Mo Ye frowned and remained silent. Mo Jue’s solemn look was extremely rare to her. Meng Lianling’s displeasure, Mo Jue’s malicious and insidious look, and Mo Ye’s silence made the atmosphere in the living room extremely sinister.
Mo Jue coldly laughed. “Why did you mention Eleven to Ye Wei yesterday?”
Mo Ye’s face changed and he looked at Meng Lianling coldly. His slight frown did not conceal his displeasure. Meng Lianling lied and then coldly smiled. “What did Ye Wei tell you?”
She told Ye Wei that she must not tell Mo Jue anything, and to think she had actually told Mo Jue about them. She had misjudged her. She thought that Ye Wei was an honorable person, but she was wrong.
Meng Lianling secretly hated Ye Wei and held her hand tightly.
Mo Jue’s look became even colder. “Wei Wei did not tell me anything. It was you. Why did you tell her such a dribble?”
“How did you know if she did not tell you?” Meng Lianling tried to rebut.
“Hmmph. Meng Lianling, do not try to get out of this. If you did not say anything to provoke Ye Wei, she would have never dreamed of Eleven last night. You told Ye Wei that Eleven was her enemy?” Mo Jue coldly laughed. “What else did you tell her? Mind telling me everything in one fell swoop?”
Mo Ye was extremely displeased, and Meng Lianling was panicking. Surely things couldn’t have gone south so bad? She merely mentioned Eleven, and she did not seem as though she was provoked. How could she even dream about it? This was an uncanny coincidence.
Mo Jue felt that Eleven and Ye Wei were too deeply intertwined with each other. If Meng Lianling claimed that Eleven was Ye Wei’s sister, Ye Wei would not have been this triggered as she was able to accept things she knew. Meng Lianling should not have told Ye Wei that Eleven was her enemy. Given Ye Wei’s character, she would get to the root of what she could not agree with. While she might seem cool and unaffected by it, she was deeply affected by it and would ponder about it day in and day out. That explained why she would dream about Eleven.
He pinned all the blame on Meng Lianling and felt that she had started everything. He hated many people complicating the issue. Whatever her agenda was, she should not have done that. It did not help that he had warned her not to spout nonsense, but she did not heed his warning.
One could imagine how much Mo Jue wanted to wallop her. If it weren’t for Mo Ye, he would have long taken action.
Meng Lianling did not feel that she was in the wrong. Even if she was in the wrong, she was extremely unhappy at how Mo Jue, who always doted on her, roared at her. “If I did not tell her that Eleven was her enemy, were you expecting me to say that they were bosom buddies?”
When Mo Jue saw her attitude, he stood up and flipped the table in anger. The coffee spilled onto the floor, and the table almost shattered from Mo Jue kicking it. He roared in anger. “Who the f*** told you to deliberately mention Eleven’s name? Who allowed you to tell her about the past? Who the heck do you think you are? God?!”
He was indeed enraged, and his anger would subside if Meng Lianling admitted her mistake. He would have just warned her and called an end to it. Little did he expect her to think she was not in the wrong and roared at him instead.
That was an utter joke! Who did she think she was?
Meng Lianling was utterly terrified by Mo Jue and her eyes seemed somewhat uneasy. Mo Ye, who sat aside silently, made her even more panicky. He would not spare anybody who caused her to even slightly frown. Even if said person was Mo Jue, he would stand up to defend her. Everything about today was the complete opposite. He sat quietly at a corner and she could not openly ask for help. She was angry and vexed.
“Just take it that I said something wrong. Since she did not even recall anything, what are you angry about? It’s merely a damn dream, so what’s the big deal about it?” Meng Lianling said. While she had somewhat yielded under Mo Jue’s malicious and insidious streak, it was with an unwilling heart.
“Meng Lianling!” Mo Jue flew into a rage. Since it was not about her, she could speak utterly irresponsibly. He could not allow Ye Wei to have the slightest recollection of the past as he wanted this happy life. Mo Jue would not spare anybody else who tried to sabotage that.
In order for him to have today with Ye Wei, he had expended all possible efforts. Meng Lianling sabotaging this delicate balance caused the fear in Mo Jue’s heart to be even more than other feelings he had. He was even more frustrated toward Meng Lianling.
“Brother Jue, you are too serious about this.” Meng Lianling coldly smiled. “Ye Wei cannot remember anything. Even if she dreamed about Eleven, her dreams are different from what I said. I can claim that I am being considerate toward her. There is simply no big deal about this. It’s you who are too uptight about her! Maybe this hasn’t been appropriate?”
She said it for Mo Ye, and she knew that Mo Ye greatly disapproved of Ye Wei being with him. If Mo Jue was utterly sincere about it, he would kill Ye Wei and end all possible complications.
Having been with Mo Ye for so many years, she was extremely clear about how she should stoke his anger.
As she had expected, the silent Mo Ye looked at Mo Ye who was fuming. He did not speak, but he gave people the impression he had warned Mo Jue so that he would not go overboard.
Meng Lianling coldly smiled Mo Jue stared at her angrily as he knew what was on her mind. “Lianling, I always thought you were kind. It seems that I was a bad judge of character.”
Meng Lianling’s face changed, but Mo Ye remained silent and merely looked at Meng Lianling. Mo Ye then deeply pondered about something.
She was indignant at how Mo Ye was out of character, but even more so at Mo Jue’s questioning. “Brother Jue, what did I say wrongly? That is the truth! Ye did tell you that you are thoroughly entangled with women from the terrorist organization. Who will be eventually implicated? Ye Wei is a master manipulator, but she is just that untamable and that uncertain. You are simply unable to control her. Judging by how you are so nervous about her, you might just be the one who will cave in!”
“Lianling, shut up!” Mo Ye roared. Lianling was flustered. As she was about to rant, she saw Mo Ye’s extremely cold gaze. She secretly chided herself for not knowing her boundaries and triggering Mo Ye.
Mo Ye once said that he trusted Mo Jue the most, then her. He was the most certain that his brother would never sell him out, yet she still came after Mo Jue.
What she said clearly drove a wedge between both brothers. Even though she meant otherwise, she had created this illusion. If she weren’t Meng Lianling, Mo Ye would have gunned her down.
“Ye, I do not mean anything special. I am just raising the facts as they are,” Meng Lianling said in defense.
Mo Jue smiled. “Lianling, you do not have to worry about my affairs. But I am curious as to why you deliberately mentioned Eleven to Wei Wei? She had no impression of Eleven. Why did you mention Eleven for no rhyme nor reason? Why did you lie to her and claim that Eleven was her enemy? Are you trying to turn them against each other? If so, why?”
Meng Lianling slightly panicked and she looked at Mo Ye. Mo Ye looked at her calmly in return.
