I don't know if it was because the sound was so shocking that it made me shudder, or because he was Yu Mo Yi, but when I raised my head to look at the two biting cold lights, I just stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do. I didn't even notice that the pen had slipped from my hand.

Yu Mo walked toward me with a sullen expression, then took out a bank card from his pocket.

"This is the one hundred thousand you borrowed from the company. In the future, you can deduct it from your salary every month until it's paid off."

Yu Mo said this in a very solemn tone, as if I were really an employee of his company, and as if I had borrowed the money from Cary, I began to get confused.

Seeing that I was unmoved, Yu Mo couldn't help but reprimand me again.

"Gu Yan, can you be more sane? Hurry up and take it. Give your mother the surgery fee."

I was awakened by his scolding. Work was just an excuse, Yu Mo — who had come to help me in the dark. I nodded and thanked him gratefully, then took the card and was about to leave.

Zhao Xuefang, who had been silent all this time, shouted "Wait a moment" and blocked my path horizontally.

Seeing the house fly up again, Zhao Xuefang immediately revealed her true form and said sarcastically.

Gu Yan, this person came just as you were about to sign the contract. He must have eavesdropped on our conversation, so he pretended to be kind and gave you a hundred thousand yuan. But in reality, he has his eyes on your house.

Gu Chengbei also opened his mouth to question Yu Mo Yi, "This is a matter of our own, you, an outsider, mustn't get involved."

Yu Mo's unsmiling expression became more and more serious and terrifying. His sharp eyes aimed at Gu Cheng Bei and Zhao Xi Fang, sneering at them without revealing any traces of it.

"I only came now because Gu Yan borrowed money from the company and could only get it after going through all the procedures. The reason we did that was also because we were a formal company, unlike the idle people in society who didn't care about the rules and regulations for the sake of benefits, and didn't even care about basic morals."

Yu Mo Yi's words directly exposed the little Jiu Jiu in Gu Cheng Bei and Zhao Xuefang's hearts. The two's faces were extremely ugly, but Yu Mo Yi did not stop and continued to target Gu Cheng Bei.

"What I think of as a friend of mine is a person who is going through thick and thin together. If that's not the case, then at most, they're related by blood in a legal sense. Also, I'm not an 'outsider', I'm Gu Yan's boss, Yu Mo Yi."

Gu Cheng Bei and Zhao Xuefang were so angry that they wanted to retort, but when they heard the two words "Yu Mo Yi", their chests rose and fell without being able to utter a single word. Then, they used their eyes to ask for confirmation.

I coldly gave them a 'satisfied' answer. "That's right, he is Mu Hai's cousin."

A trace of cowardice flashed in the eyes of Gu Chengbei and Zhao Xianfang, and most of their arrogance had disappeared as well. The two of them took the house transfer contract and left angrily.

After the money was paid, my mother was scheduled to undergo craniotomy the next morning. During that time, Yu Mo Yi accompanied me to see a doctor to find out about my illness.

When I was finally free, I struggled to open my mouth. "Why did you lend me money again?"

Yu Mo frowned. "I never lie when I do things. To be honest, I came here to get you to sign the 'no more pestering' agreement. However, I happened to hear your conversation with your uncle and aunt, so I changed my mind."

I thanked him. "Thank you for helping me. I will repay you with the interest."

Yu Mo Yi said, "Forget about the interest. Come to my house tonight and cook a meal for me."

I wondered why he had made such a request, and I was embarrassed to think of the time we had both been in the hotel.

After a moment, I thought of Yu Mo helping again and again. Now, why can't I make a meal? So I nodded.

But soon, I understood the real reason for his actions.

In the evening, I told the nurse to take care of my mother for me, so I went straight to his house in Yu Mo Yi's car.

As soon as Yu Mo asked me to cook a bowl of egg and tomato noodles, I figured that he must have gotten tired of the fish and meat and wanted to eat at home. He didn't know how to cook, so he had to ask me to join him.

I set my heart at rest and went to the kitchen, but when the noodles were ready, he brought me another bottle of red wine.

Yu Mo Yi asked for my opinion. "Have a drink?"

My heart, which I had just put down, tightened again. It was said that wine was the best flavor. Erotic, Yu Mo — what is your intention in doing this?

I replied cautiously, "No."

Yu Mo didn't force me, but poured himself a cup of red wine and ate some noodles. He picked up the cup of red wine and drained it in one gulp.

"Do you feel that the current me is as unfathomable as a lunatic?"

Yu Mo's words struck a chord in my mind, but I couldn't admit it. For a moment, I didn't know how to reply.

But Yu Mo Yi didn't seem to need my response. He immediately added, "Today is my birthday."

I looked up and finally understood why Yu Mo was eating the egg and tomato noodles, but I was embarrassed that I didn't have time to prepare my present. After thinking for a moment, I sent my blessing in earnest.

"Happy Birthday!"

Yu Mo stared at me. "Thank you."

It was unknown if it was because of the alcohol, but when he said those words, his cold eyes became much warmer, and his gaze was also warm.

I thought about the hotel again and felt my cheeks turn hot. I started to look around the room, but the room was so quiet that even if a needle dropped, it could still be heard.

At that moment, the sound of the door lock turning could be heard. Then, a woman with delicate makeup walked in, pulling a small suitcase with her.
