Chapter 270: He Was Tired

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

Mo Yixuan lowered his eyes and his eyes lacked the energy he showed in the past. Then, he shook his head.

There was no spark of the passion that he usually felt toward his work.

His family had fallen apart, his mother was already half-paralyzed while his son wasn’t even his biological son. So why would he have any passion to work and to earn money?

What did it matter even if he earned a lot of money? His current fortune was enough for him to spend over a few generations. Would money convince his ex-wife return to him? Would money be able to turn his non-biological son into his own biological son?

Money wouldn’t be able to change anything. In fact, money only attracted scheming women like Xia Yuwei to his side and lead him to take a bastard as his own.

If he didn’t have any money, perhaps life might be better. Then, both Yan Yan and himself would be normal working adults and Xia Yuwei would have never have been attracted to him.

They would work hard as a couple, and take on housing loans like all other couples to purchase their home. They would work from 9 to 5 PM and work hard together to improve their quality of life.

So who was it that said that the more money one had, the better one’s life would be?

“Yixuan, say something!” Yang Mingyu grew more worried about his friend when he saw how listless and despairing his friend had become.

He was really worried because there were so many problems that had to be resolved.

Mo Yixuan laughed wryly, then he looked at Yang Mingyu but his eyes were still listless. He sighed, then said, “Mingyu, I’ll hand the company over to you. You should take over my current role and if you don’t think you’d be able to handle it yourself, then you should hire an experienced deputy CEO to assist you.”

Mo Yixuan said evenly, as though he had already made up his mind.

Yang Mingyu was shocked and his mouth suddenly gaped open so wide than a whole egg could have been stuffed inside.

He simply could not believe that those words had come from Mo Yixuan’s mouth.

He couldn’t believe that the friend who was cold, serious, with a tendency not to laugh and who worked as though his life depended on it, would one day sink into such despair that he didn’t even care about the company any longer.

“Are you mad?” Yang Mingyu suddenly rose to his feet and stared at Mo Yixuan in horror.

Mo Yixuan didn’t even react.

He only said flatly, “I’m tired, Mingyu. I’d like to take the next few years off to rest well and take care of my mother. She’s the only family I have left in this world.”

If his mother passed on, then he would be the only person in the Mo family.

In the past, he had always treated his work as something more important than anything else, especially when Yan Yan was still around. He had never spared a thought for her and had always ignored her. He had never once treated her well even up till the day he kicked her out of the house.

So many years had passed and he had always lived life while carrying a tremendous pressure on his shoulders. He was tired, so tired that he felt as though he was unable to feel the warmth and cold of this world.

Yang Mingyu was so angry that he could have stomped his foot. He started to pace around the room and rubbed his hands together.

He could tell that Mo Yixuan was sinking into despair and was losing all interest and passion for life because of the huge blows that he had sustained.

If this carried on, Mo Yixuan would give up on himself entirely.

“Yixuan, you have to pick yourself up,” Yang Mingyu walked toward the bedside once more and placed his hand on Mo Yixuan’s shoulder. “This plan of yours wouldn’t work. I wouldn’t be able to manage the company on your behalf and neither do I have the ability to do so. Furthermore, if your mother finds out that you have given up on Tianyu, she might be so angry that it could trigger a recurrence of her heart problem. If you care about your mother, you need to pick yourself up again and live well. If you want a child, all you’ll have to do is to remarry and bear one with your new wife.’

Furthermore, you don’t even know that you still have another kin in this world.
