CHAPTER 179: CHAPTER 174: DON’T STEP AWAY FROM ME (SIXTH UPDATE)

Another paternity test! Yi Luowa lowered her gaze without saying a word. At least this unborn child has a mother, but she? She doesn’t even know who her mother is!

Tong Airui tightly held her hand and looked up at Mi Chenshuo. "Which one of you two chose that hospital?"

Mi Chenshuo frowned slightly. Back then, Han Yirou had come to him, claiming she was pregnant with his child. He was completely caught off guard. He was now trying hard to recall who had suggested going to that hospital. "I think it was her. She said it was near the film studio."

"Let’s wait for the next test result." Tong Airui glanced at his silent uncle. "Shall I arrange for an investigation, or will you handle it?"

Mi Xiaotian said in a deep voice, "There’s something fishy about this. I’ve already sent people to investigate."

"What if the child really is Shuoshuo’s? Are we keeping it?" Yan Zi was focused on her grandson.

Mi Xiaotian shook his head. "This decision is Shuoshuo’s to make. We shouldn’t act recklessly."

Long Che looked at the trio with a gloomy face. "After settling this matter, you all better head back to Xiawu. Don’t stress Mom out anymore!"

"Alright, I’ll handle it quickly." Mi Xiaotian sighed. "This kind of situation with Shuoshuo should be a lesson for all you brothers. Alcohol isn’t anything good—drink too much, and it leads to trouble. Seriously, you get blackout drunk, and once someone targets you, even jumping into the Yellow River can’t wash it off."

"Only an idiot like him could pull something like this off!" Tong Aino gave Mi Chenshuo a disdainful look.

Tong Airui shot him a warning glance, then turned toward Mi Xiaotian. "Uncle, we’ll be careful. Right now, we need to think about cleaning up the aftermath. I’ve already arranged for the posts to be taken down. Matters like this shouldn’t be blown up. From here, it will be up to Aunt and Third Brother to handle the PR. We must restore Third Brother’s reputation."

Yan Zi nodded. "I’ve already instructed the PR team to manage the aftermath."

Mi Chenshuo had a devil-may-care expression. "If it were up to me, I’d do nothing. Let them hype it up. Once they’re tired and bored, it’ll fade away naturally. Also, this movie will be my last work. I’m retiring behind the scenes—I’m really fed up with this circle. There’s zero privacy."

"If you’re quitting, quit cleanly. Don’t bring shame to the family!" Mi Xiaotian shot his son a cold look.

Mi Chenshuo smirked faintly. "Alright, I’ll listen to you. I’ll make sure everything’s spotless before I bow out."

"Why don’t we go out and chill for a bit?" Tong Aino stood up, concerned Third Brother might get too depressed.

"Where to?" Mi Chenshuo was the first to respond.

"A bar, a nightclub—anywhere fun."

"These two kids!" Tong Yao shook her head helplessly.

"Just the two of us?" Tong Aino looked at Tong Airui. "Bro, are you and Sis-in-law coming?"

Tong Airui paused for a moment. "In this family, only you two can show up at those kinds of places casually. If we go, we’ll end up on the front page in no time."

"Wear masks," Mi Chenshuo laughed. "Brother-in-law, You Jia, why don’t you two come? I’ll have masks sent over."

You Jia glanced at Ai Ni. Ai Ni chuckled. "Third Brother is asking you, not me. Why are you looking at me?"

You Jia smiled warmly. "If you want to go, I’ll go with you. If you don’t want to go, I won’t."

Long Che curled his lip. This guy—no spine, always listening to Ai Ni. He conveniently forgot that he’s also a wife-pleaser!

"Let’s go. Sis, Sis-in-law, Connie, let’s all go together. With masks on, no one will recognize us." Ai Ni seemed eager to go. Without waiting for their reply, she turned to Tong Yao and asked, "Mom, are you coming?"

Tong Yao chuckled and shook her head. "That’s more of a place for you young people. You go ahead, accompany your Third Brother and help him unwind properly. I’ll give your older brother a call—I wonder if Dabao and Erbao’s condition has improved."

Long Che said in a deep voice, "Lance called home. I answered. The kids are fine now. Mom and Third Uncle are at the tribe taking care of them."

"As a grandmother..." Tong Yao sighed. "The kids were sick, and I wasn’t by their side."

"Isn’t Grandmother there to help?" Ai Ni tugged at Tong Yao’s hand. "Come on, Mom. Let’s all go have fun together."

"You all go ahead." Tong Yao smiled at Tong Airui. "Luowa got injured as soon as she arrived in Z-country and hasn’t had a chance to go out and have fun. Take her along."

"Go," Long Che motioned with his hand.

With Long Che and Tong Yao’s encouragement, the group of young people stood up.

Tong Airui pinched Yi Luowa’s cheek. "Those places are chaotic. Don’t stray one step away from me, got it?"

"It’s not like I’ve never..." Yi Luowa stuck out her tongue and swallowed the rest of her sentence.

Tong Airui narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Never what? Don’t tell me you’ve been to places like that before!"

Yi Luowa scratched her head. "Definitely not in Z-country, but those clubs in F-country... yeah, I’ve been, hehe..."

"Hehe!" Tong Airui shot her a sideways glance.

The group burst into laughter, leaving Yi Luowa feeling a bit embarrassed.

Still joking, the young people headed out the door and soon arrived at the nightclub Mi Chenshuo had mentioned. Everyone grabbed masks, put them on, and got out of the car.

As soon as Yi Luowa stepped out, she spotted a familiar figure stepping out of another car. "Fourth Brother, look!"
