Chapter 230: 230 Prophecy True or False (Second Update)
Old Madam Mo chuckled lightly, "Even if we can’t hide it, what of it? Our Mo family withdrew from the Superpower World many years ago, and I refuse to believe that the King of Hades can snatch soone from my hands!"
"That’s true," said Tong Zhi with a worried look gradually appearing in her eyes, "but I’m just worried about Jin, she’s still so young..."
Seeing Tong Zhi’s concern, Old Madam Mo gently patted her hand, "Tong Zhi, don’t worry, my judgnt of people is always on point. Though the girl is young, she is certainly not the type to chase after fa and fortune, so you really don’t need to worry about this matter. Besides, who knows if that prophecy is true or false?"
Assured by Old Madam Mo’s words, Tong Zhi let go of her worries and smiled, "You’re right, sister. I was being overly anxious."

The next day.
The golden sunlight stread through the window, spreading evenly across the bed.
It was another serene and peaceful morning.
The girl lying in bed seed sowhat unaccustod to the sunlight shining on her, her long eyelashes trembling slightly before she slowly opened her eyes.
Her alluring peach blossom eyes sparkled without a hint of the bleary disorientation typical of one just awakened.
She looked around in a daze, taking in the very unfamiliar surroundings, before rembering that she had stayed overnight at the Mo family’s ho.
After figuring out the situation, Chu Jin quickly threw off the covers, ready to get out of bed.
At that mont, there was a knock on the door.
Wasn’t the door broken?
Although Chu Jin was puzzled, she still quickly walked to the outer room, her fair and slender fingers touching the doorknob, which, surprisingly—
The heavy wooden door that was usually hard to budge now opened with ease.
Tong Zhi stood outside the door with a smile, "Jin, I’ve brought you so clothes. Did I wake you up?"
Though Tong Zhi addressed Chu Jin, her eyes kept darting into the room.
Chu Jin took the clothes and smiled, "No, I had just woken up. You’ve taken the trouble to co here, Aunt Tong."
Not finding the person she was looking for in the room, Tong Zhi’s gaze dimd, only to return to Chu Jin.
Upon a closer look, and seeing Chu Jin, Tong Zhi’s eyes brightened again, the smile on her face deepening as she grabbed Chu Jin’s hand and said earnestly, "Jin, you really went through a lot last night!"
Her eyes skimd over Chu Jin, unintentionally or not, as her smile grew even more affectionate.
Tsk tsk tsk, she just knew sothing must have happened between the two of them!
It was as if she could already see a chubby little child waving at her.
That smile made Chu Jin’s scalp tingle, and she slowly withdrew her hand, "It was no trouble, no trouble at all, Aunt Tong. I’m going to change my clothes now. Would you like to co in and sit down?"
"I won’t intrude on you two," said Tong Zhi, once again taking Chu Jin’s hand, and added seemingly offhandedly, "By the way, where’s Zhixuan?"
"He’s in the bathroom," Chu Jin replied honestly.
"Oh," Tong Zhi nodded thoughtfully, showing an ’I understand everything’ expression, "Okay, then you go ahead, I’ll head downstairs first."
Busy? Busy with what?
Watching Tong Zhi leave, Chu Jin finally realized the aning behind Auntie Tong’s words.
Mr. Mo had just co out of the bathroom, a half-smoked cigarette between his long fingers. Seeing Chu Jin enter, he quickly extinguished the cigarette and asked in a low voice, "Did soone just co by?"
Without looking up, Chu Jin replied, "It was Auntie Tong, bringing
so clothes."
Having said that, she swiftly entered the bathroom.
The pale yellow body-hugging dress that Auntie Tong had prepared for her was very conservative. The size was perfect, as if tailor-made. The neckline was neither too high nor too low, just enough to cover the plum blossom tattoo on her collarbone. The length of the dress reached her ankles and, paired with a pair of white canvas shoes, she looked youthful and vibrant.
When Chu Jin finished washing up and ca out of the bathroom, Mr. Mo was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window making a phone call, "...Okay, I know. Just have Agent Li follow up with LP’s case. Pay more attention to Luo Tian’s movents in the coming days."
His tall and upright figure was completely enveloped in golden sunlight. The man’s voice was both stern and chilly, thodically issuing work-related instructions, exuding an air of authority befitting soone of high status.
Hearing footsteps behind him, he instinctively turned his head, his gaze flickered, and then he said, "Let’s leave it at that," and hung up the phone.
It must be said, the girl in front of him could pull off any color or style of clothing. The pale yellow cinched-waist dress she wore was extrely fitting, making her fair skin look even more pale and delicate.
Red lips, white teeth, a figure graceful as jade.
"Let’s go downstairs for breakfast, and then I’ll take you to school," he said.
Chu Jin nodded and humd in agreent, then followed Mr. Mo.
The Mo family ho was vast. Mr. Mo led her around for a while before they finally arrived at the dining room on the first floor.
Seeing the two approaching, Mo Qingyi got up excitedly and took Chu Jin’s arm, "Co on, Jin, sit here with ."
"Good morning, Aunt Mo, Auntie Tong," Chu Jin greeted the two won politely.
"Good, good, sit down and have breakfast. We don’t really stand on ceremony here. Do whatever makes you happy; you don’t have to be so formal," Mrs. Mo said with a hearty laugh.
Tong Zhi instructed a servant at her side, "Go and bring over the nourishing soup we prepared for Miss Chu."
Hearing this, Mrs. Mo quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, bring over the nourishing soup quickly. It won’t be as effective if it cools down."
"Jin," Mrs. Mo said, looking at Chu Jin with a kind expression, "you must drink more of that soup when it cos. Look how thin you are."
Almost everyone at the table showered Chu Jin with warm concern.
As the biological son, Mr. Mo had beco an outsider.
Zheng Chuyi had also gotten up early. Today, she had shed her usual haughty deanor; her brows were tender, her face a bit pale, but her lips still a vivid red. Dressed in a bright red dress, her already stunning features appeared unparalleled.
She swept a quick glance across the room’s decor, a mix of reluctance and indignation in her eyes. The room had been restored to the way it was when she first arrived.
She hadn’t left behind anything that belonged to her, nor had she taken anything that did not.
Zheng Chuyi slowly closed the door. Her final gaze rested on the cabinet in the room, the corners of her eyes slightly moist.
She had intentionally left a red dress in the cabinet, perhaps Mo Zhixuan would see it, perhaps not. But regardless, it at least served as a proof that she had been there.
