My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 789: 789, men like Xiao Yebai, are very scary.

Mo Weiyi looked up, her eyes sweeping lightly, “It’s him who forbade you from speaking publicly, isn’t it? I think he, a man without responsibility, is not suitable for you, Miss Gu.”

“Um…” Gu Pingting grimaced with embarrassment, suddenly at a loss for words.

“Furthermore.” Mo Weiyi continued, “About the things you did last night, Xiaobai has already told me.”

At these words, Gu Pingting was caught completely off guard, “Miss Mo, what are you talking about?”

Xiao Yebai told Mo Weiyi everything they did last night?

How could that be possible?

Was he deliberately walking into a trap?

Mo Weiyi picked up a napkin to wipe the corner of her mouth, her movements and expressions graceful, “Zhan Yao is Xiaobai’s classmate from the research institute and one of his few friends. So in my heart, I’ve always considered him, and you, as my friends. But what I didn’t expect was that you two would band together to deceive me, and Zhan Yao is even the mastermind of this. Helping his friend deceive his wife under the guise of her betterment, what do you think of such behavior?”

Looking at Gu Pingting’s panicked face, Mo Weiyi upped the ante, “So, I’ve already decided to divorce Xiaobai.”

Just as expected, Gu Pingting couldn’t hold back, “Divorce? Miss Mo, please don’t do anything rash. Actually… this thing…”

She didn’t know what to say.

She didn’t know how much Xiao Yebai had told, and how much Mo Weiyi knew…

“No need to persuade me, I’ve already made up my mind.” Mo Weiyi said with a light smile, “I know, in reality this thing, you’re just a pawn, everything was orchestrated by Zhan Yao. After all, he’s your boyfriend and your boss, it’s understandable for you to listen to him. So I came here today just to give you a heads up. As for what to do from now on, it’s up to you.”

After saying that, she stood up, “I need to go to the restroom.”

A feeling of unease crept up on Gu Pingting. As soon as the door closed, she immediately took out her phone and dialed a number, “Boss, Miss Mo knows everything about last night!”

Zhan Yao naturally didn’t believe it, “Impossible!”

“She said it to me herself. She claimed that Mr. Xiao told her and pushed all the blame onto you…”

“Wait a minute.” Zhan Yao cut her off, “She told you that Yebai told her everything? And said that I was the one who planned it?”

“Yeah.” Gu Pingting was at a loss, “What should we do now? She even said that she wants to divorce Mr. Xiao, are we doing the wrong thing…”

“Enough, why are you so panicked? I’ll ask Yebai about it first. Moreover, don’t say anything to her, just claim that you don’t know anything and that you didn’t participate.”

Gu Pingting anxiously asked, “Then…what about the necklace? I brought it.”

“Leave it in my drawer.”

“Oh.”

Just as Gu Pingting hung up the phone, the room door was suddenly pushed open.

She jumped in fright.

Luckily…

Thankfully, she had already hung up the phone.

Mo Weiyi walked in from outside, holding a black phone in her hand.

She seemed to be receiving a call.

Following her was Rong An.

Gu Pingting quickly stood up, fearing to disturb her call she didn’t dare to speak. Unexpectedly, Mo Weiyi directly handed the phone to Rong An.

Then she walked to the dining table, reached out to retrieve her own phone from the bag on the table, her tone flat, “Miss Gu, please give me the necklace.”

Gu Pingting was taken aback.

Necklace?

“After all, it’s my aunt’s item that she spent tens of thousands on, even if it’s a counterfeit and not expensive, it’s not quite suitable in your possession.” After saying that, Mo Weiyi pressed the play button on her phone.

The entire content of the phone call Gu Pingting just made was played back.

Although the volume was a bit low due to the phone being in the bag, it was clear enough to record every word she had just said.

Gu Pingting was completely caught off guard by Mo Weiyi’s surprising move.

Her face turned pale, with only one thought in her mind: she was finished, this time, she had really stirred up big trouble.

**

Ten minutes later, Gu Pingting left in a state of confusion.

Mo Weiyi sat at the dining table, holding a jewelry box in her hand. Inside was the counterfeit “Eternal Heart” jade necklace.

Rong An stood quietly to one side, waiting until Mo Weiyi’s mobile phone rang.

She snapped back, picked up the phone and answered, “Hello.”

Her cold, terse greeting left the person on the other end speechless for a moment before Lu Chenyu’s formal voice sounded, “If you don’t plan on working, tell me sooner rather than later. You’re treating the law firm like it’s your study at home, coming and going as you please. Do you think this is acceptable?”

“Alright.”

“…” Lu Chenyu was taken aback.

“Master, I probably won’t be able to intern at the law firm for some time.” Mo Weiyi slowly stated, “Thank you for your tolerance and care these past days. You’re right, I may not be suited for an intern’s work, leave this opportunity for those who need it more. Goodbye.”

Having said that, she hung up the phone.

**

Yurui Law Firm.

Lu Chenyu stared at his old Nokia phone, unable to process what had just happened.

The stubborn little princess who refused to leave actually wanted to resign on her own?

Although this was what he had long hoped for, he suddenly felt… odd.

His laptop was open on the table. Up on the screen was a news report.

The report detailed how last night, during the birthday banquet of the Mo Group’s little princess, the patriarch of the Mo family suddenly fainted and was rushed to the hospital for treatment.

In Nancheng, there were deeply-rooted, powerful ‘Four Noble Families’, and there were also wealthy business families that had stood firm through their industry-based economy over the years.

But the Mo family was a unique case. With their wealth, they could easily stand toe-to-toe with other big families, but the patriarch of the Mo family earned his riches through the underworld, each generation was single-line inheritance, and the current CEO was Xiao Yebai, a son-in-law who had come into the family through marriage. Objectively speaking, the Mo family’s reputation was a mixture of praise and criticism.

Now that the patriarch of the Mo family was in the hospital, although Mo Yaoxiong had already released a statement through lawyers in the morning that the patriarch was awake and in good condition, the Mo Group’s shares had still taken a hit, prompting much speculation and conjecture from the outside world.

This wasn’t a good omen. If anything were to happen to the patriarch who controlled the Mo Group’s shares, it would bring much upheaval, not only to the entirety of the Mo family, but also to the many large families in Nancheng with whom the Mo family had cooperations.

And Mo Weiyi chose this time to resign?

Could it really be that something had happened to the patriarch…

**

“Princess.”

In the private room, Rong An spoke upon seeing Mo Weiyi end her call, “I just received a call from Uncle Shi, the patriarch wants to see you.”

“See me?” Mockery laced Mo Weiyi’s voice.

Rong An said, “Let’s go to the hospital first. You should also have further health checks.”

Health checks?

Mo Weiyi touched her stomach, the mocking smile on her face became more pronounced.

“Rong An.” She said, “Why do you think Xiaobai would do this?”

Rong An answered, “I don’t know.”

“You do.” Mo Weiyi retorted, “You’re also a man. When men choose between women and status, whose weight is heavier? Don’t they all make the same choice?”

Rong An didn’t respond.

“In the past, I always thought that Xiaobai was different from other men. He’s smart, wise, strong, and indifferent to worldly affairs. He worked hard only to show his gratitude for the Mo family’s nurturing, reassuring grandfather and father that he can take care of both the company and me. But now I think I was wrong.”

“No wonder the last time I threatened him with a divorce, he didn’t retain me even a bit. He even let me call my grandfather directly. Because he knew, I love him, I cherish him, so I would never bear to see him leave the Mo family… to see him go from the high-status CEO of the Mo Group to a penniless man again…”

“Everything is under his control because he knows me too well. He knows I love him, so he knows I won’t divorce him, knows I’ll bear with it. Rong An, do you agree that such a man is really terrifying?”

After saying that, Mo Weiyi looked up at him, as if expecting an answer from him.

Rong An asked, “What do you want me to do? Just tell me, princess.”

Mo Weiyi didn’t say a word. Her carefully drawn cat eyes were motionless, but a hint of red was gradually seeping into her gaze.

Actually, as early as last night, she felt something was off about the entire issue.

No one was there to help make sense of it all, and Xiao Yebai didn’t speak a word, hence her suspicions deepened.

Even so, she still harbored some hope in her heart.

She believed it wasn’t something Xiao Yebai would do, and besides, hadn’t he fallen into her plot last night?
