Chapter 2244: Chapter 48: My Money Is Enough for You to Spend Freely for a Lifetime

The atmosphere in the living room turned quiet for a moment.

Qin Qingqing looked at Mo Ziye’s handsome, calm demeanor, listening to him agree to her request without even discussing it with Shi Xi.

He made the decision for her.

Her heart inexplicably ached.

A dark shadow flashed across Mo Ziye’s eyes as he shifted his gaze from her face to Shi Xi, whose face had turned pale.

He spoke calmly, "Shi Xi, since Qingqing has made a request, you should have your manager prepare for the press conference."

"Ziye."

Shi Xi called out in distress.

She was a celebrity, and one with a pure image at that.

How could he agree to such a request just because Qin Qingqing asked?

To make her hold a press conference to apologize, publish it in the newspapers, and say sorry every time they meet her in the future.

No.

That was impossible.

She could never accept such humiliation.

"Are you unwilling?"

Mo Ziye’s voice suddenly turned cold.

To Shi Xi’s ears, her breath caught.

She instinctively shook her head, "Ziye, can we find another way? I can compensate Qingqing financially, and I promise I’ll never misunderstand her again. I’ll treat her like a sister..."

"My parents only have me as their daughter, so stop speaking nonsense."

Shi Xi’s words were cut off by Qin Qingqing’s mockery.

"What she lacks least is money, you don’t need to treat her like a sister, just stop bothering her from now on."

Mo Ziye stood up, walked out of the sofa, and stood in front of Shi Xi.

He said calmly, "Let’s go. Once the date for the press conference is confirmed, just inform Qingqing."

"Yes, you should leave now. Auntie didn’t prepare that much breakfast."

Tang Jinchen snorted coldly as he stood up, urging them to leave.

More accurately, he was urging Shi Xi to leave.

But since Mo Ziye wanted to leave with her, they naturally would not stop him.

Shi Xi glanced at Qin Qingqing, seeing she did not look at her or Mo Ziye.

She looked up at Mo Ziye’s cold brows and eyes, and the doubt that had just sprung up in her heart dissipated in his flawlessly handsome gaze.

"Let’s go."

Mo Ziye didn’t even glance at Qin Qingqing as he spoke to Shi Xi, then he walked towards the door.

Watching Shi Xi quickly follow Mo Ziye out of the living room, Qin Qingqing pursed her lips and said to Momo, "Sister Momo, have breakfast here."

"Alright."

Momo’s furrowed brow relaxed, smiling as she explained for Mo Ziye, "Qingqing, don’t blame Ziye, he’s not actually siding with Shi Xi."

Qin Qingqing raised her delicate eyebrows, smiling as she replied, "Sister Momo, I know Brother Ziyi isn’t siding with Shi Xi, and I’m not upset."

If he were truly siding with Shi Xi, he wouldn’t have asked Shi Xi to apologize to her.

He wouldn’t have asked her how to forgive Shi Xi just earlier.

"Shi Xi didn’t agree just now, Qingqing, aren’t you afraid she’ll back out?"

Tang Jinchen asked curiously.

Ye Zhan smiled faintly, "Whether Shi Xi backs out depends on whether Mo Ziye’s charm is enough."

"Shi Xi being willing to apologize to Qingqing means she loves Mo Ziye very much."

Tang Jinchen nodded, understanding now.

Momo feared Qingqing’s misunderstanding and added, "Shi Xi is just wishful thinking, if Ziye really liked her, he wouldn’t let her apologize to Qingqing."

Auntie came out of the kitchen at this moment, announcing that breakfast was ready.

Qin Qingqing then invited the three of them to have breakfast.

Meanwhile, outside the Qin villa.

Sitting in the car, Shi Xi was wiping her tears, "Ziye, isn’t it enough if I don’t provoke her anymore?"

"Anything is enough, but Qingqing set the terms, and you didn’t firmly oppose it."

Mo Ziye watched Shi Xi’s tears without any comforting words, but with a level of coldness that was almost unfeeling, "If you go back on your word now, Qingqing will definitely be angry, and my father and Uncle Qin are like brothers. My mother likes Qingqing more than she likes me."

The implication was, if she wanted to marry him, to become a part of the Mo family, she had to appease Qingqing.

If Qingqing didn’t like her, and casually said a few unfavorable words to his parents, she would have no hope.

Shi Xi was very troubled.

She wasn’t sure how deep the Mo and Qin families’ ties were.

But she had heard her father mention that Mo Xiuchen and Qin Mu were like brothers, and that back then, Qin Mu had jumped off a cliff for Wen Ran.

Surely Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran felt indebted to the Qin family for that, not to mention, Qingqing grew up in the Mo household...

She regretted letting jealousy cloud her judgment.

Why had she acted so impulsively without considering the consequences?

"Think it over and contact me later."

Mo Ziye finished speaking, then opened the car door and got out.

"Ziye..."

Shi Xi’s voice was drowned out by the sound of the car door closing.

Mo Ziye stepped back into the villa, his determination leaving Shi Xi no options.

In the dining room, Qin Qingqing saw Mo Ziye returning, a trace of surprise on her delicate face.

She blinked and then stood up from her seat.

She called out warmly, "Brother Ziyi, you sit down first, I’ll get you some utensils."

"Alright."

Mo Ziye’s expression softened with a trace of warmth, and he responded gently with one word, then walked to the table to sit down.

Ignoring the curious gazes from Ye Zhan and Tang Jinchen.

"Qingqing, after breakfast, you can drive us to the airport."

Qin Qingqing returned with utensils, and Tang Jinchen spoke cheerfully.

Mo Ziye took the utensils Qin Qingqing handed him, "I’ll drive you to the airport shortly."

"No need to trouble yourself, Qingqing can just take us."

"It’s no trouble at all, Uncle Qingfeng has things to do, and I don’t feel comfortable with Qingqing driving."

"The Qin family has drivers..."

Tang Jinchen didn’t want Mo Ziye to drive them, mainly to give Ye Zhan and Qin Qingqing a chance to spend time together.

If Qingqing and Ye Zhan got together, then she could stay in the Imperial City, and not be alone in G City.

Mo Ziye raised his handsome eyebrows and said indifferently, "Brother Ye has been staying at our house these past few days, I’ve been out on business trips and haven’t been able to properly entertain him. Last night, when I returned from a trip, my dad told me off for it."

"Then we’re troubling Young Master Yi."

Ye Zhan understood that he and Tang Jinchen had no choice, either agree to let Mo Ziye drive them.

Or abandon the idea of having Qingqing drive.

"Momo, you should come with us later, after we drop them off at the airport, you and Qingqing can go shopping."

Mo Ziye said this and then turned to look at Qin Qingqing, "Although we went to the luxury shopping district that night, you didn’t have a chance to shop, today, we’ll go there first. I have time today, you can shop as long as you like."

Opposite him, Ye Zhan’s movement of drinking porridge paused slightly.

Momo, on the other hand, was very happy, "Ziye, are you planning to be our free driver and bodyguard?"

"Something like that."

"Haha, Qingqing, did you hear? Later, don’t hesitate to buy whatever you want, Ziye as a bodyguard will even pay for it."

Mo Ziye’s lips curved into a warm smile, and he said to Qin Qingqing, "Yes, Momo is right, you’ve been back in the country for so long and haven’t properly gone shopping yet, buy whatever you want, the money I’ve earned over the years is enough for you to spend as lavishly as you want for a lifetime."
