This remark was truly cutting, undoubtedly piercing through Fu Zixin’s little sches.
"Grandma! I have never considered wanting the blue ice stone!"
Fu Zixin hurriedly explained, her face blushing in embarrassnt.
"I just, I just..."
"Stop with your excuses, I know what you and your mother are thinking."
The Mo matriarch was as decisive and straightforward as ever.
Whether it was a biological daughter or a legitimate granddaughter, she always stood by reason, never by kinship.
"This matter is settled, this weekend, the full moon banquet for my two great-grandchildren will be held as scheduled. If Xinxin hasn’t returned to normal by then, we as elders, along with the young ones, must ensure that no one discovers anything unusual about Xinxin."
The Mo matriarch instructed.
"After all, Xinxin is the Mo family’s young mistress. This title holds prestige and recognition in Ancheng. If it’s discovered in public that Xinxin now only has the intelligence and expression abilities of a six-year-old child, she will inevitably beco a laughingstock. Do you all understand?"
She solemnly finished speaking and then looked at Fu Zixin.
"Zixin, especially you."
"...Grandma, what do you an?"
"You understand what Grandma ans."
"..."
Looking at the Mo matriarch’s aningful gaze, Fu Zixin felt both intimidated and disgruntled at the sa ti!
The next day, Fu Zixin said she wanted to go shopping for an outfit for the full moon banquet, but in reality, she went straight to the hotel to find her mother, Mo Yongshu.
As soon as she entered the hotel room, Fu Zixin heard a commotion.
Fu Zixin felt curious, and these voices sounded sowhat familiar...
"Ouch! Xinxin is here!"
Suddenly, a woman exclaid in delight.
"It’s really Xinxin."
A more composed female voice followed.
As Fu Zixin approached, her initial curiosity quickly turned into surprise.
"Aunt, little aunt, when did you arrive? Why didn’t you tell Xinxin!"
She happily ran over.
Fu Zixin’s aunt Mi Zhenni showed her red lips.
"We wanted to give you a surprise!"
Mo Yongshu’s younger sister Mo Baoyi elegantly curved her tangerine-colored lips into a graceful smile.
"Xinxin, after not seeing you for a while, you’ve beco prettier."
Upon hearing this complint, Fu Zixin grinned with pride.
"Thank you for the complint, little aunt. You’re becoming more beautiful too, no one can tell you’re already thirty-three!"
Mo Baoyi slightly twitched her lips and responded with a nonchalant smile on her radiant lon seed-shaped face.
"Oh! You are both beautiful and charming, but we’re not here to discuss this now!"
Mi Zhenni interrupted, her mature face brimming with dissatisfaction.
"Xinxin, is it true what you said! Your grandma really plans to give the blue ice stone to that... Xinxin..."
"Yan Xinxin."
Fu Zixin reminded.
"Yes, Yan Xinxin; did your grandma really say that?"
"Without a doubt!"
Mo Yongshu confird, looking regretful.
"Baoyi, Zhenni, I’m not exaggerating, it’s a fact. Not long from now, the Mo family will be entirely under Yan Xinxin’s control. It’s not just the blue ice stone, the whole Mo family fortune will be in her hands, and if we want so pocket money, she’ll need to approve it!"
"Ridiculous!"
Mi Zhenni exclaid angrily.
"I will never agree to mom and dad doing this! That Yan Xinxin can’t even count as part of the Mo family!"
"Aunt, don’t say that, if Cousin Xi hears, he might shoot you. Look at my arm, this scar is from when Cousin Xi shot just because I said sothing Yan Xinxin didn’t like!"
"What!"
Mi Zhenni gasped, Mo Baoyi shared the shock, clearly seeing the wound on Fu Zixin’s arm.
"Is Yan Xinxin really that formidable?"
"If she weren’t, why would Cousin Xi be so captivated by her, and also..."
Fu Zixin dangled the hook teasingly.
"Aunt, little aunt, there’s sothing crucial I need to tell you..."
