Two days later, Mo Yan was working when her phone suddenly rang. It was a call from an unknown number.
“Hello? How are you?”
“Mo Yan! You blocked my number?”
Mo Yan had just picked up the phone when she heard Mo Lian’s exasperated voice. Mo Yan subconsciously pressed the hang-up button.
Before she could block it again, Mo Lian’s call came in again.
“Mo Yan! I have something to talk to you about.” Mo Lian shouted directly.
Mo Yan rolled her eyes. She had already blocked three of Mo Lian’s numbers before, and Mo Lian was actually able to get a fourth card to call her! How weird!
“What is it? Talk!”
“The Mo family has a charity banquet on Saturday night. The venue is the Peninsula Hotel. Come and attend it.”
Mo Lian’s commanding tone made Mo Yan laugh. She rejected her directly: “I’m not going.”
“You!”
Mo Lian was choked by Mo Yan’s straightforward words. When she remembered that Luo Tao had rejected her the same way last time, she felt even more resentful.
“It was dad who asked me to invite you.” Mo Lian said stiffly.
“I’m not going. That’s your dad, not mine. Why should I listen to him?”
Although Mo Yan’s words did not give her any face, Mo Lian was secretly delighted.
Judging from the degree of separation between Mo Yan and Mo Dong, it was really like what her mother said. She did not have to worry too much about Mo Dong reconciling with Mo Yan.
“Do you have anything else? If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.” Mo Yan said coldly on the other side of the phone.
“Don’t hang up, Mo Yan. I advise you to attend this banquet. Otherwise, it’s hard to say what will happen to your family.”
Even if she did not want Mo Yan to come, she did not dare to disobey Mo Dong’s orders. Of course, she would not reveal to Mo Yan that the Huo family’s daughter might attend the banquet, so she could only threaten her.
“What do you mean?”
Mo Yan’s voice became colder. Mo Lian had repeatedly threatened her with her family. Did she really think that Mo Yan had no temper?
“Dad asked you to come. If you don’t come, dad will blame me. There’s nothing I can do! I can only use your family members to threaten you.”
Seeing that Mo Yan was angry, Mo Lian was happy. Her words also became more and more infuriating.
“Mo Lian, do you think that threatening me with the same method will work?”
Mo Yan’s voice was cold and stern. If Mo Lian could see Mo Yan’s current expression, she would probably be scared half to death. However, Mo Lian could not see it.
“Now that your mother is in the hospital and your brother is in school, it’s easy for me to make a move. Think about it yourself! The invitation will be mailed to your house. Whether you go or not, it’s up to you.”
After saying that, Mo Lian hung up the phone first.
Mo Yan heard the busy tone coming from the phone. The veins on her hand that were holding the phone popped up. Mo Lian!
Taking two deep breaths, Mo Yan focused her attention back on work. It was probably because she had experienced a lot of things over time. The moment Mo Lian said that Mo Dong wanted her to attend the banquet, she knew that Mo Dong wanted to use her to discipline Mo Lian.
Mo Dong had always been a person who cared about his face. After the incident with Mo Lian, how could he not be angry? But now, he only had Mo Lian by his side. He wanted to discipline her, but he did not have the time, so he used her to teach Mo Lian a lesson.
Heh! Mo Dong’s idea was good. Even though he had already severed his relationship with this daughter. As long as he wanted to use her, he would still use her.
However, Mo Lian was right. With her current situation, she could not completely protect her family. She could only work hard and climb to a higher position to earn more money and hire people to take care of them.
Mo Yan sighed. When she had time, she really had to think of ways to deal with Mo Lian. She could not always let her use her weak spot to threaten her.
During lunch, Mo Yan, Xu Wan, and the others sat at the same table. Halfway through lunch, they heard Qiao Li and Zhao Xin mention the Mo family’s charity banquet on Saturday.
Zhao Xin had never been interested in banquets. She looked as if she had lost her parents.
“I don’t want to go. My mom is urging me to find a boyfriend. If I go, she might drag me around to promote me.”
Xu Wan looked at Zhao Xin’s pained expression and smiled happily: “I don’t understand the troubles of rich people!”
“You’re still gloating over my misery! You’re too much! Qiao Li, your family isn’t urging you to get married?”
Qiao Li elegantly swallowed a mouthful of food and said, “Fortunately, they haven’t rushed me recently.”
