Chapter 691: 691, wants to kill her.
Shi Bo quickly carried Mo family’s old master out to the car. Mo Weiyi didn’t have time to lay blame; he followed Xiao Yebai and rushed to the hospital in the same car.
The servants gossiped for a bit before they started to clean up the leftover dishes and cold soups on the table.
The living room returned to its bustle, everything, it seems, was just as before.
About half an hour later, Mo Yaoxiong suddenly entered, leaning heavily on his crutch.
In the living room, Xu Jing was still sitting on the sofa, waiting.
As soon as she saw him, she stood up immediately, “Brother-in-law.”
“You all leave.”
At Mo Yaoxiong’s command, the servants looked at each other, then left the living room one by one.
The vast living room still had a faint lingering aroma of wine.
Aside from Xiaoli standing by the door, only Xu Jing and Mo Yaoxiong were left.
The man, with a cold face and leaning on his crutch, walked step by step to her.
He looked at Xu Jing.
For tonight’s banquet celebrating the old lady’s longevity, she wore a crescent-white cheongsam embroidered with pink lotus flowers. Her hair was curled, and her makeup was delicately light.
But even like this, the slight red and swollen mark on her left cheek was clearly visible.
Mo Yaoxiong’s eyes flashed a cold and cruel light. He raised his hand and aimed at the imprint on her left cheek, and violently slapped her.
With a crisp “pop,” the sound was loud and clear.
The sound startled Xiaoli, who trembled.
Xu Jing’s body was thrown to the right due to the force.
She quickly reached out to hold onto the back of the sofa to prevent herself from falling.
After regaining her balance, it took her a while before she slowly turned her face back.
The left side of her face was now more visibly red and swollen than before. There was even a trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth.
“What are you doing?”
His voice seemed to come from the earth’s core, suppressed, deep, and incredibly calm.
Xu Jing lifted her finger, wiped off the blood at the corner of her mouth, smiled faintly, stood straight, and replied, “Brother-in-law, I’ve told the old master everything about us.”
Upon hearing these words, Mo Yaoxiong threw his crutch away.
The loud “clang,” once again, startled Xiaoli.
Mo Yaoxiong suddenly reached out both hands and grabbed Xu Jing by the collar of her clothes.
“Xu Jing! Don’t think that just because you’re Xu Xian’s sister, I wouldn’t dare to touch you!”
He was so angry that he gripped her tightly, his veins popping, his knuckles whitening in intensity.
Xu Jing grabbed his fingers, trying to pry them apart.
But she couldn’t.
All she could do was say, “Brother-in-law, it’s okay if you hurt me, but the old master already knows that I’m pregnant with a boy. He is very happy. His excitement caused him to faint. He’s already eighty years old… Mo’s family finally has a descendant. But if he woke up and found out that he had suddenly lost his great-grandson, his heart probably wouldn’t be able to bear such a blow…”
“Xu Jing!” Mo Yaoxiong’s fingers viciously tightened.
He looked at Xu Jing, this woman who had manipulated him over and over again.
Hatred spread and intensified in his eyes, transforming into force applied to her neckline, choking her further.
Watching her face gradually pale, watching her gasping for breath, a crazy idea flashed in Mo Yaoxiong’s mind.
Kill her!
At this moment, he really wanted to kill her!
“Bro…ther…in..law…” Fear rapidly grew in Xu Jing’s eyes. Panting heavily, with a hoarse voice, she exclaimed, “Do you really…do you really not want your own son! He is in my…belly…even if…you don’t want…don’t you want…the old master…to want…you are too selfish…the old master…doesn’t have much time left…unfilial piety is the worst of all misdeeds…especially if it means no offspring…”
“You’re still talking!” Mo Yaoxiong’s eyes were bloodshot, he suddenly let go.
A large gulp of fresh air was forcefully inhaled into her lungs.
Just as Xu Jing was gasping, the hands that had released her instantly gripped her neck again, squeezing her throat tightly.
“Brother-in-law…” Xu Jing was shocked, she only managed to choke out part of her sentence, unable to say anything more.
She opened her hands wide, trying desperately to break Mo Yaoxiong’s grip.
His face was rigid with color drained, his eyes locked on hers, he remained entirely still like a statue, only the fingers around her throat continually tightened the grip.
The room was now filled only with the hoarse wheezing that came from deep within her throat.
At first, it could be heard, but then, slowly, it became weaker…
Under this nearly silent atmosphere, a shrill ringtone suddenly sounded.
Mo Yaoxiong’s entire body shivered.
As if he had jolted awake from a dream, he immediately released his grip.
Once released, Xu Jing’s body fell back onto the sofa.
She clutched her chest, panting heavily, mouth wide open as she gulped in air…
In the haze, she heard Mo Yaoxiong pick up the call.
“Yiyi, how’s dad?”
“…”
“Alright, I understand.”
As he hung up, Mo Yaoxiong looked down at Xu Jing.
His eyes full of extreme hatred, but it was apparent that his earlier violence had subsided.
“Xiaoli, bring the car over.”
The gatekeeper, Xiaoli, promptly responded, “Okay.”
Saying so, he hastily turned and ran off.
He was truly close to being scared to death by the near-murder he had just witnessed.
He knew that the Mo Family was involved in illegal activities, but since he started working for the family, honestly, aside from the omnipresent bodyguards throughout the mansion, everything else was no different from what is expected of the so-called elites.
But just then…
Mo Yaoxiong nearly strangled Xu Jing to death!
…
Hospital.
In the corridor.
Mo Weiyi put his phone down, “I’ve already informed dad to come. Uncle Yu, can we see Grandpa now?”
Just as he was about to walk in, Doctor Yu suddenly spoke up, “I’m sorry.”
Mo Weiyi looked at him puzzled.
Xiao Yebai slightly narrowed his black eyes.
Wearing an apologetic expression Doctor Yu said, “The old man just stabilized after rescue, his mental state isn’t good and his heart can’t receive any more shocks. He only wants to say a few words with Mr. Mo. I suggest, princess, you go home for now, and wait till the old man’s condition gets a bit better before you can visit him.”
Mo Weiyi blinked her cat-like eyes, “Why can my Dad see him, and I can’t? Can’t I just peek inside? I’m very worried about Grandpa…”
“I’m sorry.” Doctor Yu sighed, “It’s also the old man’s wish.”
Mo Weiyi mopes, not being able to hide her disappointment.
“If that’s the case then, thanks Uncle Yu.” Xiao Yebai then spoke.
Relieved, Doctor Yu replied, “Thank you, Young Master Xiao for understanding.”
After Doctor Yu left, Xiao Yebai glanced at the nurses standing outside the door.
A flicker of an obscure emotion passed through his deep, black eyes. His facial expression maintained its composure, as he instructed in a quiet voice, “Shibo, arrange for a few people to keep watch here. If anything happens, call me immediately.”
“Alright, Young Master Xiao.”
Xiao Yebai withdrew his gaze and took Weiyi’s arm, “Let’s head back.”
With no other option, Mo Weiyi turned and slowly followed the man into the elevator.
As soon as the elevator doors shut, she immediately spun around, burying her face in his chest, with her little head bowed low.
The cool and composed man lifted his arm to wrap it around her.
“Xiaobai.” Mo Weiyi’s voice was low, filled with disappointment and confusion, “Why wouldn’t Grandpa see me? I’m really worried about him, I just wanted to see how he was…”
“Didn’t the doctor tell you? Grandpa’s mental state isn’t good.” Xiao Yebai replied in his cool and composed tone.
“…” Mo Weiyi didn’t say anything, her little head not moving at all.
It wasn’t until the elevator arrived on the first floor that she didn’t respond.
Xiao Yebai casually mentioned, “We’ve arrived at the floor.”
It was only then that Mo Weiyi slowly moved away from his embrace, albeit tightly gripping his arm, with her downtrodden head she quietly followed him out, trailing behind him like a little tail.
Once they got into the car, Rong An glanced at the back seat, and calmly started the car.
Mo Weiyi sat on the backseat, leaning onto Xiao Yebai’s chest.
Her eyes shut, she seemed to have fallen asleep.
Upon their arrival at the Lishui Bay Villa, Xiao Yebai gently called, “Weiyi.”
“…”
Mo Weiyi didn’t respond.
This time, she was genuinely asleep.
Checking the time, it was already eleven at night
It was long past her bedtime.
After positioning her to sit comfortably against the seat, Xiao Yebai exited the car, walked around the back of the car to the other side, opened the door, bent down and carried her out.
Beside the black Audi, Rong An quietly stood by the car door, watching the two walk into the villa before returning to his driver’s seat, and drove off.
