“How dare I?” Just these few words were all Qi Mo intended to say, but his voice was clearly laced with sarcasm.
Qi Father was truly angered, grinding his molars and saying, “What is there that you dare not do?”
Qi Mo raised an eyebrow, remaining silent.
Qi Mother, having finished reviewing all the information, couldn't help but praise, “Truly worthy of being my daughter-in-law, so outstanding!”
Qi Father was still fuming, but upon hearing this, his attention immediately shifted. He looked at his wife, bewildered.
Seeing her still holding her phone and looking at something, he suddenly realized—it must be that girl’s information on the phone!
Without giving it further thought, he rushed forward and snatched the phone from Qi Mother’s hand. As expected, he saw the information, including a photo of the girl.
“This? This young lady…” Qi Father looked at Qi Mo with surprise but didn’t speak, his eyes conveying everything.
Had he seen this girl before?
Qi Mo raised his eyebrow again, showing no intention of responding.
Qi Father was somewhat annoyed, but he felt he could certainly find something from the information. He disregarded everything else and immediately flipped to the top to start reading.
“Then what are your plans now?” Qi Mother had no patience for Qi Father to look at the information. Instead, she looked at her son with anticipation.
This time, Qi Mo did not continue to play coy. He replied calmly, “I just recently began a collaboration with her. We will have more contact in the future. It cannot be rushed, and she should be completely unaware of her background.”
Qi Mother looked at her son with gossip in her eyes, asking with great interest, “So, are you feeling more of a sense of responsibility now, or do you think the young lady herself is quite good? I see this young lady is outstanding, beautiful, and has a good figure. She’s practically a goddess in people’s eyes.”
Qi Mo: “……”
The corner of his mouth twitched; he didn’t want to respond.
By this time, Qi Father had also finished reading the information.
While reading, his ears were perked up, not wanting to miss a single word they said.
Only after finishing all the information did he look up at Qi Mo.
“Do we even need to ask what to do next? Quickly notify her parents about this matter. If old Shu finds out, he’ll probably be overjoyed. I’ll make a call to tell them right away.”
Seeing Qi Father about to take out his phone, Qi Mo immediately spoke up, “Not yet.”
“Why?”
…
Domestically.
At this moment, Mu Yin Yin and Wan Yu were sitting opposite each other in a coffee shop.
They were in a private room, making it quite convenient for conversation.
Wan Yu observed the person before her, noticing a hint of worry in her eyes. She frowned slightly and said, “Although it hasn’t reached your expectations yet, at least things are progressing smoothly. We can’t rush Nan Shi Qing.”
Mu Yin Yin snapped back to attention, smiled, and shook her head, “I naturally know that. I’m not troubled by that. If they are struck down too quickly, it will diminish the pleasure of revenge. It’s better to let them live in fear.”
Wan Yu raised an eyebrow, puzzled, “Since it’s not because of that, then why are you still looking so troubled?”
“Do I?” Mu Yin Yin couldn’t help but chuckle. “I was just thinking about some things. It’s not that anything is going wrong. Sister Wan, you really don’t need to worry about me.”
“I worry, how can I not worry about you?” As she spoke, Wan Yu couldn’t help but sigh. She picked up her coffee, took a sip, and looked at the person before her helplessly. “Look, you can’t go on like this. You’re always alone, and I can’t rest easy. Look, Lu Sinian is good. He still thinks of you often. Why not consider him?”
Towards the end, the matchmaking intention in Wan Yu’s eyes was undeniable, and she was absolutely not joking.
Mu Yin Yin suddenly felt like crying but had no tears. “I just got divorced. I haven’t even fully emerged from the last grave yet, and you want me to enter the second one?”
“How can this second one be a grave? It’s a territory to conquer.” Wan Yu frowned in disapproval. Seeing that Mu Yin Yin was about to say something else, she immediately interjected, “I have truly investigated Lu Sinian, and he is not as terrifying as you imagine. Not all powerful and wealthy people are as cold-blooded as Fu Si Ye. He is only cold-blooded to those he doesn’t care about. Lu Sinian’s character is truly reliable. You believe me, my judgment has always been accurate, don’t you doubt that?”
Mu Yin Yin helplessly shook her head. “How could I doubt you? It’s just that I can’t consider a second relationship right now.”
Wan Yu’s judgment had always been very accurate. Many times, she could tell what kind of person someone was with just one glance.
Back then.
When Mu Yin Yin was about to marry Fu Si Ye, she had tried hard to stop her, but… it was ultimately in vain.
Mu Yin Yin still married him.
However, after she got married, Wan Yu wasn’t someone who constantly poured cold water. She also helped her find ways to make Fu Si Ye fall in love with her, but in the end…
It was all for naught.
Wan Yu had actually anticipated this outcome at the time, but she didn’t want Mu Yin Yin to be too despondent. Moreover, in many situations, a broken heart had to be mended by Mu Yin Yin herself. After all, she was already married, and she couldn’t persuade her to divorce immediately.
If.
If she had been truly wrong, Wan Yu still held that thought at the time, but unfortunately…
Wan Yu sighed and said, “There’s really no need to use past experiences as a reference, because people are different. You have to admit that, right?”
Mu Yin Yin smiled faintly. “I know people are different, but I just don’t want to invest my energy in relationships anymore. Relationships are inherently a gamble. If you lose, you are left battered and bruised. I’m too tired.”
Wan Yu frowned. Just as she was about to retort, Mu Yin Yin spoke again, “Besides, I’m already divorced. If I were to get married again, it would be a second marriage. Lu Sinian has never been married. Am I not trying to ensnare him?”
“What are you afraid of? Even if you were married twice, your hymen is still intact,” Wan Yu shrugged indifferently. “And even if you are married twice, so what? You are a good girl. It was Fu Si Ye who didn’t cherish you. Should such a mistake be attributed to you?”
Mu Yin Yin: “……”
She was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute Wan Yu.
After the divorce, every time they chatted, Wan Yu would bring this up, making her both amused and exasperated.
Wan Yu helplessly put down her coffee cup and looked at Mu Yin Yin, speaking with a touch of exasperation, “You, you, why are you so slow to catch on? Haven’t you already told Lu Sinian, and he doesn’t mind? If he doesn’t mind, then why should you?”
Mu Yin Yin pulled at her lips. “That’s different. Besides, who can guarantee what the future holds? If this becomes a barrier again, and I get divorced again, then I might as well not get married.”
