Zhong Bingyuan was fuming. “In what way are they unsuitable? He’s the one I like. Brother Mo is outstanding in every aspect, but you insist on disliking him. Mother, Brother Mo is clearly excellent, be it in terms of family background, character, talent, or status. I don’t understand. As a mother, shouldn’t you be happy that your daughter has found a boyfriend like that? Why do you insist on finding someone who is inferior to Brother Mo?”
“Shut up!” Zheng Lin was enraged. “How can a girl talk so openly about liking someone? All these years, you’ve been allowed to go to school, and you’ve interacted with those coarse people who have been a bad influence on you. Is this how a young girl should speak?”
Zhong Bingyuan: “…”
Sometimes she really felt that her mother was crazy.
“No matter what you say, I won’t go matchmaking. I have someone I like. You can give up this idea!”
Zhong Bingyuan could not be bothered to argue with her about this. They had quarreled over this matter many times. She just could not get through to her mother.
Zhong Bingyuan turned to leave, but Zheng Lin grabbed her. “No, you are not allowed to leave. He’s waiting for you. If you leave, how am I going to explain it?”
“I don’t care how you explain it. That’s your problem. I’ve already told you that I object, but you insisted on bringing them here. Solve the problem yourself.”
“Don’t you dare go… Zhong Bingyuan, what kind of love potion has that brat given you? Why do you listen only to him? If you dare to disobey me, I’ll go and look for him tomorrow. How dare he deceive and swindle my daughter. I would like to see if there are still laws in this world!”
Zhong Bingyuan was stunned. “You… what do you mean?”
Zheng Lin laughed coldly, “You’re my daughter. You should obey me. Mo Chengxi has dared to cheat you. As your mother, of course I should call him to account. Isn’t he a fine young man with leadership skills? Hasn’t his reputation always been excellent? I would like to see how his subordinates view him after that?”
Zhong Bingyuan’s eyes widened. She had not expected her mother to dare to say something so unreasonable.
She meant that she would go to Brother Mo’s company and kick up a fuss?
“You… are you crazy?”
Zheng Lin laughed coldly. “I’m disciplining my own daughter. No one has any right to interfere. Come with me!”
As Zheng Lin spoke, she dragged Zhong Bingyuan towards the restaurant.
“Hey… let go… let me go…”
Even though Zhong Bingyuan was very reluctant, Zheng Lin dragged her over like a crazed person. They had just vanished from sight when a man dressed in black, with a cap lowered over his head, left the place.
Mo Chengxi’s car was parked at a nearby corner. He was so intelligent he could tell right from the start that something was amiss with Zhong Bingyuan. Of course he must get to the bottom of it.
His car had driven off, but that was just a show he put up for Zhong Bingyuan. He had turned a corner and driven back.
When the man in black saw Mo Chengxi, he respectfully greeted him. “Young Master!”
He told Mo Chengxi what had happened. Mo Chengxi lowered his eyes to disguise the cold light that shone from them.
“Go back and investigate who the other party is. Also, get the restaurant employees to keep a close eye on Madam and take care of her. Make sure that no one offends her. Besides that, just make sure that Madam doesn’t find out.”
“Yes, I understand!”
Mo Chengxi drove off.
The Mo business empire extended throughout the world. In particular, the capital was the Mo family’s headquarters. Perhaps even Zheng Lin and Zhong Bingyuan were not aware that this restaurant belonged to the Mo family.
