Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2596: Chapter 400: Teaching the Feng Family a Lesson

"Yes, Uncle Mo is quite skillful."

Ye Zhan repeated Chu Junming’s words.

Thus, Momo easily deceived him.

"Brother, Uncle Mo said that if you’re not in a rush to return to the Imperial City, you could stay here for a few days."

"..."

"He asked me to tell you not to worry about Sister-in-law, he and Aunt Wen are with her, and she won’t be in any trouble."

Ye Zhan knew that Momo wouldn’t be in trouble.

She seemed fragile, but in reality, she was braver, stronger, and more intelligent than anyone...

He felt that even the words he had learned over the past twenty years weren’t enough to describe her goodness, yet such a wonderful woman had to endure such cruel injuries because of him.

Just thinking about it made him feel heartbroken, wishing he could endure the pain in her stead.

"Brother, if you don’t want to return to the Imperial City so soon, we can stay here with you for a few days. After all, you’re injured, and there’s not much you can do even if you go back."

"Book the tickets back. Momo is gone, what am I staying here for?"

Seeing Ye Zhan about to leave, Chu Junming worriedly asked, "Brother, can you walk now?"

"Uncle Mo just let me sleep for two more hours."

Two hours were enough for them to board a plane.

——

In the president’s office at Haochen Group.

Mo Ziye put down the signature pen in his hand, stepped out from behind the desk with graceful steps to the sofa, and asked with a gentle smile, "Why is Mr. Huo here looking for my sister?"

Standing before the sofa, Huo Song quietly observed Mo Ziye, hesitated, then said, "Mo General, my junior’s phone is off, and I can’t reach her, so I thought I’d try my luck here."

Although Huo Song was Momo’s senior, he wasn’t very familiar with Mo Ziye, having only met him a few times.

"My sister went abroad."

"When did this happen?" Huo Song looked at Mo Ziye in surprise; leaving the Momo TV Station wasn’t something she had done herself.

He furrowed his brows slightly and finally asked the question he had been wondering about for days, "Mo General, did something happen to my junior, those rumors online..."

"Since you said they’re rumors online, they’re not to be trusted."

Mo Ziye interrupted before Huo Song could finish.

There was a trace of coolness between his handsome eyebrows, and the aura he emitted had an inherent nobility and cold arrogance, "My sister is fine, Mr. Huo needn’t worry. If she wants to contact you, she’ll reach out to you without needing you to find her."

Huo Song’s expression froze slightly.

He still wanted to say something, but Mo Ziye didn’t want to continue the conversation and gave a gentle but firm dismissal, "I have other clients to meet. Thank you, Mr. Huo, for your concern for my sister. I’ll treat you to a meal another day when there’s time."

An awkward look flashed across Huo Song’s face, but he quickly smiled lightly, "Then I won’t disturb Mo General any further. Please let Momo know I’m worried about her and ask her to contact me if convenient."

"Hmm."

Mo Ziye’s response sounded more like a perfunctory remark.

Even though Huo Song was fond of his sister, Mo Ziye was indifferent towards him.

After Huo Song left, Zhang Minghui walked in.

"Ziye, Ye Zhan is at the café across the street."

"What is he doing there?"

Mo Ziye raised an eyebrow, a cold curve forming at the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Minghui placed the documents that need signing on the desk before answering his question, "I’m not sure. I saw him enter with Mo Xin."

"Mo Xin?"

Mo Ziye scoffed coldly.

"Yes, Mo Xin. I’m not sure whether she went looking for Ye Zhan or if he was looking for her."

"He’s incapable of being with my sister, so he settles for Mo Xin, thinking that since Mo Xin grew up with my sister, she could replace her."

Though Zhang Minghui knew Mo Ziye was mocking Ye Zhan and didn’t truly believe that, he still shook his head and said seriously, "Probably not."

The phone rang, and seeing the caller ID, Mo Ziye set down the pen he had just picked up.

He decided to take the call first.

At the café across from Haochen.

Mo Xin subtly calmed the accelerated heartbeat caused by looking at Ye Zhan opposite her, "Ye Zhan, is your injury getting better?"

Although she wasn’t as pretty as Momo, she deliberately learned Momo’s style of dressing and even imitated her behavior to resemble her somewhat when ignoring her face.

Unfortunately, Ye Zhan didn’t notice it.

Perhaps it was because the woman sitting opposite wasn’t the one he loved, and no matter her resemblance in looks or even beauty, she couldn’t capture his attention or distract him.

"Didn’t you say you knew where Momo went?"

The mismatched conversation made Mo Xin feel both awkward and saddened.

A trace of somberness passed through her eyes, and she softly said, "My parents and Ziye are angry that Grandpa Ye and Uncle Ye made Momo sacrifice herself to save you, but I know, even without Grandpa Ye and Uncle Ye, Momo would have done the same."

"You don’t know where Momo is?"

Ye Zhan’s expression suddenly darkened, and he looked at Mo Xin sharply for seeming to defend him.

Mo Xin’s face paled, instinctively explaining, "Ye Zhan, don’t be mad. It’s not that I don’t know where Momo is, it’s just that I need some time. Believe me, I’ll definitely help you find out where Momo went."

Ye Zhan stood up to leave.

If Mo Xin hadn’t said over the phone that she knew where Momo went, he wouldn’t have come to meet her at all.

"Ye Zhan."

Seeing Ye Zhan about to leave, Mo Xin hurriedly stood up and reached out to grab him.

Ye Zhan wouldn’t let her catch his coat, and with a quick gesture, before anyone could see clearly, Mo Xin let out a low cry of "Ah" and bumped her body against the chair.

"Ye Zhan, once I have news of Momo, I’ll inform you immediately."

Ye Zhan left the café without looking back.

Mo Xin sat there, watching his proud and handsome figure leaving, secretly telling herself that with Momo gone, this was her best chance.

Last time Ji Anyun framed Momo, which implicated her and got her detained too.

After Ji Anyun was bailed out, she was released too.

Mo Ziye didn’t go after her anymore; she knew it was because something happened to Momo and the Mo family had no time to deal with her.

But when she went to work at Haochen on the eighth day, she was informed that she’d been fired, and seeing Ye Zhan today was purely an accident.

Inviting him to the café opposite Haochen was Mo Xin’s scheming.

She hoped Mo Ziye would see her meeting with Ye Zhan.

Mo Ziye was already mad at Ye Zhan for the Ye family’s sacrifice of Momo, and if he found out she met Ye Zhan, given his disposition, he would definitely dislike Ye Zhan even more and prevent him from being with Momo.

Mo Xin thought of this and confidently smiled, genuinely believing that given time, Ye Zhan would notice her, who resembled Momo in temperament and other aspects.

With Ji Anyun and Momo both out of the picture, it should be her turn to take the stage.
