Chapter 516, A Merry Heart Goes All the Way (Second Update)

She pursed her lips, suppressing the anger that surged to her throat, "Miss Ye, don’t just enjoy a moment of verbal triumph. With Tengyue Group as an ally for the Wild Area cooperation project, it’s a good thing for MK Group as well, isn’t it?"

"Is it really a good thing to give away half of the money in your pocket to someone else?" Ye Jiuliang’s gaze turned cold and mocking as she spoke.

"Then, as a good deed, why doesn’t Tengyue Group lead by example and show me once?"

Mo Su’s eyebrows knotted in frustration; anyone would look displeased after being insulted so indirectly.

She had been very careful and cautious with the document. How could Ye Jiuliang have spotted the loopholes?

"Miss Mo, why are you silent?" Ye Jiuliang pressed on mockingly, "Or is it that such a good deed is beyond Tengyue Group’s ability?"

Mengzhu was shocked by the other woman’s translucent, jade-like face and Ye Jiuliang’s meticulous mind.

She had seen the document too and wouldn’t have noticed the trickery if the young miss hadn’t pointed it out. Yet, Ye Jiuliang managed to spot the flaws in such a short time, which was beyond her expectations.

No wonder then, President Mo warned the young miss repeatedly to be wary of Ye Jiuliang, not to underestimate her.

After being repeatedly choked, Mo Su’s expression darkened, "Miss Ye, if you are holding a grudge because of the matter I brought up at Li Mansion the other day, just say it directly. There’s no need to twist my words at every turn."

"Tengyue Group values the strength of MK Group, which is why I came to visit. If our companies could cooperate, it would be mutually beneficial for everyone."

Ye Jiuliang scoffed sarcastically, "Miss Mo seems to still be missing the point. The matter of your visit to Li Mansion means nothing to me. I’m only unsatisfied with the content of this document."

"As I’ve said before, if the terms in the content are unsatisfactory, we can discuss them in more detail," Mo Su saw an opportunity and quickly seized it.

"There’s no need for detailed discussions," Ye Jiuliang’s cool, dark eyes flashed with chill, pausing after each word, "Miss Mo, if you’re unwilling to show even a bit of sincerity in cooperation, who knows, once we really start working together, I might be duped by you without even realizing it."

"So you mean to say, Miss Ye is set on refusing the cooperation?" Mo Su asked bluntly, her tone cold.

Ye Jiuliang smiled, "At last, Miss Mo has finally understood."

Mo Su’s lips were tightly pressed, her gaze drifting towards Li Mochan, who remained silent and didn’t glance her way even once.

Clearly, he was content to let Ye Jiuliang do as she pleased.

Mo Su stood up, looking down at Ye Jiuliang from her height, "Since Ms. Ye has said all there is to say, we have nothing left to discuss."

With that, she walked towards the door.

Mengzhu took the document from the table and followed close behind her.

"Wait."

Ye Jiuliang’s voice arose from behind, causing Mo Su to hesitate in her step.

She turned to look at her, meeting Ye Jiuliang’s smiling eyes, not believing that she had changed her mind.

"Miss Mo, in your eyes, perhaps interests are everything," Ye Jiuliang smirked casually, "But for me, Ye Jiuliang, ’money can’t buy happiness’."

Mo Su’s anger, barely contained, was on the verge of collapsing, a spark of rage flashing in the depths of her eyes.

Money can’t buy her happiness?

Heh, she really wanted to see if Ye Jiuliang would still be able to be happy in a few days.

Mo Su gave her a deep look, reached for the door, and just then, Wei Bei came in with coffee.

He asked politely, "Vice President Mo, wouldn’t you like to have a cup of coffee before you leave?"

Without a word, Mo Su left, her high heels clacking against the floor, with Mengzhu hurrying after her.

Wei Bei, holding the coffee, walked in with an admiring smile on his face.

"Madam, my respects."

With Mo Su’s plans thwarted and having encountered Ye Jiuliang, all she could do was eat humble pie.

Looking at her expression just now was like seeing someone who’d stepped in something unpleasant.

After all that talking, Ye Jiuliang was quite thirsty, so she picked up the leftover juice and continued to drink.

She said, "Keep a close eye on that plot of land in the Wild Area in the middle recently."

The woman Mo Su clearly had wolf-like ambitions, and having rebuffed her partnership proposal today, she certainly wouldn’t let the matter drop with her temperament.

Wei Bei understood and nodded, then suddenly seemed to remember something, hesitation showing on his face.

Noticing his reticence, Ye Jiuliang said, "Speak your mind."

"Madam, that Mo Su harbors ulterior motives, why have you always let her be?"

To his question, Ye Jiuliang revealed a smile that appeared as expected, "Go ask Wei Xi."

Wei Bei was surprised, "Wei Xi has asked you too?"

Ye Jiuliang nodded, pulling Li Mochan to his feet, "I’m hungry, let’s eat."

Picking up his coat, Li Mochan grasped her hand in return.

Watching them leave, Wei Bei quickly pulled out his phone and made a call to Wei Xi to probe for information.

**

Back home, the anger she had been suppressing erupted violently at once.

Mo Su grabbed a vase from the table and hurled it fiercely against the wall.

"Bang—"

The crash and clatter brought Mo Chen running down from upstairs.

"What happened?"

Seeing Mo Chen, Mengzhu waved him off, "Master Chen, please go back to your room."

Mo Chen, as if he hadn’t heard her, was drawn to the document torn in two on the floor.

He picked up the document and glanced over it; the name MK Group caught his eye.

Mo Chen paused for a moment then looked up at Mo Su with a complicated expression, "Did you just go to MK Group?"

Mo Su was calming her emotions and ignored his question.

Realizing Mo Su was still fuming and fearing a quarrel between the siblings, Mengzhu tried to intervene kindly, "Master Chen, you should go back to your room. This is a company matter; you shouldn’t interfere."

Remembering what Ye Jiuliang had mentioned to him, Mo Chen’s face darkened, and he stormed over to Mo Su with a fierce demeanor.

"Sis, do you really have your eyes on Li Mochan? Are you trying to steal him from Ye Jiuliang’s hands?"

Mo Su was already angry, and his questioning now made it impossible for her to hold back her fury.

"Mo Chen, watch your tone. Who gave you the audacity to question me?" she snapped coldly.

Because it concerned Ye Jiuliang, Mo Chen didn’t back down, pressing on, "Is it true or not?"

"So what if it is." Mo Su’s voice suddenly rose in volume, her eyes shooting forth a fierce, cold light.

"Which side are you on, Mo Chen? Make it clear, I am your real sister," she said incisively.

"So is she," Mo Chen retorted without hesitation. "She’s married to Li Mochan now, they are the couple, and you can’t destroy their relationship."

Before the words finished, Mo Su’s expression darkened, and she swung her hand in a slap.

"Smack—"

Mengzhu jumped in fright, staring at the slap print on Mo Chen’s cheek, momentarily stunned.

After lowering her hand, Mo Su’s voice was ice-cold, "Mo Chen, let me tell you, don’t meddle in my affairs. I’m not Mother; I won’t indulge you over and over."

Mo Chen tugged at the corner of his mouth, feeling a sharp sting on his face.
