Chapter 942 - No One Is More Pitiful Than Cen Mo!
The surrounding air pressure lowered in an instant. Cen Mo looked towards the door. Saihand understood his intention and went up to him. “It seems like Madam Chu feels that her life is too comfortable right now!”
Cen Mo said earlier…
“I dare to bet with you, the minute you step out of the law firm, you’ll be dragged to god knows where to be a prostitute, and then you’ll contract some STD like AIDS, making you feel better off dead than alive. Most importantly, no one will know about it.”
Looking at Cen Mo’s gaze, Saihand already understood. Cen Mo was planning to send Chu Wenjuan to some godforsaken place to be a prostitute without anyone knowing, reducing her to the state Cen Mo talked about…
“Okay, Sir, I’ll get it done right away!” Saihand turned around and chased after Chu Wenjuan and Cen Ruo, who had just been sent away.
Cen Mo was enraged and blew up that day. He replaced all of the bodyguards and servants in the house, no exceptions!
Including the one who had been looking after Song Yao!
Cen Mo’s reason was very simple. In his own house, not a single one of the servants and bodyguards could protect the mistress of the house. That being the case, what was the use of keeping them!
Saihand was very efficient. In less than two hours, everyone in and out of the house was completely replaced.
Afraid that the change in servants and bodyguards downstairs would affect Song Yao, Cen Mo accompanied Song Yao to the greenhouse upstairs…
Song Yao sat on a sofa and watched an animated film, whilst Cen Mo sat beside Song Yao, using his laptop to work. When Song Yao said that she wanted to eat a certain fruit, he would bring it to her mouth.
The new servants and bodyguards didn’t even dare to breathe loudly, fearing they might accidentally make a sound that disrupted Song Yao’s reading, in turn pissing Cen Mo off!
Song Yao leaned in Cen Mo’s arms. She recalled that before coming to Morocco, in order to stop Li Muyang, she was hospitalized, and after she woke, Cen Mo’s ex-fiancée came to look for her. It was then… that Song Yao made up her mind to be together with Cen Mo!
That was at the affiliated hospital of Haicheng Medical University. Song Yao had just awakened, and Cen Mo, who had been staying vigil by her side, had not slept for several days and was completely exhausted, went to the hotel beside the hospital to get some rest. Cen Mo’s fiancée had come to visit Song Yao while he was away.
When Cen Mo’s fiancée came in from outside the ward, the bodyguard in black following behind her placed a chair behind the fiancée and then left. Song Yao had then guessed that the beautiful girl who was nearly 1.8m tall and clearly of mixed-blood… was Cen Mo’s fiancée.
In the past, Song Yao had never seen Cen Mo’s fiancée and was full of guilt towards her. She even thought that Cen Mo’s fiancée had gotten people to beat her up in order to vent her anger.
Song Yao tightly gripped the blanket underneath her and stared at Zhong Moli, not daring to utter a word. She wasn’t willing to hypocritically pretend like she knew nothing and ask Zhong Moli who she was. Neither was she willing to pretend nothing had happened and shamelessly say hello to Zhong Moli…
Zhong Moli’s black and clear eyes gazed at Song Yao. She smiled at Song Yao and said, “Hello, Song Yao, my Chinese name is Zhong Moli. I’m not sure if Cen Mo has told you, but I’m Cen Mo’s… fiancée, I suppose!”
Song Yao’s face turned pale. She could anticipate what Zhong Moli was about to say to her. The word “embarrassed” was carved on her forehead as she spoke first. “I’m sorry to have hurt you. I… I will… I will leave Cen Mo as soon as possible! I’m really, very sorry… I know nothing I say now will help, I…”
“I think that you’re misunderstanding my intention!” Zhong Moli cut Song Yao off. She smiled in a friendly manner at Song Yao, not appearing high-and-mighty or sarcastic like Song Yao had anticipated. She said, “My engagement to Cen Mo was merely a trade that allowed each of us to get what we wanted. But Cen Mo and I are considered friends who get along rather well… That’s why I came here today. I have some things to say to you! Regarding Cen Mo…”
Song Yao looked at Zhong Moli, confused.
“Right, I need to apologize to you first! I’m very sorry about having you beat up last time. It was because Cen Mo didn’t tell me about you then. I didn’t know that you were the woman he planned to spend the rest of his life with! That’s why I got people to beat you up, in order to make the act complete, truly sorry!”
Song Yao shook her head. Her gaze toward Zhong Moli turned from apologetic to wary. From what Cen Mo had told her, she knew that Zhong Moli came from an influential triad family…
Towards people she didn’t understand, Song Yao never let her guard down. The friendlier Zhong Moli appeared before her, the more Song Yao felt that she must be plotting something behind her back.
“I know that you might think I’m plotting something. That’s normal… I was born in that kind of family. From an outsider’s perspective, in families like that, even the pets are scheming by nature.” Zhong Moli smiled bitterly. “So, people like us, who came from that kind of family, never have any friends!”
Zhong Moli looked up and smiled at Song Yao. “I’m not acting pitifully in front of you… Speaking of pitiful, no one is more pitiful than Cen Mo! You’ll never be able to guess the kind of life Cen Mo led before the age of twenty!”
Song Yao said nothing as she looked at Zhong Moli, increasingly unable to see through her.
“Cen Mo used to be a pretty boy who was sold like merchandise on the black market. Because he was sick, he was abandoned in a wet and cold basement to wait for death. It was Cen Mo’s current adoptive mother who saw Cen Mo and took him away from the black market, adopting him.”
Song Yao only knew that Cen Mo was an adopted son of the Cen family. The married couple didn’t have kids of their own, so they adopted nine sons and two daughters…
One adopted daughter had already passed away before Cen Mo was brought to the Cen family, whereas the other adopted daughter was the spoiled rotten Cen Ruo!
Song Yao had heard Cen Mo mention before that Cen Ruo was the biological daughter of Chu Wenjuan’s younger sister. From the time she was born, she was brought to Chu Wenjuan’s side and had addressed Chu Wenjuan as her mother. This was so Chu Wenjuan could have a blood-related child by her side and not be too lonely. Hence, Cen Ruo naturally had a higher status than the other kids in the Cen family!
As for the other nine adopted children, other than the first, third, sixth, and seventh sons, who had already passed away, Cen Mo said… that the Cens would be selecting a successor out of the remaining five boys.
Zhong Moli placed her bag on her lap and smiled gently at Song Yao. She tucked her hair behind her ear and said, “You ought to have heard… that Cen Mo’s adoptive father suffered from Azoospermia1, and that he wouldn’t have any children of his own during this lifetime. This was why he adopted a group of boys, wanting to select his successor from them!”
Song Yao nodded, indicating that she knew.
Before Song Yao got together with Cen Mo, Song Yao had heard about this from a veteran in the acting industry when she was filming…
It was said that the investor, Cen Mo, was actually an adopted son of the Cen family. The Cens adopted nine sons and had very early on announced to the outside world that they would be selecting the successor from the nine of them.
However, as the Cen couple became older and older, the competition for the rights to succession became more intense, and four out of the nine adopted sons died one after the other. All were accidents… It was either a car accident, a fire, or a drowning. In any case, none of the four died from illness!
