Chapter 617: Chapter 616: 616, high energy warning!

She looked at the woman in outrage, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

The woman sat up on her bed, “I am talking nonsense? Aren’t you working at a bar? Everyone knows that women who work in bars are actually all prostitutes! You’re still dressed up so slutty tonight and going out to flirt, don’t you dare to admit it?”

“Stop your slander! I was out with my boyfriend tonight!” Bai Ruwei could not help screaming.

“Boyfriend? You mean paramour?” The woman sneered at her, “Look at this expensive dress. Did you just finish serving someone and return like this? You’re all messed up, are you not ashamed? Why do you have to squeeze with us in this place if you can be a mistress to a rich man? Last time I saw an expensive car pick you up. That car is worth millions. What happened? Didn’t you serve him well? Has your paramour run away?”

Bai Ruwei ignored her and, with red-rimmed eyes, dashed out of the room.

She stepped into the bathroom and stood under the shower. Hot water poured from head to toe. Soon, steam clouded her vision, and she couldn’t see her own tears.

Why was she always being bullied?

Why could everyone look down upon her?

She had already tried her best.

Bai Ruwei turned and saw her reflection in the mirror.

The steam fogged up the mirror. The woman’s skin was fair, her figure delicate. Through the haze, she seemed more lithe and soft.

Her face was also quite pretty.

But as she continued to stare, her tears flowed more fiercely.

What should she do?

What should she do to get herself out of this predicament?

When would she finally be able to reach the top?

The following day, her phone rang.

Su Wanwan woke up from her sleep and hurriedly picked up her cell phone.

When she saw the name “Huang Gangsheng”, she remembered she had planned to go to the TV station for a show at nine o’clock.

Oh no.

It was already past eight-fifty!

Even if she flew, she wouldn’t make it.

She had no choice but to answer awkwardly, “Hello, team leader, I’m sorry, I…”

“Haha, it’s okay, I guessed that you had a wild night on Valentine’s Day, so you couldn’t come, right?”

Su Wanwan was taken aback, “I’m sorry.”

“No problem, there will be opportunities next time.”

Su Wanwan could only continue apologizing repeatedly.

As soon as she hung up, the door of the room swung open, and Huo Jingshen strolled in. Annoyed, she threw a pillow at him, “You shameless rascal!”

Huo Jingshen looked at her blushing face, thinking she was shy, he shamelessly laughed, “Baby, are you praising your husband?”

Su Wanwan: “…”

Shameless!

What kind of inner strength does he have?

To say such a thing with a straight face?

“What are you thinking?”

Huo Jingshen pinched her cheek.

It was soft and tender, like a freshly peeled boiled egg.

Without resisting his desire, he lowered his head.

Su Wanwan pushed him away, “Don’t… I’m… I’m going to be late for work!”

“First let’s… and then go to work.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

Could this be a pickup line?

This old driver!

After Valentine’s Day, all the major companies and institutions in Nancheng gradually resumed regular office hours.

Xiao Yebai also recovered and returned to work at Mo Family.

A year’s plan starts with spring.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month had passed, the festivity of the New Year completely faded.

The following day was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

On this day, it was also the death anniversary of Xu Xian.

At eight or nine in the morning, they arrived at the cemetery.

Mo Weiyi, dressed in black, leaned on Xiao Yebai’s arm and accompanied the Mo Family to sweep the tomb.

In addition to the old man from the Mo Family, who hadn’t come, there were half of the housekeepers and bodyguards of the Mo Family. In large numbers and silent, they lined up on either side of the tombstone.

Apart from them, Mrs. Xu and Xu Jing also followed.

The tomb-sweeping process was quite quick; each person presented flowers, lit incense, observed a moment of silence, and the entire process didn’t take up to an hour.

After it was over and they got outside the cemetery, everyone got into the cars and left in orderly manner.

The south of the city was far from here. The elderly Mrs. Xu was going to stay at the Mo Family’s old residence for the night.

Perhaps Mo Weiyi hadn’t seen his grandmother for a while, he decided to return to the old house with her.

After more than a dozen black sedans slowly left, Xu Jing spoke, “Brother-in-law, could your driver give me a ride? It’s not easy to get a cab here.”

“Alright.” Mo Yaoxiong agreed.

After boarding the car, driver Xiaoli drove from the front.

The two of them sat quietly in the back.

Occasionally he glanced over, seeing Xu Jing wiping away tears, Mo Yaoxiong sighed softly inside, remaining silent.

The journey was quiet.

Upon reaching Xu Jing’s residential area, Mo Yaoxiong spoke, “You still have the performance tomorrow, don’t you? Go home and rest to avoid swelling of your eyes that can affect your performance.”

“Thank you, brother-in-law.” Xu Jing nodded, opened the car door, got out, and walked away.

Mo Yaoxiong didn’t say anything, and Xiaoli also dared not drive away.

It was not until the woman outside the car slowly walked into the building lobby that Mo Yaoxiong finally spoke, “Let’s go back home.”

“Okay, sir.” Xiaoli immediately drove away.

Who knew that before they even reached the entrance of the residential compound, Mo Yaoxiong’s phone suddenly rang.

He promptly picked up the phone, “Xu Jing, what happened?”

“…”

Not sure what was said on the other end, Mo Yaoxiong’s face changed suddenly, “What did you say? Okay, don’t panic, just wait outside, I’ll be right there.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone, “Turn the car around.”

“Understood, sir.”

Xiaoli hurriedly turned around. When they reached her apartment building, Mo Yaoxiong rushed directly into the lobby.

Xiaoli frowned.

What happened?

Mo Yaoxiong took the elevator all the way up and, stepping out of the elevator, Xu Jing immediately came over in a panic, “Brother-in-law!”

“What happened? Did you call the police?”

Xu Jing nodded, her voice trembling, “I’ve already called them, I didn’t dare to go in. What if someone is still inside?”

“They probably aren’t, don’t be frightened.” Mo Yaoxiong spoke and then went in.

“Brother-in-law, be careful.” Xu Jing grabbed his arm, even her fingers were shaking.

She was clearly frightened.

Mo Yaoxiong reassured her, “It’s okay, just stay right behind me.”

“Okay.”

Mo Yaoxiong went into the house through the wide-open front door, picked up a black umbrella from the entrance, and then stepped into the living room.

Luckily nobody was inside.

But the house was a mess, the living room, kitchen, there were things scattered everywhere.

When Mo Yaoxiong opened the bedroom door, it was even more chaotic, her clothes were all pulled out, over the floor, and the bed, they were everywhere.

Xu Jing walked over wanting to clean up, but Mo Yaoxiong stopped her, “Don’t touch anything, wait for the police, they may need to collect fingerprints.”

“…Okay.” Xu Jing could only comply.

Soon, the police arrived.

After investigation, the leading officer said, “There are no fingerprints, looks like the work of a professional.”

“Was there any surveillance?” Mo Yaoxiong asked.

Turns out there only were surveillance cameras in the elevators in this residence. They went to the security room to check the footage, there were people coming and going in the elevator, it was impossible to pinpoint who it was, and the time was not certain. It was like finding a needle in a haystack.

They returned to the room.

“Check and see if any valuables are missing?”

Xu Jing hurried to check and finally said, “My laptop got stolen, and some thousands in the drawer, all my bank cards, are all gone.”

“Looks like it was burglary.” The police made a conclusion, “Have already filed a case, if we find any clues, we’ll inform you.”

“Okay.”

While filling out the paperwork, another policeman said, “Yesterday, right next door, a single woman was alone at home and ordered delivery. As a result, thieves rushed in. She thought it was the delivery guy, she had no guard up, not only was her home rummaged through, but she was also assaulted and suffered injuries. It’s lucky if you only lose your property, as long as the person is safe, it’s okay.”

Xu Jing turned pale with fright, “I…I live alone usually.”

The policeman looked at Mo Yaoxiong, “Then who is this gentleman…?”

“He is my brother-in-law.”

The policeman: “…”

After all the back and forth, they thought they were a couple.

After the police left, Xu Jing apologized, “Brother-in-law, I’m so sorry for letting people mistake us again, I don’t know why they’re so gossipy…”

“Enough, why bring this up now.” Mo Yaoxiong felt somewhat embarrassed, then interrupted her, “By the way, why do you keep the money at home? It’s very insecure.”

“I just received my salary yesterday, I don’t use that card much, so I thought to take the money out and change card.”

“All these things can be done online, if you don’t know, I can teach you later.”

“Okay.”

Xu Jing was a violin practitioner, too innocent, and lacking practical commonsense about life’s finance.

Mo Yaoxiong felt helpless.
