Mo Yuan discovered that Ye Wei was much more useful than he assumed. Her words, not only could it wound Mo Yu, but it could also slaughter Mo Shizong. 

Her value far exceeded his expectations.

It went without saying that he wouldn’t treat something that had value badly.

Ye Wei discerned that her welfare had improved, visible with naked eyes. The most obvious shift was her small porridge had upgraded to three large rice bowls again. Even Mo Yuan presented her with some sweet words, “If it’s not enough, there are more. ”

Ye Wei patted her stomach. Enough, enough, that’s enough. If I eat a spoon more, I am afraid I will burst. 

In addition, Mo Yuan started to bring her to attend major gatherings. As long as there was a place where he was required to show up, she would be indispensable. Soon enough, many people in their circle knew that there was a woman named Ye Wei by Mo Yuan’s side. Just by Mo Yuan’s attitude, Ye Wei was likely to be the future Madam of the Mo-jia.

In any case, after all these years, who had witnessed Mo Yuan get so concerned over a woman?

And, he also brought her to public events!

It just, they also heard that Mo Shizong had found a wife candidate for Mo Yuan. Mo Shizong didn’t like Ye Wei. In order to get rid of Ye Wei from Mo Yuan’s side, he gave her five million yuan, but, who would have thought Ye Wei’s love for Mo Yuan was greater than her love for money. In the end, she didn’t accept Mo Shizong’s bribe……

Mo Yuan blatantly showed his determination not to marry anyone save for Ye Wei. Presumably, Mo Shizong was already dying of anger at this point.

With such rumors circulating, many people went to congratulate Mo Shizong on the happy occasion. Mo Shizong choked a mouthful of blood on his throat. He could neither spit it out or swallow it, and it made him loathe Ye Wei even more.

The love-hate entanglements between Mo Yuan and Ye Wei also spread well within Mo-jia.

Surpisingly, Ye Wei loved Mo Yuan more than money?!

Mo Yu almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. He deemed the thoughts of these people were still too simple, and they all underestimated Ye Wei!

Even he understimated Ye Wei. How could he even guess that Ye Wei returned because she was seduced by ten million yuan?

At the same time, he couldn’t figure out something. Obviously, Ye Wei had taken the five million yuan to leave him, why was Mo Yuan still willing to use ten million to get her back? Was he not afraid someone will give Ye Wei more money than him and then she would leave him again?

Did Mo Yuan really love Ye Wei so much? Love her to the point there was no bottom line or principles for her?

No, it’s impossible for Mo Yuan to love her so.

He thoroughly understood Ye Wei. She loved money as if it was her lifeline, and she listened to whoever had money. She had no bottom lines or principles.

Who knew that just when the scandal between Mo Yuan and Ye Wei was in full swing, another hot news broke out again.

Turned out, Mo Yu was the illegitimate son of Mo Shizong?

The news was like a boulder plunging into the calm water. It caused an uproar right away!

Everyone was shocked. And it was not only Mo Yu, even Mo Shizong was also shocked.

Mo Shizong was truly shocked. He initially designed to inform Mo Yu of this secret personally when he had a better relationship with Mo Yu. As long as he talked about it and explained the reason to Mo Yu clearly, Mo Yu would not fail to understand him. The contradiction between them, a father and son, would be more diminutive.

Why did a small-sized news company suddenly expose it now?

The one who broke the news was a little-known news company in City C, the information prepared by the other party was throughout and beautifully composed. The news started from the feelings of Mo Shizong and Mo Yu’s mother more than 20 years ago. 

The weight of Mo-jia in City C was very heavy. Thereupon, as soon as the news broke out, it spread rapidly, people animatedly discussed it.

The news said that although Mo Shizong liked Mo Yu’s mother and intended to marry her, his family disagreed and compelled him to make a choice, whether to go back to get married and inherit the family business or to sever ties with his family and elope with his true love.

Mo Shizong couldn’t stand the pressure. Eventually, he chose to return home and broke up with his true love.

Though, at that time, the said true love was pregnant. She didn’t abort the child and gave birth to the child, which was now Mo Yu.

Mo Shizong had been in contact with his true love over the years. Even Mo Yu’s work at Mo-shi was arranged by Mo Shizong.

As a closing, they posted photos of Mo Shizong and Mo Yu’s mother who often met each other recently. Not only that, there were even photos of Mo Shizong, Mo Yu, and Mo Yu’s mother walking downstairs together in their neighborhood.

That only happened recently. Once, Mo Yu went home and saw the janitor uncle at his home. He was surprised to find that the uncle he liked turned out to be an old friend of his mother! What a fate! 

Later, the three of them had a meal together, and together they sent Mo Shizong to the entrance of the neighborhood.

The news broke out and everyone inside Mo-shi stilled.

“For real? Our Lao Da is the illegitimate son of the chairman?”

“Lao Da and the Chairman share the same ‘Mo’ surname, but I never linked the two of them together!”

“Dear Lord. Why am I not the illegitimate child of a rich man? When will it be my turn to receive such a good thing? ”

“Mo Yu. Mo Yuan. Saying their names together, their names indeed sound like brothers.”

“If Mo Yu is Mo Shizong’s son, won’t that mean he also has shares in Mo-shi? Then, can he be regarded as Mo-shi’s little prince from now on?

“Also, if we follow him, doesn’t that means we will have a bright future?”

“Mo Yu’s mother is really impressive, she has endured these for so many years. ”

“Am I the only one who thinks of Ye Wei right now? The ex-boyfriend and the current boyfriend are half-brothers. Isn’t that awkward.”

“She abandoned Mo Yu for money, but in the end, she found out that Mo Yu was a rich man herself and he once loved her so much. The detour she took, it’s quite crooked.”

“By the way, where’s Lao Da? Miao-zuchang, have you seen Lao Da?”

“I haven’t.”

She had tried calling Mo Yu since she caught the news. Unfortunately, Mo Yu didn’t answer her call nor did he reply to her messages. She was worried that the news had a great impact on him and he couldn’t process it.

Miao Shuya had learned from Mo Yu that he grew up in a single-parent family. He had no father since childhood and his mother was the one who worked hard to raise him. Who knew that it’s not that he had no father, but that he had a father, yet that father didn’t recognize him……

Mo Yu had mixed feelings in his heart. He just wondered why he was attached to the janitor uncle and why that uncle was always there when he met with difficulty… Turned out, it was all deliberate. He was calculated!

He went home directly, and sure enough, he saw his mother looking at him in panic, “Xiao Yu, the news…”

Mo Yu’s mother was a quiet and gentle woman. From childhood until now, Mo Yu admired and liked his mother the most. Particularly, after he was more sensible, he could better learn that it was not easy for his mother to raise him all alone.

“Ma, is the news written on that news true? You told me clearly before that my father died in an accident. ”

“Xiao Yu, Mama knows that I shouldn’t lie to you, but I have no other way.”

“Don’t resent your father. He didn’t know about you until recently. He has always wanted to make up for you. He wanted to recognize you and bring you back to his house, but I disagree, so he didn’t recognize you. ”

Yang Lingxi touched Mo Yu’s head and whispered, “Xiao Yu, when you were a kid, you always asked me about your father. Now that you have a father, aren’t you happy? I heard from Shizong that both of you get along well.”

Mo Yu snorted, “That’s because I didn’t know he is my father.”

“Now you know, are you upset?”

“Upset.”

Yang Lingxi kept her smile, “It’s okay if you are upset.”

“If you don’t want to recognize him, then don’t recognize him. Mama will listen to you and won’t force you. “

Mo Yu gritted his teeth, still feeling angry.

He recalled the way he got along with his uncle and his uncle’s attitude towards him. He understood everything. Before, he thought that his uncle was extremely kind to him. It turned out that it was because they were a father and son. So, that was also why he knew what happened today and dressed up as a janitor to approach him! Hatefully, he thought their friendship was a friendship between generations.

All in all, beneath his anger that was caused by the deception, it was undeniable that he was a bit happy 

He has a father. He finally has a father……

In the future, no one could shun him as a wild child without a father. 

————·————·————

The moment she saw the news, Ye Wei instantly knew the culprit behind all this was Mo Yuan 

There was no way Mo Shizong was this stupid to recognize Mo Yu in this way. Thus, the only suspect on this matter was Mo Yuan, who undoubtedly had the power to do this kind of thing.

Because it was impossible for Mo Shizong to not recognize Mo Yu, this matter was inevitable. After all, when all was said and done, Mo Yu would definitely return to the Mo-jia. It’s more useful to take the advantage of it by striking first

First, ingrain the name of the illegitimate child on Mo Yu, then condemn Yang Lingxi as a mistress who destroyed other people’s families. He struck Mo Shizong by surprise.

This matter was done in a snap of fingers, and it had a bit of her style.

“Mo-xiansheng, Shushu has gone too far. Don’t be sad. Next time I see Shushu, I will demand justice for you!”

Ye Wei leaned on Mo Yuan’s shoulder and pouted with righteous indignation.

Mo Yuan was holding the newspaper in his hand. He scanned through it one by one without expression and tugged the corner of his mouth, “It is well written.”

Ye Wei, “It is truly splendid.”

Mo Yuan glanced at Ye Wei. His cold fingertips brushed the hair on her cheek and tucked it to her ear.

Ye Wei blinked twice.

“Do you regret it? If you didn’t abandon Mo Yu, you can be the rightful daughter-in-law of Mo-jia. My father won’t make it difficult or humiliate you. After all, my father hates me. The one he likes is Mo Yu.”

“Mo-xiansheng, I don’t regret it. Honest. You believe me.”

As a vicious Supporting Female, how could she regret it?

Mo Yuan stared at her and smiled, “Good girl.”

Ye Wei, “Mn! Mn!”

It’s unimaginable for her to be a good girl. Mo Yuan purposefully told her this, it was because she evidently wasn’t planning to be good.

This was the case in the original plot. Mo Yuan didn’t like the original owner and just used her. The original owner also knew this. She understood that she couldn’t stay with Mo Yuan for a long time.

Hence, after Mo Yu’s identity was exposed, she desired to return to the pasture she left behind[1] and contacted Mo Yu to reconcile. However, at that point, Mo Yu already had Miao Shuya by his side. Following the route of a vicious Supporting Female, naturally, the original owner did a lot of hateful things which led to her being rejected completely by Mo Yu.

By that time, she was drawing water with a bamboo basket, leaking on both ends.

And that ending was precisely the ending she desired.

She didn’t need Mo Yuan’s instruction right now, she herself knew what to do.

She touched her phone. She glanced at Mo Yuan who had closed his eyes, obstructing his thoughts. She texted Mo Yu in a beat.

Ye Wei: A’Yu, I have heard about you. I didn’t expect you to have such a sad life. You must have had a very hard time, right? Are you okay?

Ye Wei: Don’t care what others say. This matter is the matter of the previous generation and has nothing to do with you.

Ye Wei: A’Yu？

Ye Wei: A’Yu, why don’t you reply? Don’t make me worried.

Ye Wei rubbed her head on Mo Yuan’s shoulder, she herself was almost moved by her words.

Mo Yuan closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, his fingers twirling around her thin and soft hair.

Once, twice, thrice…….

————·————·————

Mo Yu on the other side who received her messages, Heh.

Since the news broke out, he has received a lot of messages. Ye Wei’s texts were the most eye-catching. He ground his teeth and read them over and over again, but when he scrolled up, he read the part where she had received Mo Yuan’s ten million yuan. The corners of his lips twitched in ire. 

He would rather Ye Wei never text him!

Mo Yu sneered and threw away his phone. Obviously, when he sent her a message before, she ignored it, as if saying a word to him was bothersome. Now, in this situation where the news about him being Mo Shizong’s illegitimate child just came out, she instantly texted him. She didn’t even need him to reply. The messages were sent from her one by one. What’s more, she dared to say she was worried about him?

Heh.

Did she think he would fall for it?

Clearly what she cared about was whether his identity could benefit her!

While Mo Yu was angered by her messages, Ye Wei sent him another message.

Ye Wei: A’Yu, You are blaming me, aren’t you? It’s fine. I don’t blame you.

Ye Wei: Just… at least reply to me. Let me know that you are okay so I will feel at ease.

Mo Yu finally couldn’t help it and replied: Thank you for your concern, I’m fine.

Ye Wei: That’s great. Didn’t you say you wanted to talk to me before? When do you think you have time?

Mo Yu: …No, let’s not talk about it, I don’t have time.

What else to talk about, you were beyond saving!
