Chapter 177: Family Conspiracy
Even though the elders stopped talking about the question, Mo Li could feel hostile eyes on her, like they were trying to bore holes into her. Honestly, Mo Li had no intention of making enemies but these young ladies were so easily offended. The simple truth was that there was always someone better in the world, even Mo Li had to submit to that. If these young ladies couldn’t wrap their heads around this simple logic, their lives would be hard in the future.
Mo Li lifted her head and saw He Sen walk towards the balcony. Mo Li notified Jiang Yao and Old Madam Mo before she excused herself from the table. Mo Li took a long detour but her destination was the balcony.
Since she knew that Quan Yu’s incident was related to Huan Yu and Zhuang Xin’s death might be directly related to He Sen, she would snatch this opportunity to dig up more information.
“Vice President He, is there still an empty role in the project that Zhuang Xin auditioned for? What did Zhuang Xin do for her audition?” Mo Li stood beside He Sen and whispered. Mo Li phrased her question in a way that was ambiguous.
“If Miss Mo is interested in that project, Miss Mo can directly approach the director. You don’t need me.” He Sen’s eyes narrowed and his voice was guarded.
“We are from the same company, if we can help each other, wouldn’t that be a win-win situation?”
Looking at Mo Li, He Sen had to admit the girl was quite bewitching. He Sen almost believed her. However, Mo Li was Nie Li’s artist and she had an unusual relationship with Zhan Hai.
“This is my business card, if vice president He changes his mind, feel free to call me. Of course, you have to do it before Sister Nie Li is released from detention.” Mo Li stuffed a business card into He Sen’s hand and left without looking back.
Mo Li had no idea that up on the second floor, Elder Mo had witnessed this whole transaction through the window.
…
“Father…” Mo Yi had no idea why Elder Mo had suddenly called him up when there were still so many guests they had to greet downstairs.
Elder Mo turned around and took his seat. He lifted his eyes at Mo Yi. “Do you know what Mo Li is doing now and what she intends to do in the future?”
“She’s playing around in the entertainment industry and I hear that she wants to be a doctor in the future…” Mo Yi was surprised that Elder Mo wanted so discuss something so serious with him. He became quite nervous.
“No way!” Elder Mo slammed his fist on the table. “There can’t be any medical practitioner from this family. She is still young so she doesn’t need to handle the family business yet. But in the future, she’ll be handling the expanding family business. She will not have time for medical practice!”
Mo Yi was confused. Yes, it was true that the family business was growing. Mo Yi and his two sons were not enough to handle the expansion. When Ol’ Three joined the entertainment industry, Elder Mo was already dissatisfied. When Mo Li continuously failed in her classes, Elder Mo was anxious.
Elder Mo had his own ambitions. He was no longer satisfied with the things the family had at Pearl River. However, certain ambitions couldn’t be expressed so openly. Elder Mo grew up and made his career in Beijing. If not for the Quan Family, he might have taken root in Beijing.
However… Why would Elder Mo be so against Mo Li studying medicine?
Mo Yi saw darkness in his father’s eyes.
“Mo Yi, I will leave this matter with you. You better break the news to Mo Li as soon as possible so she can be prepared. Tell her to stop wasting time on the minor matters so she can focus on the important business.”
Mo Yi had a feeling his father didn’t tell him the full picture however he knew Elder Mo didn’t like to be questioned. Mo Yi nodded and left the room.
