Imperial Treasure-Chapter 948 - 571: Nightfall

------

It seems the way things are unfolding is not quite right. Mo Ke’s words today are quite deep or sharp.

Or perhaps they are full of meaning.

As for what was just said now...

It shocked many people.

Suffering from a terminal illness, with days numbered?

Especially now, as Mo Ke leans lightly against the table, with a pale complexion and a weak expression, looking frail yet pretending to smile...

It makes people’s hearts ache tremendously.

Beast! Brute!

What are you plotting!

Many people looked at Bai Yuanxiu.

Others looked at Bai Renyuan.

Obviously, these two have no good relationship with Mo Ke, so it’s not about finding someone to accompany Mo Ke to fulfill life’s regrets.

Then there is only one possibility.

Ulterior motives.

This Mo Ke comes from a terrifying background, perhaps even surpassing the Gu Family, which is certain. The Bai Family brothers might be using Mo Ke for marriage alliances to gain some benefits for certain purposes.

This is not impossible.

People looked at the always refined and handsome faces of the Bai Family brothers.

Is it a case of outwardly splendid but inwardly rotten?

For the first time in his life, Bai Renyuan truly felt the disdainful looks from others. Usually, which one of those students wasn’t...

Suddenly, he realized that the people present here were nothing like those ordinary students. In these people’s eyes, he’s just a university student from Qing University. Despite some background, he’s merely a former Bai Family member,

In their eyes, the real Bai Family members are only from Bai Yuanxiu’s line; they are a collateral line. In their eyes, there’s only the successful Bai Yuanxiu, and not Bai Renyuan!

Bai Renyuan pressed his lips together, eyes filled with humiliation, and also a hint of coldness.

However, Yhan Qingwu, Su Zimu, and Flower Demon’s first reaction was -- Is it true?

The second reaction was -- Does Sui Yi know?

The third reaction -- If she knows, then she will definitely...

"Let me know when, I’ll go."

Sui Yi said indifferently, only familiar people could see a tinge of helplessness in her eyes.

I knew it! Gong Jiu clenched his fist, knowing that Sui Yi only falls for this!

This Mo Ke is indeed a cunning person.

Flower Demon looked at Yhan Qingwu with a half-smile, the latter blushing slightly, well, it seemed she also used this method when she was terminally ill before...

After receiving Sui Yi’s response, regardless of others’ attitudes, Mo Ke just nodded slightly, "Alright, then I’m leaving."

Mo Ke seemed more hurried than everyone expected, actually planning to leave now, but before leaving, she turned and glanced at Gu Sansi.

"Sansi sis."

Gu Sansi looked at her; in fact, she might be the calmest person present, although she should have been involved in all this.

Two young women, once having a fate-tied connection, silently gazed at each other.

Mo Ke suddenly showed a faint smile.

"Sansi sis can see through others’ delusions and false hopes, but can’t you see through your own? Or do you simply not care?"

"Clearly, you persuade others to cherish life..."

"Now, you’ve disappointed me."

--------

If the unexpected event at the research meeting was a grand climax, then the confrontation in the meeting room was a mini-climax.

But no one expected that after Mo Ke left, there would be another grand climax.

This climax was when an extraordinarily tall and handsome man, about one meter eighty-nine, walked in with some people and directly faced Bai Yuanxiu, casually informing him that the official had just appointed his responsibilities to someone else, and hoped he would handle his on-duty affairs well...

"On-duty affairs," a word used very aptly!

Undoubtedly hinting Bai Yuanxiu not to overextend, or else...

After everyone left.

In a solitary meeting room.

Bai Yuanxiu stood in front of the bright glass window, the light shining on him so transparently.

"Do you know why someone took away the power I just got?"

He turned his head and looked at Bai Renyuan, his gaze extremely gentle and clear.

Bai Renyuan’s body was tense, and he said, "Mo Ke’s revenge?"

"Partly, and the other part... is a warning from those old seniors."

"Since they can give it to me, they can also take it back. That’s what they want to tell me."

Bai Yuanxiu smiled slightly, "But what surprises me is... the person who came forward was Jiang Bielin."

The Jiang family’s most anticipated eldest son.

Actually took the initiative to snipe at me.

How interesting.

"Cousin, it’s my fault," Bai Renyuan lowered his head.

Bai Yuanxiu was somewhat surprised, then shook his head with a smile, walking towards him, step by step.

A hand placed on Bai Renyuan’s shoulder, fingers flicking off the dust on his shoulder.

"No, you’re not at fault, it’s just a coincidence. You looked quite aggrieved today as well... go home."
