Chapter 25 Yao Muling's Anger

The little boy was wearing a slightly old but fairly clean outfit, and had chubby cheeks.

His eyes sparkled as he excitedly said, "Mommy, Mommy, KFC is so delicious! I wish we could eat it every day."

The little boy's mother looked to be in her early twenties, wearing a slightly faded dress.

Her face still had a touch of childishness, but her eyes revealed a weariness that was beyond her years.

She looked at the little boy gently and whispered, "Sweetie, we can't eat KFC every day. Eating too much junk food is bad for your health."

Her thin face and rough hands revealed that their life was not well-off.

The little boy immediately pouted and threw a tantrum, waving his little hands in the air: "But Dad always takes me to KFC."

The girl's face instantly turned pale, her brows furrowed, as if she was trying her best to suppress something.

She took a deep breath and said patiently, "If Dad were here every day, he wouldn't let you eat KFC every day. It's only because Dad only sees you occasionally that he takes you to eat it once in a while."

A spoiled child, an absent father, and a mother who shoulders most of the responsibility of raising the child but is blamed by the child.

Classic.

Yao Muling, who had overheard the entire conversation, scoffed lightly.

She couldn't resist peeking over to look at the mother and child.

The moment she saw the little boy's face, she froze.

The little boy's face bears a striking resemblance to her beloved boyfriend, Wei Nanjun, at about 70%!

The chat in the live stream seemed to freeze at that moment.

After a brief silence, the screen went viral instantly.

[Holy crap! What's going on? Is there something wrong with this child? Why does [the attendant] look so pale?]

[No way, no way, could this be the legendary illegitimate child?]

Wait a minute, I thought this was a thrilling e-sports novel, how did it suddenly turn into a melodramatic story about catching someone cheating? This plot is so exciting, I feel like there's going to be some big juicy gossip!

Yao Muling could clearly hear her own heartbeat roaring in her ears.

No, no, no, Yao Muling vehemently denied it.

They just look alike; that doesn't prove anything.

Perhaps this is his relative's child; it's quite common for nephews to resemble their uncles.

Yao Muling involuntarily gripped her phone tighter, looked at Lu Yao on the other end of the screen, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is it what I think?"

Lu Yao nodded. "If you don't run away, you'll have to become this child's stepmother."

Yao Muling's mind went blank.

Shock, anger, disappointment, and pain intertwined, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

The phone suddenly vibrated, and Yao Muling looked down at the screen.

It was a message from Wei Nanjun.

Next to the familiar profile picture, an affectionate message appeared: "Honey, I'm home after my practice match. I brought you fried chicken and beer. Why aren't you home?"

In the past, such news could stir sweet ripples in Yao Muling's heart.

But at this moment, there was no sweetness left in her heart.

She stared intently at the word "fried chicken," and the image of the little boy happily eating KFC from earlier involuntarily flashed through her mind.

Instantly, blood rushed to his head.

Yao Muling almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

After taking your son to eat at KFC, you brought me the leftovers?

What am I?!

Yao Muling bit her lower lip tightly, her face flushed red with anger.

She suppressed her anger and did not reply to Wei Nanjun.

Instead, he quickly swiped the screen, exited the chat window, and clicked on the avatars of other team members.

"Arui, how did the practice match go this afternoon?"

Yao Muling tried her best to make her tone sound natural.

Soon, Arui's reply popped up: "Sister-in-law, you played so well, Brother Jun got four kills every time."

Upon seeing this message, Yao Muling's eyes turned cold.

The term "sister-in-law" sounded so jarring at that moment.

"Hmm, Nan Jun is still at the club, right? Let him take you to Lidu for a big meal."

Yao Muling took a deep breath and replied.

"Yeah, Brother Jun is still training. I'll tell him in a bit, hehe, your wife is so generous!"

Arui's reply had a hint of ingratiation.

But in Yao Muling's eyes, it was simply a mockery of her.

Yao Muling slumped back in her car seat.

Wei Nanjun said he had gone home, but his brothers were still covering for him.

Clearly, they had conspired together long ago.

All day today, whenever I asked, I said Wei Nanjun was training at the club.

In reality, he went to reunite with his wife and children.

Yao Muling grew angrier the more she thought about it, her anger rising from the soles of her feet to her heart.

As the club owner, she dedicates her time and effort to the team, investing her money and energy into it.

But these team members only listened to Wei Nanjun, conspired to deceive her, and treated her like a fool!

Yao Muling belatedly realized that something was wrong.

Although she held the title of boss all along, she gradually became Wei Nanjun's subordinate in the team and was called "sister-in-law" by everyone.

She is clearly the owner of the e-sports club and holds the reins of its finances.

However, Wei Nanjun effectively sidelined Wei Nanjun in terms of influence within the team.

Looking back on the recruitment process, Yao Muling entrusted Wei Nanjun with the entire right to select people out of trust.

At the time, she felt that Wei Nanjun had a deep understanding of the game and would definitely be able to recruit excellent team members.

Unexpectedly, the people he recruited only recognized him as their "big brother" and felt that he was the one with real power in the team.

He himself, the boss, had become nothing more than a figurehead.

Yao Muling forced herself to calm down.

She took a deep breath, watched the mother and child disappear into the residential area, then made a phone call and said coldly, "Secretary Li, I need to recruit new people for the club."

Then, Yao Muling raised her phone, faced the screen, and looked sincerely at Lu Yao.

"Master, if you have already calculated the cause and effect, please tell me the whole truth."

Wow, [伴君左右] has even changed how they address the streamer, now calling him "Master." Looks like the streamer got it right again!

[I'm so excited! Master, I want to hear the truth too! I can't wait!]

Lu Yao nodded slightly. "Then I'll give you a brief explanation."

The divination indicates that the CROWN team, on which Yao Muling has placed high hopes, is destined to suffer a crushing defeat in this Spring Split.

Among them, the team's core player, Butcher Wei Nanjun, bears an undeniable responsibility.

First of all, this is Wei Nanjun's first official appearance on the professional stage.

His severely unstable mindset led him to make numerous basic mistakes.

The kill, which should have been a precise strike, was missed due to his panic.

Furthermore, his mistakes are inextricably linked to his complicated family background.

On the day of the competition, Wei Nanjun was surprised to see his wife and son at the competition venue.

At that time, Yao Muling was also present!

Lord Wei Nan was immediately panicked and completely lost his composure.
