Madam Yang was terrified. “Hua’er, you… what do you mean?”
Yang Xuhua heartlessly said, “This incident is mainly due to Younger Sister arrogantly offending Madam Mo. Master Mo could not stand her mocking Gu Qingyao, so he destroyed our family. So, the first thing to do is to deal with Yang Shiyun in order to appease Master Mo.”
Madam Yang turned pale with terror. “How are you going to deal with her? She’s your own sister!”
Yang Xuhua said “Don’t worry. I won’t do much to her. But I will send her overseas, and she will never enter the capital again.”
Madam Yang collapsed onto the sofa. She scarcely dared to believe what she had just heard.
“Never enter the capital again? You… you are going to drive her out of our home? She’s your sister, your own sister! This is her home!”
Yang Xuhua said heartlessly, “Not only that. Before she leaves, I will certainly give her a good beating so that she will remember it. As for sending her overseas, wasn’t she living overseas before this? What does it matter?
“The Yang family is almost exterminated because of this incident. She has already destroyed her family. To send her overseas now is already an act of mercy. At least we are not leaving her homeless.
“Beyond that, whether the Yang family can be preserved or not will depend on us!”
Yang Shiyun could not accept that. She screamed, “Why? You came up with this idea, and you agreed to it from the start. Why should you drive me away now that he’s offended? All of you are party to this.”
Yang Xuhua laughed coldly and said, “That’s right. We did agree when you said you wanted to be the mistress of the Mo family. If you managed to defeat Gu Qingyao and marry into the Mo family, we naturally would be happy to support you. But I didn’t tell you to use such a stupid method as offending Gu Qingyao.
“You’re pretty fast! You only just returned, and you dared to make fun of Gu Qingyao. You’re certainly very bold. Gu Qingyao is not only the mistress of the Mo family. Just her family, the Gus, are not to be trifled with. Yet you dared to offend her. Since you’re so stupid, what right do you have to blame others?”
It was true. Yang Xuhua did want to climb up the ladder.
Over the years, the Gu family had obtained a lot of help from the Mo family. Naturally, Yang Xuhua was jealous of the kind of connections and resources that the Mo family could provide.
Mo Beihan did not move in either military or political circles. Some of Old Master Mo’s connections might have been used for his great-grandsons, but the rest had practically all been used by the Gu family.
Now that the Gu family members were all grown, they turned around to help the Mo children.
The two families helped each.
But one had to admit that if it were not for Old Master Mo’s help in the early years, the Gu family would not have risen so fast.
Did Yang Xuhua want power like that?
Of course he did!
It was not just him. Many people in the capital wanted it.
So Yang Xuhua did not think there was anything wrong with ingratiating themselves with the Mo family. Neither did he think it was wrong to want his sister to marry Mo Beihan.
What was wrong was Yang Shiyun stupidly using the wrong method.
Yang Shiyun had been studying overseas and had only come home recently. He knew his sister; she was both beautiful and intelligent. She knew how to invest and was modern. She was a highly educated, modern woman.
After all, she could not have been too stupid if she studied overseas.
Recently, he had been busy with the partnership with the Chu family and had not had the time to ask too much about the situation between his sister and Mo Beihan. As a result, the recent days dealt him a fatal blow!
She was really extremely stupid.
The best way of getting close to Mo Beihan was to get close to Gu Qingyao. Everyone knew that Mo Beihan adored his wife. As long as she became good friends with Gu Qingyao, she would have more opportunities to interact with Mo Beihan.
