The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 691, Resign from the position of President (17)
"You still know I’m your mother?" Mo Yu said with a cold face, clearly displeased.
"Such a big thing as your father fainting, and you dare to hide it from us."
Mo Chen was at a loss for words, "I..."
"It was I who told him not to say anything," Mo Yuan walked in, speaking indifferently.
Mo Yu looked at him incredulously, "Mo Yuan, what do you mean by that?"
In contrast to her anger, Mo Yuan was calm, "It’s a minor issue, not worth making a fuss over."
"Fine, then Mo Chen, why did you inform Ye Jiuliang about our family matters, why notify an outsider about our issues?" Mo Yu challenged, dissatisfied.
Mo Chen touched his nose and said quietly, "Dad didn’t let me tell you, and I couldn’t find anyone to help, so I got anxious and thought of Sister Ajiu."
Hearing this, Mo Yu became even more irritated.
When he got anxious, he knew to call Ye Jiuliang but forgot about his own family members.
What kind of son had she raised? One that was truly born to infuriate her.
"I’m not seriously hurt, let’s not argue about this anymore," Mo Yuan said, annoyed and no longer wanting to continue the topic.
"Mo Yuan, there’s something else I want to ask you, why did you stop Mo Su from acquiring the shares of MK Group?" Mo Yu asked forcefully.
Mo Yuan’s brow furrowed slightly, his voice low and cold, "I will discuss this matter with the Old Master. Acquiring shares of MK Group will not benefit us and will only lead to a lose-lose situation in the end."
"And what about Ye Jiuliang? How can she acquire shares of Tengyue Group? Mo Yuan, don’t be too biased," Mo Yu couldn’t maintain her composure and rationality, especially when it came to anything related to Ye Jiuliang.
"Favoring one over another?"
Mo Yuan gave a cold laugh, "If Mo Su hadn’t stirred up trouble first, why would someone bother to acquire shares of Tengyue Group? If Mo Su is willing to back off, this issue can come to an end."
No matter how she heard it, Mo Yu still felt he was siding with Ye Jiuliang. Anger burned in her chest, consuming her rationality.
She clenched her teeth, a hoarse voice emanating from her throat, "Mo Yuan, don’t you go too far."
In an instant, an invisible smell of gunpowder filled the air.
The tense atmosphere was intimidating.
Mo Chen hung his head, his face full of worry.
This was truly a difficult situation.
Mo Yuan looked at her with unfazed eyes, took out his phone, and dialed the Old Master’s number in front of her.
Putting the call on speaker, the Old Master’s voice came through from the other end, "Mo Yuan, what is it?"
"Stepfather, I am against the acquisition of MK Group’s shares," Mo Yuan said straightforwardly without beating around the bush.
On the other end, the Old Master’s face turned ashen.
What exactly was Mo Yu up to, letting her persuade Mo Yuan, how had she handled the matter?
His voice, hoarse and authoritative, sounded, "Mo Yuan, I instructed Mo Su to do it, do you have any objections?"
"Tengyue Group is on the brink of collaboration with MK Group; there’s no need to stand on opposing sides. Moreover, nearly ninety percent of MK Group’s shares are in Li Mochan’s hands, and the remaining ten percent won’t benefit us at all, even if acquired. It might even sour our relations with MK Group," Mo Yuan analyzed methodically.
What he said, the Old Master had already considered thoroughly. However, the main point of acquiring shares of MK Group was to trouble Li Mochan. That ten percent, though small, could still be highly useful if managed well and might even inflict significant damage on MK Group.
"Mo Yuan, I have my own plans for this matter; don’t interfere," the Old Master stated unequivocally, leaving no room for argument.
Mo Yuan was not annoyed; his expression remained calm, betraying neither joy nor anger. "Unless I’m no longer the President of Tengyue Group, Father, you’re asking me to abstain."
As his words fell, silence enveloped the surroundings.
Mo Chen looked at Mo Yuan, eyes widened with an incredulity deep within.
Although he had long known that in this home, only his own father dared to contradict the old master, he had never anticipated his father challenging the old master so boldly.
"Mo Yuan, don’t speak out of temper," Mo Yu’s shock was quickly replaced by anxiety, her face darkening with urgency.
The old master couldn’t stand anyone defying him, and with Mo Yuan brazenly challenging him, it was likely the old master would no longer tolerate him.
Mo Yuan, as if deaf to it all, waited quietly for the old master’s response.
"Mo Yuan, are you threatening me?" The old master narrowed his eyes dangerously, his face ashen.
He had truly grown too bold, no longer heeding commands.
Mo Yuan spoke slowly, unruffled, "I’m only considering what’s best for Tengyue Group."
"Mo Yuan." Mo Yu was frantic, fearing he would truly provoke the old master.
"Since that’s what you’ve said, fine. As of today, you are relieved of your position as President of Tengyue Group, and you must also hand over your shares," the old master said angrily.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yu’s face registered shock; she urged in a panicked voice, "Father, Mo Yuan is just acting impulsively, please..."
Before she could finish her plea, Mo Yuan interrupted, "Alright."
"Mo Yuan." Mo Yu looked at him, unable to hold back the tears welling up in her eyes, aggrieved by his stubbornness. Couldn’t he just yield to their father for her sake?
He said he wasn’t playing favorites, but how could she believe him?
The last time Ye Jiuliang was here, she knew that letting him see Ye Jiuliang would sooner or later lead to trouble, but she hadn’t expected that day would come so quickly.
The old master, feeling thwarted, immediately hung up the phone.
"Beep... Beep..."
Mo Yuan put away his phone and started up the stairs.
"Mo Yuan." Mo Yu’s gaze followed his retreating figure, her vision blurring with tears. Why couldn’t he heed her advice just once? Defying the old master could well bring him mortal danger, why couldn’t he see the earnestness in her concern?
A glint of triumph flashed in Mo Su’s eyes. With her father stepping down from the President’s position, she was the obvious candidate to succeed him.
Mo Chen looked at Mo Yu, conflicted for a moment, then quickly ran upstairs.
When he found the study, Mo Yuan was packing things up.
Mo Chen raised his hand to knock on the door, calling out softly, "Dad."
Mo Yuan picked up the laptop and put it in the suitcase, then lifted his gaze to Mo Chen, "Come in."
Mo Chen entered, silent for a moment before he tentatively spoke up, "Dad, are you really resigning as President?"
Mo Yuan hummed indifferently, continuing to pack a few clothes into the suitcase.
He zipped it up, placing the suitcase aside, then turned and walked to the desk, pulling open a drawer. He took out a document, "Mo Chen, take this." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"Hmm?" Mo Chen looked puzzled, accepting the document and looking at him questioningly, "What’s this?"
"It’s a share transfer document," explained Mo Yuan.
Indeed, he had anticipated the old master would make this decision. Mo Su had the audacity to acquire shares in MK Group because she must have had the old master’s backing. The old master always disliked being opposed, and his own confrontation with him was bound to spark conflict.
