Uncle Dong had become a high-ranking executive in one of Yu Siqiao's subsidiaries, enjoying a prestigious position.
When Mo Shu went to beg him for help, Uncle Dong's demeanor was utterly indifferent, like shooing away a beggar, tossing her a few hundred dollars as he casually said, "Go buy something to eat. Someone, drag the esteemed Princess Mo out for me."
Mo Shu's hand tightened slightly.
Uncle Dong, aware of Mo Shu's small movement, shuddered and asked, "Princess Mo, what's the matter?"
Mo Shu then snapped back to reality, shaking her head, "Where did you leave off?"
Uncle Dong was somewhat dissatisfied with her lack of attention and said, "I was saying, that little wretch shouldn't attend Mo Business school. With her cunning ways, a brain sharper than yours, and more eloquent too, if she graduates from Mo Business, your position will be unstable!"
The implication of his words was highly provocative.
If this had been Mo Shu from before, she would have taken Uncle Dong's words to heart and oppressed Qin An, denying her any opportunity without question.
Although Qin An later entered Mo Business, it was only after Qin Yuan had pleaded bitterly with Mr. Mo.
Mo Shu appeared unconcerned and said, "There's only one heir with the Mo surname in this family, and that's me. She doesn't have what it takes."
Uncle Dong was very dissatisfied with her response and said, "Don't underestimate her, that little wretch is extremely ambitious. Just look at her mother. The moment your mother died, she couldn't wait to seduce your father. Had she not been unlucky enough to be unable to bear children, perhaps the Mo Family fortune would have already been squandered by them!"
Whether they were scheming or not, Mo Shu didn't know.
But what she was certain of was that Uncle Dong played a significant role in the decline of the Mo Family.
Mo Shu didn't engage further and instead said, "How can I meet Grandpa looking ? I'm going to change."
Uncle Dong was delighted, thinking he had persuaded her, and said, "Hurry along."
Mr. Mo was sixty-nine this year but still strong and agile, now playing chess with Qin An.
Suddenly, the sound of high heels, paced with rhythm and exuding grace and composure, was heard from outside.
Then followed the tender voice of his beloved granddaughter, "Grandpa~"
Qin An paused, turning her head to look.
She saw Mo Shu, who just moments ago at the engagement banquet had been stunning in a solemn red dress, had now changed into a black long gown that perfectly enveloped her figure, enhancing her delicate beauty.
The velvet material highlighted her already luminous skin, making it seem even more crystal-clear, and her aloof and arrogant aura was evident without any effort.
Every time Qin An saw Mo Shu, she couldn't help but feel inferior and ashamed.
She was too dazzling, too beautiful.
Just standing beside her, Qin An felt utterly out of place. Google seaʀᴄh novel⸺fire.net
"Aye!" Mr. Mo's eyes crinkled with laughter, he beckoned affectionately to his precious granddaughter and said, "Come here to Grandpa."
Mo Shu immediately moved closer, her smile radiant and cheerful, as she said, "Really, Grandpa, leaving your granddaughter outside while you sneak off to play chess with Qin An. You didn't even call for me!"
Mr. Mo had always doted on his only granddaughter; faced with her coyness now, he found it irresistible and laughed helplessly, "Why would I call you? Today is your engagement party; you must be too busy cultivating feelings with Si Qiao, that boy."
Hearing this, Uncle Dong immediately said with glee, "Old Man, when I found the Princess just now, she was on the rooftop with Young Master Yu, just the two of them!"
