Chapter 54: Engagement Banquet
After finishing dinner, Mo Yun tidied up the place before heading to bed.
Meanwhile, Hao Yansen and the other guys headed to the study to discuss the arrangements regarding her bodyguards…
…
In the blink of an eye, a week flashed past
However, Mo Yun did not receive a call from Mo Zhenggan. It seemed like they did not take her threat seriously.
Hao Yansen immediately instructed his men to upload the footage onto the internet, with Mo Yun ‘kindly’ sending Mo Zhenggan a link as well.
Unsurprisingly, less than a minute later, Mo Zhenggan called her and erupted into a frenzy. “TAKE THE FOOTAGE DOWN IMMEDIATELY! If the footage spreads you can forget about getting what you want!!”
“So do you agree to my conditions or not?” Mo Yun asked coldly.
Mo Zhenggan was still livid, but he barely reined in his anger and answered in a heavy tone, “Fine, I’ll agree to your conditions. Xingyu will be engaged in the next two days, so I’ll announce your identity at her engagement banquet. But if the footage is leaked to the public… ”
“Rest assured. ” Mo Yun sneered. “We have not made the footage public yet, so no one knows of your dirty deeds. I hope that you would honour your word, otherwise the success of Mo Xingyu’s banquet cannot be guaranteed.” Mo Yun immediately hung up.
Out of sheer rage, Mo Zhengan smashed his phone against the floor and it broke into many pieces.
“Hubby, don’t tell me we have to agree to her unreasonable requests? ” Zhang Qin pouted.
Mo Zhenggan slammed his hands against the armrest of his chair. “What else do you suggest we do? If she publicised the footage, think of the amount of loss we’ll face! ”
“But… ”
“Mom.” Mo Xingyu cut off Zhang Qin’s concerns. “Don’t be too flustered. Dad must have his reasons for doing this? How can one Mo Yun ever hope to be his match? Dad, could it be you have some sort of plan to deal with her? ”
Looking at his beautiful, smart and filial daughter, Mo Zhenggan felt his heart lightening.
“Of course, who do you think I am? I already have a perfect countermeasure to deal with her. Hmph, Mo Yun that girl, did she think that she could be at ease the moment I agreed to her conditions? She’s still a million years too early to even hope to threaten me. I’ll make sure that this is the start of her never-ending nightmare… ”
Mo Zhenggan revealed a sinister smile, a vile plot being schemed in his heart.
“Mo Zhenggan has agreed to fulfil my conditions on the day of Mo Xingyu’s engagement banquet.”
“There definitely must be some scheme behind this! I smell something fishy.” Bai Lang said resolutely.
Hao Yansen did not say anything, but merely looked towards Mo Yun. “When the time comes, just go without any reservations. I will be supporting you.”
“Alright.” Mo Yun did not reject their help and looked at them sincerely. “Thank you.”
Without their aid, her path to revenge was destined to be filled with thorns.
She was only willing to accept help from them.
Hao Yansen gave her a deep gaze. “Don’t need to stand on courtesy with us. You saved Yun Long so take it as our gratitude.”
Bai Lang could only wordlessly chuckle to himself.
Hao Yansen, oh Hao Yansen, how long do you keep intending to use this excuse?
…
Nearly everyone who had some degree of influence in City B had been invited to Mo XIngyu’s banquet.
Though the Chu family and Mo family had said they wanted to keep the event low-profile, it still managed to set the entire city abuzz.
The banquet had not even begun but numerous guests had already arrived at the hotel where the banquet was to be held.
“Has Mo Yun arrived?” Mo Zhenggan walked to Zhang Qins side and asked her softly.
Zhang Qin avoided the paths of a few rich housewives and shook her head in answer. “No, I have been keeping an eye out for her, but still no news. My sentries have not reported anything.”
“Remember, when she arrives, you must bring her there no matter what, without incurring anyone’s attention.”
