Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 317: Eldest Daughter of the Mo Family

Xiao Chen gently tapped off the ash from his cigarette, his expression profound, "Normal."

He had anticipated this; overseas purchases had always been a lucrative opportunity, yet Tianqi Group monopolized a vast amount of resources, making it impossible for him to surpass them even if he wanted to join the fray.

As long as Tianqi Group had Summer on their side, their position was unshakable.

"It’s your foresight that saved us; lucky we didn’t invest. Otherwise, we’d be dead in the water," Zhai Quan felt a great relief in his heart.

Thankfully, Master Chen had spent a fortune to build the Beiyang Base, monopolizing overseas trade; otherwise, all the profits would have gone to Lou Ting.

The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up. At the same time, the first round of assessments for the Black Alliance and Golden Net came to an end, and everyone had already submitted their papers.

One by one, they emerged from their rooms, intending to eat lunch, only to see Feng Ye lying on the sofa with a gloomy and disheartened expression.

Suddenly, his phone rang, his eyes lit up upon seeing the message, and his dejected demeanor vanished without a trace. He sat up on the couch, responding to the message with laughs and smiles.

Lin Xuanze was munching on a cucumber, his gaze steadfastly fixed on him. Could he have been stimulated by something?

"Mo Lingwei?" Jiang Qi leaned over to ask.

Indeed.

Feng Ye replied cheerily to the messages, "Of course, she’s the one who messaged me first."

Jiang Qi rolled his eyes; the fact that he could go a few days without messaging had already surprised him, let alone Mo Lingwei taking the initiative to message him this time.

"What did she say?" Jiang Qi asked curiously.

"She’s asking about the assessment for Black Alliance and Golden Net."

Yun Yue walked down the stairs lazily, glancing at him when he heard his words.

After finishing lunch, the group started playing video games again.

**

Mo Family.

Mo Lingwei watched Feng Ye immediately reply to her WeChat message, a slight curve touching her lips.

As long as Feng Ye remained on her side, she would not worry about lacking opportunities to get close to Xiao Chen.

Thinking of the woman she had seen at the door of City Center Hospital yesterday, she took a deep breath; she still hadn’t found any information about that woman.

Even after asking several friends, no one knew who she was; they could only say she was someone who had recently appeared by Xiao Chen’s side.

She probably wasn’t from Beijing.

With this thought, Mo Lingwei felt a lot calmer. A woman with no background or significant abilities was someone the Xiao Family would never allow through their doors, and maybe Xiao Chen was just amusing himself.

"Lingwei." Mo Huai Zhang walked in with the aid of a walking stick.

Mo Lingwei snapped back to reality, helping him to sit on the sofa, "Grandpa, did you go to the Ji Family?"

It was only proper for him to visit now that Grandpa Ji had returned.

Mo Huai Zhang nodded slightly, relaxed after drinking a cup of tea, "Good news."

Mo Lingwei’s heart skipped a beat, she clenched her fists, almost expectant, "What good news?"

"Yes, dad, tell us what this good news is that’s got you so cheerful," Mo Mu was also curious.

It had been a long time since she had seen her father this happy.

Mo Huai Zhang put down his teacup and slowly began, "Elder Ji just told me he’s considering calling off the engagement with the Xiao Family."

Mo Lingwei immediately stood up, asking with some excitement, "Really?"

She hadn’t expected Grandpa Ji to consider such a move upon his return.

She thought that his return would cement the marriage contract between the Xiao and Ji families, but now he was thinking of breaking it off.

Does Ji Ling know about it?

Don’t think she’s not aware that she also likes Xiao Chen. She’s always pretended to be indifferent and unconcerned, but in reality, she’s well aware of her own desires.

If the engagement between the Xiao Family and the Ji Family were to be broken, she was certain she could become Lady Xiao.

She clenched her fists tightly, her heart secretly full of anticipation, her dark eyes brimming with ambition.

"Did Elder Ji really say that?" Mo Mu was also somewhat surprised. Who in Beijing didn’t know the importance of this marriage engagement? Could Elder Ji really give it up?

The Ji Family had been declining over the past decade, and there were countless benefits to marrying into the Xiao Family. There was no reason for them to call off the engagement.

"Although he didn’t state it explicitly, that was the implication," Mo Huai Zhang said with a smile.

He looked at Mo Lingwei, "Have you contacted Xiao Chen since you came back?"

As long as Xiao Chen was handled, the status of the Mo Family would skyrocket.

The Feng Family and the Jiang Family were the best examples.

Thinking of the encounter with Xiao Chen from the day before, Mo Lingwei’s heart tightened and her brow furrowed coldly, "No."

Mo Huai Zhang glanced at her and observed her expression, calmly stating, "Friends or not, it is only appropriate to let him know you’re back."

"I understand," Mo Lingwei said through clenched teeth, not revealing yesterday’s events.

"Grandpa, do you know there is a woman by Xiao Chen’s side?"

Her friends who didn’t have the chance to access such circles probably had no idea.

"A woman?" Mo Mu furrowed her brow. Xiao Chen was known for not indulging in female company; where would this woman have come from?

Mo Huai Zhang’s eyes darkened, a serious look on his face, "Yes, there is one."

That woman from the elevator at the Tianxi auction.

She was no ordinary woman—able to stay composed under so many gazes, her innate defiance and arrogance on full display. Standing by Xiao Chen’s side, they really made a perfect match.

Mo Lingwei’s heart tightened. That woman had managed to elicit such a reaction from her grandfather?

Mo Huai Zhang didn’t dwell on Yun Yue and turned to ask, "Have you completed your assessments with Black Alliance and Golden Net?"

Mo Lingwei was a bit distracted, responding absently, "The assessment is over. This time it was really tough—a true challenge from the Tianxi and Other Shore Flower. I should be able to make it to the second round."

She barely managed to finish. Luckily, she knew someone from the Black Alliance and had practiced many of the problems set by Y, otherwise, she wouldn’t have passed.

The passing score was 390, and she estimated she had gotten around 430. There shouldn’t be any issues making it to the second round.

"That’s good," Mo Huai Zhang said, visibly relieved, generously praising her.

After all, it was her own merit. Among the younger generation of the Mo Family, she was the most outstanding, otherwise, they wouldn’t have invested so much in her upbringing.

Now was the time for her to give back to the Mo Family.

"Not like your sister, that ungrateful creature," Mo Huai Zhang said discontentedly, slamming the teacup onto the table.

He had placed so much emphasis on her, spent so much money on her education, gave her the best of everything, and in return, she rebelliously ran away from the Mo Family.

Mo Lingwei curled her lips slightly, "Maybe sister has her own plans."

Mentioning her, Father Mo was furious enough to hurt his lungs, "What plans could she have, other than not wanting to be controlled by the Mo Family? What’s wrong with repaying the Mo Family after all the money spent on her?"

The opportunity to marry into the Feng Family was something countless people dreamt of and could not attain, yet she had no appreciation for her luck.

Mo Lingwei concealed the pride in her eyes. Sister, are you doing well out there?

She was now the legitimate eldest daughter of the Mo Family, treated with utmost respect by everyone.

Once she became a member of the Black Alliance and Golden Net, her status would rise even higher. The Four Major Families would all try to win her over. Meanwhile, her sister might still be struggling for survival in some corner.

Mo Mu’s face was full of pride. It was worth enduring so many years of grievances; now that her daughter had achieved success, nobody dared to point fingers at her anymore.
