“Ha ha ha ha, good! Good!” When Elder Mo heard Mo Li’s reply, he approved greatly. He lifted his head and looked into Mo Li’s crystal clear eyes. Mo Li’s answer was calm and clear, this was not a sudden whim, she had thought about this a long time already. “Next time, when your father or brothers go on a business trip, you should go with them. Go and get to know the Mo Family business empire, it should be good preparation for your future.” Elder Mo’s voice was loud and clear. It startled the eldest Young Master Xu was who standing around.
What does the old man mean by that? Is he going to leave the Mo Family fortune with the girl??The man thought with disbelief.?If that’s the case, I can’t allow this girl to marry my little brother. He already dominates so much of the family business, if he has the wealth brought through his marriage through Mo Li, then I’ll have no space in the Xu Family anymore! I mustn’t allow that to happen!

Mo Li of course could hear the hidden meaning behind her grandfather’s words as well. In the original story, Elder Mo and Old Madam Mo intended to hand over their shares to Mo Li but the girl kept letting them down. This issue became a permanent ache in their hearts. Even at their death beds, they worried about their Sweetie. action
“Our family hasn’t branched into the medical field before but if you need anything, you must tell grandpa.”
Realizing how supportive her family of her, Mo Li’s cheeks flushed and her eyes glowed.
Elder Mo smiled with gratification. Initially, he thought Mo Li had been spoiled beyond rescue. She became so self-centred, her personality, result and characters became worse and worse. But recently, it was like Mo Li had turned over a new leaf, even her gaze was so much clearer than before. Elder Mo loved that clarity he could now see in Mo Li’s eyes.
Mo Li was different from the other juniors at the party. They only knew how to fight for small profits. Mo Li had her own ambitions and knew what she wanted. With the help of her family, Mo Li would definitely lead the Mo Family to higher ground.
Mo Li and Elder Mo only showed up when it was dinner time.
The other young ladies who appeared so pretty, gentle and noble earlier instantly turned into scowling monsters when they saw Mo Li. They heard about Mo Li’s beauty but they didn’t expect her to be so beautiful in person too. They thought Mo Li’s advertisement had been touched up. They were angry to realize that was not the case.
As Mo Li showed up, Qiao Qing, who had been treated as Miss Mo, was instantly forgotten by everyone else. She glared at Mo Li and her fists tighten.?The bitch sure knows how to pick her timing to make an entrance.

“Everyone, come and have a taste. This is our family’s winter-pear pigeon. It’s our family chef’s specialty, you won’t have it anywhere else.”
“We, He Family, supplies the ginseng chicken. Please have a taste too.”
Mo Li saw the spread and she sighed internally. The scale of the rich was indeed different from normal. Dishes on the table were worth millions.
Two of the dishes stood out. They were the Steamed Silkie Chicken and Soft-shelled Turtle Soup prepared by the Xu Family. These two ingredients were extremely rare and notoriously hard to prepare. Old Madam Xu shot a glance at Old Madam Mo and Mo Li. “This is something we whipped up at the last minute. I’m sure it’s nothing compared to what the Mo Family has prepared.” Her tone was dripping with sarcasm. After all, she had to prepare months in advance for these two dishes, she refused to believe she could be outdone this time!
Old Madam Mo looked at Mo Li and smiled. “As the host, we Mo Family feels that it’s necessary to prepare more than one dish.” Then Old Madam Mo clapped her hands and the service staff shuffled out like an endless flow of water. “We have prepared about 30 dishes. The names of the dishes string together to form a poem. This was an idea from Mo Li. She’s always so clever with these things.”
Old Madam Mo returned Old Madam Xu her gaze. Old Madam Mo was certain that everyone’s jaw would be dropped.
