Chapter 791: Fourth from the Right
“h.e.l.lo, Mr. Mo…” a female teacher said politely.
Mo Yixuan asked doubtfully, “Ms. Yuan, may I know who the fourth woman on the right on the photograph you just uploaded on your Moments is?”
“The fourth woman on the right?” Ms. Yuan repeated in confusion.
“Yes, the fourth woman on the right,” Mo Yixuan said. He sounded very certain of himself.
“Alright, give me a moment.”
Time ticked by slowly and Mo Yixuan started to pace around this luxurious hotel room as though he had forgotten all about the woman who now sat on the bed glaring at him.
He frowned and his eyes were filled with confusion but at the same time, he felt very hopeful. Ms. Yuan was Yuan Yuan’s art teacher and he didn’t expect to see a woman who looked so much like his ex-wife in the photograph that she had uploaded.
She came back to the line 10 seconds later and said, “Mr. Mo, I think the woman you’re referring to was from another school. I’m really sorry but I don’t know her.”
“You don’t know her?” Mo Yixuan asked in surprise.
“Yes, I don’t know her. The teachers who attended this training were from all across the country, so I wasn’t acquainted with many of them,” Ms. Yuan said apologetically.
“Could you please check with the other teachers or the organizer of this event? I’d really like more information on the teacher who was the fourth from the right,” Mo Yixuan said excitedly.
He didn’t know what was wrong with him. He knew that she was already dead and was no longer in this world but when he saw this woman who looked so much like his ex-wife, he had a sudden urge to find out more about her.
“Sure, I’ll help you find out more information about her. However, it’s pretty late now, so most people have already retired for the night. I’ll probably only be able to get back to you tomorrow,” she said.
Mo Yixuan said, “Thanks, Ms. Yuan. I owe you a meal.”
“Thanks!” Ms. Yuan said before she ended the call.
The room was so silent that only their breathing sounds could be heard.
Yun Huimei continued sitting on the bed and looked at Mo Yixuan in shock and confusion.
She didn’t manage to overhear the conversation but she knew that this man wanted a teacher to look for a woman in a photograph.
A woman?
Yun Huimei felt bad when she realized that it had been a woman that he was looking for but she felt even worse when he took off his night robe and changed back into his clothes. She watched in horror as he put on his s.h.i.+rt, trousers, jacket… and all his other clothes one at a time.
“Mr. Mo, where are you going?” Yun Huimei asked anxiously.
She quickly got off the bed and didn’t even bother wearing slippers as she tugged on his hand.
They were already in the hotel room, so where did he want to go now that it was so late at night?
Was he about to leave her all alone here?
Mo Yixuan frowned and a flash of annoyance crossed his eyes.
“I have to attend to some matters. I’ll contact you some other time,” he said. Then, he shrugged her hand off him.
“But it’s so late,” Yun Huimei said insistently. She stood in front of him and prevented him from leaving.
How could he do this to her? How could he bring her to this room then leave before anything had happened? What was she going to do here all alone in this room?
“I already told you that I have something, didn’t you understand what I said earlier?” Mo Yixuan snapped back in irritation and his face darkened. He pushed the woman aside, then opened the door without any hesitation and strode out.
Yun Huimei remained all alone in the room, her face pale.
