She then pushed down Mo Huan’s head to show respect towards the three.
Mo Donglin bowed down at an angle that was bigger than 90 degrees. He apologized profusely, “Third young master Jun, first young master Qi, Ms. Qiao, please, you’re all people with big hearts. Please forgive Huanhuan and spare the Mo family. I’ll do anything!”
Jun Yexuan coldly snickered, “Since Mr. Mo knows I’m third young master Jun, then you should know I’ve never spared anyone.”
Mo Donglin’s face looked grey. And Wang Xuehua appeared hopeless as well.
Just then, Wang Xuehua thought of something and crawled to Gong Yi, “Young master Gong, save us! You must have a way for them to spare us! Please!”
Gong Yi said, “You told me not to interfere.”
Wang Xuehua’s face turned white, “Because I didn’t know better back then. I don’t know just how high the sky goes and that was why I angered the two buddhas. Please, you’re a great man with a big heart, treat what I said to be nonsense! Please speak up for us.”
“The Mo and Gong families are tight, and Huanhuan saved your life before. Please repay us for those and ask the young masters to spare us!”
Gong Yi’s expression froze a little. After he took a glance at Qiao Qing, he finally said, “It is true that Mo Huan saved me three years ago, but how many times have I stepped out to help the Mo family since then?! How many messes have I had to clean up after your family?! Without me, the Mo family never would’ve made its way to upper society! Just how much longer are you going to use that against me?!”
“This will be the last time! Really, the last time!” Mo Donglin made his way over as well, “As long as young master Gong helps us out this time, we’re even. We will never bring the past up again!”
Gong Yi gulped hard. After he made up his mind, he walked up to Jun Yexuan but he didn’t dare to look at Qiao Qing.
“Let them go.”
Jun Yexuan squinted, “What do we get in exchange?”
Gong Yi’s face tightened and then said, “The fragrance competition… as long as Qingqing represents my corporation at the competition, I will help you find your person. I won’t care what place she gets.”
“So you’ve given up on that product line completely. After all, Qingqing doesn’t know how to mix perfumes,” Jun Yexuan said, “Then why must you ask her to compete in a competition that’s so out of her depth?! Why didn’t you just help us right off the bat?!”
“I…” Gong Yi opened his lips but couldn’t speak out the words “because I wanted her to stay awhile”.
Just now, when he had asked for forgiveness on Mo Huan’s behalf, he knew he was no longer in a position to pursue Qingqing.
He thought about just letting it all be and stop caring about the liveliness of the Mo family or Mo Huan.
Because then, he would be able to keep on pursuing Qiao Qing and use all the ways he could think of to keep her.
But because Mo Huan once saved him, he could not just watch them whither.
He very much believed that he would regret that decision. But now that it’s happened, he finally realized just how much it hurts.
After a moment of silence, Gong Yi lost his wits and acted out furiously, “Do you agree or not?!”
This time, before Qi Yusen and Jun Yexuan could speak, Qiao Qing answered, “Deal.”
The moment the deal was sealed, Gong Yi lost all his strength. He did not turn his head and shouted at the Mo family, “Get the hell out of my house. Don’t let me see you ever again.”
