The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and no one could concentrate on their work anymore.
Mo Lian and Mo Yushen were always the topic of conversation among Mo's employees during their leisure time, as their personal abilities were evenly matched.
They all have good looks.
In addition, the lives of wealthy families are often complicated, and the female employees of the company love to gossip in private.
The news spread not only within the Mo Group, but also to Cheng Weiming, whose law firm was one of the legal advisors for the Mo Group. This change in senior management involved some changes to company documents.
At noon, he received a call from the secretary of the board of directors of Mo's company, asking him to come over in the afternoon.
Cheng Weimo hung up the phone with the board secretary and tried to call Mo Yushen, but couldn't get through.
Mo Yushen messaged him this morning, saying he was on a business trip today and probably hadn't landed yet.
Who knew we'd run into each other downstairs at the Mo's Building?
"I thought you were on a plane, I couldn't get through to you on the phone."
Cheng Weimo came in, and Mo Yushen came out; the two met face to face.
Mo Yushen: "The signal might be bad."
Cheng Weimo wasn't concerned about that right now, and asked him, "What exactly happened?"
Overnight, Mo Lian became the biggest winner.
Others may not know how much effort Mo Yushen put into achieving the success of Mo's Real Estate today, but Cheng Weimo does.
But with just one sentence from Dong, everything was reduced to nothing.
Mo Yushen gave an irrelevant answer, saying, "I have an appointment with the head of the pharmaceutical company's R&D center, and I'm in a hurry."
Cheng Weimo: "..."
This hasn't even been officially announced yet, and they're already this dedicated?
Submissiveness is not in Mo Yushen's character.
Mo Yushen knew Cheng Weimo's doubts, and he said, "What I don't want to give up, no one can take away."
Cheng Weiming patted Mo Yushen on the shoulder, his meaning unspoken.
With Mo Yushen's words, he was no longer worried.
However, the task is arduous and the road ahead is long.
Mo Lian was no ordinary person, and Mo Yushen was no benevolent person either.
These two are going to have a fight.
"What does your divorce agreement say?"
Mo Yushen lifted his foot, then put it down again, pausing for two seconds. "Xi Jia has an equestrian competition next month. Let's talk about it after the competition."
Cheng Weiming nodded. Being indecisive and always considering the other person's feelings wasn't Mo Yushen's style.
As soon as he got into the car, Mo Yushen received a message from Xi Jia, which was a video.
The video showcases Xi Jia's prowess on horseback.
Chic and sexy.
A dashing and heroic figure.
Then, Xi Jia's voice call came in.
With fragmented memories, Xi Jia seems like a completely different person.
In the past, they would often go more than a month without contacting each other, without phone calls or messages.
Mo Yushen answered the phone, and Xi Jia immediately asked, "Have you finished reading it?"
"Um."
"Is your technical skill up to par?"
Mo Yushen didn't respond. He had watched the video, but he hadn't paid attention to how well she rode.
The video was of indoor obstacle course training. Xi Jia specially asked her staff to film it and send it to Mo Yushen.
Mo Yushen didn't expect that she still remembered what he had said in the mountains before: to qualify for the competition, she had to pass the assessment by his coach.
Her memory is discontinuous, fragmented.
She remembers most of the people who were in her life before.
But the people I've met and the things that have happened to me in the past year have basically left no trace.
I don't know what memory touched her about qualifying for the competition, but even after so much time has passed, she still remembers it vividly.
Mo Yushen did not back down and remained firm in his stance: "Videos don't count; we'll assess you in person."
Xi Jia replied confidently, "Whatever you say."
"Honey, what time will you be home tonight?"
Xi Jia was taking a break during the intermission and, feeling rather bored, chatted with Mo Yushen for a bit.
Mo Yushen had never reported his schedule to anyone before, and he wasn't used to it, but he still said, "Before nine o'clock."
Xi Jia: "Then I'll be home at 9:01."
Before hanging up, she gave a smug laugh.
His smile was pure, yet also tinged with arrogance.
Mo Yushen turned off his phone screen, leaned back, and closed his eyes to rest.
That laugh just now dispelled the gloom that had plagued me all morning.
Chapter Eight
Xi Jia hadn't ridden a horse for a while, and it took her several rounds of training in the morning to find her best form.
My memories related to horses are still intact.
She had just tried out the two Arabian horses that Mo Yushen had given her, and they were quite good.
It was almost lunchtime when she went to find Wu Yang.
At this moment, Wu Yang was in dire straits.
Ten minutes ago, an uninvited guest arrived at the office.
Jiang Qin was in a bad mood because of her breakup, so her agent told her to rest for a few days and didn't arrange any announcements or activities for her.
She drank too much last night and slept until nine o'clock today. When she woke up, she was bored and spent some time at home in a daze. Then she drove all the way to the horse farm.
Jiang Qin came over to check on her horses, but Wu Yang told her she had to wait until next time, as the two horses from last time were with Xi Jia.
Jiang Qin was already furious with Mo Yushen, so she finally exploded.
Jiang Qin had already thrown a tantrum, but she was still not satisfied. "Why did you give away my horse? Did you even ask me?"
Wu Yang lowered his eyes and silently drank his coffee.
The horse didn't actually belong to Jiang Qin. Mo Yushen had promised Jiang Qin that if there were any spare horses available when they arrived, he could give her one.
I don't know what Mo Yushen was thinking, but he gave it all to Xi Jia.
Jiang Qin wasn't that enthusiastic about equestrianism; it was just a whim that she wanted to raise a horse.
If it were anyone else who wanted that horse today, Jiang Qin probably wouldn't care, but it was Xi Jia.
Jiang Qin and Xi Jia have always been at odds.
The incident started when Xi Jia and Mo Yushen got their marriage certificate. Jiang Qin felt that Xi Jia was not good enough for Mo Yushen, and when she was complaining about Xi Jia to her friends behind her back, Xi Jia happened to overhear her.
Neither of them were easy to deal with, and they made some insinuations about each other to each other's faces.
From then on, a grudge was formed.
'Knock knock'.
There was a knock on the door.
Wu Yang looked up abruptly, his eyes gleaming. He was a savior. Just as he was about to say "Please come in," a voice came from outside the door first, "Yang Yang."
Xi Jia's voice.
Wu Yang felt a chill run down his spine.
What a wonderful day it is today, that both of his great-aunts have come to visit him.
If Jiang Qin in front of her has a straight flush, then the person outside the door has a royal flush.
All he wants to do right now is call 120 (emergency services).
Jiang Qin looked at Wu Yang with a deep gaze, "Someone is looking for you, can't you hear them?"
The voice outside the door continued, "Wu Yang?"
Wu Yang got up and quickly ran to the restroom.
Jiang Qin looked completely bewildered.
Wu Yang pretended to have just come out of the restroom and called out to the door, "Xi Jia, come in."
Then, the door opened.
Their eyes met.
Jiang Qin's usual arrogant gaze met Xi Jia's calm eyes, as if she were looking at an insignificant person. Soon, her gaze swept over Jiang Qin and fell on Wu Yang.
Xi Jia didn't remember who Jiang Qin was and thought she was a client of the club. She smiled slightly and said to Wu Yang, "I didn't know you had a guest. You go ahead and do your work."
Wu Yang hurriedly replied, "It's alright, what do you need me for?"
Xi Jia: "It's alright. I really like the two horses my husband gave me. Thank you for taking good care of them these past few days."
The sudden change in style made Wu Yang a little uncomfortable, and he kept saying, "Of course, of course."
Jiang Qin scoffed inwardly. Xi Jia was deliberately showing off, blatantly slapping her in the face.
