "My Little Wan is troubled about something? She has not yet recovered, how can she focus on some test? Can't they delay it?"

Yue Yeager rattled off similar to a Mother Hen protecting her chicks.

"Uncle Wang, call WAX's Director and instruct him to drop all tests for today. If not, I will withdraw the funds we were going to invest in the Xiao's new entertainment venture."

After Yue Yeager said his peace and looked to Yue Xiang to comply, Yue Xiang now understood why his sister didn't send the message to his father.

'It will be an absolute disaster if dad has his way.'

"Dad, Little Wan wants to participate in the exam," Yue Xiang interpreted his dad calmly.

Yue Yeager looked at him with a questioning gaze. "Then what about the 'on guard' comment?!"

Yue Xiang's lips curved into a cold smile, "Someone might try to play some tricks so we shouldn't act imprudently."

Yue Yeager thought about the previous evening's incident. "Does this exam have anything to do with those people trying to drug my little princess at her own party last night?"

Yue Xiang wasn't sure that this could be the reason, but it appears that his sister spotted the connection first.

"Apparently. Last week, I found out that WAX is going to conduct an exam to determine the best academic of the year."

Yue Yeager wanted to run out and find his Little Wan. He was scared of her being in school with those treacherous beasts.

Yue Xiang anticipated his dad's reactions and quickly put a stop to them. " Dad, just believe in Little Wan, ok?"

Yue Yeager pouted a little as he looked at his son. "Why didn't she mention anything to me?" he asked.

Yue Xiang raised his eyebrows with an expression of 'did you really have to ask?'

Without a word, Yue Xiang threw his father out of the house and into the car in order to go sightseeing around City B. A trip that would take about 6 hours to complete.

Though Yue Yeager whined a lot about it saying: 'Xiang, daddy has a headache, so please let me rest. I will stay in the house and wait for Little Wan. I promise to behave.'

Yue Xiang rolled his eyes. He wasn't going to fall for his father's act, so he let the security guards drag Yue Yeager into his car, kicking and screaming. "Little Wan, save daddy!!"

After he kicked his dad out, Yue Xiang turned to the housekeeper that was standing outside the door. "Uncle Wang, don't let anyone know about Dad's whereabouts."

"Okay, Young Master. Shall I prepare your lunch?"

Uncle Wang stood next to the door while Yue Xiang was preparing to go out.

Yue Xiang entered his deep red Porsche and started the engine. "No need, I will be returning late."

During his ride, he made a call, which was picked up after the third ring. "Meet me at Blue Rose."

On the other side, a rich deep voice, "One hour."

'For you, Little Lion, I am willing to meet that Witch.' He grunted while his lips slipped into a smile.

--- Back at school---

Yue Wan sneezed twice, first, when she had entered the library and second when she was collecting her stuff.

Chen Ai came back to Yue Wan after completing her mission. Soon, they both proceeded to revise the class materials in the library.

"Little Wan, it looks like someone is complaining," Chen Ai said softly.

"It seems like daddy got kicked out of the house." Yue Wan stroked her temple, a troubled expression on her face.

'Big brother, can't you go easier on him? It's me that has to deal with his wailing when I get back to the house.'

--- Outside the class corridor---

Wei Wan called her father's number, but it was picked by Secretary Zhu.

"Young Miss Wan, your father is having lunch with our new investors, so he can't pick your call now."

Anxious about the new turn of events, Wei Wan's heart began to beat furiously.

Then with a razor-edged voice, she demanded: "Connect me to my father right now."

Secretary Zhu knew Wei Wan's temper was never as good as she made it seem, so he passed the phone to his Master.

"Master Wei, it's the Young Miss. It seems to be urgent," he whispered.

Wei Xing was boasting about his daughter's future achievements in the WAX exam and he promised the investors with an assurance that soon the Wei corporation would get the investment from the Xiao family.

However, the investors were still reluctant to sink more money into the Wei corporation.

Wei Xing made an excuse to take the call, and, as he left the private room he hissed impatiently: "Wan Wan, what happened?"

Wei Wan bit her lip in nervousness as she muttered in a brittle voice; "Dad, Little Wan came to school today."

Wei Xing made a shrill noise as he was startled. "What?!?"

He looked around to check if he was alone and then he lowered his voice to continue. "Wei Wan, I gave you one job! Just one job, and you couldn't even do that right," he barked, berating her for her failure.

Trying to control his temper, Wei Xing quietly reminded her. "I don't want to know what you're going to do, but you MUST get into the Xiao Corporation. Either you stop her from taking it, or you beat her to it."

Wei Xing didn't want to make his new investors wait too long, in case they had any second thoughts, so he cut the call by saying, "Don't disappoint me."

Wei Xing commanded his secretary to find Yue Yeager's location. He knew that he couldn't trust his daughter to do things correctly, so he had a backup plan put in place. "Call Wei Cheng to prepare to act," he ordered.
