Thank you Sakina for the coffee treat! 
A chapter will be released early for each coffee treated as a thank you gift. Thank you everyone for reading this work together with me!
After learning about the missing money, Bai Liang rushed home in a rage and confronted his wife, “What did you do with such a large sum of money?”
In the room, Jin Chuyao, who was reading a book, was startled and looked at Bai Liang strangely, “I invested it. The company also has my shares, and I have the right to use that money. What’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong? Do you even understand investment?” Bai Liang looked at his wife, not bothering to hide his contempt.
The woman just smiled gently, “I don’t understand, but I have knowledgeable friends. My best friend’s husband is an investor with connections to many top billionaires. Recently, there was a good deal, and I thought it was suitable, so I asked her to have her husband include us.”
“Such a good opportunity, and it came to you?” Bai Liang frowned, looking at Jin Chuyao with some distrust, but she remained unfazed, expressing deep confidence that there would be returns soon.
Reluctant to escalate the situation, Bai Liang had to temporarily suppress his doubts. However, half a month later, Jin Chuyao indeed brought back the invested capital, and it had doubled.
“Doubled in such a short time?” Bai Liang looked at the numbers on the account statement in disbelief.
Jin Chuyao nodded with a smile. Such a large sum of money couldn’t appear out of thin air, and she didn’t have that capability. No matter how skeptical Bai Liang was, he had to believe that the person Jin Chuyao found had real skills.
Especially after Jin Chuyao successfully invested more money several times, earning substantial profits each time, Bai Liang began to admire her even more.
Faced with such lucrative opportunities, he also became increasingly fond of Jin Chuyao and their two sons.
As for Bai Xiuming, who had not returned home since leaving, it seemed like he had been forgotten.
Meanwhile, Wei Xinling, looking at the happy family photo of Bai Liang’s family on her phone, was filled with intense resentment, almost grinding her teeth in anger.
With eyes full of disappointment, she approached Bai Xiuming, who was crouched in a corner, and delivered a resounding slap. “You good-for-nothing! If I had known, I wouldn’t have given birth to you! If it weren’t for you, your father wouldn’t have ignored me like this, not even bothering to come home!”
Covering his cheeks, Bai Xiuming, who had been suppressing his emotions for days, finally couldn’t take it anymore and shouted, “You only blame me, but if he doesn’t come back, it’s because you don’t have the ability!”
“You!” Hearing Bai Xiuming’s words, Wei Xinling was furious, but seeing her own son’s flushed eyes, she calmed down.

Don’t worry, Jin Chuyao is nothing. Even though your father is ignoring us now, what if he only has you left?”
Understanding the implications of Wei Xinling’s words, Bai Xiuming swallowed nervously. “Mom, are you saying…”
A calculating smile appeared on Wei Xinling’s face. After pretending to be submissive for so many years, she couldn’t afford to lose now.
Then, Wei Xinling reassured Bai Xiuming a few more times before returning to her room and making a phone call.
On the other side, 006, who was constantly monitoring the enemy through various technological means, immediately learned the contents of the phone call and relayed it to Mo Yi.
“What? Is she planning to harm Jin Hanrong?” Mo Yi, who had been enjoying peaceful days protected by Bai Cheng, was caught off guard by the news from 006.
But obviously, Mo Yi wasn’t the only one who received the message. As the boss of “The Mysterious Client,” how could Bai Cheng not pay attention to the movements of that mother and son?
So when Mo Yi found Bai Cheng and was about to tell him to be careful along with his older brother, Bai Cheng spoke first: “Bai Xiuming and his mother seem to be planning something.”
Afterwards, Bai Cheng directly played the recording of the phone call for them.
Quietly swallowing the words he was about to say, Mo Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It was fortunate that his partner acted quickly this time, otherwise he wouldn’t know how to explain himself if he ended up revealing his identity again.
A few days later, Jin Hanrong was involved in a traffic accident on the way to work and fell into a coma. Later, it was said that Jin Chuyao transferred him to a private hospital for easier care.
Bai Liang felt that the accident was too sudden. Looking at the quiet young man lying there as if asleep, when Jin Chuyao told him that the doctors had said there was no chance of Jin Hanrong waking up, Bai Liang felt a hint of joy in his heart.
This son with a different surname had always been a stain in his heart. Now that he would never wake up again, the future inheritance of the Jin family would ultimately go to those with the surname Bai.
Jin Chuyao appeared extremely sorrowful and melancholic. After comforting her briefly, Bai Liang made excuses about needing to handle company matters and left.
Seeing that this man could remain so indifferent even after such a big incident involving their child, Jin Chuyao became completely determined to sever the last bit of affection for Bai Liang.
In the following days, Jin Chuyao appeared despondent, shuttling back and forth between the hospital and home, seemingly no longer concerned about the affairs of the company and investments.
Bai Liang became anxious seeing this and expressed a desire for Jin Chuyao to introduce him to that investor.
He had asked a few times before, but Jin Chuyao never told him the person’s name. However, seeing that the person could make a profit every time, Bai Liang couldn’t resist the temptation and tentatively gave Jin Chuyao some money to invest, which brought substantial returns.
Not wanting to miss out on such a lucrative opportunity, Bai Liang felt increasingly anxious seeing Jin Chuyao’s recent negligence. That’s why he couldn’t help but ask again.
At the time Bai Liang asked, Jin Chuyao was busy packing things to take to the hospital. Upon hearing his words, she nodded absentmindedly and handed him the person’s business card before hastily leaving.
On the other hand, Bai Xiuming finally returned to the old mansion of the Jin family. Although Bai Liang became cold towards him upon his return, when he heard that Jin Hanrong had really gotten into trouble and everyone else at home treated it as an accident, he couldn’t help but feel excited.
Without Jin Hanrong, there was only Bai Cheng left. As long as he followed his mother’s instructions, everything belonging to the Jin family would be theirs!
As he walked upstairs, he bumped into Mo Yi and Bai Cheng coming out of the room.
Remembering the last time Mo Yi and Bai Cheng appeared together at Mr. Ye’s birthday banquet, Bai Xiuming could even guess that something had gone wrong on Mo Yi’s side.
He looked at the two people in front of him with resentment. Since he had already torn off his masks, he no longer pretended to be the good guy.
Sensing Bai Xiuming’s malice, Mo Yi immediately stood in front of Bai Cheng, glaring fiercely at Bai Xiuming with a wrinkled nose and emitting a low, warning vibration from his throat.
Bai Cheng was somewhat surprised by Mo Yi’s demeanor. It was no different from that of a loyal dog protecting its master. The protective stance of his beloved made his heart swell with emotion, and he just wanted to hold him close.
Bai Xiuming was also momentarily taken aback by Mo Yi’s gaze. Considering that this guy was an athlete, he must have a strong grip. Subconsciously, he took a step back. With a sneer, he sarcastically remarked, “Your gambling addict dad doesn’t even know what kind of monster crippled him and left him lying in the hospital. Yet here you are, so carefree. Truly a loyal dog raised by Bai Cheng!”
Previously, Bai Xiuming had been angry and had wanted to teach Mo Yi a lesson by dealing with Mo Hetai. However, he learned that something had happened to Mo Hetai that night, and he was still recuperating in the hospital.
Bai Xiuming had visited him once and saw how jumpy he became at the sight of people. His voice was hoarse, and he could only produce harsh, unpleasant sounds, like a madman.
Seeing Mo Hetai in such a state, Bai Xiuming felt shocked. He didn’t know if the guy was just unlucky or what, and he didn’t know what Mo Hetai had encountered that night. From his appearance, one would think they had encountered ghosts.
Seeing Mo Yi freeze at his words, Bai Xiuming’s expression eased slightly. With a cold snort, he returned to his room, but he didn’t notice the stiff expression on Bai Cheng’s face behind Mo Yi.
Once Bai Xiuming left, Bai Cheng nervously stared at Mo Yi, fearing that he would bring up the topic of Mo Hetai. To his surprise, his pup showed no sign of interest, which made Bai Cheng breathe a sigh of relief.
He thought Mo Yi didn’t care about Bai Xiuming’s words, perhaps thinking they were just nonsense.
Little did he know that Mo Yi was indeed a bit puzzled, but he didn’t think Bai Cheng knew everything. He quietly asked the system in his mind.
“006, something happened to Mo Hetai?”
After a second, 006 infiltrated the network and replied, “Yes! I saw records of him in the hospital. His injuries are severe; his hands and throat are both ruined. He won’t be able to gamble anymore.
But the cause is unknown. On the day of the incident, all we could see on the surveillance footage from the casino was him being taken away by someone. There’s no surveillance for the rest of the way, so we don’t know what happened to him.”
“Okay,” Mo Yi responded, only guessing that perhaps he had encountered misfortune due to unpaid gambling debts and didn’t intend to get involved further.
Half a month later, the school organized an outdoor hiking activity.
Everyone in the class participated, and Mo Yi squinted as he was led by Bai Cheng, yawning constantly. The two of them stayed at the back of the group the entire time, keeping a good distance from the others.
There was no way around it; his partner’s energy was really vigorous. He had been tossed around for most of the night and wasn’t let go until almost dawn, severely sleep-deprived.
As enjoyable as it was at the time, now he was just extremely tired.
But halfway through, He Jiajia slowed down her pace, as if waiting for them. She kept looking at Mo Yi, who was getting closer, while fiddling with the pocket of her clothes, looking somewhat nervous.
Noticing Mo Yi’s sluggish state, the girl asked with concern, “Mo Yi, are you okay?”
“Huh? I’m fine, just a bit tired,” Mo Yi replied, yawning again.
“Oh, I see,” He Jiajia muttered, her cheeks gradually turning red, her hand in her pocket showing some hesitation.
Bai Cheng could vaguely see a pink corner inside, seeming to be an envelope, so he narrowed his eyes. His hand, which had been holding Mo Yi’s wrist, tightened even more in front of He Jiajia.
He immediately spoke up in place of Mo Yi, “He’s fine. If Yiyi doesn’t want to walk anymore, I can carry him.”
With that, he directly grabbed the backpack behind Mo Yi and put it on his own back.
Bai Cheng: Huh, love rival? No competition at all.
Bai Cheng doesn’t seem to realize that if he helped Mo Yi with his homework, he’d be able to stick to him a lot more. It would also give He Jiajia less chances, but I hope the girl gets rewarded for her kindness.
Thank you for the chapter!
Dude what competition? They are already married with certificate and everything!! Even the house!!!
