Chapter 644: Luo Ying’s Anger

Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter

Four people entered the room, joining the one already present. Ye Mo recognized one of the newcomers—Sister Ling, from whom he’d taken the Extreme Energy Stone. Lu Na had later identified her as her sister, Lu Lin. Theoretically, Lu Lin should have been punished by Northern Sand. Her presence, along with the group’s apparent camaraderie, puzzled him. Seeing Lu Lin, Ye Mo understood why Lu Na and her boyfriend had left Luo Yue—it was because of her sister.

Something felt wrong. These were undoubtedly Northern Sand members, but was the organization so easily swayed? The Extreme Energy Stone was invaluable; Lu Lin’s possession and loss of it shouldn’t have gone unpunished. However, now that he’d seen Lu Lin, Lu Na’s potential arrival was a possibility. He needed to keep an eye on them, preventing Lu Na from revealing any of Luo Yue’s security details, however minimal. He rose, saying to Luo Ying, “Wait here for me; I have some business to attend to. I’ll be back soon.”

Luo Ying nodded. “Go. I’ll wait here for you.” She understood his purpose and had faith in his abilities.

Ye Mo bid farewell to Wang Ying and Xiao Lei before leaving. To spy on the group, he needed to leave and return invisibly, anticipating Northern Sand’s surveillance.

“What is Ye Mo doing?” Xiao Lei asked.

Luo Ying smiled but didn’t answer; lying wasn't her forte.

“By the way, Luo Ying, where are you planning your wedding? Do you have a date yet?” Xiao Lei asked.

Luo Ying shook her head. “I don’t know yet; whenever Ye Mo decides.”

The other women exchanged glances. They admired Luo Ying’s beauty but considered her submissive. They marveled at Ye Mo’s ability to find such a woman, noting that nowadays wedding dates were usually a mutual decision.

Su Mei’s discontent grew. The more impressive Ye Mo seemed, the more uncomfortable she became. Interrupting their conversation, she asked, “Luo Ying, do you know about Ye Mo’s past?”

Luo Ying smiled. “Wang Ying already told me; I know everything.”

“No, I’m not talking about that. A hospital test showed Ye Mo was impotent.” Su Mei’s goal was to drive a wedge between Luo Ying and Ye Mo, seizing this opportunity in his absence.

Wang Ying’s expression changed. “Su Mei, why are you saying this? Ye Mo is our classmate.”

Xiao Lei, having previously investigated Ye Mo, was aware of the rumor but prioritized character over physical condition. Confused, she also looked at Su Mei, sensing animosity.

Luo Ying wasn't foolish. She'd sensed tension between Ye Mo and Su Mei, but Ye Mo hadn't mentioned it, and she'd remained polite. However, Su Mei’s backstabbing angered her. She knew Ye Mo’s capabilities intimately; Su Mei’s accusation about her husband was outrageous and shameless. Had Ye Mo not asked her to wait, she would have already left.

Coldly, she addressed Su Mei. “You don’t need to worry about my husband; that’s my business. Also, I don’t want to sit next to someone like you. Please move aside.”

Su Mei’s expression shifted. She hadn’t expected such a reaction from the gentle Luo Ying. She rose, pulling Wang Ying. “I’m leaving; are you coming?” She departed without waiting for a response.

Wang Ying helplessly addressed Luo Ying. “I’ll go check on her.” Despite disliking Su Mei’s behavior, she felt obligated to her friend.

Catching up with Su Mei, Wang Ying said, “Luo Ying is like a goddess. Why did you say that? You went too far.”

Su Mei sneered. “I’m doing this for her benefit. It’d be a waste if someone like her were tricked by Ye Mo, but now it seems she deserves it.”

“What’s wrong with Ye Mo? He seems really nice. I don’t understand why you hate him. Besides, he’s not ‘that’ anymore,” Wang Ying retorted, angry.

“He’s not? How do you know? Have you slept with him?” Su Mei’s temper flared.

Wang Ying bristled. “Don’t say that! Ye Mo is fine. His sister told me. It’s not like that; you need to calm down.”

Su Mei sneered. “Ye Ling is Ye Mo’s sister; how would she know? Who are you lying to?”

Wang Ying retorted, “Ye Ling’s dormmate, Tian He, told Ye Ling. Can that be fake?”

Su Mei produced her phone. “Wang Ying, I know you’re defending Ye Mo, but I happen to know Tian He. She’s in the same company as me. I’ll call her now so you can hear for yourself.”

Wang Ying was stunned by Su Mei’s intensity.

Su Mei’s call connected. “Tian He, it’s me, Su Mei. No, I just need to ask you a quick question about that guy, Ye Mo. Yes, his brother. I heard that after a hospital checkup, he was found to be—huh—you’ve heard about it too.”

Su Mei looked at Wang Ying, satisfied. “Yes, I heard others say the checkup was fake. What? Is it really fake? How do you know? What did that pervert do to you—Uh, I know. Don’t say that. How could I sleep with him! Um—I’m just asking. Big, I don’t like big.”

Wang Ying observed Su Mei’s deflated demeanor. “Su Mei, you’re not from a small family; don’t you know about family wars? Ye Mo was a sacrifice in one. Of course the checkup was fake. Look how happy his girlfriend Luo Ying is. Stop trying to change the facts; it’s true. Let’s go apologize.”

“I won’t apologize. Even if Ye Mo is fine, he doesn’t have a stable job. He doesn’t deserve her. It’s like a flower planted on cow dung, yet she deserves it,” Su Mei scoffed.

Wang Ying shook her head and walked towards Luo Ying.

…

Ye Mo entered the room invisibly, eavesdropping. Their conversation confirmed their Northern Sand affiliation. The man posing as him was Captain Liu; the woman was Lu Lin, and the man was Scorpion, the man who had been watching Ye Mo at the airport.

“Ye Mo and Luo Ying are here; is that intentional?” Captain Liu asked.

Scorpion shook his head. “Probably not. They coincidentally met Wang Ying and Su Mei at the door, and they brought them inside. It seems like he knows Wang Xu and they’re quite—”

“Young Master Yong, don’t be impulsive,” Captain Liu interrupted the light-skinned young man.

“That bastard broke my brother’s legs! Our Dai family’s enmity with him is as deep as the sea!” the young man roared.
