Chapter 531: 531, isn’t an adopted son also a son?

When the driver left and the car door closed, Mo Yaoxiong turned to his daughter, “Weiyi, be honest with me, what’s going on between you and Yebai?”

Mo Weiyi lowered her head.

There were still traces of unvanquished blood stains on her hands and clothes, a frightful sight she has yet to wash away.

Just thinking about Xiao Yebai vomiting blood earlier made her heart ache as if it was being slashed by a knife.

“Wasn’t it you who was constantly following him around, insisting on marrying him?” Mo Yaoxiong’s voice echoed once more. “How long have you been married? Two years?”

Mo Weiyi clenched her fingers, looking up at her father, “But we can’t carry on.”

“Nonsense!” Mo Yaoxiong said sternly, “There are no outsiders here, tell me the truth, have you fallen for someone else?”

“Dad?” Mo Weiyi exclaimed, “Why don’t you ask whether it is he who has fallen for someone else?”

“Yebai will not fall for another woman.”

Mo Weiyi was even more surprised, “How do you know?”

Mo Yaoxiong squinted his piercing eyes, “If he could fall for another, he would have done that a long time ago. Would he have waited for you to marry him?”

Despised by her own father, Mo Weiyi was both angry and dissatisfied, “Dad, what do you mean by that?”

Am I really that inferior?

Mo Yaoxiong said, “Anyway, I will never agree to a divorce, so put that idea out of your mind.”

“Why?”

“No reason.” Mo Yaoxiong said in a decisive tone.

Mo Weiyi frowned, “Then you might as well imagine that I’ve fallen for someone else, I no longer have feelings for him, I want a divorce.”

“Who’s the man you’ve fallen for?”

“Not yet, but I just don’t love him anymore.”

“Weiyi, can’t you be more sensible?” Mo Yaoxiong said in a tone of angered helplessness, “Yebai is busy dealing with the company’s affairs every day. The scale of the Mo family is getting bigger. From top to bottom, he is the only one in charge of all the staff. Now, at the end of the year, all the branches have so much work, they are busy to the point of vomiting blood and getting hospitalized. Instead of understanding and giving him space, you’re throwing tantrums at this time? Do you have to trouble him with such trivial matters?”

“I don’t think this is a trivial matter.” Mo Weiyi pouted and looked at her father with grievance. “In a marriage, if there’s no feelings, should we still continue living together?”

Mo Yaoxiong’s tone remained cold and hard, “Even without feelings, you two must continue.”

“Why?” Mo Weiyi truly couldn’t understand.

Under the illumination of the car’s lights, Mo Yaoxiong’s features were tense. His brow furrowed sternly, “You are the Mo family’s daughter, you should understand that for the sake of the company, for the Mo family, you can’t divorce Yebai.”

“I don’t get it, what does my divorce have to do with the company? Even if he’s not my husband, he’s still my brother in name. He can still stay in the Mo family and continue working for the company, right? Isn’t an adopted son still a son?”

Hearing this, Mo Yaoxiong’s expression changed slightly, and then he said, “It’s not that simple, and I’ve promised your mother, I won’t let you divorce.”

Mo Weiyi was immediately left speechless, “My mom has been gone for four years.”

Mentioning Xu Xian, the atmosphere inside the car suddenly went quiet and heavy.

After a long while, Mo Yaoxiong sighed deeply, “Weiyi, your mother and I only had you. Your grandfather is old, he can die any day now. I don’t have enough energy to manage the three things going on in the Mo family. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Mo Weiyi shook her little head.

“Sigh.” Mo Yaoxiong decided not to say more.

He glanced at the time, “Don’t worry, Yebai won’t cheat, he’s a very responsible man. He once personally promised your mother he would take care of you for a lifetime.”

Mo Weiyi looked at her father, her heart was stunned.

She was only sixteen when Xu Xian passed away. She was the one who initiated intimacy with Xiao Yebai when she was eighteen. Before that, Xiao Yebai was indifferent to her, how could he have promised to take care of her at such an early stage?

Then she asked, “Does an elder brother take care of his younger sister like this?”

“After getting married, he’s your husband, and will only be your husband in the future.” Mo Yaoxiong said seriously, “I will consider this matter as if it never happened. Grandpa’s heart is not good, he can’t be overstimulated. If you have any filial piety left, discard the idea of having a divorce completely. Go back and have a good talk with Yebai. Discuss any issues openly…”

“Dad.” Mo Weiyi suddenly interrupted him, “Why didn’t you tell me that Yunyao likes him?”

“Did Yebai tell you?”

“Do you think that’s possible?”

“What do you mean?”

Mo Weiyi said, “My aunt told me.”

Xu Jing?

Mo Yaoxiong furrowed his brows, lowered his voice and said, “I only found out about it when I checked her mobile. I didn’t tell you because I feared that you would overthink and get emotional once you know about it. Your grandfather thought the same. We asked Yebai about it, turns out it’s Yunyao’s unrequited love.”

“Really?”

“Or else what could it be? Yebai is a very rational man, he won’t do such an outrageous thing. You don’t need to doubt this.”

Mo Weiyi fell silent.

Yes, Xiao Yebai is very rational, especially when dealing with women.

So when Xu Jing said those words, even though she was furious, she knew deep down that Xiao Yebai would not have done anything with Qu Yunyao.

Contrarily, she was more concerned about Tian Ye.
