Chapter 320: Settling the Marriage Affairs

Chu Yao’s hand hanging by her side moved slightly, her heart bitter and indescribable, her emotions nearly showing on her face, on the brink of collapsing.

Just as she was about to walk behind Mo Suizhi, Mo Tingshen came over, pushing the wheelchair handle, his gaze towards her, “Wipe your hands dry.”

Chu Yao wiped them directly on his body.

Once done, she left.

Mo Tingshen glanced at his shirt and then back at her, pressing his lips together firmly.

This bad habit seemed impossible to kick.

“Brother, don’t be mad.

Xiao Yao is still young, and besides, she’s always been mischievous like this.

She just came back, please don’t give her a hard time,” Mo Suizhi hurriedly defended.

Mo Tingshen pushed the wheelchair forward, expressionless, “I didn’t say anything about her.”

Mo Suizhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Dinner was extremely awkward, Chu Yao barely touched her chopsticks.

She and Lu Zhenzhen had eaten their fill, thankfully, or she really would have been too sick to eat.

“Now that you’re out, don’t go back to the entertainment industry.

We have a vacancy for a vice-president of public relations at the company.

Come to work tomorrow,” Mo Li said, sipping his soup, glancing at Chu Yao, then lowering his head to blow on a spoonful, “Don’t be in a rush to retort, and besides, you’re not getting any younger.

I’ve looked all over Rongcheng City for someone your age who could match you, and there’s no one.

Since you’ve grown up here since you were a child, why don’t you just marry Suizhi?

That way you can stay with the Mo Family, killing two birds with one stone.”

Clatter—

The soup spoon fell from Mo Suizhi’s hand into the bowl.

“Dad, what are you saying?

Xiao Yao is my sister, how can I…”

“You two aren’t related by blood.

The initial intention of adopting Xiao Yao was to give you a companion.

Don’t you like her?

Her marrying you would be perfect, as she can stay with the Mo Family.

Isn’t it the best of both worlds?”

“I do like Xiao Yao, but that’s the affection of a brother for his sister.

She… she calls me ‘Second Brother’!”

Mo Suizhi’s face flushed with urgency, his neck turning red, “Anyway, I won’t agree to it!”

With that, he hurriedly maneuvered his wheelchair out of the dining room, his expression slightly dazed and still containing a trace of anger, refusing the servants’ help, and entering the elevator by himself.

“What kind of behavior is this!

Go and call him back down for me!”

Mo Li slammed the table, his decisive manner on full display, when suddenly he heard a cold, mocking laugh beside him.

He fixed his gaze on Chu Yao.

The girl slightly curved her lips, a derisive snort escaping from her nostrils, falling silent after just once.

Yet, that laugh lingered on Mo Li’s back as if it were a ghost that couldn’t be shaken off.

A car stopped 500 meters away from the Mo Family’s home.

Nan Jiaojiao randomly picked a key to a car she chose from Bo Yanching’s garage, driving it here ten minutes ago without going any further.

She called Bo Yanching; the call was answered after just a few rings, his clear voice coming through, “Darling.”

He didn’t sound like he had been woken up.

Nan Jiaojiao knew full well, “You were awake when I left, weren’t you?”

“Mhm.”

“Why didn’t you stop me?”

Bo Yanching chuckled softly, “Darling, what’s this call for?”

“Chu Yao got out of jail, and I felt a bit uncomfortable.

I wanted to make a scene.

The car is parked outside the Mo Family’s door, but I didn’t go in.

I thought of you.

I was afraid you’d be mad.”

Bo Yanching was inevitably moved.

She was used to going it alone, but now with him by her side, she had a layer of consideration.

His heart swelled fiercely, his low chuckle unable to hide his indulgence, “Why would I be mad?”

Nan Jiaojiao pursed her lips, “Mo Tingshen is your friend.”

“Mhm, he is, but you are more important.”

Bo Yanching stood up, sitting by the bedhead for a long time.

After receiving the call, he headed to the walk-in closet, “Make a scene, I’ve got your back.”
