When the driver left and the car door closed, Mo Yaoxiong turned to his daughter, âWeiyi, be honest with me, whatâs going on between you and Yebai?â
Mo Weiyi lowered her head.
There were still traces of unvanquished blood stains on her hands and clothes, a frightful sight she has yet to wash away.
Just thinking about Xiao Yebai vomiting blood earlier made her heart ache as if it was being slashed by a knife.
âWasnât it you who was constantly following him around, insisting on marrying him?â Mo Yaoxiongâs voice echoed once more. âHow long have you been married? Two years?â
Mo Weiyi clenched her fingers, looking up at her father, âBut we canât carry on.â
âNonsense!â Mo Yaoxiong said sternly, âThere are no outsiders here, tell me the truth, have you fallen for someone else?â
âDad?â Mo Weiyi exclaimed, âWhy donât you ask whether it is he who has fallen for someone else?â
âYebai will not fall for another woman.â
Mo Weiyi was even more surprised, âHow do you know?â
Mo Yaoxiong squinted his piercing eyes, âIf he could fall for another, he would have done that a long time ago. Would he have waited for you to marry him?â
Despised by her own father, Mo Weiyi was both angry and dissatisfied, âDad, what do you mean by that?â
Am I really that inferior?
Mo Yaoxiong said, âAnyway, I will never agree to a divorce, so put that idea out of your mind.â
âWhy?â
âNo reason.â Mo Yaoxiong said in a decisive tone.
Mo Weiyi frowned, âThen you might as well imagine that Iâve fallen for someone else, I no longer have feelings for him, I want a divorce.â
âWhoâs the man youâve fallen for?â
âNot yet, but I just donât love him anymore.â
âWeiyi, canât you be more sensible?â Mo Yaoxiong said in a tone of angered helplessness, âYebai is busy dealing with the companyâs affairs every day. The scale of the Mo family is getting bigger. From top to bottom, he is the only one in charge of all the staff. Now, at the end of the year, all the branches have so much work, they are busy to the point of vomiting blood and getting hospitalized. Instead of understanding and giving him space, youâre throwing tantrums at this time? Do you have to trouble him with such trivial matters?â
âI donât think this is a trivial matter.â Mo Weiyi pouted and looked at her father with grievance. âIn a marriage, if thereâs no feelings, should we still continue living together?â
Mo Yaoxiongâs tone remained cold and hard, âEven without feelings, you two must continue.â
âWhy?â Mo Weiyi truly couldnât understand.
Under the illumination of the carâs lights, Mo Yaoxiongâs features were tense. His brow furrowed sternly, âYou are the Mo familyâs daughter, you should understand that for the sake of the company, for the Mo family, you canât divorce Yebai.â
âI donât get it, what does my divorce have to do with the company? Even if heâs not my husband, heâs still my brother in name. He can still stay in the Mo family and continue working for the company, right? Isnât an adopted son still a son?â
Hearing this, Mo Yaoxiongâs expression changed slightly, and then he said, âItâs not that simple, and Iâve promised your mother, I wonât let you divorce.â
Mo Weiyi was immediately left speechless, âMy mom has been gone for four years.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mentioning Xu Xian, the atmosphere inside the car suddenly went quiet and heavy.
After a long while, Mo Yaoxiong sighed deeply, âWeiyi, your mother and I only had you. Your grandfather is old, he can die any day now. I donât have enough energy to manage the three things going on in the Mo family. Do you understand what Iâm saying?â
Mo Weiyi shook her little head.
âSigh.â Mo Yaoxiong decided not to say more.
He glanced at the time, âDonât worry, Yebai wonât cheat, heâs a very responsible man. He once personally promised your mother he would take care of you for a lifetime.â
Mo Weiyi looked at her father, her heart was stunned.
She was only sixteen when Xu Xian passed away. She was the one who initiated intimacy with Xiao Yebai when she was eighteen. Before that, Xiao Yebai was indifferent to her, how could he have promised to take care of her at such an early stage?
Then she asked, âDoes an elder brother take care of his younger sister like this?â
âAfter getting married, heâs your husband, and will only be your husband in the future.â Mo Yaoxiong said seriously, âI will consider this matter as if it never happened. Grandpaâs heart is not good, he canât be overstimulated. If you have any filial piety left, discard the idea of having a divorce completely. Go back and have a good talk with Yebai. Discuss any issues openlyâ¦â
âDad.â Mo Weiyi suddenly interrupted him, âWhy didnât you tell me that Yunyao likes him?â
âDid Yebai tell you?â
âDo you think thatâs possible?â
âWhat do you mean?â
Mo Weiyi said, âMy aunt told me.â
Xu Jing?
Mo Yaoxiong furrowed his brows, lowered his voice and said, âI only found out about it when I checked her mobile. I didnât tell you because I feared that you would overthink and get emotional once you know about it. Your grandfather thought the same. We asked Yebai about it, turns out itâs Yunyaoâs unrequited love.â
âReally?â
âOr else what could it be? Yebai is a very rational man, he wonât do such an outrageous thing. You donât need to doubt this.â
Mo Weiyi fell silent.
Yes, Xiao Yebai is very rational, especially when dealing with women.
So when Xu Jing said those words, even though she was furious, she knew deep down that Xiao Yebai would not have done anything with Qu Yunyao.
Contrarily, she was more concerned about Tian Ye.
