The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 728, Sold by the Wife Again (1)

The hand that was clutching his arm went slack and knocked onto the ground.

Mo Chen gazed at the lifeless person in his embrace, his expression filled with grief, his lips moved, but the voice got stuck in his throat.

He held Mo Yu tightly, tears streaming down continuously.

Why wouldn’t she listen to his advice? Why did she have to corner herself into a dead end?

Across from him, Mo Su looked at Mo Chen’s sorrow with cold contempt, tinged with a hint of disdain.

A real man crying over this? Pathetic.

Gu Xinuo cast a glance at Mo Su and internally cursed her as a heartless woman.

In a lowered voice, she asked, "Ajiu, what should we do with her?"

They had originally planned to extract the whereabouts of the old Mo patriarch from Mo Yu’s lips, but now it seemed hopeless.

Mo Su, this person, was too cruel-hearted to be left alive.

Ye Jiuliang raised an eyebrow, his eyes deep, "We’ll wait a few more hours."

The silver needle she had applied with a special herb would take effect soon, and Mo Su’s spirit would be at its most tired and vulnerable. At that time, coaxing information out of her would be a lot easier.

Gu Xinuo smiled knowingly.

The scent of blood grew more pungent, making Ye Jiuliang uncomfortable to stay in the room any longer, and she left with Li Mochan and a few others.

Now that Mo Su was hit by the silver needle, she couldn’t cause any trouble. It did no harm for Mo Chen to stay with her.

Time slipped by quietly, and the bloodstains on the ground dried up.

The rigid silhouette stirred, Mo Chen put down Mo Yu and slowly rose to his feet.

He turned around, his face still bearing tear streaks, and met Mo Su’s scornful gaze without annoyance or anger.

"From today on, your life or death has nothing to do with me. Fend for yourself."

With that, he stepped towards the door.

"Mo Chen."

Mo Su’s voice came from behind, causing Mo Chen to pause in his steps.

"Mo Chen, I lost my control just now. I didn’t want this to happen. It was Ye Jiuliang who set us up to fight against each other. Take me with you, I promise I will not be like I am now." Mo Su leaned against the wall, her gaze dim as she stared at Mo Chen’s back, her tone unusually sincere.

"Mo Chen, for the sake of our brother-sister relationship, will you save me just this once?"

After a moment of contemplation, Mo Chen said without turning his head, "Mo Su, you’ve taken me hostage twice. Do you really think I’m so stupid as to give you a third opportunity?"

Mo Su’s expression turned slightly indignant, "You..."

Not wanting to waste time with her, Mo Chen opened the door and strode out.

Mo Su collapsed to the floor, watching the door close before her, completely devoid of strength.

Bastard.

Damnable.

In the living room, Ye Jiuliang leaned listlessly in Li Mochan’s arms.

Ever since she got pregnant, she could hardly stand the smell of blood.

The moment she smelled it, she felt dizzy like she did now.

Gu Xinuo watched this, finding it rare.

"Ajiu, here, have an orange." Gu Xinuo peeled half an orange and handed it to Ye Jiuliang.

Chu Chen felt sour, "..."

His peeled orange was given to Ye Jiuliang to eat, was she his wife or Ye Jiuliang’s wife?

Ye Jiuliang nibbled on the orange, glanced at Chu Chen, and hooked the corner of her lips up with a mischievous smile, "Achen, this orange is from Anuo, I didn’t steal it."

Was there really a need to look at her with such cold and hateful eyes?

Chu Chen jeered, "May it choke you."

Ye Jiuliang chuckled softly.

"Keep joking, Ajiu, but be careful your kid ends up unprincipled like you," Gu Xinuo said with amusement, seeing her regain her vitality.

"If his lordship was prim and proper, where would he find someone as good-looking as my Li Mochan?" As she spoke, Ye Jiuliang reached out and lightly flicked Li Mochan’s chin, her flirty gesture more hooligan than hooligan itself.

"Isn’t that right, Fifth Master Li?"

Li Mochan narrowed his cold eyes and grabbed her hand, "Behave yourself."

Teasing him without taking responsibility, she was asking for it.

Ye Jiuliang pouted and focused on eating her orange.

At that moment, Mo Chen’s silhouette whirled out in the stairwell.

His slender figure was bathed in the light, his expression a touch forlorn.

Ye Jiuliang sat up, lifted his gaze toward him, and waved his hand, "Mo Chen, come over here and sit."

Gu Xinuo shifted closer to Chu Chen to make room for Mo Chen.

With heavy steps, Mo Chen walked over, his face still streaked with tear marks.

"Have some water."

Ye Jiuliang poured a glass of water and placed it in front of him.

"Thank you," Mo Chen whispered, lifting the glass.

Ye Jiuliang gazed at him, her red lips parting slightly, "Mo Chen, are you mad at me?"

After taking a few big gulps of water to moisten his throat, Mo Chen set down the glass and shook his head lightly.

Was he upset with her for proposing a one-for-one exchange?

Or was it because she said only one person could leave?

No, he wasn’t upset with her, nor did he have the right to be.

She had saved him time and again. If it hadn’t been for his mother taking the initiative to cause trouble and repeatedly harming them, she wouldn’t have ended up in this situation today.

"Sister Ajiu, I know you just wanted me to face reality. I won’t concern myself with Mo Su’s affairs anymore," Mo Chen said with relief.

From now on, including his grandfather, he wouldn’t ask another question.

"However, there is one thing I still want to ask of you, Sister Ajiu. I want to bury my mother myself."

Meeting the plea in his eyes, Ye Jiuliang answered, "Okay."

Mo Chen broke into a smile through tears, "Sister Ajiu, thank you."

"Where are you staying now?"

"A hotel," he replied, his voice sinking again.

Now that there was no one left at home, it didn’t matter where he stayed alone.

Ye Jiuliang raised an eyebrow, "Dad is moving in with us, do you want to join?"

With old Mr. Mo lurking in the shadows, she wasn’t comfortable with him living alone either.

Mo Chen’s eyes sparkled, his lips curbing a restrained smile, "May I?"

Ye Jiuliang hummed in affirmation.

Everything was turning out joyously. Gu Xinuo’s pink lips curved slightly, "Are you guys staying here for lunch?"

"Are you treating?" Ye Jiuliang teased.

Gu Xinuo grinned slyly, "Achen is paying."

Sold by his wife again.

Chu Chen had an expression of helplessness.

He inwardly affirmed several times, it’s his own doing, his own doing...

**

VIP ward.

Coming up on noon, Jiang Hai and the others went back to have lunch first.

Jennifer was the only one left.

No matter how Jiang Yisheng signaled with his eyes, Veya paid him no heed, walking off stylishly hand in hand with her husband.

It served him right for daring to skip out on the blind date, and he surely deserved to be properly dealt with.

The atmosphere was cold enough to make things awkward.

Using fatigue as an excuse, Jiang Yisheng snuck back to his hospital bed.

His slender fingers caressed the pendant, the green diamond shining brilliantly, dazzling his mind.

Jiang Yisheng glanced at the wall clock and frowned.

Where had Ji Mingqian run off to? He said he’d be out for just a moment, but it’s been over an hour now, and there’s still no sign of him.

Suddenly, a coquettish voice came from outside, "Brother Yisheng, I ordered takeout. Why don’t you come out and eat something?"

Jiang Yisheng shuddered, his skin crawling. After some thought, he still got out from under the covers.

It wasn’t right to keep her waiting outside indefinitely; it was better to invite her back in as soon as possible.

Walking into the outer room, a scent of steak permeated the air.
