However, before he could charge forward, soone yanked him back.
"Lord Father-in-law seems to have quite the temper these days," ca a low voice laced with mockery.
Lord Father-in-law!
These four words made Mo Shu shiver, and she looked up.
Yu Siqiao, who was already tall, effortlessly grabbed Mo Jiantao by the collar and in an instant, pulled him back.
With his collar grasped, Mo Jiantao felt intense humiliation.
Upon hearing Yu Siqiao’s reference to ’Lord Father-in-law,’ his anger soared, saying, "The conversation between my daughter and I doesn’t concern you, so mind your own business!"
However, Yu Siqiao replied, "How can it be none of my business? I saw you trying to hit my fiancée. What, do you think I, as the future father of her children, am dead?"
Mo Jiantao had not anticipated that Yu Siqiao would be so protective of Mo Shu, this wretched girl. Grinding his teeth, he retorted, "You’ve said it yourself, she’s your fiancée. My daughter hasn’t married you yet, so don’t you go calling ’Lord Father-in-law’ as if we’re close. She’s still my daughter, and you, a stranger, better stay the hell away from her!"
"You’re right," Mo Shu said, picking up a cup of tea from beside her and taking a sip, her eyes narrowed slightly in a sowhat disengaged manner.
Yu Siqiao’s eyes darkened as he gazed at Mo Shu.
She had her hair tied in a ponytail today, which made her look more cold and capable.
In a white shirt and a blue velvet vest, with two top buttons undone, the V-neck revealed Diamond Forest’s owl necklace that had been popular these past days, resting quietly on her porcelain chest, clinging to the barely visible cleavage, especially striking.
Hmm, the necklace really wasn’t bad.
But... This damn woman, doesn’t she know how to dress a bit more modestly??
Unaware that he was scrutinizing her, Mo Shu placed her teacup down and looked at him with a light smile, "There’s not even a stroke on our marriage contract yet, so let’s not assu you’re not an outsider."
Mo Shu’s attitude greatly surprised Mo Jiantao.
She dared to slight Yu Siqiao to his face!?
It seed that their relationship had indeed changed dramatically!
If this were to continue, wouldn’t the entire Mo Family beco Mo Shu’s plaything once they married?
Filled with jealousy, Mo Jiantao imdiately sought to sow discord, saying, "What an ungrateful wretch you are. Young Master Yu even lent his personal designer to you. Without this impressive design, could you have replaced my product? Yet now, you’re thinking of cutting ties once you’ve crossed the river. What a scoundrel you are!"
Mo Shu laughed lightly, picking up the necklace from the table, "Are you talking about this?"
"Yes," Mo Jiantao barked, "Such a brilliant design, it’s clear to see its endless potential. Young Master Yu could have kept it for his own company, and it definitely would have set a new trend, but he gave it to you instead, and here you are, still playing the role. You truly don’t appreciate what you’ve been given!"
Mo Shu, on the other hand, happily curled her lips, "I didn’t expect that your pig brain could actually see its potential. Seems like it is indeed remarkable."
Ji Nan chid in right away, "Of course, anything designed by Princess herself is bound to be the best."
Mo Jiantao sneered, "Do I not know what you’re capable of? If you designed this piece, I’d get down on my knees right now and call you daddy!"
Those in the office who knew the inside story laughed out loud, looking at Mo Jiantao with schadenfreude in their eyes.
Even Yu Siqiao teased, "Think carefully now."
Mo Jiantao’s heart sank with a foreboding hunch. Even Yu Siqiao had spoken up; could it really be that this wretched girl had drawn it herself?
"That won’t do; a father kneeling to his daughter would be unfilial. But since you’ve put it that way, it wouldn’t be nice of to refuse..." Mo Shu’s face showed a hint of distress, then her eyes lit up, and she said sweetly with a smile, "How about, I just break your leg to show my gratitude?"
