Novel Bin Chapter 366 - Mrs. Mo
Chapter 366: Chapter 367 Mrs. Mo
Mo Yizhi didn’t object to the decision. It meant that the decision to arrange for Ziyuan to join Fengchang was made by someone else…
It also meant that he was not worried that Mo Fei would blame him for using Ziyuan…
Moreover, the reason why he didn’t object to the decision was most likely that the person who made the decision had an identity that he couldn’t afford to offend. Only in this case would Mo Fei not blame him…
But who had such an identity? The identity that Mo Yizhi could not afford to offend?
There seemed to be only one answer… He said that I was the second person who could force him to surrender with eyes…
Mo Yizhi lowered his head and sniffed the fragrance of tea, and asked casually as if he was chatting about some unimportant matters, “Little Chu, since you think Miss Xue is not the Third Lady, then who do you think the Third Lady is?”
I was right about one thing. Mo Yizhi had already seen the results he wanted to see after I had sex with Ziyuan. Therefore, he did not mind giving me a hint, and this hint had actually appeared more than once in our conversation.
The funny thing was that because my mind was filled with anger and confusion, I didn’t realize it until this moment. No wonder I felt that there was a sense of incongruity in Mo Yizhi’s words. It turned out that it was the tone he used when he mentioned Ziyuan.
Even if I had seen through the disguise of Ziyuan and pointed out that she was not the Third Lady, Mo Yizhi still called Ziyuan Miss Xue respectfully.
Ziyuan was the same age as me. She was two years younger than Mo Fei, and in Fengchang, she was just Mo Fei’s assistant. She who was like a chess piece gave up the dignity of a woman for some benefit and had sex with me… But even so, Mo Yizhi, one of the business tycoons in Bei Tian City, still politely and respectfully called her Miss Xue!
I finally understood what Mo Yizhi wanted to tell me…
I no longer had the urge to slap him because I knew that he was not the person I was looking for.
“I don’t know…”
“You will know sooner or later, but now you don’t need to know because you are too impulsive.”
After Mo Yizhi said that, we stopped talking. I didn’t ask him more questions because Mo Yizhi had already said everything he could. At this time, Long Shan and Mrs. Mo also walked out of the room after changing their clothes.
The fact that Mo Fei liked me didn’t seem to be a secret in the Mo family. The questions that Mrs. Mo asked me weren’t as elegant as she looked; she always asked me questions related to my family. But the strange thing was that she didn’t ask anything about me. Probably, she often heard Long Shan and Mo Yizhi talking about me. It actually made me wonder if they were praising me or belittling me when they talked about me.
After she heard that my old man was teaching in a famous university in the city. Mrs. Mo looked at me even more respectfully. But later, I understood why. Although Mrs. Mo was a well-known lady from a distinguished family, she married Mo Yizhi who was 7 years older than him when she was just 20 years old and became a full-time housewife. As a result, her university studies were ruined, which became the regret of her life.
So she always respected the people who read more than her and had a lot of knowledge… For this reason, she seemed to like me a lot. She even praised me from time to time, saying that I was very polite and sensible, and the children of the educated people were really not ordinary. It seemed like she was comparing me with the children from the wealthy business family.
Don’t pick on youth for being poor. Perhaps Mo Yizhi was a perfect example of a poor youth becoming successful. Under his influence, Mrs. Mo had no prejudice against little people like me. She had a quietly elegant temperament and liked quietness. Because of this, she always gave people an otherworldly feeling.
Some people would think that this kind of person was arrogant and not easy to talk to, but that was actually not the case. It was that what they were after was simple and real things, and they didn’t like those hypocritical things.
However, nowadays, many people were wearing masks on their faces. There weren’t that many simple and honest people. With this kind of personality, it was not difficult to understand why she looked down on those wealthy young men who would find various reasons to visit her. Clearly, they wanted to chase Mo Fei, but they would always give elaborate talks.
This kind of character was quite similar to my old man, and as someone who had almost 24 years of experience dealing with my old man, it was not difficult for me to find the best way to talk to her. I didn’t deliberately lower myself to talk to her. Instead, I talked to her in a way that I usually talked to my friends. As our conversation continued, the quietly elegant woman who was said to like quietness actually became more and more interested in talking with me. She even chuckled from time to time, making Mo Yizhi and Long Shan gasp in shock as if she was acting very strange today.
In Mrs. Mo’s eyes, bragging about one’s family wealth like a peacock showing off its tails was an immature behavior. In my conversation with Mrs. Mo, I realized that she was actually a very sensitive perfectionist who believed in her own feelings too much. To put it nicely, she was very selective about the things she liked and disliked, to put it bluntly, she had a strange prejudice.
In other words, if she liked you, she would think all the good things about you. Whatever you did, she would only focus on the good aspects of it. Conversely, if she didn’t like you, then whatever you did, she still wouldn’t change her mind to like you.
Using the example she mentioned herself. Liu Xiaosheng once came to visit her especially. From the method Liu Xiaosheng used to pursue Shu Tong, it could be seen that he was a man who knew how to please other people. However, Mrs. Mo didn’t like him. The reason was that he was too good at pretending. He obviously had excellent conditions in all aspects, but he had to act overly humble. It even made Mrs. Mo feel that he was being very hypocritical.
Of course, Liu Xiaosheng was an extremely hypocritical guy, and there was no doubt about that. However, it was also undeniable that Mrs. Mo’s dislike of Liu Xiaosheng was unreasonable. Think about it, if Liu Xiaosheng didn’t act humble enough, Mrs. Mo would probably think that he was being too arrogant.
Therefore, Mrs. Mo was a very complicated person. She was tolerant, yet prejudiced. Her criteria for judging others was entirely based on her personal preference. She looked mature, but actually, she was very simple and naive. It was just that her appearance was very deceitful…
I knew what she liked and what she disliked. I didn’t know why, but she always gave me a feeling that she and Chu Yuan had many things in common.
It had probably been a long time since Mrs. Mo had such a hearty conversation with others. After chatting with her for a long time, she gradually revealed a tired look. I got up at an appropriate time and told her that it was time for me to leave. She wanted me to stay for dinner, but I told her that I had other things to do. This made her like me even more, because, in the past, many people would love to stay for dinner…
But then again, as I said, after she had a good impression of you, she would only think good things about you. This had something to do with the environment Mrs. Mo grew up in since she was a child. Her quiet personality was destined to lead to narrow social skills, and her narrow social skills determined the lack of social experience. Therefore, she was actually quite naive…
Mo Yizhi’s habit of closing the curtains in his office all the time, and his fear of seeing the light was probably affected by his wife. Mrs. Mo stood at the door and did not dare to come out, as if she was scared that she would melt under the sunlight. She just waved to me at the door and then returned to the house. After she left, Mo Yizhi finally had an opportunity to speak to me.
“Little Chu, there is one thing I have to warn you. I know that you have made Zhang Mingjie suffer losses two times, but don’t underestimate Zhang Mingjie. Maybe that’s what he wanted you to think.”
I was dazed for a second after hearing what Mo Yizhi said. I didn’t know why he would tell me this, but after thinking about it, I said with a smile, “I would never underestimate anyone. But I don’t think he would have time for little people like me.”
“Mhm,” Mo Yizhi nodded approvingly, “It’s good that you have this kind of attitude. But also don’t underestimate yourself. You might not be a threat to the Zhang family now, but what about in the future? No one can guarantee it, so you have to keep these words in mind.”
After that, without waiting for my response, he waved to Long Shan to start the car. Long Shan nodded and drove me out of the residential area.
In the eyes of the Zhang family, I was a threat? Mo Yizhi’s words puzzled me. Could it be because I extorted money from Zhang Mingjie and broke the marriage contract between Zhang Peiwen and Liu Xingyu, so that I was hated by them? But that still wouldn’t make me a threat to the Zhang family, right? After all, I didn’t have the capital to become their threat.
“Some things will not go your way…”
“Huh?”
Long Shan spoke suddenly, which startled me. She turned her head and took a look at me. “You think that you are not a threat to them?” She actually knew what I was thinking.
