Li Jinglan covered her chest with her hand, and her contorted face without makeup looked very ugly.

“Don’t make up stories. Who are you? How dare you accuse me in my own home?” Li Jinglan walked up and yelled, trying to kick Mo Wen out of the house.

Mo Wen strode over and looked down at her contemptuously with a sneer on his lips.

Without a word, he turned and walked to Mo Batian’s side. While handing over a yellow envelope to him, Mo Wen said, “Someone asked me to give you this. I think it contains the truth you’re seeking.”

Li Jinglan pointed at his nose and cursed, “Who do you think you are? This is my family business; you have no say in it!”

Slap! The moment she said it, Mo Batian stood up and knocked her down to the table; the fruits on the table all fell to the floor.

“Chairman Mo, calm down.” The assistant tried to stop him.

Mo Batian waved his hand. “This is my family business; you guys stay away from it. My last name won’t be Mo if I don’t kill this bitch.”

Mo Wen looked at the messy living room and walked out without a word.

When he walked out of the gate of the Mo Mansion, Mo Yangqian just happened to come back, and their gazes met.

“Who are you?” Mo Yongqiang paused his steps and was puzzled by Mo Wen’s cold but powerful presence. He wondered what had brought such a cold and imposing person to his home.

Mo Wen ignored him and strode away.

Hearing the commotion in the mansion, Mo Yongqiang went in and saw his mother being thrown out with a swollen face.

“Son, help me. Your dad wants to kill me,” Li Jinglan asked for help from Mo Yongqiang.

Mo Yongqiang moved up to stand before Mo Batian and implored, “Dad, no matter what Mom did, she’s your woman. The business is in a mess; we can’t have fights at home. If word got out, the Mo Family would be doomed.”

“In a mess? If not for her, the company wouldn’t have been in trouble,” Mo Batian said and then found that the person who delivered the photos to him was gone.

His assistant was aghast by the photos which captured the scenes where Li Jinglan was intimate with her lover in bed.

“Mo Batian, get out.” At this moment, people were yelling outside the mansion and tossing eggs and rotten vegetables into the yard.

The butler ran in with bits of egg white on his head. “Sir, lots of people are protesting outside, saying that we must return health to the city residents. There are even some reporters.”

Things were getting worse and worse. The entire Mo Family had nowhere to run, like ants on a hot pan.

“Now, the priority is that you must marry the daughter of the Shen Family and distract the people’s attention from these scandals.” This was the only solution that Mo Batian could think of. But would the Shen Family stand up and help them at this moment?

“Okay.” Mo Yongqiang decided to try despite his internal struggles and reluctance.

At this moment, Mo Batian’s cellphone rang; the call came from an unknown number.

“Hello.”

“Chairman Mo, I have a plan, and I’m sure you’ll like it. If you take this project, I believe all the scandals about your company will disappear. Furthermore, you’ll gain more popularity.” The caller cut to the chase and was direct.

This caller was the friendliest one among all the calls that Mo Batian had received today. Frantically, he took the offer like a drowning man grasping for straws.

“I’ll deal with you later.” Mo Batian threw the photos on her viciously, grabbed his briefcase, and left.

Mo Yongqiang looked at the photos in disbelief. His mother had always acted sedately; how could she do something so scandalous?
