Chapter 681: Chapter 680: 680, Xiaobai looks really good when laughing

Living room.

Xu Jing is sitting on the sofa with a cup of flower tea in front of her.

She’s wearing a lotus-colored blouse with black trousers, and a light gray cardigan. Her pretty face had no makeup but was near wrinkle-free due to good skincare.

At first glance, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to say she was in her early thirties.

Seeing Mo Weiyi, she immediately stood up, “Yiyi, I’m sorry, I hope I didn’t disturb you?”

Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, moving to sit on a nearby sofa, “Xiaoyi, did you need something from me?”

“No, not at all.” Xu Jing gave a gentle smile, “I just got back from your grandmother’s place, and I brought some fresh fruit for you.”

“Thank you, Xiaoyi.” Mo Weiyi politely thanked her, “but you don’t have to go through all this trouble next time, just call Aunt Zhou and have her pick it up. It will save you the trouble.”

“It’s no trouble at all. I haven’t been here before, and I was planning on going to the group for a meeting. So I thought I’d drop by and bring the fruit over.”

“Oh.”

A maid approached and poured a cup of flower tea for Mo Weiyi.

Xu Jing watched as Mo Weiyi lifted the cup to her lips and took a graceful sip.

The young and beautiful girl with loose curls wore a goose-yellow home dress.

Her disposition was all languid and casual.

But due to her delicate features, her every glance revealed a hidden arrogance; she exuded the aura of an on-high princess.

Actually, Mo Weiyi didn’t look much like Xu Xian.

The women in the Xu family tended to be gentle in appearance. She, the elder Mrs. Xu, Xu Xian, even Qu Yunyao—all had the same willowy eyebrows and almond eyes, giving them a fresh charm.

Mo Weiyi, on the other hand, possessed tantalizing cat-like eyes.

When she smiled, she was sweet and enchanting.

But when she was serious, she looked cold and authoritative.

Despite all this, she was still just a twenty-year-old girl.

A spoiled girl at that.

“Xiaoyi, you must have something more to say to me, right?”

Xu Jing brought her thoughts back, keeping her face neutral, “Mmm, I noticed your hand was injured some time back. Is it healed now?”

“It’s all healed.”

Xu Jing nodded, “Actually the reason I came was to discuss your mother’s birthday with you.”

She stated, “Her 66th birthday falls on the 8th this month. In the past few years, every time her birthday came around, I was in America. But now that I’m back in Nancheng, I want to throw her a grand birthday party. However, she refused, saying it’s too much trouble. Yiyi, you are her favorite granddaughter, can you convince her?”

Mo Weiyi immediately agreed, “Sure.”

Sixty-six was indeed a big birthday.

The elderly do care about auspicious numbers. The 8th just happened to fall on next Saturday, and she wouldn’t have to go to the law firm.

“But my father’s leg hasn’t healed yet, so how about this—I’ll discuss it with Uncle Shi, and have him find a hotel…”

“That would be too much trouble! I’ll handle it,” Xu Jing interrupted.

Mo Weiyi laughed, “Xiaoyi, there’s no need for you to be polite. I’ll ask Uncle Shi to arrange it.”

“Alright then,” Xu Jing didn’t insist. “I just feel that I haven’t celebrated a birthday with your grandmother for years now. As she ages, we have fewer years together. It’s been a long time since the relatives of the Xu family gathered, I just want both families to have a meal together, nothing too grand.”

Mo Weiyi nodded, “I understand.”

“Yiyi, thank you.” Xu Jing thanked her.

“No problem.” Mo Weiyi smiled sweetly, “Actually, I celebrate grandmother’s birthday with her every year.”

“…Oh.” Xu Jing’s face showed a trace of awkwardness.

At this moment, hastened footsteps were heard from the entrance, followed by, “Miss Xu.”

Mo Weiyi lifted her gaze.

The driver, Xiaoli, rushed in from outside, a bag in his hand. He looked flustered as he glanced at Xu Jing, wanting to say something but hesitating.

“Xiaoli, what brings you here?” asked Mo Weiyi.

Xiaoli promptly raised the bag he was holding, “Princess, the boss asked me to bring you some fruit.”

Mo Weiyi: “…”

More fruit?

Why was everyone bringing her fruit one after another?

Xiaoli let out a sigh of relief under his breath.

The little princess didn’t seem upset—she probably didn’t know anything.

“Princess, I’ll be taking my leave now.”

“Alright.”

Xiaoli then turned to Xu Jing, “Miss Xu, do you want me to give you a ride?”

“Alright.” Surprisingly, Xu Jing didn’t decline.

Mo Weiyi watched these two, her brow furrowing slightly.

Why did she feel this was somehow odd?

She immediately asked, “Xiaoli, do you know where Xiaoyi is headed?”

Xiaoli paused, then quickly caught on, “Princess, I’m not in a rush to go back. I can afford to give Miss Xu a ride.”

“Really?” Mo Weiyi still felt like something was off.

Xu Jing grabbed her bag, “Yiyi, I’m going now.”

“Alright.”

Once the two left, she returned to the study room.

Xiao Yebai was sitting behind the desk, his gaze fixed on the computer screen.

“Xiaobai.”

Xiao Yebai looked up, “They are gone?”

“Yes.”

Mo Weiyi went to him, directly sat on his lap, lifted her chin, kissed his handsome jawbone, then said, “She wants to throw a birthday party for grandmother, get the two families together, and also invite some of grandmother’s old friends.”

“Oh.” Xiao Yebai responded indifferently, without any particular emotion.

“Xiaobai, are you busy?” After Mo Weiyi finished speaking, she looked at the screen.

She saw that the case on the screen is what she had just been studying.

“Ah!”

Mo Weiyi quickly covered the computer screen, “Why are you peeking at my homework!”

Xiao Yebai raised his eyebrows, his peach blossom eyes behind the glasses glowing attractively and deeply, “Can’t I?”

Mo Weiyi: “…”

It’s not like he can’t look.

She was just shy about it.

Because this was her first time dealing with such a case, a property dispute, she hadn’t fully understood it yet, so the solution she wrote was just a rough draft, and she felt it was very amateurish.

She was embarrassed that he, a business elite, would see such amateurish work.

She simply closed the notebook, spoke in a soft and coquettish voice, “Awe, move over, this is my spot.”

Xiao Yebai looked at her slightly red face, a corner of his lips slightly hooked up, “Yours?”

Mo Weiyi nodded.

Xiao Yebai’s gaze still stayed on her face, unwavering and relaxed, “But you’re sitting on my leg.”

Mo Weiyi was stunned for a moment.

Seeing his rare teasing expression, she huffed angrily, “Got a problem? This spot is mine, and so is your leg! Only I can sit! Understand?”

Xiao Yebai even smiled openly this time.

It was a very obvious smile.

Mo Weiyi stared at him, then suddenly began daydreaming, “Xiaobai, you’re really handsome when you smile!”

She even removed his spectacles from his nose, “You’re even more handsome without glasses!”

Her husband was usually very indifferent and bookish, not much of a talker, let alone a smiler.

But in reality, when he smiles, he’s really handsome and seems very gentle, Mo Weiyi couldn’t help but fantasize, who knows…

“Get up, don’t you have homework due on Monday?”

“I know.” Mo Weiyi pouted her lips, reluctantly slid off him.

Xiao Yebai got up and sat down on the opposite side.

He switched on the computer, didn’t wear his glasses, and started working.

Mo Weiyi glanced at him, turned on her own computer, put on her own eyeglasses, and also started working seriously.

**

As for what happened in the Audi.

Xiaoli was driving in the front while Xu Jing sat in the back, the car was quiet until the ringtone of a phone started playing.

Xu Jing took out her phone, looked at the caller ID and answered, “Brother-in-law, did you need something?”

Xiaoli immediately glanced at the rearview mirror.

Mo Yaoxiong questioned on the phone, “Did you go to see Weiyi?”

“Yeah, I brought her some fruits and discussed with her about mother’s birthday party.”

“Just that?”

Xu Jing curved her lips, her voice as gentle as ever, “Yes, Brother-in-law, I promised you, I won’t tell Weiyi about my pregnancy. And besides, I have already agreed to have an abortion, what else are you worried about?”

“Xu Jing, you know the consequences of defying me.”

“I know.” Xu Jing continued to smile, “Brother-in-law, I knew that more than twenty years ago. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have told you about my pregnancy, let alone agree to have the surgery.”

“I hope so.” After saying this, the call ended.

Xu Jing slowly put down the phone, turned her head to look out the window, a bizarre smile hanging at the corner of her mouth.

**

After dropping off Xu Jing, Xiaoli drove back to the old Mo family mansion.

After parking the car, he went directly to Mo Yaoxiong’s villa.

Mo Yaoxiong was sitting on the living room couch, with a cast on his left leg, looking serious and tense.

“Madam Zhou, you can leave first.”

“Yes, sir.”
