Chapter 1295: 317: It’s Ni Yang!_2
Xiu Jiao smiled, “This is simple. I have a good friend whose younger sister seems to be pretty close to the head of the Ice Skin Jade Complex North China’s main store. If you’re interested, I can ask around for you. Having connections is always better than not.”
“Really?” Xiu Yingying asked.
Xiu Jiao nodded.
“Then I’ll trouble you, Aunt.”
After leaving Xiu Yingying, Xiu Jiao went straight back to the Mo Family.
Mo Rongping was at home with Mo Zhiyuan. Normally considered a stern person, his face lit up like a flower when holding Mo Zhiyuan.
Xiu Jiao threw her handbag onto the sofa, her expression full of displeasure.
“What’s the matter? Who upset you now?” Mo Rongping asked with curiosity.
“Other than your brother, who else in this household would dare to show me an attitude?”
Mo Rongping paused. “Zhiyuan?”
Mo Rongping had three younger brothers, but the first person to come to mind was Mo Qishen—not because he was special, but because he was the only one of his brothers living in Beijing.
“Yes, it’s him. Just thinking about it makes me boil!” Xiu Jiao started airing her grievances. “No matter what, I am his sister-in-law, the wife of the eldest son of the Mo Family…”
Xiu Jiao danced around the details, embellishing the story while portraying Mo Qishen and Ni Yang as ungrateful people.
Mo Rongping frowned slightly. “As far as I know, Zhiyuan isn’t someone who lacks judgment. Did you do something even more over-the-line?”
As the eldest son of the Mo Family, Mo Rongping was not someone who disregarded right and wrong.
He had watched Mo Qishen grow up and knew his character well.
Xiu Jiao blurted out incredulously, “What could I have possibly done that was considered over-the-line? Rongping, we’ve been husband and wife for a lifetime. You know what kind of person I am! How could you think that about me?”
Mo Rongping placed the child onto the sofa, “If you don’t want to tell me, then I’ll go find Zhiyuan myself.”
Xiu Jiao’s brows furrowed, and a sudden wave of melancholy swept through her heart.
She was reminded of Mo Qishen’s remark.
Her marriage to Mo Rongping had been arranged.
In a relationship without a foundation of affection, even the most basic trust from Mo Rongping was out of reach for her.
Despite all these years of living conscientiously, Mo Rongping still didn’t trust her.
How laughable and pathetic.
“Don’t go.” Xiu Jiao called out to Mo Rongping’s retreating figure.
“You’re willing to explain?”
Xiu Jiao nodded.
Better for her to tell the story herself than for Mo Qishen to embellish it.
After all, she had done nothing wrong.
Xiu Jiao recounted the situation to Mo Rongping.
Mo Rongping frowned tightly. “Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!”
Xiu Jiao said, “I just wanted Yingying to stay with them for a while. How is that considered ridiculous? Their house is so big—wouldn’t it easily fit Yingying? Besides, Yingying isn’t an outsider; she’s my niece!”
To Xiu Jiao, this was nothing more than a common request.
She hadn’t expected Ni Yang’s reaction to be so extreme!
In her eyes, Ni Yang was making a mountain out of a molehill!
Mo Rongping tried to restrain himself as he replied, “Xiu Jiao, do you honestly think everyone else is stupid? Do you think Mom and Dad don’t know Yingying’s intentions? Why else do you think they suddenly told her to move out?”
If not for considering Xiu Jiao’s dignity, Mo Rongping would’ve directly called her a fool!
She was simply foolish!
Bold enough to seek humiliation and be so self-righteous about it!
Xiu Jiao’s face gradually drained of color. “What are you talking about?”
Mo Rongping continued, “Xiu Jiao, are you under the impression that none of us know what Yingying’s plan is? She’s been staying in our house all this time because she wants to marry Mr. Mog! Isn’t that right? Back when Zhiyuan had a bad reputation, you all kept your distance. But now that you know Mr. Mog is Zhiyuan, you shamelessly cling to him! You might not feel embarrassed, but I feel ashamed for you!”
Xiu Jiao swallowed hard, overwhelmed with shame and indignation.
She could never have imagined that they were all aware of Xiu Yingying’s feelings…
So, the fact that Xiu Yingying wanted to marry Mr. Mog wasn’t a secret within the Mo Family…
“I… I just thought Ni Yang was somewhat unworthy of Zhiyuan,” Xiu Jiao hesitated and then added. “Rongping, do you know what I saw when I went to Zhiyuan’s place this morning? It was already past ten o’clock, and Ni Yang still hadn’t gotten out of bed! Tell me, what kind of wife behaves like that?”
Mo Rongping replied:
“Their private matters are none of your business! Who do you think you are? Do you really think everyone must listen to you?”
