C15 The Abandoned Daughter of a Rich Family(15)
Yuan Lingling and Mooh Bai enjoyed a delightful dinner together, while things weren't as relaxed for Yuan Yiyi. She and Lin Chen, both preoccupied with their own thoughts, had a quick meal and parted ways.
Once home, Yuan Yiyi felt a surge of satisfaction as she admired the luxury items she had purchased, her vanity appeased and her anger dissipated. The thought of Lin Chen helping her deal with Yuan Lingling made her even happier. Over the years, the Yuan family had always indulged her every whim, but she particularly relished receiving gifts from men.
Unbeknownst to her, photos of her with Lin Chen appeared on Mo Tingchen's computer desktop the next morning, complete with a high-resolution timestamp.

On their way home, Yuan Lingling and Mooh Bai encountered a group of menacing figures dressed in black. Without hesitation, Yuan Lingling swiftly dealt with them and then led Mooh Bai back home. Mooh Bai, watching his formidable sister, held back his words, realizing he needed to start training harder.
"Don't ask why I'm so skilled. Just know that I've been keeping my abilities under wraps, got it?"
"Okay, sis, I'll work hard on my training from now on."
For the past month, Mooh Bai had obediently called her "sister," and Yuan Lingling felt proud, convinced he was impressed by her exceptional hacking skills and combat prowess.
"Don't worry, until you can protect yourself, I'll always have your back."
Mooh Bai's eyes darkened. If he could protect himself, would she leave?
"Sis, will you always stay by my side?"
"One day, you'll get married. What would it look like to have your sister tagging along? Now, go wash up and get some sleep."
"Okay..." Mooh Bai's gaze turned dangerous, but Yuan Lingling, engrossed in her phone, didn't notice.
In the system space, Hanhan observed Mooh Bai, shaking slightly: "Host Lord, your little cabbage is going astray!" But it decided not to inform the host, thinking she needed to learn the hard way that even her system had its quirks.
Mooh Bai returned to his room and, after discovering Lin Chen's identity, hacked into his company's internal network to check their accounts. He sent the problematic records to the relevant authorities, confident that Lin Chen would be too busy dealing with the fallout to bother them the next day.
Yuan Lingling was unaware of Mooh Bai's actions. In her mind, he was still the younger brother who needed protection. With her tasks in mind, she accelerated the development of her game.
The next day, after receiving some incriminating photos, Mo Tingchen sent someone to verify them. When he found out that Yuan Yiyi had used his money to buy gifts for a rival, he was furious and confined her, using the Yuan family as leverage against her. Yuan Yiyi wasn't particularly concerned about Yuan Lin and his wife, but she couldn't bear to lose the Yuan family's wealth. Without the title of the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, she felt she was nothing.
After thinking it over, Yuan Yiyi stopped resisting and began to appease Mo Tingchen. She managed to get some information from Mo Tingchen's assistant, learning that he received such photos regularly. Her first suspicion was Yuan Lingling, but she dismissed the thought, considering Yuan Lingling to be clueless. The more she thought about it, the more she believed it was one of Mo Tingchen's business rivals trying to provoke him, which only fueled her resentment towards him.
Yuan Lingling had planted a listening device on Yuan Yiyi's phone and was aware of the current developments. Knowing that Mo Tingchen was investigating the source of the photos, she deliberately pointed the blame towards Lin Chen, hoping to pit these two headstrong CEOs against each other. Without the backing of their family businesses, these obsessive executives were nothing.
Soon, the results of the college entrance exams were released.
