âWhich company is Mo Yan in?â Chang Lu was surprised.
âYes, sheâs in Hong Jing, and sheâs also one of the directors of the sales department.â
Upon hearing Mo Lianâs words, Chang Lu instantly understood why Mo Lian had lost her senses.
Her daughter had embarrassed herself several times because of Mo Yan, and she had even been to the police station because of that little she-devil. There was no way Mo Lian would let that little she-devil go.
Chang Lu sighed. âLittle Lian! Mom understands you, but things have to be arranged according to the occasion. Mo Yan is an employee there. You represent our company to discuss a collaboration with others. At times like this, we have to do things by the book. If you go to another company and vent your anger on their employee, even a boss wouldnât be able to tolerate it! Your father is always concerned with how he appears to others. How can he not be angry with you?â
âMom, itâs too late to talk about this now. What should I do? Dad will kill me when he returns!â
Chang Lu thought for a moment and made a call. âXiao Li, book a flight ticket for Mo Lian to country M as soon as possible, and then book a hotel near a scenic area.â
âMom, I donâtâ¦â
Before Mo Lian could finish, Chang Lu glared at her.
âA two oâclock flight? Okay, thatâs it then.â
Chang Lu hung up the phone and dragged Mo Lian upstairs to pack her clothes.
âMom, I donât want to go abroad,â Mo Lian said, aggrieved.
âIf you donât go abroad, do you want to wait for your father to beat you to death?â
......
Chang Lu had only heard that her daughter was targeting Mo Yan, so she could guess how bad things had become. Her daughter was going to marry into a wealthy family in future, and it would not be good if Mo Dong disfigured her in a fit of anger.
She knew Mo Dongâs temper the best. When he was angry, he could be reckless.
Before she married him, she had accidentally exposed her identity to Mo Dongâs partner, leading to a breakdown in the partnership. That night, Mo Dong had beaten her to a pulp and she had needed to be admitted into the hospital. Even now, there was still a finger-length scar on her thigh.
After hearing Chang Luâs words, Mo Lian did not dare to disobey. She could only ask in a low voice when she could return.
âWait for me to give you a call. Go to country M and temper your hotheadedness. This is a card with half a million. Buy whatever you want. Call me if itâs not enough.â
Seeing that her mother did not really want to punish her, Mo Lian instantly broke into a smile. She hugged Chang Luâs waist and acted coquettishly.
âThatâs enough! Hurry up and leave. When your father comes back, you wonât be able to do so.â
âOkay.â
â¦
Mo Yan did not expect to see Mo Dong at the company. The two of them only caught a glimpse of each other before the elevator door closed.
âHuh? Isnât that your terrible father?â Xu Wan asked, astounded.
Mo Yan was also momentarily shocked. Then, she understood that Mo Dong was here regarding the collaboration. However, no matter how she looked at it, he did not look in the best of moods.
âI donât know. Donât call him my father in the future. He doesnât deserve it.â
Xu Wan raised her eyebrows. âThen whatâs his name?â
âMo Dong, just call him by his name.â
âAre you completely cutting off all ties with the Mo Family?â Xu Wan asked.
âIâve cut off all ties from the moment he refused to give me the dowry to save my mother. Otherwise, wonât I just be waiting for him to make use of me when something happens? I even suspect that when he meets a son-in-law that he doesnât want but has no choice about, he will force me to marry someone else.â
âEw, is he that disgusting?â
âWhat does he do that is not disgusting.â
As her best friend, Xu Wan was already privy to all the things about the Mo family that she should not know, so there was nothing that Mo Yan needed to keep from her.
âThatâs true. Cutting off ties is good. Without the Mo family, you are doing very well now.â
âYeah.â
After going separate ways from Xu Wan, Mo Yan had just walked into the office when she was surrounded by a group of people.
âSister Mo Yan, your husband is too amazing!â
âThatâs right! Sister Mo Yan, why didnât you tell us that you have such a good husband?â
Mo Yan looked at the speaker speechlessly. Tell us? What could she say? She still remembered how they had told her that her husband was a gangster who had been in prison!
âSister Mo Yan, I think the supervisor of Group B said that your husband is very handsome, even more so than a celebrity. Can we meet him one day?â
âYes, Sister Mo Yan, youâve been promoted to supervisor. We havenât had a meal in celebration yet. One day, you can bring brother-in-law to have a meal with us. Weâll treat you.â
Surrounded by a group of people, Mo Yan only felt that it was a terrible din. It was really the case that once she had been promoted, her seniority increased. Regardless of their age, they all addressed her respectfully.
