Chapter 2328: Chapter 132: You’ve Been Too Hard on Him All These Years
Tonight, Gu Zhitong and Momo accompanied Qin Qingqing to the Shi Family, and Mo Ziye took another nap.
When they returned, he had only just woken up a few minutes earlier.
Qin Qingqing and the others got home not early, and in such a season, it was rather late.
Because she was alone entering the room, as soon as she reached the bed and bent down, she was held by Mo Ziye, who kissed her lip.
But it was Tang Jinchen’s phone call that interrupted his kiss with Qin Qingqing.
Originally somewhat emotional, upon hearing what Tang Jinchen said, the displeasure between his brows from being interrupted was replaced by a hint of gloom.
“What do you mean?”
Qin Qingqing calmed her feelings.
Seeing Mo Ziye’s bad expression and vaguely hearing her cousin’s voice, she lightly bit her lip and sat down on the edge of his bed.
Mo Ziye held her delicate hand in one hand and the phone in the other, listening to Tang Jinchen narrating what happened at the Shi Family tonight.
He used his eyes to inquire Qin Qingqing.
Qin Qingqing nodded gently.
“At the time, there were too many people, Shi Dongliang reluctantly agreed to allow Shi Zhen to issue a public apology to Momo in the newspaper tomorrow morning. But whether it’s Shi Dongping or Shi Dongliang, neither is easy to deal with. Both Ah Zhan and I worry he won’t really fulfill his promise…”
Tang Jinchen conveyed Ye Zhan’s analysis to Mo Ziye.
As well as the character and style of Shi Dongliang and Shi Dongping.
“I understand.”
After a moment of silence, Mo Ziye replied in a deep voice.
——
Shi Family.
After Shi Zhen was locked up, she cried, cursed, and made a fuss, insisting on being let out.
But without Shi Dongliang’s command, no one paid any attention to her.
Even her mother only comforted her with a few words from outside, not daring to give her a sip of water.
Shi Xi ate something and drank a glass of milk before carrying a tray of food and water to her room.
Likewise, she was stopped by two guards watching over the place.
Shi Xi did not argue, nor did she say a word to the hoarse-voiced Shi Zhen inside, only giving a cold glance at the tightly closed door before turning away.
After handing the tray to a servant downstairs, Shi Xi turned to look for Shi Dongping, only to find her mother in the room.
She heard that her father and uncle had gone to the study.
Shi Xi then went to look for them in the study, but as she reached the door, she heard her uncle’s voice, “Mo Ziye escaped last time, but this time I will make sure he and the Qin Family disappear together…”
Through the door panel, Shi Dongliang’s voice was slightly muffled but not less sinister, as if coming from Hell.
Filled with chilling coldness and murderous intent, it made Shi Xi’s face change, her eyes widen slightly in shock.
The people inside continued talking.
Shi Xi snapped back to reality after several seconds of shock.
The image of Mo Ziye’s face, handsome as if crafted by God himself, flashed before her eyes, and she gritted her teeth, quietly slipping away.
In the study, Shi Dongping and Shi Dongliang were so absorbed in their scheming that they didn’t notice Shi Xi coming and leaving.
On the way downstairs, Shi Xi’s legs wobbled so badly she almost fell.
She quickly grabbed the railing, her face turning even paler.
Though after the incident last time, she also knew her father had sent people to kill Mo Ziye, but he had only been injured, with no threat to his life.
Furthermore, the president himself went to see Mo Ziye.
Shi Xi inexplicably felt that Mo Ziye wasn’t so easily eliminated, nor was Haochen so easily consumed.
“Miss, where are you going?”
The servant’s question was ignored by Shi Xi.
She ran out into the courtyard, shivering from a cold gust of wind.
Her mind was a battlefield.
Should she tell Mo Ziye, or not?
After considering for a few minutes, Shi Xi took out her phone and dialed Mo Ziye’s number.
Unfortunately, he was on another call.
She dialed twice, both times met with the same response.
——
G City.
Because Mo Ziye didn’t want to return home from Imperial City, Haochen invited Shi Dongping to play dirty.
Even though the president stepped in, Mo Xiuchen still had to work overtime, socialize, returning home late for two or three consecutive days.
Every night, Wen Ran insisted on waiting for him to come home before sleeping together.
Upon hearing the sound from the foyer, she stood up from the sofa to greet him, taking his briefcase while watching him hang his coat on the rack, then linking her arm with his to return to the sofa.
“Ranran, didn’t I tell you to go to bed early? Why are you so disobedient, having to wait for me to come home?”
Mo Xiuchen had two drinks at a social function tonight.
But wasn’t drunk.
Just a slight smell of alcohol when he spoke.
Wen Ran smiled and replied, “I can’t sleep when you’re not home. Might as well wait until you’re back.”
After letting him sit down, Wen Ran poured a glass of warm water and handed it to him.
Mo Xiuchen said, “Thank you, dear.” He smiled and drank the water.
“You’ve been working hard these last few days.” Wen Ran sat beside him, turning to look at the man who, even in his fifties, still captivated her heart.
As long as he was there, she’d feel full of happiness.
“Not hard at all.” Mo Xiuchen kissed her face lightly and then said, “But coming back to work isn’t as enjoyable as being with you.”
“Naturally.” Wen Ran teased with a smile, “Once Ziye is back, you won’t have to hold up the fort at the company.”
“That guy probably won’t be back in less than half a month.”
Recalling Ziye said the same thing on the phone, Wen Ran couldn’t help but laugh, “You’ve bullied him too much over the years; he’s rebelling.”
“Ranran.”
Mo Xiuchen frowned and called her.
After calling her, he smiled, embracing her tightly, “It’s also good if they don’t come back. We can enjoy some time for ourselves.”
“We’ve been an old couple for so long, is there still a need for such private time?” Wen Ran glared at him before suppressing her smile.
With a serious look, she asked, “Xiuchen, do you know about Tongtong’s brief relationship with Tang Zhixian?”
“Why bring this up suddenly?”
Mo Xiuchen leaned back against the sofa, not letting go of the arm wrapped around Wen Ran’s shoulder, pulling her closer.
Wen Ran spoke softly, “This afternoon that Tang Zhixian came looking at the hospital.”
“Oh? Tongtong hasn’t returned from her business trip yet, has she?”
“He wasn’t looking for Tongtong; he was looking for my brother. I happened to be in his office at that time.”
The focus of Mo Xiuchen’s attention immediately shifted to her latter words, a hint of concern appearing on his face, “Ranran, why did you go to the hospital, are you uncomfortable somewhere?”
Wen Ran shook her head, “Not me, it’s Dad not feeling well. I accompanied him to the hospital, then went to see my brother in his office, just happened to meet Tang Zhixian who said his sudden disappearance back then was due to unavoidable circumstances and that his feelings for Tongtong haven’t diminished over the years…”
“Did Ah Kai kick him out?”
“Originally, he was going to kick him out, but later, because of something he said, my brother didn’t kick him out.”
