The man’s name was Yun Jing, and he was a medical genius. However, because of this, he was targeted by some shady forces. A few years ago, when he escaped to Qingyuan Village, and Mo Zhu’s grandma had taken him in, and he saved her grandma when she was in danger. The two of them had a relationship where they had a close shave from death, but they didn’t know much about each other.
“How are you?”
“It’s a little dangerous. Those idiots, I’ll be practicing medicine in Africa for the time being.”
“Are you targeted again?”!!
“Don’t worry, you’ll be fine,” the girl said with absolute certainty.
“That’s true. After so many years, they couldn’t find me. They all thought that someone was backing me up. But for me, I hope that it’s ‘Lin’.” Yun Jing chuckled.
Before long, Yun Jing was called to go and save someone.
Mo Zhu unhurriedly took out her computer, and a few red dots appeared on the map-like interface. The girl’s fingers on her phone moved quickly, and in a few seconds, the red dots disappeared. It was nothing new for the girl, and she turned off the computer.
The next morning, someone knocked on Mo Zhu’s door really early. It was Aunt Zhang, the person who had opened the door yesterday.
“Ms. Mo, it’s time to get up. Madam has instructed us to attend the lunch with the Huo Family this afternoon. It’s not good to be late.”
Madam Zhang had been with Matriarch Fang before she even got married. Naturally, she looked down on Mo Zhu who had come from the countryside. In her eyes, Mo Zhu was just a person to be used. She was not even as decent as a servant like her.
“Oh,” said Mo Zhu before heading downstairs. Qin Ya and Fang Ran were already sitting down. Fang Ran was talking to Qin Ya, making her laugh happily. And when the two of them saw Mo Zhu, they stopped. The happy family scene was disrupted by Mo Zhu.
When Qin Ya saw that Mo Zhu was still dressed the same as yesterday, she scolded, “Why aren’t you wearing the clothes I bought for you? Remember to change into a gown later. You have to see Young Master Huo in the afternoon.”
Mo Zhu ignored her and sat down to eat breakfast.
“How uneducated. Your sister and I were waiting downstairs for you to have breakfast together. You didn’t even greet us before eating?”
“Don’t I have to thank you for my lack of manners?” Mo Zhu raised her head.
Qin Ya choked. Fang Ran quickly comforted Qin Ya while Qin Ya praised Fang Ran like a baby.
“Xiao Zhu.”
A gentle male voice sounded. Mo Zhu looked up and Father Fang came down from upstairs. Mo Zhu remembered him from last night and he was the only person who did not show disdain towards her.
Father Fang sat down beside Mo Zhu and gave Qin Ya a questioning look.
“Did you sleep well last night?”
“It’s alright!” In fact, Mo Zhu had not been sleeping well. There were bruises under her eyes, and since Aunt Zhang had started calling for her at seven in the morning, her cold face had shown her usual laziness.
“Xiao Zhu, if you don’t want to marry Huo Xuan, I’ll think of another way.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Ya and Fang Ran’s expressions changed drastically.
“How can this do?!”
Father Fang was already unhappy with Qin Ya’s actions since some time ago. “Both Xiao Zhu and Ran Ran are your daughters, Qin Ya!”
The girl laughed softly. “Stop arguing. Fine, I’ll marry him.”
Mo Zhu’s face was full of indifference as if she was not the one who was marrying.
“Xiao Zhu, you…” Father Fang hesitated.
Qin Ya and Fang Ran heaved a sigh of relief.
At Yun Cheng’s largest hotel
Everyone from the Fang family had already taken their seats. Mo Zhu was also brought in from the private room. She was still playing games on her phone.
Matriarch Fang wanted to teach her a lesson, but it was as if she was talking to a wall. In the end, she could only turn her head to Qin Ya who was behind her.
Qin Ya could only swallow and glare at Mo Zhu who had made her lose face.
However, all of this did not affect Mo Zhu at all. The person in question just found a comfortable seat and continued playing her game.
Not long after, the Huo family arrived. It was Huo Xuan and Xu Huan. Everyone looked at the man who was wearing a silver mask. Although his movements were lazy, they could not resist the noble and intimidating aura around him. The young master of the Xu family also came.
The crowd did not dare to be negligent and welcomed them with flattery. Only Mo Zhu, who was in the corner, continued playing her game and was not disturbed by the outside world.
Xu Huan also noticed this girl.
Matriarch Fang shot a look at Qin Ya, who pulled Mo Zhu up and said, “Young Master Huo, this is my daughter, your fiancée.”
“Oh? The beloved daughter of the Fang family?” Huo Xuan playfully added the word ‘beloved’.
However, when Qin Ya met Huo Xuan’s gaze, she trembled uncontrollably.
“Using the Fang family’s stepdaughter to muddle through?” Xu Huan’s scrutinizing gaze landed on Fang Ran, almost scaring her to tears.
The Fang family quickly apologized.
“You’re about to die, of course, they won’t marry the outstanding Fang Ran to you.”
“Bastard, what are you saying!” With Matriarch Fang as the leader, all sorts of nasty words began to fall on Mo Zhu.
“If they hadn’t taken my grandmother away, I wouldn’t be willing either.” The young woman waved her hand nonchalantly at Huo Xuan.
“Hehe…” Young Master Huo, who was the most cold-blooded and cruel person in the capital, actually laughed in front of the crowd.
His deep eyes locked onto Mo Zhu and the two of them stared at each other for a long time.
“Since she’s my fiancée,” Huo Xuan looked up with a faint smile. “She isn’t someone anyone can bully.” Then, he walked out of the private room.
Xu Huan had a good impression of this girl, who was neither servile nor overbearing. “Little sister-in-law, goodbye.”
They left behind a house full of frightened people and Mo Zhu, who was still out of the picture.
