Chapter 491, That’s Just How Grandpa Talks (Second Update)

Mo Su remained unruffled, responding with composure, "Regarding this matter, I am well aware, but as long as marriage has not occurred, everything is uncertain. Moreover, what I appreciate more is Mohan’s talent. Elder Li, you have weathered many storms yourself, and you should know, between love and career, which is more important."

Elder Li chuckled coldly, "What do you mean by that?"

"I think I should make a formal self-introduction." Mo Su hooked her lips in a smile, a confident glint flickering in her eyes.

"My name is Mo Su, the heiress of Tengyue Group and also the group’s Vice President."

Elder Li felt a slight surprise at the bottom of his heart. Tengyue Group, one of the world’s top ten financial conglomerates.

Mo Su continued, "I believe Elder Li is somewhat familiar with our Tengyue Group. I suppose MK Group could use support like mine, don’t you think?"

Running out of patience for her beating around the bush, Elder Li spoke in a firm voice, "Just speak plainly, what exactly brings you here today."

"I’ve said before, I greatly admire Li Mochan, and I believe Elder Li is a wise man who should know what I want." Mo Su said.

"Since you’ve put it that way, I’ll be blunt too. I am very satisfied with Xiaojiu as my daughter-in-law. As for others, it would be better to dismiss any inappropriate thoughts sooner rather than later." Elder Li said.

Knowing Elder Li valued benefits greatly, Mo Su did not expect him to refuse so directly; a hidden dark color passed through the depths of her eyes.

"If there’s nothing else, Miss Mo, please feel free to leave." Elder Li dismissed her.

The corners of Mo Su’s mouth still bore a proper smile as she got up unhurriedly, "Sorry to disturb you, then. I’ll take my leave now."

Elder Li looked at the objects on the table and said lightly, "One shouldn’t take rewards without merit. Tie Shan, help take out the gifts Miss Mo brought."

"Yes." Tie Shan picked up the gifts and approached Mo Su’s side.

"Miss Mo, please."

Mo Su gave a light nod, her demeanor as composed as ever, without a hint of resentment.

"Elder Li, goodbye."

Elder Li watched her silhouette, frowning slightly.

The heiress of Tengyue Group?

The black sports car stopped in the courtyard, and the servants’ faces brimmed with smiles at the sight of the person stepping out.

"Good day, Miss Ye."

"Good day, Miss Ye."

"Good morning." Ye Jiuliang hooked her red lips in a smile, waving at them and casually plucking a rose from the garden.

Turning around, she saw from a distance Tie Shan accompanied by two women.

Just by their attire, one could guess which was the guest that Tie Shan had mentioned.

Ye Jiuliang’s eyes narrowed, the smile curling her lips became more intriguing. Ah, a foreign beauty.

Interesting.

Almost simultaneously, Mo Su saw Ye Jiuliang.

She had arrived quite quickly.

After handing back the gifts to Mengzhu, seeing that Ye Jiuliang had arrived, Tie Shan went inside to inform Elder Li.

"Tsk, where did this beauty come from?" Ye Jiuliang strolled over, her tone flippant.

"She looks rather unfamiliar."

Black trousers, a white shirt, and a long black coat accentuated her slender figure; her small, translucent face bathed in the warm sun was startlingly stunning.

Mo Su concealed the malice and jealousy in her eyes, offering a faint smile, "Miss Ye is indeed as beautiful as the rumors say, no wonder you have captured Mohan’s heart."

"Nice to say, just a bit prettier than you," Ye Jiuliang arched an eyebrow. She didn’t care whether it was a courtesy or not, accepting all of her praises without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Mengzhu secretly sized up Ye Jiuliang. Such a young girl to be one of the leaders of the K organization—it was indeed hard to believe.

Mo Su reached out her hand, "Hello, my name is Mo Su, I’m Mohan’s friend from school abroad."

Mo, Su.

Ye Jiuliang shifted her dark pupils, disregarding her hand hanging in the air.

"My Li Mochan doesn’t have many friends, and I haven’t heard him mention this name." Ye Jiuliang casually fiddled with the rose in her hand, "What brings Miss Mo here today?"

Mo Su didn’t show awkwardness, withdrawing her hand gracefully.

"Xiaojiu." The elder Li came out of the house, looking spirited in a dark red Tang suit.

Ye Jiuliang looked on with a smile.

The old man was indeed dressed joyously today.

"Xiaojiu, come here." The elder Li pulled Ye Jiuliang aside, deliberately lowering his voice, and succinctly explained the purpose of Mo Su’s visit.

Coveting his Li Mochan?

Ye Jiuliang smiled playfully, "Dad, you and Tie Shan go ahead and wait for me in the car. I’ll have a few words with her, then we’ll head back to Mo Garden."

Called "Dad" so out of the blue, the elder Li was shocked, his eyes briefly flashing with joy before he turned to walk to her car.

"Tie Shan, let’s wait in the car."

Upon hearing this, Tie Shan glanced at Ye Jiuliang before following the old man’s steps.

Ye Jiuliang toyed with the rose in her hand, her eyes shimmering with dazzling brilliance, "Coveting my Li Mochan, is that what you mean?"

Having her intention laid bare, Mo Su remained composed, with a faint smile, "I really admire Mohan’s talent. It’s rare to see a man as outstanding and smart as he is. Miss Ye, you’re just his girlfriend, I think I should have the right to compete with you fairly, shouldn’t I?"

"Fair competition?"

Ye Jiuliang laughed as if she heard a joke, her laughter ringing out bold and arrogant.

Mo Su watched her intently, patiently waiting for her to continue.

The laughter suddenly stopped. Ye Jiuliang plucked a petal from the rose, her tone cold, "Do you think you’re worthy?"

Having said that, she looked Mo Su up and down seriously, clicking her tongue, "You look pretty enough, but clearly, your brain doesn’t work well, dreaming in broad daylight."

Her taunting words were uncensored, and Mo Su’s unruffled facade cracked, her smile unable to hold.

"Miss Ye, please mind your language."

"Sorry, I talk like this. If you don’t like it, better stay out of my sight," Ye Jiuliang chuckled lightly, catching the flash of annoyance in Mo Su’s eyes.

"This is not your place to be; my man is not for you to covet. So, kindly keep your distance. You should know, I particularly enjoy nipping buds in their growth."

With those words, she dropped the red rose, her toe grinding over it.

"Especially thorny beauties like you."

In a barrage of insinuations, long-term training had made her mask her emotions successfully, but faced with Ye Jiuliang’s words, Mo Su, completely infuriated, gave a mocking laugh, "I have to admire Miss Ye’s eloquence, but you and Mohan aren’t husband and wife, so my pursuit of him should be legitimate."

"If you had said that yesterday, maybe you would have had a point, but today," Ye Jiuliang smiled with a chilled edge, an imposing aura pouring out, "we just got our marriage certificate. So, if I’m not misunderstanding you, Miss Mo, you’re coveting my husband and even trying to be the other woman. That’s accurate, right?"

"..."

They had registered their marriage. When the hell did that happen?

Mo Su’s brown eyes narrowed slightly, "Is that so? Well then, I really must congratulate you."
