When Su Lanxu received Xu Youyou’s message, she did not even put on her makeup. She only changed into a dress before she came over. As soon as she took a seat, she said sarcastically, “Did the sun set in the east today? You, who prioritize men over friends, actually remembered me!”

Xu Youyou quickly poured Su Lanxu a glass of beer and said, “When did I forget you? It’s just that too many things have happened recently.”

Su Lanxu knew that Xu Youyou’s grandmother had passed away and that something seemed to have happened to Mo Zhiyun recently. Her complaints were mostly to tease Xu Youyou, and she did not hold a grudge at all. She said, “Look at your smiling face! I don’t need to ask to know that you must be having a good time with Mo Shenbai.”

‘Forget it. It’s fine as long as she’s happy.’

“No way!” Xu Youyou denied it immediately. She rolled up her sleeve and showed her arm to Su Lanxu before she said, “I got into a car accident and injured my arm. I’ve been recuperating.”

“Car accident?!” Su Lanxu’s expression turned solemn immediately. She looked at the scar on Xu Youyou’s arm and asked, “Wasn’t it Zhiyun who was involved in a car accident? You were in the car as well?! Why didn’t you tell me?!”

Xu Youyou rolled her sleeves down before she said with a faint smile, “I didn’t want you to worry. Moreover, I’m fine now.”

Xu Youyou decided to tell Su Lanxu now because she did not want Su Lanxu to find out from another person in the future. At that time, Su Lanxu would definitely be sad and misunderstand her.

Su Lanxu wanted to pat Xu Youyou’s arm but quickly changed to pat Xu Youyou’s shoulder. She said, “In the future, you must tell me at once about such a big matter. Don’t hide it from me. Otherwise, I’ll be angry at you!”

Xu Youyou nodded. “Okay, I promise to tell you immediately in the future.”

“That’s more like it.” Su Lanxu withdrew her hand and took a big sip from her glass. “By the way, how’s Zhiyun?”

Xu Youyou’s eyes darkened immediately as she said with a hint of dejection, “She’s severely injured. She might not be able to stand up again in the future.”

Su Lanxu was stunned. A hint of pity flashed in her eyes. She rested her chin on one hand as she toyed with the glass of beer with the other hand. She said, “She’s lucky to have survived the accident. Moreover, Lu Heyun is with her now. It can be considered as having her wish fulfilled.”

“But she’s only 18 years old! She’s going to have to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair,” Xu Youyou said. She felt distressed when she thought about such a bright and beautiful young girl having to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.

Su Lanxu did not want Xu Youyou to be sad so she deftly changed the topic and asked, “Oh, right. Where’s your Mr. Bai? Is he at the hospital?”

Su Lanxu thought Mo Shenbai must have gone to the hospital to take care of Mo Zhiyun since he was not with Xu Youyou.

“Xie Yumu is sick so he’s gone to take a look,” Xu Youyou replied.

“Xie Yumu?! Yun Youwei’s son?!” Su Lanxu exclaimed in shock.

Xu Youyou nodded. “That’s right.”

“She’s still pestering Mo Shenbai?” Su Lanxu smacked the table angrily as she said, “Doesn’t she have any sense of shame? Doesn’t she know that Mo Shenbai is married? She’s always pestering him. She’s really too shameless!”

The loud smack attracted everyone’s attention.

Xu Youyou hurriedly assured Su Lanxu. “Lanlan, calm down. I’m not angry so don’t be angry, okay? It’s not good for your health.”

Su Lanxu looked at her with a disappointed expression. “You’re not angry because you’re stupid! That hypocrite is trying to seduce your man. How can you still have the mood to eat?”

Someone wanted to ruin the couple that she had helped matchmake. How could Su Lanxu not be angry?

“Don’t worry. Even if she’s the greatest beauty in the world, she still won’t be able to seduce my Mr. Bai,” Xu Youyou said confidently.

Su Lanxu leaned back and looked at Xu Youyou. “Do you trust your Mr. Bai so much?”

“Mmm.” A smile appeared on her delicate face as she said, “I trust Mr. Bai. If he likes Yun Youwei, they would’ve been together a long time ago. How could it be my turn?”

Xu Youyou had met Mo Shenbai later than Yun Youwei after all. If those two liked each other, they would have been together and not waited until now.

Su Lanxu thought about it for a moment before she said, “But she called Mo Shenbai over at this time of the night, she’s obviously trying to cause trouble for you!”

Women knew women the best.

Xu Youyou knew, but she did not care. She ate with relish as she said, “I don’t care if she keeps trying. After all, Mr. Bai doesn’t even show her a good expression. She’s causing trouble for herself, not me.”

…

When the car came to a stop, Mo Shenbai was not in a hurry to get out of the car. He seemed to be waiting for something or someone as he sat in the car.

About half an hour later, a flashy car sped over and stopped next to Mo Shenbai’s car.

Xu Jialu wore a displeased expression on his face as soon as he got out of the car. He asked indignantly, “F*ck! Why did you call me here so late at night?”

It was rare for Xu Jialu to have free time. He had finished having dinner with his parents and was just about to go out and have fun when he was called here.

Mo Shenbai, who had rolled the car window down, looked at Xu Jialu, who exuded the ‘I’m in heat’ aura, before he said calmly, “Xie Yumu is sick.”

“That’s none of my business,” Xu Jialu said, puzzled.

“Yun Youwei called me to come over to have a look at the child.”

“F*ck!” Xu Jialu cursed as realization dawned on him. He said, agitated, “So is this where that fake woman lives?! You dare to f*cking come here? Where’s my Youyou?”

“She’s the one who insisted I come,” Mo Shenbai said with a smile that did not reach his eyes.

Xu Jialu feigned a cough and scratched his nose with an embarrassed expression on his face before he said, “My Youyou has always been kind and innocent. She doesn’t understand the wicked ways of the world or the evil in people’s hearts. However, you should f*cking understand it! That hypocrite Yun Youwei is clearly eyeing you like a predator. If you see her today, she’ll only become more outrageous in her actions!”

A hint of impatience flashed in Mo Shenbai’s eyes as he said, “It’s not suitable for me to go alone at night. Hence, you should come with me.”

“F*ck! It’s not suitable for you to go, but is it suitable for me to go?! Don’t you know I’m allergic to that kind of fake woman?” Xu Jialu grew incensed when he thought about that hypocritical woman.

Xu Jialu had a short temper. He really did not have patience for women who liked to pretend to be weak and cry.

“Year-end bonus...”

‘F*ck!’

Before Mo Shenbai could finish speaking, Xu Jialu said righteously, “This matter concerns my brother-in-law’s reputation and my sister’s happiness. Of course, I have to help.”

‘F*ck, you’re so ruthless, you old dog!’

Mo Shenbai got out of the car. He placed his hands on his back before he said with an insincere smile on his face, “Sorry to trouble you, Brother-in-law.”

“You’re too polite, you’re too polite… We’re a family, after all…”

‘Damn it! If it’s not because of the year-end bonus, I’d kill you!’

…

When Yun Youwei heard the doorbell ring, she opened the door. She was delighted when she saw Mo Shenbai. However, her eyes darkened when she saw Xu Jialu from the corners of her eyes. “Why are you here?”

A wicked smile appeared on Xu Jialu’s handsome face as he said, “Why? Don’t you welcome me? Are you afraid that I’ll ruin your plan?”

Yun Youwei frowned slightly.

Before Yun Youwei could respond, Mo Shenbai asked coldly, “Where’s Xie Yumu?”
