“She’s not related by blood.” Mo Weiyi muttered under her breath.
Words spoken carelessly can have significant consequences.
Mo Yaoxiong’s expression wavered.
As for Xu Jing, she also appeared surprised.
“Weiyi and I are heading to the hospital later.” A man’s deep voice suddenly rang out.
Mo Yaoxiong snapped back to reality, “To the hospital? Why?”
Xiao Yebai, holding his coffee casually, replied with indifference, “Zhiwei returns to Tongcheng tomorrow.”
So, that was it.
“Since she’s leaving tomorrow, it’s fitting for us to visit her at the hospital as her brother and sister-in-law.” Mo Yaoxiong said, turning to his daughter, “When we’re there, remember to speak politely. No more unnecessary tantrums, understood?”
Mo Weiyi had no intention of paying him any mind.
What kind of father, she thought, scolded her in front of others? Hmph.
She picked up her soy milk, engrossed in her own drink, apparently oblivious to him.
Seeing her like that, Mo Yaoxiong was about to reprimand her, but…
“So,” Xiao Yebai’s voice sounded again, “I’ll have Rong An check Miss Bing’s computer.”
Rong An?
Mo Weiyi’s bodyguard?
Qu Yunyao frowned, “But my computer seems to be virus-infected. It’s complex, and the script on it is crucial…”
A bodyguard, all brawn and no brain, what could he possibly do?
Xiao Yebai’s lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile, his downcast lashes concealing any hint of emotion.
Mo Yaoxiong chimed in matter-of-factly, “Letting Rong An take a look is a good idea. I had nearly forgotten that Rong An was a top-notch computer science major. Fixing computers should be a piece of cake for him, so don’t worry, Yunyao.”
Qu Yunyao:”…”
Seriously? What a coincidence?
A random bodyguard just happens to be a highly qualified computer science graduate?
But since Mo Yaoxiong had put forth this suggestion, she couldn’t really object.

After lunch, Qu Yunyao, followed by the mysterious, black-clad bodyguard, headed towards West Garden Villa.
They entered the living room.
“Wait here, I’ll go grab my computer from the bedroom.”
She quickly went into her room and returned gripping her laptop.
Seeing the bodyguard attempting to fix her computer by the coffee table, she asked, “Can you do it?”
“Yes.”
“The script on it is crucial. Be careful not to lose it.”
“Yes.”
“First try and fix it yourself. If you can’t, we’ll have my brother-in-law look at it, alright?”
“Yes.”
Qu Yunyao:”…”
Was he mute or deaf?
Could he only respond with a single word?
A while later, she heard the clatter of the keyboard. Unable to resist, she warned him, “Be careful. If you dare to lose my scripts, I’ll fire you!”
Rong An stopped what he was doing.
He looked up, meeting her gaze calmly.
Qu Yunyao was taken aback.
What did his expression mean?
The next second, he said, “Only the Princess can fire me. You…do not have that authority.”
Qu Yunyao, stunned, gaped at him: “You…”
But by the time she formulated a response, the man was already engrossed in his task again.
Qu Yunyao stood there, livid. Her teeth sunk into her lower lip, and her hands clenched into fists.
A dog is indeed the mirror of its owner!
He was merely a bodyguard from the Mo Family, how dare he show such insolence?
Before her anger could erupt again…
“It’s fixed.” Rong An stood up, finished.
Qu Yunyao was shocked.
So quickly?
She rushed over, bending down to operate the computer.
It was indeed fixed and, more importantly, her script was still there.
Looking up, she realized that she was alone in the living room.
The bodyguard…
Had he just walked out?
How condescending!
**
A ringtone echoed within the car.
Xiao Yebai glanced at the screen and answered the call, “Rong An.”
Sitting in the passenger seat, Mo Weiyi quickly turned her attention.
“Young Master Xiao, Miss Bing’s computer was indeed broken. It seems to be due to a virus from a website.”
“Hmm.”
After hanging up the call, Mo Weiyi shot a barrage of questions his way, “What happened, Xiaobai? Why did Rong An call you? Did Qu Yunyao cause more problems? Or is it a family matter?”
“No, it’s nothing.” Xiao Yebai focused on the road, “I asked him to drive to the hospital to pick you up later.”
“…Oh.”
**
Forty minutes later, at the hospital…
Mo Weiyi pushed open the door to the hospital room, seeing Xiao Zhiwei propped up in her hospital bed. The room was eerily empty, with Xiao Depeng and Zhang Liya nowhere in sight.
“Brother!”
Xiao Zhiwei straightened hurriedly. Her gaze held on Xiao Yebai for a moment before turning to Mo Weiyi, “Miss Mo.”
Mo Weiyi, dressed in a long, beige dress with a golden shawl draped over, her voluminous reddish-brown curls cascading freely, was the picture of elegance, beauty, and arrogance.
Once settled on the sofa, she turned to Xiao Zhiwei squarely, “Weren’t you going to apologize? Get on with it.”
A brief moment of discomfort flashed across Xiao Zhiwei’s face.
Her hands clenched and unclenched beneath the blanket before she finally spoke, “I’m sorry. I was wrong in the past. I hope that as my sister-in-law, you can show me mercy and not dwell on my past mistakes.”
Mo Weiyi tilted her head, fidgeting with her curls, “You’re Xiaobai’s sister, and I am your sister-in-law. Since you’ve said that, don’t worry, I’m not going to hold it against you.”
She concluded her statement with an innocent yet dazzling smile.
Xiao Zhiwei:”…”
She detested Mo Weiyi’s arrogant demeanor.
It was as though everyone had to be inferior to her, she was always at the top, dictating and intimidating…
Ruthless and domineering!
