Chapter 535: Chapter 534: 534, intelligent women, should never obsess over trivial matters too much.

The man was dressed in black, the corner of his thin lips twisted in a wicked cold smile, “Zhizhou, how many times have I told you before, you’re not capable.”

“What does it matter to you?”

“I was also a victim. And how are you planning on revenge? Get close to her? Follow her like a puppy? Kneel and lick her feet like a dog, every day? Yet she still sees you as a little brother, is it worth it?”

“What do you know?” Ling Zhizhou gritted his teeth, “I want the Mo Family to taste the pain of losing their loved ones! I want to make them hurt! To make every single one of them endure unbearable pain, hoping for death but unable to die!”

“In that case, I can help you.”

“I don’t need your help.”

“Zhizhou, why are you always repulsed by me?” The man fixed his gaze on the young man, his words filled with contempt, “You are only eighteen, your abilities are limited. Besides, no matter how you look at it, you’re my younger brother. It should be me, your older brother, who should bear the dangerous matters.”

“No!”

“Zhizhou, don’t tell me you’ve fallen for that little princess, fear that I might hurt her?”

“…” Ling Zhizhou’s face registered uncomfortableness, he vehemently denied, “What nonsense are you talking about? That’s impossible.”

“For the best.” The man took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for himself.

Through the curling smoke, he suddenly said, “There is a birthday party in a few days. The invitees are all prominent figures from Nancheng. The Mo Family has also accepted the invitation.”

Ling Zhizhou looked at him, his face wary, “What are you planning to do?”

The man’s eyes squinted in laughter, “Create a little trouble for your little princess first.”

Ling Zhizhou: “…”

Lishui Bay Villa.

Mo Weiyi was surprised by Zhan Yao’s arrival.

Far more so by his first sentence, “Little Princess, aren’t you going to visit Yebai at the hospital?”

Mo Weiyi sank into the soft sofa, his delicate little hand holding a warm cup. His expression was lazy, his tone nonchalant, “The servants are taking care of him.”

“Really? When I was in the ward just now, there was no one there. Not even a single glass of water, it’s too desolate! Respected Mo Family’s president is sick, yet there’s no one to take care of him.” Zhan Yao exaggeratedly lamented.

Mo Weiyi felt strange but kept a placid expression, “Last night, my father arranged for two servants to take care of him. They must have gone out to buy something.”

“Really? I was in the room for nearly half an hour and didn’t see anyone,” Zhan Yao looked at Mo Weiyi, “Little Princess, you should go to the hospital and check on him. He must be waiting for you to take care of him.”

“Huh.” Mo Weiyi lifted the corners of her lips lightly, displaying a faint smile, “You can call back to Tian Ye, let her take care of him.”

His heart seemed to have sunk, Zhan Yao’s face was quite awkward, “Are you still having a misunderstanding?”

“What misunderstanding did I have?” Mo Weiyi countered.

Zhan Yao was left with no choice but to explain, “It’s all my fault. I was simply frightened by that jerk yesterday who started spitting blood after half a bottle of alcohol. I was the one who carried him to the hospital. I deliberately called Tian Ye to stir up some trouble for him. Rest assured, Yebai definitely doesn’t harbor any feelings for Tian Ye. If he did, he would have done something about it sooner, right? Now can you go and see Yebai at the hospital?”

Mo Weiyi remained silent.

Zhan Yao looked at her cold demeanor and could not help but frown, “Little Princess, has something happened between you and Yebai?”

He remembered that when he called yesterday, Mo Weiyi was in the countryside.

Moreover, recently Xiao Yebai often asked him to drink, something rather uncommon in the past.

Zhan Yao furrowed his brows, “That jerk is a like a closed book, unwilling to show his feelings, but deep down, he cares about you very much.”

Hearing these words, Mo Weiyi felt like laughing, “Are you joking?”

“Is this your reaction?” Zhan Yao raised an eyebrow, “Didn’t you know how worried Yebai was when you were in trouble? He was almost ready to sever our brotherhood, and even had Xiao Zhiwei locked up for a month, suffering quite a lot. A man who can disregard his own family for you, who doesn’t give a thought even to his own sister, do you think you don’t hold a place in his heart?”

“You mean… Xiao Zhiwei? Did she also have something to do with that incident?”

“That Song Quan used to date Xiao Zhiwei.”

“You mean Xiao Zhiwei ordered that psycho to stalk me?” Mo Weiyi was shocked.

She had thought that Xiao Zhiwei simply had a serious case of sibling love, hence disliking her and always working against her.

She never expected that she would harbor such malice toward her, even inciting that scumbag to harm her!

“That’s not all.” Said Zhan Yao, shocking her, “Another accomplice is your classmate, Li Feifei.”

“…” Mo Weiyi was at a complete loss for words.

“In this matter, it started with Xiao Zhiwei’s instigating, and then since your bodyguard crippled that scumbag, Li Feifei coupled up with him, deliberately inviting you to her birthday party, taking you to the restroom downstairs, and then letting that scumbag find you, do you understand now?”

Mo Weiyi’s face turned pale.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

No wonder.

At that time, Li Feifei intentionally called her to the downstairs restroom and immediately claimed she needed to make a phone call. When things went awry, she screamed till her throat was raw, but no one came to help her.

Mo Weiyi had her suspicions, but she instinctively didn’t want to think that people were that bad. After all, besides the incident with Aunt Jiang, she didn’t have any deep-seated resentment with Li Feifei, right? Little did she know…

“Did Yebai not tell you about all this?” Zhan Yao cursed, “I have known this guy for seven years, he has always been like this, never liking to talk much about himself. I remember when we first entered school, we shared a dormitory. It was just the two of us, but he wouldn’t speak, keeping such a low profile. If it weren’t for the fact that he aced the final exam and became the top student of the year, landed on stage as the representative of excellent students, and even received a scholarship award from the American president, I seriously thought he was Japanese. By the way.”

He twirled with admiration, “Do you know how many girls in the school liked him at that time? Your husband is so outstanding, good looking, and intelligent. No matter which country’s girl, no matter how beautiful, no matter how rich, he didn’t give anyone any attention. There were even rumors that he was gay. I was previously puzzled, wondering whether this kid was asexual? Only after we returned to China, did I realize that there was a you in Nancheng.”

Mo Weiyi looked at Zhan Yao, a bit lost as she listened.

During the years when Xiao Yebai was studying for his master’s degree in the US, coincidentally, she was in high school, at the rebellious teenage stage.

She had thought about going to America to find him several times, but each time, she never managed to make the trip.

So, hearing all this now, it felt very novel, very foreign, even… a bit unbelievable.

“Little Princess, let me give you a piece of advice. A wise woman should never overthink, especially when it comes to a man like Yebai. You have so many twists and turns in your mind, he might just think you’re baffling, or might think… that you don’t like him anymore. So whatever you have to say, just ask outright.”

“I did ask, but he wouldn’t answer.”

“Of course he won’t answer if you’re asking if he likes or loves you,” Zhan Yao couldn’t help but laugh, “Look at me, I’ve been his workhorse for so many years, done so many things, but never heard a word of thanks from him. Damn it, I don’t even know why I still want to be friends with him.”

Mo Weiyi: “…”

“Oh right, did Yebai vomit blood again last night because of you?”

Seeing Mo Weiyi’s guilty expression, Zhan Yao clicked his tongue, “I knew it. This kid is normally so calm and rarely drinks unless it’s for social occasions or when he’s with me. He drank so heavily last night, knowing very well that his stomach is not good… Although men are often self-destructive, Little Princess, the level of stress you are giving him needs to be measured. If you really anger him to death, won’t you regret it?”

Mo Weiyi hadn’t said a word when a flurry of footsteps suddenly sounded.

“It’s not good!” Aunt Zhou, still holding her cellphone, quickly said after glancing at the guests, “Princess, Old Liu said that Young Master Xiao kicked him out and even spilled the chicken soup he brought. What to do? Princess, you should quickly go to the hospital to see Young Master Xiao.”

“Is that little rascal doing this on purpose?” Zhan Yao quickly concurred, “Little Princess, I’ve already said so much, aren’t you planning to go to the hospital to see him? After all that this lousy kid has done, isn’t it just to tug your heartstrings and force you to visit him?”

Mo Weiyi said nothing but her phone rang again.

Sure enough, once she picked up, Mo Yaoxiong exploded on the other end, “Weiyi, I told you to stay in the hospital last night to take good care of Yebai, why did you go home alone? And early in the morning, you even sent the servant away. What happened? Ah?”

“I understand.” Mo Weiyi said this and then hung up the phone.

This damn man!
