Chapter 14: 014 Digging a Hole

"What?" Li Ruyu’s face turned pale, "I never expected Chu Liyan to have such a move up his sleeve! Even in death, he won’t let us be at ease!"

"My brother-in-law has always been clever, it’s just a pity," Zhao Shendong’s sinister eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, "that no matter how much he calculated, he never expected that his daughter, once she grew up, would turn out to be a complete business dud."

A sneer also appeared on Li Ruyu’s face, "Exactly, what accomplishments could that dud have? Chu Corporation will only thrive under the control of our Ling’er."

Upstairs, the room’s light was off.

Chu Jin sat in front of the computer, although she had headphones on and her fingers were rapidly striking the keyboard.

But the words from downstairs, every single one of them, had fallen into her ears - so this family was still scheming against Chu Corporation.

When the word ’dud’ reached her ears, her slightly pursed red lips slowly curved into a radiant smile.

Her fingers did not stop moving; in the quiet room, only the pitter-patter of fingertips colliding with the keyboard could be heard.

Multitasking was a skill she had mastered back when she was Qin Jie.

In the top right corner of the computer screen, there was a green logo "Original Literature Network."

This was a website focused on original literary works.

The website was not very well-known in literary circles, but it had published many famous pieces.

In her previous life, she had registered an author account on this website and saved the entire draft of "The World and You" in the draft box.

In her previous life, Lu Yan became famous throughout China mainland because of her "The World and You".

In this life, she would let Lu Yan be utterly disgraced because of this work!

Fortunately, it was two months before the accident of her previous life.

There was still time.

The complete work was 450,000 words.

Chu Jin moved the mouse over to ’Edit Work Information’, and one by one, deleted the characters "The World and You".

Then, she slowly typed in four characters "Blooms like Brocade".

After setting up the update time, she logged out.

Meanwhile, at the Mo family’s residence.

The atmosphere in the living room was cold, making the servants standing on the side extremely cautious, fearing that any slip-up might irritate the two people in the room.

"Such a big matter, why didn’t you discuss it with me?" Mo Zhixuan’s voice carried a slight chill.

If he hadn’t asked someone to check, he would never have known that he suddenly had a fiancée.

No wonder that person had gone to such lengths to get close to Mo Qingyi, harboring such deep intentions.

"Discuss with you?" Madam Mo glanced at Mo Zhixuan, "Would it have made any difference? Master Zhang said, the sooner this matter is settled the better. That girl’s life horoscope can change the Mo family’s destiny and is our family’s savior. Only by confirming this arrangement a day earlier can I be at ease."

Life horoscope? He did not believe in such things!

Mo Zhixuan frowned, "The same was said about the previous 18."

And what was the result? Still unable to escape destiny.

Madam Mo was initially caught off guard but quickly recovered, persuading earnestly: "Xuan’er, this one is truly different from the others. Just trust mother this once, everything I do is for your benefit."

"Mother, I cannot agree to this. Please call off the marriage tomorrow," Mo Zhixuan insisted resolutely.

"That’s out of the question!" Madam Mo’s stance was just as determined, "I will not call off this marriage!"

"Fine," Mo Zhixuan stood up from the sofa, "If you disagree, then I will have to make a trip myself tomorrow."

"No, you can’t go," Madam Mo stood up as well, "Xuan’er, tell me honestly, are you still thinking about the Zheng family’s Zheng Chuyi?"

Mo Zhixuan’s expression was indifferent, "She’s irrelevant."

"It had better not be about her. Xuan’er, you can’t afford to be foolish at a time like this. Back then, Zheng Chuyi knew about your situation, yet she chose to leave without looking back. Does she really think that apart from herself, no one else can get close to you?" Madam Mo’s face showed a thick layer of hatred when she mentioned Zheng Chuyi.

"Xuan’er, can you just listen to mother this time?" Madam Mo’s expression softened, looking moved, "I promise, this will be the last time. If it doesn’t work out this time, I’ll never arrange another marriage for you again."

Mo Zhixuan’s gaze was deep, "Mother, not just anyone is worthy to enter the Mo family’s doors."

"Xuan’er, I understand how you feel." Madam Mo sighed, "How about this: Tomorrow is the Zhao family head’s birthday. You can go in disguise to take a look. If you really cannot approve of the girl from the Chu family, then the Zhao family’s young lady is also born in an auspicious hour, day, and month."

As long as Mo Zhixuan took a liking to her, she had plenty of ways to make the Zhao family agree.

With the conversation reaching this point, Mo Zhixuan had no choice but to compromise reluctantly.

He nodded slightly, "Understood. You should rest early."

After that, he turned and left. The moment he stepped out of the Mo family’s doors, a violent wind arose outside, along with flashes of lightning and peals of thunder.
