Miao Shuya convinced herself to unveil the so-called secret this time. Regardless of whether Mo Yu would be angry, blame her, or even hate her, she had to tell him this.

For so long, this matter had been a thorn in her heart. She was always haunted by this matter. If one day it erupted out of her control, she was afraid Mo Yu would utterly hate her. 

Now, she had made up her mind. Nevertheless, she was worried about Mo Yu’s reaction. However, at least, she no longer had so many worries and scruples as before, nor did she have to face Ye Wei’s outrageous threats.

On this thought, she plucked up her courage and sent a message to Mo Yu: Are you free? Let’s have dinner together in the evening.

Mo Yu returned her message quite quickly: What do you want to eat? Japanese food or Western?

Miao Shuya thought for a moment: There is nothing wrong with the company today so I can go back early. I will go to the supermarket on my way and buy some groceries.

Mo Yu: That’s also fine.

It was actually rare for Miao Shuya not to work overtime. She packed up and went back first. She went to the supermarket to buy groceries. She planned to make spicy shrimp, steamed fish, stir-fried vegetables, and sweet corn pork rib soup.

And as luck would have it, it all was Mo Yu’s favorite.

At seven, Mo Yu arrived. 

He came directly from the company and was still wearing a suit, but his tie was taken off. He took off his suit coat and put it on the coat rack at the entrance. His white shirt outlined his perfect and straight figure.

He was quite tall, with sword eyebrows and bright eyes. He was remarkably handsome. At this time, he leaned at the kitchen door with his hands crossed on his chest, watching her. Miao Shuya inexplicably felt nervous, as if the room became cramped and stole her of her breath.

Miao Shuya bumbled, “You can sit and watch TV. It’ll be ready in a minute.”

Mo Yu made a noise, but didn’t go.

Miao Shuya was distracted when she thought of the topic she needed to tell later. Mo Yu didn’t go; She didn’t urge.

After waiting for a while, Mo Yu spoke first, “Did Ye Wei call you?”

Miao Shuya was just about to fry the vegetables, and the oil was only put into the pot. She was so shocked her hands shook. All the ginger and garlic fell into the pan, making a sizzling noise and masking her strangeness, “What about it? Did she tell you something? Really, that girl…” 

Mo Yu dismissed it, “She didn’t. I guessed.”

Miao Shuya asked, “Did Ye Wei come to find you?”

Mo Yu hummed. When he thought of this afternoon, he was a bit annoyed. He helplessly sighed, “Yesterday, she came to find me, what else can I do? This afternoon, she called me. I thought she was going to say something important. Unexpectedly, she called me only to say that you are not a good person and I shouldn’t believe you. Ai… I just hope one day she will rectify her ways of doing things.”

“Really? Ye Wei only told you that? She didn’t say anything else?”

Miao Shuya looked back and questioned him.

Mo Yu answered, “Nothing else. Only speaking ill of you. She said you lied to me, in a tone that made it like you have wronged me. Her words have neither rhyme nor reason, simply baffling. I don’t believe a word.”

When Ye Wei called, she was so sincere and genuine in her tone, sad and pitiful. She could pretend to be like that… Yes, in his opinion, Ye Wei was pretending. He couldn’t believe anything Ye Wei said.

He couldn’t be blamed for not believing Ye Wei. The main reason was that she had too many criminal records on herself. She could frame him. Of course, she could also frame Miao Shuya, whom she despised with all her heart. 

Besides, Ye Wei’s words had no credibility. In what way did Miao Shuya harm him?

He had known Miao Shuya for quite a long time. He understood what kind of person Miao Shuya was. She may have a cold personality, but she was a good person. In fact, she had helped him many times. She wouldn’t harm him.

He judged Ye Wei’s words were to sow discord between them.

Else, why did she tell him all this only when his identity was made public?

Miao Shuya smiled reluctantly. She went back to stir-fry the vegetables. “Why don’t you believe Ye Wei? What if I really lied to you and wronged you?”

Mo Yu smiled bitterly. He didn’t know how to believe Ye Wei’s words anymore. “No, I know you’re not that kind of person.”

Miao Shuya, “……”   

She was speechless. Mo Yu’s trust made her extremely delighted. But, at the same time, she was anxious, because she had done something bad. 

Even if she deemed Mo Yu’s phone was noisy, she shouldn’t answer the call recklessly. Let alone forgetting about that matter altogether. She was wrong and she couldn’t justify it.

But she couldn’t help but speculate, if at that time she had told Mo Yu, would it prevent Mo Yu and Ye Wei from breaking up?

Most likely not. Ye Wei… She knew how snobbish this woman was. She was certain the final outcome wouldn’t be any different from now.

Even now, Ye Wei only came back and demanded that she leave Mo Yu because Mo Yu suddenly became the son of the Chairman.

Mo Yu changed the topic, “That’s it. Let’s not talk about unhappy things. I’m so hungry. Can I eat now?”

Miao Shuya nodded, “Bring these dishes and chopsticks to the table. You can eat it right away. ”

Mo Yu obediently put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, Miao Shuya brought out the spicy shrimp and the steamed fish, while Mo Yu brought out the sweet corn pork ribs soup.

Miao Shuya was a bit restless during the dinner, but Mo Yu ate very well. She couldn’t help sneaking a few glances at him. Mo Yu noticed something was wrong with Miao Shuya and asked, “What’s the matter? I noticed you are quite troubled. Is there something wrong?”

Miao Shuya nodded. She hesitated to start, “I have something to tell you.”

Mo Yu smiled, “Just say it. Why so serious ah? You act as if you really harmed me?”

He was only joking to ease the atmosphere. However, he didn’t anticipate that Miao Shuya wouldn’t deny it. Instead, she looked at him with guilt. Mo Yu was uneasy and put down the dishes and chopsticks. He frowned, “Did you?”

Miao Shuya bowed her head. For a moment, she didn’t dare to look Mo Yu in the eyes. She nodded slowly, “This matter has been pressing in my heart. I want to tell you, but I’m afraid that you will blame me.”

“You are no longer afraid now?”

“I am still afraid. But, I don’t want to hide it anymore. Even if you blame me, I will accept it. After all, I am the one who wronged you. No matter what your reaction is, I can understand it.”

Mo Yu lost his mood to eat instantly, ““What the hell is going on. Speak clearly.”

Miao Shuya fired off, “I accidentally accepted a call for you before.”

Mo Yu was dumbfounded, “…that’s it?”

Miao Shuya recalled the scene that night and explained, “That night, we were working overtime. You were too tired and fell asleep, so did I. I didn’t even remember when I fell asleep. Later, I was awakened by your phone. I didn’t care much about it and went out to pick up a cup of warm water. But when I came back, your phone was still ringing. It was so noisy… So I picked it up…”

Mo Yu had no impression of it, but he reflexively thought of Ye Wei, “That call was from Ye Wei?”

Miao Shuya gave a nod, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was her. If I knew, I wouldn’t pick it up. ”

Mo Yu finally remembered about it. That night, he made an appointment with Ye Wei to watch a movie, but because he was swamped with work, he forgot about it. In addition, he worked overtime for several days. He was both sleepy and tired. He slept in the office that night. The next morning, he saw more than a dozen missed calls from Ye Wei.

At that time, he knew he was done. He called Ye Wei back and sent her messages, but she never answered. In the end, she directly notified him that they were over.

He muttered to himself, “So she broke up with me not only because she was angry that I forgot our date, but also because you answered my phone?”

Miao Shuya apologized again. She didn’t know what to say except for sorry at this time.

Mo Yu asked, “Did she say anything?”

Miao Shuya shook her head, “She only asked me about you…”

“And, how did you answer her?”

“I… I said… you were sleeping…”

Miao Shuya gathered all her courage to complete that sentence. She shut her eyes and bowed her head low. She was really ashamed to look at Mo Yu now. “She immediately hung up. It never crossed my mind that she would misunderstand you. I didn’t know it would cause you to break up with her. I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. You can scold me, I will absolutely not retort!”

Mo Yu never thought there was another reason as to why he broke up with Ye Wei. For a while, he was dazed. He couldn’t accept it. But, if only Ye Wei trusted him a bit more… If only she came to him and asked him… They wouldn’t end up like this.

He recalled the dispute between Ye Wei and Miao Shuya in the lobby of the company. Ye Wei was openly hostile to Miao Shuya at that time. It was probably because of this matter.

Miao Shuya studied Mo Yu’s reaction. His calm and thoughtful expression made her even more anxious, “Mo Yu……”

Mo Yu, “Sorry, give me some time.”

Miao Shuya apologized once again, guilt-ridden, “I’m sorry.”

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“I’m sorry.”

He appeared calm. He shook his head, “Nevermind, what’s the point of saying this now? Even without you, Ye Wei and I may still break up. What she wants, I can’t give it. Sooner or later, we will end like this.”

Miao Shuya was mum. Before, Mo Yu couldn’t give her anything. Now, Mo Yu could. Because of that, Ye Wei wanted to return to Mo Yu again.

Mo Yu had mixed emotions in his heart and had no appetite. “Well, if there is nothing else, I will go back first.”

Miao Shuya sent Mo Yu to the door and expressed, “I’m sorry that I only told you this now. I was afraid you would hate me for this, so I never dared to tell you. I can see that you like Ye Wei so much and I am the reason you and Ye Wei……”

Mo Yu shook his head. “It’s all right. You rest early.”

He took his coat and left.

Miao Shuya was dejected. She looked at Mo Yu’s back as he walked away. She couldn’t figure out Mo Yu’s mind. Still, she was relieved. At least, Ye Wei couldn’t threaten her with this matter again.

————·————·————

And not long after Mo Yu returned home, Ye Wei sent him a message, asking if he had asked Miao Shuya if he had lied to him: Miao Shuya, that woman is very scheming, and I knew she would definitely not tell you the truth.

Not long after Mo Yu got home, Ye Wei sent him a message and asked him if Miao Shuya had told any lies to him: Miao Shuya, that woman, is so scheming that I know she won’t tell you the truth.

Mo Yu called Ye Wei directly, “Shuya has told me everything.”

Ye Wei, “For real? No way? How could she be so generous!”

Mo Yu was silent for some time. He couldn’t hold back his words, “Why didn’t you tell me about this before? Someone answered your call, why didn’t you look for me? Why didn’t you let me explain?”

Ye Wei foresaw that Miao Shuya would definitely tell everything. Miao Shuya knew what kind of person she was, a woman who coveted glory and wealth. Now that Mo Yu could give her the things she wanted, she would use all the tricks she had to get Mo Yu back. Miao Shuya wouldn’t let her do as she wanted. If Miao Shuya let her be the one that explained it to Mo Yu, God knows how bad she would slander her. So, Miao Shuya chose to tell Mo Yu everything, about how she mistakenly answered his phone.

Ye Wei’s voice quivered, “I was mad. I waited for you for several hours. It was raining. I was drenched. I called you. I called you time and time again. You never answered. And when the call was answered, it was a woman. You say, how could I remain calm?”

Mo Yu blurted, “So you chose Mo Yuan instead?”

Ye Wei, “I only wanted someone I can rely on. I assumed you cheated on me and fell in love with another woman. What else can I do?”

Something clenched his heart and words escaped from Mo Yu’s mouth without him realizing, “Why didn’t you trust me? Even if you didn’t trust me, you should at least ask for an explanation from me, shouldn’t you? Yet, you didn’t even ask me anything. You one-sidedly demanded we break up. You didn’t answer my call nor did you reply to my chat. You didn’t give me any choice. What else am I supposed to do?”

Ye Wei shot back, “So now you are blaming me? Did you forget who missed our date? The one who hung me out in the cold and windy night all night was you. The one who let a woman answer your phone was also you. And now you blame me for not trusting you? Haven’t I said that I don’t like you getting too close to Miao Shuya? What did you do then? If you want me to trust you, you must at least do something worthy of my trust! Did you ever? Did you?! Instead, you wronged me so much! Just blame me! Blame that I can’t entrust my trust to you!”

Mo Yu was struck dumb by her. In a way, she was right, He was the one who wronged her. He shouldn’t blame her for not trusting him……

In the final analysis, the cause of this matter lies with him.

Mo Yu began, “Even if I was wrong, you shouldn’t…”

“Shouldn’t what? If I say we reconcile now, can you accept it?”

Mo Yu didn’t reply for a long time, “Do you think it’s still possible for us?”

Ye Wei coldly harrumphed. “You really fell in love with that bitch Miao Shuya? You are together with her now? Just as I expected! That woman has no good intention. She didn’t even tell you she answered your phone. She really had no conscience! This is too much! I have never seen such a shameless person as her!”

Mo Yu, “What nonsense are you spouting again? Don’t forget that you are now my…… Mo Yuan’s girlfriend, my nominal sister-in-law. Do you really think we still have a chance?”

Ye Wei, “Do you believe we are doomed to have no fate?”

Mo Yu, “……”   

Mo Yu, “Why did you never tell me about this before? Why wait until now?”

Ye Wei voiced, “I thought that since we have separated and you have fallen in love with another woman. So be it. I don’t want you to keep blaming yourself.”

“Heh. Don’t want me to blame myself? You never said it before, wasn’t it because you were afraid that I would pester you? You said it to me now, wasn’t it because you deemed that I was no longer the poor boy I used to be?”

Ye Wei, “Did you think that I am that kind of person? Mo Yu, you disappoint me.”

It’s not that Mo Yu thought of her like that. He had to, because…… 

“That’s the truth. Otherwise, I don’t understand. What else is the reason?”

“Of course it’s because I like you.”

“Heh.”

Her words were so fake that even his toes didn’t believe it.

“What are you laughing at?”

“Do you think I will believe your words?”

“You don’t believe me! See, you don’t even trust me! You are too much!”

She hung off the phone with a snap.

Mo Yu, “…Hello? Hello?”

He stared at his phone and tousled his hair irritably.

At this time, Ye Wei still wanted to lie to him. Did she believe that he was so easy to lie to?

Besides, even if they separated because of misunderstanding, could they still be together with their current identity?

————·————·————

Mo Yuan knocked on Ye Wei’s door, “What’s wrong? Why have you been hiding in your room all day?”

Ye Wei smiled profusely, hiding her phone behind her back, “I’m just a little sleepy and want to rest.”

Mo Yuan stroked her hair, Ye Wei had been used to his actions for quite some time. So she just accepted it as it was, obediently letting him stroke her hair.

Mo Yuan stared at her for a long time. With those profound eyes, what was he thinking?

Ye Wei’s mind spun. Did he overhear her call?

Then, shouldn’t he be happy? He shouldn’t have this expression.

“Mo-xiansheng what’s the matter? Why are you staring at me?”

“I was thinking, why are your eyes so beautiful?”

He really wondered. She was obviously a scheming and greedy woman. How did her eyes remain so beautiful and pure?

Ye Wei replied in a pleased tone, “It’s because I’m born beautiful ah~”

Mo Yuan was unruffled, “Oh.”

He turned around and left.

A pair of beautiful eyes were wasted in vain :)

“I have never seen such a shameless person as her!”

Maybe you should look in the mirror ah, Ye Wei.

Rule #1 of Vicious Supporting Female, they are never wrong. Even if they are, it’s because they are forced by the situation!

Learn from Yin Nanzhao from “The Memory Lost in Space”. “He never scolds people.” Chen Sha’s words were very honest. Except, the latter half of his sentence was omitted, “He is the kind that beat people directly to the hospital.”!

Talking is overrated, anyway.
