My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day-Chapter 860 - : 860, "Going to Kyoto 3" Mo Weiyi, you really are stupid
Chapter 860: 860, “Going to Kyoto 3” Mo Weiyi, you really are stupid
Ruan Qiyang stepped forward, “Tell me, how much money do you want?”
Mo Weiyi looked at her with surprise, “I… I’m not here to ask you for money…”
“Stop playing dumb with me!” Ruan Qiyang pressed her voice down, fearful of being overheard, “Just name your price, and if it’s reasonable, I’ll transfer the money to you immediately, but you are not allowed to come looking for me ever again! Do you hear me!”
Mo Weiyi clenched her fists and said again, “I’m not here for the money.”
“If not for money, then what do you want from me?” Ruan Qiyang was utterly incredulous, “I can’t believe you even managed to sneak into tonight’s banquet.”
She stared at Mo Weiyi.
No makeup, no styling, dressed very simply, not even wearing high heels, let alone any expensive jewelry.
Tonight’s charity dinner was a gathering organized by the most renowned business magnate of Kyoto, Ming Jinmo.
And originally, the Fang Family had not received an invitation.
But somehow, in the afternoon, Fang Yuliang suddenly called her, saying that the old Master Fang personally insisted that they must come to show their support tonight.
While she didn’t know much about Fang Yuliang’s work, she was aware that in recent years in Kyoto, the name Ming Jinmo had emerged out of nowhere and created a sensation.
Not originally from Kyoto, with no so-called background, yet he had leapt to become the youngest mogul in the Kyoto business circle and even established the nationally influential JS Group.
Later on, she learned that he had extremely close ties with many of Kyoto’s elite bureaucratic families.
In Kyoto, people are classified into ranks.
The Fang Family, being a literati family, might still count as a leader in the entertainment circle, but when thrown into the whole of Kyoto, they couldn’t compare at all with those well-backed bureaucratic families, at best they could be considered as “second-tier.”
As for those official bureaucratic families, they were truly the ones at the pinnacle of the pyramid.
Who wouldn’t want to seek shade under a large tree?
In Kyoto, having money and power wasn’t enough, the truly influential were the ones who had authority.
So tonight, Fang Yuliang came with the intention of getting to know Ming Jinmo.
As his wife, Ruan Qiyang naturally accompanied him, but she hadn’t expected…
“How do you know Ming Jinmo?” Ruan Qiyang asked once more.
Ming Jinmo?
The so-called Sixth Young Master of the Ming Family?
Huo Jingshen’s “Uncle Six”?
Mo Weiyi said, “I don’t know him.”
“Really?” Ruan Qiyang felt a sigh of relief.
Indeed.
If even the Fang Family had difficulty linking up with Ming Jinmo, the only connection Mo Weiyi might have with Ming Jinmo was probably just that they were both from Nancheng…
Just now, it was also an assistant who had brought her here, Ming Jinmo himself had not shown up.
If they were really closely related, how could it be just an assistant welcoming her?
Ruan Qiyang immediately concluded in her mind, “If so, why do you keep coming to find me time and again?”
Mo Weiyi retorted, “Haven’t you ever thought about coming to find me?”
“Why should I come to find you?” Ruan Qiyang asked sharply in return.
Mo Weiyi said, “I am your daughter, haven’t you… thought about me at all these past twenty years?”
Ruan Qiyang outright laughed, “You are just a bastard I was forced to have. I didn’t want to give birth to you at all, if it weren’t for…”
She stopped herself.
“But fortunately, he died, so I discarded you as well…”
“You said he died?” Mo Weiyi widened her eyes, “Who are you talking about?”
“He was just a scumbag!” Ruan Qiyang’s expression twisted into a grimace, “With his death, I could escape from that miserable past life and start anew in Kyoto, having a completely new life! You see now how well I’m living, why should I go looking for you? Why should I recall that filthy and dark past!”
Ruan Qiyang’s voice was charged with emotion, “Do you know how hard I worked to break away from that previous life of poverty? What I have now, I have gained through my own efforts, everything I have fought for myself! What right do you have to seek me out now? Do you still expect me to acknowledge you? Impossible, absolutely impossible! I will never acknowledge you!”
Her hysterical voice echoed in the night garden for a long time…
Until the surroundings were completely quiet again.
Mo Weiyi stared at her, her face pale and her eyes bloodshot.
She had to fiercely control herself to prevent her tears of weakness from falling.
After what felt like an eternity, Mo Weiyi finally heard her own voice say, “I didn’t mean to disrupt your life…”
“Then why did you come looking for me?” Ruan Qiyang continued to query sharply.
Mo Weiyi clenched her fingers, “I just found out about my origins, so I wanted to know what kind of people my biological parents are, why they abandoned me…”
“Now you know,” Ruan Qiyang interrupted without any politeness.
“Yes.” Mo Weiyi nodded, “I know now.”
She knew her origins now.
She also knew that she was an unwanted child.
How laughable.
When she first learned about her origins, although she appeared calm on the surface, deep inside, she still harbored some illusions.
Because she couldn’t believe she was an abandoned infant.
Originally, her biological parents abandoned her, surely they had their reasons, and in the society of twenty years ago, it was extremely difficult for a single woman to raise a child on her own.
If there were not compelling reasons, she even thought… maybe they just didn’t notice they had lost her.
In this world, how could there be parents who didn’t want their own child?
Speaking of herself, although she was adopted by the Mo Family, throughout her life, even though Mo Yaoxiong knew this fact, he treated her just like his own daughter, and so did Xu Xian.
So she didn’t believe it, she even boldly thought, could it be that Fang Yuliang was her biological father? Maybe they just lost her due to some accident back then? They might have been constantly looking for her…
Haha.
Mo Weiyi, you are really foolish!
Recently, having encountered so many things, you still haven’t learned your lesson, naively horrifying…
Closing her eyes, Mo Weiyi tried to suppress the surging emotions, “Don’t worry, I won’t come looking for you again.”
Ruan Qiyang looked at her, “Is everything you said true?”
Mo Weiyi nodded.
But Ruan Qiyang dared not trust her.
After all, she was now a household name, a big star constantly under the spotlight, where every action could be captured at any moment.
Moreover, since she had already discovered the events of the past, if it were to be leaked, given her current popularity in the entertainment industry, one couldn’t even imagine the ensuing scandal.
Not to mention Fang Yuliang and the Fang Family…
They had always thought she was an orphan, pitiable but with a simple mind.
She was first signed by Fang Yuliang after her debut success, almost like a clean slate in the entertainment industry.
Fang Yuliang loved her deeply, and the Fang Family was very pleased with her; after more than a decade of marriage, she was living a truly happy life…
So when Mo Weiyi turned to leave, Ruan Qiyang immediately stepped forward to stop her, “Don’t leave yet.”
Mo Weiyi was forced to stop, looked up at her, “Do you have anything else to say?”
Ruan Qiyang said, “Let’s make a deal.”
“What do you mean?”
Ruan Qiyang said, “I’ll give you a sum of money, as if it’s my apology for the past, but after this, we’ll be completely clear. You can continue to live your life in Nancheng, but you have to promise to keep today’s matter a secret, not to disclose it to anyone.”
Mo Weiyi just stared straight at her.
Her clear, distinct cat eyes turned coldly indifferent at last.
She lifted her chin, laughing abruptly, “Are you that scared of me exposing the truth?”
The sudden shift in Mo Weiyi’s attitude left Ruan Qiyang momentarily stunned.
“I came to Kyoto just to see you, to clarify the past. Now that it’s cleared up, there’s no need to cling on to you anymore.” After saying this, Mo Weiyi bypassed her, intending to leave.
But Ruan Qiyang couldn’t bear to let her go so easily and grabbed her arm immediately, “Are you going to find my husband? Do you want to expose my past to him?”
Mo Weiyi just found it laughable, “Are you that scared?”
Ruan Qiyang said, “I warn you, I won’t let you destroy my family!”
Mo Weiyi stopped smiling, looked at her expressionlessly, “I didn’t plan to break it up, but if you don’t let go now, I can’t guarantee I won’t change my mind.”
“You…” Ruan Qiyang hadn’t expected Mo Weiyi to actually threaten her in return?
It was as if she had become a different person all of a sudden.
Even her entire demeanor changed, fierce and compelling.
“So your true color is showing, isn’t it?” Ruan Qiyang’s face turned cold instantly, “Say it, how much money do you want? Name your price.”
Mo Weiyi pursed her red lips.
After two seconds, she said, “Alright.”
Ruan Qiyang instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as she was willing to talk about money, everything was negotiable.
“How much? Name your price.”
Mo Weiyi said, “I want a hundred million.”
Upon hearing this amount, Ruan Qiyang gasped sharply, “Are you crazy? A hundred million? Where would I get that much money?”
“Given your current status, my asking for a hundred million is already quite polite. Otherwise, I’ll immediately go out to find your husband, call the reporters, and reveal everything about how you abandoned your own daughter twenty years ago…”
“I agree!” Ruan Qiyang immediately interrupted her.
Mo Weiyi let out a sneer, “It seems being a star really pays well.”
She had just spoken offhand, but Ruan Qiyang had agreed so quickly.
“I agree, I will give you a hundred million, but after that, please don’t come looking for me again. We will be completely even,” Ruan Qiyang said as she pulled out her cellphone, “Give me your bank account number, I’ll transfer the money right now.”
“In such a hurry?” Mo Weiyi lifted her red lips, smirking, “I don’t remember my account number.”
“Then… give me your mobile number first, I’ll contact you later…”
Mo Weiyi immediately turned around.

Ruan Qiyang, shocked, once again grabbed her arm, “You can’t leave…”
Meanwhile, suddenly there came footsteps from ahead.
Looking up, she saw several people dressed in formal attire for the evening approaching. She immediately noticed her husband Fang Yuliang and Mo Weiyi’s friend…
Ruan Qiyang immediately became furious and cursed, “You slut! You deliberately talked to me here so that your friend could find my husband and tell him about my past! Do you really want to ruin my life? I’m telling you, if you destroy me, I won’t let you off either!”
She desperately pinched Mo Weiyi’s arm, her sharp nails digging in, and soon used her other hand, almost frantically…
Until her arm was seized by a strong force.
The pain made her instantly release her hand.
Right after that, Rong An fiercely swung…
“Ah——”
Ruan Qiyang screamed as she was thrown out.
“Qiyang!” Fang Yuliang quickly stepped forward and caught his wife.
The pavilion here is all made of hard cement, she wore only a thin evening gown and was wearing very high heels, if she really had fallen, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
“Princess, are you okay?” On the other side, Rong An asked in a low voice.
Mo Weiyi didn’t speak; she just watched the people coming from the other side.
All of them were dressed in black.
Murmuring woefully, like a dark army overwhelming the area, the atmosphere was menacing.
The leader was a young man around twenty-four or twenty-five, also dressed in black. Under the sparse light of the street lamps, his entire body was cast in a slender and clean silhouette, upright and exquisite.
Despite his young age, his presence was formidable.
It was the kind of aura only those who had long held high positions could possess…
She didn’t recognize this person, but the one beside him…
Gu Huai’an?
Mo Weiyi was somewhat surprised.
Gu Huai’an, the president of Nancheng Gu’s Media, why would he be here?
Upon hearing Fang Yuliang shout—
“Sixth Master.”
Mo Weiyi was even more surprised.
So, this young man was Huo Jingshen’s “Sixth Uncle”?
Incredibly young!
“Mr. Fang.” The Sixth Master’s voice was very low and chilly, showing no sign of emotional changes.
Despite being a media tycoon of Kyoto, Fang Yuliang immediately began to apologize, “I’m sorry, Sixth Master, it’s all my fault.”
Having finished his words, he turned to Ruan Qiyang, “What happened? Hurry and apologize to Miss Mo!”
Ruan Qiyang, still somewhat shocked from almost falling, heard this and her face instantly underwent many changes.
It seemed that Fang Yuliang still didn’t know about another daughter he had twenty years ago.
So that means…
“Didn’t you hear me?” Fang Yuliang warned in a low voice, “She is a distinguished guest invited by the Sixth Master tonight, and a friend of Mr. Gu.”
Ruan Qiyang had just breathed a sigh of relief, but because of this statement, she broke out in a cold sweat for no reason.
Was she really invited by the Sixth Master?
“I’m sorry!” she could only admit her mistake, “Miss Mo, I didn’t mean it, are you okay?”
Mo Weiyi didn’t say anything.
She just waited for everyone to look at her before immediately tucking her arms behind her back.
Seeing this, Ruan Qiyang continued her apologies, “I’m sorry, the whole incident was a misunderstanding, Miss Mo, please don’t take it to heart, what I said… was not sincere.”
Mo Weiyi looked at the woman in front of her and felt an overwhelming irony.
This was her biological mother…
Just a moment ago, she had been commanding and arrogant in front of her.
And now, with her husband and strangers present, she could immediately bow her head and admit her mistake?
…
“What’s going on?” Gu Huai’an finally spoke, raising his eyebrow, “Old Six, is this how you treat your guests?”
Ming Jinmo, referred to as Old Six, shifted his brow slightly, then asked, “Miss Mo, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Mo Weiyi’s tone was cold.
As she spoke, there was almost no warmth in her eyes, even though the one asking was one of the current hotshot magnates of Kyoto’s business sector.
Where was the previous submissive attitude?
Ruan Qiyang looked at her expression, somewhat puzzled.
She actually knew Ming Jinmo?
And she also knew Gu Huai’an?
The attitude of these two towards her seemed to be quite extraordinary…
A bad feeling suddenly arose in her heart…
Fang Yuliang was still smoothing things over, “It must have been a misunderstanding; I’m very sorry to have startled Miss Mo this evening. How about this, tomorrow I shall host a banquet…”
“No need,” Mo Weiyi suddenly spoke.
Fang Yuliang, all smiles, “You do need it; I just heard you’re also staying at Jinxiu Garden. Since that’s the case, I’m hosting a family banquet tomorrow, and I would still like Lord Six to honor us with his presence…”
“I said no need,” Mo Weiyi interrupted him again, “Ms. Ruan and I just met by chance; there’s really no need for a reunion.”
Having said that, she turned to Ming Jinmo, “Lord Six, thank you for your hospitality these past few days and for your invitation tonight. I’m feeling somewhat unwell, so I’ll be leaving first.”
The man nodded slightly, noncommittally.
His attitude was cold.
Mo Weiyi had even less desire for pleasantries.
She nodded to both, considering it a greeting.
Done with that, she turned around, “Rong An, let’s go.”
…
Ma Bi looked at his own boss with some concern.
Is that it?
Just let Miss Mo leave like that?
When someone gave an almost imperceptible signal, he hurriedly chased after them.
**
Ma Bi followed them all the way to the hotel entrance, “Miss Mo.”
Mo Weiyi stopped, “Is there something else?”
Looking at the crimson scratch marks on her arm, Ma Bi, full of remorse, said, “Miss Mo, how did you get injured? It’s all my fault, I failed at my job…”
“It has nothing to do with you,” Mo Weiyi interrupted him lightly, “I just feel unwell, and I want to leave early.”
Ma Bi could only nod, “Alright then, Miss Mo, you should rest well when you get back. Don’t worry, I’ll talk to Lord Six about this…”
“Such a trivial matter shouldn’t bother Lord Six.”
“But…”
“Ms. Ruan and I hold no grudges, it’s just that our conversation didn’t click, and she accidentally injured me. There’s no need to bring Lord Six and the guests into a conflict over someone irrelevant like me.”
“Miss Mo, how can you say you’re irrelevant? You are…”
“Assistant Ma,” Mo Weiyi’s tone was firm, “I appreciate your help and Mr. Huo’s, but this is my personal matter. Do you understand?”
Ma Bi looked at her.
After a long moment, he finally nodded, “Alright, I understand.”
**
On the other side of the back garden.
Once the miscellaneous people left, Fang Yuliang turned to his wife, “What exactly happened just now?”
“It’s nothing,” Ruan Qiyang, feigning calm, continued with Mo Weiyi’s earlier words, “I just happened to meet Miss Mo here and we chatted casually…”
“What were you talking about?” Fang Yuliang pressed on.
His gaze held obvious suspicion.
Ruan Qiyang could only continue to lie, “She mentioned she has seen my movies and is somewhat of a fan.”
“You talked about that, and it led to her arm being injured?”
Ruan Qiyang was startled.
She didn’t expect her husband would find out.
She quickly apologized in a low voice, “It’s all my fault, I wasn’t aware of my own strength, but I really didn’t mean it… Honey, rest assured, I’ll personally apologize tomorrow.”
Those words made Fang Yuliang’s expression slightly soften.
“By the way, honey,” Ruan Qiyang casually asked, “What exactly is Miss Mo’s relationship with Lord Six?”
“Not familiar, she must be a friend invited by Lord Six, maybe someone who came over from Nancheng with President Gu.”
“Really?” Ruan Qiyang smiled, “What a coincidence, Keying has been filming in Nancheng recently…”
“However,” Fang Yuliang suddenly frowned, “This Miss Mo seems somewhat familiar…”
Ruan Qiyang felt a shock in her heart and hurriedly said, “Honey, I think I just twisted my ankle…”
Fang Yuliang was pulled back from his thoughts.
He looked down to check, “Let’s head back to the banquet hall first. If it’s serious, you should go rest.”
“Okay.”
**
As the couple returned to the banquet hall, just as Fang Yuliang was about to call his assistant, someone walked over.
“Mr. Fang.”
Fang Yuliang recognized her as an employee from Ming Jinmo’s company, “Miss Gu.”
Gu Nai said with a smile, “Lord Six mentioned he has some matters and would like to ask your wife a few questions.”
Fang Yuliang looked towards Ruan Qiyang.
The latter’s face suddenly changed, “Lord Six is looking for me?”
