Chapter 1027: Chapter 1027: The Return of an Old Friend, Evening Banquet Upheaval (7) Chapter 1027: Chapter 1027: The Return of an Old Friend, Evening Banquet Upheaval (7) The person on the other end of the phone didn’t reply for a long time, prompting Su Hongxing’s worry about Mo Li. “Mo Li, are you alright?”

Mo Li calmed his intense emotions and exhaled softly. “I’m fine, just too happy. I hadn’t expected my mom to still be alive, and she’s doing well, that’s enough for me.”

Back then, he felt that Mo Jianrong had betrayed his mother and their family, and he even thought his mother had died. Now knowing that his mother was still alive, what could be more joyful?

“From the details of how Ye Zheng interacts with your mother, Ye Zheng treats your mother well. Your mother hasn’t come looking for you probably because she’s afraid of disturbing your life, right? After all, the past is the past, don’t take it to heart,” Su Hongxing consoled Mo Li.

She empathized deeply with Mo Li, understanding his complex feelings. On one hand, he was happy seeing his mother well, yet on the other, saddened by her not recognizing him.

“Su, you don’t need to worry about me; I am truly happy for my mom. She is the best person in the world, really.” Mo Li smiled, “I won’t keep you any longer, Ye Qilan might get jealous seeing us chat.”

Su Hongxing said goodbye to Mo Li with a smile before hanging up. Turning around, she saw Ye Qilan staring intently at her back, then pretending as if nothing had happened.

This man’s heart was smaller than a needle’s eye. Perhaps any man who came close to her could be considered a rival in his imagination.

Ye Zheng was instructing the public relations team to handle the new online articles when Lin Zhi walked over in her pajamas.

Seeing Lin Zhi, his gaze dimmed; he pulled her to sit beside him. “You’ve lost weight again; don’t you eat regularly?”

He touched Lin Zhi’s face, which felt a bit cold, and hurriedly fetched a coat to wrap around her.

Lin Zhi leaned against his chest, glancing at the tablet in his hands. Seeing the gossip online, she chuckled, “You’re worried about my matters again. Honey, I realize I’ve always been a burden to you. If it weren’t for my insistence on returning to Taicheng, you probably would never have to endure such slander.”

“You are my wife, and we are one. Why talk such nonsense?” Ye Zheng hugged Lin Zhi tightly, “You don’t know how grateful I am that I saved you.”

If it hadn’t been for Mo Jianrong’s letting go, how could he have possibly gotten Lin Zhi?

“You’ve done so much for me; I too, want to do some things for you,” Lin Zhi leaned in Ye Zheng’s arms, her eyes faintly gleaming. “Let me handle this matter; I’ll meet with Lan Lin.”

Back then, because she had Ye Zheng, she didn’t bother with Lan Lin. Lan Lin thought Mo Jianrong was a good catch, so she let Lan Lin have him; she didn’t cherish a man who couldn’t stay faithful in a marriage.

Since she chose to return to Taicheng, she wouldn’t let Lan Lin walk over her again.

Some old scores needed to be settled!

“I don’t want you worrying about such trivial matters, nor do I like you dealing with people from your past,” Ye Zheng made no attempt to hide his possessiveness over Lin Zhi.

He would not forget that in Taicheng, not only was there Lin Zhi’s ex-husband but also Lin Zhi’s son. Her son, in fact, wasn’t much younger than him.

Lin Zhi had married Mo Jianrong at a young age and given birth to Mo Li for Mo Jianrong at twenty. Though he claimed not to care about the past, Mo Li’s existence constantly reminded him that Lin Zhi once fully belonged to another man and had even borne that man a child.
