Ning Qingxue heard Ye Mo call her Qingxue so casually while she was also holding Ye Mo’s arm. At that moment, she even doubted if she had really become Ye Mo’s wife. How did that feeling come so suddenly?
She remembered that the day when she wore pajamas for Li Mumei’s photo session, she seemed to be so immersed into the act; thinking about that day, Ning Qingxue quickly pulled out her arm from Ye Mo’s arm as her heart was still beating quickly. Each time she made physical contact with Ye Mo, she discovered that she was unable to retain that calm state and was even more astonished by the fact that she liked that soothing feeling.
Ye Mo seemed to have something on him that she wanted to pursue. It was like an indescribable feeling of serenity and longing, but it was a bit ethereal at the same time. That attracted her like a moth to a flame, so the only thing she could do was to constantly remind herself what sort of a person Ye Mo was.
Zhou Lei saw Ye Mo’s comfort and Ning Qingxue’s leaning on him, as well as her faint blushes on her face, which made her doubt herself even more. “Is Ning Qingxue really in love with Ye Mo and the two married each other due to love and not something else?”
“Let’s go.” Ye Mo saw Zhou Lei was still lost in thought and reminded her of the reality. He didn’t have any good impressions towards this woman who liked to invade other people’s privacy.
The three were each thinking of different things as they left the yard. In a place not far from their residence was a relatively large restaurant called Glamorous Cuisine and was a star restaurant. Ning Qingxue didn’t want to go too far, so she pointed at Glamorous Cuisine and said to Ye Mo: “Ye Mo, I think this Glamorous Cuisine looks pretty good, let’s go there.”
“No, the food there is too expensi—” Before Ye Mo finished his words, Ning Qingxue was already outraged.
“Ye Mo, why do you need so much money for? We would only spend at most 1000 dollars at this restaurant. You…” Ning Qingxue wasn’t someone who liked showing off, but Ye Mo kept 500,000 dollars and was being stingy with her schoolmate about going to a restaurant. Although she didn’t really like this schoolmate either, it was still a schoolmate, and she was still a member of the Ning Family; Ye Mo was bringing too much shame to her.
Zhou Lei looked at Ye Mo in surprise. It was her first time seeing someone so stingy over a meal. And this was in front of his own wife and her schoolmate. However, Ning Qingxue’s admiration of him didn’t seem to be fake.
Seeing that Ning Qingxue was still going to say something else, Ye Mo was angry, but he wasn’t someone with a narrow heart. He knew that if he got angry now, the show between him and Ning Qingxue would have been for nothing. He was going to leave Ning Hai soon, so there was no point in disputing a woman.
Thinking about this, he hurried to say: “Okay, have it your way. Let’s go here to eat today.” Although he said that, he was depressed in his heart, he only had 3000 dollars in his pockets, and this was money earned from him selling his blood. Although the blood would have been wasted even if he didn’t donate them, he still didn’t want to use the money he acquired from selling blood to invite a woman whom he didn’t like to dinner.
Ye Mo had made his decision; after a few days, he would leave Ning Hai immediately. As for Ning Qingxue’s matter, he had already helped out enough. He needed to find a stable place to plant his Silver Heart Grass. He already deeply understood that someone without a background like him would be meat on the chopping board in society if he didn’t have enough power.
The dinner was relatively pleasant. Although Zhou Lei didn’t get what she wanted, she could already tell that Ye Mo and Ning Qingxue’s expenditure views were quite different. But from how Ye Mo was so stingy with money, she was further assured that Ye Mo was really living life with Ning Qingxue. From how Ye Mo used cash and not a card to pay for the meal, she could tell Ye Mo really wasn’t living a wealthy life.
Ye Mo was the most unhappy. This meal cost him 3000 dollars, he even had to take out the 5’s and 10’s on him. If Ning Qingxue didn’t have to order the 2000 dollars bottle of wine, this meal wouldn’t cost that much. Although he drank most of the red wine, he was still unhappy.
He knew Ning Qingxue did this on purpose. She gave him a credit card whose account was frozen, and yet she was still so cocky. Ye Mo almost threw the card at her to tell her to get the money herself. No wonder they say the people that are hated are also pitiful at the same time. Wasn’t Ning Qingxue someone like that?
After the meal, Zhou Lei didn’t stay and instead chose to bid them farewell. Perhaps, it was because she saw Ye Mo using 5’s and 10’s to pay, but she wondered if he were showing her that he had no money or something like that.
When Ning Qingxue and Ye Mo went back, they weren’t as intimate as before. Ning Qingxue didn’t want to talk to Ye Mo. She felt that Ye Mo had made her lose face today. Although she didn’t really care about these things, Ye Mo paid with cash instead of his card, and even though she did intentionally order the red wine, but in the end, he drank it all by himself. Ye Mo didn’t want to talk either. This dinner cost him more than 3000 dollars. Now, he only had 20 dollars remaining in his pocket.
In the following days, if Ye Mo didn’t go out to find work, he wouldn’t even have money for food. Perhaps he really had to sell blood to get food, but it was impossible for him to do that in the long term; his situation wasn’t that bad. Although the price he was paid for selling blood was the same as everyone else, Ye Mo believed his blood had better quality than others. He felt he was losing out with this price.
Ye Mo’s dishes were getting simpler and simpler. Although Qingxue wasn’t fussy about food, she looked down on stingy people like Ye Mo. That night, Ye Mo carried his medical kit out. He didn’t think that he had to go out to the night market ahead of schedule since Ning Qingxue came. Originally, he thought that he didn’t need to do this anymore after curing the purple coral poison of the old man. But now, he walked on this path once again.
However, what made Ye Mo disappointed was that, even if he had his stall set up in the busy streets of Ning Du Walking Street for two days, he didn’t get even one person to do business with; instead, he was even kicked by the city management once. Ye Mo barely went to Ning Hai University. Firstly, he didn’t want to see Yun Bing. Secondly, there was nothing he could learn there anymore. He originally planned to give a few medicinal pills he made to Shi Xiu, but he had applied to leave for a week due to family issues.
Although Ning Qingxue basically hadn’t been talking to Ye Mo, she still saw what Ye Mo was doing. Her father had called her and told her not to worry. Even if he, Ning Zhongfei, were kicked out of the Ning Family, he would not sell his daughter, especially to that demon from the Song Family.
Her father’s words made Ning Qingxue feel more assured. Her parents already went to Beijing to settle things with the Ning Family. Two day after that, they would come to Ning Hai and take her away.
Ning Qingxue saw the pot Ye Mo left in the corridor to boil herbs, and her contempt towards Ye Mo gradually started to fade. What was the relationship between him and her? This was just a deal. She gave him 500,000 dollars, and that money was his. If he didn’t want to spend money, that was his problem. Why should she be disappointed in this type of person?
After thinking through this, Ning Qingxue seemed to feel better. Although he was very stingy, he still bought some vegetables home and cooked every day. Ye Mo carried his little case out again; Xu Wei still didn’t come back. She didn’t know whether or not if it was because Ye Mo and Xu Wei were living together that Ning Qingxue tried to avoid facing Xu Wei. As for what was her mentality, she didn’t know. Perhaps it was to avoid awkwardness.
Regardless of whether it was real or fake, she and Ye Mo were still husband and wife. The husband slept in the room of the woman next door. Even if they were fake couples, she didn’t want to face that woman. Thinking about how she would leave here the day after tomorrow and probably never come back for her life. There was an unknown yet faint melancholy that rose in her heart. She knew this wasn’t because of Ye Mo but because of other reasons. Ning Qingxue walked out of her room for the first time. Perhaps she also wanted to see the place where she had lived for more than 20 days looked like.
Ming Du street was probably the most popular place at Ning Du district at night, and Ning Qingxue had unknowingly walked here already. The place was filled with people, red lights, and green lights. There were all sorts of snacks and small tokens sold everywhere. There were also many small businesses and stalls. One stall had golden cakes that looked enticing and was steaming with air. Ning Qingxue who never ate roadside stall snacks couldn’t resist the temptation and bought one golden cake with two dollars. She bit down lightly; it was sticky and soft.
“Come and have a look at a recipe passed down from the ancestor! It can cure all sorts of diseases, headaches, fever, external and internal injuries, short-sightedness… There are only things you can’t think of but nothing I can’t cure!” This promoting almost made Ning Qingxue laugh. From the sounds of this person, he could cure anything.
Ning Qingxue subconsciously looked up at the person selling the fake medicine and was stunned. Wasn’t this Ye Mo? Although he wore shades and a duck shaped hat, Ning Qingxue could tell it was him from the first glance. Plus, there was that signature chest beside him. Ning Qingxue always didn’t know what was inside it, but now she did: it was a medical case.
Ning Qingxue sighed. Although 500,000 dollars wasn’t much for her, it should be quite a lot for Ye Mo. Yet he still wasn’t satisfied as he had to come out to cheat people and actually proclaimed that he could cure any disease? If he were so powerful, the world wouldn’t need hospitals anymore!
“City management is here!” someone called out. Many stall owners immediately started packing up their things and left. Ning Qingxue stared at Ye Mo, and as expected, Ye Mo packed up his things helplessly. However, he didn’t run away hastily like the other stall owners. Instead, he packed up his things slowly and left.
Although she didn’t get to see Ye Mo scrambling away, she still got to see Ye Mo leave dejectedly, and this gave Ning Qingxue a sense of satisfaction. “This is what you get for cheating people,” she thought to herself.
When Ning Qingxue returned to the yard, Ye Mo had already come back. He looked once at Ning Qingxue and didn’t say anything. Ning Qingxue would of course not bother to talk to him either. She was wondering whether she should tell Xu Wei what sort of person he was before she left.
His business didn’t succeed, and he was kicked away by city management. Ye Mo was already sick of the days in Ning Hai and wanted to leave. As for Ning Qingxue’s business, he had already helped her enough. He would say goodbye to her tomorrow and leave. He didn’t need to go to Ning Hai University, but he still had to leave a letter behind for Shi Xiu.
When Xu Wei had already gone to sleep, Ye Mo started to cultivate.
….
“Young master Wen, there is half an hour remaining before we arrive at Ning Hai. Where shall we go first?” A BMW was heading towards Ning Feng Highway at high speed while the driver was asking a youth that was younger than 30 in the back seat.
The youth had a pale face and a pair of eagle eyes, his face was rather long and his hair perfectly combed. Hearing the driver’s words, the youth just took out a cigarette while the big man sitting beside him quickly took out a lighter and lit up the cigarette for him.
“Ah Fa, did you finish the task I gave you?” the youth sucked on the cigarette and asked.
“Yes, young master Wen. I left no traces,” the bulky man replied.
The youth inhaled the cigarette once again and stayed silent for some time before continuing, “We came from He Feng just so that grandpa and the people of the Ning Family wouldn’t be suspicious. If we go according to our original plan and stay one night in Ning Hai, something might happen so we might as well just abduct that woman. This saves me from always thinking about her. I will let this b*tch know what regret truly is!” saying this, the initially calm youth was angered such that veins began to emerge from his clenched fist. He raised his hand and threw away the barely used cigarette.
The robust man called Ah Fa quickly picked it up and threw it out the window.
“That useless man is called Ye Mo right?” The youth gradually calmed down. Ever since the beginning, no one dared to reject him, Song Shaowen. He didn’t think a mere Ning Qingxue would dare to reject him, and not just that, but she actually got married to another man, and they were even living together. This was slapping him across his face and his pride. If Song Shaowen could endure something like that, he wouldn’t be Song Shaowen.
If it wasn’t for his grandfather who stopped him, he would’ve come to Ning Hai ages ago. This time, he changed routes at He Feng before coming back to Ning Hai.
“Yes, young master Wen, the useless man is called Ye Mo. The two did, in fact, sleep together; I saw some pictures on some websites, and they seemed to love each other a lot,” the driver hurriedly said.
Song Shaowen who had already calmed down immediately grew pale with rage again. He said coldly: “I will make this Ye Mo watch me and endure the torture when I show him how I sleep with that b*tch! Then… Ye Mo, right? We’ll take him away! Isn’t there a valley at Yan Ning highway? We’ll break his limbs and drop him from there. He’s too weak to fight over my women!”
…..
It was already 1 am, and Ye Mo finished one big cycle and 12 small cycles of cultivation. He wasn’t going to cultivate anymore. He was leaving tomorrow and wanted to find a place to sleep. The stone block next to the flower pots was where he usually slept after cultivation.
Just when Ye Mo laid down, a metal hook landed onto the wall as three figures quickly climbed over and jumped into the backyard. Although Song Shaowen had a pale face, his wall flipping movements were agile.
“This is where that useless trash Ye Mo lives right? Which room is he sleeping in with Ning Qingxue that b*tch?” The pale-faced Song Shaowen asked as soon as he dropped to the ground.
“This is where Ye Mo lives indeed, but he isn’t a useless trash!” a sudden voice was heard. Song Shaowen wasn’t able to react to the first half, but he immediately turned his body to face Ye Mo for the second half of the sentence. After some time, he was full of shock and asked: “Who are you?!”
At the same time, the people behind Song Shaowen also saw Ye Mo. They all looked at him in shock and were tense and alert. “I am Ye Mo. Do you want me or my wife?” Ye Mo said calmly.
“You are Ye Mo? Wang Chuan, Ah Fa, break his legs. I want to see how this useless trash is so different that he could make that bitch willing to sleep with hi—” Before Song Shaowen finished his sentence, he discovered that his wrist was held tightly by an iron-like palm.
“If you want to fight, that’s fine, but I will crush your wrist first. Try me if you don’t believe me.” Ye Mo didn’t want to fight here in case he alerted Xu Wei. He knew that these people probably came for Ning Qingxue, but Xu Wei was innocent.
Looking at Song Shaowen, Wang Chuan and Ah Fa immediately knew that their young master was in Ye Mo’s hands, so they all stopped their movements.
“Tell me, what’s your name, trash?” Ye Mo used a little strength on his hands, and Song Shaowen almost screamed out. Sweat quickly emerged on his forehead.
“I am Song Shaowen, from the Song Family of Beijing. I didn’t come here for you, I came here for Ning Qingxue. Release me immediately or your Ye Family… or you, Ye Mo will die nameless and shameful!” Song Shaowen originally wanted to say that he was going to do something to the Ye Family, but he realized that the Ye Family was also a member of the Five Great Families of Beijing, just like his own. They weren’t afraid of the Song Family, so he changed his words to Ye Mo.
“Oh, so that’s it. However, your family is just a pile of trash in my eyes, so I’m not concerned at all. Ning Qingxue is my wife, and you dare to come find her!? Are you deaf or are you blind?” Now, Ye Mo used some more strength on his hands, and Song Shaowen finally had to cry out in pain.
“Ye Mo, we can talk, there’s no need to fight,” Wang Chuan said seeing the situation was going in the wrong way.
“You drove here, right?” Ye Mo suddenly asked something completely irrelevant.
“Yes,” Wang Chuan replied helplessly as he didn’t understand why Ye Mo would suddenly ask something irrelevant. Ye Mo nodded: “In that case, we will discuss outside.” Ye Mo wanted to leave, and since these few people drove here, it would be the perfect opportunity to take him along; it would save him the cost of traveling.
Seeing Ye Mo take the initiative to go outside, Song Shaowen’s two henchmen were obviously willing to. They initially thought that they couldn’t fail this plan, but they would have never expected Ye Mo to be this strong. This was completely out of their expectations, and now, the matter had gone out of their control.
What took Song Shaowen and the other two by surprise was that Ye Mo actually released Song Shaowen’s wrist and just stared at the trio. Song Shaowen and his two henchmen looked at each other and nodded, thinking that Ye Mo really was a useless trash. His brain didn’t seem to be functioning properly.
The guy called Ah Fa first went over the wall and leaped out, then, Ye Mo also jumped over, with Song Shaowen and Wang Chuan closely following behind them.
Song Shaowen was prepared to tell the other two to attack as soon as he reached the other side of the wall; however, he didn’t even have the chance to land that the scene in front of them made them drop their jaws in shock.
