Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 782: Deeply Rooted Feelings (227)

Ye Mu felt uneasy, "Listen to mom, just do what you’re supposed to do quietly. Now all I have left is you."

"Mom, don’t worry. I’ll be fine."

"I just can’t get it off my mind."

Ye Ying, seeing the disbelief on her mother’s face, said unhappily, "Do you really think I’m that stupid in your eyes?"

Ye Mu nodded, "Not the stupidest, just stupider."

Ye Ying took a deep breath, "In your eyes, I’ve never surpassed Long Tianjiao. I’m inferior to her in every aspect, right?"

"Mom’s not comparing you to her right now. All I hope is that for the future, when mom can only rely on you, you’ll stay well-behaved. If anything were to happen to you, mom doesn’t want to live anymore. I’m begging you, isn’t that enough?"

"Mom, what if I use powers that human eyes can’t see?" she asked. "Would you still have doubts?"

Ye Mu, seeing her resolute face, couldn’t help but ask, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Jin Miaomiao once wanted to drive me out of the Ye Family, but now she’s the one who is about to be expelled. So what if Long Tianjiao is from the Long and Liang Families? I fear nothing. After all, she’s just an ordinary person like me. She must be laughing at me behind my back. How can I let her laugh at me for a lifetime? Why didn’t she die in that plane crash back then? Heaven has treated her far too kindly."

"That’s her fate; just accept it."

"No, I will never accept it, even if it costs me my life."

"You’re saying that last night’s Demon World people were after Xu Mohan?"

"That’s right." Jun Xiangyi hummed, "Auntie, let me tell you, if it weren’t for me saving him, he would’ve definitely died on the rooftop of the Emperor Palace. I saw those people were very capable, clearly ready to take him down despite him being the son of the Netherworld."

Jun Li asked again, "Didn’t you ask him why?"

"No, it’s none of my business anyway." Jun Xiangyi bit fiercely into a piece of bread, "It was already magnanimous of me to save him."

"The Demon World had a conflict with the Netherworld a few years ago, but it shouldn’t warrant executing Xu Mohan, right? It must be personal enmity; who doesn’t have enemies?" Jun Yu said nonchalantly, "However, the Netherworld is probably going to make another scene with the Demon World now. Attempting to assassinate a prince of the Netherworld is no small matter. If we let it pass, it could turn the whole world upside down. We just have to hope that Xu Mohan’s wife and child do not become weaknesses that others could exploit to doom him, or else it’ll get tricky."

Hearing this, Jun Xiangyi spoke at a leisurely pace, "Uncle, you don’t need to worry about that for others. We are outsiders, after all. Uncle, I’m already anxious to find a man. What are you and auntie thinking? Do you both really plan to live an eternal life without desires?"

"If I don’t come across someone I like, there’s nothing I can do about it," Jun Yu said indifferently. "Luckily, our father didn’t arrange our marriages, or else your auntie and I would’ve been rushed into marrying someone we dislike. That would be a real headache."

"Auntie, do you feel the same as uncle?"

"Um... more or less." Jun Li replied vaguely.

Suddenly, two Heavenly Soldiers appeared in front of the three of them. Jun Yu asked, "Is there something important?"

"The Heavenly King has matters to discuss with the Immortal Venerable. Please go to Yunxiao Palace."

"Alright, we’ll head over after we’ve eaten," Jun Li responded.

"Yes."

After finishing their meal and rinsing their mouths, the siblings went to Yunxiao Palace.

Inside the spacious hall, only the Heavenly King was present. Realizing this, Jun Li understood that whatever they were going to discuss was probably not meant for others to hear.
