Chapter 1210 The Man Appears (4)
Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan went upstairs. When they entered their room, Mo Beihan embraced her from behind. “Who spoke to you? Is he more handsome than me?”
Gu Qingyao was rather amused. “Is that the crucial point?”
“It’s not?”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
“A man I didn’t recognize. He has mixed blood and is very handsome. He looks rather frail. Judging from his appearance, he is certainly very ill. His age… he’s in his thirties. He’s about as tall as you, but a little thinner.”
Chu Yi might be handsome and might have a noble air, but he and Mo Beihan were on par in this respect. His figure was definitely much inferior to Mo Beihan’s figure.
Mo Beihan was tall, strong and had an upright bearing. He gave people a sense of security, but he was not overwhelming.
Chu Yi was different. After all, he had been ill for a long time. He was thinner, and his complexion was poor. He was rather sallow.
“He said his name is Chu Yi. Do you know him?”
Mo Beihan was stunned. “Chu Yi?”
“That’s right!”
“I don’t know him!”
Gu Qingyao raised her brows. “Are you sure you don’t know him?”
“Why?”
Gu Qingyao laughed. “When he talked to me, his every word was very persuasive. Anyway, he kept telling me that marrying you obstructed my career. He told me that if I had remained overseas instead of going back to China and marrying you, I would certainly have a very successful career now and numerous suitors.”
Mo Beihan: “…”
“Listen, he is clearly saying that you have prevented me from succeeding, so I should keep my distance from you.” Mo Beihan: “…”
“So! I guess that he is likely to be your enemy. He’s clearly out to cause trouble. He probably does not know me very well, which was why he said those things to me. If he had known me a little better, he would not have spoken so directly.
“It was rather premature to say such things to me on our first meeting. It’s clear that he doesn’t think highly of me.”
Mo Beihan fell silent.
“You said that he’s about my height, in his thirties, has mixed blood, and is an invalid? The kind that has been ill for a long time?”
Gu Qingyao said, “That’s right!”
“If it’s really him, then there’s nothing peculiar about what he said.”
Gu Qingyao hurriedly said, “Do you know him?”
Mo Beihan hugged her and continued to rest his head on her shoulder. “I know him. He really is my enemy. His serious illness is partly my doing “But I’m not sure whether his real name is Chu Yi. Few people know his real name. Most people secretly call him Mr Ill. He has always been in poor health and looks very frail. But he’s frighteningly vicious and very powerful.”
Gu Qingyao said rather curiously, “Mr Ill? He has such a strange name? You said that he’s a tycoon. Do people dare to call him that in secret?”
Mo Beihan laughed. “This man is very mysterious. He has both legal and illegal dealings, and his businesses are all very mysterious. Few people know how extensive his holdings are. In any case, he’s an international tycoon.
“He has always been in poor health. I heard that it’s something congenital. He has sought many famous doctors all over the world in hopes of a cure. There are rumors that he is extraordinarily capable. If not for his poor health, he would be even more powerful.
“He’s very famous. Even his poor health is legendary. Also, he’s very mysterious so very few people know about him. That’s why they have such a nickname for him!”
