Chapter 700: What To Do
Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter
Yu Yuyan wasn’t old, but her heart was cold; a stranger’s life meant nothing to her. She was casually prepared to hand his life over to Liao Wei as punishment.
“You b*tch! Give me the Shang Qing Mountain card back! It’s the Liao family’s item. I don’t care who you gave it to, give it back at once!” Liao Wei’s voice shook with anger.
Yu Yuyan said shakily, “Brother Liao, I already gave the card to Shang Qing Mountain. If you want me to take it back, I will.”
“You—you—” Liao Wei almost fainted again. Getting the card back from Shang Qing Mountain was impossible. If Yu Yuyan asked for it, the entire Liao family would suffer.
Ye Mo suddenly felt a strong disgust for this woman. She reminded him of the Dongfang brothers.
“I will annihilate the Yu family! You—!” Liao Wei’s rage was uncontrolled.
Yu Yuyan sneered but didn’t reply. The other Yu family members remained calm.
Liao Wei’s guard said, “The Yu family has a Shang Qing Mountain disciple now. Young Master, let’s go back and think of another way to make them pay.”
Ye Mo didn’t understand why Yu Yuyan had done this. She’d lost face as a woman. Did that not matter here?
As if understanding his guard, Liao Wei realized he couldn’t do anything to Yu Yuyan. He remembered Ye Mo, the main culprit.
“Liao Shan, break that Mo guy’s legs,” Liao Wei redirected his anger.
Mu Xiaoyun was about to kneel and beg for her husband’s life.
“Hmmm.” Mu Xiaoyun caught Liao Wei’s attention. She was much prettier than Yu Yuyan. Despite her coarse clothes, beside Yu Yuyan, she seemed like a noblewoman.
Liao Wei’s eyes fixed on Mu Xiaoyun. He stared for a long time before reacting, his anger subsiding.
“Okay, but you need to come with me.” Liao Wei felt increasingly drawn to Mu Xiaoyun. Compared to her, Yu Yuyan was nothing.
“Huh—no.” Mu Xiaoyun worried. She’d hidden her beauty, avoiding trouble. Now, problems arose.
Mu Xiaoyun subconsciously grabbed Ye Mo’s sleeve.
Liao Wei’s expression darkened. “If you stay with this ugly and poor husband, you’ll never enjoy life. Our Liao family is prominent in Lian Hua City. I won’t treat you poorly. If you follow me, you can enjoy my wealth. However, if you don’t want to come, I will still take you away and kill your husband.”
Though Yu Yuyan planned to break this marriage, she felt uneasy. He cared about her sleeping with another man, but not in Mo Ying’s wife’s case. Mu Xiaoyun had slept with Mo Ying every day—why didn’t he care? Yu Yuyan looked at Mu Xiaoyun, realizing her beauty surpassed even her own.
That was it. Yu Yuyan’s expression fell, then returned to normal. She sniffed, “Brother Liao, Mo Ying is our servant. You can take his wife! Consider it compensation.”
“Hahaha! Yuyan Martial Sister, I arrived a few days late. What is the compensation?” A young, handsome man carrying a long sword entered. Ye Mo saw ‘Shang Qing’ embroidered on his clothes.
Seeing this man, Yu Yuyan’s face lit up. She rushed to him, calling, “Martial Brother Guan!”
He seemed unconcerned with the others, approaching her. “Martial Sister Yuyan, how was the trick I taught you?”
“Thank you, Martial Brother Guan,” Yu Yuyan said, her eyes full of love.
Unbeknownst to them, Ye Mo overheard. He realized Martial Brother Guan desired Martial Sister Yuyan. They’d planned to force Liao Wei to forfeit the marriage.
“It’s Martial Brother Guan from Shang Qing!” Even Liao Wei’s ego faltered.
Ye Mo smiled. “Everyone, although you saw me sleeping naked with Yuyan, you can’t blame me.”
Everyone stared. Ye Mo continued, “To be honest, Yuyan is indebted to me. I don’t blame her. When she was pregnant in Hang Shui, despite not knowing the father, I helped her get an abortion. Afterward, she slept with me for a while. Yuyan, I paid you. I gave you all the money I earned. Although it was only a little over a month, I didn’t blame you. I have something to tell the other businessmen.”
Yu Yuyan’s face turned green. Her lips trembled, anger choking her. How could she not be furious with Ye Mo’s revelations?
Martial Brother Guan sneered and left. Liao Wei’s expression worsened. He hadn’t expected his fiancée to have slept with Ye Mo and had an abortion.
Everyone was shocked.
“Let’s go, Xiaoyun.” Ye Mo left quickly.
“Quick, quick! Don’t let that woman get away. Lian Shan, bring her back!” Liao Wei reacted.
Yu Yuyan’s face was pale. She’d been publicly shamed in front of Martial Brother Guan. She hadn’t expected to be tricked by Ye Mo.
…
Ye Mo quickly took Mu Xiaoyun out of Ci Xi Town. He wouldn’t stay at the Yu family; he’d have to slaughter people, and that wasn’t wise yet. He knew Liao Wei would chase them.
“Where do you want to go?” Ye Mo asked.
“Mo Babe, do you still have money?” Mu Xiaoyun hesitated.
Ye Mo nodded. “I have a lot of gold coins. Do you need some?” He planned to exchange some gold for coins.
Mu Xiaoyun said quickly, “No. When Mother died, she owed people money. I want to pay it back and then leave Huang Ping with you. I’ll go wherever you go.”
Returning to Huang Ping would be fine; he’d kill anyone who chased them. But Mu Xiaoyun’s presence was inconvenient. He wasn’t her husband.
“Um—Xiaoyun, my name is tarnished. I even had an affair with Yu Yuyan, you’re still willing to go with me?” Ye Mo asked helplessly.
Mu Xiaoyun nodded. “Yes, you’re my husband. Where will I go if I don’t go with you? I know that young miss is lying. What’s more, even if she wasn’t, what’s that got to do with you? She’s the one being a slut.”
Ye Mo was speechless. What logic was this? What was he to do? Leave secretly?
