My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day-Chapter 865 - : 865, it’s just bad luck for this child...

Chapter 865: 865, it’s just bad luck for this child…

Mo Weiyi was completely stunned in place.

The despairing voice of the woman continued in her ears:

“I had a huge fight with Yaoxiong, he told me so much, but I know, these are all his lies!”

“I only found out that all he has done, was all for paving the way for his biological son!”

“I’m so foolish, I was deceived by him for over a decade…”

“Today, I told Weiyi to stop liking Xiao Yebai, but when she asked me why, I couldn’t say anything…”

“Why does God treat me like this, why…”

It wasn’t until the voice from the recorder pen completely stopped, and quiet returned to the room, that Mo Weiyi, chilled to the bone, sat down on the sofa.

She lowered her head, looking at the recorder pen in her hand.

The recorder pen had stopped playing, and the screen displayed that the playback time was less than half an hour.

Yet the content of the recording spanned several years.

It was apparent that Xu Jing only used this recorder pen to speak when she was extremely distressed or when a significant event had occurred, and this had become the only piece of evidence of the whole affair’s exposure.

Mo Weiyi just sat there, staring blankly ahead.

For a long time, she was dazed, her mind a complete blank, unable to think normally, as if she had been cursed to be frozen there.

After who knows how long, it was like she suddenly came back to her senses, her fingers trembling as she picked up the recorder pen and adjusted the playback time forward.

Then, Xu Xian’s voice came out again:

“Xiao Yebai…”

“Xiao Yebai is actually Mo Yaoxiong’s biological son! That woman, the one from back then, she didn’t die!”

“No wonder he is so good to Xiao Yebai! How could I be so foolish…”

Mo Weiyi pressed “stop” and put the recorder pen away.

Her eyes caught sight of the phone next to her, she quickly reached for it, opened “Photos,” and flipped through image by image, finally stopping on a family photo of three that she had secretly taken in the study before.

She tried to find some clue in it.

But…

Mo Weiyi dejectedly put down the phone.

She still couldn’t believe it.

How was it possible?

Xiao Yebai…

How could he possibly be Dad’s son?

She remembered that Xiao Yebai entered the Mo Family when she was 10 years old.

During that time, Mo Yaoxiong would bring boys home every so often, most of them were orphans, with no parents or a home to call their own, Rong An… was one of them.

But those boys usually became the Mo Family’s servants, drivers, or bodyguards.

Only Xiao Yebai, because he was the first one she took a liking to, Mo Yaoxiong had said then that he would become her brother, and from then on, he was taken in as an adopted son of the Mo Family…

All of this, it turned out to be Mo Yaoxiong’s planned scheme…

The phone suddenly rang.

Mo Weiyi lowered her head to see the words “Xiao Yebai” displayed on the screen.

Her icy fingers didn’t stop trembling, and her entire form, like a statue, maintained its pose without moving, just waiting until the ringing stopped and the phone screen gradually dimmed…

Until the phone rang abruptly again, Mo Weiyi snapped back to reality as if she had been electrocuted.

This time, the call was from Mo Yaoxiong.

She pressed accept and put the phone to her ear.

Mo Yaoxiong’s stern and dissatisfied voice came through, “What’s the matter with you? Not answering calls, not going to the hospital, do you know Yebai was injured in a car accident, you are his wife, even if you are petulant, you need to have limits!”

“Dad.” Mo Weiyi said, her voice trembling, “Where are you?”

“I’m at the old house, heading to the hospital soon.”

Mo Weiyi immediately said, “Don’t go yet, I need to talk to you about something.”

“Just have Rong An drive you to the hospital to see Yebai first…”

“I need to see you first!”

“What can’t wait to be said at the hospital?”

“It can’t.” Mo Weiyi emphasized, “Dad, I need to go to the old house to see you first, don’t leave.”

Mo Yaoxiong finally sensed something amiss, “What happened?”

“Mhm.” Mo Weiyi said, “Something very important, I must ask you in person.”

“…” The phone was silent for quite a while, and then, Mo Yaoxiong finally agreed, “Then come over now, I will wait for you at the old house.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Mo Weiyi immediately stood up, grabbed her handbag, put the phone and the recorder pen inside, and then walked quickly towards the exit.

Her steps were hurried, almost stepping down two steps at a time while holding onto the banister as she descended the stairs.

At the corner, Auntie Zhou in the living room heard the noise and looked up, her face turning white with shock at the sight.

She got up quickly wanting to help her, “Princess, where are you going?”

But Mo Weiyi, as if she hadn’t heard, shouted loudly, “Rong An! Rong An!”

The door of the guest room closest to the living room opened quickly, and Rong An came out.

“Quick, take me back to the old house.”

Rong An: “…”

Didn’t she just return from the old house this morning?

But he was not the type to ask too many questions. He soon came back, holding car keys and a phone in his hand.

New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.

Mo Weiyi moved briskly to the outside.

Her pace was so fast, her movements so rushed, that Rong An couldn’t help but frown.

He followed quickly, “Princess, what happened?”

Mo Weiyi didn’t speak, her beautiful features tightly drawn.

Once in the car, Rong An started the engine while looking at the rearview mirror.

Mo Weiyi was curled up there, head down, her hands tightly clasped together as if faced with something terrifying.

…

Because Mo Weiyi was pregnant, Rong An drove a bit more slowly.

It was forty minutes later when they reached the old house.

All the way there, the woman in the back seat hardly changed her posture.

When the car stopped, Rong An immediately got out and came to the back door, pulled it open, and extended his hand, “Princess, we’ve arrived.”

Mo Weiyi reached out to grasp his arm.

Through the thin layer of the shirt, her fingers felt almost deathly cold with no trace of warmth.

Rong An looked at her.

His expression was cold, his eyes filled with blood-like redness, but no tears…

He really didn’t understand what had happened.

But since Mo Weiyi was unwilling to speak, he could only slowly assist her toward the old house.

…

It seemed that he had some premonition, as Mo Yaoxiong was already waiting in the villa where he lived.

There wasn’t a single servant in the living room, just a pot of tea on the coffee table, with a cup beside it already poured and half-drunk.

The air was faint with the scent of tea.

Upon seeing Weiyi enter, Mo Yaoxiong’s brows tightened.

As she walked straight up to him, staring at him with those eyes…

Mo Yaoxiong’s frown grew even deeper.

He put down his teacup, glanced at Rong An who had stood by the door since entering, and then asked in a low voice, “What do you want to talk to me about?”

Weiyi continued to stare straight at him, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions.

After a long while, she finally spoke up, her voice hoarse as she called out, “Dad.”

Mo Yaoxiong looked at her.

The next second.

“Is Xiao Yebai your biological son?”

As these words dropped, the expression on Mo Yaoxiong’s face became nearly uncontrollable.

Then, he stood up quickly, his voice reprimanding, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Now that it’s come to this, are you still going to lie to me?” Weiyi looked at him intently, finding each word incredibly difficult to say, “After all, I’m not the Mo Family’s daughter, so now it really doesn’t matter if you tell me the truth…”

She took a deep breath before she could continue, “You’ve lied to mom for so many years, aren’t you tired? Now you actually want to continue lying to me, to continue deceiving grandfather…”

“Weiyi!” Mo Yaoxiong interrupted her, “Did Xu Jing tell you this?”

After saying that, he immediately tried to rush outside, “This wicked woman! I will not let her off this time!”

“She didn’t say it!” Weiyi screamed.

Mo Yaoxiong’s steps halted, and he turned around, still with an angry expression, “Then tell me, who did?”

“So, it is true, isn’t it?” Weiyi countered.

Mo Yaoxiong’s face turned fierce, “Weiyi, you are my daughter, Yebai is your husband; in my heart, both of you are my children…”

Weiyi bowed her head and pulled out a voice recorder from her bag.

Raising her face again, her expression was cold and mocking, “This is a voice recorder left by mom, it contains everything she said herself, do you want me to play it now?”

Without waiting for Mo Yaoxiong to answer, she immediately pressed “play”.

Xu Xian’s voice then came out from the voice recorder.

“Xiao Yebai turns out to be Mo Yaoxiong’s biological son!”

Just as she uttered this first sentence, Mo Yaoxiong’s entire body shook violently.

He reached out to steady himself on a Taishi Chair, preventing himself from falling to the ground.

Following that, he stood there motionless like a statue, letting Xu Xian’s voice on the recorder play out in its entirety.

The living room was deathly quiet.

It was so quiet that not even breathing sounds could be heard.

“Dad.” Weiyi closed her eyes briefly, “Do you have anything else to say now?”

Mo Yaoxiong slowly lifted his head.

His complexion was ashen, as if he were a soulless specter, and it took a long while before he finally said, “Weiyi, this matter…”

“Why did you do this?” Weiyi’s voice shrilled as she interrupted him, “So, the reason you brought back so many children from the orphanage all those years ago was to pave the way for your own biological son!”

She couldn’t help but let out a scornful laugh, “No wonder you’ve been so good to him over the years; now I understand everything.”

“It’s my fault.” At this point, Mo Yaoxiong could only admit.

“Yes, you’re wrong!” Weiyi couldn’t help but accuse, “You didn’t just deceive mom, you also deceived grandfather, deceived me!”

“Weiyi…”

“I’m going to tell Grandpa!”

“You can’t tell him!” Mo Yaoxiong sharply intervened.

“Why not?” Mo Weiyi didn’t understand.

Mo Yaoxiong said, “Your grandfather’s health is already like this. If he suddenly learns about this, do you think he can survive this ordeal?”

Mo Weiyi thought about the gravely ill appearance of the old Mr. Mo in the hospital room this morning, but…

She challenged, “Why didn’t you tell him earlier? After mom passed away, there were five whole years when you clearly could have told him!”

Mo Yaoxiong looked at her. “When I found out about Yebai, you were already five years old.”

Mo Weiyi: “…”

So what?

“Except for your grandmother, no one else knows that you are just a child I adopted from the orphanage. Xu Xian devoted all her love to you, and your grandfather liked you very, very much…”

“At first, I was afraid that Xu Xian couldn’t bear the blow of her child dying immediately after birth. I thought of letting Yebai come back first and then finding the right moment to tell your father. But who knew after Xu Xian passed away, you took such special care of Yebai. You even told me, ‘It has to be him or no one else’…”

“If I were to reveal the truth at that time, I would also have to disclose the fact that you’re not the Mo Family’s daughter. You were only sixteen at the time, how could you have accepted it? After you were involved with Yebai when you turned eighteen, it became even harder for me to speak out…”

“…” Mo Weiyi was speechless.

So, had Mo Yaoxiong been hiding this secret for so long for the sake of his adopted daughter?

Her emotions severely collapsed, and her delicate white fingers clenched tightly together. Due to the force, her knuckles had almost turned white.

“One wrong step, and every step is wrong, so I could only decide to keep the truth hidden. After all, after you married Yebai, it meant that Yebai would always stay with the Mo Family, and that didn’t seem to matter…”

“How can it not matter?” Mo Weiyi’s eyes were fiercely red. “You’re deceiving everyone like this…”

“I’m doing it for everyone’s sake!” Mo Yaoxiong persuaded her. “Now that you know about it, be nicer to Yebai in the future, understand?”

“You still want me to keep hiding it?” Mo Weiyi was surprised. “I’m not as ruthless as you, I can’t keep secrets…”

“You have to keep it hidden whether you want to or not.” Mo Yaoxiong’s voice was very stern. “Your grandfather is in this condition now. Isn’t it better to let him leave in peace? If this gets out, he simply can’t handle it…”

“But how do you know Grandpa wouldn’t want to acknowledge him? Knowing that I’m not of the Mo Family’s blood has already been a huge blow to him. Do you want him to leave this world with regrets?”

“Regrets…” Mo Yaoxiong scoffed softly, “It’s better than living with remorse.”

“What do you mean?”

Mo Yaoxiong explained, “You’ve seen your grandfather’s attitude towards Yebai over the years. If he knew that the person he’s been guarding against and disliking for so many years is actually his own flesh and blood, his grandson, what do you think a proud man like him would think?”

“…” Mo Weiyi was at a loss for words again.

Indeed.

Over the years, ever since Xiao Yebai came to the Mo Family, old Mr. Mo never showed any fondness for him.

He didn’t know that Xiao Yebai was actually his grandson, Mo Yaoxiong’s son, so in his eyes, Yebai was no different from the other bodyguards or drivers.

If it wasn’t for her insistence, stubbornly making him agree to her marriage with Xiao Yebai, it’s unlikely he would ever trust Yebai with anything, let alone agree to entrust the company to Yebai’s management…

“Weiyi, you’re a smart child. You should understand my point,” Mo Yaoxiong said with emphasis. “Grandfather doesn’t have much time left. Let him leave this world peacefully. As for the future, you will be my own daughter, and Yebai will be the Mo Family’s son-in-law. Nothing will change.”

“But…” Mo Weiyi bit her lip. “Don’t you think that’s very unfair to Xiao Yebai?”

For so many years, everyone in Nancheng thought that Xiao Yebai was the son-in-law who married into the Mo Family, often snickering behind his back that he was living off a woman. But he clearly wasn’t…

Suddenly, Mo Weiyi felt all her previous anger dissipate in an instant.

Xiao Yebai’s ruthlessness towards her, his strategic management of Mo Group, in truth, he was just taking back what belonged to himself.

What right did she have to be angry with Xiao Yebai?

Xiao Yebai was the legitimate heir to the Mo Family!

And she, she was just an adopted daughter…

In the quiet living room, after a long time, Mo Yaoxiong’s voice slowly rose again, “It’s unfair, but there’s nothing to be done… it’s just this child’s bad luck…”

**

As he left the room, Mo Yaoxiong said, “Rong An, stay back.”

Weiyi Mo didn’t look back.

Outside, she quickened her steps and nearly tripped over something as she turned a corner.

A servant hurried over, “Princess, are you alright?”

Leaning against the wall, Weiyi Mo suddenly burst into laughter.

Princess…

What princess are you?

You’re not a princess at all…

“Princess? What’s wrong?” the servant asked, looking at her in surprise.

Then footsteps approached from behind.

“Princess.”

It was Rong An.

Weiyi Mo stifled her laughter, her tone indifferent, “Did Dad ask you to keep this a secret?”

Rong An nodded, “The Chairman also said to take you to visit Young Master Xiao at the People’s Hospital.”

“Oh,” Weiyi Mo replied.

Whether she agreed, or just…

“Princess, what are you planning to do?” Rong An couldn’t help asking.

Weiyi Mo shook her head, it took her a while before she said, “I don’t know.”

She really didn’t know.

What she did know was that her heart was in complete turmoil.

…

After getting into the car, Rong An quickly drove off.

If Weiyi Mo didn’t speak, he simply followed the same route back.

Meanwhile, Weiyi Mo sat in the back seat, staring out the window since getting in the car, lost in her thoughts.

She kept asking herself over and over, why? Why did it turn out this way?

The recent series of events was too melodramatic, even more twists and shocks than any movie or TV drama she’d ever seen.

Her phone rang again.

Weiyi Mo looked down, took out her phone.

Seeing the name “Xiao Yebai” on the screen, she pursed her lips and after a long while, she finally pressed “hang up.”

Then she said, “Rong An, go to People’s Hospital.”

“Alright.” Rong An nodded, turned the steering wheel, and drove towards the People’s Hospital.

**

People’s Hospital.

After finding the room number, they went upstairs to Xiao Yebai’s room.

However, upon opening the door, they found the room empty.

Rong An turned to ask a nurse in the hallway outside.

“Mr. Xiao went down to another ward,” the nurse said enthusiastically, “Are you here to visit? I’ll go down and call him for you.”

“Thank you.”

Rong An quickly returned, “Princess…”

“I heard,” she said.

Rong An: “…”

In the quiet ward, Weiyi Mo slowly sat down on the sofa.

This man really is…

He kept calling her to come see him, and now that she was here, he was not.

…

The ward downstairs.

“I can’t take this check,” the driver waved his hands in refusal, “It was my carelessness while driving that caused the accident. The fault lay mainly with me; I can’t accept your compensation…”

“It was my fault,” Xiao Yebai, dressed in a hospital gown, despite a gauze bandage on his forehead and wearing the hospital gown, exuded an air of slender elegance. Even his tone was gentle, “If it weren’t for me, you should be in Kyoto celebrating the festival with your daughter right now.”

“Oh, I don’t observe such Western holidays, and besides,” the driver looked around at the array of nutritional products filling the room, “you sent so many things over… This is more than the gifts I get for my birthday.”

Xiao Yebai slightly curled the corner of his mouth.

Without showing much expression, but having been his assistant for several years, Zhong Kai naturally understood his boss’s meaning and hurriedly placed the check down.

The driver wouldn’t dare to accept it?

He only had a broken bone in his left arm, and his injuries were not that serious; a few days’ rest would suffice.

Plus, after reviewing surveillance footage, the police had already placed all the blame for the accident on the truck driver, and compensation to cover medical bills had long been sufficient…

“Mr. Xiao, I’ll take the nutritional products, but really, there’s no need for compensation…”

“Knock, knock, knock.”

The door was suddenly knocked a few times, and a nurse called from the doorway, “Mr. Xiao, someone is looking for you in the upstairs ward.”

Xiao Yebai asked, “Who is it?”

The nurse said with a smile, “A very beautiful girl, I heard the person with her calling her princess.”

Upon hearing these two words, the expressionless man’s face subtly shifted.

The driver watched him.

Princess?

Is this…

Immediately, Zhong Kai eagerly said, “Boss Xiao, the princess has come to see you.”

Xiao Yebai nodded.

Turning back and seeing the puzzled look on the driver’s face, he suddenly spoke up, “It’s my wife.”

The driver: “…”

Zhong Kai also: “…”

Suddenly felt full…

**

The ward upstairs.

Weiyi Mo sat there, slightly frowning, her clear, cat-like eyes fixated on the hospital bed.

The sheets on the bed were rolled to one side, looking rather disheveled.

Besides that, there was nothing on the bed, yet Weiyi Mo kept staring at it.

Not even sure what she was looking at.

Until footsteps came from outside…

Weiyi Mo withdrew her gaze.

Rong An immediately stood up, “Young Master Xiao.”

Xiao Yebai slowly walked in from outside, glanced at the woman sitting on the sofa, then sat down beside the bed.

The room fell silent.

Rong An quickly said, “I’ll go out first.”

Mo Weiyi didn’t say anything.

Xiao Yebai then gave a nod.

…

The door closed, and the hospital room once again fell silent.

Xiao Yebai looked at the woman sitting on the sofa.

Since he had entered, Mo Weiyi had been sitting there without speaking, just bowing her head the whole time.

Her slender body was adorned in an exquisitely delicate dress, as always, the only difference was that she wasn’t wearing much makeup due to her pregnancy.

Having not visited the styling salon for a long time to get care, her fluffy curls were a bit loose and messy. However, they had grown much longer than before, gently curled and draped over her shoulders…

With her current posture of bowing her head, she looked both melancholy and beautiful.

Xiao Yebai scrutinized her closely, and finally spoke slowly, “You came to see me just to look down like this?”

Mo Weiyi didn’t speak.

Xiao Yebai: “…”

After a while, he raised an eyebrow and simply picked up the mobile phone beside him to look through.

The room was filled with silence for a good while.

Mo Weiyi, not hearing any sound, finally raised her head to look at the man in front of her.

Then, she thought to herself that Xiao Yebai didn’t look like Mo Yaoxiong at all.

Mo Yaoxiong had that typical ordinary man’s appearance; one couldn’t say he was handsome, at best one could say his features were well-proportioned.

But Xiao Yebai was much more refined. Whether it was his features or the contour lines, each was fine and appealing, not resembling the men of the Mo Family at all.

Suddenly she recalled that family portrait of three…

Yes, Xiao Yebai must have inherited his mother’s looks completely; his mother had the typical beauty of a southern woman.

If one must say there was something similar to Mo Yaoxiong, it might be their height, right?

The old man of the Mo Family and Mo Yaoxiong were both over one meter eighty tall, and Xiao Yebai was one meter eighty-eight.

But besides that, not at all alike. And because she was the princess of the Mo Family and they were married, no one had ever doubted any relation between him and the Mo Family…

Mo Weiyi was staring blankly at the man’s handsome and three-dimensional features until… Xiao Yebai suddenly looked up.

His deep, dark peach blossom eyes met her daydreaming gaze.

Being hospitalized due to his injury, he wasn’t wearing glasses and his complexion was slightly pale, but his eyes were as deep and enigmatic as ever.

As Xiao Yebai slightly raised his eyebrows, just about to speak, Mo Weiyi suddenly snapped back to reality.

Then, she quickly averted her gaze.

Xiao Yebai: “…”

The man quickly narrowed his eyes and almost without thinking asked, “What were you just looking at?”

Mo Weiyi kept her head down and started being silent again.

But her gaze from a moment ago…

The man’s handsome brow slightly furrowed, “What exactly happened?”

Seeing that Mo Weiyi still wasn’t speaking, he called out, “Rong An.”

Rong An was standing outside the door, and upon hearing the call, he quickly pushed the door open, “Young Master Xiao.”

The indifferent and imposing man sat up in the hospital bed, his brows furrowed as he asked, “What happened?”

Rong An glanced at Mo Weiyi.

Then he spoke, “Nothing.”

Xiao Yebai’s voice carried a tight displeasure, “Where did you just go?”

Rong An said, “I went back to the old house once.”

But what exactly happened, he didn’t say, and Mo Weiyi didn’t either.

Xiao Yebai was naturally aware of this fact, so he said, “Do you need me to call and ask myself?”

Rong An: “…”

“No need to ask,” Mo Weiyi spoke in a low voice.

Xiao Yebai’s gaze shifted to her face.

Mo Weiyi lifted her head, but her gaze still didn’t meet his; instead, she looked out the window and said indifferently, “Nothing happened, I just… am in a bad mood.”

The tense look on Xiao Yebai’s face did not ease any, “Why are you in a bad mood?”

“No reason,” Mo Weiyi’s tone remained even, “Aren’t all pregnant women like this, don’t you know?”

This time it was Xiao Yebai’s turn to be silent: “…”

Rong An glanced over and quietly left the room.

The door was closed again.

Then, Xiao Yebai’s voice arose, “You know.”

Mo Weiyi didn’t deny it, “Mhm.”

Up to this day, she no longer knew whom to blame.

Blame Xiao Yebai for not loving her?

Impossible.

Where did she get the face to blame him?

Because of her existence, he, who was clearly the young master of the Mo Family, had been forced to wander in exile for fifteen years and even experienced the unbearable pain of losing his mother at a young age.

Yes.

On the way to the hospital, she thought a lot.

She also thought about the words Zhan Yao had told her.

Zhan Yao was Xiao Yebai’s best friend, and the most accurate information about him came from Zhan Yao.

If it weren’t for Zhan Yao, she would never have known how dark Xiao Yebai’s days were before he turned fifteen.

But now, she knew that all of this was indirectly caused by her…

If it weren’t for her being brought back to the Mo Family by Mo Yaoxiong first, considering his personality, upon discovering his biological son, how could he not immediately have him acknowledge his lineage, after all… as a son, he was truly outstanding and perfect!

A faint scorn slowly appeared on Mo Weiyi’s lips.

No wonder, from childhood to adulthood, even though she was the Mo Family’s princess, she was never outstanding in anything she did.

Aside from a pretty face, she was practically useless!

When she was a child learning musical instruments, she had neither talent nor perseverance.

Not like him…

After entering the Mo Family at the age of fifteen, in just under two or three years, he could play beautiful piano pieces and easily passed his violin exams.

And his academic performance, without anyone pushing her, she would never want to study proactively, just as unlike him…

Even with poor family conditions and growing up in a tough environment, he still easily took the top rank in his entire grade.

After joining the Mo Family and getting a better education, Xiao Yebai’s intelligence and wisdom became more apparent, getting into America’s top research institutes at eighteen. In just a few years, he earned a double doctorate. After returning to China and joining Mo Group, his success was unstoppable…

It could be said that the current glory of the Mo Group was all facilitated by him; even if he was not the son of the Mo Family, all the company shares should rightfully be his, right?

The more Mo Weiyi thought, the more suffocated she felt.

She even didn’t dare lift her head to meet his gaze…

Because as soon as she saw his eyes, she would feel that her recent actions rebuking him were overly ironic and ridiculous!
