Arc 3

Mo Shizong didn’t expect Ye Wei to be this shameless. Through the years, it’s not like he had never seen someone as shameless as Ye Wei before. Just…

He had met with numerous cases of ignorant shameless people, but none ever went overboard like Ye Wei. 

He just took his eyes off her for a moment and Ye Wei had flipped the situation.

Mo Shizong’s face sank but the experience formed over the years made his complexion remain calm. Still, it was evident he was not pleased. Ye Wei was naturally afraid. She shrank back, “Did I do something wrong?”

Mo Shizong snapped, “Have you forgotten that the most important thing in this business is integrity. You break your word and turn back on your part of the deal. You think you’re clever for that but the fact is actually you shot your own foot!”

Ye Wei agreed, well-mannered, “Shushu is right.”

Mo Shizong, “……”

He discovered Ye Wei was so lethal she could kill him! For a long time, no one had treated him like Ye Wei and showed him no respect.

Mo Shizong suppressed the anger in his heart, “I’m talking about you, don’t you understand?”

Ye Wei, “Shushu makes a good point, but we are not in a business right now. We are dealing with private matters, and it is an entirely different matter from a business.”

Mo Shizong, “……”   

How could there be a person this shameless?

Ye Wei at this moment was particularly irritating for him to look at. He prided himself on his noble status and wouldn’t lower himself to have a banter with a woman. He turned to Mo Yuan, “Is this your so-called girlfriend? Look at her, do you think she is suitable to be my daughter-in-law? Can she be a good wife to you? Can she help you in any way?”

Strangely, Mo Yuan’s gloomy face appeared less gloomy because of it. His gaze for Ye Wei was warm, “It doesn’t matter. She is my woman, she doesn’t need to do anything she doesn’t want to. As a man, if I can’t even handle this matter well, I shouldn’t bother to start a family. ”

Ye Wei was moved, “Mo-xiansheng you are so kind. Shushu, rest assured. For Mo-xiansheng‘s sake, I will study hard and work hard to be a qualified daughter-in-law for you, so as not to humiliate Mo-jia. “

Mo Shizong discerned his blood pressure rising, “You think too highly of yourself!”

Ye Wei said, “Shushu, believe me, I have a strong learning ability.”

Mo Shizong scorned, “Do you believe it is as easy as you say? Heh.”

Ye Wei persuaded, “Shushu, you are already old so you don’t understand. Youth is my greatest capital. Young people learn everything quickly! Shushu has experienced youth so you ought to understand this, right?”

Mo Shizong, “……”   

Mo Shizong hadn’t encountered someone who could enrage him for so long. Ye Wei was one of a kind who could constantly drive his blood pressure to rise.

“Mo Yuan, this time, you must listen to me. This woman, she will never be allowed to enter Mo-jia! I have found a more suitable candidate for marriage for you. Tomorrow, you will meet her.”

After spouting the harsh words, he flicked his sleeves and spun around. Not caring about Mo Yuan’s response.

Ye Wei hurried, “Shushu, aren’t you going downstairs? The elevator is here, you are going in the wrong direction.”

Mo Shizong, “……”   

Just go die.

All in all, in the end, Mo Shizong didn’t go downstairs with Ye Wei and Mo Yuan. He walked away without looking back.

Ye Wei watched Mo Shizong leave and cautiously tugged Mo Yuan’s sleeve, “Mo-xiansheng, Shushu seems furious. You have to protect me well.”

Mo Yuan glanced at Ye Wei. His gaze fell suspiciously on her lips.

With Ye Wei’s mouth, the living could be angered to death and the dead could be angered to life. Where did she need his protection?

Regardless, he was in a good mood so he could fulfill Ye Wei’s small demands.

He petted her head and assured her, “You are my person. As long as you listen to me, I will protect you.”

“Thank you Mo-xiansheng, Mo-xiansheng is indeed really kind!”

“Mn.”

Mo Yuan hooked his lips. He was very pleased when he thought of Mo Shizong who was clearly angry but suppressed his anger. 

The Xue Zhao in the corner of the elevator, “……”

A handsome man and a beautiful woman stood together. It should have been a very eye-pleasing scene. Yet, Xue Zhao shuddered.

His scalp was numb, even his back was drenched with cold sweat.

He used to think that Ye Wei was a simple gold worshipper. In today’s battle, he discovered that Ye Wei was not just a simple gold worshipper, she was a fighter among gold worshippers!

……

This afternoon, many saw Ye Wei hugging Mo Yuan’s arm as they walked out of the building of Mo-shi HQ. The scandalous Female Lead and Male Lead of the drama appeared together and shocked many melon eaters.

Countless small groups began to gossip again.

【What’s going on? Didn’t Ye Wei accept the five million yuan to leave Mo Yuan? If so, why did I just see Ye Wei and Mo Yuan leaving the company together?! They don’t appear like they had a quarrel!】

【You are not lying?】

【It’s real! I saw it too!】

【But hasn’t Ye Wei accepted the five million? Did she return the money?】

【Then, why is Mo-zong not angry?】

【Does Mo-zong love Ye Wei so much that he can’t extricate himself from her and can only bend to all her will?!】

【Unexpectedly, Mo-zong is so affectionate… I suddenly envied Ye Wei. Although Mo-zong is disabled, he is still rich and handsome!】

No one would ever guess that the person who should have been furious at this time was not angry in the slightest.

He even went as far as to return together with the Female Lead of this scandalous drama in public.

This was an open declaration of love to challenge Mo Shizong ah!

Mo Yu was not an exception. He was shocked when he heard the news. 

He had mixed feelings in his heart. Did he hope for Ye Wei to take the money and abandon Mo Yuan, or did he hope Ye Wei to refuse the money and stay with Mo Yuan?

No matter which it was, the result was not something he wanted to see… He didn’t want to see Ye Wei and Mo Yu together, nor did he want Ye Wei to be a woman who would listen to whoever offered her money, a woman who sought nothing but profit.

He understood that Ye Wei was no longer the Ye Wei he used to know, but he still hoped that Ye Wei could return to the clean and pure Ye Wei he once knew. 

And knowing Ye Wei didn’t take the five million to leave Mo Yuan, he was a little happy. This showed Ye Wei could still be saved.

He wished to talk to Ye Wei. At the end of the day, he had known her for ages. As her friend, he should persuade her.

“Are you still angry with me?”

Miao Shuya rarely found Mo Yu out of her own volition to reconcile, let alone when he was off duty, “If you really want to know it, I will tell you…”

“No need.”

Mo Yu shook his head, “Ye Wei is right. This is a secret between you two. If you don’t want to say it, I shouldn’t force you.”

Miao Shuya was stunned. She didn’t predict Mo Yu would change his mind. Obviously, they quarreled because of this matter, but… since Mo Yu didn’t inquire about it any longer…. 

She let out a sigh of relief.

She didn’t want to hide it from him, nor did she want to deceive him, but… At this time, she really couldn’t say it.

She didn’t know how to face Mo Yu’s questions or his reaction when Mo Yu knew the truth. He liked Ye Wei so much. If he knew, she was afraid he would hate her.

Miao Shuya hesitated and asked, “… Why do you suddenly don’t want to know?”

“Because it doesn’t matter anymore.”

Things had escalated to this point. What would a little secret change at this point?

Nothing. He and Ye Wei could no longer go back, so whether he knew it or not, it’s no longer important.

Miao Shuya guessed, “Did you also hear about Ye Wei and the chairman?”

Mo Yu hummed.

Miao Shuya comprehended at once why Mo Yu abruptly changed his mind. It turned out that it was because he was angry and he didn’t want to know the secret related to Ye Wei.

Miao Shuya wrung out a bitter smile. She thought Mo Yu had let go of Ye Wei.

Currently, the only thing in Mo Yu’s mind was Ye Wei.  He didn’t notice Miao Shuya’s unsightly face, let alone what Miao Shuya was thinking.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Ye Wei. He asked her to meet him. 

Ye Wei responded fast: No.

Mo Yu: I want to talk to you. Don’t worry, it’s not about the matter between us.

Ye Wei had a very serious question: Then, except for that, what do we have to talk about?

Mo Yu choked, even across the screen Ye Wei could infuriate him.

Mo Yu: I heard that the chairman offered you five million. If you refuse the chairman, it’s equivalent to offending him. He won’t allow you to be with Mo Yuan. If you continue to stay with Mo Yuan, there will be no good results.

Ye Wei was baffled. What point was Mo Yu making?

She kneaded her forehead for a while. Then, she leaned on Mo Yuan’s shoulder to show him the message, “You see, even Mo Yu knows that I won’t have a good life in the future because of this. Mo-xiansheng, I have sacrificed too much for you. You must protect me.”

Mo Yuan side-eyed her with his poker face.

Those lifeless eyes of his appeared especially terrifying at this moment.

……Fine.

Ye Wei continued to reply: I did not refuse the chairman.

Mo Yu wondered, did not refuse? 

But… she didn’t leave Mo Yuan? 

She didn’t leave him, didn’t that count as a refusal?

It definitely didn’t count as a refusal.

Ye Wei: I left, but I returned.

Mo Yu wondered even more: ……??? What’s going on here?

Ye Wei was straightforward: Mo-xiansheng gave me ten million yuan and told me not to leave him.

So you returned, just like that?

Ye Wei didn’t say that in her text, but Mo Yu connected the dot.

Mo Yu who wanted to persuade Ye Wei to change her ways, “………………???!!”

He staggered and his legs became soft. Fortunately, he didn’t let himself sink in disgrace by holding onto the wall.

His movements were conspicuous and Miao Shuya looked over, “What’s wrong with you? Be careful.”

Mo Yu was dazed, a bit sluggish. He was stricken dumb. He darted at Miao Shuya, then to his phone. He could recognize the words on the phone just fine. How could he not recognize it when he had connected the dot?

He rubbed his forehead. 

No, no. Maybe there was something wrong with his eyes. 

Mn, that’s right, that must be it…

Ye Wei didn’t know what kind of shock she had delivered to Mo Yu. Mo Yu didn’t reply to her for a long time after that, so she tossed him out of her mind. 

She was delighted when she thought of her bulging little vault.

Today’s harvest was plenty. This time, her work was not in vain!

She makes 15 million yuan in a day.

What a madlad.

Learn from Yin Nanzhao from “The Memory Lost in Space”. “He never scolds people.” Chen Sha’s words were very honest. Except, the latter half of his sentence was omitted, “He is the kind that beat people directly to the hospital.”!

Talking is overrated, anyway.

If you like what I do please consider buying me ko-fi! Who needs sleep, anyway. I don’t offer Advanced Chapters like Lyre yet, but you are free to water this thirsty cat!
