My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day-Chapter 808 - : 808, Xiao Yebai, don’t go too far.
Chapter 808: 808, Xiao Yebai, don’t go too far.
It must be the princess who sent him something to look at, right?
If not, he couldn’t possibly have such a rippling expression on his face…
As I was lost in wild guesses, suddenly a ringtone from a cellphone erupted.
Zhong Kai hurriedly apologized, “Sorry, President Xiao, I need to take this call.”
But when he took out his phone and saw the caller ID on the screen…
Fuck!
...
Slap in the face.
The call was actually from…
Maybe it was because he kept not answering the phone that made the man aware, and Xiao Yebai looked up.
Zhong Kai quickly got up and ran out with his phone.
Xiao Yebai: “…”
**
Once outside in the corridor, Zhong Kai closed the door behind him and then answered the call, “Princess.”
Mo Weiyi had not contacted him for a long time, and now receiving a call certainly made him nervous.
Sure enough, the voice of the princess in the earpiece was very cold, “Zhong Kai, are you at the hospital now?”
“Don’t worry, Princess, I’m at the hospital, but I’m in the corridor right now, President Xiao has no idea,” Zhong Kai ingratiated himself with the princess.
Mo Weiyi asked him, “When can you be discharged?”
“Don’t worry, Princess, the doctor says President Xiao’s chest wound is a bit deep, but he should be able to leave the hospital in the next couple of days.”
“How’s the company been recently?”
Zhong Kai didn’t understand what she meant by ‘how’, but after thinking it over, he answered, “President Xiao is working online every day, the company is doing quite well, all the projects are running normally, and we’re currently discussing strategic cooperation with the Zhou Family. We should reach an agreement in the next couple of days.”
“Has there been a lot of visitors these days?”
“It’s been alright, mostly key clients from the company, plus managers from various departments, as you know, President Xiao has never been fond of meeting visitors.”
“Hmm.” Mo Weiyi finished speaking and hung up.
Zhong Kai: “…”
What is the princess up to?
Checking in on me?
…
Upon returning to the ward, Xiao Yebai didn’t ask him about the call, and Zhong Kai didn’t pry either, quickly immersing himself back into work.
It was only that every half-hour, Xiao Yebai would pick up his phone to take a glance.
Zhong Kai secretly observed a few times and determined that he seemed to be checking WeChat messages.
Though he did not know who sent them, as it did not affect the work, and as a subordinate, he dared not pry, until almost noon when Xiao Yebai picked up his phone again.
He watched the screen for several seconds, his brow furrowed and his expression slightly stern.
Then, he dialed straightaway, “Get rid of them.”
Zhong Kai was startled.
Who?
**
Nancheng University.
After the class bell rang, Su Wanwan left.
With so many bodyguards in the hallway outside, just for one class, nothing should happen.
Just as she arrived in front of the academic building, Zhao Qianqian called, “Wanwan, why did you come back to school today? Didn’t you say your chairman was going to take you to meet a big director?”
“Something came up.” Su Wanwan asked her, “How did you know I came to school?”
“The school forum is filled with dozens of pages of posts, you and Mo Weiyi both showed up with several bodyguards in tow, how could I not know?”
Su Wanwan: “…”
After hanging up, she immediately opened the campus forum.
As expected.
[Extra! Extra! I finally saw the campus belle on an incognito outing!]
The photo displayed in the main building was of Mo Weiyi and her walking together, followed by Aunt Zhou and then five bodyguards dressed in black suits and wearing sunglasses…
Scanning through the follow-up posts:
[The campus belle is so beautiful even with just a candid snapshot!]
[Such a treat to the eyes, two great beauties walking side by side!]
[With so many bodyguards in tow, it’s truly like a princess on a tour…]
The school really lacks news, turning such a trivial matter into such a hot topic?
Su Wanwan quickly closed the browser.
What she didn’t know was that someone had just found a seat in the library, and because of that very post, immediately got up and ran out again.
**
As a class ended, students left the classroom in groups of twos and threes.
Mo Weiyi still sat in her seat, resting her cheek on one hand, looking at the cherry blossoms outside the window.
In fact, she had been in this pose since the start of the class and hadn’t changed much.
She didn’t bring her textbook and was daydreaming throughout the class; she was really just there because she had been bored at home and came out for a breath of fresh air…
As almost all the students had left, Aunt Zhou entered the classroom, “Princess, shall we go home now?”
She had a pregnancy check-up at the hospital at two in the afternoon, so if they went back now, she’d have time to eat lunch and rest a bit.
Mo Weiyi didn’t even turn around, “No, I’ll eat in the cafeteria.”
“But the cafeteria food isn’t sanitary and lacks nutrition, the young master has said that he would take you home for lunch.”
Hearing this, Mo Weiyi blinked her eyes and then turned to face her, “So now you’re not even listening to me?”
“Princess, that’s not what I meant.”
Her main concern was that the cafeteria was too unsafe with people coming and going, and the young master had said that since the princess was pregnant now, she needed to be extra careful in case anything unexpected happened…
“Then shut up,” Mo Weiyi said, turning her face back.
Aunt Zhou: “…”
All she could do was wait with the princess.
After a while, Su Wanwan still hadn’t arrived, but several male students did.
One of them, a handsome young man, peered inside from the doorway, then walked into the classroom and headed straight for Mo Weiyi’s seat.
“Senior?”
Upon hearing the voice, Mo Weiyi turned around.
When she saw it was Ling Zhizhou, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time, she curved her lips upward, “Ling Zhizhou, long time no see.”
Ling Zhizhou sat down in the seat in front of her and gestured for someone outside with a wave of his hand.
Then the three boys also came in and took their seats one after another.
“Senior, you don’t mind us playing games here, do you?” Ling Zhizhou asked.
“No worries, feel free,” Mo Weiyi said, picking up her phone to check the time.
It was almost eleven o’clock. Hadn’t Su Wanwan said she would come to find her after meeting with her supervisor?
Where was she?
Ling Zhizhou launched the game client and looked up at Mo Weiyi, “Senior, want to join us for a game?”
“I can’t play.”
“That’s okay, you just need to make up the numbers. We have four people now, and with you, we’ll have a full team. Don’t worry, just follow me and you don’t have to do anything.”
Another boy next to him also said, “Senior, don’t worry, Ling Zhizhou is really good, he can carry you in the game.”
“I don’t think I have it downloaded,” Mo Weiyi continued to decline.
“No problem, downloading is quick. Here, let me show you,” said Ling Zhizhou, getting up to come to her side. “Search for ‘Peace Elite.’
**
Outside the classroom, in the hallway, several bodyguards were still standing guard.
One of them, watching the scene inside the classroom, took out his phone, snapped a photo, and sent it away.
Not long after, Su Wanwan arrived. She heard familiar voices from inside as soon as she reached the doorway:
“There’s someone on the left!”
“Come on, run towards me!”
“Don’t be afraid, I’ve got you covered!”
“Senior, get down and don’t move. There’s someone behind you!”
Su Wanwan: “…”
Sure enough, as soon as she entered, she saw Mo Weiyi sitting there with a phone in hand, apparently… playing a game?
And Ling Zhizhou was beside her, seemingly giving her instructions?
He was leaning over, one hand propped on the chair behind Mo Weiyi, and the other directing her on the mobile screen.
The two were a bit too close; from her angle, it looked…
A bit intimate!
When Mo Weiyi followed the instructions and had her in-game character crawling slowly forward through the grass,
“Senior, don’t move yet, I think there’s someone ahead. Can you see them? Click to shoot, aim at him with the scope…”
A second later.
“It’s okay, don’t be nervous, Sun Boyang has already killed them.”
Ling Zhizhou said this, pointed at the phone screen, and then his hand moved downward. It was unclear whether it was intentional or not, but his hand came to rest on Mo Weiyi’s arm, “Senior, don’t be nervous, only one person left. Just hide here and you’ll be fine.”
“…Oh.” Mo Weiyi nodded.
Su Wanwan: “…”
Was the little girl unaware she was being taken advantage of?
She immediately called out, “Weiyi!”
Ling Zhizhou looked up at the sound of the voice and raised his hand to wave at her, smiling brightly, “Su Senior.”
“What are you guys up to?” Su Wanwan walked over. “Playing ‘chicken’?”
“Yeah, senior, are you also familiar with this game?” Ling Zhizhou looked and sounded very natural. “We just finished a round, want to join us, Su Senior?”
Was it over?
Mo Weiyi looked at her screen.
Oh, indeed, it displayed that her team had just claimed first place.
She looked up,
Having been intensely focused on the game screen for so long, her vision was a bit blurry, “Wanwan, you’ve arrived.”
“I thought you didn’t like playing games?” Su Wanwan sat down next to her, her gaze shifting back and forth between their faces, “Since when did you start playing ‘chicken’?”
“Not really.” Mo Weiyi put down her phone, “Just bored.”
There wasn’t much else to do anyway. These junior boys were too enthusiastic to refuse.
But she really felt a sense of defeat. She completely lacked any talent for games. Throughout the game, she just kept running with her team, entering any building she saw along the way. She hadn’t seen an enemy but was bizarrely told that a teammate had killed one, and then they told her to go loot the drops?
She picked up a bunch of stuff without knowing what it was for, never used any of it, and somehow ended up taking first place?
No kills, no deaths, no assists…
Mo Weiyi swiped away her screen, “You guys play, I’m done.”
Ling Zhizhou said with a smile, “Actually, it’s like this the first time you play. Just play a bit more and you’ll get better. If you want to play later, just let me know, I’ll team up with you.”
Mo Weiyi shook her head, “No, it’s alright.”
Perhaps playing a round of the game had sparked a sense of camaraderie, the three boys no longer seemed as uneasy as before. One of them even mustered the boldness to come up to her, “Senior, can we add each other on WeChat?”
“Yeah.” Another boy chimed in, “That way, when we’re in the game, we can pull you in directly.”
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.
Before Mo Weiyi could reply, she saw someone approaching.
It was the bodyguards.
They had been standing guard outside; she hadn’t given any instructions, yet they had suddenly walked into the classroom.
They entered in unison, all dressed in black suits, with expressionless faces, immediately intimidating everyone in the room.
One of the bodyguards approached and said bluntly, “You, take your friends and leave the classroom immediately.”
Harsh and impolite.
Ling Zhizhou’s face changed color.
The other boys looked at each other, feeling utterly bewildered.
Mo Weiyi’s expression turned unpleasant, “On what grounds are you telling him to leave?”
The bodyguard said, “It’s at the behest of Young Master Xiao.”
“Heh.” Mo Weiyi sneered, “So while I was playing the game, you reported back to him, is that it?”
She knew that ever since her pregnancy, Xiao Yebai had moved quite a few people to stand guard in the villa, and she was always followed when she went out.
But she didn’t expect these people to be so diligently on duty, reporting her every move back like this.
What was the difference between this and surveillance?
The bodyguard didn’t deny it and again ordered Ling Zhizhou, “Leave now, or don’t blame me for being impolite.”
The three boys, seeing that things were not going well, immediately started packing up to leave.
However, Ling Zhizhou, who was always gentle and easy to talk to, said, “This is a classroom, we are students, what right do you have to tell us to leave?”
The bodyguard didn’t waste words, he simply reached out to grab Ling Zhizhou’s arm.
He pulled and dragged with rough and efficient movements.
Though he was over 1.7 meters tall, after all, he was just a young man under twenty, with a frail build, Ling Zhizhou had no way of contending with a bodyguard who had trained for many years.
With a “snap,” his phone fell to the ground, and he was actually yanked out of his seat.
Ling Zhizhou clung onto the desk with his hands, trying to struggle.
Mo Weiyi then shouted, “What are you doing! Let go! Didn’t you hear me tell you to let go!”
Su Wanwan also hadn’t expected the bodyguard to be so barbaric.
And his strength was too great, how could a delicate scholar like Ling Zhizhou withstand it?
The sight of the bodyguard using force was abrupt…
“Hiss!”
A cry of pain followed, and accompanied by the grating noise of the desk scraping the floor, Ling Zhizhou was still dragged out of the classroom.
Mo Weiyi’s shouting was utterly useless.
…
The bodyguard released his hold once he had dragged the person out of the door.
A classmate hurriedly passed over the phone, “Ling Zhizhou, your phone.”
Ling Zhizhou hung his head down, his left hand resting on his right elbow, staying silent for a long time, also not reaching out to take it.
“Ling Zhizhou, are you okay?” Mo Weiyi had already followed him out.
Hearing the voice, he lifted his head, forcing a smile on his pale face, “Upperclassman, I’m alright.”
“Really alright? But I just heard you cry out in pain?” Mo Weiyi was genuinely worried.
Those bodyguards of the Mo Family were professionally trained fighters, best at inflicting pain unbearable as death without leaving a mark.
Ling Zhizhou shook his head.
Possibly due to the pain, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and he seemed reluctant to talk any more.
Mo Weiyi could tell how bad his condition was at a glance, turned around to glare at the bodyguard, and spoke in a lowered voice, “What gives you the right to lay your hands on my friend? Apologize to him at once!”
“Upperclassman, don’t blame him,” Ling Zhizhou’s pained voice began, “he was also concerned about your safety, it’s my fault for inviting you to play games…”
The more he said this, the worse Mo Weiyi felt inside, “What does it have to do with you? I was the one who wanted to play with you.”
Su Wanwan coughed twice, “Alright Weiyi, stop it for now, let’s first take Ling Zhizhou to the infirmary to get checked out.”
The presence of bodyguards dressed in black was already quite noticeable on campus, and now that such an incident had occurred, there were already a number of students gathering around to watch and discuss.
Mo Weiyi finally realized, “Alright, let’s go to the infirmary first.”
Ling Zhizhou said, “It’s sufficient if a classmate accompanies me. Upperclassman, you go eat first.”
Mo Weiyi had intended to follow along but, glancing at those few bodyguards, she suddenly changed her mind, “Alright, just remember to call me after you’re done.”
“Okay.” Ling Zhizhou nodded, and with a classmate’s company, he headed to the infirmary.
As those people left, Mo Weiyi’s cute face immediately turned cold and stern.
“Like sending secret messages?”
Several bodyguards stood there with their heads lowered, but no one spoke.
“Didn’t expect we raised a pack of ingrates in the Mo Family, now even ignoring my orders. I told you not to act, but you just had to, didn’t you?”
The bodyguard who had acted explained, “Princess, Young Master Xiao did it for your own good.”
“For my good?” Mo Weiyi laughed coldly, “For my good you hurt my friend and in front of so many people? How do you expect them to look at me after this?”
Although Mo Weiyi at school was not known for having a good reputation and was always synonymous with arrogance and imperiousness,
this was the first time that someone was sent to the infirmary just because of a game…
The bodyguard stopped talking.
But the discussions among the surrounding students grew more animated.
Su Wanwan tugged on Mo Weiyi’s arm, “Forget it Weiyi, why lose your temper with them?”
So many students were watching, undeniably it would lead to a fervent discussion on the school forum…
There was already plenty of negative material, was it so hard to cherish her own reputation?
Moreover, graduation was imminent; better to have less trouble than more…
“You have a point, why should I lose my temper with you?” Mo Weiyi seemed to take the point to heart, even smiling as she spoke.
“Alright, alright, don’t be angry,” Su Wanwan coaxed her, “Are you hungry? Let’s go eat first. Don’t we have to go to the hospital this afternoon?”
Mo Weiyi nodded.
Indeed, she needed to go to the hospital.
She said, “I’ll skip lunch. Wanwan, I want to go home.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
Alright.
**
Back in the car, just as the bodyguard started the engine, Mo Weiyi said, “To the hospital.”
Aunt Zhou certainly didn’t think the princess was going to visit Young Master Xiao.
She feared it was because of the incident at the school, and that she was going to lose her temper with Young Master Xiao.
Concerned, she took out her mobile phone, planning to make a call in advance…
“Aunt Zhou, you want to tip them off too?”
Aunt Zhou: “…”
She could only silently stuff her phone back into her bag.
…
It was only a twenty-minute drive from Nancheng University to the hospital. As the car slowly entered the hospital gates, Mo Weiyi’s phone rang.
She immediately answered, “How is it? Is your hand okay?”
“Don’t worry, upperclassman, the doctor has already examined it and said it’s nothing serious.”
“That’s good.”
Mo Weiyi had just let out a sigh of relief when suddenly another sharp voice of a girl came through the phone, “Miss Mo, your bodyguards went too far, didn’t they? What exactly caused them to dislocate Ling Zhizhou’s wrist? Do you realize how much that hurts? You are really bullying too much! What did he do wrong to deserve such treatment…”
Mo Weiyi’s pupils contracted sharply.
Before she could reply, the phone seemed to be snatched back by Ling Zhizhou, his voice returning, “Upperclassman, don’t listen to her nonsense. It’s not that serious, it’s already better now.”
“It’s already better now…”
That meant it really was dislocated before.
Mo Weiyi gripped his phone tightly, fuming with rage he couldn’t contain.
Ling Zhizhou continued, “Senior, I’m really okay. I’ve also reflected on myself just now, indeed it was my fault. Even though we are friends, you are now married and it’s understandable for President Xiao to be unhappy. I should have been more discreet. Knowing you were pregnant and still asking you to play games was me asking for trouble. I can’t blame anyone else…”
Even like this, he was still persuading her not to be angry, with no intention of blaming anyone else.
“It has nothing to do with you.” Mo Weiyi finally spoke up to interrupt him, “Don’t worry, I will give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter.”
**
10 minutes later, the car arrived at the hospital.
Mo Weiyi opened the car door and hurried toward the hospital’s inpatient building.
She moved so fast that by the time the servants and bodyguards caught up, the elevator doors had already closed.
…
Upon reaching the upper floor, Mo Weiyi headed straight for room 1208.
Grasping the doorknob, she pushed the door open with force and walked in.
The room was filled with the “clatter clatter” of keyboard typing and voices coming from the computer.
The man on the hospital bed was leaning against the pillow, focusing intently on the computer screen before him.
At the sudden sound of the door opening, he turned to look.
Zhong Kai, who was seated on one side taking notes for the meeting, also stopped and looked up.
Then, he saw Mo Weiyi, with a frosty expression, swiftly walk to the bedside and grab the water cup from the table nearby.
Her hand lifted.
All the liquid inside splashed onto Xiao Yebai’s face.
The action was too quick.
And too sudden.
Without a hint of warning.
Therefore, Xiao Yebai didn’t have time to react before he was doused.
Mo Weiyi slammed the water cup back onto the table.
A loud “snap” made Zhong Kai’s body jerk.
He quickly realized what was happening and turned the computer in front of Xiao Yebai in another direction.
But it was too late.
The video conference was still in progress, so the scene of President Xiao getting splashed with water was seen by all the executives of the Zhou Group who were watching their screens.
Including several negotiation representatives from the Mo Family.
At this moment, in several rows of images on the screen, the expressions on everyone’s faces were truly priceless!
Zhong Kai swiftly turned off the camera on their side and announced in a low voice, “Sorry, the meeting is adjourned for today.”
As for the man on the bed.
His face was completely drenched, his hair wet from the water, with droplets streaming down his handsome and three-dimensional features, quickly soaking the front of his patient’s gown.
He just sat there, without even using his hands to wipe his face, merely taking off his glasses from the bridge of his nose and setting them aside, his voice deep as he inquired, “What happened?”
“Don’t have the courage to admit what you did?” Mo Weiyi had to take a deep breath to control the anger welling up inside her, “Xiao Yebai, since when did you become a coward hiding in his shell?”
Zhong Kai had streaks of black lines over his face.
A coward hiding in his shell?
I guess you must be the only person in the whole world who dares to speak to President Xiao like that…
The one called a coward, Xiao Yebai, showed no change in expression. He turned to the servant who hastily followed in, “Auntie Zhou, what happened?”
“You know perfectly well what you did!” Mo Weiyi cut him off.
Xiao Yebai shifted his gaze back to the furious little woman, “What did I do?”
Mo Weiyi was nearly laughed angry, “Xiao Yebai, are you pretending to be dumb with me right now? Is this amusing to you? Don’t you know what you yourself have done?”
Seeing the situation was not good, Auntie Zhou hurriedly explained, “Young Master Xiao, just now at the school, there was a conflict between the princess’s classmate and the bodyguard. It seems he got injured and was taken to the infirmary.”
“It was a dislocated wrist!” Mo Weiyi clenched her fist, wishing she could throw another cup of water on that unperturbed face…
She asked viciously, “Xiao Yebai, on what grounds did you let the bodyguard lay hands on my friend?”
“Is it for this reason that you barged in and splashed water on my face?” Xiao Yebai responded with a counter-question.
“And what about you? He is my friend. We were just talking, surrounded by several other classmates. Just because of that, you allowed such a heavy hand to be used? To twist someone’s wrist to the point of dislocation?”
Xiao Yebai said indifferently, “Then he overstepped.”
“Could it be that your thoughts are filthy? Xiao Yebai, do you think that because you’re now the largest shareholder of the Mo Family, our family’s hero, you can act above the law and strike out at anyone you please?”
Xiao Yebai turned to the bodyguard standing aside, “Who was it who laid hands on him?”
The bodyguard who had acted stepped forward, “Me.”
Xiao Yebai asked, “Dislocated?”
The bodyguard furrowed his brow, “I only pulled him out of the classroom. I didn’t use much force.”
Hearing this, Mo Weiyi let out a snort of laughter.
Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes and then turned to her, “Did he tell you that his wrist was dislocated?”
“He isn’t as shameless as you!” Mo Weiyi retorted sharply, “It was his classmate who told me! Do you think everyone is like you, a coward? Doing the deed and not willing to admit it, still shirking responsibility up to now?”
Because of her continuous accusations, Xiao Yebai’s expression grew even colder, “In that case, should I have someone dislocate his other hand as well, so your slander and accusations against me won’t be in vain?”
“You wouldn’t dare!” Mo Weiyi blurted out.
Xiao Yebai leaned back, his voice icy, “You could try me.”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
She felt he had completely changed into a different person.
What was even more desperate was that she felt he truly could do such a thing.
The cultivated and elegant CEO image had always been just a mask.
This man, at his core, was ruthless and cruel. It was evident from the time she had an accident, and he beat that Song Quan into a vegetative state.
But Ling Zhizhou was just a student, and a mere pull had dislocated his wrist—if these bodyguards were to lay hands on him again…
Mo Weiyi bit her lip hard, her mood was complex but, more than that, she felt helpless…
“Xiao Yebai, don’t go too far.”
Xiao Yebai slightly curved his lips and responded slowly, “Who is the one going too far?”
Even now, dressed in a sickroom attire lying in bed, his hair, face, and clothes all wet from water and yet watched by all his subordinates, not a trace of discomfiture or embarrassment could be seen.
Haughty, aloof, and indifferent.
He continued, “I was in the middle of a video conference with representatives from the Zhou Group when you abruptly burst in and splashed water in my face in front of everyone. The Zhou Family is one of the four great aristocratic families of Nancheng. You should also be aware of how critical this cooperation is for the Mo Family. But now, I’m afraid the whole of Nancheng will know that I’ve been publicly splashed by my own wife.”
Watching the expression on Mo Weiyi’s beautiful face change, Xiao Yebai delivered another blow, “This matter will probably soon reach my father’s ears, and even grandfather’s… What do you think, how will they feel?”
