Chapter 199 - Fate (1/2)

”You know my mother as well?” Mo Yu Ze asked in shock.

”I met your grandfather and mother many years ago when I needed someone to help me in the construction of buildings. When we met each other, we realized that we have the same surnames, and we laughed about it because what kind of fate could bring people with such rare surnames together. After that, we started to meet up and talk very often because of the projects. We hit it off, and we became friends. Your mother and grandfather are both good people, and that's why I invested in Mo's Construction Company.”

”However, after becoming friends with them, I found out that Liao Ming Hu wasn't a good person, and I immediately informed your mother about it. I tried many ways to get her away from Liao Ming Hu, but her love for Liao Ming Hu was carved too deeply in her heart that no matter what Liao Ming Hu did, she would accept it. I knew that Liao Ming Hu would try to harm your mother, so I sent people to protect your mother. I told her about Liao Ming Hu's attempts to kill her, and she said that she knew about it, but she didn't mind even if he took her life. The protection worked very well until six years ago. Six years ago, something happened, and all my people came back to my side. That was when Liao Ming Hu's attempt succeeded. By the time I knew about it, your mother had already died. Elder Mo became his next target, and he almost succeeded. Luckily, my people found out in time, and Elder Mo was saved. Though Liao Ming Hu didn't manage to kill Elder Mo, Elder Mo was injured, and he has been resting all this while.”

”At first, I wanted to take revenge on Liao Ming Hu on my own. However, I found you by accident after I found Chu Yao. Seeing that you have grown up to be a good person, I thought that letting you take over Mo's Construction Company would be better. I am sorry for not protecting your mother well…”

Mo Xi bowed to Mo Yu Ze and Grandfather Mo.

Liao Ming Hu could be said to be one of the first few people that Mo Xi ever met who was so evil. That was why she didn't know what to do and could only send people to protect Mo Xiu Lan at that time.

”No. Xi, you don't have to apologize. You have done a lot to protect Xiu Lan already… She is just too dumb and stubborn…” Grandfather Mo immediately held Mo Xi's hands.

Hearing Grandfather Mo's words, Mo Yu Ze snapped back from the shock.

”It isn't your fault. Please, don't blame yourself. I am sure my mother wouldn't want to see that as well.”

”Thank you.” Mo Xi bowed to them.

After thinking for a while, Mo Yu Ze suddenly thought of something, ”You are the little girl that my mother told me about when she was still alive?”

”That's right. She is the girl that your mother wanted you to marry,” Grandfather Mo answered happily.

The air immediately dropped to below zero degrees. Mo Xi coughed, and she looked towards Jing Mo Chen.

I'm done!

”However, she rejected long ago,” Grandfather Mo added.

The temperature of the air started to rise once again after Grandfather Mo added the last sentence.

Chen Chu Yao laughed when she noticed the interaction between Mo Xi and Jing Mo Chen, whereas Mo Yu Ze let out an awkward cough.

Chen Chu Yao then thought of something, ”Boss, was the person that supported brother Ze, you?”

”Mm. Keep it a secret.”

Chen Chu Yao immediately smiled, ”Yes, boss! Thank you, boss!”
