CHAPTER 280: CHAPTER 280: HOW HANDSOME IS HE

Chu Hong turned to Mo Siyu to claim credit: "What do you say, should you treat me to a meal?"

This time, he specifically sent someone to investigate, digging up all the dirt on Wu Xinming.

"Yipin Inn." Mo Siyu pulled Chu Hong off to eat at Yipin Inn.

Yipin Inn, to stay closer to Mo Siyu, Chu Hong even opened one in Wangjiang County.

They ordered a few dishes, and as the two men drank together, Chu Hong felt more and more indignant, "Mo Siyu, am I working for nothing here?"

Mo Siyu raised an eyebrow, his lips curling into a faint smile as he looked at the lights outside the window sprinkling down, adorning the pond full of lotus flowers, suddenly recalling the time he brought Tang Yue here for a meal.

Chu Hong urged Mo Siyu to drink, intending to get him drunk, but in the end, he got himself dizzy instead, without managing to intoxicate Mo Siyu, who became sharper with each drink.

Wu Family.

Wu Xinming was already being ostracized by people at school because of his unclear relationships with several women. When he returned home, creditors came calling for debts.

When he was in Shenzhen, he had to move to this small place in Wangjiang County with his mother because of the massive debts he had racked up. He thought life was going to be pleasant, but then the creditors showed up.

Not only did they smash up the rented house, but they also threatened to cripple Wu Xinming if they weren’t paid back.

The arrival of the creditor was bad enough, but then a middle-aged woman also showed up.

That middle-aged woman was the mother of the girl Wu Xinming had impregnated, leading him to owe a substantial amount of money to settle the matter. Upon seeing the woman, Wu Xinming was so angry that he almost spat blood, losing all gentlemanly decorum as he quarreled with her.

Muffled words like "child" and "money" could be faintly heard.

At that moment, some classmates from school happened to pass by and saw the whole thing clearly. Those who still had doubts about Wu Xinming being involved with multiple women and even with a woman in her forties now believed it.

Wu Xinming became as despised as a rat crossing the street; even though his grades were good, his moral character was simply too poor to be praised.

Later on, someone ended up tipping off Wu Xinming’s desired university about the scandal. As a result, Wu Xinming never received his university admission notice, his dream of college shattered, and he spent his days wretchedly harassed by creditors to repay his debts.

When Tang Yue learned about these matters, she vaguely felt they were related to Mo Siyu. Since the day Mo Siyu drove her home, he had been busy, and she too was preoccupied with taking graduation photos with classmates and thanking the teachers, so she hadn’t had time to see Mo Siyu.

Finally, when she had some free time and went to see Mo Siyu, the moment she saw him, she almost instantly understood; she didn’t need to ask to know that he had a hand in this.

Indeed, with Mo Siyu’s temperament, how could he have settled the matter with Wu Xinming, who had bullied her, by merely insinuating Wu Xinming was a dog?

"Xiao Yue, what are you sitting there grinning to yourself for?" Mo Siyu tapped her forehead gently, surprised to see her smiling foolishly when they met.

"It was you who did it, wasn’t it, with Wu Xinming’s case?" Tang Yue couldn’t help but seek confirmation, chuckling as she spoke: "I never knew before just how scummy Wu Xinming was, doing so many shameless things. Such a person should have been exposed long ago."

"Who is Wu Xinming?" Mo Siyu raised an eyebrow.

Tang Yue’s smile froze on her face.

Mo Siyu took the opportunity to give her a peck and said, "How dare anyone bully my little fairy, I merely exposed the things he did in the past. There’s no need to thank me so much. Also, in the future, do not let the names of such people come out of your mouth. Don’t dirty it."

As Mo Siyu spoke, his gaze fell on Tang Yue’s lips, under the pretense of: Let me wipe your mouth for you!

After a while, Tang Yue glared at him fiercely and sat down across from Mo Siyu. He was not about to miss any chance to take advantage of her. Well, although this also meant Mo Siyu was very interested in her, this was still a restaurant, and even though it was a private room, who knew whether a waiter might suddenly barge in.

If someone really did barge in suddenly, how embarrassing it would be to be seen in this scene.

"Xiao Yue, you’ve decided on Shangjinghua University, right?" Mo Siyu asked again.

Tang Yue nodded, not understanding why he asked.

Mo Siyu’s lips curled into a smile and said, "I’m planning to apply for family housing."

"Ah..." Tang Yue looked at him blankly.

Mo Siyu extended his arm and gently grazed her nose. He loved being close to her in various ways. In the past, he found women annoying and troublesome, and he disliked having them too close to him.

But when it’s Tang Yue across from him, this situation has to be changed dramatically. He seized every opportunity to be close to her, harboring the feeling of wanting to hold her in his arms and kiss her all the time. It felt good, and he was even greedily longing for more.

Tang Yue’s angry, happy, and confused expressions, in his eyes, were all so adorable and beautiful, attracting his gaze. He said, "With my position, I could have applied for family housing a long time ago, but since I wasn’t married, I let it go to others. This time, the car team has built new family housing, and I’ve applied for a one. It’s a two-bedroom and one-living room apartment. When the time comes, you can come to the car team to see me every weekend."

Mo Siyu looked at her expectantly. He, who used to hope for busy days, now also looked forward to weekends.

"I won’t come," Tang Yue refused. "Even if we’re engaged, living together before marriage doesn’t look good, does it?"

Tang Yue spoke with all seriousness.

Mo Siyu pursed his lips and said, "Then I’ll come to the university to find you and let everyone know you have a fiancé."

"Don’t," Tang Yue hurriedly shook her head when she heard this. "No, that’s not ok."

Mo Siyu looked at her sternly, his dark eyes full of an impending storm.

"Well, nobody else has a fiancé, and if I’m the only one with a fiancé, wouldn’t that be too special?" Tang Yue explained. Her eyes rolled slyly as she raised a big smile and said, "Besides, my fiancé is so handsome. What if someone else seduces him away? Where would I find such a handsome fiancé?"

Mo Siyu’s mood instantly cleared, pleased by Tang Yue’s words. He smiled and asked, "How handsome?"

"Um," Tang Yue tilted her head to think, made a very big gesture with her hands in front of her, and said, "This handsome."

Mo Siyu responded with a stern face, "I’m not an object."

"Hahaha~" Tang Yue burst into laughter.

After finishing their meal, Mo Siyu reluctantly walked Tang Yue home, counting down in his heart that there were seven days left until their engagement. Normally, seven days would fly by in an instant, but why did these seven days feel like years?

"In the next few days, I won’t come to see you," Tang Yue had just finished speaking when Mo Siyu’s unwilling gaze swept over her, and Tang Yue quickly consoled him, "I still have to work a bit harder on the clothes I am making for you and Aunt Mo."
