    Chapter 141: The Dowry Has Been Given Away

    Jin Mo walked out of the company, the sky still bright.

    Recently, he had been leaving work early to go back and stay with Qin Manwen.

    As soon as he exited the company gate, Zhao Chengxi rushed out from the nearby corner, a look of anger on his face.

    “Jin Mo! You bastard!”

    At the sight of him, Jin Mo immediately took off running.

    “Why are you running?” Zhao Chengxi shouted as he chased after him.

    “Only a fool would wait around!”

    The two of them, one in front and one behind, began to sprint along the main road in front of the company gate.

    “You dare to get married? Doing so will kill Jin Baiyan!” Zhao Chengxi yelled as he pursued him.

    “What’s it to you?” Jin Mo retorted without turning his head. “Even my brother doesn’t care, why should you?”

    Zhao Chengxi paused in his tracks. “Your brother knows?”

    “Of course! What would I hide from him?” Jin Mo said, panting, as he continued to run. “If you keep chasing me and something happens to my heart, my brother won’t spare you!”

    Hearing this, Zhao Chengxi immediately slowed down.

    “Alright, alright, don’t run!”

    Jin Mo also slowed down, stopping ten meters away from Zhao Chengxi.

    Both of them bent over, hands on their thighs, gasping for breath.

    “Your brother knows… you’re getting married!” Zhao Chengxi looked up at Jin Mo, a look of disbelief on his face. “I don’t believe it!”

    Jin Mo gave him a mocking look.

    “Who cares if you believe it!”

    “I’ll call him and ask!” Zhao Chengxi took out his phone and dialed Jin Baiyan’s number.

    “Hello, Baiyan!” Zhao Chengxi said, controlling his voice as he watched Jin Mo, preventing him from running away.

    “Mm.”

    “I’m in Yucheng!”

    “Oh.”

    “Jin Mo is right in front of me!”

    “Xiao Mo? What’s wrong?” The previously calm and collected voice suddenly became hurried.

    “He said… he said you know about his marriage?” Zhao Chengxi asked through gritted teeth.

    Jin Baiyan raised an eyebrow.

    “I know! He told me!”

    This time, Zhao Chengxi was truly dumbfounded!

    It wasn’t that he was stupid, but he thought Jin Baiyan was!

    “Baiyan, aren’t you… aren’t you sad?”

    There was no reply on the other end, only a couple of chuckles.

    “What’s it to you! Stop trying to leech off my brother! Zhao Chengxi, I’m telling you, stay away from my brother! He’s mine!” Jin Mo shouted, straining his voice.

    Hearing Jin Mo’s voice, Jin Baiyan chuckled again.

    Zhao Chengxi suddenly felt like he was a complete idiot. The person involved didn’t care, yet he was fussing about it.

    He said, “Since you know, then I won’t say anything else!”

    After speaking, he turned and left!

    Jin Mo stared at Zhao Chengxi’s back, snorted twice, and walked towards the car that had caught up.

    That night, Qin Manwen began to fall into a coma.

    She held on for a few more days with the help of an IV drip.

    After learning that Qin Manwen was in a coma, Jin Baiyan came to Yucheng.

    He knew that Jin Mo must be very sad!

    Qin Manwen was, after all, his only blood relative in this world.

    On the night Qin Manwen passed away, she woke up for a short while.

    Holding Jin Mo’s hand, she said, “Mo Mo, you must live happily!”

    Jin Mo instantly burst into tears.

    Jin Baiyan helped with Qin Manwen’s funeral arrangements.

    They kept vigil together.

    Gu Zhenxuan wanted Gu Tingting to join them, but Jin Mo refused, and the old man left in a huff.

    Everyone who came would ask, “President Qin, who is this?”

    Jin Mo replied with a hint of pride, “This is my family!”

    People didn’t understand what “family” meant! But they were too embarrassed to ask further.

    Jin Baiyan always stood by his side, his eyes crinkling into a smile.

    He was introduced by Jin Mo to everyone!

    He was introduced to everyone by Jin Mo as “family.”

    What regrets could he have?

    Xiao Feiwu and Xu Jiahao stood not far away, holding hands, watching the two of them with smiles.

    After Qin Manwen’s funeral arrangements were completed, Jin Baiyan had to return.

    Jin Mo took out a document, flipped directly to the last page, pointed to a blank space, and said, “Brother, sign!”

    Jin Baiyan was stunned. “What?”

    Jin Mo slapped the table, sat on his lap, and pecked him on the lips.

    “Sign! Don’t ask, asking hurts my heart!”

    Jin Baiyan couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle, with a helpless expression.

    “Alright!”

    He wasn’t afraid of being sold off by Jin Mo! He raised his hand and signed his name.

    As soon as he stopped writing, Jin Mo immediately put away the document, looking like he had just committed a crime.

    Jin Baiyan pinched his cheek, bringing their noses together.

    A few days later, Jin Baiyan sat in his office and finally understood what document he had signed.

    Looking at the document in his hand, he rubbed his forehead and chuckled.

    He had given his Jin Corporation shares to Jin Mo, and Jin Mo had given him Qin Corporation!

    He was working for Jin Mo’s company, and Jin Mo was working for his company. It was truly…

    Jin Baiyan held the business license of Qin Electronics, looking at his name in the legal representative column, and grinned foolishly for over ten minutes.

    His phone buzzed, bringing him back to his senses.

    Mo Mo: Brother, did you receive the dowry? Are you happy? Oh, and check your bank account too!

    Jin Baiyan’s gaze lingered on the words “dowry,” lost in thought for a moment.

    These two words filled him with extreme joy.

    “Received! Happy! Okay!”

    After replying to the message, he leaned back in his chair, staring at the sunlight outside the window, once again falling into a world of silly smiles.

    After receiving Jin Baiyan’s message, Jin Mo also rejoiced for a while before throwing himself into work.

    Xu Jiahao had already helped him find a new office building in Kun City.

    It was an office building located outside the export processing zone, only four or five hundred meters away from Jin Corporation. The environment was good, the rent was reasonable, and it only needed a little renovation.

    Jin Mo wanted to give Jin Baiyan a surprise, so he had been keeping this a secret.

    Gu Tingting’s wedding preparations were also almost complete, but unexpectedly, a week before the date, something happened.

    Gu Tingting’s real boyfriend, the person she was supposed to marry, suddenly disappeared!

    Gu Tingting was very anxious!

    Jin Mo wasn’t! Whether or not she had a boyfriend was irrelevant to him, since he wasn’t really going to get married anyway.

    The wedding invitations hadn’t been sent out yet. Gu Tingting wanted to delay until the last moment, but now that her boyfriend was missing, how could the wedding take place?

    “Qin Momo, what should I do?” Gu Tingting had no choice but to seek help from Jin Mo.

    How would Jin Mo know what to do!

    “He’s your boyfriend, not mine. How would I know?”

    “Recently, for more than a month, I’ve felt that A Yu has been acting strangely. He seems to be avoiding me! Every time your name is mentioned, he acts very strangely. I have a feeling he knows you!” Gu Tingting said, crying.

    Jin Mo was stunned. “Knows me? How is that possible? I’ve never been to Yucheng before?”

    “A Yu went to university in Kun City!”

    “Kun City?” Jin Mo was shocked. “What’s his name?”

    “Huh?”

    “What ‘huh’? I’m asking you what your boyfriend’s name is?”

    “Bao… Bao Shuyu!”

    Gu Tingting was startled by the yell and blurted out a name. Jin Mo almost dropped his phone.

    “Bao… Senior Bao?”

    Gu Tingting suddenly exclaimed.

    “You know him?”

    Jin Mo was speechless!

    How should he answer?

    Should he say that not only did he know him, but he also confessed to him, and he even accepted? Although it was only for one night, there was still that process!

    However, he couldn’t figure out one thing. Wasn’t Bao Shuyu supposed to like guys, just like him? How could he… get Gu Tingting pregnant?

    Jin Mo’s silence drove Gu Tingting almost crazy!

    “Give me his phone number, I’ll ask him!”

    “You really know him?”

    “Yeah, he’s my senior, and he’s my brother’s classmate!”

    “Oh, oh, oh! I understand, I’ll give you the number right away!”
