Would you like to go back to sleep for a while?\" Aqiao brought over a plate of pastries and suggested gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting down her cup, Mo Yu massaged her temples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh,\" she scoffed with a mocking chuckle that dissipated into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the empty room, she was alone; insomnia had long become a habit for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has he not returned yet?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without needing to specify a name, Aqiao knew exactly whom she referred to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting the plate aside, Aqiao silently stepped back, \"No, but the master called, he said...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid-sentence, she suddenly became hesitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of hope ignited in Mo Yu’s eyes, \"What did he say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The master said that the company is busy, and he has to travel for work. He won’t be back for a while,\" Aqiao relayed the message in one breath, stealing a glance at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Travel for work?\" Mo Yu repeated to herself, as the hope in her eyes slowly burst like bubbles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had heard these words countless times before. Over the years, he had always used his work as an excuse, so busy that he even forgot her birthday and their wedding anniversary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam, since the eldest miss went to the capital and the master is preoccupied with the company’s affairs, naturally he will be busier. Please, don’t overthink it,\" Aqiao tentatively consoled her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Yu curled her lips into a scornful smile, \"You don’t need to comfort me; he simply has no intention of coming back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, it was always her who took the initiative to visit him at the office, or after much persuasion that he would reluctantly come home. He had gotten used to it, and so had she.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aqiao, do you think I haven’t been good enough to him?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him, she had set aside her pride and given her all—was that still not enough?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aqiao replied, \"Madam, the master is just naturally colder and not good with words. You’ve been so good to him; he must feel it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I bore him two children, yet he has never taken the initiative to show concern, not even a smile at Mo Chen’s birth,\" Mo Yu clenched her fists, the anger long suppressed in her heart edging toward a breaking point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet that wretched girl, he doted on her as if she were his prized treasure. Even though he did not love that woman, why did he shower her child with such affection?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All his tenderness and fatherly love were reserved for that wretched girl, while Mo Su and Mo Chen received none.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she not hate, how could she tolerate her existence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The oppressive gloom lingered around, and Aqiao could feel the pressure too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remembering the news she had just received, she subtly changed the subject, \"Madam, there was a call just now. There’s news from the capital; the young master has gone to stay with Ye Jiuliang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you say?\" Mo Yu’s face turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The young master was driven out by the eldest miss. I heard from Alei that the eldest miss took away his bank card and cell phone. Ye Jiuliang encountered the young master on the road and took him back.\" Aqiao reported truthfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Yu frowned. Mo Su had indeed been ruthless in driving Mo Chen out. Even if it was to discipline him, she shouldn’t have taken away his bank card, that was too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing Mo Yu’s visible anger, Aqiao spoke in defense of Mo Su, \"Madam, you don’t need to worry. The young master is, after all, the eldest miss’s biological brother. She wouldn’t truly be so heartless. Perhaps having the young master stay at Ye Jiuliang’s place is also within the eldest miss’s plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s exactly what I’m most worried about.\" Mo Yu’s eyes darkened. Since childhood, Mo Su had been raised by the old master and was extremely similar to him in every respect, ready to sacrifice everything to achieve her goals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be safe, she still needed to talk to Mo Su.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chu Chen, if you keep this up, I won’t be polite anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xinuo was pinned down on the sofa, curling up her body, her pale shoulders inciting ravenous thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Chen cracked a smile and said, \"How will you not be polite, hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you going to get up or not? If you don’t, I’m going to kick you.\" Gu Xinuo cried out in exasperation, her face slightly reddening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian entered, witnessing the scene on the sofa, he instantly felt bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand to cover his eyes, \"Can you two not be so careless about the influence you’re having in broad daylight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Chen’s face darkened. He pulled on Gu Xinuo’s collar, \"Ji Mingqian, the hell don’t you knock before entering?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The door wasn’t even properly closed. How is that my fault?\" Ji Mingqian dropped his hand, retorting with complete conviction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xinuo’s face warmed slightly, and she raised a hand to smooth her slightly disheveled hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian walked over, pointing at the two of them and scoffed, \"Irresponsible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Chen grabbed a cushion and threw it at him, \"Get out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mood-killer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian easily caught it, found a spot, and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he began to speak, he was interrupted by the sound of a ringing phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Chen picked up the phone, which displayed an unfamiliar number on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brows slightly furrowed, he pressed answer, and a gentle female voice came through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, may I speak with Mr. Chu Chen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Chen grunted in acknowledgment, and the person on the other end continued, \"Mr. Chu, hello. A lady named Mo Lingling asked us to call you. She’s injured and currently at our hospital. Could you please come over?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Chen’s expression suddenly darkened, his voice dropping several degrees, \"The name of the hospital?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving the address, Chu Chen hung up, a low pressure emanating from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Gu Xinuo and Ji Mingqian sensed his anger. Gu Xinuo asked softly, \"Achen, who called?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mo Lingling has shown up.\" Chu Chen’s face showed his displeasure, his voice grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian reacted with surprise, \"What’s the situation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would Mo Lingling voluntarily show up at this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be another trap?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The hospital called. They said Mo Lingling was injured and asked me to go over,\" Chu Chen explained tersely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xinuo put on her jacket, \"Regardless of whether it’s true or not, let’s go and see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Mo Lingling was willing to show up suddenly, there must be a catch. They could figure it out after capturing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian and Chu Chen exchanged glances, then stood up simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>",1310,"2026-05-30T05:19:05.472Z","2026-06-01T04:30:24.264Z",1,"novelbin.me","d03e8d6d99b113a779233370cb9313dca81e4945fb4a0e9563fe8c520dd499a4","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-523","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-521",877,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-cover.jpg"]
