Chapter 10  : Jealousy

“I had no idea how capable that dimwit was. If we had known that she would be marrying Mo Yu instead of an old man, we wouldn’t have asked that dimwit to come back. If we had asked Fang Yan to marry Mo Yu, then the Mo family’s assets would have belonged to us.”

Xu Xiu was so full of regret that she felt sick to her stomach.

“That sl*t, Fang Liu is still able to seduce Mo Yu even though she’s four months pregnant. She is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. How did such a good opportunity fall onto her lap? She’s a dimwit. What makes her worthy of this? How am I not better than her? Mom, I want to marry Mo Yu. I want to be the Young Madam of the Mo family!”

Fang Yan cried and whined. She was so full of jealousy that she had lost all sense of reason. Fang Yan wanted nothing more than to tear Fang Liu to shreds.

Xu Xiu had spoiled Fang Yan since she was young. Xu Xiu would give her biological daughter whatever she wanted. As she was crying and whining, Fang Yan began to plot.

In the meantime, Mo Yu had arrived at his office to deal with some of his company’s backlog. In the two days since his wedding, Mo Yu’s company was in a mess. Some seniors in the company kept a close eye on Mo Yu, eager to cause trouble. They were one step away from tearing Mo Yu’s company apart.

“Mo Yu, stop your work immediately!” An anxious and angry voice echoed from outside of Mo Yu’s office. Chu Hao walked to Mo Yu’s desk and slammed his hands on the desk. There was a worried expression on Chu Hao’s handsome and flirtatious face.

“Do you think your injuries are a joke? Do you have a death wish?”

Chu Hao was Mo Yu’s cousin. The two of them grew up together, and they were like brothers.

When the two of them grew up, Mo Yu went into business and became a legend in the business world of Southern City. However, Chu Hao was passionate about medicine, and he ended up becoming a famous doctor in Southern City at a young age.

After Mo Yu was ambushed, Chu Hao stayed with Mo Yu and treated him for a whole day before he could finally stabilize Mo Yu’s condition.

“Am I not well enough? I was well enough to attend my wedding yesterday.” Mo Yu smiled disapprovingly. Mo Yu’s hands did not stop moving as he continued to flip through his work documents.

“I’m not joking around!” Chu Hao snatched the work documents away from Mo Yu and fiercely said, “Your body is relying on medicine to support itself. The medication that you are taking is thirty percent poisonous. If you don’t get enough rest, your wife will be a widow sooner rather than later.”

“Why would you say something like that?” Mo Yu couldn’t decide if he wanted to laugh or cry. “Can’t you just pray for me? Alright, alright, I won’t work anymore.”

“Come with me for your treatment,” Chu Hao said sternly.

“No, I have to return to my wife,” Mo Yu said in objection. “This injury of mine will take some time to heal. If I don’t go home now, who knows what kind of uproar the old farts of my family will cause.”

However, the situation wasn’t up for discussion. Chu Hao escorted Mo Yuqiang to a hotel.

The matter of Mo Yu’s serious injury could not be publicized. Mo Yu and Chu Hao could only stay in the hotel and pretend to work.

“Drink that pot of medicine later. I’ll come back at night and give you another round of acupuncture.” Chu Hao put away his acupuncture tools and repeatedly warned Mo Yu, “Don’t even think about getting up and working, or I’ll tie you to the bed.”

Mo Yu smiled bitterly. “You even took my phone away, and there’s nothing for me to look at.” Chu Hao then nodded in agreement and turned around to leave.

After Chu Hao had left, Mo Yu lay on the bed in a daze. As the sun outside the window gradually set, Mo Yu started to think of Fang Liu.

‘I wonder what Fang Liu is up to. I wonder if she’s thinking of me.’

Mo Yu hadn’t realized that he started to miss the feeling of having Fang Liu right beside him.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. ‘Could that be Chu Hao? But he only left a few minutes ago.’ Mo Yu got up and put his shoes on. He walked toward the door and proceeded to open it.

Mo Yu could smell a strange but sweet scent as soon as the door was opened. Then, a pair of slippery arms wrapped around Mo Yu, a sweet voice whispered into Mo Yu’s ear, “Young Master Mo, let me be of service to you today. My dimwit sister doesn’t know anything.. Allow me to make you feel comfortable.”
