"Outrageous, absolutely outrageous!"
Mo Jiantao returned to his office and furiously smashed two vases.
"Why is President Mo so angry?" a cool voice drifted in.
Mo Jiantao turned his head and saw the arrival, his stomach churning with more anger, "You dare to show up! I told you to stay close to Mo Shu and to report back to me immediately if there was any trouble. Is this how you do your job?"
Uncle Dong felt extremely wronged, "Who knew what she has been thinking recently? She wouldn’t let me follow her anymore and kept sending me off to handle trivial matters."
Hearing this, Mo Jiantao frowned, "Is she starting to suspect you?"
"It shouldn’t be the case," Uncle Dong confidently sat down on the sofa, "I’ve been with her for over ten years. I am the person she trusts the most."
"That’s not necessarily true," Mo Jiantao sneered, "She’s just like her dead mother, too easily influenced. Lately, she has been putting a lot of trust in that Ji Nan. Could that girl be talking bad about you behind your back?"
"No way, Ji Nan was handpicked by me; she’s not articulate nor particularly sharp. She’s not capable of that."
"Don’t be too confident," Mo Jiantao sneered, "Be careful or the goose might pluck out your eyes."
Uncle Dong’s expression flickered, considering his words, then suddenly, as if remembering something, said, "Didn’t I give you a necklace a couple of days ago? Where is it now?"
"I sent it to the auction. Should fetch a few tens of millions to spend," said Mo Jiantao, his face showing envy, "That wench’s jewelry, such valuable pieces one after another."
Uncle Dong’s face changed, "Oh no, I took the wrong one, that necklace was the engagement gift from the Yu Family..."
"Isn’t that even better?" Mo Jiantao sneered, "Yu Siqiao will also be at the auction tonight. That kid already dislikes Mo Shu. If he sees his engagement gift getting auctioned off, do you think he might use that as an excuse to call off the engagement?"
Uncle Dong wore a strange expression, "She’s your daughter though."
"So what if she’s my daughter? She competed with me for the inheritance; she should pay the price!" Mo Jiantao felt a surge of pleasure thinking about Mo Shu’s impending downfall, "Without the support of the Yu Family, what can she use to fight me?"
Uncle Dong’s face went through a series of changes, finally saying, "That’s fine, this is also a good opportunity to get rid of Ji Nan and gain merit to return to her side."
"Don’t worry, I’ll keep my promise to you, you won’t miss out on a single penny," Mo Jiantao smiled contentedly, "I’m really looking forward to seeing Yu Siqiao’s expression when he sees that necklace."
Tonight’s auction was extremely grand.
It was only second in extravagance to the annual exchange celebration of the large families.
Such a celebration was only attended by those representing the face of their respective families.
Hence, all the attendees were familiar faces often seen in these circles.
Coming to represent the Mo Family, Mo Jiantao was in very high spirits.
What good did it do for Mo Shu to be favored?
She still didn’t have the qualifications to attend, right? Google seaʀᴄh NoveI[F]ire.net
As long as he made a splash at the event tonight and Yu Siqiao seized the chance to call off the engagement, a pincer attack like that would cast Mo Shu’s future into darkness.
Thinking about Mo Shu possibly being disengaged made Mo Jiantao feel invigorated.
"President Mo~" a syrupy, bone-melting voice called out.
