Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian
chapter-769

Yi Jingxi grew increasingly uneasy, especially when the car reached the outskirts of An City.

He tried to recall restaurants in the area, but there didn’t seem to be anything good around here.

“May I ask where we are going for a meal?” Yi Jingxi broke the silence in the car once again.

“What? Are you afraid that we will sell you?” Brenner Hayley who was sitting in the front had finally said something but didn’t turn around and continued to play with her phone. “Or is it because Mr. Yi has done too many immoral things and is scared of retribution?”

The expression on Yi Jingxi’s handsome face changed slightly. He finally realized that his intuition was right. “If you have an objection against my person, you can stop the car. I will still work with you on the handover of Yi Group.”

“Only a few words and Mr. Yi is unhappy,” the woman said as she gave a low laugh. “That’s to be expected. Since snatching someone else’s company, you’ve grown used to getting everything you want. How can you tolerate an insult like this?”

“Stop the car.” Yi Jingxi ordered coldly.

Not only did the chauffeur show no intention to stop, but he drove into a small road on the side.

Yi Jingxi understood at this moment the other party had more in mind than a simple meal. He instinctively reached to open the door but the assistant who had been silent beside him suddenly grabbed his arm deftly.

“Let go!” Yi Jingxi sent a punch in his direction.

The assistant dodged it quickly and used his leg to kick Yi Jingxi’s stomach before quickly holding Yi Jingxi down on the chair.

“What do you want?” Yi Jingxi roared in anger. From the exchange just now, he clearly understood this person beside him knew martial arts and was very good at it.

This was a trap, which was why Brenner Hayley did not sit in the back. As for Zeng Zhun who was following behind and made no movements, he must be under the control of the people in his car. “Who in the world are you people? I don’t think I have offended you all.”

“Looks like you’ve done too many immoral things. You don’t even know whom you offended.” Brenner Hayley took out a lady’s cigarette from a golden cigarette box, lit it, and inhaled lightly before leisurely exhaling.

Yi Jingxi stared at her side profile with wide eyes. From this angle, the woman’s features looked exotic and beautiful, and also slightly familiar, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.

“You are Chu Lei’s son, aren’t you? A woman like your mother doesn’t give birth to any decent person,” Brenner Hayley said lightly.

“Shut up. You better watch what you’re saying,” Yi Jingxi warned fiercely. He struggled to get up, but his whole person was pushed down so firmly that he couldn’t budge.

“Watch what I’m saying,” the woman snorted lightly. Suddenly, she said, “Stop the car.”

The car stopped immediately. He didn’t know where they were. It was a deserted piece of land surrounded by overgrown grass.

The assistant dragged Yi Jingxi down from the car.

Yi Jingxi got up and wanted to run, but the chauffeur and assistant pressed him down again. His face was pressed against the ground and all he could inhale was dust.

He had never been more pathetic in his whole life. He was so angry that his veins were popping. “I’ll not let you off. This is An City and you outsiders won’t get to do as you please.”

“Who is the one doing as he pleases?” Brenner Hayley walked to stand in front of him and looked down on him, her tone cold, “Raise your head and look at me.”

Yi Jingxi struggled to raise his head and meet the woman’s sharp look.

Brenner Hayley stared at him and smiled. “You spent so much effort to intercept what I’d sent to my daughter and forged letters to reply to me, causing my daughter and me to miss each other for many years. Now that I’m standing in front of you, you really don’t recognize me at all?”

Yi Jingxi jerked. The look in his eyes gradually turned into shock and disbelief. “You are… Mo Jin.”

His head buzzed. He remembered when gifts from Luosang’s mother were received, he asked people to investigate. He only knew the other person was from Luxemburg’s Morrison Clan, then he investigated Luosang’s mother’s name. It was Mo Jin. “No that’s wrong. Mo Jin’s name overseas is not Brenner Hayley.”

“You should have investigated more thoroughly. Brenner Hayley is the name I use in North Europe.” Mo Jin’s eyes gradually turned cold as ice. “My daughter is indeed the same as me. We both have terrible taste when we were young. Look at you. Other than a passable face, you have no other merits.”

Yi Jingxi instinctively dug his fingers into the dirt on the ground.

He lowered his head slowly. He knew that he did many things that hurt Luosang, but he still loved her.

Maybe he was scared if she found her family, and her family looked down on him like this, he would not be able to have her anymore. That was why he made mistakes, one after another.

“You dare to do it, but you don’t dare to raise your head and look at me?”

Mo Jin was full of sarcasm. “Whatever feud you have with Xu Zhunxuan, I don’t care. But you used such a despicable method to snatch away Luosang’s company. She was still a young lady, but you drove her to a wall and she couldn’t even stay in An City anymore. She was just a girl. Imagine what kind of life she led after that. You have parents too. You knew that she didn’t have a mum since she was a child, yet you created misunderstandings between mother and daughter. I’ve met countless people in my lifetime, yet you’re the worst scum I’ve seen.”

Yi Jingxi’s eyes welled up suddenly, perhaps because of the dust, or some other reason.

He didn’t want to drive her so far, but he didn’t expect Zhong Yi to do so many hurtful things to Luosang behind his back. But no matter what, it was his own foolishness that gave Zhong Yi the opening. He had nothing to defend himself with.

“You’re not going to try to explain yourself?” Mo Jin asked coldly.

“Everything you said is right. I’m scum.” Yi Jingxi admitted, his tone self-deprecating. “But all of this was because of Xu Zhengxuan.”

“Don’t look for excuses for your own selfishness. Xu Zhengxuan might not have been very good, but he is at least better than you. You don’t have a baseline at all.” Mo Jin got angrier and angrier because of his excuse. She came forward and stepped down on the back of his hand with her heel. The flesh sunk in and it was so painful that his body shook, but he didn’t utter a word.

No matter how painful it was, it hurt less than his heart.

“What did Luosang ever do wrong? You cheated her feelings, snatched away her company, and even caused her to quit school. Did the Xu family kill your whole family, or did Xu Zhengxuan rape your mother?”

“Shut up.” Yi Jingxi’s eyes shot up suddenly like a lion who had his tail stepped on.

Mo Jin was momentarily taken aback, then she smiled. “I guess that’s right, Chu Lei is shameless. She probably didn’t need Xu Zhengxuan to rape her, she would be quite happy to oblige.”

“I forbid you from insulting my mother,” Yi Jingxi roared in rage, his whole body trembled with anger. He struggled to get up, but he couldn’t move while being held down.

“How did I insult her?” Mo Jin laughed coldly. “That’s not right, you’re even older than Luosang. Are you Chu Lei’s biological son?”

“Of course I am,” Yi Jingxi’s said angrily.
