My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 816: 816, Mo Family’s CEO and Zhou Family’s socialite spend the night together at a hotel

Zhou Yunong laughed, “Then that’s a pity.”

Mo Weiyi narrowed her beautiful cat eyes slightly.

“The cooperation between Zhou Family and Mo Family has been finalized. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet with CEO Xiao in the future, plenty.” Zhou Yunong’s words were slow but full of provocation, “So, Miss Mo, even if you have animosity towards me, there’s nothing you can do about it.”

“Is that so?” Mo Weiyi pulled out a tissue, bent her head, and meticulously cleaned each of her ten fingers.

After throwing the tissue into the trash, she looked at Zhou Yunong, “Then you just give it your best shot.”

Zhou Yunong was puzzled but her smile didn’t fade, “What do you mean?”

...

“Exactly what I said, give it your best shot.” Having said that, Mo Weiyi turned and left.

**

Outside, Mo Weiyi said, “Rong An, take me home.”

“Would you like to say hello to Young Master Xiao?”

“Just call him and let him know, I don’t want to go in.”

“All right.”

Rong An quickly took out his phone to call Xiao Yebai.

The conversation was brief, and by the time they reached the elevator, Rong An put away his phone, “Young Master Xiao says he knows.”

Mo Weiyi raised an eyebrow and entered the elevator.

Anyway, she was merely accompanying him to make an appearance.

Now that the appearance was over, and someone’s face had been saved, her leaving shouldn’t be an issue.

Who would have known that on the way she would receive a call from Mo Yaoxiong, saying he was also about to go to the reception?

Mo Weiyi could only honestly confess, “Dad, I’ve already gone home.”

“What?” Mo Yaoxiong clearly got angry, “How long has it been and you’ve left Yebai there alone?”

Mo Weiyi, hearing how protective Mo Yaoxiong was, would have been happy in the past, but now, every time she heard it, it just made her feel annoyed.

“Dad, he’s not a three-year-old child. Does he really need me to watch over him?”

Mo Yaoxiong sighed on the other end, “Really, you’re about to become a mother and still so thoughtless!”

Mo Weiyi: “…”

What did this have to do with being thoughtless?

She was too lazy to argue with him anymore.

Fortunately, Mo Yaoxiong knew she was pregnant and hung up after a few words.

Mo Weiyi put down her phone and closed her eyes to rest.

When she returned to Lishui Bay Villa, she took a bath and then asked Aunt Zhou to come up and accompany her to sleep.

Over the past half a month, she had developed the good habit of going to bed before 10 PM every day. Since the room was soundproof, even if Xiao Yebai came back late, he wouldn’t disturb her at all.

In fact, she actually slept very well that night.

She had a dreamless sleep.

It wasn’t until she woke up the next morning that Mo Weiyi received a call from Su Wanwan.

“Weiyi, do you know Zhou Yunong?”

Mo Weiyi immediately thought of the unpleasant memories from the reception the previous night, “I know her. What about her?”

“You actually know her?” Su Wanwan was surprised, “Tsk tsk tsk, I thought you were being kept in the dark. So, you already knew? You really have a lot of patience!”

Mo Weiyi was puzzled, “What’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong? I’m asking you, wasn’t the news of your divorce unknown to the outside world? Wasn’t that the agreement between you two? Why did CEO Xiao get caught having an affair with that Zhou Yunong so quickly?” she didn’t know that it counted as cheating? Damn it, that jerk is too outrageous. Isn’t he afraid that the old man will hear about this? If your grandfather finds out, imagine how upset he’d be…”

Mo Weiyi quickly minimized the call screen and opened the Weibo app on her phone.

With a simple search, she indeed saw an explosive piece of news: [Mo Family’s CEO Spends the Night with Zhou Family’s Renowned Young Lady in a Hotel]

There were several photos below.

It was an exclusive story captured by an entertainment media outlet in Nancheng. Beneath the thick watermark, the photos were a bit blurry, but Mo Weiyi could still see at a glance that the two people in the photos were Xiao Yebai and Zhou Yunong.

The first photo showed Xiao Yebai standing in a splendid banquet hall, the man dressed in a black suit, wearing glasses, looking refined and elegant, and beside him was Zhou Yunong, who was dressed in professional attire the previous night.

The location changed in the subsequent photos, showing the two of them in the corridor, in front of an elevator, and then entering the same elevator together.

The last photo was in front of a presidential suite upstairs.

The series of photos unambiguously suggested: After attending a business reception together the previous night, the two of them conveniently spent the night in the presidential suite upstairs.

Normally, given their status, these two wouldn’t be the subject of such paparazzi photography, since they’re not entertainment stars.

But the main point of the problem clearly wasn’t this now.

Su Wanwan was still swearing on the phone, “It’s infuriating, can’t he control his own desires? Even if he wants to cheat, can’t he be more discreet? Now look what’s happened, the whole of Nancheng is saying you’ve been cuckolded, what are you going to do?”

Mo Weiyi licked her lips and then said, “It’s fine.”

Su Wanwan was stunned.

“Later, I’ll have him issue a statement. With this kind of baseless accusation, just deny everything and it’ll be fine.” Mo Weiyi continued.

Su Wanwan had been silenced by her calm tone, “Weiyi, you’re really something, you can stay so calm about this? Don’t you know that flies don’t sting a seamless egg?”

“Why should I be angry?” Mo Weiyi countered, “Besides, we’re already divorced. Even if it’s true, he’s free to hook up with whoever he wants. It has nothing to do with me.”

In fact, she indeed didn’t feel too much about it.

It was just…

She found it a bit laughable.

Xiao Yebai was just too eager, wasn’t he?

And there’s Zhou Yunong, I have to say, she moves quickly.

But on second thought, Mo Weiyi felt that maybe those two had been secretly hooking up for a while now.

Because to her knowledge, the Mo Family’s business cooperation with the Zhou Family had been discussed for over a month already, and Zhou Yunong was Zhou Hetang’s daughter. Now, with Zhou Jingzhi as the current Family Head of the Zhou Family, they seemed to have placed importance on nurturing their daughters in recent years. So, Zhou Hetang surely would bring his cherished daughter to every negotiation.

Through work, it was inevitable that they would meet, and coupled with Zhou Yunong personally admitting her long-standing admiration for Xiao Yebai, it would be hard for any man not to be moved…

Heh.

No wonder Xiao Yebai agreed so readily to divorce her, apart from the reason that she aborted their child, it’s probably also because he had Zhou Yunong as a backup, right?

Mo Weiyi smiled.

Zhou Yunong was not bad-looking, came from a wealthy family, was still unmarried, and worked in the same investment field. If Xiao Yebai really did marry Zhou Yunong, it would be like moving up another level for him.

Mo Weiyi almost admired his taste in women.

**

After hanging up the phone, Mo Weiyi went downstairs.

Aunt Zhou hurried over, “Princess, breakfast is ready.”

Mo Weiyi sat down at the dining table and quietly ate her breakfast.

Aunt Zhou seemed a bit distracted at the side.

“Aunt Zhou?” Mo Weiyi finally spoke, “If there’s nothing wrong, go take a rest, or if you have something to say, just say it.”

Aunt Zhou hesitated but finally said, “Princess, Young Master Xiao didn’t come home last night.”

“Oh, I know.” Mo Weiyi spoke indifferently.

Aunt Zhou was stunned, “But Princess, Young Master Xiao rarely stays out all night, and he didn’t answer the phone when I called…”

“He might be busy.” Mo Weiyi remained nonchalant.

Aunt Zhou: “…”

Mo Weiyi leisurely continued with her breakfast.

Almost finished eating, she suddenly remembered what the obstetrician said about her having high blood sugar.

Mo Weiyi, holding her soy milk, was considering how to broach the subject when suddenly there came a series of footsteps from outside.

“Young Master Xiao, you’re back!” Aunt Zhou’s surprised voice rang out, “Have you had breakfast?”

Mo Weiyi looked down, hearing the man’s deep voice.

He simply instructed the servant to prepare a breakfast, and when the servant left, he came over and sat down at the opposite side of the table.

“Thud!”

Mo Weiyi placed her cup on the table and looked up at him, “Take care of the news story.”

The man was still dressed in the suit he wore to last night’s party, clearly having taken a bath since his hair was slightly damp.

But the creases on his shirt were inevitable, and his face showed signs of overindulgence, his eyes dark and clearly bloodshot.

The always crisp and scholarly Xiao Yebai rarely looked so worn out.

If it weren’t for the news, Mo Weiyi might have believed that he had been busy working all night long.

“You saw the news,” Xiao Yebai said in a low voice.

Mo Weiyi replied, “Even if I don’t look, others will send it to me. After all, it’s such a big fuss. My phone is full of comforting messages from other people.”

Aunt Zhou first brought over a pair of chopsticks and a bowl. After she left, Mo Weiyi continued, “I’m asking you to quickly take care of the news. My grandfather hasn’t fully recovered yet, and the doctor said he can’t be agitated.”

“It has already been handled.”

“That’s good,” Mo Weiyi said as she wiped her mouth with a napkin, stood up, and prepared to leave.

“I don’t have anything to do with her,” Xiao Yebai suddenly said, “I drank too much at the party last night. My dad came into the room with me, and she came with Mr. Zhou to discuss business and left after.”

Facing his explanation, Mo Weiyi responded coolly, “Oh.”

Xiao Yebai: “…”

Is that it?

He asked, “You don’t believe me?”

Mo Weiyi thought for a moment and said, “As long as it’s been dealt with, that’s all that matters.”

Does it even matter whether she believes it or not?

After all, they were already divorced.

It didn’t matter who he was with; it had nothing to do with her, and she wouldn’t care.

Having said that, Mo Weiyi calmly left.

Xiao Yebai sat there, lifting his hand and heavily massaging his temples.

“Young Master Xiao…”

Just as Aunt Zhou had placed a breakfast on the table, Xiao Yebai suddenly stood up, “I won’t eat breakfast.”

“But…”

“I’m going upstairs to catch up on sleep, don’t call me unless it’s necessary,” Xiao Yebai added.

All Aunt Zhou could do was agree, “…Okay.”

**

Xiao Yebai soon reached the second floor and passing by the master bedroom, he noticed the door was ajar.

He stopped, peering inside.

Mo Weiyi was lying on the couch, her head turned in his direction, holding a book and reading.

She seemed utterly unaware of his “peeping” at the door.

Xiao Yebai stood there for a long time until he heard a noise from the stairs. He immediately stepped forward, entered the secondary bedroom, and closed the door behind him.

…

After changing his clothes, Xiao Yebai lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

The room was very quiet, and the curtains were drawn, preventing any morning light from seeping in, dark and tranquil, perfect for sleeping.

In fact, he had drunk too much last night and had hardly slept; now, feeling extremely sleepy, he thought he would fall asleep quickly, but…

A few minutes later, he opened his eyes and turned to look at the curtains hanging on the window.

After staring at them for nearly a minute, he closed his eyes again, trying to coax himself back to sleep.

The room remained very quiet.

He couldn’t hear any noise from next door, nor any sounds from outside. Despite being very tired and sleepy, he just couldn’t fall asleep; his mind was annoyingly alert.

Then he opened his eyes again, reached out to pull open the drawer of his bedside table, and took out a bottle of medicine.

**

Elsewhere.

After calling Mo Weiyi, Su Wanwan checked the time, and it was just after nine in the morning.

Huo Jingshen had already left for work, and besides her, only a dog remained in the villa.

It was Tuesday—should she go to school to study, or maybe…

Recalling that Yan Shunhua seemed to feel unwell last night, she got up, deciding to visit next door first.

To her surprise, upon arriving next door, a servant told her that Yan Shunhua had been taken to the hospital early in the morning.

…

Half an hour later, Su Wanwan hurriedly arrived at Nangong Hospital.

In the hospital room, Gu Shaoting was seated on the couch, keeping watch, while Yan Shunhua lay on the bed beside him with her eyes closed as if she had fallen asleep.

Su Wanwan explained, “President Gu, I’m sorry, I really didn’t know the chairman was ill. Last night, when I saw she was unwell, I wanted to bring her to the hospital, but she said it was an old problem and stubbornly refused.”

“It’s not your fault,” Gu Shaoting reassured her. “That’s just how Shunhua is; she always insists on struggling through whenever she feels unwell. She was supposed to return to the set this morning, but now, you see…”

The intravenous drip was just a third empty, and the person hadn’t woken up yet.

Su Wanwan asked him, “What exactly is wrong with the chairman?”

Gu Shaoting’s gaze shifted before he said simply, “It’s probably severe unconsciousness caused by overexertion.”

“Oh,” Su Wanwan nodded her head.

Last time, it seemed that Yan Shunhua was unwell due to menstrual discomfort, and that day she too had insisted on continuing to work…

The movie was being filmed in a cinema city, several hours away from the city center; presumably, her collapse due to overexertion happened after she hurried back non-stop yesterday.

She walked to the bedside and reached out to pull the blanket up a bit.

Just then, Yan Shunhua, who had been sound asleep, suddenly began to speak.

“Wanwan…”

Su Wanwan quickly looked up at her.

With her eyes closed and her eyebrows tightly knit, Yan Shunhua mumbled, “Mom… Mom, I’m sorry…”

Su Wanwan’s eyes widened, and she was somewhat stunned.

After saying that, Yan Shunhua continued to sleep with her eyes closed…

Su Wanwan hurriedly turned to look at Gu Shaoting.

By this time, Gu Shaoting had already approached, clearly having heard what Yan Shunhua had just said.

His expression was calm, “She’s probably just missing her daughter.”

“Her daughter?” Su Wanwan didn’t understand.

Consequently, Gu Shaoting elaborated, “Shunhua’s daughter is named Wanwan. She’s studying in M Country. She must be longing for her since it’s been so long since they’ve seen each other that she’s even calling her name in her sleep.”

Su Wanwan blinked her eyes, then nodded, “I see.”

But what a coincidence…

The chairman’s daughter’s name is a homophone of her own…

Soon after, a servant entered with a meal box.

Gu Shaoting said, “Miss Su, if you have other things to take care of, please feel free to go. The servant can take care of things here.”

“Oh, okay,” Su Wanwan nodded, “Then I’ll head back. Once the chairman wakes up, send me a message, will you?”

“Sure.”

…

In the corridor, Su Wanwan was lost in thought.

No wonder Yan Shunhua had always taken good care of her; it turned out to be because her name sounded the same as her daughter’s, both pronounced Wanwan.

But it still seemed too much of a coincidence. She wondered how old her daughter was now, whether she might be about the same age as herself…

“Little sister-in-law!”

Suddenly, a hand reached out in front of her.

Startled, Su Wanwan stopped in her tracks, “Mistress.”

“Damn, can you not call me a mistress in front of so many people? Give your brother some face, will you?” Nangong Ci twisted his handsome face, visibly upset.

But Su Wanwan was in no mood to mind him, “Continue with what you’re doing, I’m leaving.”

“Wait a moment,” Nangong Ci stopped her again. “What’s wrong? You seem distracted. Are you not feeling well? Or did you suddenly find out you’re pregnant? No, that can’t be right. If you were pregnant, why wouldn’t my brother have told me?”

Rolling her eyes, Su Wanwan replied, “I’m fine.”

“If you’re fine, then what are you doing at the hospital?”

Su Wanwan could only tell him the news of Yan Shunhua’s hospitalization.

Nangong Ci nodded, “Which ward?”

Without much thought, Su Wanwan gestured behind her, “The doctor said she’s overworked. Have someone pay more attention to her, her health has always been weak, and she’s also been busy filming recently, the pressure must be huge.”

“Leave it to me,” Nangong Ci declared obligatorily, “My sister-in-law’s chairman is also my chairman! I will definitely take good care of the chairman!”

Su Wanwan: “…”

**

After finishing his ward rounds, Nangong Ci went to Yan Shunhua’s ward.

The doctor inside hurriedly called out, “Deputy Director, good morning.”

With an air of importance, Nangong Ci nodded and approached to ask, “What’s the situation?”

The doctor spoke softly, “Overwork, high blood pressure, now showing some symptoms of fever…”

As Nangong Ci listened, he sized up the woman who had awakened on the hospital bed.

The more he looked, the tighter his brows furrowed, hardly absorbing what the doctor was saying.

Yan Shunhua sat there quietly, waiting for the doctor and the deputy director to finish talking, then asked, “May I ask, when can I be discharged?”

The doctor was just about to speak.

“Hello, I’m the deputy director here, Nangong Ci.” Nangong Ci stepped forward, “Here’s the thing, your body seems to be quite exhausted now, you might need to stay in the hospital for a few more days to be observed…”

“I do not need to stay in the hospital.” Yan Shunhua refused directly, “I know my body well, I must get back to the film city today.”

Nangong Ci: “…”

…

The patient insisted on being discharged, and Nangong Ci insisted on not letting her.

Fortunately, Gu Shaoting came in at the end.

Although Yan Shunhua was firm in her attitude, she seemed to gradually calm down under his persuasion.

Nangong Ci pursed his lips and, while they were still talking, turned and left the ward.

**

Back in the office, Nangong Ci shut the door before sneakily dialing someone’s number.

“What is it?”

It was nearly noon, probably busy at work, and the person sounded very impatient to be disturbed.

With a cheery tone, Nangong Ci asked, “Big brother, guess who I just saw?”

Huo Jingshen said, “If it’s nothing, I’m hanging up.”

“Don’t be like that,” Nangong Ci hurriedly interceded, “I finally got to see the legendary Director Yan, and you know what, she really does look a lot like the little sister-in-law. It’s strange. How has no one ever suspected? And her last name is Yan too… Big brother, aren’t you suspicious? This isn’t like you.”

“…” Huo Jingshen was silent.

“How about this, I’m a doctor after all; I have to believe in scientific evidence. I’m going to conduct a blood relationship test for Director Yan and the little sister-in-law right away…”

“The time is not ripe,” Huo Jingshen finally interrupted him, “For now, keep this matter a secret.”

“…” Nangong Ci was stunned, speechless for a long time.

He had only been speculating.

Because the two women looked so alike and there were so many coincidences, and since Huo Jingshen had already met her, it’s impossible for him not to have doubts.

Unexpectedly…

“But didn’t Grandpa Su say she was dead? Why…”

“You don’t need to worry about these things,” Huo Jingshen spoke calmly, “Just keep it secret for now, and make sure Wanwan does not find out.”

“But…” Nangong Ci felt something was odd, “Aside from me, has no one else noticed how much they resemble each other?”

“Others aren’t as nosy as you.” After that, the call was terminated.

Nangong Ci, insulted as nosy: “…”

Huo Yuan Group.

In the office, Huo Jingshen’s slender fingers tapped slowly on the black office table.

He was somewhat troubled.

Soon after, the door was knocked a few times, and the assistant Ji Jie came in, “Mr. Huo, the reception downstairs called. There’s a Miss Dong who wants to see you.”

Huo Jingshen looked up, his gaze dark and heavy.

Clearly in a bad mood.

“Mr. Huo, should I let her come up, or…”

“Having been an assistant for so long, do you still need me to teach you what to do?”

Ji Jie hurriedly lowered his head, “I was wrong, I’ll make them send her away right now.”

…

However, a few minutes later, Ji Jie knocked and entered again.

Meeting Mr. Huo’s stern look, Ji Jie felt as if he were in a desolate place where no grass grew and corpses lay everywhere…

He shivered violently and could only continue with a stiff resolve, “That Miss Dong won’t leave, she’s insisting… she said…”

“She said what?”

Ji Jie gritted his teeth, “She said if you don’t see her, she will go find the lady.”

Huo Jingshen: “…”
