The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 690, Don’t betray her trust in you (16)

Ye Jiuliang raised an eyebrow, "What do you think?"

"Maybe, probably, it should be okay?" Mo Chen asked uncertainly.

"Go ask your brother-in-law," Ye Jiuliang teased him intentionally, passing the buck to Li Mochan.

Mo Chen immediately looked at Li Mochan with bright eyes, "Brother-in-law, is it okay?"

"Ask your Sister Ajiu," knowing Ye Jiuliang’s mischievousness, Li Mochan was also willing to play along.

Mo Chen’s eyes shifted between the two with a look of grievance; they were teasing him, weren’t they?

"Alright, alright, stop pouting. You don’t have to pay for room and board," Ye Jiuliang said with a laugh.

At this, Mo Chen’s mood instantly lifted, and he picked up the menu to start ordering.

Ye Jiuliang turned to Mo Yuan and asked casually, "Is President Mo feeling better?"

"Much better," Mo Yuan sipped his tea, a gentle smile on his face.

"That’s good to hear," said Ye Jiuliang.

After finishing with the menu, Mo Chen put it down and got up, "I’m going to the washroom."

As he left, Li Mochan started cleaning up the chestnut shells into a paper bag and stood up as well, "I’ll go wash my hands."

The two of them leaving, only Ye Jiuliang and Mo Yuan were left at the dining table.

"President Mo, if there’s something you want to say, just say it," Ye Jiuliang said with a tranquil smile, sensing Mo Yuan’s hesitation.

Hearing this, Mo Yuan no longer hesitated and asked directly, "I heard that Miss Ye bought 5% of the shares from Christie’s hands?"

"It seems word travels fast, to reach President Mo’s ears so quickly," Ye Jiuliang admitted openly, making a light joke.

"What are your thoughts on this matter, President Mo?"

"I know Mo Su was the one who provoked you first," Mo Yuan said calmly, "I don’t want to incite conflict between our two corporations. I’ve always been against the acquisition of MK Corporation’s shareholder stocks, and I will stop Mo Su from proceeding. I hope our two corporations can continue with the original plan for partnership."

He knew Ye Jiuliang was not as simple as she seemed on the surface; even just a word from her, and Li Mochan would indulge her in anything. This was evident from the stock acquisition alone.

MK Corporation, Ye Jiuliang had absolute say and decision-making power.

"It seems President Mo is indeed a wise man," Ye Jiuliang curved her lips slightly, speaking slowly.

"I only acquired the shares as a warning to Miss Mo. If she backs off, I’ll stop here. If she doesn’t, I have no choice but to see it through to the end."

Mo Yuan nodded, "Of course, I can understand that."

Suddenly, Ye Jiuliang changed the subject, "Have you ever bought a pellet drum, President Mo?"

"A pellet drum?" Mo Yuan was taken aback, a trace of confusion appearing on his face.

A toy or a musical instrument?

"Never mind, it’s nothing, just a random question," Ye Jiuliang’s gaze dimmed slightly as she laughed it off nonchalantly.

Mo Yuan looked at her, feeling inexplicably that her mood had dropped.

Elsewhere.

Coming out of the washroom, Mo Chen saw someone in the corridor and was slightly surprised, "Brother-in-law, why are you still here?"

Could it be he was waiting for him?

No sooner had the thought appeared in his mind than Li Mochan’s next words confirmed it.

"Waiting for you."

Mo Chen felt unexpectedly flattered.

He chuckled awkwardly, "Brother-in-law, do you need something?"

"Follow me," Li Mochan said.

Mo Chen scratched his head and followed him with small steps.

When they reached a deserted place, Li Mochan stopped.

He turned around, meeting Mo Chen’s puzzled gaze, and spoke lightly, "Are you hiding something from us?"

"Ah?" Mo Chen stood there dumbfounded, his eyes wide with a tinge of panic.

"You should feel it, she truly sees you as her brother. I hope you don’t betray the trust she has in you," Li Mochan’s voice turned cold, "If one day, due to your concealment, you harm someone you care about, I hope you won’t regret it then."

Mo Chen felt a tightness in his chest, as if someone was choking him, and Li Mochan’s words made it hard for him to breathe.

Having made his point, Li Mochan gave him a glance and said no more.

"Let’s go, they’re still waiting for us."

Mo Chen followed behind absentmindedly, with unsteady steps.

During the meal, Mo Chen pretended as if nothing had happened, continuing to joke and laugh as usual.

With him present, the atmosphere wasn’t cold or awkward.

...

"Madam."

"Madam."

Seeing Mo Yu return, the servants all kept their distance.

After being away for a few days, she returned home to find the living room empty and cold, without a single person she wanted to see.

Mo Yu tossed her bag casually onto the sofa and turned to ask a nearby servant, "Where has the young master gone?"

"The young master has gone out with the head of the household," the servant replied.

He went out with Mo Yuan?

Mo Yu frowned, considering that Mo Yuan had never taken Mo Chen out on his own since they were children. Could something have happened while she was not at home these past few days?

"Aqiao, go find out what has happened at home these past few days."

"Yes." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Aqiao put down the suitcase and headed out.

Mo Yu took off her coat and sat down on the sofa.

She reached for the teacup that the servant handed her and took a slight sip.

It wasn’t long before Aqiao returned.

With a grave expression, she said, "Madam, the servants say that the head of the household fainted and was sent to the hospital yesterday."

"Bang—"

The teacup slipped from her hand, smashing to the floor.

Mo Yu stood up abruptly, her face filled with alarm, "Where is Mo Yuan now?"

How could he suddenly faint without anyone informing her?

"After the head of the household was taken to the hospital that day, he returned home later that night; it was nothing serious," Aqiao said.

Mo Yu let out a slight sigh of relief but still couldn’t completely put her mind at ease.

She picked up her phone, about to make a call, when Mo Su walked in from outside.

"Mom."

"Mo Su, why didn’t you tell me about your dad fainting?" Mo Yu put down the phone and asked urgently.

"Why did he faint?"

"I’m not fully aware of the specifics, but it was Mo Chen who took him to the hospital, he notified Ye Jiuliang, but didn’t inform me," Mo Su said emotionlessly.

Mo Yu’s face darkened, her voice rising involuntarily, "Mo Chen notified Ye Jiuliang?"

Had Mo Chen lost his mind? He didn’t inform his own family but notified Ye Jiuliang instead?

Mo Su nodded and then continued, "Not only that, but Dad also asked me to stop the plan to acquire shares of MK Group from the shareholders. However, Ye Jiuliang had already bought Christie’s shares in advance."

"Dad and Mo Chen had a lunch appointment with Ye Jiuliang today; they should be back soon."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu almost lost her breath.

She had only been away for a few days, yet so much had happened.

Could Mo Yuan have remembered something?

Just then, a car horn sounded from outside.

Mo Yu forced herself to calm down, looking up towards the door as Mo Yuan and Mo Chen returned.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

"Uh..." Not expecting to encounter Mo Yu as soon as he got back, Mo Chen’s smile froze.

He called out quietly, "Mom."

"Do you even remember that I’m your mom?" Mo Yu said coldly and displeased.
