C7 I Am Rich and Powerful I Am Just Bullying Others!
The Yem family is a force to be reckoned with, known by everyone in the capital. They are the wealthiest family, with influence in both legitimate and underground circles, ranking among the top three elite families globally. If they cut business ties with any family, no matter how powerful, that family would inevitably start to decline.
Moreover, when Yem Mohan publicly declared, "See you in the marketplace, it's a fight to the end!" no one took it as a joke. Everyone knew that when Yem Mohan spoke, his words were as good as gold, and he never went back on them.
This level of support gave everyone a new perspective on Mo Ya. She was seen as a femme fatale, capable of bringing two families to their knees. People were curious about what Mo Ya had that made Yem Mohan go to such lengths for her.
Even Mo Ya herself was taken aback by Yem Mohan's words, which left her utterly shocked.
"Uh, Director Mo, is there some misunderstanding here? Mo Ya is still my daughter, and we..."
"I recall the court has already issued a notice? The Mo family has severed all ties with Mo Ya. Anyi, find that day's newspaper and have it broadcasted on all major news sites and papers for a week. Let Director Mo and everyone else remember."
This is what it means to wield immense power and wealth.
Yem Mohan's repeated actions to protect Mo Ya left everyone gasping. What qualities did Mo Ya possess to warrant such dedication from Yem Mohan?
Mo Lan's eyes were filled with jealousy and disbelief as Yem Mohan stood by Mo Ya time and again. She thought she had destroyed Mo Ya, suppressing her to the point of no return, yet Mo Ya had bounced back stronger than ever.
Even after parting ways with Ann Jie, Mo Ya managed to align herself with a family ten, a hundred times more powerful. Why did Mo Ya get to be so fortunate?
No way, absolutely not. Everything about Mo Ya is hers—her dad, the Mo family, all of it. She’s already taken it into her hands, and now she’s even taken over the Ann family. She won’t allow, absolutely won’t allow, Mo Ya to live better than her. Not in a million years.
“Director Mo, everything can be discussed, right? We really didn’t mean any harm. Even if my sister isn’t part of our family anymore, she still has Mo family blood in her veins. We can’t just cut ties completely. We shouldn’t be enemies who never speak again, right?
If Director Mo doesn’t want us bothering my sister, we’ll steer clear when we see her. You can trust us on that.
Sister, I’m sorry. Even though you were a victim before, you know how it is. The Ann family is quite prestigious, and you really don’t match up to them…”
“So, Miss Mo, are you saying that my family isn’t as good as the Ann family?”
Mo Lan was taken aback. That’s not what she meant. How could the Yem family not measure up to the Ann family? Compared to the Yem family, the Ann family is like an ant to an elephant. She was just trying to leave a good impression on Yem Mohan, never imagining it would lead to such a misunderstanding.
Mo Lan felt too embarrassed to speak again.
Luckily, tonight was a charity auction hosted by Mr. Kong from Hong Kong, a family friend of the Yem family. Yem Mohan had to respectfully call him Grandpa Kong. So, when things were getting awkward, Mr. Kong came over.
The old man, in his seventies, wore a traditional outfit that gave him a scholarly air. He was full of energy, his face beaming with a hearty laugh even before he got close.
“It’s lively here! Mohan, why not come over and sit for a while? Your grandpa didn’t make it today, but the Spring Plowing painting he loves is my prized piece tonight. You should help him win it back. Come, let me show you.”
Given Elder Kong’s status, it was perfectly normal for him to ignore Ann Jie and Mo Huailin. He knew there was drama going on here, so his intervention was a subtle way of helping out. They didn’t dare cause any more trouble.
Yem Mohan, true to his word, decided not to press the issue further, allowing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief. The Yem family was not one to be trifled with, but as for Mo Ya, both the Mo family and Ann Jie wished they could make her disappear right then and there.
Watching the two walk away, Ann Jie's expression was dark and menacing. How dare this woman embarrass him like that? He vowed she wouldn't get away with it. Mo Ya wanted to be with Yem Mohan? Well, he'd see about that. He couldn't believe any man would want someone else's cast-offs, especially someone like Yem Mohan!
