Chapter 21: Who To Sympathise With?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhu Ting’s family was not rich to begin with. Although her family did not favor sons over daughters, they could not provide her with much help.

The only good thing was that Zhu Ting only needed to support herself every month and did not need to send money to her family.

However, the capital was a big city and the level of consumption was very high. Besides money for paying the rent and supporting herself, there was almost nothing left in Zhu Ting’s salary.

Zhu Ting, who had enough of living a hard life, began to have devious ideas.

At this time, someone contacted her and gave her a complete plan. From how to approach Mo Xuan, to what kind of person she was after knowing Mo Xuan, to how to get to know Mo Ting through Mo Xuan later on, and then using Mo Xuan as a stepping stone… to become the wife of Mo Ting in one leap.

In the plan, she had indeed seen Mo Xuan as a complete tool.

Mo Xuan was truly miserable.

After hearing Zhu Ting’s confession, Chi Xiao frowned slightly. Zhu Ting accidentally met Chi Xiao’s face. She paused for a moment and silently averted her eyes.

“How can this person be so sure that you’re the sort of man who would get involved with his cousin’s girlfriend?”

Mo Ting’s movements froze as well. His expression was slightly distorted. “Of course I won’t.”

Chi Xiao comforted him, “Yes, of course you’re not that kind of person.”

The two of them didn’t say anything out of the ordinary, there weren’t even any intimate actions. However, the atmosphere in the room made Zhu Ting feel that she was really unnecessary. Sitting here, she felt as if she was a third wheel.

“How do you usually communicate?”

Zhu Ting, who was still thinking that she might be a third wheel, reacted after hearing these words. After a while, she said, “We usually call each other, but now that number has become an empty number.”

Chi Xiao took Zhu Ting’s phone and called Jin Mao.

Jin Mao, who had long been prepared, immediately took action. Although the number had been canceled, at least the previous actions could still be found.

Not long after, Jin Mao said, “Boss, the last time this number was active was at the Mo family’s company.”

After a pause, Jin Mao said, “It seems that the person on the other side of this number is the same person who called Mo Xuan.”

Chi Xiao relayed Jin Mao’s results to Mo Ting, and Mo Ting had a complicated expression on his face.

Chi Xiao looked at Zhu Ting, who didn’t know what was going on, and a trace of tenderness rose in her heart. She didn’t know whether to say that this girl had been completely taken advantage of, or that Mo Xuan was actually the one who was in a worse state.

But speaking of which, these two people weren’t actually innocent.

If they didn’t have any ulterior motives, who could force them?

Since she couldn’t find the person behind the scenes through the phone, Chi Xiao planned to ruin this person’s scheme. She flipped through her phone and called Mo Xuan.

“Alright, Mo Xuan, I’ve made an appointment. I’ll leave the rest to you.”

Chi Xiao stood up and stretched her body. Her bones creaked and she left with a light smile. She was very relieved to leave Zhu Ting and the powerless Mo Ting together.

Mo Xuan followed Chi Xiao’s words and returned to the old mansion. When he saw Zhu Ting, his expression was complicated. It was hard to tell if he was happy or angry.

Before Mo Xuan could react, he saw Mo Ting first. The half-raised expression on his face disappeared and he returned to his original arrogance and unwillingness. He sneered and asked, “You’re looking for me? What’s the matter?”

Mo Ting waved his hand, and Zhu Ting flipped her phone to the call log interface and sent it to Mo Xuan.

Mo Xuan snickered and took it. “What? You’re showing me who you conspired with to set me up?”

“No… but kind of.” Zhu Ting’s expression was obviously conflicted.

After a while, Mo Ting continued, “I won’t get involved in the matter between Zhu Ting and you, but aren’t you a little stupid to listen to outsiders?”

Blinking his eyes, Mo Xuan didn’t understand what Mo Ting meant.

Mo Ting simply told Mo Xuan about the location of the person behind the scenes in Zhu Ting’s phone call and the same location of Mo Xuan’s phone call.

Although compared to Mo Ting, Mo Xuan was a lot less scheming, but he was still a smart person. Hearing Mo Ting’s words, Mo Xuan’s expression became absent-minded.

Very soon, Mo Xuan reacted and asked, “Someone schemed against me behind my back?”

He then faced Zhu Ting. “From the moment you approached me?”

Zhu Ting paused for a moment before nodding.

To be honest, it wasn’t that Zhu Ting had no feelings at all for Mo Xuan. It was just that compared to feelings, Zhu Ting wanted money more. In the past, when she knew that there was a better choice, she would naturally work hard for Mo Ting.

But now…

Zhu Ting recalled Chi Xiao’s imposing manner and suddenly shivered. Forget it, forget it, she didn’t have such a fate.

What could be more frustrating for Mo Xuan than being admitted by a woman that she didn’t think highly of him and schemed against him from the start?

Mo Xuan took a few steps back and fell straight onto the bed. He looked like he was in a trance.

Seeing this, Mo Ting frowned and raised his leg to kick Mo Xuan. When Mo Xuan looked over in confusion, Mo Ting said, “That’s my bed. Don’t sit on it.”

Mo Xuan: “…” he was already so sad.. Shouldn’t he console him?
