Feeling generous!

31 Mo Yan:

Mo Yan…I’m sorry you had to suffer like this.

Who? Who was speaking?

She was in darkness. The starkness made her feel cold and afraid.

I am, a light appeared from the darkness.

You are the…original soul. Are you coming back? She asked the woman who looked exactly the same as her.

But the ghost shook her head, I’m dead. You own the body now. Although I was angry at first wondering how you robbed my body, but it is irrevocable fact. And I have seen in your memories that I was just an antagonist in a book, and my parents…will end their lives tragically.

Seeing her second self’s head bowed, she knew that it was true.

Can you promise to look after my parents and change the ending of our family?

I’m sorry this bad thing happened to you. But you’re dead in your former world. This…this is your second chance at life. Don’t give it up so easily.

Then, what do you like about Long Aotian? Mo Yan asked the former her.

Aotian…it took so many years but he never cared for me. Looking at your memories, he really had no feelings for me. I mean he did that to me for a woman. Well, since I set up the attack, that was my problem. Now, I don’t care anymore; I’m dead. Don’t worry Yan-yan, I have let go of Aotian. My family is the most important; please take good care of them, don’t let others look down on them and treat them badly.

Mo Yan had a brilliant smile on her face. Mo Yan could see no trace of sadness or anger in the former soul. It confirmed that she had completely let go of her feelings for Aotian.

I beg you. And thank you. The soul said before kissing Mo Yan’s head and walking into a bright light in the dark. And the light vanished.

Mo Yan found herself staring at the rose red canopy of her bed. The feelings for Long Aotian had now vanished completely with the passing on of the former Mo Yan. She turned over and clutched a pink pillow and lay still. Her mind was blank, she didn’t know what to think. A breeze blew into her room and touched her body causing her to shiver. She had been sweating from the fever. She slowly rose out of bed, and walked to the bathroom to get rid of the sweat.

Hot water washed down her graceful enchanting body filling the bathroom with steam. She closed her eyes and called out in her mind,

Mo Yan, I promise you, I will take good care of your parents.

After a long time in the shower, she put on clean pyjamas and sat in her bed hugging her pillow. She was like a lost little girl without a sense of security, she looked pitiful and cute. (Zuben: This is weird. How is this a ‘cute’ situation to be in?) She stared, unthinking, into the distance.

Her bedroom door opened making her tremble, but she saw it was her mother, so she continued to stare into space.

‘Yan-yan, why haven’t you dried your hair? You will catch a cold.’ Meng Xin said on seeing her daughter’s hair was dripping water onto the bed. She quickly got a towel to towel dry the hair before blow drying it, to prevent her baby from falling sick again. (Zuben: I know! Death from fevers are a very real threat here)

With the warm wind from the dryer and her mother’s gentle hands caressing her hair, Mo Yan soon felt sleepy. She fell into her mother’s arms, and she felt her mother kiss her gently.

Meng Xin lay her back in bed and covered her with her quilt.

32 A Person’s Ignorance:

A gentle breeze blew as warm sunshine fell on a young lady sitting with knees up in a garden chair. She was wearing a snow-white gauzy dress that fell down to her delicate ankles which made one want to steal a bite. Mo Yan stared distantly into the pool. From time to time, she frowned. She would sigh and rest her chin on her knees. Tears fell from her eyes as she looked into the distance. She sniffed and dabbed her tears on the skirt of her dress.

‘Yan-yan, why are you sitting there in the cold breeze. You will catch a cold.’ Meng Xin through a light blanket over her, and caressed her hair.  (Zuben: She’s in the warm sunshine, isn’t she?)

Mo Yan rubbed her face on her mother’s palm, Meng Xin felt like her heart was melting.

It was as though she didn’t notice her daughter had changed. Since the really bad fever, her daughter had become a sensible girl. Though she was happy, she felt a tad sad. She had always felt that her daughter didn’t need to grow up. However, she didn’t expect such a cruel thing to happen to her. Her heart was still aching from the this. She stayed with Mo Yan because she was afraid that the attack would affect her. But to her relief, her daughter stabilised but she often became dazed. She knew that it was because of the trauma, but she could see Mo Yan getting stronger everyday. She hoped that time would slowly heal Mo Yan’s heart.

‘Mom,’ she called smiling at Meng Xin, not wanting her to worry. She put her arms around Meng Xin’s waist and rubbed her head on her stomach.

‘Darling, let’s go inside. It’s warmer.’ Meng Xin took her hands and brought her into the kitchen, and gave her a cup of hot cocoa Auntie had prepared. Watching her daughter sip like a little animal, she was reluctant to let go.

‘Is our baby feeling better?’ Mo Yuhao said as he walked into the kitchen. He had left work immediately after a company meeting to that he could also accompany their daughter. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a tan clavicle, looking very sexy. (Zuben: Because in times of trouble, we can’t forget to lust after every one.)

He walked up to where his wife and daughter were sitting and patted Mo Yan’s hair, his eyes were full of doting and concern.

‘I’m much better.’ Mo Yan said smiling at her handsome father. Seeing them both watching over her with caring and loving eyes, she was deeply moved and realised that she was not alone.

‘Darling, Father needs to ask you; that night at the Palace. Did you really ask Fang Qianxin to take you to the car?’

It had taken a few days for her to be mentally stable, which was only why he dared ask, so that he could confirm he and Meng Xin’s suspicions.

Mo Yan’s bright smile faded away. She looked shocked and scared,

‘No. No, I didn’t. I…got tired of dancing so I went back to our booth. Fang Qianxin was there, she handed me a glass of bloody Mary to drink. I kept drinking because I was in a bad mood, then she asked me to go and wash my face in the bathroom. I didn’t…I didn’t expect…’ Thinking about that awful night, she was overcome with sadness and fear again.

‘It’s okay.’ Yuhao drew her into a hug, ‘It’s over now. It’s all over.’

When she calmed down, Mo Yuhao continued, ‘We were able to get your bag and phone from the Palace. There is record of calling Fang Qianxin at around 10pm. She insisted that she took you to the limo and sent you home, and then received a call from you saying you had gotten home.’

‘No, I didn’t. I didn’t take my phone and bag with me to the toilet. I left them on the seat.’ Mo Yan cried.

Looing at her sadness, Meng Xin and Mo Yuhao were sad and angry.

‘Don’t cry, Mom and Dad believe you. We also suspect that this was all Fang Qianxin’s doing but my contacts could not get any proof. I’m sorry Mom and Dad can’t get justice for you.’

‘It’s doesn’t matter,’ Mo Yan said, ‘I know you tried hard. I just grateful you were here with me. Without you, I would have gone crazy.’

Listening to her father’s apology, she was sad, because she had been playing, she had not paid attention to things like this happening. She wiped the tears on her face and hugged her parents.

‘Don’t worry, Dad, Mom, I will stay away from Fang Qianxin. I can only blame myself for not seeing her clearly.’

Thinking of the things that happened in the novel, Fang Qianxin encouraging Mo Yan to fight, finding people to rape Ye Ling, she felt that the original soul was stupid to be so easily fooled. How could she go out again and again, and see another woman beside Long Aotian each time? The original soul was too blinded by her love for Aotian and only saw Qianxin as kind for telling her.

Mo Yan could only sigh in her heart.

33 In Hejing:

Seeing that Mo Yan had finally realised Fang Qianxin’s deceptive heart, Yuhao felt that his daughter was finally enlightened,

‘Darling, there’s another thing; are you certain you want to cancel the engagement with Long Aotian?’

‘Yes, I’m sure.’ Mo Yan nodded with a big smile.

‘Alright, I’ll take care of it tomorrow. Leave it to me.’ Yuhao caressed her soft hair.

Ah, what to do? His daughter was so cute and loveable. How could such a thing happen to her? (Zuben: Because she's cute and loveable?)

🜜

In Heijing, a high-end Japanese restaurant, the VIP rooms were well sound-proofed and ensured privacy. Many business tycoons liked to come there for dinner, not afraid that they would be spied on or disturbed.

‘Mr Long,’ Mo Yuhao said apologetically holding up his glass, ‘I have to apologise; we would have to cancel the engagement between your son and our daughter.’

‘Mr Mo, why? How could you cancel all of a sudden? Did my family’s Aotian do something to offend you?’ The smartly dressed middle aged man asked in surprise.

‘No, he did not. It’s just that my wife and I don’t think that they are suited for one another. I don’t think Long Aotian has developed any feelings for my daughter after so long. I think it would be sad and painful to force two people who have no feelings to marry. And, I would also like to end our business cooperation.’ Although Mo Yuhao had a gentle smile on his face; his tone was decisive and firm.

‘I am sorry. I will teach Aotian a good lesson.’ Long Yanhao realised that there was no room for turning things around, so he smiled to hide his inner anger and embarrassment. (Zuben: Yuhao. Yanhao. I’m sure they mean totally different things, but couldn’t she think of names that sounded totally different?)

After seeing Mo Yuhao off to his car, the smile he had on his face fell immediately. He got into his car and closed his eyes. In a cold tone he said to his secretary,

‘Call Aotian home, I have something to say to him.’

‘Yes, sir!’

The cooperation between Mo and Long meant that Mo was going to invest some funds in their company, now it was over; who would fill in the rest?

When he arrived at home, he went straight to his study. He slammed the palm of his hand against the table. Aotian came in, but one look at his indifferent attitude, his anger burned brighter. Yanhao picked up an ashtray on his desk and threw it at Aotian. It hit Aotian in the head, and blood slowly poured from the gash down to his shirt.

But Aotian did not move or care about the blood, as though he was long used to such things. His expression showed impatience, wanting Yunhao to let him know what his purpose for calling him was for.

‘Damn waste! I told you to take good care of Miss Mo! How did you take care of her until she wants to cancel the engagement?’

‘Maybe she doesn’t care for me anymore.’ Aotian said retaining his indifference, spreading his hands out to show he was helpless.

‘I should have strangled you when you were a baby!’ He picked another object and threw it. Disregarding the original injury caused.

‘It’s impossible to regret that now. After all, I am all grown up. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave.’ Aotian gave a robotic bow and left. There was anger burning in his heart and his hate for Long Yanhao grew, but his face was devoid of emotion.

Useless trash, what was the use of him?

When Miss Mo fell in love with Long Aotian, he immediately proposed the marriage merger to the Mos, and was able to use it to get more funds for him plans. However, he did not expect that people would notice Aotian was not able to play ball. When did Miss Mo get smart?

There was a knock on his study door, and the door opened.

At the sight of the young man, the anger on Yanhao’s face cleared, and he looked kindly, ‘What’s the matter?’

‘Dad, why are you angry with older brother again? How could he always make father angry?’ (Zuben: Hello, shit stirrer!)

 34 Long Qingfeng:

Dressed in a casual suit, with an infectious smile, seeing his precious son, Yanhao felt happy. The gloom and anger that clouded the study suddenly vanished.

‘Qingfeng, what’s the matter? Do you have a problem or do you need more money?’ The thought of Qingfeng having tro ubles outside made him worry. (Zuben: I thought you needed investment capital)

‘I’m fine, Dad. I just overheard the quarrel with big brother and was a little worried. So, I came to have a look. I don’t want to cause trouble, I’m still filial.’ His countenance was sunny, but his attitude and tone were full of admiration for Yanhao.

Enjoying his younger son’s care, he sat and said, ‘What are we going to do with your investment plan without the engagement to the Mos?’ The conundrum gave him a headache, and he really wanted to strangle Aotian.

‘Hmm, how about the Fang family. Although they are not comparable to the Mo, they still have a lot of money. And I have heard that Miss Fang likes older brother. This way, they might be able to get engaged.’

‘Oh! That is a good idea. Qingfeng is really excellent!’ He looked at his younger son in satisfaction.

‘By the way, don’t you like women, son? I’m worried about you.’ He suddenly felt anxious that his soon was still single.

‘Well, there is a girl I have a good feeling about, but I did not dare mention it.’ Qingfeng said shyly.

‘Which woman? Tell dad, I will help you.’
‘Well, it’s Miss Mo, brother’s former fiancée.’ He said with a little cringe, like he was afraid of being scolded by his father. He looked like a child who had made a mistake and was afraid of being beaten by an adult.

‘Her? Really?’ Yanhao was rather surprised. Although, Miss Mo was a good choice, she had just cancelled her engagement with Aotian. And now suddenly his younger son liked her.

‘Truthfully, I liked her before, but when older brother was getting engaged to her, I decided to put my feelings aside. Today, I overheard about the cancellation, hence, I told you honestly. Would father blame me now for liking brother’s fiancée?’ he asked tentatively, watching Yanhao’s expression. Would he think he was a beast chasing after his brother’s fiancée?

Seeing his baby son worried about being scolded, Yanhao sighed, and went up to Qingfeng, ‘It’s okay. She has just cancelled her engagement with Aotian. Now you suddenly like Miss Mo? Well, if that is the case father recommends that you look for opportunities to get closer to her.’

Like a loving father, his stroked Qingfeng’s head with his large and gave him strong backing.

(Zuben: So syrupy. Faking! Or probably gay)

‘Thank you, dad. You’re the best. But big brother, would he mind?’ Thinking of his brother’s expression, Qingfeng suddenly became discouraged.

‘He dares! There is nothing to say about that trash and Miss Mo. But get on well with her. I will propose a dinner so that you can have a chance to meet.’ Although he was angry with Aotian. He hoped that his little son could marry into the Mo family, and get his happiness.

If Aotian married Miss Fang, and Qingfeng, his baby, married Miss Mo, the Long enterprise would be have more sources of funding. Yanhao was satisfied with his calculations. He decided his youngest son was the best.

He had no idea whether the Mo family would like him or not.

As for Aotian, whether he wanted to marry Miss Fang or not, was not his decision.

35 The Most Poisonous Woman’s Heart:

‘Qingfeng, come over.’ An enchanting plump lady beckoned from another door to Long Qingfeng as he came out of the study. (Zuben: No uggos in this universe)

She looked upon him gently as he walked to her and entered the room.

‘It’s okay, I have asked Aunty Mei to look out. She will tell me if Yanhao comes out.’

On hearing her words, he pulled off the tie roughly and sat with his feet on the table mannerlessly. The seemingly gentle disposition disappeared. Instead, he was suddenly slap-dash and he grabbed the glass in his mother’s hand to drink,

‘I’m tired of playing the good boy.’ He whined, grabbing his hair.

‘But your father likes this. You see how much he hates Aotian.’ When his mother thought of Long Aotian, she wanted to kill him. Everytime, she saw him look at her son with disdainful eyes, she was inflamed with anger.

‘Well, brother doesn’t know how to pretend, that’s why he is hated by the old man.’ Qingfeng laughed villainously.

‘Even if he pretended, your father still hates him. He doesn’t want to leave the company to Aotian to inherit. So as long as you continue your ruse before Yanhao, you will get your rewards.’ She said excitedly, looking forward to a bright future. (Zuben: what’s wrong with the situation you have now?)

‘Sure, Ma.’

‘By the way, why are you helping Aotian get close to the Fang girl? It will be you who would lose out in the end.’

‘It’s okay, I know what I am doing. In any case, Aotian would not inherit.’

A few days prior, Fang Qianxin suddenly came up to speak to him about Long Aotian. His instincts told him there was something deeper afoot.

‘Long Qingfeng, I’ll get straight to the point. Mo Yan is going to cancel her engagement with Long Aotian.’

‘Is that so? That’s a good thing for me.’ He said with raise of his brow, staring at the gentle young lady before him, making one want to be aggressive to her.

‘Don’t you want to elevate yourself? Although, Long Yanhao loves you, Long Aotian is more talented in business than you are. Although the company’s future plans have your name on them, those plans are made by Long Aotian. Aren’t I right?’

Watching him clench his fist in anger, she snickered inwardly.

‘Well, I have a proposal for you. Mo Yan and Aotian’s engagement is cancelled. You can grab Mo Yan and the Mo family will be behind you.’

‘And what do you gain from this? Long Aotian?’

‘You don’t understand. I just want him. As long as you have the power in the company, you can leave him no place to come to but to me. Even if he doesn’t want it, I will just cut off his limbs and lock him in a room, so that I could be the only one he sees everyday.’ Thinking about Long Aotian belonging only to her filled her with pleasure and happiness. Her beautiful face took on a maddened ferocity that made Qingfeng shudder. (Zuben: Bitch be cray cray!)

Qingfeng clicked his tongue, ‘I don’t know where Mo Yan offended you or whether it is a good or bad thing to be liked by you.’ He said with a shake of his head.

‘That bitch doesn’t have anything to be proud of. Think about it and get back to me.’ She said before picking up her bag and leaving.

Use Fang Qianxin to bind Aotian, and just stir up the old man from the sidelines and he could get what he wanted without effort. He must think carefully about whether he wanted to take this opportunity with Mo Yan, and at the same time, watch his back for Fang Qianxin. Such a woman would do whatever it took to achieve her goal.
