Mo Chenyu was arrested in the night and in the morning, when i i and Jingzhe were sending Mingzhu to the school bus, they found six mbers of the Mo family outside her gates.
They had just reached, timing their arrival with the exact mont when Mingzhu’s bus arrived.
"What is wrong with the security in place!!" Jingzhe mumbled, displeased.
Why did they keep letting the riffraff in? He winced when he felt a small hand clenching around his very tightly. It was Mingzhu, and she was without a smile. The little girl looked like she was ready to start a war right there.
"A Zhe take Mingzhu to the bus." i i told him.
"Mom, they are here to suck blood again....." Mingzhu started, planning to share the fact that she was going nowhere but i i shot a look similar to her Monday morning one and Mingzhu closed her mouth.
Jingzhe stooped down and he carried Mingzhu away, running so that he could return as quickly as possible. At the sa ti, madam Feng stepped out of the gate and Wu Tangning’s maid that was on her way out to buy her mistress the pizza she was craving so early in the morning turned back and run into the house.
All the maids had specific instructions. If there was chaos outside i i’s house, they were to wake her up no matter what ti of the night it was. If she was away, they were to give her a call.
As they all knew how Tangning had benefited from blasting Mrs. Sun with eater, they took this instruction very seriously.
"Sorry not sorry, we cannot invite you in." Mrs. Feng spoke first.
i i anwhile observed those that had co, especially Mo Tian, who was Mo Chenyu’s father. He looked so awful, like he had aged in one night. He was another peacock like Mo Liang, obsessed with his looks.
He used those looks to get by, dating wealthy won, sucking all they had and when the well dried up he would move on. It seed he was so troubled that he had not bothered to comb his hair today.
The Mo’s were also studying i i from up close, their plan was to convince i i to intervene on Chenyu’s behalf. He had been arrested by imperial officers and her brother was their commander. She had made ands with him, now was the ti to put that connection to work.
They were aware that she was divorcing Mo Liang, she had publicly announced it after all but they had no plans to let go of her, divorced or not. She was their money tree once again since she was reconnecting with her family, how could they give up on her?
Mo Tian was not just looking to use i i only, he had spotted another potential prey, Madam Feng. She happened to be on her way out, planning to visit so of her businesses.
She was dressed beautifully and expensively in a high fashion custom made knee length dress. The deep sapphire silk fabric hugged her silhouette effortlessly. Her jewelry spoke of quiet dominance-a diamond necklace, its clover-shaped pendants gleaming under the morning sun.
Around her wrist, a green jade bracelet-three golden balls had been added. On her ears were diamond studs, simple yet undeniably luxurious. The final touch was the white gold watch which rested on her wrist, coiling elegantly around it.
There was no wedding ring around her finger !!!
Mo Tian drooled on the inside when he calculated how much all those things cost. He concluded that she was walking around with at least four million on her body and he wanted it.
i i saw his plan through his eyes and she made a reminder to herself to give Mrs. Feng a heads up lest she end up the victim of a falsified et cute that would end with her accounts drained.
"And indecent pictures of her in his possession as blackmail materials." C4 chid in.
She scoffed, the Mo family really knew how to cultivate scums.
"I am calling the police right now." i i warned them.
"Niece-in-law," Mo Tian raised his voice quickly intending to stop her. "You don’t have to do such a thing, we are all family after all. Why don’t you invite us inside so that we can discuss family matters over so tea? Its about my son, your cousin-in-law, have you heard the news?"
i i went through with her threat. "Hello, police there are trespassers outside my house that are threatening myself and my daughter."
"i i, what are you doing?" Mo Ai shouted. "We just want to talk. How can you treat us like this? Have you forgotten that my cousin saved your life?"
"Exactly." Mo Zhenye said, sneering at her. "Cousin-in-law, haven’t you always loved my brother? How would he feel if he saw you treating us like this? We have already forgiven you for stealing things from our houses. This is your last chance, you should know how to behave or else you will end begging our family to take you back on your knees."
"I have always wondered why you ca first in your class from the bottom and now I know why." i i replied to him. "Mo Zhenye, you are sixteen years old, there is still a chance for you to beco a useful person in society. I advise you to use your brains more often."
"You..." Mo Zhenye pointed at her....
He wailed and fell to the ground and soone kicked him from behind.
"Mo Zhenye, what a good way to apologize. Perhaps while you are down there you might as well kowtow to your elders." Mo Jingzhe laughed as he went to stand by i i’s side.
Zhenye’s mother who was one of the three won that had co. "Mo Jingzhe, you little cutie. How dare you kick my son!! You and i i should kneel down and apologize to my son right now. Give us one million too and we will consider forgiving you."
"Mo Jingzhe, what are you doing here?" Mo Tian asked.
"I live here and we won’t be kneeling." Jingzhe answered with a shrug.
"Live here!!" Mo Ai exclaid. "As who? You bastard, you must be the one sowing discord between Mo Liang and his wife." She looked at i i and said desperately because she could tell that they were losing montum, "Sister-in-law, don’t listen to him. This bastard is the son of a mistress that my uncle picked in a bar when she was selling her body."
Mo Jingzhe gritted his jaw and folded his fists. It was not the first ti he was hearing such derogatory words about his mother. Despite the fact that they were false, they were considered to be gospel truth in the Mo household.
What made him uneasy was i i hearing these words. What would she think of him?
"He is the son of a prostitute and he has always been jealous of Mo Liang because he could not be loved. After all, how can soone like him be accepted as one of us? Sister-in-law, do not let your house be dirtied by soone like him. Kick him out as soon as possible."
"Exactly, who knows what dirty disease his mother passed on to him." Mo Zhenye added as he stood up, brushing the dirt from his pants.
