After Mo Qijue threw Ye Jingshi into the car, the latter sat on the co-driver seat and said fumingly, “Let me down! How can you leave such a beautiful girl in a lurch at the police station? What’s more, I didn’t even manage to get her phone number!
“Who knows, she could have been my destined one? Are you going to be responsible if I were to lose a wife because of this?”
“…”
Mo Qijue quietly drove the car with a cold look on his face.
“Jue, you seem to know my girlfriend. Was there any bad blood between you two?”
Ye Jingshi saw the cold look on Mo Qijue’s handsome face and recalled that at the police station, Mo Qijue’s attitude towards Tong Jiumo had been pretty cold.
“Your girlfriend? Why was I not aware that you had the hobby of taking advantage of people and picking up people’s old shoes?”
After he passed the red traffic light, Mo Qijue increased the car speed.
“Old shoes? What do you mean?” Ye Jingshi was puzzled by his words. “She is youthful and cute, and you do not have the right to slander her! Are you jealous because I found a girlfriend, so you are defaming her? That isn’t nice, Jue. It is bad enough that you are single, yet now you still want to drag me down into the water and be single with you?”
Ye Jingshi shifted in his seat and paused before he said, “I am warning you. I liked her first, so don’t interfere with my business! Otherwise, we are friends no more.”
The plastic sisterhood of women did not exempt men as well.
It should be called paper brotherhood, once torn, it would break.
“She is called Tong Jiumo. She is the woman who caused the death of Wanqing,” said Mo Qijue in a deep voice with a cold face. “Are you sure you want to end our friendship because of a murderer? You know the consequences.”
The Ye family had many enterprises, which relied heavily on the Mo family.
“There are many with the same name. Are you sure she is that Tong Jiumo? That year, didn’t you… only see her at night? How are you so confident that it’s her?”
Once Ye Jingshi heard that the woman was related to Mo Qijue, he gained interest immediately.
Moreover, he and his other friends were now mostly curious about the woman whom Mo Qijue had imprisoned back then.
If she was really that Tong Jiumo, then wouldn’t he have to fight with Mo Qijue for the girl?
Ye Jingshi suddenly came to a realization and said outragedly, “Tch, no way! What do you mean by old shoes! She is not your ex-girlfriend and certainly not your ex-wife, mind your words!”
“Furthermore, you were the one who tarnished her reputation at that time! Because of you, she was thrown out of the Tong family and even had her engagement broken off!”
Ye Jingshi listed Mo Qijue’s past crimes.
“I cannot believe how you could harm such a beautiful and cute girl! You are so heartless!”
Tong Jiumo had been just a young girl, yet Mo Qijue had landed her in such a bad state.
“By not letting her pay for Wanqing’s life is already showing her mercy,” said Mo Qijue coldly.
Ye Jingshi’s heart chilled. “But you made her pay back a life. If it weren’t for her, would you still have such a cute child now? You are such a ruthless person, yet the heavens still rewarded you with such a cute child!”
Although he had not spent much time with Mo Lisi, whenever he saw that cute and well-behaved child, Ye Jingshi would feel that the heavens spoiled Mo Qijue too much.
Mo Qijue stopped his car at a roadside and commanded, “Get off my car!”
Ye Jingshi announced to Mo Qijue as he opened the car door, “I am formally announcing to you now that I am wooing Tong Jiumo!”
Before he could get down the car, he was pulled back in by Mo Qijue. When he turned his face, he received a punch from Mo Qijue.
“Damn it! Are you searching for trouble?” said Ye Jingshi to Mo Qijue after he received the punch. “If you have the guts, get down the car and fight me one on one!”
Mo Qijue had actually dared to sneak-attack him!
“Get off my car!” ordered Mo Qijue coldly.
He then threw a dazed Ye Jingshi off the car.
The car drove away in heaps of smoke even before the car door could even be closed properly.
Ye Jingshi, who was left behind, chased after the car and scolded, “Mo Qijue, don’t ever let me see you again!”
‘Stupid Mo Qijue!’
‘Tong Jiumo is not even his girlfriend, so why does he mean by being so jealous!?’
However, no matter what, it was a done deal that Ye Jingshi would court after Tong Jiumo!
