Capítulo 1858: Chapter 0187: The Official Fiancée 5
“Don’t worry, Mom. It’s true that they say it’s for my sake, but that’s just an excuse they ca up with. In fact, they’ve been disapproving of the Zhang family for a long ti,” Chu Mo said. “Moreover, today, Wang Yue and Chen Xi publicly dealt a heavy blow to Zhang Qingtian. Now the truth has finally been revealed.”
At the ntion of Wang Yue, Chu Mo’s heart ward involuntarily.
She had spent almost the entire day with Wang Yue, and the pure yang energy he inadvertently radiated had had a profound effect on her. Now, whenever she thought of him, embarrassing images would involuntarily appear in her mind, making her feel hot.
But just then, Chu Mo suddenly felt a cool breeze emanating from her mother, as if she had taken a cold shower. Her body instantly beca alert, and the flas of desire that had risen in her heart were instantly extinguished.
“Mom, does it seem like you have so kind of energy inside you?” Chu Mo asked in surprise.
Xu Yanran, however, seed unaware and asked in confusion, “What energy?”
“Just now, I felt a cool energy coming from you. Didn’t you feel it?” Chu Mo asked.
Xu Yanran frowned and asked in return, “Mo Mo, did you just get excited?”
“How did you know?” Chu Mo blurted out, her face turning red.
Xu Yanran sighed and said, “Perhaps it’s because of the characteristics of my Nine Yin ridians—they can dispel the desire of anyone who cos into contact with .”
“Really?” Chu Mo was astonished. “Then how did you and Dad have in the first place?”
“With today’s advanced technology, it’s not hard to have a child. It doesn’t necessarily require a marriage between a man and a woman,” Xu Yanran explained.
Chu Mo suddenly understood why her father had never spent the night at ho since she could rember. She had always wondered why, even though her mother couldn’t practice martial arts and was even more beautiful than the “Twelve Beauties of Jinling,” and had a much more attractive figure than her father’s other won, her father never seed close to her mother. Now it seed the reason was clear.
Thinking about it that way, she couldn’t really bla her father entirely.
“Since in vitro fertilization is possible, why don’t you have a son?” Chu Mo asked again.
“What if I had a son, what would happen to Chu Wang?” Xu Yanran said with a laugh, seemingly unbothered by the idea.
Chu Mo fell silent. Chu Wang was her half-brother; his mother was her father’s favorite woman and had long been designated as the next head of the Chu family.
After all, the officially recognized wife of the Chu family is still Xu Yanran. If she were to have a son, he would be the legitimate heir, and then Chu Wang would naturally not be the next young master of the family.
“Mo Mo, don’t be sad for . I have you, and that’s enough,” Xu Yanran said, smiling and trying to comfort her daughter, who seed very upset. Then, suddenly, she asked, “You just ntioned Wang Yue, and you seed quite emotional. Could it be that he is the person you like?”
Chu Mo’s face imdiately turned red. “It’s just… I kind of like him. He’s pursuing right now.”
“Judging by your reaction, it’s more than just a little bit,” Xu Yanran said with a smile. “But no matter what, I will support you. Although Wang Yue is a bit younger and already has an engagent, as long as you both truly love each other, status doesn’t matter.”
“Thank you, Mom,” Chu Mo said gratefully. She was very happy to have her mother’s support and blessing.
“What are you talking about?” a voice suddenly interrupted the mother-daughter conversation.
Following the voice, a tall man walked in from outside—it was Chu Mo’s father, Chu Kuo.
“Why have you co here?” Xu Yanran asked, her smile disappearing imdiately upon seeing him.
Chu Kuo sighed inwardly. He still felt sothing for Xu Yanran; otherwise, he would not have married a woman who was completely unable to practice any martial arts, even though she was the legitimate daughter of the Xu family, which was not inferior to the Chu family in terms of power.
But Xu Yanran’s condition of having her “Nine Yin ridians Severed” was truly tornting. To have a wife of such exceptional beauty and figure, yet to be able to only look at her and not touch her—any man would feel frustrated.
So after they got married, Chu Kuo began to have extramarital affairs, and their relationship gradually beca colder, to the point where it was irreparable now.
“I ca to tell Mo Mo that the wedding date with the Zhang family is approaching. She shouldn’t go to that gym these days; she should stay at ho and get ready properly,” Chu Kuo said directly, getting to the point.
“I will not marry Zhang Qingtian. I already told Mom about it, and now I’m telling you too,” Chu Mo said just as directly.
“Nonsense!” Chu Kuo said sternly. “This was decided by both the Chu and Zhang families. You can’t just say you won’t marry!”
“That was decided by you. I never agreed to it,” Chu Mo said coldly. She had indeed not intended to resist this arranged marriage before, but she had also never given her explicit consent.
“You don’t have the right to refuse!” Chu Kuo said. “The family has supported and educated you for over twenty years, helping you beco soone special. Now it’s ti for you to contribute to the family.”
“I used to think the sa, but soone told that serving the family doesn’t necessarily an sacrificing oneself,” Chu Mo argued.
“Absurd,” Chu Kuo said coldly. “What else can you do for the Chu family?”
“At least I can ensure that the Chu family doesn’t perish,” Chu Mo replied.
“What do you an?” Chu Kuo asked, frowning.
“That’s all I have to say. Believe it or not, I will never marry Zhang Qingtian,” Chu Mo said firmly, without revealing that the three major families were planning to take action against the Zhang family.
She could tell her mother, Xu Yanran, about this, but she would never tell her father, Chu Kuo, because right now, Chu Kuo was practically on the sa side as the Zhang family. If she told him, it would be tantamount to telling the Zhang family.
Even if Chu Mo didn’t say anything, the Zhang family would probably be able to deduce sothing from Wang Yue’s actions against Zhang Qingtian. But Chu Mo didn’t want to help them confirm their suspicions—that was her stance.
Chu Kuo was stunned for a mont before sighing. “Do you realize that it won’t be long before things change in Jinling? By then, the Zhang family will beco dominant. If we cancel the marriage now, it will be an insult to them. Will they just let it go?” he asked.
Chu Mo was surprised. “What do you an?”
“I’m telling you, the Zhang family has already made contact with a powerful force. I don’t know the details, but I know that this force cos from Tianhai. Within a month at the earliest, or at the latest within half a year, soone from that force will co to help the Zhang family take control of Jinling,” Chu Kuo explained.
“I know you have a good relationship with the two girls from the Su family, so you’d better warn them in advance so they can prepare. They might need to give up so benefits or even leave Jinling. Otherwise, the three major families might cease to exist.”
Chu Mo didn’t expect her father to tell her all this. Clearly, he still had so parental feelings for her, so her tone softened. “Thank you, Dad, for telling .”
