Chapter 524: 524, Mo Weiyi curls his lips into a bright and mocking smile.
Mo Weiyi kept her eyes on her the whole time.
The young and beautiful girl, with no makeup at the moment, had a face as delicate as a painting, so fresh and tender that it made others envious.
A certain pride and aloofness were intrinsic in her brows and eyes. She held herself superior to all, intimidating and dominant even when facing elders.
Finally, she articulated her words slowly, “Auntie, do you think Yunyao doesn’t know who the father of the child in her belly really is?”
“Since the child belongs to Manager Zhang, why didn’t she abort it?”
“She doesn’t even like that man, why would she want to keep a child from a man she loathes?”
“What exactly does she want to achieve by keeping the child?”
“Enduring the violation of a strange man and worrying that struggling might harm the child? Huh.”
“Is she a saintly white lotus not killing any life?”
“Is she the stupid one? Or do you seriously believe your own daughter is that naive and kind-hearted?”
The succession of confrontational questions made Xu Jing’s heart tremble.
She licked her dry lips and could only say, “Actually, I’m not very clear about it either. If you really want to know, you can directly call Yunyao or… ask Yebai.”
“Huh.” Mo Weiyi smirked, her laugh was both bright and mocking.
It was clear that Xu Jing was hiding some facts, the reasons were apparent.
“Don’t overthink it. While it is true Yunyao likes Yebai, I believe Yebai wouldn’t do anything to hurt you.”
Upon hearing these words, Mo Weiyi’s smile became even more derisive.
She suddenly didn’t know who to trust anymore.
Recently, she had discovered that the man she had trusted the most in the past decade, was concealing so many things from her.
What else hasn’t he told her?
Does he think she’s really that stupid? Naive? Easily fooled?
Mo Weiyi didn’t reply. She turned around and walked straightly into the bedroom with a stiff back.
The door was slammed shut with a “pop.”
Then, there was a heavy, deathly silence.
The sound of the door closing startled Xu Jing so much that a layer of cold sweat appeared on her back. When she recovered, she found the old Mrs. Xu was looking at her.
Although the old lady was high in her years, her eyes were still sharp. The angry gaze was intimidating.
Her tone was clearly upset, “Xu Jing, why are you talking about these things with Weiyi?”
Xu Jing bit her lips. She looked pitiful and innocent. “Mom, wasn’t I just afraid… that the affairs of the past year would leak?”
As expected, this left old Mrs. Xu slightly stunned.
“Besides, I thought she knew, after all, isn’t Yebai her husband? Aren’t they husband and wife?” Xu Jing said again.
Old Mrs. Xu could only sigh deeply.
“Mom.” Xu Jing suddenly got up, picked up her bag and coat, “I have to go back.”
“Did you just come back to talk to Weiyi about these things?” old Mrs. Xu snorted coldly.
“No, no.” Xu Jing hastily denied, “I genuinely have a training session to attend tomorrow so I have to go back. Also, since Weiyi is staying here, it’s not very convenient for me.”
“Go, go.” Old Mrs. Xu impatiently waved her hand, “Next time just call, no need to come back.”
“Mom, what are you saying?”
Old Mrs. Xu didn’t want to talk anymore, she didn’t pay any attention to her daughter and went straight to the little kitchen to busy herself.
Xu Jing packed up her things. After glancing at the closed bedroom door, she quickly left.
**
Inside the bedroom.
Mo Weiyi was lying on her side on the bed, wearing headphones, listening to music, trying not to let herself think too much.
But it was impossible.
The words Xu Jing spoke kept echoing in her mind.
She picked up her phone and found that name in her contacts.
Several times she wanted to make the call but refrained herself at the last moment.
After an uncertain period of time, Mo Weiyi suddenly got up and actually dialed another number.
Shortly after, the call connected. Rong An’s voice came through, “Princess?”
“Come pick me up from Xu Yuan village now.”
It was already six in the evening. Hearing this, Rong An didn’t ask any questions. “Okay, I got it.”
After hanging up the phone, Mo Weiyi got up and walked out of the bedroom.
Just as old Mrs. Xu was coming out carrying a steaming porcelain bowl, she saw her granddaughter coming out. She smiled brightly and said, “Weiyi, your favorite shrimp and egg soup is ready, come over and eat.”
Mo Weiyi originally had no appetite, but seeing the kindly smiling face of the old lady, she still went over to sit at the dining table.
She picked up the spoon and ate quietly, in small bites.
Looking at this, old Mrs. Xu sighed inwardly.
She had been there before.
She naturally knew about Mo Weiyi’s feelings for Xiao Yebai for all these years.
This time she suddenly came to live here alone and hadn’t seen her call Xiao Yebai during these days, and Xiao Yebai hadn’t come over. Although Mo Weiyi didn’t say anything, she knew there must be some problems between them.
As a senior, she could only pretend not to know since Mo Weiyi didn’t bring it up.
She had thought it was just a small quarrel, she figured that Xiao Yebai would definitely come to pick her up in a few days, but she didn’t expect that it actually had something to do with Qu Yunyao.
Thinking of what Xu Jing had said just now, old Mrs. Xu carefully spoke, “Weiyi, regarding Yunyao’s situation, if you don’t understand or can’t figure it out, you should directly ask Yebai. Any frustration between the couple must be spoken about, don’t hide it. If it’s bottled up for too long, it can lead to misunderstandings and easily harm the relationship.”
Mo Weiyi hummed a response.
“I don’t know much about Yebai, but I can tell he’s not very talkative. Such a man…”
The mobile phone on the table suddenly rang.
Mo Weiyi picked up the phone and looked at the name on the screen.
Zhan Yao?
