Chapter 515, Grandpa will make things clear to you (first update)

The hands encircling his waist tightened continuously, bewilderment flickered in Li Mochan’s dark pupils.

He raised his hand to touch her head, his fingertips weaving through her hair, as his clear and cold voice spilled from his throat, "What’s wrong?"

Was there a problem with those three words?

Ye Jiuliang remained silent, burying her head deeply in his neck, her eyes feeling somewhat sore and swollen.

If only he had regained his memory, that would have been wonderful.

His occasional words often made her feel like he had regained his memory, but in truth, those were all her illusions, and such a psychological gap was really distressing.

Li Mochan furrowed his brows, his fingertips lightly scratching the back of her neck, "Why aren’t you speaking?"

Ye Jiuliang turned her head, her lips skewed into a smile on a whim, she proposed, "Let’s go to the racecourse this afternoon?"

"Racecourse?" Li Mochan looked down at her, a faint smile appearing on his lips, "Do you want to go horseback riding?"

Ye Jiuliang hummed a response, "It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Wangcai."

Mentioning the name she gave to the horse, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Li Mochan looked puzzled, "Wangcai?"

"It’s the name I gave to a horse," she explained.

"..."

Naming a horse that, how novel.

Ye Jiuliang released her hands, finding a comfortable angle to snuggle up on the sofa.

"Do you want some juice?" Li Mochan sat beside her, picking up the juice from the table, intending to open it.

Ye Jiuliang nodded, her lips curving into a pleased smile, accepting the juice he handed over, biting down on the straw.

Footsteps approached, and the next moment, Wei Bei’s figure appeared at the door.

"Ms. Mo, please," Wei Bei stepped aside, his smile forced and insincere.

Mo Su walked in with a straight posture, her gaze falling upon the two seated on the sofa, a dark and bizarre light flashed deep in her eyes.

Knowing Li Mochan’s temperament, Mo Su didn’t beat around the bush in front of him, and got straight to the point, "Mr. Li, there’s a cooperation proposal I would like to discuss with you, are you interested?"

Li Mochan did not lift his head, his gaze still fixed on Ye Jiuliang, "Are you interested?"

After he spoke, the temperature around dropped to freezing point.

Mo Su’s expression darkened slightly, suppressing the disdain in her eyes.

Using the future of MK Group to gain favor with Ye Jiuliang, should she say that Ye Jiuliang is a femme fatale, or should she say that he, Li Mochan, has been blinded by these trivial affections and love.

Ye Jiuliang’s indifferent eyes swept towards Mo Su, her tone lazy, "Guests should be treated with courtesy. Ms. Mo has been standing for a while; anyone unaware might think our MK Group is inhospitable. Please, have a seat first."

In just a few words, the roles of host and guest were explicitly clear.

"Wei Bei, have the assistant bring Ms. Mo a cup of coffee," she instructed.

"Yes, Madam," Wei Bei emphasized, deliberately enunciating the word "Madam" strongly to make sure Mo Su heard it clearly.

This Ms. Mo must also have a problem with her intelligence. Well aware that their master and madam were already legally married, yet she still persisted in calling her "Miss Ye." It wouldn’t have been too much even to call her Mrs. Li.

Every time they met, she was accustomed to ignoring Ye Jiuliang, as if she were transparent, clearly intentional provocation.

Leaving the half-finished bottle of juice on the table, Ye Jiuliang sat upright, her tone indifferent, "What is this cooperation Ms. Mo mentions? Feel free to share."

Mo Su smiled faintly, her words sharp, "Can Miss Ye represent MK Group?"

"I haven’t really thought about that question carefully," Ye Jiuliang said, resting her chin on one hand, suddenly tilting her head to look at the man beside her.

"Can I?"

Her fair cheeks flushed pink, inciting in Li Mochan a flurry of restless desires.

As if bewitched, he reached out and gently pinched her cheek, his gaze carrying a deep tenderness, "Whatever you like, you can."

Those six brief words, like a devastating blow, hit Mo Su’s face hard and fast.

She had intended to embarrass Ye Jiuliang, but hadn’t expected to disgust herself instead.

Mo Su’s smile stiffened as she tugged at the corner of her mouth.

The man’s fingertips caressed her face, tickling her, Ye Jiuliang swatted Li Mochan’s hand away with a warning look that lacked any real threat.

"Miss Mo, can we now talk about your proposal for cooperation?"

"Of course," Mo Su said, spreading her hands as Mengzhu presented the documents with both hands.

Mo Su placed the black folder on the table and pushed it toward Ye Jiuliang, "I hear MK Group is planning to develop the Wild Area in the southern central part of M country?"

Ye Jiuliang raised an eyebrow but didn’t reply directly.

She reached out to take the folder, flipping through its contents.

In the days when Li Mochan had lost his memory, many company documents had been signed by her, and she had also heard Wei Bei mention the development plan for that Wild Area.

In less than a minute, Ye Jiuliang had roughly finished reviewing the content of the documents.

She curled her lips, her mischievous smile tinged with a hint of playfulness, "The terms of this cooperation are quite interesting. Doesn’t Miss Mo know that if you want to cooperate, you must show the sincerity to do so?"

The terms on the documents seemed to benefit MK Group more, but in the dark, Tengyue Group also took no small advantage. The benefits were split equally—whose face did she think she had?

It was laughable.

"As for sincerity, I believe Tengyue Group has shown quite a bit of it. If Miss Ye is dissatisfied with any part of the cooperation, she can point it out, and we can discuss it slowly," Mo Su replied.

With a "snap," Ye Jiuliang closed the folder and tossed it back onto the table, speaking in a lukewarm tone, "What if I say I’m dissatisfied with every part of it?"

Mo Su didn’t get annoyed either and met her gaze fearlessly, "Miss Ye wouldn’t still be upset over what happened last time at Li Mansion, would she?"

"The business world is like a battlefield, and the affairs of business are not child’s play—one must think twice."

Ye Jiuliang chuckled softly, her smile not reaching her eyes, "It’s precisely because I’ve thought twice that I find every part of this document unsatisfactory. Does Miss Mo really think she can be the one calling the shots?"

"I don’t quite understand what you mean by that, Miss Ye," Mo Su said, her eyes darkening, feigning confusion.

Ye Jiuliang leaned back, her legs crossed elegantly, one hand casually resting on her knee, as her boss-like aura erupted in full force.

"It’s okay if you don’t understand—I’ll explain it clearly to you," Ye Jiuliang said.

Li Mochan picked up the juice she had drunk from and took a sip, his lips curbing a smile.

"Miss Mo must be well aware of the loopholes in the terms of the contract; surely, you don’t need me to point out each one, do you?" Ye Jiuliang’s eyes shot toward her as cold as stars, her voice cool.

"Tengyue Group’s strength is indeed impressive, but in front of me, even if you’re a dragon, you must coil up and stay put. Right now, it’s Tengyue Group who is eager to seek cooperation with MK Group. The initiative for this cooperation still lies with us at MK Group. Miss Mo better recognize this fact clearly," Ye Jiuliang stated.

Mo Su’s face gradually shifted in color, her thin lips pressed ever tighter as if she were desperately holding back her emotions.

A sharp-tongued brat.

In such a short time, it was impossible for little Miss Ye Jiuliang to spot all the flaws; she was definitely bluffing. Mo Su needed to stay calm.
