Xu Jialu laughed upon hearing Yun Youwei’s words. His expression of contempt was very obvious.
The expression on Xu Youyou’s delicate face was very calm as she said, “I’m not unhappy. After all, the lunch had been eaten by my brother.”
The others were stunned. They did not expect this response from Xu Youyou.
Mo Shenbai lowered his head, and his eyes carried a hint of a smile as he looked at Xu Youyou. He could not help but pinch her hand slightly.
Xu Youyou looked up at him in confusion as though she was asking, “Why are you pinching me?”
Yun Youwei’s expression was a little unsightly as she said, “Then, I won’t disturb you.”
After saying that, Yun Youwei carried Xie Yumu and walked toward the door.
At this moment, Yao Yao happened to walk in with a glass of fruit juice. Upon seeing Yun Youwei, she smiled politely.
Yun Youwei lowered her head and did not even look at Yao Yao as she walked toward the elevator.
Yao Yao frowned before she walked in and handed the fruit juice to Xu Youyou and said, “Mrs. Mo, here’s your fruit juice.”
Xu Youyou pouted, looking slightly annoyed. “I already said you don’t have to address me as Mrs. Mo.”
Upon hearing this, Yao Yao looked at Mo Shenbai. Seeing that he had no reaction, she giggled and said, “Why don’t you ask Chairman Mo if he agrees?”
Xu Youyou turned to look at Mo Shenbai.
Mo Shenbai walked over and helped Xu Youyou set the glass of fruit juice down as he said to Yao Yao, “Don’t worry about it. Go eat.”
“Alright! Thank you, Chairman Mo!” Yao Yao said happily before leaving work early for lunch.
Pei Chuan, who was standing guard at the door, was sad when he saw Yao Yao leaving early for lunch. If he had known, he would have personally delivered the fruit juice. After all, the menu in the cafeteria today was mutton stew!
After everyone left, Xu Jialu said, “Didn’t I f*cking tell you to clean up your fucking mess?”
Xu Jialu’s gaze seemed to say, “Are you really that useless?”
Mo Shenbai said calmly, “She suddenly decided to return without informing anyone in advance. I only found out about it later.”
Xu Jialu scoffed. As he ate from Yun Youwei’s lunchbox, he cursed, “You’re a cold-blooded capitalist. Apart from exploiting ordinary workers like us, what else can you do?”
Xu Youyou could not help but laugh. She wondered how Mo Shenbai could endure her brother’s barbed words.
Xu Jialu glared at her and said, “You still dare to laugh? She came here to strut around. Your husband is about to be seduced by that fake woman, and you still have the mood to laugh! How can our Xu family produce a fool like you?”
Mo Shenbai frowned. Just as he was about to retort, Xu Youyou said in a crisp voice, “No matter if she’s fake or not, she won’t be able to seduce Mr. Bai. I trust him!”
Xu Youyou had promised she would trust Mo Shenbai so she would trust him 100%. She would not doubt him at all.
Mo Shenbai’s frown eased immediately. He said with a faint smile, “Apart from you, no one can seduce me.”
Xu Jialu was so angered by the duo that he choked on his words. ‘I’m worried about her, but she turns around and displays her love to him! It’s really f*cking amazing!’
“I can’t be bothered with the two of you!” Xu Jialu set the empty lunchbox down before rising to his feet, intending to leave.
Seeing that her brother was about to leave, Xu Youyou said, “Brother, I just finished my exams today. Do you want to eat with us?”
It had been a long time since Xu Youyou had eaten with her brother.
Mo Shenbai frowned immediately. ‘Who wants to eat with this guy?’
Xu Jialu glanced at the unhappy Mo Shenbai before he licked the grain of rice at the corner of his lips and burped. “No need. I’m full.”
Xu Youyou: “...”
‘How on earth can you mock her when you finished eating everything she cooked?’
…
Mo Shenbai brought Xu Youyou to Sky Garden for lunch.
Xu Youyou did not forget Mo Zhiyun’s matter this time. She hesitated for a moment before she said, “Actually, I met Lu Heyun before. He’s not a bad person. He’s bright and cheerful. His academic results are also very good.”
Mo Shenbai glanced at her nonchalantly and asked, “So?”
“Zhi Yun likes him very much. If we give them a chance, perhaps they’ll be a very happy couple one day…”
Mo Shenbai put his chopsticks down. A hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes as he said, “You didn’t ask me to let him enter the company. Instead, you’re asking me to give him and Zhiyun a chance…”
“Well, I know you’re not someone who can’t distinguish between work and private matters. If Lu Heyun is really capable, you won’t reject him. After all, you highly valued my brother whose character is a little bad…” Xu Youyou said. Then, as an afterthought, she added, “Of course, everyone has flaws. Apart from my brother’s sharp tongue, he really doesn’t have any other flaws…”
“Lu Heyun is indeed a talented person. If he doesn’t provoke Zhiyun, perhaps, I’ll give him a chance,” Mo Shenbai said indifferently. He did not belittle Lu Heyun. There was no need for that at all since Lu Heyun was nothing in his eyes.
Xu Youyou did not understand him. “What do you mean?”
Mo Shenbai poured Xu Youyou another glass of fruit juice as he said, “He once pursued a senior for three years. Suddenly, he changed his mind and paid attention to Zhiyun just as he was about to graduate. Do you really think there’s such a coincidence?”
Xu Youyou frowned slightly, somewhat unwilling to believe this. “Are you saying Lu Heyun is using Zhiyun? How can it be? I don’t think he’s that kind of person. Moreover, he even helped me before when Wang Xiaohui came to look for trouble with me at the university. At that time, he didn’t even know my identity.”
Mo Shenbai only raised an eyebrow, and he did not say anything.
“Well, since you’ve said that, perhaps, I might be mistaken,” Xu Youyou said. She did not like forcing others. She had already tried her best. If Mo Shenbai disagreed, there was really nothing she could do.
At this moment, Mo Shenbai suddenly relented. “I can allow him to join the company. However, as for how high he can climb, that’ll depend on his ability.”
“Why did you suddenly change your mind?” Xu Youyou asked, surprised.
“It’s nothing.” Mo Shenbai did not care about Mo Zhiyun, but he cared about Xu Youyou. Since Lu Heyun helped Xu Youyou once, he would return the?favor once. However, he would only make sure that Lu Heyun was accepted by the company; that was all he would do. As for being with Mo Zhiyun, Lu Heyun could only keep dreaming.
“Thank you!” Xu Youyou said excitedly. She picked her glass up and toasted him.
Mo Shenbai smiled slightly. As long as she was happy, he would be happy as well.
…
Xu Youyou spent the first week of summer vacation immersed in depravity. That man who had been neglected for a long time was tirelessly demanding. Each time, she would be so exhausted that she would fall asleep immediately after. Fortunately, he was very considerate. He would help her clean up and even change her clothes after.
At one point, Xu Youyou even wondered if she should stew some soup to replenish her energy.
Today was no different. Xu Youyou only woke up at 10 AM due to the late-night activity the night before. Her legs felt extremely weak.
As she stood in front of the mirror brushing her teeth, she could not help but cry inwardly, ‘I really won’t challenge the dignity of an old man in the future!’
Mo Shenbai knew that Xu Youyou was exhausted so he specifically told the butler not to wake her up.
Breakfast had already been prepared, and it would be heated up for her whenever she wanted to eat.
As soon as Xu Youyou went downstairs, the butler asked someone to serve breakfast. Then, he asked, “Madam, since you’re having a late breakfast, should we delay lunch?”
Xu Youyou shook her head. “I won’t be home for lunch. There’s no need to prepare anything.”
The butler nodded. “Where are you going, Madam? I’ll tell Cang Ming to send you.”
“I’m going to visit my grandmother at the hospital.”
The butler said tactfully, “Then, I’ll prepare fruits and snacks for you to bring along. The Old Madam might like them.”
Xu Youyou nodded and did not refuse.
…
When Xu Youyou arrived at the hospital, Cheng Ying had just finished serving lunch to Old Madam Xu.
When Old Madam Xu saw Xu Youyou, she could not hide her joy at all.
Xu Youyou sat by the bed and held Old Madam Xu’s hand as she said, “Grandma, I miss you so much!”
Old Madam Xu gently poked Xu Youyou’s forehead and said, “Really? If I remember correctly, your summer vacation started a week ago, right?”
