"Marry her? Mo Xunjie! Even if you marry this b * tch, the Mo family will not acknowledge her identity! Who was she? How dare you climb up to our Mo family! Why don't you look in the mirror! Xun Jie, it's not that I want to criticize you, but you're already so old. Can't you even tell the difference between good and bad?”There was a hidden meaning in Li Mengqin's words. She was implying that Luo Weiru was trying to climb up the social ladder.
"Even if you don't think about your father and me. You have to think for our Mo Corporation! Is it a loss for you to marry Yanran? Yanran was a famous socialite in Rong City, and she was top-notch in terms of looks, education, and personality! Could it be that she can't compare to this third-rate celebrity beside you? Moreover, Yanran's feelings for you have started since she was young. It's been so many years. Yanran has suffered so much for you! As a childhood sweetheart, you don't feel heartache, but as a mother, I do!”After Li Mengqin finished speaking, she pretended to take out a handkerchief and wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"You child! Couldn't he let his mother worry? Do you feel that Mom's life is too comfortable, so you have to be so angry at me?”Li Mengqin, who had been speaking with a strong voice, had unknowingly started to cry. She talked about how difficult it was for her to raise Mo Xunjie and how troublesome Mo Xunjie was, making her worry.
Hearing that Luo Weiru, who was standing at the side, felt that she had committed a heinous crime, she felt especially upset.
" That…" Luo Weiru pointed at her fingers and looked into Li Mengqin's sharp eyes. Luo Weiru took a closer look and realized that Li Mengqin's appearance was somewhat similar to Mo Xunjie's, especially that pair of upturned phoenix eyes. The dazzling light emitted from them made it difficult for people to look away.
"Um, you guys…can you guys not quarrel?”Luo Weiru didn't know what to say and could only persuade him softly. The gazes from both sides made her feel a lot of pressure.
Li Mengqin glared at Luo Weiru. Her eyes were clearly saying that they quarreled because of her!
Luo Weiru was so scared. Could it be that the rich ladies 'eyes were all so sharp, like a sharp knife that could cut people?
"Ha! Who are you! Is it your place to speak here? Don't think I can't tell what kind of trash you are.”Li Mengqin's tone changed. When she faced Luo Weiru, she was far less gentle than when she faced Mo Xunjie. Every word was as sharp as a knife.
"I've seen many women like you who want to marry into a rich family and hook up with a rich husband! Why don't you go and find out what kind of existence our Mo family has in Rong City? Do you think our Mo family can accept an actress like you as our daughter-in-law? You must be dreaming! Our Mo family is not someone a small family like you can climb up to. If you know what's good for you, quickly break up with my son and get out of the Mo family. Otherwise, don't force me to kick you out myself.”
Li Mengqin's gaze was as cold as a sharp knife, stabbing mercilessly at Luo Weiru.
Luo Weiru's face was flushed red from Li Mengqin's sharp words. Although she didn't really want to marry Mo Xunjie, her strong self-esteem still made her extremely angry.
She clearly knew that everything was fake and that Mo Xunjie was the one who directed the whole thing, but why did her heart still ache so much because of what Mo Xunjie's mother had said?
"Xun Jie, I can understand that you like this girl. But I can't understand why you want to marry her. Our Mo family is also considered a reputable figure. It is absolutely impossible for us to choose a woman who goes out and shows her face in public as our daughter-in-law. Besides, you also know that the entertainment industry is so chaotic. Who knows if this girl's background is clean or not? Who knows, he might have contracted some dirty disease and passed it on to you. What would happen?”Li Mengqin covered her nose and distanced herself from Luo Weiru as if she really had some infectious bacteria on her.
How could Luo Weiru not know that Li Mengqin was mocking her for having a dirty background?
The entertainment industry was full of unspoken rules, erotic photos, and drug abuse. It was normal for Li Mengqin to think this way. However, Luo Weiru was not the kind of person Li Mengqin thought she was.
Luo Weiru had debuted for three years, but she had only acted in two or three TV series so far. Her career was not very successful, and she was not even a second-rate actress. If it wasn't for her marriage with Mo Xunjie being made public, Luo Weiru's career would have ended here.
Among Luo Weiru's classmates, one of them had already made it to the A-list. Two years ago, she and Luo Weiru had gone to audition for the role of the second female lead in a movie. Initially, the role had already been decided on for Luo Weiru, but she did not expect that Luo Weiru would receive a notice two days later that she had been replaced. The person who replaced her was none other than her classmate. Luo Weiru had gone to ask for the reason, and the staff had probably told her that the female star was being kept by a rich man because they felt sorry for her. The investors had been pressured to change the role.
From then on, Luo Weiru understood. The big stage that looked colorful was always filled with dark corners that the sun could not reach. Luo Weiru had the opportunity to be kept, to be cheated on, to be made famous by her godfather. Luo Weiru had always kept her bottom line and her principles as a person. As a result, Luo Weiru's reputation in the entertainment industry was still lukewarm.
Today, she heard Li Mengqin say that about her. One could imagine the grievance in Luo Weiru's heart.
Luo Weiru's eyes were red, and tears were already swirling in her eyes. Mo Xunjie unexpectedly grabbed Luo Weiru's shoulders and gently pulled her into his embrace.
" Xun, Xunjie…" Luo Weiru called out in a low voice like a mosquito. Then, she used her fingers to gently pinch Mo Xunjie's suit and tugged at it. Her expression was cautious and terrified. Coupled with the tears in her eyes, she looked especially lovable.
Unknowingly, the small face in his arms overlapped with the face of the person from three years ago.
The scene back then was also very similar to the present. Just like Luo Weiru, she curled up in her arms and begged him softly, begging him not to be angry with her mother. But in the end, he could only watch helplessly as his beloved girl was rendered speechless by her mother's scolding, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Enough! No matter what you say, I must marry Luo Weiru. You don't have to say anything more. When have I ever changed my mind?”
Mo Xunjie's unyielding attitude made Li Mengqin laugh in anger.""Do you think she's qualified to be our Mo family's daughter-in-law? Can she be of any help to your career? Just based on her identity as a third-rate actress, she has lowered the status of our Mo Corporation in the eyes of the public!”
Mo Xunjie's eyes darkened." So what if I can't? Could it be that the family's interests are more important than my happiness in your eyes?”
"Happiness?" Li Mengqin chuckled." If you didn't have the Mo Corporation, if you didn't have money, if you didn't have your current status and background, do you think there would still be women who would like you?" Don't be silly, Xun 'er!"
"Perhaps you should know better than I do.”The smile on his lips grew colder, and his eyes were filled with hostility.
"Good! Good! Good! Your wings have hardened, so I can't control you anymore, right? Fine, if you want to marry her, then marry her! As long as you don't regret it! However, if you want to marry her, you have to give up the right to inherit the Mo Corporation! Do you dare? Xun 'er, our family is a merchant family. We have been doing business for generations. The blood of merchants flows in our bodies. Mom believes in you. You won't sacrifice your own interests for a woman. Just like…three years ago."
Li Mengqin said with certainty. She was sure that her son would not give up the glory of the rest of his life because of a little Luo Weiru. She was right. The blood of merchants flowed in the Mo family for generations. This blood told them that they would not give up their own interests even if they gave up anything.
But this time, Li Mengqin's wishful thinking was wrong.
"As you wish."
Mo Xunjie threw out these four words and clasped his hands together."Don't forget, I'm no longer the same person as I was three years ago.”
After Mo Xunjie finished speaking, he pulled Luo Weiru up and walked out.
"Hey hey hey, my foot, my foot!”Before Luo Weiru could react, Mo Xunjie pulled her up. The moment her right foot landed on the ground, she screamed in pain.
"Ahhh! It hurt! Can you walk slower?!"
Luo Weiru screamed as she tried to shake off Mo Xunjie's hand.
"Shut up."
These two words successfully stopped Luo Weiru from screaming. She pouted and followed with a dissatisfied and aggrieved look.
A second before the door of the villa was about to close, Luo Weiru unintentionally turned around and looked. In the sun-filled hall, the woman who was as proud as a peacock was sitting in a room made of luxury goods. At this moment, her face was ashen, like a child who had lost her beloved doll. She was in a daze.
Creak--
The woman's figure was completely submerged.
Luo Weiru was not wearing any shoes. As soon as she left the villa, she was hurt by the small stones on the road. Mo Xunjie was furious and only cared about walking forward. It seemed that he could not care about her tenderness. Luo Weiru could only endure the pain in her feet and follow.
When they reached the path down the mountain, Luo Weiru hopped up to Mo Xunjie. After making sure that there was no one around, she tugged at Mo Xunjie's sleeve and asked softly,""Is your mother serious?" Even though Mo Xunjie's status and circumstances would not allow him to live a life of poverty if he was stripped of his right to be the heir, who would give her the remaining 20 million yuan if Mo Xunjie really lost his right to be the heir?
Mo Xunjie narrowed his eyes." Don't worry. You'll get the money." This isn't the first time she's told me this. It worked the first time, but would it work every time?”
Mo Xunjie said something that Luo Weiru didn't understand. Luo Weiru didn't think too much about it. She just felt that it would be fine as long as Mo Xunjie gave her the 30 million.
"Looks like I made the right choice in choosing you.”
Suddenly, these words rang in Luo Weiru's ears.
“？”Luo Weiru cast a puzzled look.
"You like money, and you're greedy enough. This way, I won't have to worry about the future. However, I must warn you, don't ever fall in love with me, Luo Weiru.”
Luo Weiru rolled her eyes. Where did this egomaniac come from? Since when did she like money and become greedy? The one who liked money was her father, and the one who was greedy was also her father!
The most infuriating thing was…
"Hey! Mo Xunjie, don't be so confident! Who would fall in love with you! He was so cocky and had a coffin face! Why didn't you say that you would fall in love with me?”Luo Weiru struggled to stand on one leg with her hands on her hips, like an angry hen.
"Okay, okay, okay. Miss Luo, I will fall in love with you, okay?”Mo Xunjie gave Luo Weiru a rare smile that came from the bottom of his heart. He walked to Luo Weiru's side and bent over, indicating for Luo Weiru to come up so that he could carry her down the mountain.
Lying on Mo Xunjie's broad back, Luo Weiru was about to fall asleep in a daze.
In her half-awake state, Luo Weiru seemed to hear Mo Xunjie's voice.
A cool breeze blew past her face, and Mo Xunjie's words entered her ears unharmed.
Mo Xunjie was saying,"Seriously, don't love me."”
His heart suddenly ached.
But what should he do?
Mo Xunjie, I think I'm starting to like you."
