Mo Shenbai sat on the couch and patted her head with his warm hand. He knew that she had accompanied Chen Ying today so he asked, “Did you have a fight with your mother today?”
Xu Youyou pursed her lips before she said, “After shopping with my mother today, I met Fu Jianchen’s mother.”
“What?” Mo Shenbai’s eyes widened imperceptibly and his expression changed.
“I didn’t look for Fu Jianchen. We’re only ordinary friends at most. I don’t know what’s wrong with his mother. She scolded me for no reason and looked down on me for being raised in the countryside. So what if I was raised in the countryside? Isn’t the rice she eats grown by the farmers in the countryside?”
Xu Youyou was indignant. Why did people from the city look down on people from the countryside? Were people from the countryside not humans?
Mo Shenbai’s eyes flashed. Xu Youyou did not know anything, but he did. His voice was cold and tense, but Xu Youyou did not detect it when he asked, “Did she bully you?”
Xu Youyou shook her head. She raised her chin and said proudly, “No, I stood up for myself! I angered her so much that her eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets!”

Mo Shenbai heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. He touched her face and said praisingly, “Mrs. Mo is amazing.”
“Who asked her to look down on me? She thinks I’d take a liking to her son! Her son is not the emperor, and he doesn’t have the throne. I won’t like the eggs she laid!”

Mo Shenbai: “…”

Xu Youyou hugged his neck and said softly, “My Mr. Bai is still the best!”
Mo Shenbai smiled slightly. He lowered his head and kissed her before he said, “It’s good that you know that.”
Xu Youyou was taken aback. She looked around before she glared at him and punched him playfully. “Be careful not to be seen!”
“Why weren’t you shy when you jumped on me earlier?”
Xu Youyou’s cheeks puffed up. “I was too angry earlier!”
Mo Shen pinched her cheeks. “I haven’t seen you angry before.”
Xu Youyou was really angry this time. She tilted her head and thought about it for a moment before she said, “That’s right. In the past, Lin Yin’s mother also looked down on me and said a lot of nasty things, but I wasn’t really angry. I don’t know what’s wrong, but I was really angry today!”
How could Mo Shenbai know when she did not even know herself?
Xu Youyou thought for a moment before she replied seriously, “Maybe it’s because she’s too arrogant. If you’d seen her, you’d think her attitude is like that of Empress Dowager Cixi! Anyway, I don’t like her!” After a beat, she added, “No, I hate her!”
Mo Shenbai gently stroked her cheek and said, “Alright, don’t be angry. I’ll bring you to a cocktail party in a day or two.”
No one knew better than him what that person was like.
Xu Youyou’s attention was immediately diverted. “What cocktail party?”
“It’s a business cocktail party.”
Xu Youyou shook her head immediately. That kind of business party was the most boring. She did not understand all the business jargon they used, and she only felt sleepy listening to them.
“I heard that a famous French pastry chef was hired for the event. Are you sure you don’t want to come?”
Xu Youyou was instantly moved. “Okay, I think I’ll go!”
Mo Shenbai carried her and walked up the stairs.
Xu Youyou patted his shoulder urgently and said, “Quick, put me down! They’ll see us!”
“It’s fine if they see us. Showing off our love will make the marriage rate rise. I’m doing our country a favor!”

Xu Youyou: “…”
Country: “Thank you.”
…
Late at night.
Xu Youyou slept soundly on the messy bed. Her cheeks were flushed under her eyelashes.
Mo Shenbai tried not to wake her up as he lowered his head and gently kissed her cheek. He murmured, “Good night, Mrs. Mo.”
Then, he got up and silently left the room. He was dressed in his pants, and he wore a black coat over his shirt.
When he walked downstairs, Cang Ming bowed slightly and said, “Chairman Mo, I found it. She’s currently staying at Galan Hotel.”
Galan Hotel was also where Xu Youyou and Lin Yin held their wedding banquet previously.
Mo Shenbai stared straight ahead as he said coldly, “Let’s go.”
…
Galan Hotel.
As soon as Mo Shenbai walked into the lobby, the receptionist wanted to ask if he was going to check in when he walked straight to the elevator. She wanted to stop him but was stopped by the bodyguards behind him. She then brought her walkie-talkie, intending to call security.
At this time, Pei Chuan walked over and handed her his business card. “After today, the hotel will belong to the Mo Group. You can choose whether you want to be promoted or fired.”

The receptionist looked at the business card before looking at the noble and aloof man standing at the elevator. Then, she put down her walkie-talkie.
…
Room 888 on the 17th floor.
The doorbell rang continuously until a woman’s unhappy voice sounded.
“Who is it?”
Mo Shenbai stood at the door and did not say a word. There seemed to be someone looking at him through the peephole.
After a moment, the door slowly opened.
Bai Ying was dressed in the hotel’s bathrobe. Her hair was disheveled and did not look as exquisite as it did in the day. Her face was also slightly swollen. Her voice was cold and derisive as she said, “Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t see me again in this lifetime?”
Mo Shenbai did not reply to her. Instead, he just walked into the room.
Bai Ying did not stop him. She watched him walk to the couch and sit down. Then, she walked over slowly and sat at the side.
Mo Shenbai turned to look at her with eyes as sharp as knives as he said, “You and your pup should leave Mo City.”
Bai Ying frowned slightly as she said angrily, “He’s your brother!”
Mo Shenbai looked at her mockingly as he said, “His surname is Fu, and mine is Mo.”
Bai Ying said self-righteously, “He’s my son. Your younger brother! Both of you came out of my womb!”
1
Mo Shenbai sneered. “If I had a choice, I wouldn’t want to come out of your dirty womb.”
Bai Ying’s eyes shone with anger as hatred surged in her heart. She retorted, “If I had known better, I’d strangle you when you were born!”
Mo Shenbai sneered. “It’s too late. You can’t do anything to me now.”
Bai Ying’s chest heaved heavily. She picked up the cup in front of her and splashed its content at Mo Shenbai as she cursed angrily, “You’re the devil!”

The water was cold. Beads of water clung to his air and rolled down his face. However, the chill was nothing compared to the chill in his heart. He did not move. He only said very icily, “I’m warning you for the last time. Stay away from my wife.”
Bai Ying scoffed. “What can you do if I refuse to do so?”
Mo Shenbai narrowed his eyes. Then, he reached for the glass bottle and smashed it on the coffee table.
The glass shattered, causing Bai Ying to shiver instinctively. In the next second, the shattered glass was pressed to her neck. She did not even feel it when the glass cut her skin.
Mo Shenbai was not calm or aloof at this moment. He also did not have the gentleness when he faced Xu Youyou. His dark eyes burned with cold fury and murderous intent. He was like a completely different person at this moment.
