Chapter 695: Chapter 694: 694, he won't scold you if you take a leave.

“I’m just worried about you.” Mo Weiyi said, almost in tears, “Do you understand how scared you made me last night?”

Looking at his granddaughter’s perfect, flaw-free face, Lord Mo was slightly touched and sighed, “I know you’re worried about me, but no matter what, you shouldn’t resort to hitting people, should you? What if…”

He suddenly stopped talking.

The room fell quiet.

Mo Weiyi was puzzled and couldn’t help but ask him, “What ‘if’…?”

Lord Mo smiled, changing the subject, “Just before, you said you were feeling a bit feverish, do you want to see a doctor downstairs? Maybe get an IV drip? Don’t let it get worse later.”

“No need,” Mo Weiyi immediately declined, “I’ve already taken fever medicine. I should be fine after a nap.”

“That’s a relief.”

After a while, Mo Yaoxiong returned.

Lord Mo spoke, “Yebai, take Yiyi home to rest. I have servants taking care of me here. There’s no need to worry too much.”

Xiao Yebai stood, “Alright.”

Mo Weiyi had no choice but to leave with him.

With the door closed, only the father and son were left in the room.

Lord Mo’s calm, elderly voice spoke up immediately, “Find more people to keep an eye on Xu Jing. Find a reliable person from the hospital. As soon as she’s far enough along, we’ll arrange for an amniocentesis.”

“Father,” Mo Yaoxiong’s brow furrowed, “Is there really any need for all this? Yebai has been performing exceptionally at work, he treats Weiyi very well, and he’s always been filial to us, so I think…”

“What do you think? What do you understand?” Lord Mo suddenly interrupted him, “Do you know why I have never given Yebai a share of Mo Group after all these years?”

“…” Mo Yaoxiong did not speak.

Lord Mo, by nature, was suspicious. Even when his own son was managing Mo Group, he firmly held onto the shares.

Mo Group’s shares were currently split between three people. Excluding the other shareholders, Lord Mo owned the largest share, followed by Mo Yaoxiong and Mo Weiyi.

Upon returning from America, Xiao Yebai, as a son-in-law, began working from scratch at Mo Group.

Although he had an outstanding performance and quick promotions, he was still at the mercy of others and was somewhat controversial in the company.

It wasn’t until Mo Weiyi unexpectedly became pregnant with his child when she was 23 that Lord Mo immediately ordered them to get married and advanced Xiao Yebai’s position to that of CEO.

And, for that reason, despite Xiao Yebai’s significant contribution to the increase in Mo Group’s share price over the past two years, some outsiders attributed it to him using a woman to move up in the world.

“Father,” Mo Yaoxiong spoke up again, “I’ve checked, through blood tests in Hong Kong we can determine DNA…”

“Nonsense!” Lord Mo glared fiercely, “She’s only two months pregnant. What if she has a miscarriage? Can you bear that responsibility?”

Mo Yaoxiong was speechless once again.

“If it weren’t for your foolishness, getting involved with your young auntie, would I have to worry about all these arrangements? Do you think I’m doing all this for myself?”

Lord Mo’s voice, full of old age, became filled with emotion, “My life may end any day now. What am I after? I’m only concerned about the Mo Family’s business! I’m worried about you and Yiyi!

Yiyi is so naive, can you guarantee that Yebai will always be good to her?

If one day you and I are no longer here and Yebai turns out to be a traitor, do you think Yiyi can handle him? If no one is there to protect her, she probably won’t even be enough for him to play with using just one hand!

That’s why the Mo Family really needs an heir! We didn’t have one before and that was fine, but now that we do, even if there’s only a one in ten thousand chance, we must keep it!”

Mo Yaoxiong looked at his father, noticing his fingers were white from gripping his cane tightly. He wanted to say something, but decided against it, “Actually, Father…”

Lord Mo raised his hand to stop him, “If it turns out to be a girl, abort it immediately! If it’s a boy, find a place for Xu Jing to give birth, after the baby is born, send her overseas and never let her come back! This matter is settled. Before that, you are not to act rashly, restrict all information. Yiyi should not hear a word about this!”

After saying all this, Lord Mo closed his eyes out of exhaustion.

The room fell into a silence.

Mo Yaoxiong sat there, a mix of complex emotions on his face. Finally, he spoke, “I understand.”

“Leave.”

“Alright.”

Mo Yaoxiong got up, hobbling out on his crutches.

Next door, in another hospital room.

Mo Weiyi thought since she was in the hospital, she might as well visit Shi Huan.

Thankfully, there were only two servants in the room.

“Where’s the young master Chu?”

After asking, Mo Weiyi immediately complained, “Has he gone out to flirt now that you’ve agreed to marry him? This playboy, let me tell you, it’s not too late to regret it now. Do not fall into the trap!”

“No,” Shi Huan couldn’t help but laugh, “He took Luoluo to the amusement park.”

Previously, there hadn’t been much of a connection between Shi Minyan and Tu Youran and they were both busy with their work, so Luoluo was essentially being cared for by nannies, rarely going out to play.

But then Chu Xiuhuang suddenly got a beautiful five-year-old daughter, and he was gloating every day. It happened to be the weekend, and they had a nanny at the hospital, so nothing bad could happen. He gave the father and daughter some time to play and get to know each other better, to strengthen their bond.

“That’s good.” Mo Weiyi nodded, “Have you remembered anything about what happened six years ago?”

Shi Huan had previously mentioned that she lost some memory due to a brain injury.

So, nobody knew how these two got together, and the Chu Family only said they had been together for six years. Mo Weiyi didn’t believe this at all.

Shi Huan explained, “The doctor said I have a blood clot in my brain that’s compressing a nerve. If I think too much, it gives me headaches. They advised me to take it easy and that it would eventually sort itself out.”

“Right, you should just follow the doctor’s advice. Anyway, if Chu ever cheats, just tell me, and I will give him hell!”

Shi Huan: “…..”

Xiao Yebai nearby also: “…..”

“By the way, you can also tell Wanwan to let Mr. Huo take care of him!”

Xiao Yebai got up straight away, “I’m going to make a call.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Yebai closed the room door, went into the hallway outside, and looked at the message that Zhan Yao had sent on his phone.

Before long, there were footsteps in the corridor.

When he looked up, he saw Mo Yaoxiong, leaning on a crutch, exit from the hospital room ahead.

Watching the man’s hobbling figure, Xiao Yebai frowned slightly before dialing a number.

“Yebai, did you read all the messages?”

“Yeah.”

“The guy surnamed Zhou has been caught, but your uncle’s money is definitely gone. Even the factory they invested in has been sealed.”

“Yeah.”

“They invested a total of 5 million, all of which came from Mo Yaoxiong last time. This time all of it got invested and I heard the house deed was also attached, so your uncle and his family are now living in rented accommodation.”

“Yeah.”

After three consecutive replies of “Yeah”, Zhan Yao was quite annoyed, “Damn you, show some reaction.”

“Nothing, I need to hang up.”

“Damn, is that it?”

“My wife has a fever.”

As soon as he said that, Zhan Yao immediately caught on, “Then quickly take the little princess to get treatment. I’ll keep an eye on the situation in Tongcheng…”

Xiao Yebai hung up the phone straight away.

**

One hour later, the couple found themselves back at home.

Because Mo Weiyi suddenly remembered she hadn’t yet completed the homework Lu Chenyu had assigned.

After two messy case analyses last week, Lu Chenyu arranged for her to watch a law program on Nancheng TV this week. She needed to watch 10 episodes and write reviews for each one.

Each episode was 30 minutes long and she’d already wasted half the weekend without watching a single one. With work coming up on Monday, how could she go to the hospital for an IV drip?

Anyway, she’d already taken fever-reducing medicine, she should be fine, right?

So, when Mo Weiyi returned home, she spent the afternoon in bed watching the show, even continuing to watch after having dinner.

When Xiao Yebai arrived back in the room, he found Mo Weiyi flushed with a serious fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius.

“To the hospital.”

Xiao Yebai pulled off the blanket, picked her up and headed out.

With a delirious look on her face, Mo Weiyi touched her hot forehead and mumbled, “But I still haven’t finished my homework yet? My master is going to scold me tomorrow…”

“Take the day off tomorrow.”

“Huh?” Mo Weiyi stammered.

“If you take the day off, he won’t scold you.”

Mo Weiyi: “…..”

That sounded reasonable.

By the time Mo Weiyi found herself on a hospital bed for an IV drip, Xiao Yebai was on her phone, using it to call her master and ask for a day off.
