Chapter 619: Chapter 618: 618, accompany the Little Princess shopping

Mo Yaoxiong felt guilty, always feeling that it was his fault that led to the tragedy.

Moreover, later he found out that Xu Jing’s marriage was also unhappy, her husband had a tendency towards domestic violence and their business was suffering losses.

Therefore, to make up for his past mistakes, and the guilt in his heart, over the years, he has often secretly helped Xu Jing.

He didn’t expect that now…

“Brother-in-law.” Xu Jing’s voice brought Mo Yaoxiong out of his past.

“You should take a shower first, and then I will have the driver take you back. We will act as if this incident has never happened. You can rest assured, the neighbours next door always leave early and come back late, no one will notice your presence.”

Xu Jing’s arrangements were very thoughtful.

This only made Mo Yaoxiong feel even more ashamed.

However, at the moment, he had no time for further contemplation. Wrapping a bedsheet around his body, he got out of bed and went to the bathroom.

After the door closed, the sound of running water could be heard. The woman sitting on the bed looked at the semi-transparent bathroom door and smiled eerily.

Bathroom.

While taking a shower, Mo Yaoxiong felt something prickling on his neck.

Looking in the mirror, he discovered a scratch on his neck, as if it was made by a fingernail.

Right in the center of his neck, it was very noticeable.

Mo Yaoxiong’s brow immediately furrowed.

This Xu Jing…

After showering, Mo Yaoxiong put on the clothes he wore yesterday, quickly left and went downstairs.

The black Audi was still parked in the same place.

The urgent knocking on the window woke Xiaoli from his sleep.

Seeing Mo Yaoxiong outside, he quickly unlocked the door.

Mo Yaoxiong got into the back seat, his voice clearly tired, “Back to the old house.”

“Yes, sir.”

Xiaoli didn’t dare to say another word and drove out of the housing complex.

All the way, Mo Yaoxiong didn’t speak, leaning his head against the black leather seat, as if resting his eyes.

Just as they pulled into the driveway of the Mo Family’s old house, Mo Yaoxiong suddenly opened his eyes and spoke, “Xiaoli, last night’s incident was an accident, do you understand what I’m saying?”

“Sir, I understand.” Xiaoli answered nervously.

Mo Yaoxiong nodded, pushed open the car door and got out.

The time was 8 a.m.

The early spring in Nancheng, the sky was already bright at this hour.

Compared with the gloomy weather of the previous day, today was sunny with blue skies and white clouds, the air was very refreshing.

Yet Mo Yaoxiong walked with heavy steps, his brow furrowed.

He didn’t return to the old man’s room of the Mo family, intending to go directly to his villa. But as soon as he came out of the garage, he bumped into Xiao Yebai coming from the other side.

“Dad.”

Mo Yaoxiong’s expression obviously stiffened, “Yebai, why are you up so early?”

Xiao Yebai lightly hooked his thin lips, “Dad, where are you coming back from?”

“Oh.” Mo Yaoxiong’s eyes flickered, quickly saying, “I had a gathering with a few friends last night and accidentally drank too much. Afraid of disturbing your rest if I came back late, I stayed at the hotel.”

Xiao Yebai nodded.

His expression and tone were very bland, but Mo Yaoxiong inexplicably felt nervous and immediately changed the subject, “Is Yiyi still asleep?”

“It’s still early, let her sleep a little longer.” Xiao Yebai said, glancing at his watch, “Dad, I’m off to the company now.”

“Okay, be careful on the way.” Mo Yaoxiong finished speaking and turned around to leave.

He walked away quickly.

Xiao Yebai stood at the garage and narrowed his eyes, his gaze lingering on Mo Yaoxiong’s retreating figure for several seconds.

If he hadn’t seen wrong, there was a noticeable scratch on Mo Yaoxiong’s neck.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It looked like it was made by a woman’s fingernails.

On the second of March, Nancheng University officially started the semester.

There were fewer courses for the second semester of junior year. Most students had already found internships during the winter break, and the number of students attending classes had dropped by nearly half.

After the first law class in the morning, the class president came over.

“Weiyi, have you found an internship yet?”

“No.”

“Do you have any direction? If not, do you want to try Yurui with us?”

“Yurui?”

Even though Mo Weiyi didn’t go to college often, as a law student, he had heard of the illustrious Yurui Law Firm.

After all, it was the most famous law firm in Nancheng and also an enterprise under the Lu family.

It employed all the hotshot lawyers in the city, with branches located all over the country.

It was said that as long as you could secure the help of a lawyer from the Yurui Law Firm, even the most difficult cases could be solved in an instant.

Especially the resident headliner, Lu Chenyu. Since the commencement of his career, he’d never lost a case and boasted the reputation of “Nancheng’s top gold-medal lawyer”.

However, the man was somewhat mysterious. Aside from his occasional court appearances, he seldom showed up at public events.

And whenever he did appear, he was essentially always with his good buddy, Chu Xiuhuang.

The two were very close. Whenever they were spotted, it was either at the Huangyou Group’s premises or various clubs, hotels, and entertainment venues.

As time passed, rumors began to circulate online about their alleged homosexual relationship; there were even fans calling them a perfect couple. Even Lu Chenyu himself often reposted related articles on Weibo.

In short, he led an extremely chaotic personal life!

Mo Weiyi immediately responded, “Sure.”

“Then great. Tomorrow morning, Mr. Hu will take us for the interview. You should get ready to come with us. Remember to dress somewhat formally.”

“Formally?”

Mo Weiyi pondered, what counts as formal anyway?

Most of her wardrobe consisted of skirts. Before the New Year, she had bought heaps of leisure sportswear for morning runs with Su Wenwen. Now, it seemed she would have to buy some office clothing.

Just do it!

She first sent a message to Xiao Yebai, “Xiaobai, what do you think about me interning at Yurui this semester?”

Xiao Yebai’s response arrived around noon, “Good.”

Good?

That’s it?

Shouldn’t he have said, “Wifey, come and intern at the Mo Family?”

Mo Weiyi pouted.

Forget it.

In reality, she didn’t really want to intern at the Mo Family. After all, for a law student, interning at a law firm was undoubtedly where growth was the fastest.

Once she finished lunch, Mo Weiyi called Su Wanwan, asking her to join for a shopping spree.

Who knew …

“I don’t have time, I’m at the TV station.”

“Ah, school’s in session, you’re still going to the TV station?”

Su Wanwan replied, “My course load is lighter this semester, so I’ll be working at the TV station most of the time. I can’t accompany you.”

“Alright then.”

But shopping alone just wouldn’t be fun.

Xiaobai was at work, and Rong An wouldn’t have a clue what’s good.

After some thought, Mo Weiyi called Chu Xiuhuang.

Noon, at the headquarters of the Huangyou Group.

Shi Huan was about to get up for lunch, when suddenly …

“Good afternoon, Mr. Chu.”

“Mr. Chu, hello.”

Shi Huan hurriedly lifted her head, “Mr. Chu.”

Chu Xiuhuang came in with lips slightly pursed, “Little Huanhuan, go to the World Trade Plaza.”

“Certainly.” Shi Huan immediately agreed, “Is it an event arrangement?”

“Yeah.” Chu Xiuhuang replied without changing his expression, “Accompany the little princess on a shopping spree.”

Shi Huan was taken aback, “Pardon?”

…

At one-thirty in the afternoon, at the World Trade Plaza.

Shi Huan arrived at the rendezvous at the shopping mall’s entrance, only to see Mo Weiyi already standing there.

As always, Mo Weiyi stood out and was eye-catching in her attire; the seaweed-like half-length curly hair and the oversized vintage sunglasses that covered her entire face. Her fair skin and seductive red lips drew the attention of people around her.

A short distance from her stood Rong An, dressed in a simple black suit, a coat of the same color, his expressionless face hidden behind sunglasses.

Their demeanor made it feel as if they were filming a movie titled “The Princess and Her Bodyguard”.

Having spotted Shi Huan, Mo Weiyi immediately removed her sunglasses, revealing a pretty face perfect as a plastic surgery specimen, “Little Huanhuan! You’re finally here!”

Shi Huan quickly walked over, “Miss Mo.”

“Why do you still call me Miss Mo?” Mo Weiyi pouted, “How many times do I have to tell you, if you keep saying that, I will get mad!”

“Um, Weiyi.” Shi Huan had to correct herself.

There was no other way; she always felt that Mo Weiyi and Chu Xiuhuang were similar; high-profile, beautiful, and arrogant.

They naturally exuded an aura of superiority.

As she was used to working under Chu Xiuhuang, every time she saw Mo Weiyi, she couldn’t help but call her “Miss Mo”.

“Yeah, call me Weiyi from now on, or Yiyi, either is fine.”

Mo Weiyi casually looped an arm around hers. “Here’s the situation. I plan to intern at a law firm. They require us to wear formal clothes, so I thought I’d ask Chu for a favor and have you come shopping with me to buy suitable clothes. You needn’t worry, you’ll still get your regular wages for today. I’ve already confirmed this with Chu.”

“You could have asked me directly, there was no need to trouble Mr. Chu.” Shi Huan replied immediately.
