The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 683, looks so much like her grandfather (9)

At that moment, the Mo family steward bent his way back, "Master, Mo Lingling has been brought back."

"Bring her in," Old Master Mo’s voice turned cold.

The steward looked towards the door and called out loudly, "Bring the person in."

"Let go of me, what are you grabbing me for?"

"I don’t know you, why are you grabbing me, let go of me..."

The screaming changed in tone, grating and noisy.

The next moment, Mo Lingling was shoved inside.

She lost her balance and fell forward with a thud, sprawled on the floor.

"Hiss—"

Mo Lingling rubbed her waist, looked up, and met the old man’s sharp eyes; she was startled.

Upon closer inspection, her face showed shock.

"You, you..."

How could there be someone who looks so similar?

This face bore a six to seven parts resemblance to her grandfather.

Who on earth was he?

Mo Lingling’s entire thoughts were written across her face, and Old Master Mo snorted disdainfully.

He resembled Mo Tian very closely, something he had always been keenly aware of.

However, what use was this resemblance when their fates were so profoundly disparate?

As memories of the past surfaced, a few more traces of malice flickered in Old Master Mo’s eyes.

Mo Lingling clumsily stood up, retreating two steps with a tone of surprise, "Who on earth are you, and why do you look so much like my grandfather?"

"No wonder Mo Tian took in Chu Chen and his four disciples. Compared to them, you really aren’t fit to show your face," Old Master Mo scoffed coldly, his eyes full of contempt when looking at Mo Lingling.

"No wonder Mo Tian favored Ye Jiuliang the most; you don’t even measure up to a single finger of hers."

All her life, Mo Lingling detested being compared to Ye Jiuliang and the others.

True to form, upon hearing Old Master Mo’s words, her chest tightened with anger, and she snapped, "Who on earth are you, and why have you brought me here?"

"Ill-mannered thing."

Maintaining a stern face, Mo Yu’s hand swung back and delivered a slap.

"Slap—"

A burning pain spread across her cheek, and Mo Lingling was dazed by the slap, unable to recover for a long time.

After a while, she clutched her face, glaring at Mo Yu with fury, "You dare to hit me?"

"So what if I hit you? A brat who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth dares to be so insolent here," Mo Yu flicked her hand dismissively, sneering.

"You crazy woman, how dare you hit me, I’ll fight you!" Mo Lingling, driven by anger, lost all reason and raised her hand as if to strike Mo Yu back.

"Heh."

Mo Yu scoffed in disdain, easily catching her hand and landing another slap.

"Slap—"

The pale cheeks instantly turned red and swollen; now both sides were symmetrical.

Letting go, Mo Yu forcefully shoved Mo Lingling.

The momentum was so fierce that Mo Lingling lost her balance and toppled to the ground.

Her cheeks bore bright red hand prints, threaded with traces of blood.

The faint taste of blood spread in her mouth, Mo Lingling raised a hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her lips, accidentally touching a wound on her face and wincing with pain.

After getting slapped twice, she finally quieted down a bit, with tears shimmering in her eyes.

"Who are you people, I haven’t offended you, why did you kidnap me?" she complained pitifully.

"You haven’t offended us?" Mo Yu sneered, looking down at her with an imposing attitude and asked accusatorily, "How credible is the secret information you stole from Chu Chen, are you helping Chu Chen deceive us?"

At that, Mo Lingling stood rooted to the spot, stunned.

Secret information?

She came to a sudden realization and incredulously turned to look at Mo Yu, "Was it you who approached me before?"

So it was them who had been hiding in the shadows all along, inciting her to do all these things.

"At least you’re not entirely brainless," Mo Yu mocked.

"Those secrets were stolen by you, how could I deceive you, I have been following your orders all along, what could I possibly do?" Mo Lingling retorted indignantly.

She had initially planned to trade those secret documents with them, but instead they had caught her and threatened her, saying that if she didn’t hand over the files they would harm her. It was ridiculous to the extreme, they were the ones who took the documents and now they were accusing her of deceiving them.

"If you hadn’t deceived us, why would our people be caught by Chu Chen, how could Chu Chen possibly know our plans?" Mo Yu glared at her, clearly displeased.

Their people had been captured by Chu Chen?

Mo Lingling panicked, staggering to her feet.

Her voice became agitated, "What are you saying, Chu Chen captured your people, does he know that you got the secret documents from me, did you sell me out?"

She had finally made some progress with Chu Chen after so much effort, she couldn’t afford to lose him, absolutely not.

Mo Yu, who wouldn’t allow anyone to shout in front of her, gave Mo Lingling a chilling look and scoffed with derision, "Since when is it your turn to question me?"

"The secrets I copied out of Chu Chen’s phone are absolutely reliable, unless you leaked the information yourselves, what does that have to do with me?" At that moment, Mo Lingling was only worried whether Chu Chen knew this matter was related to her, she couldn’t spare a thought for anything else.

"You promised me before, you would help me get the inheritance my grandfather left for me and also help me win over Chu Chen, when exactly will you fulfill your promise?"

"Shut up." Mo Yu’s sharp voice gave her a headache and she snapped irritably.

Confronted with Mo Yu’s intimidating gaze, Mo Lingling reflexively fell silent, seemingly affected by the slaps she had just received.

Mo Yu glanced at her dismissively and said, "Did you really think your grandfather left you an inheritance?"

Now that Mo Lingling was of no use to her, there was no point in coddling her anymore.

"Even if there was, I believe your grandfather would only leave it to Chu Chen, not to a fool like you."

Realizing she had been played, Mo Lingling’s face turned deathly pale.

"You... you lied to me?"

Was there never any inheritance from the very beginning, had all this been a trap they set for her?

The purpose was to use her to sow discord among the four people close to Chu Chen, she was just a pawn.

After getting beaten up, Mo Lingling sobered up considerably and quickly figured out that it was a scam.

"So what if we lied to you, you should feel lucky to still be of some use, or did you think you would still be alive otherwise?" Mo Yu sneered, looking at her with disdain and scorn in her eyes.

Mo Lingling’s face was filled with disbelief as she took faltering steps backward.

She had been deceived, from start to finish, there was no inheritance, they were just using her, all those promises were nothing but empty lies.

With this realization, tears welled up in Mo Lingling’s eyes.

How could they do this to her, how could they treat her this way?

"I’m going to tell Chu Chen that it’s you harming him, not me, it’s all you," she muttered dazedly, turning to run.

Before she could reach the doorway, a calloused large hand grabbed the back of her collar, pulling her back without allowing her to struggle free.
