Forty minutes later, Xiao Yebai arrived at the Mo Family mansion.

Like many large families in Nancheng, the Mo Family old house was nested within a vast property near the city’s fifth ring. The self-built courtyards, closely integrated with the mountains and water, housed a Western-style villa and a Chinese garden, distributed in distinct layers. It was majestic yet mysterious, showcasing the power and influence of the family.

It was dim now, near evening. The sky was dark, the black clouds imposing. The stone lion that guarded the manor gate, surrounded by lush tree-shaded roads, emanated a ferocious aura. The darkness was so severe that it was suffocating.

The black Bentley finally stopped in front of Chinese-style house.

This was where the old master of the Mo family resided.

As he entered the house, Zhang Liya’s shriek could be heard, “In all these years, my Yebai has been working as a horse for you, doing work for your company and taking care of your granddaughter. And now, when his relatives need a little help, you refuse? You aren’t afraid of people pointing fingers at your back!”

“Exactly, father-in-law, after all we are relatives…”

“Relatives?” Xiao Depeng was interrupted by a cold laugh before he could finish his sentence. Immediately afterward, the old master’s aged yet mocking voice resonated, “I wasn’t aware that the Mo family had acquired Xiao relatives.” “Father-in-law, what do you mean by that? Yebai is your son-in-law, and he is my nephew. Of course we are related.”

“Indeed, in terms of familial hierarchy, even the Mo Chairman should call us father and mother.”

“Father and mother?” Came the icy retort. “Country folk are country folk, after all. You have lived for decades and still cannot see your place. You skulk around trying to find relations to climb, without considering whether you are worthy.”

As he spotted the man who had just entered, the old master huffed. “Ten years ago, you took five million from the Mo family, executing a ‘money for good’ contract. If there was ever a relation, it was severed clean long ago.”

Xiao Depeng retorted, “Yebai has the blood of the Xiao family flowing in his veins. How can such a relationship be severed so casually?”

“Indeed, if it wasn’t for the Mo Chairman back then…”

Seeing Xiao Yebai walk in, Xiao Depeng quickly silenced his wife before she could say anything further.

“Yebai, it’s perfect timing that you’ve arrived. Your grandfather-in-law is misunderstanding the situation. Please explain it to him so he won’t continue to think that we came here intentionally to ask for money.”

Zhang Liya chimed in slyly, “Yes, Yebai. You said earlier that Chairman Mo wasn’t at the company so we came over instead.”

“So you planned it all in advance.” The old master laughed coldly and threw his teacup from the table at them.

The teacup grazed past Xiao Yebai’s forehead before it hit the ground and shattered.

Blood oozed from the man’s cut on his forehead, trickling along his handsome face. The sight terrified Zhang Liya, causing her to issue a pig-slaughter scream, “Grandfather-in-law, how can you hit people!”

“Shi Kang, blast them out of here!” The old master tightly gripped his cane, his older face filled with fury.

“Is this how the Mo family treats their relatives!”

“Yebai is your son-in-law!”

“Don’t touch me, ah… it hurts!”

The entire hall was thrown into chaos.

Xiao Yebai stood there, unmoving, allowing the blood to stream down his handsome face. He kept his eyes downcast until the two were escorted out, it was then his cold and apathetic voice emerged, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know that they would come…”

There was another clanging sound. This time, the old master threw a jade carving from the table.

“You didn’t know? Bringing Xiao Zhiwei years ago wasn’t enough, now even your parents want to come this way? Do you think this mansion is a shelter? Listen carefully, your parasitic relatives…”

“Grandfather!” A childish feminine voice interrupted urgently.

The old master furrowed his brows and raised his eyes to see his granddaughter sitting in a wheelchair being pushed in by her attendant. She looked stunning in a red dress.

“Weiyi, what are you doing here? Your foot injury…”

“Why are you bullying Xiaobai again, Grandpa!”

Before he could finish, Mo Weiyi’s furious voice interrupted, “Xiaobai is mine! If you dare to pick on him behind my back again, I will not like you anymore!” Uncle Shi’s mouth twitched at the corners.

Though at the same time, he quietly sighed in relief.

No one but the Little Princess could handle the old man’s temper.

Indeed, his granddaughter’s scolding made the old man’s face turn red, and his tone also softened, “Grandpa is angry because of those two people…”

“What has Xiaobai got to do with those two?” Mo Weiyi immediately became louder. Her beautiful eyes were accusing, “If they made you angry, and you are not happy, why didn’t you just tie them up and beat them up instead of venting your anger on Xiaobai?”

“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. They raised him for eight years…”

Mo Weiyi interrupted him again, “Xiaobai has been with us in the Mo family for a whole ten years. The Xiao couple only raised him for less than eight years. If you must blame someone, shouldn’t you find my dad instead?”

The old master fell silent.

Mo Weiyi turned her head to look at the butler, “Uncle Shi, if those two dare to come again, get the bodyguard to throw them out!”

“Yes, Princess.”

Mo Weiyi exhaled, then pushed her wheelchair toward the man.

She reached out and held his hand hanging at his side. “Xiaobai, let’s go to the hospital, you have a lot of blood on your forehead.”

Xiao Yebai twitched his eyelids, gave a slight nod to old Master Mo, “We will leave first.”

The old master Mo grimaced, keeping silent.

Clearly, he was still angry.

Mo Weiyi shook Xiao Yebai’s hand. “Xiaobai, let’s go. Never mind the stinky old man.”

Old Master Mo again:

Being referred to as a ‘stinky old man’ by his beloved granddaughter, he was quite upset!

Leaving the main hall, Xiao Yebai suddenly asked, “How did you get here?”

“My father brought me here, I don’t know where he went?” Mo Weiyi pouted her small mouth. “Why didn’t you tell me your aunt and uncle were coming?”

Xiao Yebai bent down and lifted her into the passenger seat of the Bentley, his slender and elegant hand pulling the seat belt.

Even though his face was smeared with fresh blood, his expression and actions remained unhurried, indifferent… as if nothing had just happened.

But such action only made Mo Weiyi even more heartbroken, “It’s all Xiao Zhiwei’s fault, that woman must have called my parents over, right?”

Xiao Yebai cast a glance at her, then closed the car door on her side.

He walked around the front of the car, and as he was getting on, he looked almost indifferently at the western-style villa on the left front corner.

There were two or three bodyguards standing by the gate, they were the ones who had just escorted a couple out.

In the study on the first floor of the villa.

Under the dim yellow light from the tightly closed curtains, Mo Yaoxiong pulled out a check. “This is fifteen million.”

Once he heard this number, Xiao Depeng’s eyes lit up, he strode greedily towards the check, stretching both his hands…

But Mo Yaoxiong suddenly drew his hand back.

“My dear relative…”

“Eight million, for you to pay back your debt. As for the remaining seven million, do you know what it means?”

The couple glanced at each other, then Xiao Depeng spoke, “I understand, Chairman. Don’t worry, Liya and I will definitely keep the incidents of the past a secret.”

“I’m helping you time and again precisely because of the blood relation between Yebai and you. But this time, I hope it’s the last.”

Xiao Depeng hurriedly nodded, “This time I had no other choice but to come to you. Rest assured, we are not greedy.”

“Yes, that’s right, we really had a mishap with our business this time, which left us with no one else to turn to for help.” Zhang Liya chimed in.

Mo Yaoxiong loosened his grip.

Xiao Depeng finally got the cheque.

His greedy eyes wide open, meticulously counting the zeros on the cheque.

The cold voice of Mo Yaoxiong echoed again, “I also have two conditions.”

“Go ahead Chairman.” Xiao Depeng bowed and nodded, ready to do whatever is asked, as long as he got the money.

“First, I want you to take this money and go far, far away, never to return to Nancheng.”

“You have my word, Chairman, once Zhiwei’s health is better, I’ll immediately take her back to Tongcheng to get married.”

“We will take the money and go far away.”

“You have our word.”

The couple assured repeatedly.

“Second.” Mo Yaoxiong said, “Later, I will have the bodyguards take you away, you might have to suffer a little.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liya’s face crinkled. The bodyguard had grasped her arm so hard earlier that she thought it would hurt forever…

But Xiao Depeng readily agreed, “Alright, alright, no problem, we’ll also keep tightlipped about what happened today.”

He understood Mo Yaoxiong’s intention, otherwise, he wouldn’t have secretly brought them here to give them the money..
