Chapter 187

888's reply confirmed Ye Mo's guess, stating. "[Liu Yeqiu is unwilling to divorce Pang Xiuying because if they divorce, the fault lies with him, and according to their Pang Xiuying agreement, he would have to leave with nothing...]"

But why would Liu Yeqiu agree?

So he's been trying to delay the divorce, and it's dragged on until now.

From the information provided by 888, Ye Mo noticed something subtle and strange. She pondered, "[The fault for the divorce lies with Liu Yeqiu. No matter how much he drags things out, the divorce will eventually happen...]"

At this point, Ye Mo's heart stirred slightly, and he asked 888: "[Did Liu Yeqiu do something?]"

[Host, you're so smart!] 888's tone was full of praise and pride. [You actually guessed that Liu Yeqiu was up to no good!]

Ye Mo: [It's not that I'm smart, I just don't mind speculating about someone like him with the greatest malice.]

Since Liu Yeqiu really doesn't want a divorce, he will definitely try every means to prevent it, and he will definitely do something to avoid it.

"So, what did Liu Yeqiu do?" she asked.

888 said: [Liu Yeqiu wants Pang Xiuying to cheat on him too... Pang Xiuying's current boyfriend is someone he specifically hired to catch Pang Xiuying cheating!]

If he keeps delaying the divorce, then their marriage continues to exist. During this period, if Pang Xiuying has intimate relationships with other men, it can naturally be considered infidelity.

If both of them cheat on each other, then they'll both be at fault, and he naturally won't have to leave with nothing.

[... He also had the man take photos of him and Pang Xiuying in bed, hoping to ruin Pang Xiuying's reputation.]

Upon hearing Ye Mo's brows immediately furrowed.

"... What's wrong?" He Mingzhang, who had been watching her closely, noticed the change in her expression and asked.

Ye Mo glanced in Pang Xiuying's direction, and seeing that she hadn't noticed him, he gestured for He Mingzhang to be quiet.

"Shh..." She He Mingzhang and whispered, "I think I saw someone I know. She seems to have encountered a conman. I want to check on her."

At this moment, the man opposite Pang Xiuying seemed to say something that made her laugh, and she immediately burst into laughter, her eyebrows and eyes filled with joy.

Ye Mo listened as 888 told him about the man opposite Pang Xiuying.

The man's surname was Wang, and his given name was Wang Tao. His profession was a special service worker in a high-end establishment; to put it simply, he was a "gigolo," specializing in serving all kinds of wealthy women.

Liu Yeqiu hired him specifically to seduce Pang Xiuying.

Pang Xiuying met Wang Tao when she was having a major falling out with Liu Yeqiu. He was gentle and considerate, and he brought great comfort to Pang Xiuying, who was exhausted from her divorce at the time.

As the saying goes, a person is most vulnerable when they are most likely to open their heart to others. So, it wasn't long before Pang Xiuying fell in love with this man and they became boyfriend and girlfriend.

Now, Pang Xiuying has clearly already fallen into the trap, and hasn't noticed anything amiss.

After hearing the whole story, Ye Mo: "... This is a bit of a shock."

Before leaving the restaurant, Ye Mo went to the restroom.

As she washed her hands, someone stood next to her. Ye Mo looked up and happened to make eye contact with the person in the mirror.

Immediately, a hint of surprise flashed in Ye Mo's eyes, because this person was none other than Pang Xiuying, whom she had just met.

However, to Ye Mo's surprise, Pang Xiuying looked delighted when she saw her. "Miss Ye?"

Ye Mo wasn't surprised that Pang Xiuying recognized her, after all, she was a celebrity. She just didn't expect Pang Xiuying to be so pleasantly surprised to see her.

However, Pang Xiuying's words quickly answered her question.

"Miss Ye, I never expected to see you here! My daughter is a huge fan of yours!" Pang Xiuying's expression was a mixture of surprise and delight.

After saying that, she seemed to remember something, patted her forehead, and laughed, "Look at me, I was so happy to see you that I forgot to introduce myself... My name is Pang Xiuying."

Ye Mo was surprised, "Miss Pang already has a daughter?"

I didn't tell her about the 888.

Speaking of her daughter, Pang Xiuying's face lit up with a smile. She said, "My daughter is already seven years old and is currently in second grade..."

At this point, she looked at Ye Mo somewhat shyly and asked, "I wonder if it's convenient for you, Miss Ye? I'd like to ask for your autograph... My daughter really likes you; her room is covered with your posters. She would be so happy to have your autograph."

[... The reason Liu Yue plastered the room with posters of you, host, is because she thinks you are exceptionally beautiful and hopes that looking at your face every day will make her as beautiful as you.] 888 said.

Ye Mo's first reaction: [So, she's a fan of my looks?]

This conclusion is not surprising at all. After all, children at that age don't understand Star Chasing; most of them simply like pretty people.

Ye Mo looked around and suggested to Pang Xiuying, "How about we go outside to talk?"

Upon hearing this, Pang Xiuying realized that the two of them were in the restroom, and an annoyed expression appeared on her face—the restroom was definitely not a place to talk, and who asks for autographs here?

"Yes, we really should go out and talk about it..." she said hastily.

The two changed locations to talk.

After leaving the restroom, the two went to the front desk. Pang Xiuying asked the receptionist for a piece of paper and watched Ye Mo write a signature for Liu Yue. As she looked at it, she couldn't help but smile warmly as she thought of her daughter's clever and quirky nature.

"My Yueyue always says that you are beautiful, Miss Ye, and that she hopes she can be as beautiful as you when she grows up," Pang Xiuying said with a smile.

Ye Mo handed her the autograph and said, "With a mother as understanding as Miss Pang, I think Yueyue must be a lovely and clever little girl."

Seeing Pang Xiuying carefully fold the signed paper and put it in her bag, Ye Mo sighed inwardly. He couldn't remain indifferent after all, and said to Pang Xiuying, "Miss Pang, you should be careful of the people around you lately..."

Pang Xiuying was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

Ye Mo looked at her and said, "You've got a new boyfriend lately, haven't you?"

Pang Xiuying wasn't stupid. Hearing Ye Mo's words, she instantly understood what Ye Mo meant and asked, "You mean there's something wrong with my new boyfriend?"

Ye Mo said directly, "Don't you find it strange? Why does he understand you so well? He knows what you like and dislike. From the moment you met, everything he's done has been to your liking. There's not a single thing he's done that you're unhappy with. It's as if he was made for you by God..."

Ye Mo's words were spot on, and Pang Xiuying's expression became dazed after hearing them.

Yes, why is that? Why does my new boyfriend know me so well?

She asked herself the question.

Looking back, Pang Xiuying had also found it strange, because from the moment they met, her new boyfriend seemed to understand her very well. Everything he did and his personality and habits were very similar to hers.

Although she found it strange, Pang Xiuying didn't think much of it, simply believing it might be fate bestowed upon her by heaven. After all, who would expect someone to plan so meticulously, hiring someone to seduce them?

She thought that God had taken pity on her and, after she met such a scumbag as Liu Yeqiu, had blessed her with a good marriage to make up for it.
