Chapter 76: The Last Condition
The two bodyguards were so frightened that they quickly let go.
Mo Xinyu and Zhang Qin exchanged glances, not understanding why his attitude seemed a bit different now.
Having gained her freedom, Mo Jun rubbed her aching arm, equally puzzled by what Mo Zhenggang was playing at.
“Mo Jun, you have indeed been very disobedient recently. Not listening, ruining Xinyu’s engagement party, even threatening your father. How could you suddenly become ? This is really disheartening and angering. But no matter what, we are a family. As long as you obey from now on, I will let bygones be bygones!” Mo Zhenggang looked at her imperiously, as if granting mercy like an emperor.
Upon hearing this, Mo Jun knew for certain that she must still be of use to him.
Otherwise, Mo Zhenggang wouldn’t have been so ‘benevolent’ just now.
“Sorry, but I plan to break away from the Mo Family. I won’t obstruct your view, accidentally upset you, or hinder any of your affairs. So let’s just leave each other alone and go our separate ways.” Having said her piece, Mo Jun turned to leave.
“Stop right there—!” Mo Zhenggang bellowed angrily, “Mo Jun, what do you think the Mo Family is? Do you think it’s that easy to just walk away?”
Mo Jun turned around, a scornful sneer curving her lips, “Then tell me, what must I do for you to cut ties with me?”
“Mo Jun, how could the blood relationship between parents and children be severed? That’s impossible to break in a lifetime, so stop being wilful!” Zhang Qin pretended to be earnest and well-meaning in persuading her, but it was all just to continue using and exploiting her.
As if they were fit to use familial ties to bind her?!
Each and every one of them, they were all Mo Jun’s enemies, sworn enemies who wouldn’t rest until one of them perished!
“Exactly what must I do for you to agree to sever ties!” Mo Jun suddenly pressed with a fierce demand, no longer in the mood to play nice, “And let me tell you, if I don’t leave this family, I will not rest even in death.”
Mo Zhenggang and the others immediately darkened their expressions.
The atmosphere around them also became suffocating.
Just when everyone thought Mo Zhenggang would explode, he instead said coldly and somberly, “Do you truly wish to leave the Mo Family?”
“Yes.” Mo Jun’s response was resolute.
“Fine, agree to one final condition. I will not only let you leave but also give you Xiaomo back. How about that?” Mo Zhenggang suddenly proposed, not wanting to waste words with her.
Mo Jun’s expression flickered slightly.
She looked at him with some disbelief, “What did you say?”
Mo Zhenggang thought she was moved by the offer.
“The company is about to collaborate with Baishi Pharmaceutical on the research and development of a drug. If it’s successful, the Mo Family will benefit immensely. If you can succeed in the research, I will let you take your child and leave, and we will be strangers from then on.”
Mo Jun was truly shocked.
Baishi Pharmaceutical…
Weren’t they supposed to collaborate with the Mo Family only in a year’s time? How come it was suddenly brought forward by a year?
What exactly went wrong, causing an event that should have happened a year later to be moved up?
Mo Zhenggang’s eyes narrowed sharply as he stared at her, “Mo Jun, this is your only chance, so consider it carefully.”
Mo Jun lowered her eyes to hide the complex light within them, but soon lifted her gaze and smiled cryptically, “Fine, I agree to your condition. I’ll help you with the research. I don’t want anything in return, but don’t go back on your word.”
“Of course,” Mo Zhenggang laughed briefly, “Remember your words too, you don’t want anything. The research results will still belong to Xinyu.”
Mo Xinyu felt a flare of excitement in her heart.
This was a major project in collaboration with Baishi Pharmaceutical. Soon, she was going to make a name for herself!
