Chapter 916: Second Cousin Is Beaten Up (2)
Mo Beihan was amused. He toppled onto the bed with his arms still around her. “It’s late. Time to turn in!”
***
When Gu Qingyao awoke the next morning, she found that Mo Beihan was still holding her tightly in his arms. She raised her head and discovered that he was sleeping soundly while embracing her.
He had flung all her clothes onto the floor. She nuzzled against him. She looked at the festive room. She still felt that everything seemed so surreal.
This was their wedding, which they had looked forward to over two lifetimes. At the moment, her only sensation was one of bliss!
After she visited her family on the third day, Mo Beihan brought Gu Qingyao to the mountaintop villa for their honeymoon. Meanwhile, at the Mo house, Jiang Hongying and Mo Yunhao were going through hell.
Old Master Mo’s health had improved greatly, and he could now speak clearly. He looked sternly at Mo Huai, Jiang Hongying, and Mo Yunhao.
“Your bags have been packed for you. You can leave now!”
Mo Yunhao knelt before the Old Master, weeping bitterly.
Jiang Hongying looked around with reddened eyes. “Old Master, must you be so hardhearted? Must you force us to leave?”
Old Master Mo said, “This is the Mo family home. This is my home. I can choose whom I like to stay here.”
“But we are your son, daughter-in-law and grandson. Why shouldn’t we be allowed to stay in the Mo house?”
Old Master Mo smiled coldly and said, “I built the Mo family with my own sweat and blood. As a father, I have raised my son and given my children and grandchildren a good life. I have provided you with a comparatively good life. You are more than fifty years old, but you are still like nursing children. Why should I continue to support you?
“Yunhao is already married and has established his own family. He should be independent.”
“Then why don’t Mo Beihan, Mo Chengrui and the rest need to leave and be independent?”
“Beihan is the Mo family’s successor. This is his home. As for Chengrui and the other children, they aren’t married yet. In fact, they haven’t even grown up. They have the right to live here.
“They have the ability to purchase their own houses. This is the family home. They can stay if I permit them to do so. But if I do not permit them to stay, I can also make them leave.”
Old Master Mo looked at Jiang Hongying. He had a poor impression of this selfish and greedy woman. “You can only be proud of what you have achieved with your own abilities. Your entire family has always depended on me, but you still dare to question me? Are you completely shameless? Aren’t you embarrassed that your parents are still supporting you at your age?”
Jiang Hongying’s face flushed. She fumed for a long time but could not refute the Old Master’s words. She glanced at Mo Huai, who just stood there with his head bowed. How she detested him!
“Our family has to depend on our parents because your son is so useless!”
Grandma Mo laughed coldly. “My son has been useless for a long time. Jiang Hongying, when you married into the family, what you liked was not my son, but his status as the Mo family’s oldest son.
“You wanted to be the Mo family’s most senior daughter-in-law, and that’s what you have been for many years. What do you have to complain about?
“If Mo Huai had any ability, the Mo family would not need to marry you!”
This reprimand completely silenced Jiang Hongying. At the moment, they were alone and friendless in the Mo family. They had no authority to say anything.
Mo Yunhao cried even harder. “Grandfather, Grandma, it’s my fault! I know I was wrong. Please don’t force me to leave. I still owe six hundred thousand yuan. What will I do without the Mo family?
“I don’t want to go to jail! I don’t want to go to jail!”
He had thought very highly of himself in the past. He had plenty of rich friends and could easily get hold of a few hundred thousand yuan. But now he realized he had nothing, just as before!
