Chapter 164 Let go of your obsessions and live a good life
In the end, under Feng Jin's deception, Shen Yuepo's attention was diverted once again.
When she came to her senses, Feng Jin had already fallen asleep inside the white jade bracelet.
The next morning.
Shen Yuepo, Xiao Zhengqing, and Xiao Yizhou were having breakfast at the restaurant.
Halfway through the meal, the steward came to announce that someone from the Yu family had arrived.
It was Yu Che who arrived.
He first greeted Xiao Zhengqing and Xiao Yizhou, "Uncle Xiao, Yizhou, good morning."
Then, his gaze turned to Shen Yuepo, his tone tinged with excitement:
“Master Shen, we’ve found the designer who designed our house.”
Shen Yuepo put down the milk cup in her hand and looked at him calmly.
Yu Che continued, "But that person insists on seeing you. We just contacted him last night, and he flew over overnight and is at my house now."
Shen Yuepo nodded slightly and stood up: "Let's go."
She had almost finished eating.
This time, Xiao Yizhou didn't go over. He had almost finished dealing with the Yu family's affairs and needed to attend to his own.
The two soon arrived at the Yu family villa.
In the living room, besides Yu Zhenghong and Mu Ruoyan, there was also a strange young man.
He looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a slender build, and was wearing a simple gray coat and jeans.
He stood alone by the window, his back ramrod straight, yet exuding an indescribable loneliness and tension.
Hearing footsteps, he turned around abruptly.
Shen Yuepo finally met Chen Mo, the man Lin Xiudi loved deeply in her lifetime.
Yu Che whispered quickly in Shen Yuepo's ear:
“We went through a lot of trouble and pulled many strings to finally get his contact information. As soon as he heard it was the Yu family, he immediately hung up and blocked us.”
"After we changed our phone number and sent a text message mentioning Lin Xiudi's name, he took the initiative to contact us. He must have rushed over here without stopping for a moment last night."
Shen Yuepo's gaze fell on Chen Mo's face.
It was a handsome face, but a sleepless night had left his eyes bloodshot and his chin covered in bluish stubble.
When his gaze locked onto Shen Yuepo, he rushed towards her almost without hesitation.
"Are you the one they were talking about, the one who saw through the murderous scheme?" His voice was hoarse, carrying the exhaustion of a sleepless night.
Shen Yuepo looked at him calmly: "It's me."
Chen Mo's eyes were fixed on Shen Yuepo, his gaze like that of a drowning person grasping at the last piece of driftwood.
"thump!"
He suddenly knelt down before Shen Yuepo in front of everyone.
"Mr. Chen!" Yu Che exclaimed.
Yu Zhenghong and Mu Ruoyan were also startled.
The moment Chen Mo knelt down, Shen Yuepo dodged to the side and back, avoiding his kneeling.
She said coldly, "Get to the point. I can't accept this kneeling, and I don't want to shorten my lifespan."
Chen Mo's body froze on the spot.
He raised his head, his bloodshot eyes filled with pain and pleading:
"Master, since you can see the ominous sign, you must also have a way to let me see Xiudi, right? Please let me see Xiudi! Just once! Please grant my request!"
Looking at the overflowing longing in his eyes, Shen Yuepo remained silent for a few seconds before slowly shaking her head:
"Your soul has already returned to the underworld. Forcibly summoning it would disrupt the order of Yin and Yang, which is a grave taboo. I cannot make an exception for you."
The light in Chen Mo's eyes dimmed instantly, as if the last bit of strength had been drained from him, and his shoulders slumped down.
He lowered his head, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.
After a long while, he finally asked, "Then...can I go take a look?"
He looked up, his eyes pleading: "Can I go and see the process of dissolving a ghost marriage?"
This time, Shen Yuepo did not refuse.
She looked at the young man, who was emaciated from longing, and nodded: "Okay."
She paused for a moment, then added:
"However, the time will have to be postponed by one day. Tomorrow at noon, I need to deal with an urgent matter for the Xiao family. Only the day after tomorrow can I deal with the matter of dissolving the ghost marriage."
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Mo immediately said, "It's alright! I'll wait! I've waited so long, one more day won't make a difference."
Shen Yuepo nodded, "Okay."
After finishing her business, she turned and walked towards the door.
Just as she was about to step out of the Yu family's gate, she paused slightly.
She didn't turn around, her cool voice echoing in the quiet living room, reaching Chen Mo's ears: "Chen Mo, you have a day to think it over carefully."
She didn't say exactly what she was thinking, but Chen Mo understood.
He stood still, staring blankly at Shen Yuepo's back.
It seems the Yu family wasn't lying to him; this man truly is capable.
Yu Che quickly followed and escorted Shen Yuepo out.
As they left the Yu family villa, Yu Che couldn't help but ask, "Master Shen, what did you ask Chen Mo to think about?"
Shen Yuepo did not answer immediately.
She looked up at the sky, and the autumn wind ruffled the stray hairs at her temples.
"Let go of your obsession and live a good life..." she whispered, as if answering Yu Che, or as if talking to herself.
She didn't explain further, but silently walked towards the Xiao family's residence.
