My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day-Chapter 819 - : 819, how do you have photos of Yebai when he was a child?
Chapter 819: 819, how do you have photos of Yebai when he was a child?
The daughter had been spoiled by her mother since she was little, and he had heard about her escapades too.
But young people fall in love, break up, and move on—it’s normal. He was busy with work, so he had never really intervened.
The Zhou Family’s situation was complicated, and their son wasn’t reliable. Zhou Yunong was his only daughter, so he really wanted to nurture her to take over his role.
Zhou Yunong had studied investment and was interested in the field. She had asked to intern recently, so he thought he would give her a chance to learn. Little did he expect…
“Mr. Xiao, I’m really sorry.” Zhou Hetang could only offer an embarrassed apology. “My daughter has been pampered by her mother since childhood. She sometimes doesn’t understand the gravity of things. This time she was wrong. Don’t worry, I will definitely discipline her.”
After hearing this, Xiao Yebai’s expression didn’t change much. “Mr. Zhou, I have already suppressed the matter. I’m not a big shot, so I expect this will soon blow over.”
...
Zhou Hetang’s expression turned awkward. “Then… what do you mean?”
All the evidence had been laid out in front of everyone in the investment department, and Zhou Hetang’s reputation was completely tarnished. Surely it wasn’t just to embarrass him?
Indeed, Xiao Yebai said, “The incident got online, and the person who got hurt the most was my family. My wife is currently pregnant and pregnant women are a bit more sensitive. Because of this incident, she hasn’t spoken to me all day.”
Zhou Yunong: “…”
Last night when they met, she hadn’t noticed Mo Weiyi being particularly sensitive.
Zhong Kai wondered… Was it really only for today that she wasn’t talking to you? Yesterday’s call to invite the Little Princess to the reception didn’t seem to hint at that…
Xiao Yebai continued, “Although I’ve explained everything to her, she is still not very happy. I can only assure her that to avoid such misunderstandings in the future, Miss Zhou might have to step back from this cooperation to avoid any suspicions.”
Zhou Hetang immediately understood his meaning, “Since another project team is currently short-staffed, I’ll have Yunong help out there. From now on, my assistant will take over the liaison role with Mo Group.”
Zhou Yunong bit her lip, unhappy in her heart.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Xiao Yebai got up to leave.
Zhou Hetang personally escorted them to the elevator, and upon returning to the conference room, his face darkened. “Tell me the truth, why did you do it?”
Since there were no outsiders, Zhou Yunong stopped hiding her feelings. “I like him, I’m attracted to him! Is that not allowed?”
“Have you lost your mind? He’s already married, now a married man!”
“So what if he’s married?” Zhou Yunong was indifferent. “Don’t worry, I’m not so infatuated that I want to marry him.”
“Then what do you mean?”
Zhou Yunong smiled meaningfully, “Dad, just relax, I know my limits.”
How could Zhou Hetang possibly be at ease?
“I’ve always stayed out of your love life because I know you deal with it well, but Xiao Yebai isn’t like the guys you’ve manipulated before. You saw what happened just now…”

“I know, otherwise I wouldn’t have fallen for him.”
Since their last encounter at the racecourse, Zhou Yunong had not missed any opportunity to get to know Xiao Yebai better, but seriously…
This man spent all his days at the office or at home, rarely going out except for legitimate business. Zhou Yunong really hadn’t gotten much chance to interact with him. Now, seizing the opportunity through this cooperation, she didn’t want to miss out…
“Dad, I don’t want to go to another project team…”
“There’s no room for discussion!” Zhou Hetang flatly refused. “If it weren’t for the cooperation, do you think he would have shown you any mercy? What would happen to the Zhou Family’s face if all this went to the police?”
After taking a deep breath, he added, “From now on, you’ll help out Yunying. I will make sure she takes good care of you.”
Zhou Yunying was Zhou Yunong’s aunt and also worked in the investment department.
“Did you hear me?”
Zhou Yunong, reluctantly, complied, “I heard.”

Zhong Kai drove them back quickly to Mo Group.
As soon as they reached upstairs, a secretary hurriedly approached. “Mr. Xiao, the chairman is here.”
Everyone at Mo Group knew that Mo Yaoxiong, although the chairman, was only in a nominal role, and since old Mr. Mo had been hospitalized, he had hardly ever visited the company. His sudden appearance was surely due to the gossip news from that morning.
Immediately, Zhong Kai’s expression changed, “Mr. Xiao, should I print another copy of the earlier documents?”
“No need,” Xiao Yebai said before pushing open the door.
As the door closed, Zhong Kai was still watching.
“Assistant Zhong, do you think Mr. Xiao will be alright?” the secretary worried. “The media really has no shame, writing all sorts of nonsense, they’ve made Mr. Xiao out to be Chen Shimei now…”
Zhong Kai turned away, his expression severe, “Did you finish the report I asked you to analyze this morning?”
The secretary turned quickly, “Sorry, I’m on it right away.”
Once the others had left, Zhong Kai couldn’t help but laugh.
He really had the heavens on his side.
He had inadvertently mentioned the divorce rumors involving Xiao Yebai and the Little Princess in front of senior executives yesterday afternoon, and he had been anxious and tormented all day.
Whenever he heard people whispering, he feared they might be discussing whether Xiao Yebai was a scoundrel.
Now, with Xiao Yebai himself caught on camera and splashed across the web solidifying his reputation as a cheater, even though it was fake and the trending topic had been removed, the word was out.
Xiao Yebai, I didn’t mean to leak it; you brought this on yourself! You say you checked into a room—should’ve been more discreet! Guess you’re just not experienced enough…
The door suddenly opened at that moment.
Zhong Kai startled, quickly composing himself and calling out, “Chairman.”
Mo Yaoxiong, expressionless, quickly walked away.
…
In the car, Mo Yaoxiong directed, “To Lishui Bay.”
“Right away.”
**
An hour later, at Lishui Bay Villa.
Mo Yaoxiong entered the living room but only saw the housemaid cleaning.
“Where is Weiyi? Out shopping again?”
Aunt Zhou hurriedly responded, “The princess is in the back garden. I’ll go call her right away…”
“No need, I’ll go find her.”
“Okay.”
…
Recently, the place where Mo Weiyi had spent the most time was the villa, with not much to do on regular days apart from watching dramas.
The weather in Nancheng had been nice these past few days, so Rong An had set up two iron columns in the garden and hung a hammock.
The afternoon sun was a bit harsh, so they also installed a large sun umbrella next to it and set up a small table laden with fruits and pastries.
When Mo Yaoxiong walked over, he saw this scene of idleness.
His eyebrows unconsciously furrowed.
Rong An quickly noticed the newcomer and stood up to shout, “Mr. Mo.”
Mo Weiyi glanced sideways briefly before shifting her gaze back and continuing to play with her phone.
The screen was filled with photos she had just taken in the garden, enough to post a nine-square grid on her circle of friends.
“Weiyi,” Mo Yaoxiong approached and sat down at the table, “how have you been feeling recently?”
“Fine, I guess.”
Her tone was lackluster.
Mo Yaoxiong asked her, “Are you still angry with Yebai?”
With a “slap,” Mo Weiyi sat up from the hammock and slammed her phone onto the small table, “Did he send you to explain?”
Mo Yaoxiong’s expression suddenly darkened, “What kind of attitude is this?”
Mo Weiyi replied, “Your son-in-law went to a hotel with another woman, and you ask me what my attitude is?”
The more they talked, the worse Mo Yaoxiong’s tone became, “I already told you last night to spend more time with Yebai at the banquet. Instead, you left him there alone. Now this has happened…”
“So you’re blaming me now? His fooling around with another woman is because I didn’t accompany him?”
Mo Yaoxiong’s eyebrows knitted tightly, “If you had stayed with him all night, would this have happened?”
Mo Weiyi could hardly believe her ears, “Don’t forget I’m pregnant now. I don’t have the energy to accompany him to entertain every day! Since he can’t control himself, I see no need for this marriage to continue. And as for the baby in my belly, maybe I should just get an abortion…”
“You dare!” Mo Yaoxiong interrupted fiercely.
Mo Weiyi scoffed and turned her head to look at the bird cage nearby.
A canary was in the cage, chirping non-stop, which irritated Mo Weiyi. She turned back and said, “Right now, my phone is full of messages of sympathy from others, talking about how I’ve been cheated on, suggesting we each do our own thing. I didn’t do anything, yet people have written such things about me, and you still have the audacity to blame me; Dad, you’re being too much!”
Mo Yaoxiong’s eyebrows tightened further.
He took a deep breath and lowered his eyes.
The next second, his entire face froze in astonishment.
Mo Weiyi was still talking when she noticed something was off about Mo Yaoxiong.
“What are you looking at?”
Mo Yaoxiong finally recovered his senses, withdrew his gaze and clenched his fists, “How do you have a picture of Yebai from his childhood?”
Mo Weiyi looked down at the phone on the table.
She had just finished viewing all the photos, and scrolling to the last one revealed a family photo of Xiao Yebai that she had captured before.
She picked up the phone, took a closer look, and then asked, “Dad, have you met his parents?”
Mo Yaoxiong’s expression shifted, and he quickly denied, “How could I have met them?”
“Then how do you know it’s his picture?” Mo Weiyi countered.
Mo Yaoxiong: “…”
A second later, he quickly added, “I’ve seen his childhood pictures before, looks a lot like him now.”
Mo Weiyi looked at him, “Really?”
She lowered her head again to look at the photo.
The Xiao Yebai in the photo was only five years old, and indeed, he did resemble his current appearance, especially those distinctive peach blossom eyes…
“Did Yebai give you the picture?” Mo Yaoxiong suddenly asked.
Mo Weiyi felt a bit guilty and thought for a moment before giving a noncommittal “Hmm.”
If she had said she took the photo secretly, she probably would have had another earful from him…
Mo Yaoxiong seemed to believe it, “Last night, I was discussing business in the room with Mr. Zhou from the Zhou Family. Since it was very late and Yebai had drunk a bit, I booked that room and let him stay there to rest. I just went to the company, and Yebai told me that everything had been resolved. They’ve changed their contact at the Zhou Family, and Miss Zhou won’t be involved in this case anymore.”
He said a lot, but to his surprise, Mo Weiyi’s response remained indifferent, “Why are you telling me all this?”
“What do you mean by this? Yebai explained to you, and you don’t believe him. I personally came over to clarify, and you still don’t believe me?”
Mo Weiyi: “What does it matter whether I believe or not?”
They were already divorced after all!
Of course, she didn’t say that last part out loud; otherwise, Mo Yaoxiong would probably have started getting furious again.
She quickly changed the subject, “Dad, how has Grandpa been recently? I would like to go see him.”
“You’re pregnant, don’t travel around too much. Grandpa is recovering well; he manages to go outside for a bit in his wheelchair every day, so don’t worry.”
Mo Weiyi nodded, “Can you give me the phone number of the doctor overseeing Grandpa’s condition? I’d like to inquire more about his specifics.”
Mo Yaoxiong, thinking his daughter was concerned about their grandfather’s health, quickly gave her the number.
**
Once Mo Yaoxiong had left, Mo Weiyi picked up her phone and dialed the number.
“Hello, this is Mo Weiyi. I’d like to ask about my grandfather’s health condition.”
“Miss Mo?” The man on the phone had a rather gentle voice.
He detailed the old man’s health condition, summarized as needing continued rest, maintaining a careful diet and daily routine, with regular hospital check-ups to avoid any stimulation or emotional disturbances…
