Chapter 114: The Incident at the Banquet

After going around in circles, Mo Yan’s wish of ‘two more’ came true. It was very hard to get invitation letters but somehow they all had invitation letters now.

All the way until the car stopped at the entrance of the hotel where the banquet was being held, the conflicted feelings in Mo Yan’s heart had not yet dissipated.

They were all wearing gowns that they had tried on in the shop during the day and were not ostentatious. However, Mo Yan and Xu Tian could not keep a low profile. Even when they were dressed in work attire, they would attract the attention of others. Now that they were dressed up… Everywhere the three of them pa.s.sed, they would hear discussions about which family they belonged to.

After finding a quiet place, the three of them each took a gla.s.s of wine.

Mo Yan clinked her gla.s.s with Xu Tian and asked, “Sister Xu, when do you think the young master of the Lin family will be back? I overheard that the young master of the Lin family is personally overseeing this project, is that right? I feel like the rumors I hear are always different.”

“Is that so? I’m not sure,” Xu Tian replied.

“It would be good for us to get to know more of the higher-ups of Lin Group tonight. Only by knowing more about the project’s requirements will we have an advantage.”

“Okay.”

Mo Yan nodded. Seeing that Li Guoguo didn’t answer, she looked at her.

Li Guoguo was looking around for something unknown.

“Guoguo, what are you looking for?” Mo Yan asked.

Li Guoguo shook her head. “I’ve never been to such a place before. I’m just looking around.”

Xu Tian’s gaze lingered on Li Guoguo for a long time before she turned to speak to Mo Yan.

“Why are you here?”

A familiar voice suddenly came from behind Mo Yan. When Mo Yan turned around, she suddenly recalled what happened at the beverage shop. However, this time, Mo Dong and Chang Lu were behind Mo Lian.

Looking at the family of three across from her, Mo Yan suddenly thought of her sick mother and her younger brother who had been bullied. She felt that it was extremely ironic.

“If you didn’t call me, I wouldn’t have seen you. Couldn’t you have just ignored me?” Mo Yan said indifferently.

“Mo Yan, how dare you talk to your sister like that! Quickly apologize!”

Mo Dong had not seen Mo Yan since she got married. He thought that Mo Yan was still a little girl who would be afraid of him just because he scolded her.

Mo Yan could not help but smile mockingly when she saw him like this. She would never forget how he used her mother’s medical fees as a bargaining chip in exchange for her getting married. She would also never forget how she asked him for the medical fees, which was the so-called dowry, and the way he avoided her.

“Mr. Mo, when you chased my family out of the house, our ties were officially broken. What did you just ask me to call Mo Lian? I didn’t hear clearly.”

Mo Yan’s taunting made Mo Dong’s anger surge and his face turned red.

“Mo Yan, you’ve only been married for a few months and you already dare to talk back to your father.” Chang Lu saw Mo Dong clutching his heart and quickly stepped forward to help pat him. She even acted as a stepmother and scolded Mo Yan.

“Luo Tao must be a horrible person. It’s only been a few months and he’s already led you astray.”

Chang Lu decided to throw the blame onto Luo Tao.

“Whether my husband is horrible or not, it’s not something a mistress like you who interferes in someone else’s marriage can comment on.”

Mo Yan watched the three of them act like a family and felt her stomach churn non-stop.

“Mo Yan, you!” Chang Lu looked like she was about to faint from anger. Mo Lian went over to support the two of them and growled at Mo Yan, “Your mother is the mistress! You’re not a good person either.”

Fortunately, Mo Lian knew that she could not yell at a place like this. It would be embarra.s.sing.

“So are you guys trying to look for trouble? If you don’t want to talk to me, then don’t, okay? And…”

Mo Yan stepped forward and grabbed the front of Mo Lian’s dress. She whispered into her ear, “I let you speak first the last time. You slandered me. I won’t forget it. One day, I will settle the score with you.”

After saying that, Mo Yan even used the back of her hand to rub Mo Lian’s shoulders.

If one didn’t know what was going on, one would think that Mo Yan was showing Mo Lian affection instead of giving her a warning.

Mo Yan’s warning reminded Mo Lian of her three days at the police station. When she and w.a.n.g Nuo were released, someone had specially instructed them to apologize to Mo Yan. It was only because Mo Yan was on a business trip that they were able to avoid apologizing to her.

Somehow, the place where Mo Yan was on a business trip was actually Jing City.

Looking at Mo Lian’s pale face, Mo Yan slightly raised her eyebrows. Was her warning so scary? Mo Lian looked so scared.

“Hey, stop looking at them. The young master of the Lin family is here.”

The people who were secretly watching Mo Yan and the others nudged their companions and whispered.

Mo Yan’s ears were sharp, so she heard this sentence and looked in the direction that person said…
