Chapter 642: Chapter 641: 641, when you die, all troubles end.

Xu Jing clenches her fingers, appearing restless, “Brother-in-law, I didn’t do it on purpose, I just didn’t expect them to suddenly come over…”

“Enough.” Mo Yaoxiong’s tone was very impatient, “What exactly do you need from me? Spit it out.”

Xu Jing looks at his face, carefully starting to speak, “Brother-in-law, that night, everything happened so suddenly, you didn’t take any precautionary measures.”

“What do you mean?”

“My period hasn’t come recently, I’m worried…”

“What did you say?” Mo Yaoxiong’s voice suddenly raised.

Xu Jing quickly explained, “But it’s only been less than a month now, so I’m just worried, I thought I should let you know…”

“Why are you telling me this?” Mo Yaoxiong’s face tightened, “Didn’t you take the morning-after pill the day after? Why has it been so long, and only now you tell me you didn’t take precautions!”

“How would I know? I’m already forty, I thought I wouldn’t get pregnant so easily!” Xu Jing also felt wronged.

Mo Yaoxiong clenched his fists tightly, too angry to speak.

Xu Jing continued, “I’m just worried now, so I wanted to tell you and prepare you mentally. If, and I mean if, I really am pregnant…”

“No!” Mo Yaoxiong interrupted directly, “Go to the gynecology department for a checkup now, if you are really pregnant, abort the child immediately!”

Looking at him, Xu Jing’s beautiful face turned white inch by inch, “What did you say?”

“What did I say? Do I need to teach you? Xu Jing, what did you promise me initially? You said you’d treat this as if it never happened! I trusted you, but what are you doing? Don’t forget, you are Xu Xian’s sister, and I am your brother-in-law! Do you want me to be the laughingstock for everyone?”

His voice was loud, and his forehead was bulging with veins. It was clear that he was very emotional, even… angry.

Xu Jing was scared and panicking, “Brother-in-law, please calm down, I’m just worried, it’s still not sure whether I’m pregnant or not…”

“Get yourself checked immediately! And let me know the results! Hear me!”

“Alright, brother-in-law, please don’t be angry, I’ll get a checkup right away.”

As she said, Xu Jing hurriedly picked up her bag, opened the door and walked out.

Outside in the corridor, Auntie Zhou, hearing the door open, hurriedly turned around, “Ms. Xu.”

Xu Jing gave a nod and left in a hurry.

Returning to the room and seeing Mo Yaoxiong’s angry look, Auntie Zhou carefully said, “Sir, what’s…”

“You go first.”

“But, dinner…”

“Just leave it here, I’ll eat it later.”

“…Okay.” Auntie Zhou could only agree.

The door closed.

Mo Yaoxiong sat alone on the bed, his thick eyebrows locked tightly together.

At this moment, he really hated his habit of drinking!

Why did he drink that night?

Why did he leave in such a hurry the next morning?

If Xu Jing was really pregnant…

Mo Yaoxiong’s body leaned back onto the pillow abruptly, squinting his sharp eyes, his expression was terribly distressed.

After an unknown amount of time, his phone finally rang.

Mo Yaoxiong quickly picked up his phone.

Upon seeing the message on the screen, his facial features tensed again.

Finally, he raised his hand abruptly.

“Crack!” The phone was thrown onto the floor, shattering instantly.

**

At the hospital entrance, two Bentley cars went their separate ways.

“It’s strange. How did auntie know that my dad was injured?”

Mo Weiyi sat in the passenger seat, her adorable face scrunched up in confusion.

She had already told Xiaoli and Auntie Zhou not to let her grandfather, old Mr. Mo, know about Mo Yaoxiong’s injury. This meant nobody at the old house knew, so who let the cat out of the bag?

Xiao Yebai quietly drove the car, his black eyes slightly narrowed, not speaking.

Mo Weiyi quickly spoke again, “She’s always so secretive. I bet she’s going to ask my dad for help with Qu Yunyao’s matter. I bet it’s about money!”

Her phone suddenly rang.

Xiao Yebai glanced at it, picked out her phone from her bag with one hand.

As Mo Weiyi waited with bated breath, he swiped and ended the call, placing the phone back in.

“Who was the call from?”

“Wrong number.” Xiao Yebai’s expression didn’t falter.

“Really?” Mo Weiyi raised an eyebrow.

Xiao Yebai cast a cursory glance, “Don’t trust me?”

“Uh..” Mo Weiyi blinked her clear cat eyes, instantly broke into a glistening smile, “So… what are we having for dinner?”

“What do you want to eat?”

Mo Weiyi said, “Auntie Zhou is still at the hospital and probably won’t be back for an hour, so shall we go to Dihong? I haven’t had their steak in a long time.”

“Okay.”

**

On the other end of the phone call.

On the corridor of the teaching building at Nancheng University, Ling Zhizhou hung up his phone.

After a while, he couldn’t resist dialing another number.

The call was quickly picked up with a cold voice on the other end asking, “What’s the matter?”

“Was it again you who arranged the assault on Weiyi?” Ling Zhizhou directly questioned.

“I’ve been on a trip to Vietnam recently, just got back.”

“You’re not lying to me?”

Contrary to his agitation, the man on the phone remained calm, “What’s wrong with Miss Mo?”

Ling Zhizhou was still a bit doubtful, “Weiyi’s hand got burned, are you sure you had nothing to do with it?”

“Do you think that, like you, I would stoop to such childish tricks?”

Color alternated between red and white on Ling Zhizhou’s handsome face, “I hope so.”

“Hehe.” The man laughed eerily, “Since you’re so concerned about her, I’ll be magnanimous and let her rest for a while.”

The call was abruptly hung up.

Ling Zhizhou, holding his phone, thought for a while before deciding to send a WeChat message to Mo Weiyi.

**

Dihong Restaurant.

A luxury western-style restaurant under the Mo Group, located in the commercial district of downtown Nancheng City. Enjoying a great reputation in Nancheng due to its Michelin-starred chefs.

At seven in the evening, the restaurant was crowded with customers.

However, when Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi entered, they still drew several glances and caught the attention of many.

The manager personally stepped forward to greet them, “Mr. Xiao, Miss Mo, please come this way.”

They followed the manager to a private room.

The order was taken quickly, and the food was served promptly.

Mo Weiyi, waiting to be fed with two bear paw buns in her hands, saw Xiao Yebai’s phone suddenly ring.

He glanced at it, put down his chopsticks, “I need to take this call outside.”

“Ah?” Mo Weiyi looked pitiful, “Who’s calling?”

He had to take the call outside!

Xiao Yebai responded casually, “Do you need me to call for a waiter to come in?”

“No, no!” Mo Weiyi quickly refused.

Being fed by a waiter would be awkward.

“Just come back to feed me quickly after the call.”

“Okay.”

“Wait a moment.” Mo Weiyi stopped him, “Can you get my phone for me?”

Xiao Yebai found her phone and placed it on the table before leaving.

Mo Weiyi quickly unlocked the screen, but realised.

Huh, the call record from earlier in the car was gone!

Upon opening WeChat, she saw a message from Ling Zhizhou sent half an hour ago and rolled her eyes in silence.

As expected, he hung up as soon as he saw Ling Zhizhou’s call.

That Xiaobai!

**

On the corridor, Xiao Yebai answered the phone, “Hello.”

“Yebai, it’s me.”

“…” Xiao Yebai didn’t reply.

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Depeng began to complain, “Yebai, I’ve really failed this time. I never expected this surefire business deal to fall through! Yebai, you must help me this time. If you don’t help me, I’m done…”

“What’s the reason this time?”

“I genuinely wanted to run a good business. I’d already secured the factory and purchased the machinery. But then, Uncle Zhou abruptly disappeared. Now, all the workers are coming to me for their wages and the bank and loan sharks are after me… There’s nowhere to hide, Yebai. Please help me. You must help me this time.”

“Where did you get the investment money?” Xiao Yebai’s tone remained calm.

“I…” Xiao Depeng was at a loss for words.

“If I remember correctly, you paid a visit to the Mo Family’s old house.” Xiao Yebai repeated, “Who gave you the money to invest?”

“Yebai, I really can’t say. I promised not to tell. A man ought to keep his word. Please help me this time. I’m really out of options, Yebai. If you don’t help me, I’ll be driven to my death…”

“Then you might as well die. Death solves all problems.” The man’s voice was cold and calm, almost icy, devoid of any sentiment.

After saying this, he didn’t wait for a response and just hung up the call.

…

Back to the private room.

Xiao Yebai had already resumed his refined and elegant demeanor.

Hearing the door open, Mo Weiyi panicked and quickly closed the WeChat app by touching the screen with her fingertip.
