My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day-Chapter 815 - : 815, I have admired President Xiao for a long time

Chapter 815: 815, I have admired President Xiao for a long time

Dressed in a C-brand two-piece professional skirt suit, she looked the part, but her makeup was thick and vibrant. She even intentionally unbuttoned one more button at her blouse’s neckline, revealing a suggestive glimpse of cleavage, clearly indicating a certain ulterior motive.

At that moment, her pair of slender, enticing phoenix eyes gazed fiercely at Xiao Yebai, the corners of her rose-red lips curling into a smile, with unabashed adoration in her eyes.

Mo Weiyi was a woman too, and naturally, she saw through it at a glance.

She unconsciously furrowed her brow.

But soon, she remembered that the two were now divorced. Today she was only accompanying him to put on a show of marital bliss, letting the whole world know their relationship was very stable, everything at Mo Family was fine, and thereby fill everyone with confidence in Mo Group’s future development…

So, she indifferently shifted her gaze away.

...

The room fell silent for a moment.

Then Ye Bei quickly said with a smile, “Yunong, let me introduce you…”

“No need for introductions,” Zhou Yunong’s voice was lazy yet delicate, “The famous Miss Mo, how could I not know of her? Moreover, she is President Xiao’s wife.”

After finishing, she stretched out her right hand, “Miss Mo, hello.”

Mo Weiyi was looking elsewhere, and on hearing this, she showed no reaction, as if she was completely engrossed in something else.

Xiao Yebai looked down at her for a moment, then followed her line of sight.

Ye Bei hurriedly joined in looking in the same direction.

Zhou Yunong’s hand hung stiffly in mid-air.

Her gaze swept across the faces of the three, her mouth corners subtly mocking, then she withdrew her hand and said, “Did Miss Mo spot an acquaintance?”

Upon hearing this, Mo Weiyi seemed to finally snap out of it, brought her gaze back, and at last gave her a direct look, “What did you say?”

Zhou Yunong’s expression briefly froze, then she quickly said, “I said, I’ve long admired President Xiao, and I’ve long heard of his wife’s great reputation.”

Mo Weiyi laughed lightly, “Long admired?”

Ye Bei rushed to say, “Yunong’s father is President Zhou Hetang of Zhou Group, the person in charge of the cooperation with Mo Family this time. Yunong has been interning in the investment department of Zhou Group lately, so she’s also involved in this cooperation project. She only recently got in touch with President Xiao.”

Involved, got in touch…

It sounded like an explanation, but he deliberately highlighted the key points.

Mo Weiyi nodded, then turned her face slightly towards Ye Bei, “So, you are now working for Zhou Group?”

Ye Bei was surprised, “No, I’m just…”

“If not, why are you introducing her so eagerly?” Mo Weiyi interrupted him, “Anyone who didn’t know better would think Ye Family’s company has gone bankrupt and that now you’re flatteringly serving Miss Zhou.”

The term “flatteringly serving” instantly stiffened the smile on Ye Bei’s face.

Even though he had several experiences of her potency before, this was a business reception, and all the representatives from major companies in Nancheng were present.

In such a setting, everyone cared about their face. That’s why he brought Zhou Yunong over, hoping to deliberately provoke Mo Weiyi. He hadn’t expected her to actually…

“Miss Mo has misunderstood,” Zhou Yunong spoke up. “Ye Bei is a good friend of mine; we’ve known each other for many years.”

“Good friend?” Mo Weiyi arched her red lips, “It seems Miss Zhou’s taste isn’t that great. Why pick your friends out of a trash heap?”

First labeled “flatteringly serving” and now “trash”, Ye Bei’s refined temperament was strained to its limits, “Miss Mo, can you please speak respectfully?”

“Are you admitting you’re ‘trash’ now? I don’t recall mentioning your name, did I?” Mo Weiyi sneered, “You’d own up to it voluntarily? How admirable.”

“You…”

“However, your self-awareness is surprisingly accurate.” Mo Weiyi’s smile vanished, her beautiful face suddenly turning icy, articulating each word, “In my eyes, you’re indeed less than trash.”

Ye Bei gnawed on his back molars, his face looking as if someone had slapped him, hot and unsightly.

He never expected that after such a long time without seeing each other, he would greet her with a smile, yet Mo Weiyi would not give him any face at all, and even spoke so harshly.

The scene at the business cocktail party was usually quite orderly. Even when discussing business, people would control their volume or find an area to sit down and chat privately so as not to disturb others.

Thus, in such a relatively quiet setting, when Mo Weiyi spoke like that, and since they just happened to be standing in the center of the banquet hall with many people nearby, those who heard had already looked over, while others were incessantly pointing and talking.

Ye Bei was finding it difficult to save face.

He glanced at Xiao Yebai, whose expression remained indifferent, and lowered his voice, “President Xiao just concluded a cooperation with the Zhou Family. I advise Miss Mo to be more mindful of what she says. If things get blown up, it won’t look good for President Xiao either.”

Xiao Yebai raised his eyebrows slightly but did not speak.

It was not clear if he had heard or not.

Zhou Yunong looked at him, then turned to Mo Weiyi.

Mo Weiyi nodded, “Fine, let’s drop the subject. After all, I’m too lazy to talk about the disgraceful things you’ve done.”

Zhou Yunong’s expression was playful, and she was about to speak…

“However, my bodyguard is right over there. Do you want me to have him come over and spill all your dirty laundry? There are also photos of you and Tian Ye in bed. I can have him project them onto the big screen right away and let everyone here have an eyeful.”

“You…” Ye Bei’s expression twisted as if he had swallowed a hundred flies, strangled and frustrated.

But it was clear that his earlier momentum had dissipated in an instant.

He was cowed.

Mo Weiyi’s bodyguard was indeed a simple-minded and physically strong martial artist who would do anything at a word from Mo Weiyi. Last time, he completely disregarded the occasion and beat Ye Bei into the hospital…

He was the son of the Ye Family, representing Ye Family Enterprises today, and he couldn’t afford to lose face.

“Why must Miss Mo get so angry?” Zhou Yunong said with a smile, trying to smooth things over, “It’s bad for the baby if a pregnant woman gets angry.”

Mo Weiyi squinted her beautiful cat-like eyes and smiled faintly, “Okay, then please make way. It’s not good for a pregnant woman to stand for too long. I need to rest.”

Zhou Yunong: “…”

She nodded, holding her wine glass, and took a step back.

Mo Weiyi held her chin high, her hands lifting the hem of her lace dress, like a proud queen, gracefully walking past her towards the front.

She did not speak, but Xiao Yebai, as if having no objections, quickly followed her.

His demeanor was that of a husband following his wife’s lead.

Zhou Yunong’s gaze lingered regretfully on that tall and straight silhouette, until the two turned a corner and could no longer be seen…

She retracted her gaze, her slender phoenix eyes slowly looking around. Those who had been pointing and gossiping immediately reined themselves in.

The place also returned to order.

She said, “This Mo Weiyi is not quite what I expected.”

Ye Bei gloomily picked up his wine and gulped down a large mouthful.

He should have known better than to mess with Mo Weiyi, because although she came from high society, she lacked the self-awareness befitting a lady of her standing.

Take Zhou Yunong, for instance.

Raunchy as her private life might be, in public, she still maintained the dignity of a lady of status.

Because she knew her identity, especially when outside, her every word and action represented the face of the Zhou Family.

But Mo Weiyi was different. If she was in a good mood, she might grace you with a smile, but in a bad mood, she would turn her face and show no mercy, her sharp tongue piercing straight to the heart. Relying on Xiao Yebai to back her up, she habitually acted capriciously and domineeringly, and with a personal bodyguard to boot…

“I really don’t know what Yebai sees in her!”

Hearing this, Zhou Yunong’s eyes shifted, “Then tell me, how does our Zhou Family compare to the Mo Family?”

Ye Bei was taken aback for a moment, then immediately laughed, “Yunong, are you kidding?”

No matter how powerful the Mo Family might be, they were only a wealthy family with strong financial resources. They couldn’t compare to the deep-rooted, prestigious aristocratic family like the Zhou Family.

“Then tell me, if it were me, compared to Weiyi, which one would men choose?”

Ye Bei pretended to be dumb, “Weiyi is already married, of course, they would choose you!”

Zhou Yunong smiled and said no more.

On the other side, Weiyi sat down in a corner sofa.

A waiter quickly came over to pour her a drink.

“Get her a glass of plain water,” a man’s deep voice came from behind.

Weiyi did not speak.

When Xiao Yebai sat down beside her, it was as if he was explaining, “Later, we still have a meeting with President Zhou. You can’t handle your liquor, so don’t drink first.”

The sofa area was quite hidden, and Weiyi had glanced around earlier; there was no one near them, so there was no need to pretend. She spoke directly, “I want to go back.”

Xiao Yebai said, “We’ve only been here for an hour.”

“I want to go back!” Weiyi puffed up her little face, clearly unhappy, “If you won’t go back, then I’ll go back by myself! I have already accompanied you for an hour, and everyone has seen me.”

Xiao Yebai looked at her pouting figure, the corners of his mouth swiftly twitched, and he quickly said, “We’re already here, stay with me a little longer.”

“I don’t understand your business matters.”

“Didn’t you hear what Miss Zhou just said?”

Weiyi’s expression froze, then she pursed her lips, “What did she say?”

Xiao Yebai didn’t answer, because she couldn’t possibly have not heard.

“Oh.” It was as if Weiyi suddenly remembered, “That’s nice, she’s interested in you.”

At that moment, the waiter came and placed a glass of plain water down.

Xiao Yebai picked up the glass and handed it to her, “I’m not interested in her.”

Weiyi: “…”

She took the glass of water and suddenly said, “She’s pretty and has a good family background, and she also studies investment, just like you. You should have a lot in common.”

Just from these points alone, Weiyi genuinely thought this Zhou Yunong was quite good.

It’s just that her taste in men was really poor.

First befriending Ye Bei, and now she actually fancies Xiao Yebai, a married man…

After all, the news of their divorce hadn’t been announced publicly. To everyone else, Xiao Yebai was still Weiyi’s husband. But just now, that Zhou Yunong was just short of having the words “I covet your body” written on her face…

Xiao Yebai’s gaze remained on her face. Hearing her words, he still didn’t show much of a reaction, and his tone was very calm, “Are you picking my next marriage partner for me?”

“I was just saying,” Weiyi took a sip of water, “It’s none of my business.”

“If that’s the case,” Xiao Yebai’s tone suddenly turned cold, “then don’t say anything at all.”

Weiyi again: “…”

She looked up at the man.

His handsome face seemed somewhat stern, as if he was angry.

But…

Why was he angry?

She hadn’t really said anything, had she?

Really.

After taking a few sips of water, Weiyi suddenly realized something.

Was she actually chatting with Xiao Yebai here?!

And they were even talking about another woman…

Weiyi abruptly put down the glass, “I’m going to the restroom.”

Xiao Yebai got up, but suddenly two men in suits approached.

“President Xiao, good to see you, I am from Podong Capital…”

“Excuse me for a moment, I need to step away,” Xiao Yebai said.

The man looked at Weiyi, “Is Madame Xiao going somewhere?”

Weiyi quickly said, “Rong An will accompany me, you talk with them.”

Xiao Yebai glanced toward the back of the banquet hall.

Tonight, as soon as Rong An entered, he found a secluded spot to stay in. At this moment, he seemed to have realized as well and quickly walked over.

He nodded, “Alright.”

…

Actually, Weiyi didn’t want to go to the restroom; she just wanted to get some fresh air.

But when she pushed open the cubicle door, she saw Zhou Yunong standing in front of the sink.

Zhou Yunong quickly saw Weiyi in the mirror as well, her lips curling up as she turned around to greet her, “Miss Mo, what a coincidence to see you again.”

Weiyi nodded her head, considering it a greeting.

As she approached the mirror, with the sound of running water from the tap, Zhou Yunong suddenly asked, “Miss Mo, do you dislike me?”

Weiyi carefully washed her hands, then slightly turned her face to look at her, “Miss Zhou, why would you say that?”

Zhou Yunong said with a smile, “Otherwise, I really can’t understand why Miss Mo would be so impolite to me.”

Impolite?

Heh.

Weiyi couldn’t help but want to laugh.

In fact, she did laugh, “Miss Zhou, I’m not a man. Do I have to smile at you with all my teeth showing to not be considered impolite?”

“Not necessarily, but my judgment of women is usually very accurate,” Zhou Yunong concluded, “You have hostility toward me.”

Since she was so direct, Weiyi was not going to be polite either, “You have designs on my husband, isn’t it normal for me to be hostile?”
