Chapter 2267: Chapter 71: The Woman Mo Ziye Will Marry…
Mo Ziye’s words fell, and the whole venue suddenly went silent!
The shock was too overwhelming, the media reporters below the stage all stared wide-eyed, some even had their mouths half-opened, unable to speak.
They all fixed their gaze on the elegant, powerful, and indifferent man standing on stage.
It was only at this moment that everyone seemed to finally understand that his indifference was directed at Shi Xi.
It was because Shi Xi had let him down too much.
Regardless of Mo Ziye’s fame in Country A, in G City, Mo Ziye was undoubtedly a figure of influence.
A person as noble as one high in the clouds, in G City, from socialites to ordinary girls, all dreamt of becoming his girlfriend, wishing to soar up and become a phoenix, willing to live and die for him.
Back then, Mo Ziye spoiled Qin Qingqing excessively, both publicly and privately with high-profile intimacy, but everyone knew that Qin Qingqing and he were childhood sweethearts, and their families were good friends, both being aristocratic families.
Their relationship felt so natural, that one could only envy it, not even feel jealous.
But later, Mo Ziye and Qin Qingqing suddenly broke up.
In the following years, he seemed detached from desires, never caught in gossip, and the outside world thought he was too deeply hurt or couldn’t forget Qin Qingqing.
Yet unexpectedly, four years later he suddenly started dating Shi Xi.
Although not making it to the front page, they were frequently trending online.
Though Shi Xi followed the route of a pure and innocent girl, she was an actress; during filming, she inevitably had ambiguous, intimate interactions with male actors.
Thus many believed she was unworthy of the aloof and noble Mo Ziye.
Nonetheless, many of her fans felt she and Mo Ziye were a perfect pair.
But no one expected Mo Ziye would publicly declare Shi Xi to be a petty and narrow-minded woman at the press conference.
He said she was unfit to be the Mo family’s daughter-in-law, Haochen’s president’s wife.
In the eerie silence, some people’s eyes moved from Mo Ziye to Shi Xi beside him, pale-faced and not yet recovered from the shock.
Her eyes brimmed with tears, looking at Mo Ziye in disbelief.
While everyone was anticipating what would happen next, Mo Ziye turned his head to meet Shi Xi’s tearful eyes.
“…”
Her lips trembled twice, unable to utter a sound.
Yet tears silently slipped down her cheeks.
Looking at that appearance, whether in the eyes of men or women, most found it delicate and pitiful, evoking compassion.
“Shi Xi, from the beginning, I said we were just dating to try things out, I wasn’t sure I would come to like you.”
Mo Ziye’s cool and deep voice swept towards Shi Xi like a whirlwind.
She was dumbfounded, even though she often dealt with the media as a public figure, at this moment she truly didn’t know what to say or do.
Below, the flashlights continuously flickered.
Mo Ziye’s voice transmitted through the microphone to every corner of the hall.
Calm and aloof!
“I thought you were an educated girl, an actress without negative news, and should possess basic tolerance, kindness, and magnanimity. Yet you repeatedly warned a former girlfriend who just returned from abroad and hadn’t even spoken a few words with me.”
In the hospital room, Grandfather Qin and Granny Qin withdrew their gaze from the LCD screen and looked at Qingqing in front of them with concern.
Qingqing smiled reassuringly at them.
Then she looked at the noble and handsome man on the screen.
“Ziye, I know I was wrong.”
Shi Xi suddenly apologized emotionally, her voice choked, tears quickly falling.
She reached out to grab Mo Ziye’s hand, which he subtly avoided, as he stood up.
His tall figure stood upright behind the table covered in red velvet, and the moment he stood, the venue became quiet again, even breathing was held.
His powerful presence swept over the crowd, the coolness in his gaze growing deeper.
Looking at Shi Xi, he coldly said, “If I continue dating you, I fear any woman who speaks a few words or has any connection with me would be seen as your rival, which would harm others and yourself.”
“So, Shi Xi, breaking up is the best thing for you.”
“I…”
“You’re a public figure, mind your image.”
Mo Ziye suddenly leaned slightly forward, speaking too softly to the crying Shi Xi.
She stiffened abruptly at his words.
A moment later, her chaotic thoughts regained some clarity, and her gaze at Mo Ziye changed through various emotions.
From sadness to acceptance, then realization, followed by some anger at being played, finally she struggled internally about whether to attempt a reconciliation or salvage some dignity from today’s humiliation.
Reporters below threw questions at him.
“Young Master Yi, what are your future dating standards?”
“Young Master Yi, after breaking up with Shi Xi, will you remain friends?”
——
On the way to the airport, Momo frowned as she looked at the image of Mo Ziye on her phone screen.
“You’ve broken up with Shi Xi, but you’ve also dragged Qingqing into it.”
Hearing her talking to herself, Ye Zhan, in the driver’s seat, glanced at her, a hint of mockery in his eyes as he said, “Maybe your brother’s goal is to bring Qingqing back into the public’s view.”
“Why?”
Momo asked, puzzled, looking at Ye Zhan.
Doing this would make enemies for Qingqing; Shi Xi is an actress with many fans.
“I don’t know, maybe after breaking up with Shi Xi, he plans to be with Qingqing, and it’s better to bring Qingqing out directly rather than have reporters write about it when they get captured later.”
“Alas, I really can’t understand my brother’s peculiar thinking.”
Ye Zhan laughed lightly, no longer offering any opinions.
He understood Mo Ziye’s intentions, if he were Mo Ziye, he might do the same.
After all, dating Shi Xi was never about marriage; it was probably just to use Shi Xi to provoke Qingqing into coming back to him.
Now he had achieved his goal.
He even made Shi Xi publicly apologize, making it justified.
Their breakup was thus justified.
It had to be said, Mo Ziye’s move was truly well-played.
Shi Xi’s biggest mistake was admitting her lack of tolerance and generosity in public; her actions were even considered malicious among her peers.
Even though she realized she had fallen into Mo Ziye’s trap, it was already too late.
Mo Ziye left a simple answer for the reporters at the end, “The woman I want to marry doesn’t need to have talents that rival mine, nor a prominent family, but certainly a kind heart.”
It had to be said, this statement once again pushed Shi Xi into the spotlight.
Also making her the woman who deserved what she got, worthy of being abandoned by a man high in the clouds.
Moreover, Mo Ziye’s words gained him numerous fans, whether among those at the press conference or the viewers on TV, computers, or phones, they all applauded.
