The rain outside the car stopped suddenly. The thunderstorm came and went quickly.
Mo Chenyan didn’t answer her question directly. His gaze passed through the windshield and landed somewhere in front.
“Even if you go to work at night, you won’t be able to make up that money in a short time. You should be very clear that your sister’s surgery cannot be delayed. One month is the latest deadline, but the earlier the surgery, the better.”
Ye Banxia seemed to understand what he meant.
This man wouldn’t be telling this for no reason. He even knew that the hospital had given her a month. If she was right, he could even help her. But what could he get from her?
“And so…?”
“Now,” Mo Chenyan snuffed the cigarette butt and fixed his eyes on her, “I lack a woman.”
Ye Banxia’s pupils trembled sharply.
Lacking a woman…
She wasn’t a little girl who was ignorant about the world. Naturally, she understood and wouldn’t pretend to not understand his meaning. Almost subconsciously, her hand landed on the car door and she clenched it tightly, her fingers almost turning white.
“Young Master Mo can have many beauties with just one word, how could you have a shortage of women?”
“Not everyone is eligible to be Madam Mo.”
His tone was light as if he were recounting an insignificant matter.
Ye Banxia’s back stiffened. The word “Madam Mo” landed on her heart like a drum, shocking her.
Why was it Madam Mo?
That sentence… Did that mean that he was lacking a woman and was trying to find a wife?
Ye Banxia swallowed her saliva and barely managed to calm down her disturbed mood.
“Young Master Mo, we’ve only met for the first time.” She reminded him. “In that case, there should be many people who meet your requirements…”
“It’s up to me whether they meet the requirements. You just have to answer me if you’re willing.”
Ye Banxia was certainly unwilling.
It didn’t matter how good and rich Mo Chenyan was, how good his temperament was, how he was the powerful descendant of the prestigious Mo family, and how he met the ideals of all the women’s dream lover… She used to see him on the TV and in the magazine, and it was their first official meeting today. So how could she possibly be willing to marry a man whom she had just met for the first time?
Mo Chenyan was not in a hurry and was calmly waiting for her answer. He tapped his long knuckles on the steering wheel twice silently.
After a few seconds of silence, Ye Banxia slowly said, “Young Master Mo, thank you for your kindness, but I’ll figure it out by myself.”
There was still a month left. As long as the surgery costs were gathered within one month…
Unexpectedly, Mo Chenyan said nothing and only nodded.
When Ye Banxia saw that he agreed so simply, she almost thought that what he said just now was just a joke.
Slightly relieved, she opened the door and said before leaving, “Thank you for today, Young Master Mo. I’ll take my leave.”
She left his suit in the car and got out.
Mo Chenyan didn’t stop her this time. He watched her slim back drift away, his dark eyes becoming more and more unpredictable.
…
Just after it rained, the air was exceptionally fresh.
Ye Banxia walked on the street for a long time with her high heels. Then, she remembered that she had left too fast and had forgotten to ask the manager for leave.
A hint of annoyance passed between her eyebrows. She had skipped work on her first day, so she felt like it was likely she would lose her job.
Subconsciously, she reached out to touch her mobile phone, but the hand on the side of her body touched the soft cloth of the skirt, and Ye Banxia realized something was wrong. Not only did she not ask for leave, but she also hadn’t changed her clothes nor taken her things.
Mo Chenyan had even said that she was penniless, so why hadn’t she thought of going back and getting her stuff?
Li Hanchuan…
Unexpectedly, a pain passed through my heart.
Ye Banxia exhaled and took a taxi back to Ling Nian’s apartment. Then, she borrowed the driver’s phone to get Ling Nian to come down and pay for her.
“Banxia, why did you come back like this?”
Ling Nian knew that Banxia had gone out to work tonight. She knew very well how important Hanyan was in Banxia’s heart. So when she had found out about the situation, she couldn’t find a reason to stop her.
Overnight, the family had gone bankrupt. The boyfriend whom she had been together with for two years suddenly got intimate with her sister, and Hanyan, who had been lying in the hospital for a year, was suddenly discovered to have a tumor in her brain and had to have surgery in one month…
All the shocks had come so suddenly, pressing down on this woman who had never even suffered before.
Ling Nian pitied her, but even if she took out all of her money, it wouldn’t be able to cover half of the operation.
“I’ll talk to you about this later,” Ye Banxia said in a rush. “Lend me my cell phone first.”
After disappearing for such a long time, she must ask for leave from the manager first. Otherwise, although she might have her salary deducted, if she was fired, it would be over.
She dialed the phone and no one answered even after several beats. Ye Banxia’s heart was beating fast and her delicate eyebrows were knitted tightly. Ling Nian looked at her from the side and couldn’t help but swallow nervously.
Finally, when she was about to hang up, a response finally came.
“Hello, who is this?”
“Hello manager, it’s me, Ye Banxia.” The finger joints that she held the mobile phone with turned white. “Tonight…”
There was a chuckle that sounded immediately over the phone. “Oh, it’s Ms. Ye.”
Ms… Ye?
Ye Banxia frowned.
The person on the other end continued talking in obvious concern, “I know that you’re not feeling well today. Don’t worry, Young Master Mo has already asked for leave for you. You can rest at home and I will send someone to bring your things over later. If you’re still not feeling well tomorrow, you don’t have to come either. Just rest well.”
Ye Banxia then came back to her senses and quickly said, “No, no… I will definitely come tomorrow night. Thank you, manager.”
She hung up the phone and went upstairs with Ling Nian. She was silent in the elevator and didn’t speak, so Ling Nian didn’t ask much either.
The structure of the apartment was very simple, but the gentle lights made it feel warm and homely.
Before the Ye family’s bankruptcy, Ye Banxia would also come here for a day or two, but now that she was here, her mood was completely different. She obviously had a father, but she could only stay elsewhere…
Ling Nian took a coat from her luggage and walked over to her, covering her with worry in her eyes.
“Banxia, did someone bully you on your first day of work?”
Bully?
Han Feng, a noble son, was frequently seen at these night scenes. Li Hanchuan also wanted to give her money. So how could it be considered bullying her?
She smiled slightly. “It’s nothing.” She didn’t want Ling Nian to worry. “I was just feeling a little unwell, so I left early.”
Ling Nian stared at her for a while, then reached out and felt her forehead, frowning even deeper.
“Is it because of Li Hanchuan?”
Her tone was subdued with anger and a little distress.
