Zheng Lin glared at her. “And if I forbid you to go?”

“I won’t obey you!”

“You…”

“You don’t seem to have understood what I said just now. Let me say it again. Do not interfere with my affairs again. Otherwise, you will suffer.”

Zheng Lin ground her teeth. “I am your mother. You have to listen to me. Marriage is such an important matter; parents must make the decision. Who do you think you are? I will never agree to you marrying someone like Mo Chengxi.”

Zhong Bingyuan smiled briefly and looked at her frostily. “I just won’t obey you. What can you do to me?”

“You…” Zheng Lin was almost crazed with rage. “I worked so hard to raise you, and you are my only daughter. Is this how you repay me?”

Zhong Bingyuan was still unmoved. “If you think it’s not worth it, I don’t mind not being your daughter!”

Zheng Lin was stunned. “What do you mean?”

Zhong Bingyuan raised her head and leaned on the balustrade. She smiled and said, “If I’m your daughter, I will have to marry into an impoverished family that is down on their luck. I will have to be good and obedient and become the enemy of the entire Zhong family.

“If I’m not your daughter, I will still have a father who loves me, uncles, aunts and a grandfather who dote on me, cousins and their wives who respect me, and I can marry into a rich family and live in the lap of luxury. I think that it’s not worthwhile to be your daughter!”

Zheng Lin was so hurt that she could barely breathe. She also hated this feeling of helplessness.

Zhong Bingyuan grunted coldly when she saw that her mother did not say anything else. She turned and went to the living room where she called Mo Chengxi.

The call was answered quickly. Zhong Bingyuan spoke gently, in what was clearly a coquettish tone!

“Brother Mo, it’s me, Yuan Yuan!”

Mo Chengxi said something, and then Zhong Bingyuan replied, “I’m all ready. I’ve decided that after I graduate, I will do my internship at your office. You have to arrange a good position for me

“Really? Wonderful! Naturally, it will be best if you teach me personally! If I’m your secretary, I can go to work and also be with you every day!

“Can I go to your office today to take a look? I have no lessons, and I’m free!

“Brother Mo, can you send a car for me? Some rumor has been going around for the past few days that you don’t want me anymore. The rumor says that I’m going to be married to a poor scholar. Lots of people are laughing at me! I don’t want to take the family car. Send a car to pick me up and see what they say!

“Oh? You’ll pick me up personally? No need, no need, just send a car for me. You’re already at work. It will delay you if you come over here.”

“Hehehe! Brother Mo, you are so good to me. Come over then! I’ll be waiting at home!”

Zhong Bingyuan hung up and skipped upstairs, clearly very happy.

No one knew what Mo Chengxi had said on the phone, but they had heard every word that Zhong Bingyuan uttered.

The meaning was clear. Eldest Young Lady was going to do her internship at Fourth Young Master Mo’s company. Fourth Young Master had directly arranged for her to be by his side and would personally guide her.

Eldest Young Lady wanted to go to the office today to take a look, and Fourth Young Master had immediately put aside his work and come to fetch her personally.

Mo Chengxi came very swiftly. In no more than 20 minutes, the black luxury car was parked outside the Zhong house.

Zhong Bingyuan went to touch up her makeup, pick up her handbag, and then excitedly left the house. She walked out in front of Zheng Lin!

Mo Chengxi was at the front door of the Zhong house. When he saw Zhong Bingyuan emerge, he personally got out of the car and opened the front passenger door for her, then drove off with her.

The servants in the Zhong House saw all this clearly.
