Chapter 739: 739, a husband as good as the Twenty-four Filial Exemplars!
“Yebai, you’ve been in the Mo family for nearly eleven years. Indeed, they adopted you and gave you the best life and education. But haven’t you done quite a bit for them over these years? Even more than they have given you, right?”
“But what exactly does the Mo family see you as? You started at the bottom when you joined the Mo Family, earning the lowest basic salary. After you married the Little Princess and beca the CEO of Mo Family, you had to manage all affairs, big or small, of the entire Mo Group. Without you, the Mo family would never have been this successful.”
“Furthermore, even if you are not their son-in-law but just a senior executive, shouldn’t they grant you so shares? They’re even trying to hide from you now and secretly have their own grandson, huh.”
Zhan Yao sneered coldly, “Don’t you get it? To them, you, Xiao Yebai, are just a tool to make money. As soon as that child is born, the old man only needs to transfer his shares. Will the Mo Family still need you? You’ve been working for the Mo Family for all these years, paving the way for that child, and in the end, you won’t get anything.”
“…”
The room was dead silent.
Zhan Yao was looking at Xiao Yebai.
After saying all those heartfelt words, apart from a slightly tense face and a serious expression, he had not responded in any way.
Zhan Yao felt like he was more worried than Xiao Yebai himself.
Wrong!
Spit it out!
What eunuch?
He imdiately continued, “If that woman Xu Jing could get the old man to agree to keep her grandchild, I’m sure she has been doing a lot of scheming behind your back.”
“I can guarantee that she wants more than just giving birth to a child. She might also be looking to climb up the ladder.”
“And pregnancy is sothing that will be noticed sooner or later. She’s not showing right now, but once she does, what if the Little Princess finds out, or what if the old man and Mo Yaoxiong negotiate before then? There are plenty of ways to make the Little Princess accept this little brother. By then, you will truly be at a disadvantage.”
Zhan Yao dissuaded earnestly, “Bro, trust . Take your decision soon and deal with it. That will put an end to it.”
Xiao Yebai grinned in mockery. “Put an end to it?”
Can it guarantee that there won’t be a second one after solving one?
Zhan Yao naturally understood his aning, “But since the Little Princess’s mother died, Mo Yaoxiong has been clean all these years.”
Xiao Yebai raised his eyebrows.
That was true.
Xu Xian had died of depression, and Mo Weiyi was particularly sensitive about mistresses. Whether or not Mo Yaoxiong was truly ‘clean’, no other won had appeared by his side for many years except for drinking and rrymaking.
He squinted, his tongue slowly touching his cheek, his expression thoughtful.
Suddenly.
“Check Xu Jing’s pregnancy test information.”
“Why check this?”
“Also check out this person nad Qu Zhizun.”
“Who is this?” Zhan Yao imdiately beca more confused.
Xiao Yebai explained, “He is Xu Jing’s ex-husband.”
Xu Jing’s ex-husband?
Does he have anything to do with this?
Zhan Yao didn’t understand, but seeing his friend’s expression, he still nodded in agreent, “Alright.”
The phone on the table suddenly rang.
Xiao Yebai picked it up, glanced at it, and answered.
“Weiyi.”
Whatever was said on the other end of the phone, the man’s originally serious expression softened slightly.
He replied, “I’m having dinner with a friend.”
“…”
“Okay, send a ssage when you’re done, and I’ll co to pick you up.”
He hung up the phone and saw Zhan Yao’s teasing look.
“Tsk, tsk, such a dutiful husband, even personally picking her up. Doesn’t Little Princess have a driver?”
Xiao Yebai withdrew his gaze and picked up the tablet on the table, “Call your trusted one over to dine.”
“No need, she and I have already eaten.”
All the ss on this table is all thanks to Gu Dazhuang!
Xiao Yebai quirked an eyebrow, casually ordered a couple of dishes.
Zhan Yao took out a lighter, had just lit his cigarette, when there was a knock at the door.
“Co in!”
The waitress ca in, “Sorry, is there a Miss Gu who is your friend? She’s beating soone up in the next room…”
“Damn it!” Zhan Yao stood up abruptly.
**
10 minutes later.
“Sir, I’m sorry, really sorry!”
“We underestimated you!”
“Forgive us this ti!”
“We really didn’t do anything!”
“We are innocent…”
Several skinny guys were crouching in the corner of the room, covering their heads with their hands. Each of them had a battered face and kept apologizing.”
That’s strange!
Just looking at a pretty little girl, they just wanted to tease her because they were bored. Who knew she had no sense of humor and was unexpectedly strong? She beat them up and said she was going to sue them for assaulting a police officer!
Xiao Yebai turned to look at the bespectacled, suit-clad gentleman on the side, “Lawyer Lu?”
Lu Chenyu was holding his chin with one hand and wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with the other, remaining silent.
One, it hurt too much.
Two, he didn’t know what to say.
All he could think of was a stampede of ten thousand alpacas inside his mind.
Dammit!
Where do enemies not co across each other?
And this little girl, looking so delicate, who would’ve thought she’s a cop.
I wish I hadn’t acted the hero earlier.
Giving myself grief for nothing.
Xiao Yebai slowly curled his lips, “Never thought that Lawyer Lu, despite his frail body, could still act the hero. Truly worthy of being Nancheng’s top lawyer.”
At these words, Lu Chenyu’s handso face imdiately darkened.
Opened his mouth to say sothing, but moving his lips caused him pain, and he hissed.
Better not to talk then.
Zhan Yao by his side busily glanced at…a certain area.
As for Gu Dazhuang…
“So you’re a lawyer.”
She blinked her cute, large eyes, “Really, thank you earlier, even though you didn’t help much.”
Rather, you were in the way.
Cough, cough.
Lu Chenyu closed his eyes, covered his mouth with his hand, and turned to leave.
“Lawyer Lu,” Xiao Yebai stopped him again.
Lu Chenyu halted his steps, and turned around.
“Weiyi’s already bought you a replacent for the item she broke. I’ll have her deliver it to you tomorrow.”
Lu Chenyu’s pupils spasd for a mont then gave a nod with a deadpan expression.
…
After wiping his mouth, he went back to the private room.
Lu’s father looked at his son, “Why do you look like a frostbitten eggplant? What happened to you?”
“What could have happened to him? He’s just too thin, too weak, hardly exercises! Co, eat more!” said Lu’s mother as she scooped a large oyster into Lu Chenyu’s bowl.
Lu Chenyu: “…”
Just how weak am I?
**
Monday.
At 10 a.m., as soon as she saw Lu Chenyu passing by the door, Mo Weiyi promptly got up, carrying a bag, and followed him out.
…
As soon as Lu Chenyu settled into his seat.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
“Co in.”
“Master.”
Mo Weiyi walked in, her eyes crinkling into a smile, with a dainty little bag in her hand, “This is the dish I broke last ti, I made a special purchase and got you an identical one.”
“Got it, you may leave now.” Lu Chenyu didn’t even lift his head.
“Master, aren’t you going to take a look?” Mo Weiyi asked him.
Lu Chenyu continued to not raise his head, “No need, your husband told about it yesterday.”
“My husband?” Mo Weiyi wrinkled her little nose, “When did you guys et?”
Lu Chenyu massaged his temples.
Why is she so pedantic?
“Master? What are you waiting for, tell !”
Left with no choice, he said, “et him last night at dinner, your husband was having dinner with two cops.”
“Two cops?” Mo Weiyi beca more curious.
Xiao Yebai said yesterday that he was having dinner with a friend, and he seed to have only one friend, Zhan Yao, right?
Zhan Yao is indeed a cop, but why were there two cops?
“Master, my husband…”
Lu Chenyu raised his head, slapped the desk, and said, “Two cops, a man and a woman, and the woman was pretty good looking. Now out!”
Mo Weiyi jumped in fright, “Master, what happened to your mouth?”
Lu Chenyu: “…”
**
Back to the office, Mo Weiyi sat in her chair, a phone in one hand and her chin resting on the other, her eyes trained on the phone screen.
“Xiaobai, did you co across my master at dinner last night?”
Maybe he was busy at work, Xiao Yebai didn’t reply till noon.
Just one word, “Hmm.”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
He really ran into him?
After pondering for a bit, she continued to ask, “He said you were with two cops? Did sothing happen?”
“Hmm, a bit of personal business.”
Mo Weiyi again: “…”
Just as she was thinking of how to ask more, Su Wanwan called, “Weiyi, co down. I’m downstairs at your law firm.”
“Okay.”
It was Su Wanwan’s first day at Marver, which was near the Yurui Law Firm. From now on, they could have lunch together every day.
