My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day-Chapter 874 - 874 Nanchengs most notable business tycoon
Chapter 874: 874, Nancheng’s most notable business tycoon Chapter 874: 874, Nancheng’s most notable business tycoon Although she never had much affection for Xiao Yebai, when such an incident occurred, Su Wanwan was the first to drive to Nangong Hospital.
By the time she arrived at the hospital, Xiao Yebai’s surgery had already been completed.
Outside the intensive care unit, Dr. Liu briefly explained the surgical situation.
Due to the deep abdominal knife wound, Xiao Yebai had fainted on the spot from excessive blood loss.
Although Ling Zhizhou’s attack was fierce, he was only a student with no real strength, so he fortunately did not damage the spleen inside.
Next door, Zhan Yao was making a report with a colleague.
After listening briefly, she got a general understanding of the whole matter.
Su Wanwan hadn’t expected that Ling Zhizhou had actually come to seek revenge on the Mo Family…
Although she had always found Ling Zhizhou somewhat odd, despite being just a junior, he was always very proactive and enthusiastic towards Mo Weiyi.
But since he never overstepped his bounds, Su Wanwan didn’t think too much about it, until now…
So, was Weiyi’s departure actually a blessing in disguise, saving her own life?
The thought of how often Ling Zhizhou had found chances to be alone with Mo Weiyi at school sent shivers down her spine.
As the police left, Huo Jingshen spoke politely, “Uncle, if there’s anything you need help with, please just let us know.”
Mo Yaoxiong nodded, “Thank you.”
Su Wanwan looked at him.
In her memory, Mo Yaoxiong had always been serious and rarely smiled. He appeared rugged and his every action was solemn, clearly not an approachable person.
Even as good as her relationship with Mo Weiyi was, she really had never had much interaction with the Mo Family people, including Xiao Yebai. She always felt as if they were from two different worlds.
But now…
This once domineering man now looked dazed, speaking as if he was out of breath…
Under these tremendous blows, it seemed as though he had completely changed.
**
Leaving the hospital room.
In the elevator, Nangong Ci curiously asked, “Sister-in-law, do you really not know where the Little Princess has gone?”
Su Wanwan looked at him irritably, “Do you think if I knew, I would let her leave?”
“True,” Nangong Ci shook his head, “She’s pregnant, so where could she go? Could she be hiding somewhere in Nancheng?”
“You mean she flew to Hokkaido and then flew back from there?” Chu Xiuhuang scoffed, “Do you think everyone’s brain is as scrambled as yours?”
“There’s a saying, ‘The most dangerous place is the safest place!’ After all, the Little Princess is pregnant. She can’t go too far; her body wouldn’t take it…”
“Once a woman is fiercely determined, you can’t even imagine.”
After saying this, Shi Huan immediately cast a strange look at him.
“Cough cough,” Chu Xiuhuang quickly coughed twice, “Wife, didn’t Little Luoluo say she wanted to eat ice cream cake? Let’s go to that internet-famous cake shop I found online yesterday with the highest rating.”
Shi Huan frowned, “But I’m free this afternoon. Never mind, I don’t need to buy it; I’ll make it for Luoluo myself.”
“It’s so much trouble to make it yourself, let’s just go buy it.”
“Cakes from outside are too sweet; too much sugar is bad for kids’ teeth…”
“Then how about we first go buy the tools and ingredients, then pick up Luoluo and head home?”
“Sounds good.”
The couple, oblivious to others, came to an agreement. Chu Xiuhuang waved his hand, “Brother, sister-in-law, we’ll be leaving first.”
Shi Huan looked at the others, “Aci, Lawyer Lu, goodbye.”
Nangong Ci’s smile was radiant, “Second brother, second sister-in-law, goodbye!”
Chu Xiuhuang looked towards Lu Chenyu, his eyebrows knitting, “Fourth brother!”
Lu Chenyu was still in a daze.
Not until Nangong Ci pushed his shoulder, “What’s the matter? Second sister-in-law was talking to you.”
Lu Chenyu snapped back, “Oh, goodbye.”
“What’s been going on?” Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, “Why have you been so absent-minded lately?”
Ever since the day old Mr. Mo passed away, the fourth brother had been like someone possessed, no longer chatting in the WeChat group, never coming out to socialize when called, as if he was endlessly busy…
Chu Xiuhuang spread his hands with a handsome face, “It’s nothing.”
“Enough, second brother, fourth brother is probably just worried about getting married. I heard my parents talking about it; Uncle and Aunt have been setting him up on blind dates lately, none of which have been successful,” Nangong Ci winked.
“So that’s it,” Chu Xiuhuang nodded sympathetically, “That must indeed be quite troubling.”
As someone who had also been subjected to arranged blind dates by the family elders, Chu Xiuhuang could truly empathize. Fortunately, now he was settled down with a wife and child at home…
Thinking this, Chu Xiuhuang’s smile deepened, and he couldn’t help but wrap his arm around Shi Huan’s slim waist, “Alright, wife, let’s not waste words with them. Let’s go shopping.”
Su Wanwan waved, “Bye, Huanhuan.”
After they had left, Huo Jingshen said, “Let’s go as well.”
Su Wanwan nodded, then looked towards Lu Chenyu, “Lawyer Lu.”
Lu Chenyu was frowning, his eyes narrowing behind his glasses, deep in thought.
Su Wanwan: “…”
Nangong Ci had no choice but to push him again harder, “Damn it! Your sister-in-law is talking to you!”
Lu Chenyu sighed, “Sister-in-law, what can I do for you?”
Su Wanwan frowned, “I heard that your father was in charge of Old Mr. Mo’s will. That being said, has Weiyi been in contact with your father?”
Hearing this, Huo Jingshen immediately looked at someone.
Lu Chenyu expressionlessly said, “Yes.”
“In that case, could you ask your uncle if Weiyi mentioned where she might go? Maybe there’s a clue,” Su Wanwan immediately said.
“Alright,” Lu Chenyu continued expressionlessly.
…
After leaving the hospital, Su Wanwan sighed, “Where could Weiyi have gone? If I tell her about Xiao Yebai’s injury, would she come back?”
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow but did not respond.
“Never mind,” Su Wanwan sighed again, “I don’t even know where she is, so how can I tell her about Xiao Yebai being hurt?”
**
At night, at the Lu Family’s villa.
Lu Chenyu answered the call from Su Wanwan.
“Sorry, my dad said he doesn’t know where Weiyi went; she didn’t tell him,” she said.
“I see,” Su Wanwan’s tone was desolate, “Well then, I won’t disturb your rest anymore, goodbye.”
After hanging up, Lu Chenyu checked the time.
It was past eight in the evening.
The time difference between J Country and China is 12 hours, exactly reversing day and night.
Lu Chenyu thought for a moment and dialed an overseas phone number.
The phone rang a few times before someone answered, “Master?”
Lu Chenyu asked, “Have you seen the news?”
“What news?”
Lu Chenyu’s lips twitched slightly, “Haven’t you seen the news from Nancheng since you left?”
“What’s there to see, anyway… I’ve already left,” Mo Weiyi replied, “Master, did something happen?”
Lu Chenyu didn’t hide it, “Xiao Yebai was injured yesterday.”
“What?”
“But he’s already out of life-threatening danger.”
“…Oh.”
Listening to the obvious change in her voice on the other end of the phone, Lu Chenyu asked, “Are you still very worried about him?”
“…” The phone was silent for a while before Mo Weiyi finally said, “It would be a lie to say I don’t care, but even if I do, he’s no longer my concern. It’s good that he’s alright, the Mo Family cannot be without him now…”
“He was attacked at the airport and got injured,” Lu Chenyu said in a flat voice, recapping the event before asking her, “I heard that Ling Zhizhou is your junior? He’s been sued and might be going to prison.”
Mo Weiyi didn’t react much, “It’s my fault, I didn’t know Ling Zhizhou had a grudge against the Mo Family, he never mentioned it.”
“What if…”
“Master, I have to go to the hospital for a pregnancy check-up this morning,” Mo Weiyi interrupted.
Lu Chenyu, cut off mid-sentence, raised an eyebrow, “Ok then, I’ll hang up.”
Just as he was about to hang up…
“Master,” Mo Weiyi suddenly called out to him again, “Thank you for helping me.”
Lu Chenyu’s expressionless handsome face twitched slightly again, “Alright, go on with your business.”
After that, he immediately hung up the phone.
After thinking it over, he deleted the call log.
**
Xiao Yebai’s head injury had not fully healed, and he had also been stabbed in the abdomen, a deep wound that bled profusely.
Therefore, he had to stay in the intensive care unit for three full days before being transferred to the ordinary VIP ward.
By the time he woke up, he had been unconscious for almost four days.
Morning sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting golden light all over the ward.
On the hospital bed, Xiao Yebai frowned and then opened his eyes.
Mo Yaoxiong, who had been waiting by his side, saw it first, his face lit up with joy as he quickly got up and pressed the bedside call button.
“Yebai, you’ve finally woken up? How do you feel, is there any discomfort?”
Soon another man’s voice followed, “Did Yebai wake up?”
It was Zhan Yao.
He rushed to the bedside, “Damn grandpa, you finally woke up? I thought you were going to become a vegetable, do you know you’ve been unconscious for four days!”
Xiao Yebai looked at the two men, his throat painfully sore, and it took all his strength to finally ask, “Where’s Weiyi?”
Mo Yaoxiong’s expression changed.
Zhan Yao also had a strange look, “What did you say?”
Xiao Yebai’s handsome face was particularly pale, his eyes moved but he said nothing more.
The room returned to silence.
Suddenly.
“Did you freaking lose your memory?” Zhan Yao blurted out.
Why else would he start by asking for the Little Princess’s name upon waking up?
The Little Princess had already left almost half a month ago, and it was before he fell unconscious…
Mo Yaoxiong’s brows also furrowed deeply, “Yebai, do you know how you got injured?”
Faced with this question, Xiao Yebai simply closed his eyes.
This made Zhan Yao even more worried.
No way?
Did he really lose his memory?
Doesn’t even remember how he got injured?
Soon, Dr. Liu entered the ward with a nurse.
Zhan Yao rushed over to him, “Dr. Liu, please come check, Yebai might have lost his memory?”
Dr. Liu kept a straight face, conducted a thorough examination on Xiao Yebai, and then asked a few simple questions.
Xiao Yebai’s face was pale, his voice hoarse, but he still answered each question.
Listening, Zhan Yao thought: It seems nothing is amiss; he knows his name is Xiao Yebai, and can even recognize 12345…
As expected.
Dr. Liu put down his stethoscope, “There shouldn’t be any other issues. Rest well during this period, keep your diet light, and avoid getting out of bed too easily. The wound on your abdomen is deep, and if you notice any bleeding, immediately call a doctor or nurse…”
After the doctor and nurse left, Zhan Yao looked at the man in the hospital bed, “You freaking didn’t lose your memory, did you?”
Xiao Yebai was already being helped to sit up, his handsome face pale as paper.
“Do you know whose name you just called out?”
Xiao Yebai continued to remain silent.
Zhan Yao curled his lips slightly.
Forget it.
“Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?” Mo Yaoxiong spoke up from the side.
Xiao Yebai still did not speak.
Glancing at Mo Yaoxiong, Zhan Yao cleared his throat twice, “Chairman, maybe… let the servants prepare some porridge and bring it over.”
“…Okay,” Mo Yaoxiong found his way out and took the opportunity to pull out his phone, “I will go outside to make a call.”
Once he had left, Zhan Yao passed over a water cup with a straw inserted.
“Your dad has been really worried about you these past few days. He has been personally taking care of you here every night. Although what he did was wrong, I know it’s hard for you to accept, but he is your biological father after all, and blood is thicker than water! Over the years, I feel he has indeed been quite good to you, always defending you…”
“Shut up.” After drinking some water, Xiao Yebai’s voice was no longer so coarse and hoarse, but it still sounded very suppressed.
Zhan Yao had no choice but to change the topic, “Right, on the day of the incident, Ling Zhizhou had already confessed and even exposed several accomplices who went with him, including spies planted inside the Mo Group. I wondered how they knew you were returning to the country that day. But don’t worry, I have already sent these people to jail. How about that? Your buddy moved fast, right? Rest assured, no one will dare to bully you anymore…”
Xiao Yebai put down the water cup, closed his eyes, and his face showed not a hint of emotion.
Upon hearing these words, he showed no surprise or any other emotion.
Maybe he was tired?
After all, he had been lying down for several days, without drinking water, relying only on IV fluids…
Zhan Yao stood up, “Alright then, you rest well. If you need anything, just ring the call bell. I’m going to head back now.”
**
Outside.
“Chairman.” Zhan Yao spoke, “I have business back at the station, I should get going.”
“Wait a moment,” Mo Yaoxiong called out to him, “How are things with Ling Zhizhou?”
“Oh, he had already confessed on the day of the incident and even named the mastermind behind him, including spies planted in the Mo Group. Honestly, it seems like the death of his sister might have provoked him, leading to his impulsive crime.”
Seeing Mo Yaoxiong’s expression, Zhan Yao quickly added, “But even if it was impulsive, it still constitutes intentional assault.”
“How long will he be sentenced?”
“His confession was good, so he should be sentenced to at least three years.”
“Three years…” Mo Yaoxiong frowned deeply, “Can you arrange for me to meet him?”
“Yes,” Zhan Yao nodded, “I’ll arrange it when I get back.”
“Thank you.”
Zhan Yao smiled, “You’re welcome.”
**
The next morning, at the Nancheng Detention Center.
Mo Yaoxiong sat behind the table, looking at the young man opposite him with a childlike face, “So, you are Lingling’s younger brother…”
“What are you doing here?” Ling Zhizhou interrupted him.
He had been locked up for several days now, his hair shaved off, dressed in prison clothes, his handsome brows and eyes now filled with resentment and hatred.
Mo Yaoxiong sighed, “I want to talk to you about your sister.”
Ling Zhizhou gritted his teeth as he looked at him, “My sister was killed by you! Once I get out, the next stab will go into your body! You better wait for me!”
Facing his intense emotions, Mo Yaoxiong remained unmoved, slowly beginning his narrative:
“I first met your sister at a nightclub. She was only eighteen years old then, the youngest and most beautiful dancer there…”
“At the time, she was being harassed and forced to drink by a few thugs. I couldn’t stand it, so I had my bodyguards rescue her.”
“Later, I was at that nightclub again to discuss business, and I drank too much that night. When I woke up, we were lying in the same bed.”
“I was already married then, but it wasn’t the first time something like this had happened; men often drink and socialize, and some things are inevitable…”
“I gave your sister a sum of money, hoping this incident would be as if it never happened, and at the time, she agreed.”
“But what I didn’t anticipate was that your sister outwardly agreed, but secretly sought out my wife. My wife, Xu Xian… she is a very gentle and wise woman. She didn’t create a scene or ask me for any explanations at first, but instead negotiated alone with your sister.”
“Your sister said she only wanted to be with me, without any official status, so Xu Xian gave her two options.”
“First, your sister could be with me, but she must sign a nondisclosure agreement, clearly stating in black and white that no matter what happened, she would always just be my mistress, forever hidden and without a penny to claim.”
“Second, give your sister five million yuan, under the condition that she agrees to leave me. Xu Xian even offered to buy her freedom from the nightclub, so she would no longer need to work there as a dancer.”
After saying all this, Mo Yaoxiong asked, “Guess which option she chose?”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Ling Zhizhou suddenly stood up, “My sister isn’t that kind of person! She was harmed by you people! You’re lying! My sister had mentioned about going abroad for studies arranged by the school…”
A nearby policeman rushed over to hold him down on the table.
“Your sister deceived your entire family.” Mo Yaoxiong calmly looked at him and said, “She started dancing in that nightclub underage, and she never loved me. She was used to hard times, liked the bustling nightlife, the lavish lifestyle.”
“Seeing how generous I was, she schemed her way into my bed, hoping to bind me with her body. She just didn’t anticipate that my wife would negotiate terms so calmly.”
“Eventually, she realized she would never get a good deal in front of my wife, and even if she did enter the Mo Family, she would always just be a hidden mistress. So, she decided it was better to take the money and leave, so she accepted the five million and proposed going abroad for studies.”
“My wife personally contacted the school and arranged the accommodation. However, on the day she was supposed to leave for abroad, there was a car accident. She was severely injured and ended up in the hospital, becoming a vegetative state…”
“That’s not true!” Ling Zhizhou couldn’t believe it, “It must have been you! You arranged for someone to tamper with it! You bribed the police! You rich people can buy anything…”
“That incident was highly publicized at the time. You can check the news of that year; it was purely an accident, and I only learned about Xu Xian’s negotiation with her after your sister was hospitalized…”
Mo Yaoxiong spoke calmly, placing all the prepared items on the table, “Here is the remittance slip from back then. Xu Xian transferred three million yuan to your sister’s bank account the day before the accident. You can check it; the money is still in the account, untouched.”
“This is the card of the nightclub owner where your sister lied about her age to work as a dancer. Just mention her name, and he’ll remember her.”
“And this, this is the phone number of your sister’s class teacher at the school. The class teacher had to retrieve her from the police station more than once…”
“These are the contacts from the school. Xu Xian had contacted them and submitted documents; it’s all traceable.”
“I have explained everything I need to explain, if you still don’t believe me, you can find out yourself.”
After all this, Mo Yaoxiong suddenly leaned forward slowly, “Finally, I warn you.”
He lowered his voice, “Xiao Yebai is my only son, Mo Yaoxiong, and he has nothing to do with this incident. You stabbed him once; if it were before, I wouldn’t hesitate to take your life!”
Mo Yaoxiong’s gaze suddenly became incredibly fierce.
Ling Zhizhou felt a sudden shock in his heart.
Before he could speak…
Mo Yaoxiong stood up.
The fierceness on his face had vanished, returning to a calm and peaceful demeanor, “You don’t understand the true nature of things, but I’m no saint. I will not easily forgive anyone who dares hurt my son. Once you’re out, if you want to seek revenge, feel free to come find me.”
After finishing his statement, Mo Yaoxiong turned and left.
**
One month later.
Mo Group held a press conference announcing that Xiao Yebai had become the supreme CEO of Mo Group, with Mo Yaoxiong officially withdrawing from the board.
Several people within the group were very dissatisfied with this decision, but Xiao Yebai’s approach had always been fierce. In less than a day, he decisively and efficiently cleared out those within the group who harbored resentment, firing a large number of them from top to bottom.
He had long held more than half of the company’s shares. Previously, his origins could be criticized, but now that the news had leaked that he was the biological son of the Mo family, no one could say “no” to him anymore.
Moreover, his capability at work had been evident to everyone over the years, and he had long since established his own network of connections within the company.
Aside from a few old subordinates who harbored treacherous hearts or had different intentions, over half of the board members came forward declaring their willingness to follow the new leadership.
Those who opposed had little real power, held little influence, and even if they objected, they couldn’t produce any substantial evidence…
In short, Xiao Yebai escalated from the role of CEO to become the supreme CEO of Mo Group.
His ascension was justified!
It was only natural!
The stock prices of Mo Group, which had been declining for over a month, suddenly hit rock bottom and rebounded sharply.
That year, Xiao Yebai finally became the most prominent business magnate in Nancheng.
That year, he was not even twenty-six years old.
**
Chairman’s Office.
“President Xiao.”
“President Xiao?”
“President Xiao?”
Zhong Kai called out three times, his expression helpless.
Ever since President Xiao had recovered and returned to work at the company, he often experienced these brief moments of “deafness.”
Finally, Xiao Yebai looked up, his expression indifferent, “Hand it over.”
Zhong Kai, speechless, said, “President Xiao, the contract has already been signed.”
Xiao Yebai: “…”
He looked down at the spread-out contract documents.
Indeed, his name was already signed on them.
“President Xiao, Secretary Wang just came by and asked when you can move offices?”
President Xiao was now the CEO of Mo Group, no longer just the president, and according to rank, he must move to the office previously occupied by old Master Mo…
“After the meeting.”
“Okay. Then after the meeting, I’ll have Secretary Wang come and help you pack up.”
Xiao Yebai gave a nod and gathered up the contract on the table, his gaze inadvertently falling on the cartoon cup next door…
Zhong Kai had just reached out to take the contract when he saw President Xiao spacing out again!
He couldn’t help but follow his gaze.
A cartoon cup?
This seemed to be something President Xiao had used a long time ago, possibly a couples’ item?
Could it have been bought by the Little Princess?
It certainly was.
Ah, it’s true that you only cherish someone after they are gone… Zhong Kai thought to himself, full of emotion.
He couldn’t help but speak, “President Xiao, the meeting doesn’t start until eleven o’clock, why don’t you… go to the rest room and have a break?”
Xiao Yebai, expressionless, finally shifted his gaze back, handed over the contract again, and said, “No need.”
Zhong Kai was speechless.
Still no need?
His eyes were full of red veins, and he looked as if he hadn’t slept well, always zoning out…
He understood that President Xiao had just become the company’s CEO and that it was normal to be busy with many things needed to be revitalized in the company, especially since he had been injured and hospitalized, leaving the company leaderless for nearly a month…
But you shouldn’t neglect your own health, right?
Zhong Kai, like a concerned father, started, “President Xiao…”
“If there’s nothing else, you may leave,” Xiao Yebai said, still looking at his computer screen, his voice cold.
“…” Zhong Kai shuddered and turned to leave.
**
Half an hour later, the door was knocked on.
“President Xiao, the conference room is ready.”
Xiao Yebai came back to his senses and stood up with an expressionless face.
As Zhong Kai followed Xiao Yebai into the conference room, Secretary Wang with a few staff members entered the office.
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
**
The meeting ended over an hour later.
Xiao Yebai emerged from the meeting room, his demeanor stern, with Zhong Kai carrying a laptop right behind him.
When the two arrived at the office, Secretary Wang said with a smile, “President Xiao, your belongings are almost all packed. Just a moment, and everything will be moved out.”
Xiao Yebai nodded faintly and sat down on a nearby sofa.
A secretary was tidying up some sundry items at the computer desk and, holding the cartoon cup, asked, “Sister Wang, do we need this?”
Zhong Kai, seeing it, hastily exclaimed, “Careful!”
The secretary, merely curious at first, was startled by the shout, and the cup fell onto the desk with a clatter.
Zhong Kai’s face went pale.
The man who had been sitting on the sofa already rushed over.
