Chapter 58: It Has Been Swapped
Tugging Mo Yun aside, Zhang Qin whispered a stern word of advice, “Yunyun ah! Today is Xingyu’s engagement ceremony, stop fooling about. Don’t make your father angry!”
“Mother! Which part of this looks like a joke to you? Furthermore, I finished my research with an exemplary result. Why would he be angry?” In a raised tone, Mo Yun rebutted her mother. Everyone around her heard them, just as she wished.
Hearing the rude and public denial of authority, Zhang Qin was dumbstruck. Facing Mo Yun, she was only able to squeeze out an awkward smile
“Dad! I independently researched and perfected this item, are you happy for me?” Blinking innocently and adorably, Mo Yun skipped to Mo Zhenggan, hugging onto his elbows and looked at him with clear, angelic eyes, “Didn’t you say that if I managed to research my product independently, you would announce the gifting of shares to me? That deal is still on, right?”
Folding her arms, she turned away pouting, “If you go against your word, I’ll be angry!” With her innocent smile, she’s just like a little girl, whining lovingly with her father.
Those words caught Mo Zhenggan by surprise. What an outstanding and natural actress. He underestimated her. He had never imagined that there was this side of Mo Yun. Without even a slight analysis, he could tell how prepared she was for today. Very evidently, this was not going to be an easy battle.
His little rascal had gotten all tough now that she had grown up. Conventional methods would no longer keep her chained down.
Looks like… I’ve to get rid of her soon.
In his eyes, a murderous intent flickered for a split second. Yet, his smile remained all warm and loving, “Hahaha! Of course, Dad would keep his word. Quick! Bring me the documents!”
Swiftly, an assistant brought over the well-prepared shares movement document. In front of the masses, Mo Zhenggan declared, “From today onwards, I transferred 5% of the share I own to my daughter Mo Yun. She would be part of the Mo Company’s research as well. Please lend her your greatest support!”
The turn of events shook the crowd’s hearts. Initially, they were still sceptical about the relationship between Mo Zhenggan and this new daughter. If they were on good terms, why was she so well-hidden? Now, having seen the generosity and loving relationship, all of the thoughts were vanquished, in its place was a cacophony of cheers and applause.
“Congratulations, President Mo! Yet another high achieving daughter!”
“Looks like the future of the Mo Family is higher than the skies! President Mo, your daughters make us, the old sacks of bones, green with envy!”
“President Mo, you sure a third daughter won’t pop out of nowhere? It better be so or else it’s bad for us! HAHAHA!”
Facing the endless congratulatory greetings, Mo Zhenggan laughed alongside the rest naturally and cheerfully. His ice-cold gaze hid below the radar, not a single gaze let loose of his displeasure.
Soon… my Mo Family will only have one daughter left…
Having received her desired share, Mo Yun had no interest in keeping up the repulsive act of a loving daughter.
At the same time, the engagement ceremony was starting…
Just as Mo Yun was preparing to disappear unnoticed amongst the crowd, Bai Lang, disguised as a waiter, approached her, holding the serving tray of drinks.
“Miss Mo, interested in a glass of champagne?” A small smile curled on his face as he stood beside her. Following that, he whispered, “Relax, the spiked one has already been swapped out.”
“Thank you.” Mo Yun smiled as she raised a glass in thanks, drinking it without hesitation.
Not far away, Zhang Qin’s lips curled into a sinister smirk as he observed the drinking. Throwing a tactful gaze at her husband and Mo Xingyu.
Initially, a dark and heavy gloom enveloped Mo Xingyu. Yet, with her mother’s signal, a bright smile tore through the suffocating darkness in an instant. She skipped along, tugging Chu Yi’s arms, her smile getting wider and wider.
Watching his cheerful lady, Chu Yi white teeth sparkled between his lips, “Happy?”
“Of course! Today isn’t just our big day! It’s also the day that Mo Yun finally wised up and decided to reconcile with us! She’s finally back! Now, my family can finally live together, united as one. Of course, I’m happy!” Mo Xingyu chirped gently.
Chu Yi’s eyes fleeted onto Mo Yun; his smile morphed into an unsettling one.
Oh? That ugly duckling with her one-sided admiration actually morphed into this elegant swan… How interesting…
