Chapter 710: 712, why are you so outstanding? (Third watch)

"Duanmu Xiaosi, can you not be so loud!" Mo Qingyi immediately shouted back, "Don’t you know Zi is still young? What if you scare him? Besides, do you think everyone is like you, with a heart of stone? You have no sympathy at all!"

Zi Qi young?

Duanmu Zhe just chuckled!

If Zi Qi is still considered young, then he is underage!

Zi?

Heh.

Just call him Zi Qi, why the name Zi!

Are the two of them that close?

Even Mo Qingyi has never called herself "Jin"! Duanmu Zhe felt more and more wronged the more he thought about it.

Duanmu Sheng also said, "Exactly, Little Zhe, you really lack compassion, to see Zi cry like that and not offer a word of comfort. You have no sympathy at all."

After half a day of interaction, Duanmu Sheng had already established a deep friendship with Zi, and Zi had reached a level where there were no secrets between them.

Duanmu Zhe looked up at the sky, speechless: "...What have I done wrong?"

Just then, the ringtone of both Duanmu Zhe’s and Mo Qingyi’s phones went off.

"Hello," both answered the call simultaneously, their expressions gradually turning serious.

The call was from their superiors, ordering them to rush back to the military base immediately.

Mo Qingyi, too pressed for time to be sentimental, said her goodbyes and then left with Duanmu Zhe.

Finally, she could be rid of that troublesome Zi Qi!

Duanmu Zhe breathed a sigh of relief.

Because Duanmu Sheng’s residence was in the opposite direction from Mo Zhixuan’s, Zi was the one who took Duanmu Sheng home.

Chu Jin got into Mo Zhixuan’s car.

"To your place or mine?" Once in the car, Mo Zhixuan asked while fastening his seatbelt.

The question sounded somewhat ambiguous.

So, Chu Jin cleverly replied, "Of course, back to my house. My mom is still sick."

Mo Zhixuan nodded thoughtfully, "Actually, it doesn’t matter which we choose, in the end, they are both our homes."

Mo Zhixuan stated it as though it was a matter of course, leaving Chu Jin with no room for rebuttal.

Upon arrival at the Chu Family’s home, after taking a shower, Chu Jin still found time to visit Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan was sitting on the bed, chatting with Luo Yu.

She looked much better than she had in the daytime, calling Luo Yu "Jin" repeatedly.

Luo Yu naturally spared no effort in currying favor with Zhao Yan.

"Chu Chu!" Seeing Chu Jin, Zhao Yan was extremely excited; although she still didn’t know that Chu Jin was her daughter, she liked her very much.

It was a strange feeling; for some reason, she just couldn’t bring herself to dislike Chu Jin.

"Auntie, are you feeling better?" Chu Jin walked over and reached out to check Zhao Yan’s pulse.

According to her pulse, Zhao Yan seemed to have improved a lot, and the number of Gu worms seemed to be reducing.

Hearing Chu Jin call Zhao Yan ’Auntie’, the corners of Luo Yu’s mouth curled into a smug arc.

What’s so great about Chu Jin?

She doesn’t even dare to call her ’Mom.’

Coward!

Once Chu Jin knew Luo Yu hadn’t done anything wrong, she left reassured, treating Luo Yu as if she were air the entire time, not giving her a single glance.

Luo Yu was actually a bit angry.

What right did Chu Jin have?

Not only did she take everything away from me, but now she’s even flaunting her power in front of me!

She really has no shame.

Besides, I don’t even know what’s going on anymore—somehow even the Old Madam Mo has been deceived by Chu Jin!

Every time I think about how the Old Madam Mo treated me this morning, I get so angry!

That damn old hag.

She’s actually ignoring me now!

However, even though the Old Madam Mo is out of the picture, there’s still Zhao Yan.

I must not admit defeat now!

"Mom, do you like that Chu Chu?" Luo Yu looked at Zhao Yan, plotting in her heart.

Since I can’t directly do anything to Chu Jin for now, I can use Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan loves me so much, she’s definitely going to help me.

After all, I’m her only daughter.

Plus, Zhao Yan only acknowledges me now.

Zhao Yan smiled and said, "I do like her. Chu Chu is a nice girl. Jin, I’ve noticed that you’ve become increasingly unreasonable recently. You should learn more from Miss Chu Chu in how you conduct yourself."

Although Zhao Yan’s consciousness is a bit muddled now, her thinking is still clear. She can tell that ’Chu Jin’ has changed, become different from before.

On the contrary, that girl called Chu Chu seems more like Chu Jin, giving off a very comfortable vibe.

Luo Yu narrowed her eyes slightly. Chu Jin has some nerve, winning over Zhao Yan’s favor like this!

No, I can’t allow this to happen.

I must pit Zhao Yan against Chu Jin, mother and daughter, and have them destroy each other!

"Mom, you don’t know, that woman called Chu Chu is so bad! She even tried to steal Mo Zhixuan from me yesterday!" Luo Yu said grievously, "Mom, you must stand up for me."

Zhao Yan’s expression changed before she spoke, "Jin, are you mistaken? Chu Chu doesn’t seem like that kind of person to me. Both Xiu and I really like her."

How could a girl like Chu Chu possibly be a home-wrecker in someone’s relationship?

Zhao Yan didn’t believe it.

Luo Yu shook Zhao Yan’s arm coquettishly, "Mom, I’m telling the truth! I’m your biological daughter, don’t you believe me?"

I must use Zhao Yan’s hand to get rid of Chu Jin!

Zhao Yan sighed, "Jin, you must be misunderstanding. Chu Chu is a good girl, her medical skills are excellent, and after taking her medicine, I feel so much better. How could you speak of her like that? People say one should not talk behind others’ backs. If there’s an issue, you can invite her over to clarify things face to face. If she really has any improper thoughts, don’t worry, I will certainly stand up for you."

Zhao Yan, being born into a prestigious family, has always had upright principles. Luo Yu is giving her a very bad impression now.

"A misunderstanding! I misunderstood her? That despicable woman is not good at all!" Luo Yu exploded, "Not only does she want to take Mo Zhixuan away from me, but she is also trying to replace me! Mom, how can we keep such a person in our family? Please, send her away quietly, will you?"

"Jin!" Zhao Yan’s expression turned cold in an instant as she spoke very seriously, "Stop causing a scene! And don’t speak like that again! If you truly believe Chu Chu has done something wrong, call her here now to talk things over in front of me. If she really has any untoward intentions, rest assured, I will stand up for you."

No matter when, Zhao Yan has always been a person of integrity.

"Mom..." Luo Yu was extremely reluctant. How could she dare to call Chu Jin over?

Facing Chu Jin, she always felt a strange sense of inferiority.

Though she didn’t want to admit it... it was true.

"Enough, stop talking," Zhao Yan waved her hand, then said, "If you don’t have the courage to find Chu Chu, then it means that this matter is just your speculation. It’s getting late, and I’m tired."

Luo Yu took a deep breath, "Mom, it’s not like that. I’m just worried that Chu Chu will be embarrassed. For a young lady, such actions aren’t good for her reputation. Mom, why don’t you just send her away discreetly?"

Zhao Yan walked over and sat on the bed, "If she could do such a thing, she wouldn’t have any reason to feel embarrassed. Go and call her over."

"I..." Luo Yu was at a loss for words.

Zhao Yan gave Luo Yu a long look and said weightily, "Jin, what’s gotten into you lately? Do you realize you’re becoming less and less like your former self? If you continue like this, you will indeed become unworthy of Mo Zhixuan! I’m tired, think it over for yourself. When you have time, go and ask Chu Chu for advice, let her tell you how to be a proper lady of a noble house. Stop thinking about how to target others all the time! That’s something only people with no upbringing would do."

At these words, Luo Yu’s face darkened. She hadn’t expected that even Zhao Yan would turn her back on her.

Chu Jin really has no shame!

It wasn’t enough for her to steal my Mo Zhixuan, now she even wants to steal my mother!

If even Zhao Yan didn’t recognize her, then she really would have nothing left!

Why!

Zhao Yan continued to praise Chu Jin’s virtues, angering Luo Yu so much that she trembled all over. She was expected to learn from Chu Jin, but was Chu Jin even worthy?

Luo Yu’s face twisted with malice, her eyes narrowed, and a sinister cold light flashed through them.

Since Zhao Yan treated her this way, she couldn’t blame her for not being polite!

It was Zhao Yan who wronged her first!

She must make Chu Jin and Zhao Yan both pay the price!

After Chu Jin returned to her room, she found it empty. She raised an eyebrow; Mo Zhixuan had been showering in the bathroom just before she left, so how come he had disappeared in a blink of an eye?

Could it be... he went home early?

Chu Jin didn’t think much about it, closed the door, took a nightgown out of the wardrobe and changed into it—a silk slip dress that was so thin it made her graceful figure appear tantalizingly concealed yet revealed.

Beneath the hem of the gown, two long and slender legs stood out, glaringly white and striking to the eye.

Since Mo Zhixuan wasn’t there, Chu Jin had nothing to fear. She turned off the lights and went straight to bed, only to be enveloped in a full embrace the moment she slid under the covers.

Chu Jin let out a startled cry, but upon catching the faint scent of smoke, she quickly calmed down.

"Didn’t you go back home?"

Seeing the bed empty just now, Chu Jin really thought he had gone home. Little did she expect... that she would walk right into the lion’s den.

This man was too devious! Hiding in the bed like that!

"Baby, I didn’t expect you to be so enthusiastic about throwing yourself into my arms, wearing so little. Are you trying to seduce me on purpose? Hm?" Mo Zhixuan’s voice was already somewhat hoarse.

"Get lost!" Chu Jin kicked out; who sleeps bundled up in layers? Who’s seducing whom here!

"Hiss!" A sharp intake of breath resounded through the air, "That hurt!"

Damnit, that kick really hurt.

But then again, this was his own wife; he had to endure it.

Only by doing so could he enjoy those special benefits.

"It must have hit my foot!" Damnit, anyone who didn’t know better would think her kick had just struck a rock.

"Sorry, my fault." Mo Zhixuan admitted, "On behalf of my ’little brother,’ I apologize to you."

"Knowing your mistake means there’s still hope for you," Chu Jin pushed him towards the edge of the bed, "Get out of here quickly. My bed is telling me it really doesn’t like you at all."

"But I really like you." Mo Zhixuan lay on the bed, steadfast as a rock, immovable.

"Sorry, I don’t like you at all!" Chu Jin continued to kick.

Mo Zhixuan said in a deep voice, "No matter, I will make you like me too."

"Are you getting out or not?" Chu Jin raised an eyebrow.

Chu Jin was truly afraid of Mo Zhixuan by now; she was tired from a full day and just wanted to sleep well. If Mo Zhixuan were to start making a fuss, she wouldn’t be able to rest peacefully for hours.

This guy!

He really was shameless.

"I’m not getting out." Mo Zhixuan clung to the bed quite calmly.

"Do you have no shame at all?"

"No shame."

Chu Jin: "..." You can cure any ailment with medicine, but shamelessness left her at a loss.

"Get out now!" Chu Jin repeated.

"I’m not leaving." Mo Zhixuan was resolute; his military uniform earlier that day had made him aware of the crisis. If he left the bed now, he would be the loser!

"Fine," Chu Jin slightly raised her eyebrows, "You win." Just as she turned over and was about to get out of bed to walk to the edge.

The foot she lifted was caught by someone.

"I’m sorry, my second brother just hurt your foot. Let me rub it for you." As soon as Mo Zhixuan’s words ended, he powered up his hand and Chu Jin fell onto the bed.

Chu Jin gave a startled cry at his sudden move.

"Does your foot still hurt?" Mo Zhixuan murmured next to her ear, "To show my apology, I have specially brought my second brother to comfort you. Please don’t let his kindness go to waste, get to know him better, hmm?"

As he spoke, he also reached for her hand, guiding it towards a certain area below.

His warm breath was sprayed entirely on Chu Jin’s neck, slightly ticklish.

Chu Jin: "..."

Damn it! We all had the same nine years of compulsory education, how can you be so outstanding? She was no longer an inexperienced young girl, yet Mr. Mo could still make her blush and get flustered every time.

Mr. Mo really is something, not making a sound until he does something astonishing.

To speak such a lewd joke so openly, it was indeed a hardship for him.

Thus, that night, Chu Jin was once again completely devoured by Mr. Mo, leaving not even the dregs.

Moreover, Chu Jin greatly underestimated Mr. Mo’s stamina.

This man... was simply too much.

The night passed in a hurry.

When Chu Jin woke up the next day, it was already noon.

Mo Zhixuan left her a note.

A very simple line of words.

"Will be back late, don’t worry."

After reading it, Chu Jin tucked the note into a thick book.

After eating, Chu Jin went upstairs to visit Zhao Yan, whose health had improved quite a bit compared to yesterday.

Seeing Zhao Yan’s condition getting better bit by bit, Chu Jin also felt relieved. Because of Zhao Yan’s health, the wedding that Mo Zhixuan had originally planned to hold in three days was definitely off. Thus, the wedding was postponed, ready to be discussed after Zhao Yan was fully awake.

On the other side.

After receiving a severe beating, Luo Yingjie and his men were dumped in an alley.

It wasn’t until the morning of the third day that the three of them woke up from a pile of garbage.

Luo Yingjie opened his eyes and looked around before he realized that he had been beaten by a bunch of hooligans and then thrown here.

These hooligans! They had some nerve! To actually dare to lay their hands on him!

Didn’t they know he was the uncle of the Mo family?

Luo Yingjie rubbed his waist and stood up, a sharp pain shot through his body as he did so.

"Damn it! I’ll wipe out these hooligans! To treat me like this!" Luo Yingjie roared furiously.

The two subordinates also awoke at this moment.

"Boss Luo, are you alright?" the two men disregarded their own pain, got up from the ground, and went to support Luo Yingjie.

Luo Yingjie was now a valued guest of the Mo family and could not be offended at any cost.

Otherwise, there would be no way to explain to the old Madam Mo.

Now that Luo Yu was pregnant with Mo Zhixuan’s child, Luo Yingjie’s status rose with the tide, having significant sway in the Mo family, almost like a half-master.

Unconscious for three days, these three were utterly clueless about the situation outside.

They didn’t know that the current Luo Yu was no longer the Luo Yu from before.

"Two turds! You can’t even deal with a bunch of hooligans! What use is keeping you around! Worthless! Go eat shit!" Luo Yingjie brutally kicked his two subordinates.

Unable to beat the vendors, Luo Yingjie could only take out his anger on his subordinates.

"We’re sorry, Boss Luo!" one of the subordinates apologized in a panic, "Please, don’t be angry..."

The other subordinate’s eyes rolled, and he continued.

"Boss Luo, actually, we can’t be entirely blamed for this. Think about it, the hooligans altogether were dozens, and there were only three of us! Boss Luo, why don’t we hurry back and call for reinforcements, let those hooligans know our might too!"
