nMo Yichen went back home while Li Yunhong was waiting for him on the sofa.

n“Mom, you are still awake?”

nMo Yichen kneaded his shoulders and was about to go upstairs after changing his clothes.

n“Where did you go?” Li Yunhong was a little bit angry.

nMo Yichen knew her intention as she asked.

n“I went to the hospital.”

n“For Gu Yan?”

n“Yes.”

nLi Yunhong became very angry. She walked towards Mo Yichen and said, “Do you know Uncle Chen is in that hospital, too?”

n“Yes. I also know that you paid his surgery bill in my name.”

n“I…” Li Yunhong felt embarrassed when she was exposed.

n“So what? You almost got your Uncle Chen almost killed just for a woman. What’s wrong for me to do that?”

nFor the sake of the baby who was sleeping, Li Yunhong lowered her voice.

n“It’s fine to pay the bill. But why did you do that in my name? Mom, how many times do I have to say that? Chen Qian wouldn’t feel depressed if she knew my feelings. The truth is that she should have no expectation at the very beginning.”

nMo Yichen went to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of milk to recover from fatigue.

nHowever, Li Yunhong didn’t let him go.

n“What do you think the entire field would think about you since you terminated the agreement because of a woman? I’m so disappointed at you!”

n“Mom, I don’t want to argue with you. I’ve told you many times that I had no feelings to Chen Qian. And I took special measures because Chen Qian crossed the line.”

nThe maid Li Ling heard the argument and went downstairs instantly. Seeing them arguing fiercely, she stepped forward and wanted to break the ice.

n“President Mo, are you hungry? Do you need me to cook something for you?”

n“No, thanks.”

nHe glanced at Li Ling.

nLi Yunhong didn’t let Mo Yichen go. She walked before him to question him.

n“Are you blaming me? I’m just trying to give you a better life. Chen Qian would be a good wife and a powerful supporter for your business. Why can’t you see that?”

n“No way. Could you please just stop and do not act on your own?”

nMo Yichen pulled his tie impatiently and drank the milk. Then he bypassed Li Yunhong and went upstairs.

n“Hey, I’m not finished yet. Where do you think you are going?”

nLi Yunhong called Mo Yichen but got no respond.

nThey parted on bad terms. But Li Yunhong would never give up. Instead, she even got a worse impression about Gu Yan.

nMo Yichen returned to his room and lay down on the bed. Gu Yan’s words echoed in his mind.

nThe most important reason why Gu Yan felt tired must be Chen Qian, who looked for troubles without a break.

nFiguring that out, Mo Yichen found out Li Qinglan’s number.

nMo Yichen went to sit on the tatami in the balcony. He was too agitated to mess up his clothes.

n“Hello, Auntie. It’s Mo Yichen.”

nLi Qinglan was surprised to hear that. She checked the number and then made an eye contact with Chen Kaiming.

n“Hmm. Isn’t it the famous President Mo? How come you finally got time to send your respects?” Li Qinglan asked affectedly.

n“How is Uncle Chen?”

nLi Qinglan was dissatisfied with Mo Yichen since his greeting was so late.

n“Well, thanks for your concern. He’s lucky to be saved from death.” Li Qinglan replied politely but filled with dissatisfaction.

nChen Kaiming winked at Li Qinglan to remind the latter to watch her mouth. After all, the contract was now renewed. Given the friendship between the two families, Li Qinglan had to be polite.

n

n

n“What’s the matter?” Li Qinglan waved her hand impatiently to her husband.

n“Just for the record, I am afraid that both of you misunderstand the relationship between me and Chen Qian. Things won’t work out between us. I think it’s better for you to know.”

nChen Kaiming finally understood why he called. That’s quite embarrassed.

nHe got a feeling that his daughter was chasing back to Mo Yichen.

n“I…”

nChen Kaiming cleared his throat and picked up the phone.

n“It’s too late. We’d better make it clear face to face.”

n“Chen Kaiming is still under recovery. It’s better not to stimulate him.” Thinking of this, Mo Yichen didn’t continue the topic.

n“OK. But nothing is gonna change.”

nThen Mo Yichen hung up the phone.

nHowever, Li Qinglan and Chen Kaiming couldn’t calm down.

n“Look what you’ve done. Mo Yichen sounds determined this time. How many times do I have to tell you? Enough is enough. Why don’t you listen to me?”

nChen Kaiming threw the phone aside and complained as he coughed.

n“So now it is all my fault? As far as I am concerned, it is the powerlessness of your company that makes him feel emboldened.”

nLi Qinglan dared not to say more.

n“The powerlessness of my company? Come on. It is Gu Yan who means a lot to Mo Yichen. He’s willing to do anything for her. I think Qianqian has no chance.”

n“How can you say that? I have no idea why he called us. It only makes us jittery.”

nLi Qinglan was dissatisfied. So, she tugged the quilt and turned her back to Chen Kaiming.

nBut she couldn’t sleep well with her eyes wide opened in the dark.

nChen Kaiming looked at Li Qinglan’s back and shook his head helplessly. “Women are difficult to read. My company would operate normally if she didn’t make trouble.”

nChen Qian heard the conversation between her father and Mo Yichen as she was about to get into the ward. She clenched her fists tightly and forced herself to keep silent.
