âReally? True?â
âPresident Xiao and a woman are doing that sort of thing in the back garden?â
âIt canât be right?â
âExactly, today is Mo Familyâs anniversary!â
âSeriously, why now of all times?â
âQuick, letâs go check it out!â
âHurryâ¦â
Just as everyone was wildly speculatingâ¦
âWhat happened?â A commanding baritone suddenly rang out.
Everybody was taken aback.
Mo Weiyi let out an internal cheer, quickly turned around and said, âXiaobai!â
Xiao Yebai was standing in the corridor at the back, still in his previous black suit, his thin lips tightly pressed together. Under the dim light, his stunning features held a distant air.
Mo Weiyi ran up to him, clung to his arm, tilted her head, looked into his eyes sweetly yet pitifully and asked, âWhere did you go just now?â
âI had a bit of alcohol just now then suddenly felt dizzy, so I went to the back for some rest. However, your noise woke me up,â Xiao Yebai explained lightly.
Mo Weiyi nodded.
So that was it.
âDirector Xu.â Xiao Yebaiâs gaze landed on Xu Rui, his tone indifferent as usual, âWhat happened?â
Xu Rui was completely stunned.
Why did Xiao Yebai come from there?
Who then was the man with Qu Yunyao?
His back felt cold and eerie. In the next second, he abruptly turned around, forcefully pushed his way through the crowd, and rushed in.
Caught in the middle of a swarm of reporters were two people scrambling and flustering.
Zhang Dechang was trembling in the cold wind.
Qu Yunyao, as for her, her white evening gown had been completely torn into shredsâ¦
Her face and limbs were littered with various injuries, the most terrifying of which was that she was bleedingâ¦
âWho on earth are these two people?â
âTheyâre shameless!â
âAre they actually bleeding?â
âHave they taken some kind of drug?â
âThe Mo family is so unlucky, how could they invite such guests?â
âIt is completely embarrassing!â
ââ¦â
Xu Rui rushed over, seized the manâs collar, and rained punches down on him.
He was furious.
He had seen Xiao Yebai drink the spiked drink. He had waited until it took effect before rushing back to summon Qu Yunyao.
Heâd planned and arranged for so long, thinking tonight he could achieve his goal, but nowâ¦
A fat pig who ran out stole his thunder?
His fury transformed into punches that pounded ruthlessly into the manâs face with no restraint.
Being seized in the act had scared Zhang Dechang to the point of nearly fainting. Being photographed by so many reporters, he felt guilty and terrified. He had absolutely no ability to resist.
Soon, his face turned a violent purple and red from the beating, eyes swollen, nose bleeding profusely.
Qu Yunyao was desperately holding onto bits of fabric.
Ashamed and embarrassed, coupled with a painful stomach, she wished she could find a hole and crawl into it.
Where could she hide? People were all around her and news reporters were filming with their cameras while security officers were lighting up the place with torches.
âYunyao?â
Qu Yunyaoâs heart skipped a beat. Looking up, she saw Xu Jing standing there in shock.
Standing beside her was Mo Yaoxiong. Further away stood the indifferent Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi.
Itâs all overâ¦
Qu Yunyao couldnât even think. Tears flooded her eyes as she cried out, âMom, you have to stand up for me â¦â
Xu Jing rushed forward and held her daughter tight.
Then she glared at Zhang Dechang, accusing him angrily, âAre you even human? My daughter is pregnant! How dare you take advantage of someoneâs vulnerability! Youâre no better than an animal!â
The onlooking guests suddenly broke out into an uproar.
âIs she pregnant?â
âSo she was forced by this man?â
âDid this man take some drugs?â
âEven going after pregnant women?â
âItâs pitiful!â
âSheâs really unfortunateâ¦â
âCall the police and arrest this arrogant jerk!â
ââ¦â
Mo Weiyi clung to Xiao Yebaiâs arm, her face pale with fright.
Although sheâd always disliked Qu Yunyaoâs hypocritical behavior, witnessing her attacked by such a disgusting man while she was pregnant, made her pity her.
Mo Yaoxiong immediately instructed the bodyguard, âTie up the man and take him to the police station!â
The bodyguard immediately stepped forward and took hold of Zhang Dechang.
Zhang Dechang caught sight of Mo Yaoxiong as if heâd suddenly been shocked awake, he cried out loudly, âChairman, itâs a misunderstanding! She started it. I didnât force her. Really, I didnât! Chairman, Chairman, let me explainâ¦â
Xu Jingâs eyes reddened with fury, âYou shouldnât slander someone! My daughter is three months pregnant, how could she possibly seduce you? You clearly had ill intentions. Youâre no better than an animal!â
Zhang Dechang shouted desperately, âThe child in her womb is mine!â
âWhat did you say?â Xu Jing widened her eyes.
Qu Yunyao was even more terrified, her face turning pale.
The spectators once again set off an uproar:
âWhat on earth is going on?â
âStill messing around while pregnant, how shameless!â
âI see sheâs bleeding!â
âTheyâre simply disgraceful!â
âHow unfeelingâ¦â
