The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 725, Can be eccentric to this extent (1)

Chu Chen walked over, his indifferent eyes looking towards Mo Chen, speaking in a gentle tone, "Mo Chen, we can’t make decisions about this matter. You should wait for Sister Ajiu to come."

Knowing that they were in a difficult position, Mo Chen didn’t insist. He lightly nodded his head.

After a short while, a knocking sound echoed once again.

"Thud, thud--"

Chu Chen stood up to open the door, and without surprise, it was Ye Jiuliang and Li Mochan.

Seeing only the two of them, he asked, "Where’s Aqian?"

"He’s still taking care of Asheng. He’ll probably come over later," Ye Jiuliang said as he stepped into the room, walked past the entryway, and his gaze fell upon the young man seated on the sofa. She paused slightly.

"Mo Chen, why are you here?"

"Sister Ajiu." Seeing her, Mo Chen stood up, knowing the foolish things his mother had done behind closed doors. He now felt ashamed to face Ye Jiuliang.

Gu Xinuo glanced at Ye Jiuliang, and they exchanged a look, a trace of understanding flashing through her eyes.

She raised an eyebrow, probably guessing the reason for Mo Chen’s visit.

"Have you had breakfast?"

Mo Chen nodded obediently, "I’ve eaten."

"Why are you standing? Sit down." Seeing him standing still, Ye Jiuliang said helplessly.

Mo Chen made an acknowledging sound and sat down opposite her.

Instantly, silence enveloped the surroundings.

She didn’t speak, and Mo Chen didn’t know how to start.

Just the things that Mo Yu had done were enough to fill him with shame. He couldn’t bring himself to utter a word of plea.

"Sister Ajiu, I..." He started, bracing himself, but the words halted in his throat.

After struggling for a long time, he still couldn’t articulate a complete sentence.

In the end, it was Ye Jiuliang who spoke for him, "Want to see Mo Yu?"

Mo Chen nodded, his eyes darting away, afraid to look at her.

"You can," Ye Jiuliang agreed readily.

Mo Chen was stunned, lifting his head, his eyes brimming with disbelief.

She was willing to let him see his mother?

"Why are you looking at me?" Ye Jiuliang stood up, her tone casual, "Let’s go. I’ll take you there. You’ll have limited time."

At her words, Mo Chen immediately rose and followed her footsteps.

Watching their figures disappear around the stairwell, Gu Xinuo sighed, "I hope Mo Chen can come to terms with reality soon."

This time, Ajiu was absolutely not going to let Mo Yu and her daughter off the hook, even Mo Chen couldn’t persuade Ajiu to change her mind.

"Is Yisheng doing better?" Chu Chen looked at Li Mochan, who was quietly by his side, showing concern for Jiang Yisheng’s condition.

Li Mochan spoke with a muted warmth, "With Ji Mingqian taking care of him, what do you think?"

In his words, disapproval for Ji Mingqian was barely concealed, and Chu Chen suppressed a laugh, "Then why do you let him stay there."

Aqian as a caregiver was practically a disaster.

Li Mochan glared at him, clearly Ji Mingqian was the one shamelessly insisting on staying there.

The long corridor twisted and turned.

Its quietness was tinged with a hint of eeriness.

Never had Mo Chen imagined that the house had a basement. He looked around curiously, closely following Ye Jiuliang.

Suddenly, the figure in front stopped.

Mo Chen hastily halted his steps, a glimmer of confusion appearing in his eyes.

"This is the room," Ye Jiuliang said as she pressed the fingerprint scanner on the door, her voice calm and cool, "You only have ten minutes. Go in by yourself."

Mo Chen hummed an acknowledgment.

The heavy iron door was pushed open, clanging loudly.

Mo Chen took a deep breath and stepped inside.

Ye Jiuliang’s gaze flickered slightly, her toe lightly hooked, and the iron gate closed once again.

Turning around, she leaned against the wall and took out a lollipop from her pocket, slowly unwrapping the candy coating.

Inside, the windows were tightly shut.

The lighting was dim, lit only by a small orange lamp.

"Who?"

Hearing someone enter, the three people in the corner became instantly alert.

When they saw clearly who it was, joy lit up Mo Yu’s eyes.

"Mo Chen." She pushed herself off the wall and stood up, her hoarse voice tinged with excitement, "Mo Chen, why are you here, come over quickly."

Mo Chen’s legs were planted firmly in place, looking at the disheveled woman not far away with an expression too complex for words.

For the first time in his life, he saw his mother in such a wretched state.

As he moved, a faint smell of blood permeated the air.

Only then did Mo Chen notice the blood-soaked clothes on Mo Yu. As he got closer, the stench of blood grew stronger.

She had lost too much blood and hadn’t rested well. In just one night, Mo Yu’s complexion had turned pale and her temples even showed a few silver strands of hair.

Dragging her feet, Mo Yu approached Mo Chen, clutched his arm urgently, "Mo Chen, were you captured by Ye Jiuliang too?"

Mo Chen shook his head, explaining, "I asked Sister Ajiu to bring me here."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she remembered something and looked at Mo Chen with a hint of hope, "Where’s your dad, where is he?"

"My dad, he said..." Mo Chen hesitated, his gaze downcast and faltering.

"He said what?" she asked, urging him on.

"My dad said that, no matter how Ajiu wants to deal with you, he won’t interfere and has no objections." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The cruel words tore apart the last shred of hope in Mo Yu, and her hand clutching Mo Chen’s arm tightened before slipping away.

Her frail body lost its balance and staggered.

Mo Chen reached out to support her, "Mom."

Mo Yu’s mind was muddled, unable to take in any other sounds.

All those years as husband and wife, and Ye Yuan was truly so ruthless towards her.

He wasn’t concerned about her life or death?

Hmph.

Could a person’s heart really be so biased?

Just because of Ye Jiuliang?

In the corner, Mo Yu sat on the ground, face expressionless but showing a mocking cold smile upon hearing Mo Chen’s words.

Indeed, men are unreliable.

She only blamed her mother for being foolish, for not heeding her maternal grandfather’s advice. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have ended up in this state today.

Seeing Mo Yu’s dazed look, Mo Chen felt somewhat reluctant, "Mom, why don’t you apologize to Sister Ajiu? Ask Grandpa to stop opposing her and stop harming them. If you truly repent, I’ll plead with Sister Ajiu..."

"Shut up." Mo Yu shook off his hand, furious.

Caught by her bloodshot eyes, Mo Chen was momentarily stunned.

"Expecting me to apologize to Ye Jiuliang? She can dream," Mo Yu said sharply in scolding, "It was she who destroyed my family, my own son sides with her and speaks for her. Who is being unreasonable? To bow down to her, Ye Jiuliang, is unthinkable."

Mo Chen looked at her, his eyes gradually filling with disappointment.

Even now, she didn’t have a shred of remorse.

A sense of relief flashed in his eyes, "Mom, things obtained by force will never truly be yours. You schemed so much, and in the end, it was all for naught. If you keep being deluded, I can’t help you anymore."

"Help me?"

The questioning tone was full of doubt.

Mo Yu let out a scornful laugh, "From the beginning, you sided with Ye Jiuliang against me. You never considered my difficulties, my grievances."

"I gave birth to you, raised you, but in your heart, I’m less than a stranger like Ye Jiuliang. Mo Chen, you and Ye Yuan are too cruel to me, much too cruel." As she spoke, the tears she was holding back finally fell.
